Reading the note aloud made it seem different somehow. I held my breath, waiting for somebody to say something. Then Cinnamon shook her head.
"So many friends, gone," she murmured. Then she looked up and walked out the door.
She was usually alone during these past few weeks. Doing Notch knows what.
I decided to go out and look for Mhurley. I hadn't seen her for a while now, and I missed hanging out with her. Funny, because every time I saw her, I was reminded of back when we were cats, and she hated me. And now we were dating.
*Ivy141's POV*
I was going to the library with Tobuscus today because I wanted to look at pictures in books. I'm not that much of a reader.
So we went inside and I grabbed a book called, 'The Littlest Cucumber'.
It was about a little cucumber that had no friends. Sheesh! What a loser!
When I finished the book, I curled up on the couch and watched Tobuscus read about watermelons. Sheesh! What a loser- I mean… Yes! The watermelons are losers.
Then we went out to get some apples and pie. It tasted really good. Then we ordered entrees and sodas and went to sit by the pond in the middle of the City.
"So, I was thinking we should all go the aquarium tomorrow," I said to Tobuscus with my mouth full of pork. "Us two, and all our friends."
*Nutmeg_Kitten725's POV*
Since Toby kicked Martyn out, he came over to my house and we ordered some pork from the local Porkins To-Go restaurant. Then we watched creepers run around through the window.
"Creepers are idiots," I said, taking a bite of my pork. The sun was beginning to set, and it was dangerous to go outside near those creepers.
Suddenly, Logan jumped off our roof and started attacking the creepers.
One exploded, and he screamed, but Logan was too far away from us to really be heard. Martyn and I laughed as Logemaster tried to kill the other creepers, but they both exploded as well.
"Oh, well, he's gonna be needing some hospitalizing," Martyn joked, and we laughed while Logan stumbled back to his and Mhurley1's house.
*Cinnamon527's POV*
I walked down the path through the woods as the sun was beginning to set. It was the same path I'd come down when I'd returned from the cat-world, and I wanted to see the place where we all landed again.
When I reached the hill, I sat down, tucked my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs. Then I watched the sunset on my own.
"Hey."
I looked over my shoulder to see Toby walking over to sit beside me.
"So," he said, "I was wondering… When we came here, Aaron said you were his sister. What's that all about, anyways?"
I let out a sigh and stared at the spot that the sun had just left. It had set now. "Until the day I turned seven, I lived in the Nether, with my father, Herobrine. When I finally got to the Overworld, I was scared, because everything was so… green! And, not to mention, blue and exciting. There were people here. People like me. I went home, and my dad started training me to fight, and to survive on my own. I eventually started doing 'missions' for him, and then he told me about my brother, Aaron.
"Aaron is my… twin. He was taken away by Notch and given to a human family somewhere around here. AutumnLover is his adopted sister. My father told me that Aaron had been training with him in his dreams, but wasn't really obeying him. So he told me to go out and make the illusion of his sister dying. That night, Aaron, sure enough, showed up in the Nether. When my dad explained what was going on, I was furious. So I gave AutumnLover back to Aaron and left the Nether.
"When I got to the Overworld, I decided never to return to the Nether ever again. I set out and eventually found a nice quiet place. I went into the Spruce Moose Tavern where Mhurley was polishing cups. I was about twelve at the time, and not knowing good people skills, I went right up to her. We had a conversation, she bought me some food, and then Logan and Ivy came in. Oh, by the way, Logan is actually Ivy's brother. Funny story…
"Anyways, we became really good friends, and since we all loved cats, started the Cat Army and built the City of Catus Felis. You see, Aaron's anger at us is my fault, too. I needed more people close to me that I could trust. Mage0178 was there to help, but then I asked Nutmeg, my old friend, the first person I'd ever met in the Overworld, to come join us. I hadn't known Aaron was there with her as well. I hadn't known that Nutmeg didn't say good-bye.
"So, yeah, I guess you could say I'm Aaron's biological sister," I finished. "Cinnamon527. Daughter of Herobrine."
