Chapter 9- The covered forest part 1

"The whispering lass?" Shorty raised his eyebrow in confusion still holding his sword in defense. "What are you going to do to us?"

"Nothing at all I don't need blood on my hands right now. But I suggest that you get out of here before anyone else catches you." She said gruffly.

"I would love to trust me but I've been separated from my friends. Plus I'm hunting an enderman."

"Enderman? Those things were locked in the enderworld. Why would you lie about something like that?" Shorty looked at the mysterious girl in confusion.

"No I'm not lying they're back." Shorty exclaimed.

"If that's true then I got to get you three out of here." The whispering lass was totally missing what they were talking about. "Come on."

"But what about my friends?" Shorty complained.

"They'll find their way out of the forest like we will." Tilly stopped right in front of the whispering lass? "Move over mule." Tilly snorted and walked back to Shorty.

"Does this mean you like me?" Tilly rolled her eyes and followed the whispering lass. "You like me admit it."

"You're so slow. Keep up before I leave you behind." Shorty growled and walked a little faster.

"Why are you so mean?" Shorty retorted. The girl fell silent and didn't move for a while. "I'm sorry I shouldn't of said that. Let's get out of here so we can find my friends."

"I'll find your friends you get back to where you came from. Got it?"

"No I don't got it." Shorty replied sternly.

"What did you say?" She growled.

"I won't leave Stan with that monster roaming around. Got that?" The whispering lass fell silent again. Her bullying ways were not working on Stan.

"Fine. We'll find your little friends. They must be very important to you." She walked on looking for any signs of the two friends.

"Where do you think they went?" Shorty asked.

"I have no idea. I haven't seen any signs of anyone."

"They were blasted off by that horrid creeper that snuck up on us." Shorty sighed.

"What? Creeper? And they're not dead yet? Shocker." She replied sarcastically.

"Leave it alone. I just know we need to find them or else." Shorty shivered at the thought of the enderman catching up to them.

"Fin. Let's- But her sentence was never finished. They were jumped then surrounded by several players. The whispering lass did not react well to the newcomers that told Shorty that these players were hostile.

"Look what we have here. Batgirl and her sidekicks." All of them laughed at the mean comment.

"Leave us alone and let us pass." She growled pulling out her iron sword. But all the raiders pulled out their diamond sword.

"Take all their stuff then do what you want with them. Save the horse and dispose of the mule." The leader said.

"Leave her alone. "Shorty snarled softly.

"What was that punk?" The ringleader asked.

"Leave her alone. "He pulled out his sword and all the raiders stood aghast for a moment then recovered their poise. "Attack them both."

Shorty was able to knock down a couple of the raiders but soon saw that he was outmatched. But then a shrill cry rose from the sky that made the raiders retreat. Shorty assumed that it was the enderman.

"Let's get out of here." The raiders retreated back wherever they came from.

"Let's hope we don't run into anyone else." Shorty's guide looked around to double check to see if anyone was there.

"What was that all about?" Shorty scoffed.

"Those were raiders. If that enderman didn't scare them off we'd be dead by now. They steal your stuff then dispose of you. They may even try to do worse."

"I see." Shorty sighed in relief. "If that endermans angry we need to find my friends quick!"

They picked up the pace shouting for Stan and Hugh. But there was no response.

"Where do you think they are?" Shorty growled in hopeless frustration.

"They are probably looking for you." The whispering lass replied. "Then he might run into that monster." Panic gripped Shorty.

"Look at that!" Shorty exclaimed as they passed an mushroom and built into it was a house. "No one's home."

"Then let's see if we can find anything that can help us." The whispering lass exclaimed.

Inside the house were several chests filled to the brink with items that were either totally useless to them or totally useful. The found two bows with arrows and enderpearls.

"Where would this guy get enderpearls wouldn't that mean there's-"

"More than one enderman. Yes." She grabbed all the pearls she could. "There's so many of them. That's not good at all."

"What does that mean?" Shorty asked realizing something he hadn't before.

"It means that we are all in for something. If our last attack failed they're stronger than we thought."

"Minecraft is changing for better or for worse." Shorty said softly remembering what the hermit had chanted previously.

"What was that?"

"Minecraft is changing for the better of for worse."

"No I heard you the first time what's happening out there?" They rushed to one of the windows to see several skeltons, creepers, and zombies. They stood in one place and stared at the two. Tilly and AlmostIlllegal shrieked in fear as they realized that they were completely surrounded.

"Minecraft is changing." They chanted. "For better or for worse"

"They can speak?" Shorty looked at the masked girl who was apparently shocked at the monsters. "This is weird what's happening?"

Shorty sighed. "Minecraft is changing for better or for worse." The voices of the monsters flooded out and they must of remembered what they were supposed to do. They growled and tried to get inside the house.

"Oh no we're doomed." She whined.

"No not yet. I'm going to cut the ropes on the mule and horse and try to tell them to get out of here. The monsters won't go after them." Shorty climbed out and cut the ropes. Tilly spent no time to get out of there. "Wait I was going to tell you something." Shorty sighed and let his horse go.

"What happened?"

"Tilly already ran off." Shorty sighed. "I didn't tell her what to do."

"Well let's get on the roof." They climbed up the ladder that was conveniently there.

"Throw one of the enderpearls it'll teleport us out of here." Shorty commanded. At the same time they threw it. Shorty closed his eyes hoping this would work. He felt himself moving very fast. "Hmm that's strange." He thought. "How our we moving?"

"Tilly! AlmostIllegal!" It turned out that they were on the backs of the two horses. "How lucky are we?" Tilly smiled and rolled her eyes.

"I see the exit out of the forest coming up soon." Shorty's partner shouted.

"But where's Stan?" Stan and Hugh were no where in sight and it was getting to be dark soon which meant more monsters would come.

Where is Stan and Hugh anyway? Find out in the covered forest part 2. More than one enderman coming into the overworld what's happening? Does it have to do with the monsters and the hermit chanting minecraft is changing for better or for worse? What do you think?

I finished part 2 as well but just because I won't update it for a couple days. Cliffhanger
