Goodgirl: thanks, and possibly. Diamondzcraft: XD.
Chapter 10
"Hey, I didn't ask you earlier, what are your names?" the twoleg asked. "Creeperkit and…grey moon, I don't know how to say your name in twoleg!" grey moon sighed and flicked his tail nervously, the monsters kept staring at them from the trees and it was creepering him out. "Just make something up!" he hissed. "Creeperkit and, stream sword." She said. "Oh, those are… interesting names. I'm Luke ender."
The twoleg was starting to slow down and was stumbling over every root and pebble, and when creeperkit offered to catch him a fish or chicken he refused saying that he felt too sick to eat. Eventually he collapsed completely and groaned. Grey moon ran off to see if he could find a healer and creeperkit gathered some long grass and leaves and soaked them in water from a nearby pond to put on his burns and scratches. 'Creeperkit, do you really want to save this human?' asked a familiar voice. It was the same voice she had heard when that creeper egg appeared! "Yes! Of course I do!" she mewed. '…alright. I will help you.' The voice whispered. Luke started to glow bright white and his injuries disappeared. The glow slowly faded and he opened his eyes, creeperkit squeaked in surprise, his formerly hazel eyes had become a dull white.
At that moment grey moon came back carrying some leaves and flowers. "I couldn't find a healer but I'm pretty Shure these heal burns and infection- what happened?!" he yowled. "I- I heard a voice asking me if I really wanted to save him and I said yes and he started glowing and now his eyes are white!" Luke sat up and looked confused. "I didn't know both of you could talk!" he said excitedly. Grey moon was amazed. "he-he's been chosen." He whispered. Luke looked around at them, starting to get worried. "You can both talk right? I'm not dead, am I?" he asked nervously. Creeperkit looked over to grey moon who was still staring at Luke and stomped on a twig to get his attention. "Oh, right, um-no you're not dead. You've been chosen." He mewed. "By who? For what?" Luke was starting to panic. "Being chosen is a great honor; it means one of the gods of mincraftia has chosen you. And you have been chosen by herobrine." Luke's now white eyes widened and creeperkit curled up next to him to help him relax. "But- if herobrine chose me, then whatever he wants me for can't be good." Luke said. Creeperkit frowned and grey moon nearly clawed Luke before reminding himself that Luke had grown up hearing the lies that they had spread. "No, Luke, the real herobrine is nothing like the one you know. He would never have you do something you wouldn't want to do." Luke still looked worried and he would avoid any water they passed so he wouldn't see his eyes.
Eventually they came to a small twoleg place filled with villagers; creeperkit narrowed her eyes at the long nosed creatures. She had heard about their stupidity from ashpaw. Grey moon suggested that Luke could go in pretending that he was blind and take some food from one of the farms for the trip to his village, so Luke crept up to one of the farms, not needing to pretend to be blind as all of the villagers were still asleep, and dug up a few potatoes and carrots.
As they neared the stoneclan/streamclan border the thick oak forest turned into plains and a lone twoleg den came into view, it was amazing, it had three floors and red wool carpets, the walls were made of birch planks and the windows were stained with hundreds of beautiful colors, there was a garden with many different kinds of flowers and bushes and a small pond were fish swam. Luke smiled at the house happily. "That's Steve's house, he let me play in his pond and read his books when I was little." As they got closer to the house creeperkit saw a cat in the window, a young black tom. "Who's he?" she asked Luke, pointing at the cat with her tail. Luke looked up at the cat. "Oh, he's cave. Steve found him lost in a mineshaft and helped him get out, he's been following him ever since. Steve didn't even need to tame him." Grey moon and creeperkit shuddered when he said "tame". Luke slapped his forehead and muttered "I'm such an idiot." He stopped and bent down to be on eye level with the cats. "I'm sorry, talking about taming cats is probably offensive to you guys." He said awkwardly. Creeperkit flicked her tail and rubbed her head on his knee. "It's okay." She mewed. "It's less offensive, more terrifying. Being a slave to a twoleg forever, forced to either sit on a bed all day or scare off creepers. That would scare any cat." Luke nodded and started to walk again.
