Hey guys Agithos here for another chapter. I hope you guys are doing good ^^ Onto the story

WARNING : This is a rewrite. If you find something that you think is incoherent with later chapters. Please, let me know immediatly.


Present time, The cave, Mickael POV

"Vanessa, what the hell happened to you ?" I asked to the little girl.

Vanessa was lying on the same kind of bed I woke up earlier. She was badly bruised, her arms had some sratches and some blood had dried underneath her nose. Furthermore, her clothes were torn in places. She stared at me and sniffed a few time.

"W-What are you doing...here ?" She spoke up.

"Well, I heard you cry from the other side of the door, so I came to see if you were okay !"

"I am fine, so go away !" She replied.

Was she just messing with me or was she really hoping I would believe her ? Probably a little pit of both. I stood my ground and asked my question a seond time. I wanted an honest answer.

"If you are fine, where those bruises come from ?" I asked as I pointed at one on her arm.

"Why do you care, human ?" She asked back.

"Just answer my question !" I replied.

"Fine, I fell downstairs when I wanted to get in my room, no big deal. Now go away !"

"She fell downstairs, yeaa...like I would believe that. I'll let it slide for now !" I thought before saying : "Alright, but you should go see Ayumi to get healed !"

I saw her slightly nodding as I was exiting her room. Then I headed toward the place I woke up to get some sleep. I may have woke just an hour or two ago but my wound was still hurting pretty bad, I wanted to let it rest, at least for today. Suddenly, I bumped into a familiar woman archer : Ayumi. She looked at me with a sad smile on her face. I still felt a bit upset at her but I also felt bad for snapping at her and not letting her apologize.

"Hum...listen Mickael...I-I know you probably hate me right now but I just wanted to say I am sorry about earlier. I assumed your parents were still alive when I shouldn't have !" She bowed to me.

"I am sorry too..." I replied

"What ?" She asked, a little surprised.

"I am sorry for shouting at you. I overreacted when you said I didn't know what you both have been through. I mean...you couldn't know !"

"Well...I'll accept your apology if you accept mine !" She said while handing one hand to me.

"It's a deal !" I chuckled as I shook her hand, making her giggle for a second.

After we forgave ourselves for our mistakes, I told her about the little girl's condition.

"You should go see Vanessa, she is in bad shape. Her arms have some scratches and her nose has been bleeding a little !"

"WHAT ? Why didn't she come to see me ?"

"I-I don't know, she just said she fell downstairs while she was heading to her room...but something was wrong. It feel like she was lying to me !"

"Don't worry, Vanessa tend to be an unkindly girl when she doesn't trust or know the person she is talking to for a long time. However, if you gain her trust, she can be very kind...at times. I remember her giving me a hard time before she finally trusted me. It was rather quick, thanks to her sister. Anyway, I should see how she is...Goodnight !"

"Goodnight !"

And with that being said, I went into my room. I opened the door, got myself undressed with only my boxer remaining. I put my other clothes and my leather armor next to my bed. A minute later, I fell into a deep slumber.


Unknow time, unknow place, unknow POV

"Mommy ?...Daddy ?" A little boy asked. Fear could be seen in his eyes. Fire...smoke...death. Those were the only things he could smell at this moment. In front of him, two bodies were lying on the ground, motionless. One man and one woman. Blood was pouring out of their wounds and the man's neck seemed broken.

"Mommy...Daddy...Wake up...!" The little boy began to cry as he shaked the woman vigorously.

Two figures with red and grey clothes were watching the scene from behind. One sighed and shook its head before walking toward the young boy.

"I am sorry kid, we all are...We couldn't save them. It was already too late !"

The little kid didn't seem to react as he continued to call for his dead parents.

"Mommy...wake up, please !"

A third firefighter appeared from the shadow to see what was happening.

"Sophie, how is the young boy ?" He asked to his teammate.

"Pretty bad I would say. He doesn't suffer from any major injury but he is in state of shock. His father died instantly on impact, his neck snapped. As for the mother, she died of blood loss. That kid is the only survivor !"

"I see...I can't really blame him. I would surely be broken down too if I saw my parents die like this...Damn bastards, I hope they went in hell for this !" The man glared.

The boy finally stopped speaking and instead began to cry out loud.

