Carol ran over to Steve and felt his wrist for hope of any sign of life. There was no sign of life. Carol ran up to Herobrine and punched him as hard as she could.
She wailed “Respawn him! I’ll do anything including sacrifice myself”
Herobrine thought about it and said “Yes. Are you sure you want to die for Steve? You can pick him or Alex to save. Choose carefully now.”
Carol thought about it for a year before finally deciding.
She said “Steve” cautiously.
Herobrine respawned Steve and Steve asked “Did I win?”
Carol ran up to him and said “Steve, I had to sacrifice myself to him to bring you back. By the way I’m going to die so can you make my last few moments on earth happy ones?”
Steve said “So, I lost? Was it an epic defeat or just a defeat?”
“Just a defeat. By the way Alex will never be respawned. I’m sorry. I have to go now!”
Steve hugged Carol until she died.
When she died, he asked “How do we get out?”
Herobrine laughed “We?! You’re the only one still alive here other than me!”
“I want them to stay in my house forever. Sure it will smell disgusting but at least I’ll still have them! Also they would’ve wanted that”
“Fine.” he snapped and a stairway appeared. Steve picked up his two dead girlfriends and carried them upstairs and out of the lair and to his car. On the way home, he accidentally stopped in his desert village and one of the villagers said “Oh. We thought your first visit in your countdown would’ve been sooner! Anyway you only have two hours!”
Steve said “Please, my girlfriends both recently died at the hands of Herobrine.”
All the villagers said “Yeah right. Where’s the proof?”
Steve pulled out Alex and Carol and all the villagers inspected them and said “Okay fine! This visit doesn’t count!”
Steve put them back in the car and said “Actually… I’m never returning here. I’m spending the rest of my life in my taiga village to make sure nobody steals them. Send me the loot. You know the address. Also send all the decor as well. I promise to pay you all back.”
“No thanks. You have to take it all back yourself”
Steve sighed and said “Fine”
