Hey guys! What's up? So this chapter, we are going to really get into everything. We get more into Shade and Turtlelove, we find out more about Shade himself, and we find out a little more about Herobrine. *Insert creepy music here*
Anyways here we go!
Chapter 5
Turtlelove POV
When we get out of the hotel, it's a whole different world from when we came just two days ago. From our window, we couldn't see the new prisons being built, or the mass graves, or the ender pearls the entire army seems to be using. They appear to be enchanted to take the person to a specific place, but I don't know where they would go other than the prison.
We walk quickly toward the edge of the city, but not quick enough to attract trouble. I'm worried about Shade because he looks more nervous by the second. He keeps darting his eyes from solider to solider, never looking at them for more than a few seconds. I wonder if he recognizes any of them since he spent most of his life there, but I don't ask. I'm afraid if I do, he'll shout. Then we would be screwed.
We make it about half-way through the city before we're stopped. "Identification?" The soldier asks.
Amanda gives him her biggest smile. "I'm Jacy and this is my sister Macy."
I wave a shy hello at the man hoping that I look convincing.
"What about you?" He addresses Shade, but Amanda cuts in before he can say anything.
"Oh, this is our brother, Adam."
Amanda is positively beaming at this guy and I'm surprised her face hasn't split in two. I notice things about him though while I'm standing there. He has a familiar face, but I don't know where I would have met him before. Then I see a scar down his face and I remember something Amanda said after the attack in the forest.
It's impossible that one of them got away. None of them could have. I cut their faces with my claws to blind them. I just don't know how he's gone...
When I look up at his face again, I see a scar running across the right side of his forehead, down to his right temple. Then I know exactly who he is.
He seems to have figured it out to because he says, "I'm sorry, but you'll all have to come with me."
Amanda knows right after I do that he recognizes us. She pulls out her bow, loads an arrow, and holds it level with his throat. "No. I'm afraid we can't gowith you at this time." She lets the arrow fly. It lodges itself in the man's throat and he falls to his knees.
We start running then. We don't care who sees us anymore because we already know that everyone knows who we are, where we are, and where we're headed. When I notice that Shade isn't beside me, I almost stop running.
I shout. "Amanda! We lost Shade!"
"I don't think he's dead!" She shouts back. "I think he said something about holding them off, and that he would catch up with us later!"
I'm determined then to keep going. As long as Shade thinks he'll be okay, I will run as far as I have to. I'll find the safest spot between here and the mountains to set up camp. Shade will come after a while covered in blood that isn't his, apologize for taking a while. I won't mind as long as we are all safe.
So to make this vision come true, I will run. And run, and run, and run.
Herobrine POV
He stands in his study, waiting expectantly for his son. He knew he would arrive soon, so there he stood. Waiting. He knew they were in Spawn City because of a tip-off from one of his spies. He had sent his army there to take over the city; not destroy it. He knew they would kill her if they had orders to destroy it, but with orders to take control, well then anything suspicious gets either reported, or brought to him personally.
His son took that moment to warp into his office using one of the ender pearls from his soliders. The pearls were of his own design. They had been enchanted to take whomever used them, directly to him. His son stood there waiting, strong and confident despite the fact he stood in front of Herobrine.
"Hello Shade."
"Hello father." Shade replied.
"What information have you brought me about the girl?"
"She will come. They are heading for the mountains now to find the portal. They will come, soon. They are waiting for me outside of the city because I said I would hold off your men. Of course, I didn't have to though. None of them tried to touch me." He smirks at his own power over his father's army.
"Good. So they will come?"
"Yes. Soon." His son assured him.
"Well, you'd better not keep them waiting." He grins a wicked grin, handing his son an ender pearl designed to take him back to the girl. "Make sure she isn't injured when she arrives."
"Of course not." His son says. Then he uses his special pearl, and vanishes.
Soon her power would be his, and he could finally be immortal. Soon, he would be powerful enough to take on Notch, and show this world what it truly means to rule. They would regret the day they defied him. They would regret the day they said he was a myth, and dismissed him into nothing more than a bad dream.
Turtlelove POV
Shade returns shortly after we set up camp like I knew he would. He's panting, sweating, and almost collapses because he's so exhausted. I'm not surprised that he's this tired, so I'm prepared. We don't have any beds to set up, but I made do with a few pieces of wool. He sits down and reclines against the tree behind him.
"Hey." He says between gasps of breath.
"So tell me. When did you get the biggest hero complex I've ever seen and almost kill yourself wanting to save us?" I joke.
"Well," Shade smiles and pretends to think about it. "Probably right after I knew that they wanted to hurt you if they ever caught you. So I just didn't let them catch you."
We both smile and for that moment, everything is perfect.
Then Amanda speaks up. "You guys, I meant this as a temporary camp so that Shade could catch up with us. Now that he has, I would like to pick this up and keep walking."
"Alright." Shade and I agree. We pick up his makeshift bed and set off toward the mountains.
We don't have to run on our way to the portal because we aren't technically being chased. Still, Amanda keeps her bow loaded, and I have my knife close by my hand in my belt. I got it off of one of the dead soldiers in town. Shade doesn't have a weapon though so I begin to wonder exactly how he held off the army of men that was after us. When I ask him about it, he just shrugs and says that he was able to use one of their guns. Then when I ask why he didn't keep it, he gets a little nervous looking and shows me his hand.
His hand is covered in blood. His blood. There's a deep gash along his wristline and several smaller cuts coat his palm. "Shade!" I cry. I stop walking immediately and sit down in the field with him. "What happened?" I demand. Then I feel the pain. White hot pain that he's experiencing in his hand right now. I almost cry out because it's so intense.
He tries to play it cool and says, "One of the guys pulled a knife behind me. I dropped the gun when he cut me, but I'm okay."
