• 2016

One dark, eerie night, they were all alone. Holly and Sophie were all alone down their mine in a deep dark ravine. Holly looked up and saw a mineshaft. She tapped Sophie on the shoulder but...she actually tapped a zombie’s shoulder. She jumped in horror and silently got out her diamond sword and slayed the zombie.
Sophie was nowhere to be seen. As Holly looked up again, she spotted Red Skull. HE HAD SOPHIE TIED UP IN A CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was pulling her towards the darkest part of the mineshaft. Holly saw him and Sophie, so she quickly piled up some icky dirt and jumped up to the mineshaft. She started running for Sophie but...she suddenly stopped!!!
There were zombies, Mystique’s minions, hydra soldiers and RED SKULL with Sophie. Red Skull said, “You can have your precious friend back see if I care.” Holly said, “It’s not Sophie! I know my Sophie and that’s not her!” Holly punched them both, ran past them and found the real Sophie slowly lowering down into…LAVA. Holly said, “I’m here for you girl.” Sophie said, “Oh boy am I glad to see you.” Holly threw water on the lava, got Sophie down and ran up the mine, back home and never went back again.
