Back from the vacation, peoplez!

I'm really tired.

A group of Rhinos is called a crash.

Chapter Seven

Dirt Hut

Third-Person POV

Alexis was greeted with a tackle from Breezy and a hug or wave from everyone. Jesse gave a small hug, as well as Olivia. Axel intended for a small one, but instead almost suffocated the girl. Lukas waved.

"Oh, and Jesse?" Alexis said after taking in a large breath of air.

"Yeah?"

"Gabriel wanted me to give this to you." The girl said, pulling out the amulet.

"What's that?" asked Olivia.

"It's an amulet Gabriel gave me. He said we can use it to find and reassemble the Order."

"Wait." Axel walked closer to Alex. "The Order? As in, the Order of the Stone?"

"I'm not pulling your leg or anything. Gabriel gave this to me. He said if we take this to the temple of the Order, we can find where they are."

Jesse took the amulet. "Well, I guess we go out in the morning. Let's rest up and we can talk about it later." He said. Everyone went back to where they were before.

It was quiet now. Olivia, Jesse, Reuben, and Alexis sat near the fire. Breezy rested on her side with her belly exposed to the heat. Lukas put his back against the wall, away from everyone and looking at the ground.

"Oh, man!" said Axel. He was standing up and looking away from the others.

"What?" Olivia looked at him.

Alexis tilted her head slightly. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm going to tell you something, you have to promise not to freak out," Axel explained.

"What is it?" Jesse asked. Axel turned around.

"I have-"

"COOKIES!" Everyone looked at Alexis, all of them started but Breezy, who just kept lying down near the fire. Alexis, who's eyes actually looked like they had stars in them, blinked. "...What? How is everyone not stoked for cookies? They're cookies!"

There was a small moment of silence.

After recovering from... whatever they experienced, "One for me," Axel said, putting one in his pocket. "One for Olivia," Axel handed a cookie to Olivia. And then Jesse and Alex."One for Jesse. One for Alex."

Alex looked at the cookie in her hand and time seemed to stop. Wait. She thought. These aren't chocolate chips. THESE ARE RAISINS. Time resumed. She was about to put it in her pocket, but saw Lukas, with no cookie.

"And one for Reuben and Breezy."Axel dropped a cookie in front of Reuben, who picked it up as soon as Axel dropped it and brought it over to Breezy. The pig nudged the cookie next to her.

"Sorry, Lukas, I only have five," Axel explained to the Ocelot.

"Oh, no, it's- It's all right. I'm not that hungry anyway." Lukas said. Alex glanced down at the cookie in her hand, and then Lukas. She knew Jesse would give the cookie to him (That's what she did in her game) but she decided walked over to where Lukas was and put the cookie in front of him.

"Here, Lukas," said Alexis.

"Oh, no, no, I- I can't do that," Lukas stuttered. "I told you, I'm not hungry."

Alexis raised an eyebrow. "I didn't see you eat anything at Endercon. Besides, I don't like raisins." No, actually, I detest them, she added in her thoughts. Lukas looked at the ground. Alex gained an annoyed look and put the cookie back in his vision and started to shake it. "Come on, you know you want it."

Lukas gave in and took the cookie. "Heh, yeah, I do. Thanks." Lukas started eating the cookie.

Alexis smiled and walked back to her spot at the fire. Once she sat down, Jesse snapped his cookie in half, offering the bigger one to Alex. She shook her head, and reminded him about her opinion on raisins. Jesse took the piece back and ate them. Axel lowered the middle of his unibrow.

"That was for you, Alex. Not him." He said. Alexis glared at him a second.

More silence.

Olivia looked at everyone, and then her gaze landed on Alexis and Lukas. "If you had to, which would you rather fight: a hundred chicken-sized zombies or ten zombie-sized chickens?"

"Chose wisely," Jesse added.

Alexis smiled. "Ah, the age old question. I pick the giant cluckers. Chicken for days, man." Breezy let out a loud and long meow. She seems to agree.

Lukas chuckled. "Uh, that's a good one. let me think..."

"How can you guys joke at a time like this?' Axel asked, crossing his arms. "Petra is still out there. She's all by herself."

"Petra wouldn't mind at all," said Jesse. "She'd want us to keep our spirits up."

"If I were her, I'd... I dunno." Axel turned so his back faced the group. "It feels wrong."

"Fine then," said Lukas. He got up from sitting and begun to walk closer to the group around the fire. "We should get some rest. We gotta start looking for this temple as early as we can," he said. "Now my guess is that we start at the portal and kind of split up-"

"Whoa, what are you doing?" Axel turned back around with a frown plastered on his face.