"Mickael...Mickael...MICKAEL !"


Present time, Ayumi's and Vanessa's cave, Mickael POV

I woke up with a star, sweating and shaking. I could also feel something wet on my cheeks. I quickly looked at my surrounding. I was still in bed I fell alseep on and a scared woman was staring at me with worried eyes, Ayumi.

"Hey Mickael, calm down. It's okay, you had a nightmare ?" She asked with a gentle voice.

"Yes...No, well...not really. I was a flashback !"

"Oh...I just came to change your bandages when I heard you crying from the other side of the door. I entered and I saw you turning in your sleep, so I chose to wake you up !" She explained

"Thanks, you did the right thing. I don't want to go through that again..."

"How often do you have those kind of nightmares ?" Ayumi asked.

"I don't know, maybe once a week. I don't keep track anymore. That day still haunts me..." I answered.

"What day...if you don't...mind me asking ?"

"The day my parents died !" I closed my eyes and sighed.

"I understand what you feel. I had nightmares too of my family being slaughtered by adventurers. I still have some but they are quite rare !"

There was a long moment of silence into the room, neither her or I said anything for almost a minute.

"So, did you take care of Vanessa's injuries ?" I decided to broke up the silence "Did she tell you where they come from ?"

"Yes, but she told me exactly the same thing as you. She fell downstairs, end of the story !"

"Right..." I said between my teeth "What time is it ?

"According to the watch, it's almost dawn. You have been sleeping for fourteen hours straight !" She answered.

"That's a new record for me, I guess !" I chuckled as I crossed my arms.

"Oh, I nearly forgot, I also wanted to know if you wanted to come with me into our mine to help me get some ressources, so you make a better armor than this... !" She said as she pointed at my leather armor

I had to say, she was right. My armor was pretty damaged after both of my fights with Edun. There was a deep cut in the shoulder pad and some parts were either missing or torn apart.

"However, if you want to come with me, you will have to promise me to go easy on your shoulder. I really don't want you to worsen up your injury !"

"Works for me !" I replied with a smile.

"Then go get prepred, we will leave when you are ready !" And with that, she left the room.

I went to my equipement, put on my pants, my damaged armor and my sword's sheath with it inside. I also took the very thing that saved my life the day before : My pistol. After thanking it properly, I exited the room. Ayumi was waiting outside for me.

"Are you ready to go ?"

"Well, not really. I could use a bath or a shower right now. Do you have some kind of bathroom I could use ?" I asked.

"No, we mobs, don't take bathes. We stay dirty all our lives...Seriously, it's obvious that we have one. Otherwise, we would be dirtier than the dirt itself !" She said, rolling her eyes.

"Sorry...It's just that I have never seen a mob taking a bath knowingly !"

"What do you mean by that ?" Ayumi raised an eyebrow.

"Oh crap..." I facepalmed mentally

"Nothing, forget it !" I quickly responded.

Fortunatly for me, she just let it slide.

"The bathroom is just to your right. Have fun !"

I followed Ayumi's instructions and I arrived in front of a room with a sign saying 'Bathroom' next to the door. I passed the door to find a room with just a small swimming pool of three by three blocks with a depth of two in the center. I undressed and put my clothes next to the pool.

"God damn it, I forgot how good it felt to take a bath. The water is just perfect, neither too hot or too cold..." I thought as I began to relax.

I didn't know how much time had past since I entered into the bath, maybe a few minutes, the thing was that I was daydreaming when the door opened. A little surprised by this, I quickly turned around to see Vanessa. There were bandages were the cut used to be and her clothes seemed to have been fixed. We stared at each other for a few second before both of our faces became red.

"What are you doing here, human ? It's MY turn to take a bath at this hour !" She spoke up, clearly upset.

"Sorry but your friend said I could take one now. Now, would you kindly close the door so I can get out and dress ?" I was trying to keep calm but it was very hard.

"Let me tell you one thing, it's not because you saved our lives that you have the right to stay here and do what you want. I don't like you and I'll tell you one more time, I don't trust you !"

"Yeah, that's why you told Ayumi the same thing you said to me ?" I asked her with a small smile.

"What are you talking about ?"

