Disclaimer: Yep, still don't own Minecraft, but I do own the two OCs Aurora and Phillip and the lovely storyline.
Aurora awoke to a bright morning sun peeking over the horizon. She groaned and covered her head with her pillow. Sunrise was not her usual waking time. Oh well, she thought, might as well get up. She pushed herself into a sitting position, yawned, and rubbed her tired eyes. Aurora glanced around her small oaken house. It was a plain space containing only her two chests, a crafting bench, a furnace, and an anvil, which was the most recent addition to her home. Aurora stood up and stretched. She opened one of her chests and pulled out a steak. Eating the steak, she closed the chest and glanced out the window. The sun was now barely above the horizon, the sunrise a melded set of bright orange, pink, and pastel purple. Aurora watched as the zombies and skeletons burst into flames, due to the bright light. The two species of mobs began scrambling frantically in search of shade to hide in.
Once the sunrise had faded into the blue of day Aurora stood and retrieved her tools from one of the chests. The equipment consisting of a iron pickaxe, iron axe, twenty steaks, twenty wood planks, and, most importantly, her iron sword. She proceeded as if it was a normal day, that is until she remembered what she had to tell her friends. Exiting the house quickly, she scrambled to Phillip's house, as Steve was already up and watching her, perplexed, as she ran. Phillip answered the door, ready to start the day, his iron sword in his hand.
"Mornin' Aurora," He said.
"I have something important to tell you and Steve," Aurora said quickly, "follow me!" Not waiting for him to respond, she ran to Steve, relaying the same message. She then darted into her house and the two men followed her.
Aurora shut the door and looked around outside to see if anyone else had seen her running around. She turned to the two and pulled the book from her inventory.
"Herobrine is after me!" She blurted out. Her friends just stared at her.
"Herobrine is not real," Phillip replied with a sigh.
"Shows how much you know!" Steve said to Phillip, his voice was trying to crack, but hadn't yet, "How do you know this, Aurora?"
"Ever since we went to that abandoned cabin in the forest, I've felt like something is watching me," She replied, "Then, last night as I went home, I saw two glowing, white, pupil-less eyes staring at me. Not to mention, the book I found is actually the journal of the previous resident. Apparently she had the same problem as I do!" Steve now had panic written all over his face, Phillip on the other hand was as calm as could be.
"It must be a hoax," Phillip said, "a very elaborate hoax." Steve was now pacing around and mumbling to himself in panic. The feeling had returned, stronger than before. Aurora shivered and shot a glance at her back window. She made a noise somewhere between a squeak and whimper. There he was, on the hill, staring at her. Steve and Phillip paused and looked where she was looking.
"Herobrine!" Steve's voice cracked dramatically, as he ran from the window into the corner of Aurora's house. Phillip stared on, examining what appeared to be Herobrine staring at us. Aurora noted that he looked just like Steve, except for the eyes and his mouth, unlike Steve's, was in a constant smile, a really creepy smile.
"Let's go check it out," Phillip said, curiosity rampaging on his face. No sooner than he said that, a thick fog appeared and slowly Herobrine faded from view. Steve was mumbling something along the lines of 'We're all gonna die' as Aurora and Phillip looked though all the windows searching for any remaining trace of Herobrine, but could find none. Phillip whispered something to himself and turned to Aurora.
"This is strange," He said, "no one can change the weather so quickly, except for the world owner, and he's not here right now." Aurora sighed and glanced at Steve, who just now got up and was now looking though a window every second. Steve was never this scared, let alone scared at all, and Phillip was not a superstitious person, he would never admit to Herobrine's existence.
The three decided to get on with their day and go in search of material for new armor.
"Hey guys! Look a cave!" Aurora called to Phillip and Steve. Steve ran up to her and saw the cave which was just large enough for them to fit into. Phillip walked up to her side.
"Looks like we'll have to go down single file," He said, "Everyone have their full stack of torches?" Steve and Aurora both nodded, it had taken them FOREVER to get all that coal. Steve volunteered to go first, Aurora in the middle, and Phillip bringing up the rear. The three carefully stepped deeper and deeper into the cave, placing torches and harvesting coal and iron as they went. A strange noise echoed though the cave. Phillip smiled and mined in the direction of the sound. Aurora and Steve grinned like kids on Christmas. There was a spawner nearby. The three mined the same spot until they came to a small area. The area contained a couple of chests and what looked to be a metal cage in the center. Inside that cage a miniature cave spider, it wasn't an actual cave spider, spun around and around. The moment they stepped into the area three cave spiders spawned and hissed at them. Cave spiders were like regular spiders, except they were smaller, blueish-green colored and had venom. The three pulled out their swords and proceeded to attack the spiders. Just then two more cave spiders spawned.
