Herobrines POV:
I could feel their gaze towards me as Sky told his story. I had a feeling that they might interrupt Sky with questions towards me, so I decided to explore the large house The Roommates shared. I decided to walk in a random direction, ending up in a large kitchen. What threw me off at first, was that there were two refridgerators. I look closely at the two. One is a deep purple while the other is white. I open the purple out of curiosity, and I find it full of milk. The buckets and bottles the milk is placed in read 'Goats Milk'. I open the other fridge, and there is regular food along with the goat milk within it. I am a little confused as to why there is so much milk, but I don't question the person who did it.I walk towards another part of the kitchen. It is a space of marble counter full of different kinds of grain and vegetables. There is a katana in a case on the wall aboce it, and there was a small peice of paper by the grain. 'Don't touch Thundermuffins food'. I wonder who Thundermuffin is, but I don't dwell on the idea. I see an old and dusty toaster by the other end of the kitchen. I feel as though it is sulking, even though it is an inatimate object, so I decide to go somewhere else.
I walk up the double stairway, rooms were along the hall on both ends. The first one in the hall, has a very weird sign on it. For some reason, the sign read Dirt, Apple, Goat, and the Barneys. I open the door a little, jumping a bit when I hear a goat from across the room. I look at the white and grey animal, but then it started to run at me, Its head down. I quickly closed the door so I wouldn't be headbutted. The second door with a sign, read Mini Laboratory. I opened it cautiously, finding a lot a machinery and electrical items. I go to the third one, that simply read, 'Stay Out'. I decide to leave the room be, so I wouldn't look rude for opening a door that said to not go in it. The next door said Red. I look inside, see a baby costume (From a SkyDoesThings video) and slowly close the door and walk away. The next read Ross, so I opened it. I saw a chicken in a large pen, with toys and treats everywhere. A butter sign beside the pen, read Thundermuffin. There was another katana hanging on the wall, and I see another door down the hall. It is made of butter, and I push it open. Just as I thought, it must be the room Sky stays in whenever he visits. There is butter everywhere and a large butter broadsword hanging above the bed. I decide to head back down the stairs, and glance at a clock. I had to do a double-take, I had no idea that I have been wandering around for an hour. I ready a teleportation spell, and I appear beside the mad red head, making him scream.
"I'm sorry." I say quickly, but he is furious and I can tell.
"What was that for!? Trying a new way to kill people by scaring them instead?" I wanted to teleport away, but I had to explain to this red head that I am no threat.
"No, I only wanted to teleport back downstairs. I-" I was cut off by him yelling again.
"Thats where you were? Going through our stuff?" I try to say something, but the other, nicer, red head speaks up.
"Calm down Max, I'm sure he had a reason." The guy in the red dinosaur costume explained. The guy named Max glared at me, slowly unsheathing an iron sword.
"I-I didn't touch anything, I promise." I said, but the Max guy obviously didn't listen. Next thing I know, there is a sword up to my neck. "This is over the top. I didn't touch anything and I'm not going to kill anyone. Why don't you believe me?" I finally ask. I couldn't understand why Max hated me, other than the fact that I killed people. Sky put a hand on Maxs shoulder, but he shrugged him off. There was a long pause, until I felt the blade going through my neck. I heard a whisper, so small I don't think even Deadlox heard it.
"You killed my brother."
Skys POV:
I try to stop Max, whenever he paused like that, he was going to blow. He gets mad easily, but he had always had a burning hatred for Herobrine. He shrugged my hand off of his shoulder, and I thought that he had calmed down, my mistake. He then slices Herobrines neck wide open. He stumbled back, clutching his now torn throat. Blood was leaking quickly through his hands, and he couldn't breathe.
"Ssundee, use your aura to heal him. His doesn't work as well if he uses it on himself." I explained, and Ssundees aura appeared around him as he started to heal Herobrine, who was now trying to gasp for breath. My amulet glowed darkly with anger. I turn to Max, and I didn't mean to yell, but I did.
"Why did you do that Max? He's changed and doesn't hurt anyone anymore! How dense can you possibly be!?" I notice a split second later what I yelled. I instantly regretted that I did that. My amulet stopped glowing completely. A hand went to my mouth, covering it in shock. I had never yelled at one of my friends in true anger before, let along give them a true insult. Max stared at me in shock and silence before running up the stairs. Everyone, even Herobrine, looked at me in surprise as well.
"Fudge." Deadlox said in a near whisper, and I started to run after Max, but Herobrine grabbed my shoulder. I could tell that his neck was nearly healed, just a scratch left. He shook his head.
"Let me speak with him. I don't know if Prince Deadlox over there heard it or not, but he mentioned something about me killing someone." He motioned to Deadlox, it was a new nickname he made for him, after we learned that he was once the Ender Prince. "You need to calm down, your basically crying a river." A hand instanly went to my cheek, and I felt tears. I didn't know I started to cry, but now that I did, I cried more.
"I-I never...yelled in s-spite at a fr-friend." I couldn't believe I just did that, and Deadlox hugged me.
"It's alright, everyone does that on accident." He tells me, but I still feel bad. Herobrine walked up the stairs, ignoring Ssundees call about him still being injured.
Herobrines POV:
I see the door that says not to enter and I walk towards it. I quietly knock on the door, hearing a muffled 'what' from inside. I sigh, not knowing how to start what I was going to say.
"You...mentioned something about me killing someone you knew?" I started, and hear a groan from inside.
"Oh, its you, Monster." He seemed calmer than earlier, and I feel extreme guilt.
"Who did I kill..." I refrain from saying his name, not wanting him to get mad again. That sword hurt a lot.