"Don't act like you don't know. I want you to answer me honestly. Where did you get those injuries ?" I continued to ask while looking at her with a serious look, almost intimidating.

Hearing those words made Vanessa even more angry. She began to sweat and she was stammering.

"I...I...You..."

Luckily for her, Ayumi arrived just in time. She looking like she had been running for her life.

"Sorry Mickael !" She spoke up after taking a short breath "I forgot to tell you about Vanessa. She usually take her bath at this time of the day. Come on, Vanessa, let Mickael finish !"

"No, it's alright Ayumi. I was leaving anyway. Could you just close the door, so I can get out !"

The door closed, I put my boxer, my pants and my armor. I took my bag and Exbarelyburn. I left the bathroom. Vanessa was standing in front of me, sliglty glaring at me and looking straight into my eyes. As for Ayumi, she was leaning against the wall with a pickaxe in each hand. Her bow was hung onto her back with a quiver full of arrows.

"Are you ready this time ?" SHe asked me.

"Yep, ready and prepared !"

We walked through the well lit tunnel for a few minutes until we came across an iron door.

"The mine is right behind this door. Take that, you will need it !" Ayumi said as she handed me an iron pickaxe.

We passed through the iron door and we entered the mine. It was a rather big tunned with some smaller other tunnels spreading out of the big one.

"Let's go this way, it looks like it hasn't been mined yet !" She spoke up as she pointed at the end of the tunnel.

"Sounds good to me !" I simply replied.

After a minute, we reached the end of the mine. I was amazed by how big it was, each tunnel was leading to another.

"Wow, Ayumi...Did you mine this all by yourself ?" I asked, looking around the place.

"What ? No, of course not. This mine connects multiple caves to make a single big one. Each mob who lives here can mine here to make it larger and, maybe, discover new ressources. There is only one rule in this mine : Finders, keepers !" Then, she pointed at a big tunnel dug into the stone "You see, if you go that way, you'll arrive in the home of three mob !"

"So you guys have neighbors ?"

"Yes..." She sighed " And pretty bad ones I would say. They are usually jerks to the other mobs of the caves !"

"Don't worry, I have dealt with jerks before, these ones are surely not different than the other !"

"You are right, exept they are really strong, even for their kinds. You really don't want to mess with them. Some of the other mobs even consider them royalty !" She replied, very seriously.

"...Wow, well, why don't we begin ?"

"You are right !" She said with a smile.

We began to mine into the wall of the cave by making a 2X2 blocks tunnel. My shoulder was still sore but I guessed working a little with it couldn't hurt. While mining, I noted that Ayumi was wanting to ask me something but probably didn't have to courage to say it. Thus, I asked first.

"You look like you want to ask me something..."

"Well...I have two question actually. First of all, what is this little back item you used to kill that 'Edun' ?"

I sighed, knowing exactly what she was talking about.

"Well, here we go !" I thought before I stopped mining and searched in my bag for my pistol. I pulled it out of the backpack and showed it to Ayumi. By the look on her face, she was amazed about the fact this little thing killed a 120 kilogram guy. I began to explain what it was :

"That little black item as you called it, is a weapon from where I lived. Just imagine a much smaller bow which shoot much smaller projectiles. Imagine that the arrows are going so fast, they are almost invisible to the eye !" Seeing her slowly nod with a raised eyebrow, I continued as I pointed the trigger of the gun "You see that ? It's called a trigger, each time you pull that thing, a little projectile is shot where your weapon is pointed at. That little projectile can go through flesh, light armor and some even wooden walls !"

"That's a little scary in my opinion. Anyone could make a massacre with a weapon this powerful !"

"Where I come from, weapons like theses nearly doomed us all. We almost destroyed ourselves !" I said, remembering what I had learnt in history with World War I and II by one of my trainer.

"But...if it is really that powerful, why did you use it at a last resort weapon ?" She asked.

"There are two main reasons, the first one is that this weapon use a special type of projectile called bullets and they don't exist here. I don't know if I could craft some, I have never tried. Thus, I try to use this weapon only if there are no other options. Second of all, if a king or any kind of royalty learn that I am in a possession of a very powerful weapon, they will surely try to find me. Then, they would kill me and use my weapon for their interests. Their best engineers could even replicate it if they really want to. Do you understand now ?"

