Cyrus' POV
It's been a while, a month… maybe, since I witnessed the destruction of my home, the murder of my family and lead the kids that survived into the wilderness. My basic survival knowledge has kept us alive this long but I don't how long we'll hold out without help.
You see, I, just like the most of the other guys and girls sleeping around me, am not normal. Most of us are hybrids. Every one of us is the spawn of a mob and an array of Minecraftians. My mom, Kate, was always very secretive about her heritage but she had beautiful dark chocolate skin. Her hair was a deep crimson with a purple streak running through the sides. Her eyes were always her most wonderful feature as they were budder colored with plum purple flex around the pupils. I get my budder colored eyes from my dad. Where my moms were more brass in coloration, mine are (no pun intended) the color of blaze rods but I have the purple flex just like my mom. My hair is naturally spiky and resembles a block of netherrack except for the last three inches which are golden/bronze.
I, in my own right, am half Blaze on my dad's side. That has its ups and downs to it. Yes I have the power to create fire and control it, well the fire I create anyway, and I can fly but also have a fires temper. If I'm not careful and get hot headed my hair literally bursts into flames.
Enough about me though. There are about six other hybrids scattered around me on the ground along with three ….well, I'm not sure you could call them normal mortals but they aren't hybrids like the rest of us. Oh yeah, and one Bacca, but he's up in the tree above us "keeping watch" or in other words sleeping with his eyes open.
Of the Hybrids there is Carly who is half creeper, and Skylar the half skeleton. Those are the only girl hybrids, but along with them there is the sisters Megan and Terra. Then there is Brady the half zombie, me, Shane who is actually one third cave spider and one third normal spider (confused? So are the rest of us.) The too-cool-for-you, Mr. mysterious, Blake the half Enderman, and the….. mmm. What do you call the spawn of a human and a werewolf? Well, anyway, Wolfgang is his nickname and no one knows his real name. Besides them, there is the real mystery man, Shadow. No one knows a whole lot about him except that he doesn't have any powers or special parents. (To our knowledge.) The Bacca's name is Alex but he insists on being called Clash.
I just hope I can fulfill my mom's last wish to lead my friends to safety. She said that some old friends of hers lived about four and a half to five hundred blocks north. Only problem with that was that there was a mountain between us and our destination. I hope I can keep us all alive that long though.
Just them I heard a deep moan coming from the bushes to my left.
