The song for this chapter is: Inseparable by the Jonas Brothers.
If there is no text for POV, then it is Jordan's. Whoever else has POV text (such as Sierra POV) is that certain character.
Beatrice POV
I recognized the expression on Jordan's face. He was frightened for his life. I had a secret past that no one should have known of. But that all went away when I met Jordan. At first I couldn't trust him due to his alliance with the Sky Army. Within the few hours that I spent with him, though, I realized that he could take the truth. He seemed strong enough.
I explained that I was sent out from my father, Herobrine, the King of the Nether, years ago to get rid of the Sky Army. So I became a recruit and fought against the squids. After one of their last battles, I couldn't take the pressure and left. Although Herobrine had been searching for me for years, I traveled to the Illusionists and became the executive leader since I was very intelligent, clever, and skilled at planning scams. Soon enough, the Illusionists started to gain more representatives such as Susan.
"What?!" Jordan fiercely asked, "You're…"
I covered his mouth before he could say anything else, "Herobrine's daughter. You can stop obsessing over it."
"Oh my Notch. You have a handful for a father."
"And how would you know that?" I questioned him.
"Last night, I wandered into the Nether. Herobrine caught me by surprise and asked me to do a favor for him."
I started to get interested. "And that favor was?"
"To find the One with the Golden Necklace and bring her to him."
"The One with the Golden Necklace…" I studied Jordan's words, "Did he give you a specific name?"
"Nope."
"Strange."
"He told me that Sky would be released."
I paused my thought, "Sky? Released?"
"After the final battle, he was captured by the squids. No one has heard of him since," Jordan said, "But when your father mentioned that he was still alive, I decided to accept his favor."
"You do know that sealing a deal with Herobrine is like…. sealing a deal with Herobrine. You just don't make a deal with him at all!"
"It was for Sky. He was one of my best friends, in reality."
"You know Jordan, I pity you."
"Why?"
"You would go that far to save someone."
Jordan stiffened his face and didn't say a word. All he did is look at me one last time and walk off to Kitty. I chose not to follow him. He had enough issues already.
Sierra POV
No matter what, I wouldn't let him get into trouble. And I knew trouble, especially from experience. Once I heard about Sky's capture by the squids from those who where at its specific location, the event traumatized me to the point that I had no one to turn to… except Jordan. He was the closest to Sky and the only one who could end my misery when I was sad. Whenever I saw him fooling around with Ryan and Ty during the wars against the squids, he always brightened up the recruits's view of the future as well as mine. In order to keep him from getting hurt from my enemies, I went searching for him although he told me specifically not to.
I wandered around the woods, trying to focus my mind on saving Jordan from the dangers that lied in front of him. Hours later, I slowly and desperately realized I had no food or water. Feeling lightheaded, I started to find my vision hazy. With no more strength left, I collapsed on the ground.
"Are you okay!?" I eventually heard a male voice say in my ear, "Snowy, give her water."
"On it, buddy!" a female voice replied to the other's request.
"I told you not to call me that! My name is not buddy for crying out loud!" the first voice reprimanded the second.
I was finally given a gulp of liquid. This allowed me to open my eyes, sit up, rub my forehead and take a first glance at the people who had rescued me. The male voice turned out to be a boy who had black, spiky hair, a green shirt and brown pants, and eyes that reminded me of a hawk. He glared down at me with complete and utter sympathy. The girl that crouched next to him had pale skin with Diamond-colored hair that slightly went over the right side of her blue eyes. Also her ears were covered by white headphones with blue speakers. She wore a light blue t-shirt with the letters "XD" on them, white capris and a set of blue tie-dye converse.
"You feeling any better?" the boy asked me.
"Yeah…" I grumbled, "Do you have any food…?"
He already had laid a slice of watermelon on the ground next to me. I picked up the watermelon and took a bite out of it.
"Thank you," I told him, my mouth half full of fruit.
"I'm Snowy! Short for… uh… Snowy!" The girl sarcastically grinned, "This is my buddy…"
The boy angrily glared at Snowy. She winced back a little but shook it off. He continued her sentence, "Yosh. My name is Yosh."
"Nice to meet you two." I advanced to stand up but Snowy sat me down again.
"You have to chill! In a hurry or something? In a world like this, you can never hurry… except racing away from those dumb squids!"
"You've heard of the squids?"
"Yeah! I was part of a group called the Illusionists. You probably haven't heard of them. They pretty much pull pranks for a living! Sounds fun right?! Ha! No way!" She smirked and rolled her eyes, "The Illusionists had a leader named Wolf. He was… what you would say… vampire-like. Bloodthirsty…but for the blood of squids. Wolf had a cool and calm personality during meetings and stuff like that. When it came to a war or battle, though, he was the first one to join. Eventually Sky had to kick the group of the alliance because of his behaviors. Cheap, right?"
"Wow. Seems like that was one heck of a group."
Snowy turned to Yosh, "Do you know about the squids?!"
"Don't say it so loud. Oh course. But you never heard this from me, kapeesh?" I nodded and Yosh motioned for Snowy to come closer. He was about to reveal a shocking past to us.
Yosh was part of the Homies, or the army of xXSlyFoxHoundXx. Sly's group was allies with Sky's and fought in the first few battles against the squids. Eventually, their numbers grew smaller as each time their armory and weaponry decreased dramatically. They backed out of the war and tried rebuilding their group but it was too late. Sly had been kidnapped and almost killed by the squids in front of Yosh and two others. It affected the rest of the war's outcome. Majority of the army was killed and Sly's third in line to leader got his old position. This new leader seemed to pay no attention to any political leadership at all. She often was influenced by mythology and stories. One of these stories, however, almost got Yosh killed, leading her to hate him. In fury, he took Sly's trusted Slime Sword, presented to him by Sly himself, and escaped the new unequal environment. After wandering the forests for about a month, he ran into Snowy who begged to join him. He hesitantly accepted her request.
"And that's how I met Snowy," Yosh concluded, "Again, you did not hear this from me."
"Got it," Snowy sarcastically responded. She turned to me and whispered, "He could definitely need a chill pill. Story's not even funny."
Yosh somehow overheard this comment. "It wasn't supposed to be funny! It was the story of my life! For Notch's sake!"
"I say that we part our separate ways. I need to find my friend who ran away… maybe you've met him. His name is Jordan…"
"Haven't heard of him," Yosh instantly snapped. He stood up and made Snowy help me up, "Goodbye."
"Come on, buddy. Can we keep her, please?" Snowy sweetly asked. This created so much tension in Yosh's expression that his face turned bright red.
"If you don't call me buddy ever again, she can come."
"Fine." She turned to me with a giant smile on her face and led me to Yosh. We began our journey to find my old friend.
