The Story of creepertribute

The day of yet another child's birth, Caitlin felt weary and passed out. Steve was gone mining for glowstone in the Nether. Melissa crept in, hissed, and swiped the tender infant from his cradle. Meanwhile, Caitlin had a disturbing vision. Creepertribute lay on a sacrifice stone and the multitude of creepers chanted, "Sacrifice! Sacrifice!" A mutant creeper, apparently the high priest, said, "Cupa, goddess of TNT and griefing, accept this offering of Steve and Caitlin's son!"A double-edged diamond sword came down in a swift motion.

"No!" cried Caitlin. She woke with a start, as she shook with fear. Her heart raced
"Are you okay?" asked Steve, his voice full of concern.
"I had a nightmare about creepers sacrificing our son to Melissa."
"I'm sure he's sleeping the sleep of the unconcerned," said Steve. When he discovered that their boy was not in his cradle, they searched everywhere. When they returned home, Caitlin received a note from Melissa.

Caitlin,

I am holding your unnamed child for ransom in the Nether. If you don't let me make the sacrifice, I will take Steve away from you forever. If you choose to let the creepers make the sacrifice, Steve is safe. If you do not make a choice within 14 days, my high priest will sacrifice both of them. 

Make your choice,
Melissa

When Steve saw the ransom note, he urged that Caitlin came with him to the nether.

"Silena hates me, Steve," Caitlin protested.
"We're not dealing with her," Steve promised.
"She'll probably throw fire balls at me. After all, it is her territory."

As they stepped through the portal, Melissa sat on a TNT throne. Her red eyes had an angry glow. A mutant creeper held their marriage license and threatened to toss it in the lava. Caitlin fidgeted uncomfortably. Steve screamed a war cry and struck the mutant creeper down.  Creepers cornered Steve and he knew he could not fight them. He caught a glimpse of an arrow. 

"Fie on you, Melissa! If anyone deserves Steve, it is not you!"
"Go away, terrible green things!"
"Begone, unholy beasts!"

"Caitlin?" Steve was bewildered. Piles of sulfur lay all around him.
"I always pack an enchanted bow with me."

Just as they got to the portal, Steve asked about the child's name.
"I shall name him creepertribute because he was nearly a sacrifice to the creepers."