"Y-Yes, I think so..."

"Good !" I put my pistold back into my bag. Then, I picked up my iron pickaxe and we resumed our mining work "What was the other thing you wanted to ask me ?"

"I also wanted to know a little more about you. I just know what you told me, that your parents are dead !"

"Well...I guess I could tell you a little more about my past !" I sighed.


15 years ago, Mickael's home, Mickael POV

"Happy birthday Mickael !" Both of my parents said in unison.

I could say I was one of the most happy young boy in my country. I had a loving father, Damien and a loving mother as well : Minna. My father was french while my mother was german. I inherited a little more from my father. We both had the same passions like...daydreaming ?...Is that even a legit activity ? No, seriously, we both liked spicy food, sports, video games...I also inherited a little bit from my mother's personality : She couldn't stand terrorism, murderer, bullies...Well, any kind of things that could injure innocent people.

...It has been so long...I can't even remember their faces anymore...

"It's my best birthday ever !" I said happily. I received a lot of gift from my parents that day and my mother even made my favorite cake : a chocolate cheesecake. She was really good at making that sort of food. We were a happy family with no real problem. My parents were loving each other, we were quite rich, I had some friends and good marks at school...A perfect life for a boy of my age. However, that day, I never expected my life would soon change dramatically.

I remember it was a saturday, during the winter and for my last gift, my parents decided to bring me to an amusement park. We took the road at 4am so it was still very dark outside. Apart from a car or two, most of the people were asleep, thus the streets were empty.

"So sweetheart, how long will it take us to go there ?" My mother asked to my dad.

"I would say two or three hours, depends on the traffic !"

"Best birthday ever !" I was still singing in the back seat of the car.

"I suppose you like your gift ?" My mother giggled.

"Yeaaahh !" I almost screamed.

"Wow Damien, we really surpassed ourselves this year. I never seen him this excited !"

"Meh, since he is three years old, he is like that every time !" He laughed.

We drove for thirty minutes, we needed to go through the entire city before reaching our destination. I didn't fall asleep because I was too excited. At one point, we were stopped at a red light and something caught my attention : Three large men entered the building close to us.

A minute later, there was a huge explosion inside the building, our car was thrown on the other side of the road and we finished upside down. My father wasn't moving and my mother was crying, few glass shards stuck in her skin. The building was on fire. Screams, dust and smoke were omnipresent in the street. I saw a woman jumping through the window of the third floor before crashing on the ground. I felt some blood drip down my forehead and I passed out.

When I woke up up, I was outside thecar and, exept the wound on my forehead, I was fine. I was lying on a stretcher with some pillows. I man noted that I was awake and walked to me.

"How are you doing, kid ?" He asked.

"Mommy ? Daddy ?" I asked back.

He sighed and slowly pointed to a place where two bodies were lying on the ground, motionless.

"I am sor..." I didn't wait for the rest of his answer as I runned to my parents.

I tried to call them, hopping they would wake up, in vain. The same man from before rejoined me. He was not alone though, he was with a woman, probably a psychologist. I didn't want one, I just wanted my parents to be alive, to hug me into their arms and tell me everything would be okay.

"I am sorry kid, we all are...We couldn't save them. It was already too late !"

I didn't listen and continued to call my parents. A third person went to us to see what was happening.

"Sophie, how is the young boy ?" He asked to his teammate.

"Pretty bad I would say. He doesn't suffer from any major injury but he is in state of shock. His father died instantly on impact, his neck snapped. As for the mother, she died of blood loss. That kid is the only survivor !"

"I see...I can't really blame him. I would surely be broken down too if I saw my parents die like this...Damn bastards, I hope they went in hell for this !" The man glared.

I began to cry out loud as I was taken to the hospital.


Present time, The mine, Mickael POV

"And that's how my parents died !" I finished the story.

While I was telling it, we continued to mine our tunnel. It was now pretty long. We had found some iron ore, enough to make a complete iron armor at least.

"I am sorry you had to go through that, but...what caused that explosion ?"

"The day after, I learnt the explosion was caused by terrorists !" I answered.

"Terrorists ?" What are these ?" She asked with curiosity in her voice.

