Anyways, on with the chapter!

Chapter 6

Kit POV

My vision goes dark. The pain from my head is insane. I think I finally know what Herobrine is trying to do. I barely register the fact that I have been moved to a different room along with Herobrine. This room is slightly smaller. The only big difference is that there isn't anything in this room. Nothing. It reminds me of the cell I've been staying in with Kitsune. Kitsune! Through the pain of my headache I realize that this same thing could be happening to her right now.

I begin to cry. From everything. From the pain, leaving Kitsune in that cell alone, being taken from Turtle, seeing my mom die, all of it rushes into one as I crumple to the ground. I begin to hear a very unearthly scream and wonder who could be making such a horrible noise. I realize then, those are my screams.

Herobrine stands in the corner laughing an evil, low chuckle. He probably enjoys my pain. As I lay on the floor, the pain doesn't subside, but a new thing joins it. This is a dark sort of thing. An evil presence I can feel in my body. It stays there, fighting for dominance in my head.

My head however, won't give up without a fight. I'm thrashing now, the pain is so intense I could swear my head was just going to explode. I find out quickly that I won't be able to fight this much longer. The darkness grows at a very quick rate, and my head can't put up with much more than it already has.

That's when I black out. Or at least, that's what it felt like. My eyes open shortly after that and as I stand, a wicked grin spreads across the face I used to control.

Turtlelove POV

Shade and I set out for the forest. As we get closer, I feel what seems like almost a mini shock wave spread throughout the trees. Then I see a giant flash of dark green light, and the scream of a little girl. Not just any little girl though.

"Kit!" I screech. I start running toward where I saw the flash. Shade follows close behind yelling something over and over that I don't hear. All I know is that I have to get to her. I have to save Kit in time.

I find her in the middle of several charred trees, curled into a ball, screaming her head off.

I pick her up and start to carry her back to the camp. She stops screaming after a while, and soon after that, goes limp. She must have passed out. I thought. Then I feel a slight shaking coming from her and I know she's conscious. Then I hear the muffled sounds of her sobbing to confirm what I already knew.

When we get to the camp, Amanda stands waiting for us with her bow in the ready. When she sees me carrying Kit, she drops her bow and moves to the side so that I can lay her in the bed. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh..." Amanda sits next to Kit's bed repeating softly. I'll admit, I didn't think she was alive either.

I quickly pull out a potion I use to heal bruises. I can tell just from looking at her curled up body, she'll need a lot of it.

I walk over and start dripping it over each bruise in turn. Each one shimmers, fades, and disappears. She has way more than I thought she did, so I quickly make a second potion with the ingredients in Amanda's purse. Soon Kit is laying on the bed, bruise free.

She didn't have many cuts, but I took care of the ones she had anyways. I'm surprised she wasn't any more injured because she had been with Him the whole time. That's when I see her arm. She's finally uncurled enough that I can get a good look at the rest of her and I know that some of it is beyond my control. Her arm has been broken in at least two places and her leg, oh her leg, had been broken for a while now because it had started to heal itself; it had started to heal the wrong way.

I don't have anything for her arm so I just use the wool and sticks we have to make a sort of cast. As for her leg, there isn't much I can do for it. I don't know of any potion that can fix it and I really don't want to rebreak it just to heal it.

She lies on the bed shaking. It isn't cold so I figure it's just from the pain of her leg. I gave her something for her arm, so that shouldn't bother her.

Shade speaks quietly behind me. "I don't understand why He would return her. It just doesn't make sense. The Herobrine that I know wouldn't hesitate to kill a little girl."

He shakes his head, but I just shrug. "Maybe he sent her back like this to unnerve us. Maybe he didn't know I could heal her."

"Maybe." He sighs.

Amanda has been quietly sitting next to Kit. She looks like she's protecting her, but from what I don't know. Sometimes I feel like she can sense more than I can even though I can normally sense almost everything.

We all stay in the camp even though no one said that we should. We're all a little on edge so I think it's best that we stayed anyways.

When the night comes, Amanda puts extra wood into the fire so that the monsters stay away. I use a couple of sticks to make quick torches and place them around the camp. Just in case. Shadow waits for me in our little make-shift double bed when I'm finished. I walk over to the bed, get in, and let his body curl around mine. He puts his hands around my waist, and I hold them there like last night. When I finally relax and fall asleep, the last thing I see is Amanda, guarding the camp.

