Midnight's POV
Annabelle was acting very strangely. She was starting to worry me when suddenly her eyes, which I had just noticed were distant,
focused again. That telltale blush tinting her face a deep crimson. She seemed to have realized that she was acting unusual.
"Sorry," she said while backing away after releasing me from the hug. I realised that my face felt hot... I was blushing! "It's fine,"
I managed to say in a surprisingly stable voice. "Hey Midnight?" Annabelle asked. "Yeah?"
"...Why do Enderman...you know, attack people when they look at them?"
I paused. How was I supposed to tell her? All of a sudden, just when I opened my mouth to speak 4 loud bangs were heard. Annabelle's
wall collapsed and a band of mobs came charging in. My eyes grew wide as I noticed my Ex-Best friend, Sear.
I jumped infront of Annabelle without a second thought. "Sear, What do you want. I have left the Enderman colony like you told me to.
I have done nothing to provoke this attack, so leave now, you are not welcome."
Sear simply lunged at me, her claws scraping my skin. She reached for me again and I was about to dodge when I realized she was
reaching for Annabelle!
A sudden surge of strength found me, and my mind cleared of everything exept for two words.
Protect. Her.
"Sear, if you want to live, go home. Now!" I yelled the last part, hoping to make my intents clear.
Annaelle, being the nut she is decided to walk out from behind me. Apparently she had taken some crazy pills, because she walked up to
a Skeleton and, fortunately dodging the arrows, slapped him! I heard her whistle to someone. I had to keep hy eyes glued to Sear.
"Midnight, you little Bastard! I should've known you would have broken the laws of Derina! Clearly you HAVE done EVERYTHING to provoke
this attack!" Sear growled. Her voice held promises of malice and fire.
"Do you really expect me to beleive that white lie! I've never told you, but-" I was about to counter but Sear seemed to have
developed a talking problem. "Oh, Beleive me! It's not a lie! It's not like she would give you mercy! Your not her son!"
"Actually, That's what I was going to say before you RUDELY interuppted me. I AM her son!"
Sear's band of mobs were frozen when they heard that.
Then, one by one, they slowly bowed out of the room, leaving Sear alone. "What! Get back here!" She yelled, infuriated at the spot
she was in. I was releived to see Annabelle retreat behind me again.
"Grrrrr..." I hear.
I idiotically turned my head to see Mapleleaf running in. Big mistake. Sear Teleported right infront of me and grabbed my neck,
cutting off my air almost completely. I tried to get free and slash her, but she just held on tighter. She sliced her claws across my
chest, and it hurt like hell! She threw me to the ground, and my head hit a rock, causing me to loose conciousness.
Annabelle's POV
"Midnight!" I screamed. 'She...she...no. He can't be...' I thought. Ran over to Midnights body. The other Enderwoman appeared infront
of me. She grabbed me by my chin and snapped my head up. "Goodbye!" She laughed. That was it. I jumped at her. Suddenly I felt a sharp
stab in my chest.
I woke up with a throbbing pain in my chest, my vision was still blurry, but I could make out a bloody patch nearby. I
recognised that as the spot Midnight had fallen. That's when it it hit me. Where was Midnight!? "Midnight!" I yelped. No answer.
"MIDNIGHT!" I hollared again. Suddenly I heard a POOF and he teleported behind me. "Whats wrong? Are you okay!" He asked. "Now I
am..."
Midnight's POV
Annabelle seemed to be acting strange, and she looked worried. "C'mon, tell me what was wrong?" I probed. "I saw the blood..you
weren't there...I thought she had taken you..." Annabelle huffed quietly. "Oh.." I didn't know how to reply, so I just gave her a
hug. "Sorry I scared you like that.." "I wasn't scared!" She insisted, before sighing. "...Okay..Maybe.." Annabelle confessed. "But I
wasn't scared about myself though!" The previous stubbornness started showing again, but with an added blush.
"Are you okay? You seem hot-" I stopped when I processed what I said, and quickly stumbled over words like a set of uneven stairs as I looked for the correct ones. "I- Uh. I didn't mean it like that I- Meant as in you look flustered."
Annabelle simply shook her head to clear it of her thoughts. "Yeah..What I'm trying to say is that I was scared for you..." The words tumbled out of her mouth and ended in a squeak. I could feel my face heat up. "W-well..." I was at a loss of words.
"Ahah...I'm sorry." She mumbled into her shirt.
"About what?"
"I- uh...nothing,"