I knew Toby was looking at me, but I continued to watch the sky. It was black now, but here and there, a wisp of gray fluttered by, once in a while creating shadows across the moon. I remembered my first night in the Overworld, when I had done the same thing I was doing now: watching the sky.
Toby lay down in the grass and sighed. "I still don't understand," he said slowly, and I could tell he was carefully choosing his words, so as not to anger me because, let's face it, that was all too easy to do these days. "Before we went into the cat-world, Logan said you looked different. You know, short ginger hair, green eyes, green clothes, and now you're… this."
I glanced down at my clothes. They still surprised me every time I saw them. And my face. My face had changed so much. From short ginger hair and green eyes, straight to long, dark brown hair and misty gray eyes. Toby was right. I was different. But was that bad?
Well, now I had to explain everything. I'd started, so why not finish? "Children of Notch and Herobrine have…" I struggled to find the words to explain. "Powers. Aaron can fly, teleport, he has telepathy and telekinesis, and I've been separated from him for so long, I can't even remember the rest.
"I have telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation as well, though I can only swap between here and the Nether. Not the Aether, and I'm never going to even try the End. But my other powers are completely different from my brother's."
I paused, not wanting to laugh, but wanting to at the same time. "And there's one thing I think you should really see."
Finally, I dared to look away from the sky. Toby was lying on his back, still in the grass, gazing up at the stars. They glittered above our heads, and I felt something flutter to life inside of me.
I reached down my shirt and pulled out my pendant. It had a dark-toned silver chain and a black stone at the end. Shaped in the pattern of a lotus.
Concentrating hard, remembering how I hadn't done this in many years, I willed the pendant to change. Excruciating pain whipped through my limbs, and I bit back a sob. No, I had to be strong if this were to work.
When I opened my eyes, Toby was staring down at my, his eyes wide. I glanced at my pendant, now white and glowing softly, which hung around my neck in a sort of collar. I was a black cat, of course. The only thing I knew how to change into with my pendant.
Changing back was much, much easier. When I was done, I sat still in the grass, my head aching from the effort. "Aaron has something like this, too," I whispered about a few moments after. "If I knew what it was, I'd say, but I don't."
We sat there in silence, and as if right on cue, thunder rumbled, and a steady rain started drumming onto the ground. I didn't bother pulling up my hood, just let the rain drench my hair, soak through my clothing down to my skin.
"If I'd known," Toby started, then stopped. There wasn't anything to finish his sentence. Nothing at all.
It was good to share your secrets with somebody.
Especially somebody you loved.
*Nutmeg_Kitten725's POV*
Martyn and I were on guard duty. I was still extremely full from our dinner from Porkins To-Go, and we just sat at the gate, talking about our old lives. I though about Cinnamon for a second, which stirred a secret deep in my bones. Did I dare share it with Martyn? Perhaps not. Perhaps not…
Two people approached the gate. One dressed entirely in black, the other with their hood drawn over their head. It was Toby and Cinnamon. Of course.
"Why are you guys out so late?" Martyn asked.
Cinnamon shrugged. "I went back to see where we landed," she responded. Her voice was strained and stiff. Not as though she were crying, but almost so. Martyn was completely oblivious to it, though, so I pressed the button on the gate and they went inside.
Part of me longed for the old days, when we could all have walked right through that gate without answering questions. But seeing as this was no longer Cinnamon's domain, Mhurley had set up new, annoying rules.
"So, there's this thing I think you should know," I said, beginning slowly, trying to plan out this conversation in my head. "You know how I never talk about my dad… right?"
Martyn nodded, but remained silent. "Well, he's Notch," I said. I paused, waiting for him to say something.
Silence.
"I know," Martyn said.
I raised my eyebrows at him. "How?"
Martyn rolled his eyes. "You do remember telling us all this… don't you? Remember? You were like, (says this in a high-pitched imitation of Nutmeg) 'It's a good thing we're not dating anymore,' and Sky was all, (says this in an extremely low imitation of Sky) 'It's a good thing,' and then everybody forgot about it. Not really."
"Oh yeah."
I really remembered that now. "Okay, well, shifts over. Let's go home."
I hoped you liked it! :)
BYE!
;)