They eventually got to the desert where the abandoned house that apparently led to the nether was. Luckily the house was very close by and they got there just as the sun started to rise. "Please come with us, Luke!" creeperkit begged as grey moon removed some rocks from the corner of the room. "If you change your mind you can always leave and you'll know what herobrine wants you for!" Luke was going to leave the house as soon as the zombies burned and go to his village, and hopefully not get driven out by the other minecraftians. "Creeperkit, I need to go home. How would you feel if you never got to see your family again? I need to see them at least one more time to tell them I'm ok before I even consider leaving." He said. The cream colored kitten's head drooped and she went into the bedroom. Luke heard a growl from the corner and looked up to see grey moon glaring at him. "She already knows how it feels to be separated from her family." he hissed. "She was locked up in a prisoner den for the first two moons of her life alone with only the apprentice who fed her for company. Then she was forced to run away after her own clan mates tried to kill her! " Luke looked at the door to the bedroom guiltily. "Why?" he asked quietly still staring at the door. "Because she was different." Grey moon spat. "Her eyes are 'strange' so her clan called her evil." This time it was Luke who growled. He stood and walked into the bedroom. He sat on the bed next to the sniffling kit and stroked her ears, not knowing how else to calm a crying cat. "Creeperkit, I'm so sorry. I didn't know." he whispered. Creeperkit sniffed and looked up at him with her pure green eyes, they were very pretty now that he thought about it, and purred weakly. "It's okay, I forgive you." She mewed. Luke picked her up and carried her into the main room were grey moon had removed the last stone from the corner. Grey moon seemed to have calmed down and he was waiting on top of a chest. Luke put creeperkit down and looked at grey moon curiously. "Why do cats like siting on chests and beds anyway?" he asked. Grey moon purred mischievously. "Because it gets in your way, of course!" Grey moon and creeperkit yowled in unison.
Creeperkit walked over to the hole in the floor and looked down. It was so deep that she couldn't see the bottom, it just dissolved into darkness. "I think the last of the skeletons and zombies have burned, I'd better go." Luke said sadly. He was going to miss the little cats. He would come back, of course. But not for a few weeks, he still had to get to his village, that would take at least three days, and he wanted to visit his cousin who lived about five days away from him. Creeperkit padded to the twoleg and rubbed her head against his legs. "I'll miss you, Luke." She mewed softly. Luke bent over and scratched behind her ears. "I'll miss you too, creeperkit." He whispered. Luke waved one more time and stepped out the door.
Creeperkit sighed and padded to the hole. Grey moon dived in first to make sure everything was all right at the bottom. She guessed it wasn't as a second later she heard a loud yell and the sound of bones clanking. "Grey moon?" she yowled. "Is everything okay?" she waited a few seconds for an answer then repeated herself louder. "I'm okay! I just ran into a skeleton making his way up!" grey moon answered. There were a few more clanking noises and then grey moon shouted "I ran into the skeleton king on his way up!" there was a pause then creeperkit heard a distant splash and a very quiet yell and guessed that it was safe to jump down. She cautiously crawled to the edge of the pit and leaped down head first. She immediately flipped herself so she would land on her paws and spread herself out to slow herself down. She passed many ores on her way down and even an emerald. 'Why didn't the person who dug this mine all these ores?' she wondered. Eventually the air became thick with dark mist, she was nearing bedrock. The bottom of the hole came into view and she prepared for impact, with a loud splash she landed in a small underground pond. She swam to the edge of the pool coughing and spitting out water and looked around the cave, it was exactly what she had thought it would look like, well except for the squids and the fact that nothing was on and/or breathing fire. Grey moon and a skeleton with a gold (budder) helmet were waiting near the pool. The skeleton clanked and snapped its jaws at her and she backed away. "Don't worry, he was just saying hello!" Grey moon laughed. The skeleton nodded and started walking away, gesturing for her to follow. Creeperkit padded after him cautiously and they ended up in a corner were endermen were trading and showing off rare rocks and gems, a few young ones made castles and forts out of stones and mud. One of the younger endermen saw Creeperkit and made a kind of chirping noise to the others they crowded around Creeperkit, shoving their hands and feet through the crowd towards her. The skeleton shook his head and clanked. The little endermen looked down in shame and walked back to their fort, looking jealously at the older endermen. Grey moon padded up to Creeperkit and purred. "Aren't they cute? They're so impatient to be bonded." He mewed. "So, which one did you pick?" Creeperkit was incredibly confused. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, to officially join Herobrine's army you need to bond to an enderman, to do that you find an unbounded enderman and, this is the awkward part, scratch them, make them bleed." Creeperkit gasped. "Why!" she yowled. Grey moon sighed and shook his head. "Only Herobrine knows." Creeperkit looked guiltily at the endermen. "What have I gotten myself into?" she hissed under her breath. As she walked towards the endermen a few of them glanced up and raised their arms, showing tiny scars on their wrists, others backed away and growled defensively. It seemed that all the adult endermen were bonded or refused to be. Creeperkit flattened her ears and turned towards the younger endermen. The little endermen charged and Creeperkit was lost in an endless sea of arms and legs. Eventually, out of desperation to escape, Creeperkit lashed out at a passing hand. The stampede stopped and the enderchildren backed away one by one until only a very small, white enderchild was left, an albino. It chirped with joy and the other enderchildren scowled. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" the enderchild cried. It crouched down to hug Creeperkit; even though it was a runt it was still two times taller than her, about Luke's height. "You're welcome." She gasped as the little enderman wrapped its long arms around her. The enderchild let go and smiled excitedly. "I'm Akira! What's your name?" she chirped. Creeperkit dusted herself off with her tail and sat down, Akira copied her, sitting cross-legged on the stone floor. "I'm Creeperkit. It's nice to meet you." She mewed. The skeleton, probably the skeleton king grey moon had run into, sat next to them. "So, how was your trip, creeperkit?" he asked. The cream she-kit looked over to him and flicked her tail dismissively and shrugged. "It was ok, I guess." The skeleton grinned and pointed to a side cave nearby. "Once you're done talking head over there, there should be a brown tom cat named wood that'll show you the way to the nether." Akira disappeared with a quiet piff and a burst of white/blue dust appeared were she had been. there was another little piff and she reappeared a few feet away, her red eyes wide with excitement. "Come on, what we are waiting for!" creeperkit started walking to the side tunnel. Akira growled impatiently and teleported next to creeperkit. She grabbed the cat and teleported into the tunnel. When they got to the portal chamber Akira dropped creeperkit and grinned as the kit stumbled dizzily. An old brown tom, probably wood, was sitting near the ether portal worriedly mumbling to himself. "Um, hi. Are you wood?" creeperkit asked. The cat looked up and nodded uncomfortably. "Where's the nether portal!?" Akira shouted excitedly as she ran up to wood and lifted him off the ground happily and spun him around. Wood struggled free and dropped to the ground. "Hello Akira." He said grumpily. "As you already know it's the obsidian one near the door, however you cannot enter until you have been either bonded or chosen by someone who's already there .and you know that won't happen until you're older." Creeperkit narrowed her eyes and ran her claws along the smooth surface of the nether portal, making a loud screech. Wood looked toward creeperkit and finally noticed that they had come in together. "Oh, you have been bonded! Finally, I'll get some peace!" he mewed happily, completely forgetting about the ether portal he guided Akira to the obsidian portal and gently shoved her in, then he grabbed creeperkit and threw her in before she could protest. He walked back to his little den and sighed happily as he settled down for a nap. "Hmmm, that's odd. I feel like I'm forgetting something important." He whispered.
Grey moon suddenly remembered something. 'We never got the chance to visit oak!' he thought. He jumped to his paws and ran from the group of little endermen who he had been helping make a tower out of dirt. He heard several whines and growls of disappointment as he ran toward woods cave, but he ignored it and hoped that wood was in a good mood, the last person who tried to enter one of his portals without flint and steel had been blinded by the crazy old tom and thrown into the ether. As he entered the portal room he noticed that the nether portal was filled with purple mist, a good sign, and that wood was napping in his den. "Wood, what happened to that cream she-kit and albino enderman that came in here today?!" he asked franticly. The brown tom blinked his eyes open and yawned. "I jus' tossed 'em into the nether. " He mewed drowsily. Grey moon sighed in relief and jumped into the nether portal after them.