"Seriously ? You don't know what a terrorist is ?" Seeing her nod negatively, I began to explain "Basically, it's someone that kills innocent peoples to claim the ideas of his group. The ones that killed my parents and many other that day were suicide bombers. Like the creeper for exemple !"

"But...creepers don't die when they explode, they just lose consciousness !"

"What ? But I thought...", "In the game, creepers die when they blow up. But, what if it is just to show that they are not able to fight anymore. No, that doesn't make sence either. For god's sake, they have a freacking TNT inside their bodies, how can they survive ?" I thought.

"Oh look, you found a diamond !" Ayumi got me out of my thought "Looks like it's your lucky day !"

I looked at Ayumi, then, in front of me. She was right, I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice the little blue gems shining from the stone. I mine the ore and a diamond popped out of it. I took it and put it in my bag along with the iron, the cobblestones and, of course, my pistol.

We continued to mine for an hour or two. We almost had a stack of iron ore, a few diamond, some gold and even some redstone powder. Ayumi kept telling me it was useless but I wanted to try and make some things with it. I was careful not to use my wounded shoulder too much. I couldn't take the rist to reopen the wound. I turned to Ayumi

"My bag is almost full. I think it's time we return to your cave. Seeing how Vanessa trust me, she must think I have killed you and runned away with all your ressources by now !" I joked

"Haha...Don't worry about it. She may not trust you but she is not paranoid. She knows I will return home, with you or not !"

We walked through the tunnel with dug and eventually returned to the main tunnel. We continued walking until we heard three distinct voices coming from a dozen meter in front of us. I turned to Ayumi to see her frown.

"Damn it !" She gritted her teeth "Quickl, come with me !"

"What ? Hey !"

She grabbed my hand and dragged me into one of the smaller tunnels. The voices were getting closer and closer. We could even hear what they were saying.

"That's them !" She said

"Who ?"

"The three mobs I talked about earlier. There is Corn : the creeper, Strodus : the enderman and finally Shika : the zombie. They are pretty much bullies around here. They judge all other kind of mobs beside theirs as errors of nature that shouldn't exist. Vanessa and I had serious trouble with them since we first arrived in this cave. Fortunatly, it's been quite a while since the last time I had to deal with them !" She explained as she shot a glance toward the group

"Want me to take care of them ?" I grinned as I pulled out my sword from its sheath and took a hero pose. Ayumi sighed, rolled and her eyes and lightly punched my wounded shoulder.

"Arrrrg, son of a...That hurts ! Why did you do this Ayumi ?" I asked, pressing my hand against my shoulder to try and ease the pain.

"Are you an idiot ? You are in no condition to fight, futhermore, they told me they hate human more than anything else. They would just attack you on sight and kill you in ten second flat. Let's just wait for them to go away !"

"Are you sure ?" I asked with some doubt in my voice.

"Yes, trust me !"

I couldn't see them but I could hear what they were saying.

"Another successfull mission !" A haughty voice spoke up

"Haha, you are right Strodus. Hey, Corn, how much do you think we can sell this ?" A female voice asked.

"I don't know Shika, maybe ten emeraulds. That thing looks quite precious !" Another voice answered.

"So, a female zombie huh...Wait a minute. In the game, zombies have a very good sence of smell. They can spot you from very far just by smelling the air !" I thought just a moment before Shika confirmed my fears.

"Hey guys, shut up. We are not alone here. There is someone else with us, just a few tunnels ahead !"

Ayumi quickly turned toward me and gave me a nod right before leaving our hiding place. It was clear that, in her head, if she reveals herself then I wouldn't be discovered.

"So, Ayumi, looks like you were spying on us..." The female zombie spoke up.

"No, I just happened to be passing by !"

"So Ayumi, it is said that some humans invaded your cave and tried to kill you and your little pet !"

A fraction of a second later, the creeper was grabbed by the collar of his sweat shirt by an angry Ayumi.

"Don't you dare insult Vanessa !" She glared at Corn before she realized something "Wait, how do you know that ?"

"Well..." The enderman answered "It was hard to not hear the screams. Sounds resonate easily between stone walls !"

"We even have a theory that you two had been saved by a human !"

"What makes you say that ?" Ayumi asked.

