I AM COME! nah but seriously, I apologize to anyone who would have liked to see this story come back, I lost my note book for it, and when I found it I wanted to delete this story and throw it away, BUT I RECIEVED A VERY INSPIRATIONAL REVIEW! so this story will now continue!
NOW without further ado, I BRING YOU THE NEXT CHAPTER OF LILIAN AND STEVE!
Her voice was beautiful, the most calming and gentle sound he'd ever heard. He finally had that feeling of companionship, that feeling that told him he wasn't alone anymore. "Ah, good, it works!" he sighed. "You didn't answer me! And what do you mean, 'It works'? Was there a chance it wouldn't?" Her tone easily showed she was irritated at being ignored. "AH! Yes, well, regarding your inquiry on the device... I don't THINK it would malfunction." he said with a nervous smile. "But, regarding my name that is, I am STEVE!" He proclaimed his name, as if it existed only in legend and fables. He turned again and picked up his sword and mask.
The fear that had been ebbed soon rushed back into her. "Y-you aren't going to k-kill me... are you?" Worry shattered her voice like a hammer. Yet again Steve turned, sword in hand. In reflex, she jumped and backed up, until she couldn't anymore. His face twisted into a combination of surprise and sympathy, as he put his sword away. "Of course not. Why would I? You're the first person I have had the chance to talk to when I got here! Why would I give up this company?"
At this comment she felt herself blush. A loud yawn brought her back to reality. "Jeez, I am beat! It has definitely been one hell of a day. I'm unfamiliar of creeper sleeping patterns, let alone if they sleep at all, but either way I'm going to sleep." Steve flopped down on his bed, completely spent and crawled under the covers. "At this point, I guess all I ask is that you don't kill me in the night. You're free to do whatever, I don't mind, but the killing me thing is just a preference of mine." he finished his joke with a tired chuckle. Lilian stared at him with confusion. "R-really?" she stuttered, still in the corner. He turned in the bed until he faced her. "Sure. I mean, I don't own you or anything... your decisions are your own. You can go out and play with your creeper friends if you want or... whatever it is creepers... do."
She stared on in utter disbelief. A wave of sadness returned to her and she slumped down into the corner. "I can't..." Steve sat up at this. "Why not? Does the pressure plate not work?" She chuckled lightly and turned her gaze at the wooden floor. "No. No its nothing like that... You see... I was abandoned by the creepers, outcast and left for dead..." her voice trailed off as she finished. "What!? Why?" His voice harbored anger for her past. She sighed and continued, "Because, when I was born, I didn't have the gunpowder necessary for Implosion. When they found out, I was deemed useless and they abandoned me." Her voice cracked and tears welled in her hollow eyes.
She was caught wholly off guard when Steve wrapped her into a hug. "I'm sorry. All I can offer you is this place and a friend. I mean, either of us, where can we go? We're one and the same you and I. All alone now... with no way to bring back our pasts..." his voice trailed off and her tears began to fall. "But now that we met, we might as well look out for each other!" His voice suddenly filled with cheer and compassion. Lilian's tears were flowing freely now. "Steve I... I don't know what to say anymore... I've just been so alone." She pushed her face into his shirt and cried harder, "But now I have a friend! Now I have someone here fore me! This... this is what it feels like..." She pushed out of the hug and turned to the door. "wait, where are you going? I thought you said creepers didn't like you." She turned and said with a smile, "They may not like me, but they can suck it up! I'm nocturnal anyway Steve. Besides, I wanted to do something to make it up for you!" steve held a blank stare for a minute before shrugging and saying, "Have fun with that nocty, I am going to sleep."
*KA-CHUNK*
'a new home huh...' she chuckled morosely 'new home, HA! This is my first home!' Each step Lilian made was lighter than the last and soon she found herself skipping along in the dark. She found herself at her destination in a matter of a few minutes; The lake about a mile a ways away from Steve's house.
