'~ CHAPTER 8 ~'
Third Person's POV
Later that night, the girls DJ, Charity, and Jinx had a meeting. The only thing different from this meeting was that they were dragged to this one.
"Who the Aether are they?" Skar, their dimension SkytheKidRS, venomously spat at the trembling girls in front of them. This dimension's Sky or SkartheDemonHB; Deadlox or Lavalox; MinecraftUniverse or Netherverse; ASFJerome or BON (Born of the Nether) Jerome; and BajanCanadian or BajanNethernian took them towards the south of the land most came to know as 'hell on earth' rather than using the phrase 'heaven on earth', " 'Cause I don't remember Herobrine telling me that he wanted to replace us!"
"W-We have no id-dea," DJ shakily and hurriedly replies, hoping to not get hurt this time. Last time DJ encountered Sky she remembered she was at half-a-heart, when evil Sky got angry with her, "Th-they claimed to have come from a different dimension, a-and from j-just wanting to blend in. W-we took them into our homes."
"A different dimension you say?" the BONJerome smiled evilly, glancing at the Nethernian, who shared the same twisted expression, "What can you tell us about this…dimension?" The three half-demonic girls looked at each other, all three of them having the same thought and answer.
"We…don't know much about their new dimension," Jinx confesses, shrinking down afraid of receiving even one hit from either one of them, "All we know is that Notch rules their dimension and while we curse out the Aether, they curse the Nether."
"Hey…Lavalox do you feel that?" TrueNU asks, his hands finding their way to his chest area.
"Yeah, wh-what's happening, Skar?" Lavalox worriedly asks, looking up to their leader. Skar just took a look down at himself and felt the same thing, the sudden light-weightiness was on him, causing himself to panic.
"What type of witchcraft is this?!" he shrieks before him and the group disappears out of thin air, leaving the three girls to go freely and they sprint and few yards away. In case the group spawned back at that place, they won't get caught again.
"Did you see…what I just saw?" Charity pants, looking to the person to her right which happened to be DJ.
"How can I not? You don't think Herobrine killed them do you?"
"Pfft, if we are lucky enough," scoffs Jinx, "If anything though, this does not look like the work of King Herobrine. At least nothing that I have ever seen..."
~~~Nether~~~
A few groans and grunts escaped the evil five-some's lips as they were teleported in the same spot, leaving them to pile on-top of each other like a small hill. It took them a few seconds to realize where they were until a too familiar voice spoke.
"Skar," his voice roared, making said person's body grow stiff, "What did I just witness you doing?" Skar and the others scrambled off each other and stood at attention.
"It was nothing of importance, King Herobrine," he calmly replies after catching his breath, as he bent down to one knee out of respect, "It's just that, there seems to be a…disturbance within our land, if you will. We were simply trying to get to the source."
"I see," Herobrine thoughtfully responds, "Might I say, those were an interesting choice of words, Skar. You know, how you said it," The way their leader said it made the five half-demonic beings stomachs twist in knots. Out of reflex, Lavalox, TrueNU, BONJerome, and BajanNethernian slowly took one step back, leaving Skar in his current kneeling position in front of Herobrine's presence. Skar may have looked bold in front of everyone else, but right now he was scared lifeless, as he was too afraid to even lift is head to look at Herobrine.
"The way it put fear in those girls' souls," Herobrine clenched his right fist, closing it tighter and tighter as he finished his sentence.
~~~Meanwhile…~~~
Charity's POV
"So, we don't tell any-" my eyes widened, as Jinx had suddenly stopped talking and started choking. I stood there confused and panicked, as I saw nothing but thin air…suffocating her! My mouth dropped open, watching as Jinx let go of her last…dying breath. DJ and I stared at each other after Jinx's body had fell limp. Next thing I knew, my hand found its way to my neck area, my hand shaking so much I was sure it was visible. How could this have happened?!
"Let's get the Aether out of here," DJ finally came to say, as she took Jinx into her arms and we went hastily to go and hide her body.
~~~Back in the Nether~~~
Herobrine smiled in satisfaction, as he unclenched his fist and a small puff of smoke came from his hand…but no flame.
"Wh-what was that?" BajanNethernian stutters, already regretting asking of anything from the ruler of the Nether.
"That, my subject, was another soul added to the collection," he evilly smirks, staring straight into the evil Benja's eyes, causing Benja to immediately look away from the demon's bright eyes, "And Skar," Herobrine tilts his head down at the strongest of the five, Skar cautiously lifting his head to look at the one who called him, "Find out more about these 'disturbances', and if they happen to be people or even mobs…kill them."
