Cassandra POV
I laid on my bed, blankly staring up at the ceiling of my room. The base of my room was created from obsidian blocks, copying the build of Herobrine's castle. Thinking over my past, I remembered my father and Notch actually getting along at times. I used to hang out with a few of my rebel cousins, and we sometimes ransacked villages without our fathers' permission. There was only one girl, a daughter of Notch, who turned against my ideas. I ignored her for the most part, due to fact that she was weak unlike her siblings. They could all easily take me down except her.
I remembered my sister Ashley, and how we used to play with our dolls when we were younger. She and my other sister were the only other girls besides for me in the family. Through Ashley, I was reminded of my burning hatred for Sky.
Oh yeah, one other thing that I can do: communicate with the children of Notch telepathically.
So, I had a plan to get rid of Sky, which you already knew. But I knew at least one of Notch's kid were onto me. You guessed it: that one girl I mentioned earlier. I knew she was on her way to find me and my location of the Jewel of Notch so she could destroy the descendant herself. I had to get rid of her.
Although I had no clue where her location was, I figured I would initiate the first phase of my plan at that moment.
"Hello?" I thought, believing no one would reply, "Anyone there?"
An angry feminine voice popped through, "Cassie… what do you want?"
"First of all," I started, my voice growing in power, "Never call me Cassie. Again." I returned to my normally calm state and shook my head of those thoughts, "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to join me for dinner one night. You know, without Ashley around anymore…"
"No."
This quick response frightened me, "What…?!"
"I said no. I'm busy. I've actually gotten a few new friends…"
"Friends?"
"Yeah. Can't really let them know I'm a daughter of a god… that would be weird…"
I smirked, "Exactly the reason why you should come."
Her voice sounded questioning, "And why would you say that?"
"Because… your friends can't know that you're Notch's daughter. I can't let people know I'm Herobrine's daughter. Your siblings ditched you. My siblings ditched me. We have some things in common."
She quickly snapped back, bringing back a memory I tried hard to forget, "Don't call my brother's departure on my hands. He chose to leave with that… man."
"And so did Ashley. She left to be with…" I groaned, "Ugh… I don't even want to say his name…"
"Who?"
"Sky… the Budder…" my voice cracked at this last word, "God."
My cousin chuckled, "You should know by now that he's no god…"
"Unless he's the de…." I had said too much. I chose to bring up the subject I originally came to her for, "Can you reconsider my invitation?"
"Just to dinner?" she quietly asked.
"Yep. Just to dinner. My castle. Tonight."
"Tonight?!"
"Well, my father can't know of your arrival, and he's not going to be in the Nether… so, I planned for tonight to be perfect."
She growled, "Fine."
I grinned. Perfect. Exactly as I planned, "Farewell, Emma."
After this, I tapped my mind out of communication before she could reply.
Emma POV
"Farewell, Emma."
My older cousin disconnected her communication with me.
What was she hiding? Even though I accepted her dumb dinner invitation, there was something behind the fake facade.
But Cassandra had a point. Why would I reveal my secret to Sam and Tyler especially since I don't want anyone to know about being Notch's daughter? I wouldn't... let them know anything about my past. I would leave right away.
My mind still whirled from arriving late to the town. Who would sacrifice a whole town just for the good of one person? Maybe they had a reason why they left town. Maybe there was a reason behind everything. What was I thinking? There is reason behind everything.
The picture of the family may have had something to do with this. Maybe one of the girls got chosen for a sacrifice and mysteriously was saved by the other. Who would know unless they asked the girl in particular...?
I would sacrifice myself for my brother.
His name was Jordan. He had tan skin, short black hair, a beard and mustache of the same color, blue eyes very similar to mine, a silky black jacket, black pants, black dress shoes with long bleached white socks, and his symbol: a pair of bright red glasses with dimmed shades. He created a nickname for himself too: CaptainSparklez. Obviously I always laughed at his idea, but the more he kept bringing up leaving Notch's castle, the more I begun to believe him. Eventually, Jordan chose to leave the Aether when he found an opportunity. That chance came when he joined forces with a rebel from the Overworld codenamed xRpMx13. I haven't heard from Jordan or his friend ever since.
Of course this conversation with Cassandra was before I went to sleep. In a hurry, I decided to plant a fake figure of me and sneak off so I could meet up with my cousin.
So, I gathered together a whole watermelon, and a few canes of sugar, and a blanket, wrapping them together with string to create a replica of a body. Hopefully from this, Sam and Tyler wouldn't notice I went missing until after I left.
As I got up and begun to exit the tent, I heard the voice of someone.
"Emma?"
I spun around to find Sam's eyes half-way open, staring at me.
She continued, "Where are you going?"
I had to think of an excuse. Obviously I couldn't spill the truth. Way too soon.
"Uh… I'd rather not talk about the stuff I do in the woods…"
"Oh… sorry…"
"It's fine. See you in the morning."
"See you." Sam smiled and rolled back over to face Tyler's back.
I glanced over Sam's body to see Tyler hugging the picture of the girl and her family.
"Creepy," I thought to myself. Rolling my eyes, I left the tent. I snapped the thumb and middle fingers of my right hand and entered the fiery pit of my uncle's fortress known as the Nether.