Lilian dipped one of her four feet into the cool water, sending shivers up her back. 'Ohhhh... that woke me up nicely...' finally letting her body relax, she slipped slowly into the lake. The moon was full and bright, shining down, brightly reflecting on the water's surface. She floated weightlessly across the water, letting her mind drift with her. Almost in a trance, she turned her head, catching a glimpse of what looked like a small pocket of trees.
Without care she waded out of to the edge the lake, and climbed out. Walking toward the thicket with slow steps, she was able to make out the visage of a rose in front of a cracked fountain. Looking around she realized just how close she was, standing right over the flower. She could make out the faint smell of rose leaves, and the slow dribbling of water running through the cracks from an unknown source. With a sudden air shifting presence and a notable sound, a dark matter began to bring pressure to the air around her. She looked up, and in the darkness only made out a pair of piercing purple eyes. Fear breaking her out of her trance, she bolted out of the thicket and back to Steve's house without a second thought or a second glance.
'Endermen are not on my list of things to deal with right now' she thought as she panted lightly. 'Well, I think its about time I get to work on repaying Steve!'
*the next morning*
Steve shifted in his bed, finally opening his eyes as the light shown down on him. Rubbing his eyes, he groggily sat up and let out a tired yawn. Suddenly something out of the corner of his eye shifted, and he looked dead at it. To his shock, he saw a creeper standing there, staring at him. "AAAAAAAHHHH!" He screamed and started to cry, "Please make my death quick and easy!" The creeper in turn proceeded to giggle a little. Upon recognition of the voice he started to fume, yelling, "Lilian! What the hell!?" He reached over to his chest for a golden object and stared at it for all of 10 seconds before adding, "Its four in the freaking morning!" The giggling turned into raucous laughter now. "Stop! St-stop, your killing me!" She cried between gasps. "come on Steve, get up! I gotta show you something! It-its outside, so you might wanna get dressed." She said blushing and looking to the side. He himself looked down and saw that he was still in his boxers.
About 20 minutes later, Steve walked out, wearing a leather chest plate and a leather cap. Lilian was leaning up against one of the walls, mumbling to herself and staring at the grass, when she saw him. "What took you so- ho ho whoa, what's with the getup?" she chuckled. "Mock me if you will, but you can't deny me that every creature on this island wants me dead." at this point she shrugged, and replied, "Fair's fair I suppose. Now come to the back of the house and see what I made!" Excitement was clear I her voice. Ideas of what she could have done swam through his head.
He followed her behind his house and gaped in awe. The once empty space had been turned into a growing farm. "how did- but- what?" Lilian giggled at his stammering, and said, "Your parents must be so proud of your vocabulary." he still looked puzzled. "how did you do this? You don't have... I mean- hands..." At this she gave a huff and said, "Well the small claws on my feet allow me to till the soil and I can easily move the seeds around with them as well." He still looked confused. "But what about the wa-" "I was getting to that Mr. Impatient!" She interrupted. He chuckled lightly and scratched the back of his head. "Creepers' organs are very small, so the majority of our bodies are hollow. So I carried the water from the lake over there," she nodded toward the lake. "I just thought that I might be able to find a way to repay you for taking me in."
Steve gave her a look of disbelief before saying, "You didn't have to do this, but a farm will make life so much easier! thanks Lilian." She smiled in return and walked back into the house, tossing over her shoulder, "I think I'm gonna like it here!" Steve stared at the farm for an extra minute. "I think I am too."
So this story took a lot longer to get out than I think anyone expected it to. In fact I don't even remember what song gave me the idea for this song. But I do hope that those who read it will find it a good second chapter! the third chapter is not in the notebook I found, but I do know where I wanted to go with the story after this chapter (I think...) I do not have an ETA about when the next chapter will come out, but I do plan on continuing this story! so much that I even have the first three chapters of the third part of this story written XD THANK YOU ALL so MUCH for reading if you did. If you have any constructive criticism or and ideas please by all means leave a review and I will give them thought about how they might conflict with the story. But right now this is Beem0b0t signing out. Peace out.
