 Chapter 20: Caught



 "Welcome everyone to the Tournament of Creativity. It's going to be another day of Players proving that they are the best creator of creativity," an announcer yelled into the mic. "I'm Bob182 with KellyCreeper. Kelly, how is it down there?"

 "It's certainly warm and sunny down here, Bob," Kelly said into the mic. "We've got Players here ready to begin. And this day is going to be exciting because we've got some YouTubers here ready to participate. This year, we've got Pewdiepie. Now of course, Pewdiepie rarely plays MC but this year, he's determined to show off his skills."

 "HI MA! I'm on TV!" Pewdiepie screamed in the mic. Kelly slightly pushed him away. "Also, were on the look out for any trouble making griefers here today. This event has been known for griefer problems. Bob, do you remember 2 years ago how one griefer almost ruined it all for us?"

 "Why, yes," Bob said. "And thanks to Notch, that griefer was kicked out and we were able to still have our Tournament to continue. Any Admins you can speak to Kelly?"

 "Why, yes," Kelly said. "Here's Dinnerbone. Hey, Dinnerbone. How's the weather?"

 "It's fanatastic," Dinnerbone said. "Notch wanted all Players to know that today is the day to show off their creativity. And even if you don't win, everyone's invited to the after party of course where we can all congratulate on each other's works. Kids, remember don't stay up til pass your bedtime."

 "Thanks, Dinnerbone," Kelly said. "Oh, there's Sky. Hey Sky. Any griefer problems we should be worried about?"

 "Not today, Kelly," Sky said. "Well, there's...." Immediately, Ant slapped Sky and muffled his mouth. "Nope. Nothing to worry about Kelly. I think Sky was about to say the only thing he was going to be worried about is the fact that there's going to be a lot of butter today. So it might make him crazy a little...right, Sky?"

 "Mmm...get off, Ant," Sky roared. "Yesss....that's what I meant. Butter everywhere! Goodness! I'm going to be all whacked out today. Let's just make sure our Players don't just a lot of it."

 "Well, I'm sure that you'll be fine today, Sky," Kelly said. "That's it for our news today, Bob. Back to you."



 TomBoy nervously walked down the step stone pathway. She was waiting for Martin to come back. There was no sight of Lady anywhere. If it was true that it was possible she wouldn't make it, then why did she have an antsy feeling?

 Martin finally ran to her.

 "Any word?" TomBoy asked.

 Martin shook his head. "Nope. All gates are closed and armed. No sight of her. If anything, it's better like this, Tom. There's probably no way to save her."

 "I feel like she's here," TomBoy said. "I feel like she's close. Maybe we should talk to Notch again. Just tell him to go easy on her. We should let her explain herself."

 "And get her to grief again?" Martin said. "I'm sure we can trap her somehow but it's only going to be a few minutes before Notch kicks her out. We can't afford for anyone to get hurt...it's just the way it is."

 TomBoy sighed. "Ok, then. Then what's with the feeling of her being here?"

 "What do you mean?" Martin asked. "You sense her? How? Is it a sixth sense feeling?"

 "I feel...a presence," TomBoy said.

 "How can she get pass the gates then?" Martin asked. "It's all armed. The Admins are even around the Players' spots for their artwork. Unless...."

 They both looked at each other and gasped. "Invisibility..."

 "We gotta tell Notch," Martin said. "She could be here. Anywhere."

 "We should look for her and try to find her," TomBoy said. "That way, she wouldn't get kicked out and then maybe we can all sort this out."

 "Yeah, and what? Get ourselves kicked out?" Martin yelled. "There's no way. We gotta go now...We gotta...."

 He then gasped and pulled TomBoy aside. "What?" she asked.

 "Her," Martin said. He pointed. Lady was standing beside a wall, chilling. She didn't seem to be rude or happy or anything. She looked relaxed and just nodded at everyone who glanced at her.

 "So shadow hiding," Martin said. The sun was above the sky now and the walls were creating their shadows, allowing Lady a perfect hiding spot.

 "We should talk to her," TomBoy said. Martin shrugged. "Are you sure?" "Yes," TomBoy said. "Let's just go. See what she says. Maybe....I'm hoping...she might changed..."

 They slowly walked up to her. "Hey, Lady."

 Lady turned to them. "Hi, Martin. Hey, TomBoy."

 "What are you doing here?" Martin asked. "There are Admins and secretaries looking for you. If you get caught, you're going to be in a lot of trouble."

 "I know," Lady said. "I don't mind. I'm hiding for now though. I can't afford for anyone to catch me. And do not worry about me. No more griefing for today."

 "Huh?" TomBoy said.

 "I'm not going to grief," Lady said. "I'm just here to watch the Tournament. Hey, Vendus!" Vendus turned to her. "Huh?" "Good luck," Lady said, waving at him. "Thanks," Vendus said. He then walked away.

 Lady turned back to them. "See? No griefing. Just casual greeting. I promise I won't bite."

 "Just please Lady, don't start anything," Martin said. "And wait here. After the Tournament, we need a serious talk."

 "I'll be here, waiting," Lady said, nodding. "Go on. Enjoy yourselves!"

 "Ok," TomBoy said. She felt creep out. It wasn't usual for Lady to be acting like this. Not with the fact that she was a griefer and that was all OK with Notch possibly finding her and she wasn't going to grief. Something felt wrong....

 "Do you think we should tell the others?" Martin asked.

 TomBoy shook her head. "I don't think so. Too dangerous. We might be yelling off at each other. There's too many ears around here too. We don't want anyone snooping in our business. Hey, did you see something in Lady's eyes."

 "What about them? They looked fine...."

 "They were...an interesting blue."

 "Skin change?"

 "They remind me of....though it's a little..."

 Martin gasped. "You think..."

 "Then we're in more trouble that I suppose," TomBoy said. "If it's possible, then it could explain everything. Still, it doesn't make any sense. It makes sense for Lady's haunting memories but why would..."

 "It'll make sense when we go back to her now," Martin said, running back to where they met Lady. When they got there, they knew they shouldn't be keen on her word. Lady was gone...


 Lady smiled. She felt so proud. Nobody recognized her. What a fool Notch was. He didn't telly anyone to be on the look out for a griefer. It would cause chaos. Better to be hush than worry.

 She looked down at the small TNT block she held in her hands. "And...go!" Jeb roared, waving the flag off for the Players to begin crafting their work.

 "This is so awesome!" someone yelled beside her. Lady turned to the person. "Having fun?"
 
 "Yeah," the person squealed. "It's so awesome!"

 "Well, it'll be great. What's your name?"

 "Leluochu-san! Call me Leuochu!"

 "Nice to meet you. Well, I'm off now. Gotta go look for my friend."

 "What's with the TNT?" Leuochu asked. Crap....

 "Well, after the Tournament, Notch takes pictures of the monuments and we have to take them down. You see, sometimes the monuments are too much and we always want to make room for others..." Lady squirmed. Crap...

 "That's cool," Lelo said. "Yeah, it'll probably crash the server. Well, see you around."

 "See ya," Lady said. She then went up to Vendus. Vendus turned to her. "Hi, Lady. I'm kind of busy working on my butter stache so can you.."

 "You're gonna need this," Lady said, softly placing the TNT next to a butter block.

 "Hey, what are you doing?" Vendus asked, confused.

 "Ka-Boom," Lady said. She reached down to flip the switch. "Wait, don't...."

 "Hold it right there!"