"Big brother." He said from the inside, and my guilt turned to dread. "I was three years old, he was going to tell me something." I think, trying to figure out who I could have killed.
"What did he look like? I may not be able to remember much from before I became a monster, but I remember everyone I killed in great detail, mabye he said something...I just have to know who it was..." I thought he was going to blow up at me, but he surprisingly answered. Who he described was someone I killed slowly and horribly.
-Flashback No POV-
A crazed Herobrine stared at a teenager tied to a tree. He had red hair and a golden 'Z' necklace. He had brown eyes, and he was trying to get free. Herobrine stared at the person with a bemused smile.
"So, why are you tresspassing?" Herobrine asks with mock seriousness. The person puts on a brave face as he glares at him.
"My brother has a birthday today." He spat at the immortal being, who easily dodged it. A loud and insane laugh came from his mouth as he summoned an obsidian sword.
"I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart, human." Herobrine stated, slowly and painfully removing the mans arms. "Litterally." The person didn't cry out in pain as Herobrine sliced open his stomach. He didn't make a single word as the monster killed him slowly. He only said one thing before he died.
"My baby brother...family blood of aura strength. Hopefully one day you'll understand, monster."
-End of flashback and back to Herobrines POV-
I quickly came back to my senses, noticing that I was curled up against the door. I was hugging my knees to my chest, and I could hear Max through the door.
"You went quiet...I guess you left." I hear a sigh, and quickly say something, but it came out jambled. "What?" I shake my head and take a deep breath so I didn't talk nonsense full of studders again.
"I-I'm sorry. I just remembered your brother...I remembered in every detail what I did to kill him. I remember him having that same necklace." I hear some shuffling from behind the door, and a small sob.
"What I don't get." I pause, looking at the ceiling. "Your brother said something about your family having the aura of strength, what is that?" I hear a gasp from behind the door.
"I-It's the family ability. We all have a rusty red aura, that when activated, can give us a strength boost, although we are only good with offensive spells, not defensive." I was going to say something, but the door suddenly opened, making me fall backwards. I quickly stand, looking at Max, who seemed a bit mad.
"Why were you leaning on my door?" He asked, looking at me curiously, crossing his arms. I could see a faint red around him and the smell of pepper.
"When I remembered, I guess I curled into a ball against your door. It wasn't really the most pleasant of memories." I look a the ground, and a thought quickly came to my mind. "Oh, I forgot!" I probably said it so quickly and loud that I scared him, because he jumped a little. I look at him, silently apologizing. "Sky never meant to yell. I don't know how long I've been up here, but when I made my way up the stairs, Sky was crying his eyes out because he was filled with so much quilt."
"Wow, I missed Sky crying." He sighed, glancing in the direction of the stairs. "...I know he didn't mean it, I just had to walk off before I killed someone." I chuckle a little, getting his attention.
"If you wanted to decapitate me, you could have said so. I can't die, I would just be in utter agony until my head was reattached." I explained. He gave me an odd look. "Someone already stabbed me sixty times today." He looked thoughtful and started to drag me to the stairs.
"How about I push you down the stairs? I already basically cut off your head for killing him, and now you need to be punished for snooping around as Sky told us what happened this past week." I agree, but before I could get ready, he suddenly pushes me.
Skys POV:
I hear a yelp and a thud from the stairs, and we run to make sure everything is okay. When we get there, I see Herobrine sprawled out at the bottom of the stairs, chuckling uncontrolably. I also see Max walking down the stairs with a satifyed smirk on his face. I am confused.
"What did we miss?" asked Jin, and I just shrug. Herobrine stood shakily, holding his head and chuckling more.
"T-that scared the Nether out of me..." He said, turning to Max. "Why didn't you warn me? I hit my head." He fake pouted at the end, causing Max to laugh. Now I'm more confused.
"You said I could push you down the stairs, but you never specified when." Ross facepalmed.
"Can we not destroy this house in one day?" he asked, but none of us answered him. I turned towards Max, feeling quilty again.
"I'm sorry Max, I never meant to do that." I could feel tears start to form in my eyes behind my sunglasses again, but I dont wipe them away. He only shrugged.
"I know..." He trailed off at a thought. A wicked smile crossed his face, and I feld scared. If he smiles like that, he has a very bad prank ahead. "Since I pushed him down the stairs for exploring rooms that arent his, how about I take away your butter for an hour." I gasp, starting to panic.
"B-b-but you wont do that...right?" I plead, clutching my budder sword. "You all know I'm obsessed." I whine and Jason smacks me in the head, His usually big eyes narrowed impossibly.
"You are not obsessed." I don't say anything, pretending to look as though he is right. But I am obsessed, did he not see my room full of budder both here and home?
"It's alright Sky, I wont take away your butter." Max sighed. Husky took a sip of tea that Jin had made earlier before talking again. "But I'm joining you on your mission."
I apologize for the wait for this chapter, I had to do a system reboot on my laptop, wiping everything, including my documents. I retyped it, and I apologize is some places seem rushed. I am currently writing this at 1:00 in the morning, and I need to get some sleep in. I added some history to Mad Max, and his brother is my headcannon, I don't know if he has one in real life. If you are asking, yes, this house they are in greatly resembles the one from the Roommates series. I am so glad that Team Crafted are still doing videos together, it shows that the team is not disbanded. As for putting this story on Wattpad, I'll see if I can. I have an account, but I forgot the password. It is up to you readers to choose wether or not Salty Max joins the group on their journey. If you can quess what happens next, you get a cookie! (::) (::) (::) Sayonara and have a nice day.