"We heard the sounds of iron swords clashing and we also heard the sound of a sort of TNT explosion. You always hated swords and you probably don't have the ingredients to make a TNT. That leaves only one possibility !"

""We seriously hope that it is not true. Otherwise, you would a shame to all living mobs in Minecraftia. You would be nothing more than a pitful insect jus good to be smashed. Just a..."

"Alright, Strodus, we understood. Anyway, I also have another proof...I can smell a human here !" The female zombie continued.

"Ah, shit...I am screwed, I am screwed, I am screwed !" I thought as I got ready to fight.

"Well, you are right. There was a human here. This coward runned away inside of this mine when I killed his teammates. I followed him and finished him !"

"Thank you Ayumi. I'll repay you for this !"

I picked an eye out of my hiding place. I had a clear view of the so-called bullies

Corn was a male creeper, probably around twenty year old. He had a green sweat shit and green pants. He was a redhead and had a TNT in his left hand.

Shika was a female zombie, looking between sixteen and eighteen years old. She was wearing a blue sweat and dark blue pants that were torn apart in some places. She also had green hair and was smaller than the other two.

Strodus was a male enderman, probably around twenty-two years old. He was wearing a black suit with a mangenta shirt. He was also wearing black pants, a black tie and maganta glasses. He had brown hair. He was the taller of the group which is normal for someone of his kind.

By the time I finished studying them, their conversation was over.

"Whatever, 'skeleton', see you next time !" The enterman said before teleporting away.

"Notch damn it, Strodus always forget to teleport us with him !" The zombie looked quite angry.

"Let's go Shika. See you around 'Grotty' !" The creeper replied before walking through the tunnel pushing Ayumi on his way who fell on her butt. The two mob disappeared into a dark tunnel, a meter from where I was hiding. Not seeing them anymore, I walked up to Ayumi. I handed my hand to help her get on her feet !"

"Are you okay Ayumi ? Ayumi ?" I called her.

"Maybe they are right...Maybe I am a shame because I let you, a human, save me !" She replied looking at the ground.

I picked her face and made her look right into my eyes.

"You. Are. Not. A shame Ayumi. If I didn't take part in this expedition, you would have killed my teammates easily. You are more than capable of handling yourself. Now, get up, Vanessa is surely waiting for us, well...more you, to come back !"

"You are right..." She replied with a smile.

She took my hand and, after helping her get back on her feet, we returned back to our cave.

"There we are, now, take off your armor. I am going to change your bandage. Wait for me !"

I did what I was told and waited for Ayumi to come back. She eventually did but with nothing in her hand and a worried look on her face.

"Mickael, we are out of bandages. We need Vanessa to make some cobwebs so I can craft some, but I can't seem to find her anywhere !"

"Do you have an idea where she could be ?"

"I already looked inside of her room, the bathroom and around her chest. She wasn't there !" She answered.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find her !"

"Thanks, we will have better chance if we separate. I'll search inside of the mine, you, search all the other rooms of our cave !"

With that being said, we began the search. We looked for Vanesa for one long hour but we still hadn't find her. While Ayumi was still searching for her inside of the mine, I looked everywhere in their cave. It was quite big with a lot of room but Vanessa was not in one of them. Only one was remaining, the storage room. I entered, it was pretty dark and I could hardly see something. I took one of the torch that was hanging to the wall outside the storage room and began the search

"Vanessa ! Vanessa ! Are you there ?" I asked multiple times.

I was starting to loose hope until I heard some kind of weeping behind some cobblestone blocks. I climbed them to see a badly injured Vanessa. She had a black eye, some bruises on her face and most of her bandages were ripped apart. She was holding a small picture torn in half.

"Holy shit...Vanessa !"

"AYUMI ! I FOUND HER !" I shouted, hopping the woman archer would hear. I then turned to the little girl.

"Vanessa, what happened to you ?"

She didn't respond to me and her eyes were still focused on the picture she was holding. She was crying and tears were dripping down her cheeks. I wanted to know what was so important in this picture so I approached her. My expression quickly changed to one of herror. That picture...was the exact same picture from her pendant. More exactly, it was the one from her pendant.

"Vanessa..." I began.

"MICKAEL !" I heard Ayumi calling my name "WHERE ARE YOU ?"

"IN THE STORAGE ROOM. QUICK, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED !"