"No you're not." I insist. I ask Amanda for the stuff I put in her purse. She hands me my potions and I go to work. First, I give him a pain-killer because, as much as he doesn't want to admit it, he's in a lot of pain. He sighs with relief when I give it to him and I laugh. Then I give him the real medicine for the cut. It takes a minute, but then it begins to sparkle and I know he'll be fine. He watches with pure fascination as his cuts sparkle, close, and disappear completely. Not a single scar is left behind.
"Wow." He breaths. He touches it softly as if he couldn't believe what he just saw. I don't blame him though because he probably hasn't seen that before.
Apparently, Amanda hasn't either because she's standing to the side of him, mouth open, hardly daring to breathe. "How did you..." The question dies on her lips as she continues to stare at Shade's hand.
"I've known how for a long time." I shrug. It had never occurred to me that they didn't know much about the fact that I was a shaman as well as part turtle. I guess that would look cool to someone who hadn't seen it before.
Shade stands, his hand forgotten, and kisses me lightly. "Thanks." He says.
Now Amanda's mouth is all the way open, and her eyes, which I thought were as big as they could get, become even wider until it looks like they might just fall out of her head. She shakes it off and says, "Well, I guess that answers the question of what you two did yesterday."
I just smile as Shade holds me close to him for a minute. Then he breaks his grip, we pick up the bottles I used, and set off again in the direction we were heading.
We get closer to the mountains with every step, and with every step my anxiety grows. What will we find when we get there? Is Kitsune even still alive? Will we find Kit? All of these questions and several more start bouncing around in my head.
We finally make it to a point where the forest ends, but the fields of flowers keep going. We don't have a much longer way to go and even though it's the middle of the day, we stop. All three of us are tired, and we can take this opportunity now to set up a small camp, eat, and get a full night's rest. Which we all desperately need. Shade tries to hide it though, he says he isn't tired, but he cares too much about me to make me go further when he knows I can't.
"I'm going to hunt. You two can either sit here and smooch," Amanda says laughing. "or you can make yourselves useful and chop down a couple trees before we get too far from the forest."
When Amanda leaves I turn to Shade. "You heard her. Let's go get some wood."
Kit POV
I'm being taken to yet another 'meeting' with Him. I find it strange that I haven't been knocked out. Ever since I arrived here, anytime they took me anywhere, I was knocked out first. Instead, I'm on my own two feet, which is almost worse in a way. It's like walking to your death; willingly.
I'm brought to the room He always seems to be in when I come to see him but this time, something else is here. I look over and see an Enderman in the corner. Instinctively, I drop my gaze. Enderman only attack you when you look them in the eyes. Since I have no intention in being the target of this one, I don't look up until He starts talking. Something I notice before he does though, is the fact that I haven't been tied to a chair. I silently scream in my mind.
"Hello, Kit." Herobrine turns around with a menacing glare, but yet, he still smiles a wicked grin as if he's done something wonderful. I hope to Notch it doesn't have to do with the Enderman.
In a flash, Herobrine tells his guards to leave and we are alone. Just him, me, and a freaking Enderman. Oh dear lord.
"I suppose you're wondering why you're here alone." He sneers.
"Actually, I wasn't because I figured you would tell me." I smile at him in the most sarcastic way possible.
Well if there's one thing I've learned, sarcasm is a good way to piss him off. He slaps me across the face. "You will not be that way in here, girl." He calms down (if that's possible) and continues. "I would like to introduce you to my friend, Ender."
Herobrine gestures toward the Enderman. It walks over to stand beside him and I keep my gaze down. Ender gurgles.
"Ender is a special kind of Enderman," Herobrine explains. "As you know, most Enderman get angry when you look them in the eyes, but Ender doesn't." He smiles as if this explains everything. I feel as though I'm in a classroom and he just taught his students how to spit on puppies properly.
I look up to test Herobrine's words. I look into Ender's eyes as if to challenge him, but he just stands there. Then I see something strange. A normal Enderman has purple eyes. This one has dark green eyes like nothing else I've ever seen. For a moment, I'm fascinated, but then I come back to reality.
"Ender's eyes are green because he has a special power that no other Enderman has." I'm puzzled as Herobrine continues. "He can teleport to different locations like the other ones, but he can also," He pauses, then continues. "teleport into Minecraftians."
As if on cue, the thing disappears. I haven't completely understood what Herobrine is talking about. He seems quite pleased though. Before I can say anything, I get what is probably the worst headache of my life.
Kitsune POV
I haven't seen Kit for quite some time now and I'm beginning to get worried. I don't know why she wasn't knocked out, but for whatever reason, it can't be good.
Mr. Strong finally returns from taking Kit, and comes in to get me. I prepare myself for the punch that always comes with being knocked out. When it doesn't happen, I open my eyes to see him just standing there; waiting.
"Get up." He commands. I stand with shaking legs as he guides me out of the cell. As soon as we're out I start fighting him. I kick, punch, slap; basically anything I can touch gets hit. Obviously I'm not as strong as I thought because all I achieve with that, is a small grunt. He doesn't loosen his grip, nor does he get hurt. So soon, I give up trying to fight him and just let him guide me to Herobrine's room.
When we get there, I notice that the chairs have been removed. So I won't be getting tied down. Kit is no where in sight, so I get even more worried. Then I hear the door shut behind me and realize that I'm alone. Herobrine, Mr. Strong, and Kit are all no where to be seen. I begin trying to open the door and find out that it's locked. Of course it is you moron. Why wouldn't they lock it? So there I stay. In Herobrine's room. Completely alone.
Sorry this isn't as long as the rest of my chapters. I really just want to put a lot of stuff in the next chapter. Don't worry, the next chapter will probably be HUGE! :)
Anyways, see you guys later!