"Did I do something to you?" Asked Lukas. "I'd really like to know. You keep getting on my case for what seems like no reason."

"We'll figure it out in the morning," said Jesse.

Lukas put his hands on his waist. "Maybe you're right. I'm pretty exhausted."

"Jesse means "us", not you." Axel put both his hands on his hips the same way Lukas did.

"Axel, we'll figure it out in the morning," Jesse repeated.

"You're the only one wearing that stupid jacket," said Axel. Lukas glanced at his jacket with wide eyes. "Don't tell us what to do."

Lukas looked up and glared at Axel, taking a step forward the larger male. "Take. That. Back."

"Can't. Wouldn't," Replied Axel.

"You know what? I get to wear this jacket because I know how to build. But that doesn't mean I don't know how to break things."

Axel, whose back was turned, moved his head around to glare at Lukas. "Your threats don't scare me, now that we know how you really are."

Alexis groaned. This is the fights between her childhood friends all over again. "Guys. We are all tired. So why don't we go to sleep, and deal with it in the morning? Deal?"

"Don't be like that, Alex-"

"DEAL?"

She was ignored. Axel turned back to Lukas and walked closer to him. "Haven't you done enough damage for one day?" Axel shoved Lukas. "Petra might be dead because of you."

"Axel, what the heck?!" Olivia said.

"I don't have to take this," Lukas glared at the person right in front of him. "Listen... why don't I just leave and let you guys hash this out," Lukas said, walking toward the entrance of the hut. Alex grabbed his shoulder.

"Oh, there is no way you are going out there," she said. Breezy walked in front of the blonde's feet, meowing.

"You can't leave," said Olivia. "It's dangerous out there."

"I can take care of myself," Lukas shook Alex's hand off his shoulder. "It's what Axel wants, right?"

"Let him leave if he wants to leave," Axel crossed his arms.

Jesse looked at everyone before answering. "You're not going anywhere."

"But Jesse..." Axel raised the middle of his brow, looking disappointed.

"That's enough. We're all on the same team now." Jesse glared at Axel. "He's staying."

They all took a moment before resuming their spots near the fire. Breezy hopped in Alexis lap. Lukas sat near the fire this time, and Axel was the only one left standing, glaring at the fire that was before him.

"Zombie-sized chickens." Lukas quietly said. "That's what I'd fight."

"Why's that?" asked Olivia.

"Because I'm starving."

The group heard thunder boom outside their hut and looked at the dirt ceiling. Rain pelted the blocks, making a semi-loud pitter patter noise. Lukas looked back down and looked at Jesse, Olivia, Alexis, and Breezy.

"Thanks for keeping me around, guys," he said. He looked grateful.

"Yeah," Jesse said, almost as quiet as Lukas.

Alex smiled. "No problemo."

OooOooO

Everyone was sleeping now.

The used each other's body heat to keep each other warm since the fire dwindled to smoke. They all huddled up to each other.

Alexis was awake, though. She would be one of the first few to sleep, but the monster noises outside kept her awake, not to mention the rain hitting the roof repeatedly, and the grueling pain in her foot. But she was also thinking. Like, where did Kyla go? She looked at everyone and saw they were sleeping, and spotted Lukas, who was awake. He was shivering. He wasn't with the group and sat against a cold wall.

Alex got a little idea. She whistled, not loud enough to wake up someone, but enough to get attention from those close. Once Lukas was looking at her, she pats the ground next to her. Lukas slowly made his way over, and Alexis shifted around trying not to wake up everybody.

That failed.

The shifting made her foot hit into Breezy's back and made her jump up. Her tail hit Axel' face, which made him move his face away, resulting in Reuben, who was sleeping on his back, fall off, squealing. Now everyone was awake.

Axel saw Lukas standing up. "Lukas?"

Lukas was about to say something, but Alex, who wanted to avoid more fights, spoke before his mouth opened. "I saw Lukas was cold against the wall, so I wanted to invite him over." She explained in a tired voice.

Axel mumbled something about why Alex even cares about him and Jesse mumbled something else to Axel, and Olivia nodded.

They all fell asleep, and Alexis didn't even wake up once. She didn't even wake up when the already asleep Lukas used her lap as a pillow.

Review Replies (Is it too late for this?)

J.M.M: Alexis is an OC and is nothing like me. I HATE jokes. I HATE cats. I HATE the colour purple. I LOVE raisins. And finally. I DISTEST MINECRAFT. Nothing like me! Nope! No sarcasm! Absolutely 0%!