Kit POV

My new dark green eyes fly open as soon as everyone is asleep. I had gained back control of my body for a while when I first got sent back to this dimension. Now however, I have no control. My possessed body gets out of my bed slowly. Then starts heading straight for Turtle. Immediately I start to fight it. I won't let this thing take Turtlelove. I stumble, my feet unsure of who to listen to. My mouth though, knows exactly who to listen to.

"Turtle run!" I yell. I collapse into a fit of spastic movements that I can't control as everyone wakes up.

The demon inside of me gets mad then. Really mad. My whole body is racked with spasm, after spasm, after spasm. Then all at once, it stops. The pain, the spasms, everything just stops. The demon leaves my head and appears in front of me as if it had just teleported here on accident.

It looks around for a minute, as if confused by which way it wants to go. Then I locks in on Turtlelove, and all hell brakes loose. Amanda tries to stab the Enderman but misses. A boy I didn't know stepped between Turtlelove and the Enderman to protect her, but Ender just tosses him aside as if he weighed no more than a chicken. He falls to the ground as Ender gets closer to Turtle.

I scream and without thinking, I jump between the Enderman and Turtle. He hits me with the curse meant for Turtle, and everything goes black.

Turtlelove POV

I watch in horror as the Enderman teleports away, as if called by an unseen force. I wait for a minute to see if it will come back. It doesn't.

I then see Kit, laying on the ground, shaking. "Kit..." I kneel down to pick her up. I bring her back over to her bed and lay her down gently.

I kneel next to her bed in horror. The curse meant for me that Kit saved me from, was going to kill her. Despite the fact that I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore, I start to sob. I start to sob and all I can think about is the fact that I was too late again to save someone I love. Kitsune almost died being flung into the side of a valley, and now Kit will die because she was trying to save me.

Kit reaches out to touch my face with a shaking hand. "Don't cry." She says. "I'll be fine." She coughs. She tries to give me a reassuring smile, but she's no fool.

The pleading look on her face is the only thing keeping me from just sitting here and bawling my eyes out.

Amanda does something then that I know I'll never forget for as long as I live. Amanda walks over and kneels next to Kit's bed. She doesn't say much at first, but then she takes a breath, and begins to sing.

Let's come together sing in love and harmonia

We are so different but the same inside the hearts

Beautiful colours

As far as the eye can see ya

Calling all beautiful creatures

Kit's breathing has slowed now. She shuts her eyes, listening to Amanda's every word.

Come this way celebrate

Laugh and dance all the way

Follow me sing along

Let's celebrate

Calling all beautiful creatures

Spread your wings

Let us sing songs on the freedom

Fun for your jungle familia

Calling all beautiful creatures

She finishes the song just as Kit stops breathing completely. A single tear rolls down my face as we both kiss Kit's head, get up, and turn to leave. Amanda doesn't say anything as we walk away. We leave most of the camp to. We leave the torches surrounding Kit and her bed.

At last glance, Kit really could just be sleeping. Her face is relaxed and she isn't curled in a ball anymore. She was peaceful and safe. The exact opposite of us.

When her bed is no longer in sight, it's still nighttime, so w set up our camp for the second time tonight and I can't take it anymore.

I break down in a complete fit. I curl up into a ball and sob, and sob, and sob. I cry until I can't anymore. At that point I just start screaming. I scream at everything. I scream at fate, at Notch, at everyone. Most of all, I scream at Herobrine. Shade sits beside me while I have my fit. He's trying to comfort me, and any other day I might have accepted his sympathy, but right now, I want to slap him.

Amanda is quiet during this and attempts to offer me comfort, but gives up on that and just finishes setting up our little camp.

When I finish, I'm numb and exhausted. I just want to sleep forever and never wake up. I get into the bed I share with Shade and just try to relax. Shade wraps his arms around me and holds me as close as he can. He falls asleep soon after and I somehow manage to do the same.

Herobrine POV

He was furious. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His Enderman, the one that he himself had created, had come back to tell him that he failed. The only curse he had ended up killing the little girl; not Turtle.

The curse wasn't supposed to kill anyone! It was supposed to keep Turtle from using her power long enough for Ender to bring her back here. Instead, it had killed the little girl and no one was brought back. He was so close every time, but every time something, orsomeone, always got in his way. The only thing that reassured him was the fact that his son was still with them. He didn't doubt his son's loyalty, but he would like to have her as quickly as possible.

There wasn't a problem with patience, though. So if he had to wait, then so be it. He could wait for as long as he needed to. The girl would come to him. She would show up at his door expecting everything to go according to her plan. Ha! He would show her.

