Lesson learned- Never play Sims 3 and buy something in the game before saving the game abnd your story, or you'll lose all progress. So mad now -.-
Sleepless nights had changed to full nights of rest since Armen was saved. Drake's worry for his best friend still lingered in his mind, but it was long since pushed aside, knowing that he was back home, with Grayson and him. He'd be fine.
They had decided to let the girl stay with them for the time being. Her name was Amethyst, and she wasn't originally from their world. She told them about a land where hybrids were a very common sight. Where three huge armies ruled, no smaller groups daring to defy them. Where humanized squids ruled one of the armies. Endermen hybrids, like Drake, and Ender Dragon hybrids made up another.
Amethyst's army was a mix of hybrids and humans. She claimed to be one of the human recruits, but Drake nor Grayson ws sure of that due to her eyes, which looked very inhuman to them. They were actually rather creepy. They always seemed blank and expressionless, so you could almost never tell her emotions. Very weird.
It was late the next morning, three days since Amethyst arrived, when Drake awoke to quiet voices that weren't quiet enough for him to sleep through. Jerks. He smiled anyways, knowing that the voices belonged to Amethyst and Grayson. The two had become quite close, which was good for both of them.
He rolled over onto his side, closing his eyes once more. he actually felt...at peace for once in a long time. It was nice. He managed to sleep in for another 15 or so minutes before getting up.
He went to Armen's temporary room, where he was sleeping peacefully, unaware to everything that was happening around him. His stab would had been infected, like Grayson had predicted, but it was getting better. He sighed. " You need to wake up soon, buddy. " He murmured, even though he knew his younger friend wouldn't be able to hear him.
Leaving the room, he headed over to the table, where Grayson and Amethyst were sitting. They were still talking, not having taken notice of the ender hybrid yet. Zayliee, the wolf that arrived with Amethyst, barked when she saw Drake. Both minecraftians looked up, takign notice of him. Grayson smiled. " Morning, Drake. Sleep Well? " he asked. Drake nodded and sat down, Grayson throwing an apple at him. He caught it effortlessly wityh one hand, takign a bite from it. " How's Armen doing? " The blonde asked, knowing Drake would check up on him every morning. " Now awake yet. but it looks like the infection is fading. " Grayson nodded slightly, takign a drink from his glass. " That's good. " he murmured.
The three of them talked for a little while until grayson had to go and work some more healing magic on Armen. Drake and Amethyst stayed quiet, not wanting to cause Grayson to mess up and hurt himself or Armen.
" So...I'm still not following the whole ' Human squid ' and army thing...mind explaining it more?" He asked the brunette, breaking the very awkward silence. She nodded. " Alright. What do you want to know more about? " " Everything. "
She nodded again before talking. " So, in my home, there are three armies; the Sky Army, which is the army I lived in, The Squid Army, obviously home to the humaized squids, and the Shadow Army, home to the ender hybrids. I just call them the Triple SA for short, though. The Sky Army and Squid Army have hated each other from the start. it's believed that the squids were the killers of the Sky Army's king, Sky, but both him and his sister refuse to talk about that time. I'm not for sure what turned the squids human; I was 15 or so when i joined the army, but I'm thinking it was a potion or magic mistake; also known as Seto screwed up somewhere. " he laughed. " Who's Seto? " " friend of mine. He's the Sky Army's sorcerer. He would end up doing something like that. " She todl him, shrugging. " But I don't really know. "
" Wo- " he was cut off as he heard a thump and a muffled ' ow ' from the room Armen and Grayson were in. Both of them laughed. " Grayson... " they said at the same time.
The two of them continued chatting between drinks or bites of food, laughing every once and a while. Amethyst was in the middle of another explanation when she stopped suddenly. Creakign slightly, the door to Armen's room opened. Grayson stepped out, smiling. He was followed by...Armen? "
" Armen! " Drake cried when he saw him. He leaped up, runiing over and hugging him. The cyan-eyed boy squeaked. " Oww...too tight...hurting my chest, dude... " he hissed. Drake loosened his grip some, sliming at his younger freidn in slight embarrasment. " Uhh..sorry. " Armen smiled and rested his head on Drake's shoulder. " It's fine. "
Both just stood there, Drake's arms wrapped around Armen, his hands resting on his back, Armen standing the same way the ender hybrid was. His eyes were closed, and he was still smiling.
Amethyst walked over, taking another long drink from her glass. Grayson laughed. " Think you've had enough to drink, Amethyst? " he asked her jokingly. She rolled her eyes, smirking. " Yeah, Grayson, because I can soo get drunk off of hot chocolate. " " You know, someone could probably do that." Grayson replied. Drake chuckled quietly.
Armen opened his eyes and moved his head so he could see where the female voice was coming from. " Who're you? " He asked her. " Amethyst. Not from this world; and the one who saved your butt. " She informed him. Armen glanced up at Drake. " Uhm... " " Just accept it. She lives around human squids. Who knows if she's sane or not. "
" I am too sane! " The brunette protested. " Sort of.. " She added, sipping her drink.
Zayliee suddenly started barking and howling loudly. " Zayliee! Hush! " Amethyst snapped. The wolf continued making a racket, eyes on the door. Amethyst rolled her eyes and walked to the door, opening it. Her face paled slightly, but she recovered before the boys noticed anything and closed the door. " See? Nothing there. " She said, speaking a little too quickly. She put her glass down, feeling her heart pounding wildly in her chest. " I...need to do something. " She mumbled, running to her room and slamming the door. The boys stared after her, confused. " Yeah...totally sane... " Armen mumbled.
The brunette sunk to the floor, leaning against her door. She was grasping her diamond sword tightly in her hand, the one she kept hidden under her bed so the boys wouldn't see. Amethyst bit her lip to hold back the tears threating to fall. She inhaled sharply as her hhands began glowing orange. " Not now...not today... " she whispered. The sword began to glow as well, which was normal; but she didn't want it to glow like it was. She squeezed her eyes shut. " Don't let them see you liek this, Amethyst...Don't feel the fire within you...If you make one mistake, they'll all know about Him... " she told herself. She opened her eyes again. Both glowing; One white and one yellow. " Keep your past hidden, Amethyst Brine. "
She fell asleep against the door, the sword sliding from her hand and clattering softly to the floor. It slowly faded back to it's normal blue color and remained that way for the rest of the night.
Amethyst is the new Elsa XD Jk, jk. Anyways, what she saw outside will be explained in the next chapter. I'm really excited to start writing it. This chapter wasn't the best, but ehh. At least you guys have something to read from me.
Keep on mining, my mineshafters