Creeperkit yowled in fear as the crazy tom threw her into the swirling purple mist; her yell was cut off when she fell through the portal into the nether and landed on a hard nether brick floor. She gasped as the wind was knocked out of her and a tall white figure 'Akira?' and a black/blue thing in a bucket stare at her. When her vision cleared she saw that the white creature was in fact Akira with a baby magma cube on her head and the thing in the bucket was a squid. Creeperkit saw the squid and unsheathed her claws. Unfortunately Akira saw what she was doing and grabbed the bucket. "No, this squid is not food!" she growled. "The squid swished around in its bucket smugly as creeperkit slouched in disappointment. "Hey, hey, look at me!" it shouted. "I'm a hostile mob! Look, look, I am a Hostile Mob!" Akira rolled her eyes and dumped the squid out of the bucket. "Hey! What are you doing! I'm a hostile mob too!" it screeched. Akira sighed and started to walk away, dropping the bucket. "Never mind, I've heard their useless any way. Let's go explore!" Creeperkit stared down at the squid, who was struggling to get back to his bucket while also trying to keep himself off the hot ground. She grabbed it in her jaws and placed it back in the bucket, which was still half full of ice and water. "Oh, thank you! I was worried for a second that you were going to leave me there, that's what that one guy always does, well after stabbing me a few times with his wimpy gold sword." Creeperkit stared at the squid. "He's been stabbed and suffocated several times?! How did he survive that?' she stumbled after Akira, the heavy bucket was slowing her down and throwing off her balance. Eventually she dropped the bucket and left the squid were someone else would find him and sprinted through the halls, Akira only a few feet ahead of her now. When they got out of the nether fortress they found another large cave, similar to the other one except this time things were on and/or breathing fire. A patrol of blazes floated past them into the fortress along with medium sized magma cubes on chain leashes; hopefully they would rescue the idiotic squid. The magma cube on Akira's head jumped off after them. No, the baby magma cube had not been a hallucination of some kind; it was a lost little cube that liked sitting on heads. A few cats around creeperkits age (about 2.5 moons) were fighting with dull, almost broken swords, the blades looked like they were made of quarts, and a group of older cats were cheering for their kits and friends. Akira pulled a piece of old, yellow paper out of nowhere and tapped it; it immediately turned red on one side. "A magic map? How did you get one of those?!" creeperkit asked. The white enderman laughed and memorized the map before putting it back to were ever she got it from. "They aren't that rare, all endermen get one before leaving the end so we don't accidentally teleport into lava or- or water" she shuddered at the mention of water and creeperkit giggled. "Anyway, we need to head over there so we can officially become apprentices!" She shouted as she grabbed creeperkit and teleported in the direction of a small cave were the non-sword fighting kits were playing a game with pebbles (Probably similar to Marbles). Akira stopped and dumped Creeperkit onto the netherrack. "Thanks for setting me down gently, Akira." She muttered sarcastically. The kits looked up and a dark grey one with pure black eyes padded forward. "Finally, this was getting boring." The kit mewed. "Come with me, I'll take you to the mentors." He grabbed Creeperkit by the scruff of her neck and pulled her up from where she was still collapsed on the ground. Akira started walking towards the entrance to what must have been the apprentices den and creeperkit padded after her and the grey tom after smiling at the kits who were still staring at her. Inside the den she saw hundreds of chests lining the walls with labels marking the contents of each. "This is the apprentices storage room, it's were we keep our weapons, food and armor." The grey kit said. "Oh, by the way I'm ghost." Creeperkit smiled. "I'm creeperkit." In the next room there were a few nests, deferentially not enough for all of the apprentices she'd seen outside. 'Where do they all sleep?' at the back of the room a white cat, a grey wolf and a black sheep were talking quietly. "Frost, darkfoot, fleece! There are two new members here to see you!" ghost yowled before running out of the room. The three mobs turned to face creeperkit and Akira and walked toward them. The wolf, darkfoot, looked them up and down then sat. "They look strong and healthy. Fleece, what do you think?" he barked. The sheep stepped forward and stepped on creeperkit's paw; creeperkit yelped and unsheathed her claws as the sheep's hard hoof smashed her foot. The sheep stepped away as Akira also hissed in pain, grabbing her foot. "They've been properly bonded." The sheep said. Frost stepped forward, her pure blue eyes glowing. "What are your names?" she asked. "Akira," "Creeperkit." Frost smiled. "A clan cat, huh? Well then, Akira, You are now an official apprentice of herobrine's army, you will be taught fighting by darkfoot. Creeperkit, from this day forward until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Creeperpaw, I will train you as a witch."
Yay, longest chapter ever! Five and a half pages on word! WOHOOO! Questions:
Creeperkit (story) and Nightkit: What's it like having white eyes? :3 (I kinda wish mine were white. No real reason, though. :P)
Creeperpaw: our eyes aren't really white exactly.
Nightkit: only herobrine and his chosen have that honor. My eyes are blue, but they don't have any black or white, just pure blue.
