Song for this chapter: Just a Dream (cover by Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie).

Sky POV

Ty popped out from the corner of my eye. He had been missing for at least fifteen minutes. Sierra and I were afraid that he had abandoned us.

"Ty!" Sierra scrambled to meet up with him, "Where have you been?"

"Uh," Ty glanced around, trying to think of something. I wasn't sure what exactly he was doing, "Nowhere."

"We should go."

"Okay…" Sierra took the lead and left Ty and I behind her.

I pulled Ty towards me, "You've been acting really weird. What's been going on?"

"Nothing. I told you," Ty attempted to tug away from me, but I held a tight grip on the collar of his shirt. I gave him a glare.

"The truth."

"The truth? I… um…"

"You…?"

"I like a girl!"

Sierra perked up and spun to face us with a giant grin on her face, "Really? It's Annie, isn't it?!"

"I'm not saying anything."

"Have it your way." Sierra mumbled to herself, but I could still hear, "It's Annie."

"Well, this girl, changed my whole outlook on things… and that's why you think I'm acting weird," Ty concluded.

"Alright then," I grumbled. I wanted to believe Ty's confession, but I couldn't. It all seemed too strange.

Paul POV

The man and I walked around the forest for any signs of Jordan and iEcho. I didn't know if I could completely trust him, so I tried to get more information about his life.

"So… what's… your… name?" I questioned.

The man paused in his tracks and faced me, "You don't need to know that right now."

"But… how… can… I…?"

"Trust me."

"Is there… anything… I… can know…?"

"My sister. I had a sister. A twin sister. I was with her, and we encountered another man. He caught us both and tortured us. The man, he killed her."

"I'm… so sorry."

"I was part of a group as well. We were allies with the Sky Army. I lost them one day while hunting and that's when he came. I've been alone ever since."

"I don't know anything about myself."

"Heh… that's the first time you completed a sentence without stopping."

I chuckled, "Yeah."

"Go on."

"I don't know anything about myself, except that my name is Paul, and I'm in my early twenties. The last thing I remember is that I woke up next to a river with the basic necessities needed to live."

"So you didn't have any family? Or friends?"

"As far as I know, no."

"I'm your friend, right?"

"Sure." I smiled, the man returning mine with another.

"Do you know when you woke up? Just curious."

"Around two months ago."

The man was silent with a shocked expression on his face, "Do you know a man by the name of Herobrine?"

"No…"

"He was the king of the Nether, a hell-like dimension next to the Overworld. Two months ago, Jordan, one of the people you're looking for, killed him. Now he's back, and wants blood. Jordan's blood, and the blood of his friends. Speaking of friends... Herobrine was the one who killed my sister."

Jordan POV

We were all sitting down in the same place two hours ago. Snowy and Harry were chatting, Beatrice practiced tricks using my diamond sword, and I rested my head against the tall oak tree. Occasionally leaves fell on my face, but I was okay with this because I could just push them off. I yawned and stretched my arms out into the air. The area smelled like fresh pinecones and the aroma of sweet lavender flowers. Everyone else sat around doing what they wanted, except Yosh. He was nowhere to be seen. I stood up and walked around.

"Where are you going?" Beatrice asked. She glanced back at me with a sympathetic look.

"Yosh. He's…" I spotted him sitting near the nearby river, "I'll be right back."

I slowly and carefully walked over to Yosh and sat down next to him.

"Hey," I begun. He didn't acknowledge me. "What's up?"

"What do you think is up?"

"I'm sorry about Isabel…"

"Don't…" Yosh tried to hold back a tear. His face squeezed up in pain.

"I know it must be hard for you… but I swear that it'll get better."

"How do you know?"

"It's the same thing I told Preston two days ago. Remember when we thought that someone was gone, and then we end up finding them…"

"Jordan! This is different! She's dead! I saw her body!"

"I wasn't done."

"What were you gonna say?"

"Uh…"

An arrow almost shot Yosh in the arm. It barely missed.

"What the heck!" Yosh shouted.

Two more arrows whizzed past our heads and into the trees. Those barely missed us as well. They were getting so close that I pulled out my budder sword and blocked them from hitting their targets.

"Yosh, Yosh, Yosh," a familiar female voice came closer to us. She revealed herself, holding a bow in her hand. An orange tail waved out from her back, and orange ears perked up at the sight of me, "And Jordan. Nice to see you again."

"Cliff, why were you trying to shoot us?" I growled.

"I wasn't aiming for you. I was aiming for him," Cliff pointed straight at Yosh, "He's working with Herobrine."

"What are you talking about? Herobrine is dead."

"Nope. You're wrong. He is good and alive. I've heard he has double agents roaming the forest, and I know that they are Yosh and his friend Snowy."

"You don't know for sure."

"Oh, but I do. Cupquake was working with Herobrine as well. She brainwashed those two like she did to Harry."

"How do you know about Harry?!"

"Who doesn't?! The whole Overworld is talking about you and him!"

"Go. Leave. Or else I'll make you leave." I held out my budder sword, ready to attack.

"Jordan, you don't understand. You can't trust them!"

"I've known them for long enough… about four… five months. You, two minutes!"

"I saved you from one of Herobrine's guards. I'm gonna do it again."

"You're not going to kill Yosh!"

"But I will," Cliff grinned, "Not when you're here. I'll find someway. And you." She turned her attention to Yosh, "Better look out."

I'm looking for a few OC's for my next chapter! I need at least one girl, but the other two can be either gender. Thanks and hope you liked this chapter! And remember you can always send one in. I may use it!
