So yeah, here it is! My sequel to Pama's Not Done! I highly suggest reading 'story 1': Pama's Not Done. If you really don't want to... this might be OK as a stand alone... just know that I have an OC in here from my last story. I really hope you all enjoy! Thank you so much to everyone who supported me! About 1,000 views on P.N.D? That's, like, crazy for me! It might not seem like a lot to all of you but to a beginner like me... it means so much! Thanks Everyone! BTW: Some people wanted me to deliver Jetra... well, romance is not a category I thrive in but I try to make small hints for you guys. Anyway, enough of this stupid author's note that all of you are quickly skimming through anyway so you can just read the story... I give you Behind The Dream...
Jesse strolled down the main street in his town and smell the sweet air. It was so good to be home. He still enjoyed his life thrilling adventures he had back in the hallway of portals. Three days ago Jesse, Petra, Lukas, Ivor, Harper, and Astrid finally walked through the portal that led home. All the townspeople thought they got back from another journey that involved saving another world, but the truth was they were just trying to find their way home. They had a proper hero's welcome when they returned. The townspeople insisted on throwing a parade in their honor. Now Jesse walked down the street with Petra, Lukas, and Ivor behind him. People were lined up on either side of the road, cheering them on. At the end was a quartz stage with shiny quartz stairs leading up to it. When the four reached it, they looked down on the crowd and smiled and waved nervously.
"Should we tell them we were just lost?" Lukas whispered to the others while waving, "This all doesn't really feel right. We didn't do anything."
"I say let them enjoy it, let us enjoy it, after all everyone is happy." Ivor whispered back.
"Really? Is this the Ivor I know? I recall when the old Order of the Stone was getting their hero's celebration, you desperately wanted Jesse to tell everyone they were fakes." Petra rolled her eyes.
"Ok… good point… yes that is true… but we aren't fakes! We really defeated the Wither Strom, we really saved Sky City, we really stopped the White Pumpkin, and we really rescued Crown Mesa! So, honestly, we did do something! A lot of something!" Ivor retaliated.
"He's right." Jesse chimed in. "Just appreciate this moment! Knowing our luck, in a few days we'll be thrown into another adventure."
Petra nodded, "That's true."
"I hope not!" Lukas said, "but if we are, I hope it's an adventure here, at home." After a few minutes, Jesse stepped forward and everyone got quiet to listen to what he was going to say.
"Thank you all so much for everything! I'm sorry to cut this short but the Order has places to be and things to do! Very busy! Thank you all again!" Jesse waved and smiled one more time. Nobody complained, they left and went about their way.
"'Places to be and thing to do'? Really? You couldn't think of anything better to say?" Ivor said annoyed.
"Sorry, I just figured that we've been through a lot and we could use some time to ourselves?
"That's what we've been having for the last 2 ½ days, Jesse… but whatever you say."
The Order went around the town, looking at places and remembering things that happened before the whole portal incident. "It would be so nice to just have a normal day, one day! That's it! No adventures, no fans staring and cheering, just normal." Petra sighed.
"I thought you loved adventure and danger and that kind of thing." Jesse commented.
"I do, really. Don't get me wrong, I love being a part of the Order and it's a great honor… but is one day so much to ask for?"
Lukas nodded, "I feel you, Petra." As the four walked down a sidewalk, Ivor looked up at the sky, it was late evening.
"It's getting late; we should head back to the base. Harper and Astrid are waiting for us there." Ivor said. As they strode down the sidewalk, a female townsperson walked up the pavement. Between the opposite walkers was a dark and narrow alley. The lady tripped, falling into the backstreet. Jesse ran up to her.
"Are you ok?" He asked, extending his hand to help her up. She had a black, hooded cloak and she was on her hands and knees, this hid her face. The others were standing behind Jesse, looking at the woman.
"It's so nice of you to offer to help," the woman said, she was still on her hands and knees, her face continued to be hidden. Her voice was a little deep, quiet, and calm, yet it had an icy chill to it. She finally decided to stand up, her back facing them, "but I'm fine, thanks." She slowly and casually slid her hand into her pocket.
"Um…ok? I just wanted to make sure." Jesse scratch his head, confused. The women slightly turned her head half way. Her hood darkened most of her face, all the group could make out was from her mouth down. Her lips were slim and sly. They curved upward in a cunning smile.
"I was hoping you could help me with something, though." The stranger said in a way that made the gang feel a little uncomfortable. "Perhaps you could tell me what this is, one of you is supposed to be a master at potions, right?" The odd female pulled out a potion. It was white and murky. The liquid inside swirled. She finally turned and faced them, but she looked down to keep her face concealed.
"That would be me!" Ivor proudly stepped forward and looked at the peculiar brew. "May I?" Ivor held his hand out to hold the mixture.
"Why, but of course." The women's voice kept its mysterious sound. She held it out and Ivor went to grab it. Right before he could though, the shadowy lady dropped the concoction. "Oops. Clumsy me." She said all a little to fake. The potion leaked out of the shatter bottle and clouded up in the air, surrounding the Order. Everything became completely opaque.
"Petra? Lukas? Ivor?" Even though they were only a few feet away, Jesse couldn't see them.
"Jesse? I can't see a thing!" Lukas responded. Jesse tried to reply but he suddenly started becoming very tired. He tried to fight it, but he felt himself losing consciousness. A thump next to him told him that one of the others had completely lost consciousness. Jesse finally gave in and fell to onto the concrete.
This is my starter, my intro. As you can tell, I haven't really introduced you to the the plot and conflict of the story. I must admit, this gets kind of strange and I took the whole "This is Minecraft" and said "Nope! BYE!" And chucked it as hard as I could out the window... yet, I still bring in some (Unread by you yet) minecraft references so I honestly don't know what was wrong with me! As a story, I think this one turned out better than my last one but as a fanfic w/ minecraft... well... You guys be the judge. As you will find out (SPOILERS... jk, not really) I focus on Jesse, Petra, Ivor, and Lukas in this. By doing so, I limited myself to not really be able to expand on my OC, Astrid, and Harper as characters and their interaction with the four. I'm putting all of this junk that authors write about their opinion on the story at the end so it doesn't make you wait to read the story. OK! I THINK that's all I wanna say about this... THANKS! OK, I'm gonna go now...