He leaves the room and goes to meet with one of his favorite prisoners.

Kitsune POV

I have been in this room alone for freaking ever. Eventually, he has to come. No one is stupid enough to leave me in here. This isn't my cell, so it isn't completely escape proof. I consider several ways that I could manage to break out of here when He opens the door and steps inside.

"So," He begins. "I thought you, of all people, would like to know where Kit is."

I instantly become very sarcastic. "Actually, I was quite enjoying my solitude in here. It isn't as dark as my normal cell." I stand in front of him, smiling. I know I shouldn't, but I feel proud that I can at least one-up him in here. Even though I can't anywhere else.

He slaps me across the face, then smiles as if he's lost his mind. Perhaps he has. "I do enjoy our little chats, but I'm afraid your attitude is a trifle annoying." He stops smiling and tells me what he has been wanting to say all this time. "Kit," he says. "is dead."

I feel as though someone just took a knife to my heart. Kit was so young. So innocent, sweet, and young. It makes me sick just thinking about how it might have happened. At the hands of this psycho, it could be anything. "So why am I here?" I demand. I meant it as a demand anyways. It came out as more of a squeak.

"You are being moved to a new cell." He says with obvious joy.

"Why?"

"I want you to be prepared for your special visitor." He says simply.

I lunge at him full force. My sadness over Kit forgotten as I try to choke the life out of this man. This horrible, horrible man. He flings me aside as if I'm no more than a rag doll, but the impact of my body on the brick floor knocks the wind out of me. I sit gasping for air as Mr. Strong comes to take me to my new cell. His drags me to my feet and pulls me out of the room. He still doesn't knock me out before he takes me to my cell, even though I'm still shouting curses over my shoulder at Herobrine.

When we get to the cell, it's almost above ground. I wasn't aware of the actual depth of my last cell until I came to this one. There's only one flight of stairs between me, and the front door to the castle. The wall that faces the hallway is made entirely of iron bars so I can see Mr. Strong through them as he stands there, guarding my cage.

Inside the cell, I have only one thing I didn't have before: a window. I rush over to it and stand there, taking big, huge gulps of fresh air. As fresh as it can be anyways. I'm still in the Dark Dimension so it isn't like being in the Overworld, but I'll take what I can get.

After a while, I let the true horror of what He said sink in. That Kit was dead, and Turtle was coming to the dimension. My heart sinks in pure disbelief. What will happen when she gets here?

Turtlelove POV

I had a dreamless sleep last night and I wake up more miserable than ever. Shade is still sleeping with his arms wrapped around me. I don't want to wake him up though. I want to freeze this moment right here, and stay in it forever. But I can't. I know I can't because Kitsune needs me, and whether she likes it or not I'm coming to save her.

Amanda still doesn't talk as we pick up the camp after Shade is up. I don't know why but I wish she would talk. Just for a while because it isn't like her to be so quiet. I briefly wonder if she's silent because of Kit, but quickly dismiss the thought. She wasn't silent like this the first time Kit was kidnapped in the forest and we thought she died. This was for a different reason.

We had been walking for a while when Amanda finally speaks. "I'm sorry about Kit."

I just shake my head. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. It isn't the first time I've had this happen."

She nods in understanding. The day I told Kit about Kitsune, she had heard it too. So she knew what I meant.

We were silent after that. The mountains are getting closer now. I can see the valley where the portal will be, but we are at least a day away from it and I sigh. We haven't had much trouble on this part of our trip, but what will tomorrow bring? I know we will arrive at the portal by then, and I constantly wonder what we'll find.

The sun begins its slow decent between the mountains and Shade walks beside me. "You remember that night on the roof? When the sun set exactly like that?"

I nod. I do remember but it feels like that was years ago. Decades even. "You only brought two books to read because you had the rest of your arms full with our picnic."

He laughs. "I was really nervous y'know. I thought you would get mad, or just not like me in that way. I still did it though because the first time I saw you in that forest, I knew I wouldn't be able to leave you."

Now I laugh because he's just recalling the memories of almost two weeks ago, but he makes it sound like forever. "You looked really scared when Amanda was about to shoot you that day."

He puts his arm around my shoulders. I lean into him and listen to him talk about that day, but I don't pay attention to everything he says. For now, I enjoy this moment and try not to think about tomorrow as we travel through the night.

Holy freaking crap. I won't lie, I cried writing this. It was really sad. This chapter doesn't feel like it's only six pages, but it is. Dang. Well, seeya next time!