A minute later, I saw Ayumi bursting inside the room.

"Where is she ?" She asked.

"Up here !" I waved at her.

Ayumi climbed the blocks and the saw the exact same thing as me. A pretty injured Vanessa who was holding the picture of her pendant.

"Oh my Notch...Vanessa...your pendant...what happened ?" She started.

"They...They took it !" She explained between sniffs

"Can you tell us what happened ?" I asked. I knew she wasn't trusting me but I really wanted to help.

"Vanessa looked at me, then at Ayumi before she began to tell us what happened.


1h30 hour ago, Ayumi and Vanessa's cave, Vanessa POV

"That idiot, why does he think that I lied to him and Ayumi. I swear, if Ayumi wasn't here, I would give him a piece of my mind !" I said to myself as I was walking around our home.

I sat down against a wall and pulled out my pendant, the last thing that is left of my family. Just to think this human laid his hands on it...Bah. When I looked at the picture, I began to remember the good old times I spent with my sister.

"Hey, look at who is here. A pathetic insect !" I heard someone say.

I looked up and saw three familiar mobs staring down at me, the three jerks. I didn't like them in the slightest.

"What are you doing here ?" I asked them in an aggressive manner.

"We just wanted how you were doing after the attack !" Shika replied with an innocent smile. On her face

"Cut the bullcrap Shika. What do you want ?"

"This..." The enderman said before snatching the pendant out of my hands.

"HEY GIVE THAT BACK !" I ordered as I got up and tried to run after him. The other two placed themselves in front of me to block me from getting back my belonging. I attempted to pass by force by force, but no avail. They were too strong for me. The enderman opened my pendant and looked at the picture with disgust.

"Bah, spiders will always repulse me !"

"DON'T INSULT ME, SHE WAS BETTER THAN YOU THREE COMBINED AND SHE ALWAYS WILL BE !" I was so angry at them that I snapped. The creeper must have not liked it because I was punched on the cheek a second later.

"They don't know when to stop !" He then sad.

"Did you say 'Was' ?" The enderman noticed "I assume she is dead now. I don't know why you keep that picture if she is dead, you better throw it away. Here, let me do that for you !"

I watched in horror as the enderman ripped the picture apart from my pendant and tore it up in two.

"No, no...no !" I said.

I began to struggle vigorously and I managed to push the other two away from me. I runned to the enderman. I wanted to punch him for what he did to me. I tightened my fist and brang it down on his face. To my surprise, I hit nothing but air. The enderman teleported a second later and was now behind me. I turned to face him but immediatly felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I fell on the floor, coughing and unable to breathe.

"Pathetic, you seriously thought you could hit me ?" The enderman smiled "I am an enderman, the strongest mob alive. You, on the other hand, are just a weak spider. That's why your sister is dead !"

He then began to kick me again and again. The other two joined him soon after and hit all my body. When they were finished, I was almost unable to move. I was crying my eyes out even though I didn't want them to see me like that. The enderman crouched over my face and said :

"I hope you will not be upset, but we are going to keep your pendant. We could sell it and make some money. Do you understand...oh, I don't care !"

After that, I saw the enderman touch his teammates and teleport away, leaving me badly wounded. I just had the force to pick up the pieces of my pendant's picture before going to the storage room where Mike found me.


Present time, Ayumi and Vanessa's cave, Mickael POV

After Vanessa finished her story, she continued to weep silently. I was angry at those mobs and the word is really weak. I turned to Ayumi to see that she seemed furious, her eyes full of hate. I felt bad for Vanessa, I wanted her to trust me but I didn't do the same for her even though she was telling the truth.

"Someone is going to have a really bad day..."

"...Huh ?" She looked at me, hopping for a more clear answer.

I didn't respond as I left the storage room, put my armor on and prepared myself to leave.

"I'll go with you, I promised her sister that I would keep her safe and I failed. I am going to make them regret what they did !" I heard Ayumi ay behind me.

"No, stay with her. She obviously needs someone she can trust right now. But be sure to have some bandages, because their will be blood and most of it won't be mine !" I responded.

"But...your wound..."

"Does it look like I care ?" I replied.

I didn't wait for her answer and walked through the tunnel that led to the mine...
