Forge, slumped into his computer chair, tired from the lengthy last day of school, sitting through the valedictorians that were two classes his senior talk on and on about how thankful they were for this honor, when most people just wanted to go home.
But now, school was finally over, and forge can sit in his chair in his room for the next too weeks, playing mine raft, why? Why not... he put on his head phones to drown out the noise of his family, three brothers and a sister, his parents were out of town and with his sisters help he was supposed to watch them, not that they needed watching they could cook better than most three star chefs.
He was about to start up a new world, since one of his brothers broke my last one by setting his spawn bed under hovering lava using signs and he could never get out of the lava before dying, when an update notice appeared on the new 1.6 launcher, which was weird, the last one was just a few days ago.
He shrugged and hit the entire 'yes's' and 'I agrees' necessary for the update, and just as it finished, the screen went black. He was confused for a moment, but then yelled down stairs when nothing happened "Did the power go out or something? My computer stopped working." He quickly took his head set off while saying this, trying to hear whoever started to yell back.
"If the powers out," came a reply from Sandra, his sister "Then the TV must not be working very well right now." Dripping with sarcasm and not in the least bit willing to help… that's her alright.
For a moment, Forge seriously considered having a shouting match with her through the house, but the neighbors would probably file a noise complaint for the third time this month.
He made a small groan and put his headphones back on, turning to the computer screen to push he power button to turn it back on, if that didn't work he would-
The screen wasn't black any more; it was a mine craft game already opened up. Creepy…. But Forge loved horror games, so he couldn't stop him self from taking a look around the world that forced itself into existence on his computer.
He mumbled to him self "This is a terrible idea… probably the worst idea I've ever had." But, he put his hands on the keyboard and mouse any ways, and looked around to see where this creepy pasta put him.
It only took a second for him to know he was on the extreme hills biome, and at the top of a very large mountain at that. "What do you think, human?" a voice was coming from the game, Forge expected weird, but this was a bit more than unexpected. He or rather, his avatar whirled around to face… the back of another player, it was using the standard skin, or from this angle it looked like it was at least. "Do you enjoy this world, this, Minecraft as you so call it?" Forge cringed at what he knew, or at least, thought was coming, and thought about running, or just leaving the game, but some part of him was curious about what would happen next, after all its not everyday… Herobrine talks to you.
He typed in the chat "I didn't think you were real, and yes, I think this is a fun game."
"I commend you for figuring out who I am so quickly, and this, 'game' as you call it, is a cheap rendition of another world." He turned around and faced me, staring with pitch white eyes. "This world is a weakened version of the true one, my brother Notch's side of the coin." He started walking closer his appearance seemed to change, Forge couldn't quite put his finger on it, but with each step closer he looked different.
Forge quickly typed in "So you're saying there is an endless world, fill of blocky terrain and similarly blocky mobs ruling it?" After typing that in, he quickly backed his avatar up to the edge of the mountain, as he got farther away Herobrine features changed back to normal as he got farther away, but soon with no more room to back up, it started changing again as Herobrine walked ever closer.
He smiled a vicious and cold smile. "I see the barrier between the two worlds Notch built up are able to be broken," Herobrine was less than ten blocks away now, and Forge now knew just in what way he was changing. "Using Notch's own world altering 'updates' as he calls them, against himself,". No doubt about it now, he was five blocks away, and there was no mistaking it at this point. "He will probably notice what I did soon, and block me out." Herobrine was filling the whole screen, but not in the classic blocky way all mine crafters knew. "Now, Forge, as you call yourself here, you will die." He looked real, 100% real, HD graphics and real, human features.
His hand, a five fingered hand, not in the least blocky, shot up, and grabbed something just below the screen... his avatar's throat.
Forge laughed into the computer screen, at the bane of all people who play mine craft, there was nothing he could to- he felt a slight pressure on his own neck. Forge shot his hands up to his neck as the pressure increased, but felt nothing there. Oddly enough, he saw two Minecraft block style hands shoot up in front of the screen for a second. Those hands were starting to look less blocky now… with each second the pressure on his neck grew, and the hands became more, human looking. Shit.
Forge, trying his best not to panic, started smashing the mouse's left click button, trying to make his avatar punch him away. The Steve, with its half human half blocky hand, shot out to punch him, but it was stopped mid air by Herobrine's other hand.
"A fighter huh? Not one to give up easily? Good, I like a challenge" As he said that, Forge decided it might be time to panic if this last ditch effort didn't work. He used his left hand to hit the Esc key, and then tried to use his right hand to move the mouse to click on the save and exit button. He couldn't move his right hand; he felt the grip of Herobrine on it, crushing it, just like his wind pipe.
Trying to use his free hand, he shot it across the keyboard to use the mouse. Before it even left the Esc button, the menu was gone, along with the health indicators and hunger bar. But, desperate as he was, he only made his hand move towards the mouse even faster, but, in stead of hitting the mouse, he hit Herobrine in the side… hard.
A slight grunt of surprise, but not pain, came from Herobrine. He looked shocked for a moment, but then his grin grew even wider than before. "Oh yes, you will be a very strong one in the other world indeed, maybe strong as notch himself." He turned and held me over the edge as I punched him again, this time in the head. He wasn't surprised that time. "You have good instincts that will be your greatest tool, let's just see if you have what it takes to beat me, Isaac." How the hell did he know my real name? AND WHY CAN I FEEL MY SELF PUNCHING HEROBRINE?
Herobrine let go of my throat, and grabbed my free arm, swinging me over his back, and throwing me straight down the mountain… then, I hit the ground. As the world went black, and the dark tunnel with light at the end closed, He heard "Come find me human, kill me by any means necessary, and maybe then you will get out…"
