Silent Lovers Ch. 8
He'd made the command, looking over me with lazy eyes.
"Follow me."
Herobrine strode past me, through the thicket of trees and foliage, expertly stepping over branches along with other obstacles in his path.
I weighed my options, I could follow him but risk losing my life, charge at him with force and questions but risk my life even more so, or run away.
The latter meant never knowing why Herobrine killed Jacob, along with never testing to see if I can trust myself with running away from my problems yet again.
I decided to follow him through the snowy path.
We walked for a long period of time, the stars above me as my only trusted companion, walking with a vow of silence.
Herobrine had stopped walking up ahead, I guess he was waiting for me. Though such a kind gesture doesn't mean I will forgive him, I thought with a sneer.
I came up beside him and asked, "What now?"
"We wait." he answered, not facing me.
I was about to answer with a sarcastic remark, but decided against it. I don't want this monster to think we could get all friendly and talk to each other so casually.
I looked around, there was a frozen lake and some boulders scattered around on the otherwise empty clearing.
I walked around, glancing every now and again back at Herobrine because of how paranoid I was that he was going to take out an axe and chop me to pieces.
Even if you did, you bet your ass I won't go without a fight, I made up scenes in my head of a dramatic fight sequence of me and him.
He smacked me in the head with the blunt end of the axe. I fell but recovered quickly, sliding my leg across the snow, tripping him in the process.
I regained my composure, getting into a fighting stance and readying a hidden blade.
We charged at each other, yelling cries of war and death, the ultimate showdown. Our weapons ready to delve themselves into the others skull...
My thoughts rambled on, only to be interupted by Herobrine's rough voice.
"We can go in now." he said with a bored tone in his voice.
I raised an eyebrow at his statement, turning around to question him but my eyes fell on the swirling purple vortex in the middle of the frozen lake.
Is this what we were waiting for? I've only heard of portals like these through ancient books and legends.
"This is a portal to the Nether dimension." I said as a statement, rather than a question. I had a feeling of dread as I inched closer to the portal, strange, garbled noises emitted through as purple flecks swirled through the air surrounding it.
"Darling ladies first." Herobrine stood near the portal, bowing with his arms gesturing at the vortex.
"Why thank you, Mr. Gentleman." I said maliciously, he had the nerve to act civil and mannered in front of me?
What a huge, fucking insult.
I stared at Camille, she hadn't stepped into the portal, neither has she gotten any closer.
Her face showed disgust and anger, though that is to be expected.
Not all can appreciate what I've done, I thought to myself.
"Camille, I promise I will answer all that you need to know, but you must step through this portal first. I'll help clear those questions in your head, but I must show you something." I tried to assure her, being successful in convincing her because she came near the portal.
Her hand was hesitant, one grasping the obsidian frame, the other shaking towards the vortex with anxiety.
"How do I know I can trust you?" She asked yet another question. Her eyes looked at me with the innocence and fear of a young child.
She truly was such a beautiful being, indeed.
"You can trust me because I know, Camille. I know what you've been through, the massacre?" I hinted at her past. I assumed it triggered something in her, eyes widening and mouth agape.
How did he know? I did everything I could to erase myself and run away from that so long ago, I thought that I had finally escaped.
I guess I had thought wrong.
My mind flooded itself with yet even more questions, mysteries yet to be solved, some I sensed will never get answered.
Instead of asking another question, I just clamped my mouth shut and faced the portal.
I placed one foot in, and another, then my whole body had entered the portal.
I felt my body become encased in a feeling of emptiness and heat. I could only hear the same sound that came out of the portal earlier, only this time it had been amplified.
When I had reopened my eyes, The first thing I saw was a red fortress standing so starkly against the flaming area.
Horror brimmed my eyes yet again, I was in Hell. I knew it, for the fires that loitered around like strays and disgustingly red matter filled the place.
I felt alone, so very alone.
Been getting writer's block, as per usual so I apologize for the slow updates and mildly lower quality in recent chapters.
BTW: If you do not appreciate the swearing, I apologize for that as well. U^U Swearing will show up in later chapters, sorry to inform those.
