We began to walk over to Milo's Inn, all of us hoping that once the meeting was over, he would help them. "Hopefully nobody else notices us..." Ivor said, looking around fearfully. "Well, honestly, I think that if I stay hidden, you guys should be good... Unless Aidan sees you, then you are screwed." I said. "I-" "Are you the ones who built the bridge?!" Milo nearly yelled as he popped into view, making all of us jump. "Yes, but at the time, we did not know it was against the law!" Jess responded, after taking a moment to recover. "They are going to be searching everywhere for you, but I know a place that you can be safe. You just have to promise to never reveal what you are about to see." "What?" Ivor asked, looking confused. "Milo, I swear, we will not reveal what you are about to show us." Jess and Jesse said in unison. Milo nodded, before leading us into his Inn. "Hit the switch." He said to the guy that was behind the counter. The guy nodded, and must have flipped a switch because in front of where Milo was standing, the blocks making up part of the wall disapeared, and a hidden room was revealed.
"Come in, quickly." Milo said, before walking into the room. Everyone followed, and once we were all in, the 'door' closed once more. "Woah, nice hideout." Jesse said. "It's not a hideout!" Milo snapped. We all watched as someone, most likely illegially built something with a crafting table. "Oh yeah, because this is perfectly legal and does not have to be kept secret." Jess said, sarcastically. "In other words, it is a hideout." I said, to Milo's confused look. "Oh." Milo said, before shaking his head. "I am glad we were able to save all your friends." Milo said to me. "But what of the Blaze Rods? The ones who might be up to trouble?" "They are working with the Founder, they are trying to get to us." I shook my head to clear it of my anger. "They want us dead at this point." Lukas muttered darkly. "We don't know that just yet- we don't know what their main plan here is." Jess said, looking around at everyone. "But we do know that they want us out of the way - and judging on how mad he was earlier, we would not mind if we were dead." Petra said. "Well, if my people can be of any help, I am sure that they will be there." Milo said, as we began to follow him down some stairs. Some of the people here seemed mad that we were here, and I kept as far away from them as possible. I did not want to end up scaring them all away. "Milo, how is Build Club supposed to be secret if you keep bringing new people here?" Some girl asked, glaring at everyone in the group she could see. Thankfully I was smaller than everyone else.
"Well, these people are great builders, exellent people for our cause." Milo said before looking at us, rather proudly. "They built the bridge into the city!" Every single one of his people looked at us in shock, before they glared at Milo. "Milo! The people that are the most wanted by the city?!" Someone yelled out. "Are you crazy, we have to turn them in before the guard comes knocking the door down!" Someone else called out. "Wait, no, let's not do that." Petra said, looking around at the group like she would in a fight. I blinked, as it was easy to see that nobody here had been in a real fight before. Just some armour stands to practice on. None of them even had a sword on them - the single stone sword that I had seen was still by the armour stand. None of them were even getting into fighting positions, even though they clearly wanted to fight. These people fought in a different way. "How do we know that they can even build!" Someone in the crowd yelled, out as he pushed his way closer to us. "Anyone can just say that they built that bridge. Prove you are actually builders." He got right into Jesse's face, and I growled lowly. Petra instantly put her hand on my shoulder, and I looked up to see that she was smirking. "We can build circles around you." Jesse said, accepting the challenge.
We were all forced to the crafting tables, while Jesse and Jess went onto a stage like place, where the was a crafting table right there, waiting. I stayed close to Petra and Lukas, doing a good job at staying out of the people's view for now. Milo handed some Iron bars and blocks to them, before walking off stage. They split the materials between them, and Jess walked over to the crafting table first, and quickly built an anvil. Everyone but us in the crowd were screaming in shock, but we did clap as she took a bow. Then, Jesse decided to start putting an iron block on the ground, and I had to cover my mouth to not laugh. We all knew what he was building. The put another iron block down on top of that one, before puting two more on the sides of that one, and then pulled out the pumpkin that he had found last night, and placed it on top of the structure he had made. Instantly, an Iron Golem came to life, causing everyone to go into a panic but us. "Oh no, everyone, run for your lives! It's out of control!" Jesse yelled in mock terror, that only caused more of a panic. Me, Petra, and Ivor could not hold back our laughter. Lukas was shaking his head, possibly in shame, and Jess facepalmed, probably covering her own giggles.
"Jesse." Petra said, once she had stopped laughing. She was trying to be stern, but ended up smiling. "No, everyone, it's okay, the Iron Golem is under his control." Jess walked back onstage to say. Everyone calmed down after a few moments, with me and Ivor having to wipe our tears from laughing so hard. "That was not funny!" One person from the crowd snapped from behind Ivor. "It was if you understood the joke." Ivor replied calmly. "Okay, I admit, you are better builders than us." The guy from earlier said, over the noise of the crowd. "What is it you need from us?" Jess and Jesse had one of their twinversations, as Ivor had called them. They looked at each other for a bit, having a silent conversation with each other, until Jess said "All we need, is a way to get into the castle." The Build Club members began to mumble, and Milo walked back onstage. "There is one window, that is never locked, and has no guards, but it is far to high up, made of iron blocks. We have tried to climb up it before, but alas, there are no hand holds." All of us grinned, making Milo wonder out loud. "What?" "If you are a part of build club, you gotta start thinking like builders." Jesse said, before gesturing for Petra to walk on stage. She quickly took out the wood blocks that she had in her inventory, and walked over to the crafting table. She quickly made some sticks, then made some ladders. We all grinned. This was going to be easier than planned.
(WOAH it's been so long since I've been on here! And just so everyone knows, I did have this chapter written a long time ago, but I uhh... Never published it...)
