"Instead, They assigned Her a Caretaker, someone to keep Her in a coma for all time."
"Who was the Cawertaker, Mommy?" Max asked, sounding sleepy.
"It was a Minecrafter named Jeb. He was extremely loyal to the Gods, so he was very happy that They had chosen him. But he was mortal, he knew this. So he trained his only child to be a Caretaker. Then that child trained their child, and then their child, and on and on. Some believe that the line of Jeb is still alive. I do." Ender explained while tucking her child in bed.
"How do you know abwout this Mommy?" Max said to her mother, a accusing note in her voice.
"I'll show you tomorrow. Goodnight, Max. Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite.*" Ember smiled as she closed the door, Max was her life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Done!" Max shouted happly as she slammed her bowl onto the table.
"That was quick," Ember chuckled "are you sure you don't have a hollow leg?" Max looked down at her legs.
"I don' know. What's a ollow leg feel like?" Ember chuckled again.
They started out of the house and onto a path Max had been told never to traverse.
Suddenly they stopped walking. "Mommy, why is we in front of the scwary house?" Max hid behind Ember as she said this. The 'scwary house' wasn't even a house, it was a shed, but it was quite spooky. It was falling apart, glass was shattered everywhere and small spikes of wood poked out of the roof and walls.
Ember picked up the frightened five year old and carefully walked around the debris. When they were in the middle of of the room Ember leaned down and whispered "I shall watch over She who reside in the chamber, I shall not allow Her to wake, I shall take my last breath before I let Her escape. The Gods have given me a word so I can enter the place where She rests, I speak that word now: Ender." Max noticed that her mother's tone had changed when she spoke, it had... Shivered.
"Mommy!" Max shouted.
"Hush, Maxie, hush. It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you." Ember soothed, holding Max close.
Max looked around in wonder when Ember let her go. They had entered a cavern without Max noticing. In the middle of the cavern lay a person shaped lump on a soft bed.
"Mommy." Max whispered, not wanting to disturb the silence.
"Yes, Max?" Ember said, equally quiet.
"Tats Endwer, isn't it?" Max pointed at the bed. "When you talked you voice got shivery. You sayed tat the Gwods gave you a wowrd, the wowrd was Hewr name."
Ember laughed. "I always knew you were special. Max, you have a gift. I was speaking the Gods language, only a rare few can understand it. Only one in the last thousand years." Ember smiled at Max, joy and love in her eyes.
"And you are right, that is Ender. When you're older and I am gone -don't worry, that won't be for a while now- you will keep the world safe by-" Ember was cut off when an arm wrapped around her throut, choking her.
"Mommy!" Max screamed.
"You were wrong about two things, my dear Ember. One, that is not Ender on the bed, just rumpled sheets. Two, it will actually be quite soon." Max had just enough time to notice that the person's voice shivered(not fully, almost like an accent), before Her mother's neck was snapped to the side with a crack. The person stepped back, letting Ember's body fall to the floor.
"Mommy?" Max whimpered, crying.
"Such a shame, her name was quite close to my own." The person, who Max now saw, was a women with hair so black Max could not see where one strand started and ended. When the women turned to study Max, Max saw that She had swirling purple eyes.
"You'we Endwer, and you killed my mommy." Max said, staring into Ender's eyes, hatred burning in her own.
"Yes. While you are a child and aparrently a Akroatìś. I know you are, otherwise you wouldn't know that your mother's blood shall give me back my power." Ender smiled a cruel smile as Max attacked Her. She quickly threw the child to the ground. Suddenly, chains wrapped around Max, keeping her from moving.
"Mommy!" She screamed.
"Be quiet!" Ender snapped. She lifted Ember's body from the ground and disappeared.
"Mommy...Mommy!" Max sobbed, on the cold hard floor. Two hours later she cried herself to sleep.
An hour after that, a figure appeared, Ember had not checked in for over 6 hours, He was sure it was nothing, but He had to make sure. When He stepped into the cavern and saw a small figure chained to the ground He rushed over. It was Ember's child, she looked like she had been crying. But where was her mother? He knew that Max was Ember's life, the only reason Ember wouldn't be around was because she...was...
He rushed over to the bed, nothing. Ender had escaped.
*Bedbugs are real, I have had them. ******* neighbours*
888 Words, Awesome! Thank you Ninjagorulz for the suggestion. I think I'll ask her only to read and tweak my story where there's battle scenes. If she says no then I'll just see what I can do. And yes, I will be making a sequel! I don't have a name for it yet though. I will update this and tell you the name when the first chapter is up. You could give me name suggestions though, -wink wink-.
Thank you for reading my story, it was very fun to write!
