I jumped back and looked up just in time to see the Wither tear the head off of David's body. I was baffled. No, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? I rushed forward in anger and grief. There was nothing I could do for David and I knew that. I took a swing at the Wither. I swung again and again blindly. My new friend. Dead. Because of me. Because I wanted to train so I could prevent exactly that. I shook my head. I needed to get it together. I began running back to camp. I screamed, "WITHER! THE F**KING WITHER!" Everyone came out of their tents with some kind of weapon.
Tori fired arrows at the Wither's projectiles so that they didn't reach the others and I. Candy had a sword along with me and Nathan. Jason held two axes made of diamond and one of iron. While Tori was distracting the beast Jason ran up behind it and threw the iron ax violently at it. It hit the back of the head in the middle. It turned around and started at him. Tori turned to get more arrows. One of the heads had twisted around and shot another, smaller head at her. No one could save her in time.
Her tiny body was launched into the air as if in slow motion. The arrows from her hand had been launched with her. Her body flung against a rock and we all heard a crack that will never be erased from our minds. One of the arrows that had been released from her hand had found it's way to her eye and pinned her head to the rock. Tori was gone. Tears were running from all of our eyes but Jason seemed to be in the most emotional pain.
He threw himself at the monster. He was blinded by rage. We all shouted at him to stop, compose himself. But he didn't listen. Now he too was launched into the air. His face was half singed from the flames. The burns traveled down his body all the way to his left ankle. His body smacked the ground and his skull and rib cage caved in. His body was twisted in ways that shouldn't even be imagined. Nathan, Candy and I screamed.
We fought with all our might. Our heads were in the game the entire time but it wasn't good enough. Nathan had been speared through the chest by a branch. He had been flung into the forest and had been peirced through the heart. Blood dripped down the tree trunk and splattered on the ground.
Candy had been thrown into a strange black portal. I reached for her but when I pulled at her arm that was all I was left with. A dis embodied arm. I had tears streaming down my face. I clutched the remaining limb of my twin to my chest and face and sobbed. I then stood up and wiped the tears from my face. I slowly limped towards the Wither, my death awaiting me. I opened my arms and closed my eyes. I heard that sickening noise that the monsters jaw made when it unhinged. I heard the projectile soar through the air. I felt the burn of the flames on my skin and the breaking of every bone of mine. I smiled...
And then I opened my eyes.
"What a terrible dream."
I whispered to myself.