"Steve! Destroy the spawner!" Phillip shouted over his shoulder as he killed one of the spiders. Steve nodded and switched his sword to his pickaxe and began hacking at the small one block cage. Aurora managed to kill the spider she'd been attacking when she heard a shout.
"Aurora, watch out!" She heard Steve scream just as a cave spider jumped her from behind and sunk his fangs into her shoulder. Phillip ran over and hacked off the spider's head and proceeded to kill the remaining two. Blood poured from Aurora's shoulder and the skin around the bite turned a sickly green. Steve destroyed the spawner and looked at Phillip who was examining the bite.
"Check the chests for milk buckets and food," he said to Steve who nodded quickly and turned to check one while Phillip checked the other. Aurora was in agony as the poison coursed though her veins. Death by venomous cave spiders was not how she wanted to go. It was just then when she heard a deep rumbling voice.
"Follow me," it said from deeper in the cave which they'd been in. She looked at her two friends who were searching frantically, they seemed not to have heard the voice. There wasn't any milk or food in those chests judging by the way they were throwing things around inside the chests. So Aurora followed the voice, the poison green now covering her shoulder.
She stumbled out into the cave and saw a chest randomly sitting in the middle of the four block walkway they'd been in moments ago. Looking around suspiciously she approached the chest. If I'm already gonna die why would it be a trap? Maybe it's a trap for my friends, she thought to herself and shrugged. Aurora opened the chest awaiting a trap to kill her. When nothing happened, she looked into the chest and found a bucket of milk and a note. She drank the milk quickly and just as the sickly green of poison had gone halfway down her arm and onto her neck, it vanished leaving the two fang marks which, thank Notch, had stopped bleeding. She then looked at the strange note and in red ink, at least she thought it was ink, and in large jagged letters it read, "A cure -Herobrine". She shivered but mumbled a thank you to Herobrine and headed back to her friends, who had just finished searching the chests. Phillip noticed she was fine and dragged her into a tight hug, which she returned while blushing. She could hear him mumble something along the lines of "Don't scare me like that". Steve gave her a quick hug and patted her on the back. Neither of them asked her questions about how she'd found milk and just quickly raided the chests. The loot consisted of four saddles, five obsidian blocks, four iron ingots, and a full set of iron armor.
"Hey! We can finally get horses!" Steve said excitedly, and Phillip and Aurora smiled.
They went home after the 'cave spider incident' and Aurora flopped onto her bed after putting away her equipment and her share of the loot: two saddles and the full set of iron armor. She decided to read the next entry of the journal. The next entry was about two days after the first.
I ran out of food recently and cannot find food anywhere. I thought I might starve to death. That is until I heard a deep rumbling voice. "Follow me" it said and I, thinking Herobrine was leading me into a trap to finally end my life, followed it. What I found was a chest in front of my door. I opened it to find a full stack of steaks and a note. In red ink jagged letters it said "For you -Herobrine". By now I was pretty sure I had gone mad. That was until I looked back up and HE was staring at me, watching me. I thanked him for the food, yes, pretty sure I have gone mad. He nodded and a thick fog appeared and vanished. He must be either toying with me or he doesn't want me dead.
Aurora shivered after reading that and the feeling returned. She glanced out the window into the dark night. The sounds of mobs surrounded the house as she scanned the darkness and came to rest on a pair of white glowing eyes, about six block away from her house.
"I'm not afraid of you Herobrine," She said. The deep rumbling voice answered.
"Good" She frowned and got up from her bed to press her head against the window, Herobrine had moved so he was now right next to the window staring at her. Aurora flinched at being so close to this white glowing eyed apparition but kept staring right back at him though the window.
"What do you want," she practically growled to him. He tilted his head to the side.
"Isn't it obvious?" He said slowly in his deep grumbling voice, like he hadn't spoken in a long time. He probably hadn't considering he apparently kills Minecrafters rather than talking to them. He vanished into the fog one more. Aurora groaned in frustration and flopped back onto her bed. The last thing she said before she slipped into sleep was something along the lines of "Stupid creepy ass, fucking stalker".
