Well everyone, say hello to chapter 4! This one introduces the last main character, so be excited!
They had finally gotten out of the black grass and tree stumps that were once a lush, green forest. It had been some time after Mr. Fire-Starter had burnt the forest to a crisp. It wasn't his fault, thought the hooded figure; I would have thrown fireballs at the guy too, if I could have... Before Flame-Flame had burnt the forest, the hooded figure had been glad to hear the birds and the squirrels, and the...
"Hey, Mister... hood... guy... you stopped; something wrong?" said the fire mage.
"Huh? Oh, I was just remembering what the forest was BEFORE you burned it down, Mr. Flame-Man," said the hooded figure.
"For the last time, it's VAGE. By the way, I never got your name," said Vage.
"Oh, yeah, my name is..." the hooded figure put his hand on his chin, "Its, uhhh... I can't remember... Why can't I remember my own name!?"
"Maybe you have amnesia," said Vage, "How about I call you Hood?"
"I guess it's better that nothing," said Hood.
"Well then, Hood, let's get going," said Vage, "I think the Endermen think we're dead, so we might be able to catch them by surprise."
So those things are called Endermen, huh? Hood thought.
After many hours of walking, Vage and Hood had ended up In the middle of a grassy plain, and it was near midnight. Vage and Hood then decided to rest for the night. When they had each eaten, they started to get ready to go to sleep. Vage had trouble getting to sleep, being use to a bed. Hood, however, fell asleep almost instantly, being on soft dirt, instead of a hard, damp floor.
During the time Vage was trying to get to sleep, only about a tenth of a mile away, there were five of the Endermen.
"Yeah, so apparently, master found out that the first prisoner, the one with the hood, escaped, so he down-graded me to patrol instead of guarding the prisoners," said one of them as they walked in the direction of Vage and Hood.
"Why?" said another.
"Because APPARENTLY, I'm responsible for not allowing myself to just teleport in the cell and give him his food and water like that!" yelled the first one. "But, he found him, along with a mage who escaped the town. He ended up tricking the mage into burning the forest. Ha! How stupid can humans get?" All of them laughed for a minute until one stopped.
"Shhhhh... Guys, you hear that?" he asked. Very faintly, they could all hear a sort of snoring sound. "Humans!" exclaimed the one who heard the sound. "Let's capture them, master might give us a reward for finding them!" he said.
"Good plan," said one of them.
Suddenly, they were gone with a flash of purple sparks.
"Hood," Vage whispered, "Hood, wake up!"
"Uhhhh, five more minutes..." said Hood
"I don't think we're alone..." Vage said
"Thgir ruoy," said a voice behind them. Right after, long black arms extended and grabbed the necks of Hood and Vage, lifting them up off the ground.
"These look exactly like master described the humans he 'killed!'" said the Enderman holding them, "How should I kill them?"
"Because master said he killed them, we should bring them to him, alive." said the Enderman who had guarded the hooded man.
Won't master be surprised when he finds out he DIDN'T kill the humans! Ha! Thought the Enderman who was holding them by the neck.
He didn't have much time to think. For three seconds later he collapsed on the ground, with and arrow in the back of his neck.
Vage didn't really know what happened. All he knew was he was suddenly released by the Enderman holding him suddenly collapsed, and he only had a small amount of time before the others went after him. He quickly ran in the direction the arrow came, and found a person with a light gray bandana around his mouth, neck and face, so only his eyes showed. He also had Blue eyes, and was holding an enchanted bow, presumably how he was able to shoot the Enderman without them teleporting away.
"Who are you?" Vage said as the man put down his bow.
"Mepi," said the man, "Mepi Colrd."
"I'm Vage."
Suddenly, Vage looked back and saw the remaining four creatures attacking Hood. He didn't know whether to run away, or call out for him. But by then, it was too late; the creatures had teleported, surrounding them.
"So," said Mepi as he armed his bow, "Common enemy?"
Vage nodded, "Team?"
"Got no other choice, do I?" said Mepi.
As the last Word came out of his mouth, the Endermen lunged; with their mouths open so large it made their head look expanded by half.
Hood didn't know what had happened. All he knew was that he was collapsed is a pool of his own blood. So this is it... this is where I die... he thought. He was fine with dying now; he just felt there was something more he needed to do. Well, I'll never find out, will I? He thought. And with that, he lost consciousness.
Well guys, there is numero 4! I really like Mepi's character in later chapters, he's sorta like that some who isn't that bright all the time, but can be at times. Well, hope you like this chapter! C YA!
P.S. Sorry this isn't as long as the other ones, it's short about 200 words or so. D: I'll try and fix that with later chapters.