~~~Meanwhile in the Overworld…~~~
Third Person's POV
"Well, we're here."
"No, shit Sherlock," Husky retorts at SSundee, who sent him a glare in response.
"So, what do we do? Do we search the house again or something?" Seto asks, "Maybe he has come back."
"I think we would have heard a sound right now if that was true," SSundee thoughtfully says, returning back to his 'pacing spot' and…starts pacing, "So, if I remember correctly…Sky said something about a portal."
"And the only ones that exist are the Nether and Aether portals," Husky completes, "I doubt they'd go to the Nether with Jerome, because he's so scared of his fur being burned off. Not that I wouldn't do the same thing if I were him."
"So, they must have gone to the Aether right?" Seto clarifies, making Husky face palm himself.
"Let's go get out of the city then."
~~~Line Break~~~
"Well…here's the portal," SSundee states, after spotting and reaching the broken portal first; Seto coming in second and Husky the last. Seto reached into his purple cloak and took out a bucket scooping in the water that spilled around where the portal stood. It puzzled the three Minecraftians when only the water spilled, but the portal was still intact.
"That was easy," Seto raises both eye brows at the structure after he had placed the water in the top right corner just like how TrueMU had, and out came five familiar looking people.
"Sky!" SSundee exclaims, helping him up. Husky and Seto helped Jerome and Benja, as their space friend had already gotten up from the ground and was unnecessarily dusting himself off, "You're ok!"
"Why wouldn't I be?" he scoffs back, examining himself while dusting off various sparklez of glow stone dust.
"Uh…you just got shot outside of a portal?" SSundee half chuckles, but the other urged him to take it seriously. This wasn't like the Sky he knew. He would usually brush it off or not even know it, keeping in mind it was Sky we were talking about here, "Are you ok, Sky?"
"Who's Sky?" the one with the shades asks, "My name's Skar."
~~~Line Break~~~
DJ's POV
The picture of Jinx's body couldn't leave my mind. It just wouldn't leave! What could have caused her to…die? What did I do? Or really what did Jinx do, if she did anything in her case. I had slowed my pace from a stroll to a more cautious state, as I had reached the east building. All the glow stone lamps were turned off, so I assumed everyone was sleeping.
I was just glad that I was the one to actually "keep watch" for the night. By that, I mean just stay up. Because if anyone of my kind approaches our house, all I have to do is shine my eyes to a bright red, and they will leave, thinking that I had possession over this house.
Before I took my stake for the night, I decided to take a trip up the stairs, wanting to make sure that everyone was sleeping before I did anything. I quickly and quietly scanned through the rooms, one with Twister and Hope and the other with Avernus. Then I stopped at the guest room. I took a deep breath before opening the room's door.
As expected, Sky and Deadlox were deep in slumber under the covers. I then remembered before Jinx died, Charity, Jinx, and I discussed our plan on changing these "welcomed visitors" to our kind.
"I say we pick them off one by one, rather than one building to the next," Charity speaks up. She was always the one to come up with plans, and almost all of them were successful.
"Sure," I shrug, "But which one do we go for first?"
"Why don't we go for BajanCanadian?" Jinx suggests, "I found out that he was injured this morning. And I can easily tell that it was done by one of our kind. Someone was trying to hurt him first."
"That was my work," Charity came clean, "I tried to poison him with the special changing potion, but Ronan and Kittens were downstairs taking their watch for the night. So, I had to stop halfway."
"Well, you were a sloppy one at it," Jinx scoffs, causing Charity's head to, in a challenging way, turn to her insulter.
"How was that a 'sloppy' job? I say I cut him pretty straight."
"Guys, we're getting off track here," I hiss, gaining their attention, "I say we take out the strongest: Sky."
"Too expected isn't it?" Charity says, giving me a 'look', "I vote we take out the unexpected…Deadlox."
I turned my head towards Deadlox, my eye glowing red. 'Let's get started...'
~~~NEXT DAY~~~
Sky sat up on his bed the next morning, groaning as he stretched and slowly sat up his head feeling a little dizzy. He let out a deep sigh, looking at the window which let in too much light for his liking.
"Deadlox, will you block this window please?" Sky asks in a way that almost sounded like he was drunk, "Deadlox?" he calls out again this time cracking his eyes open to slits at the most. It was only until his eyes caught the messed up bed did his eyes pry open. His eyes and face descended from shocked to possibly a horrid one, taking in how the bed was presented.
One of the pillows was leaning against the wall on the floor, and the covers were twisted together like a knot in the center of the bed. The last wool-woven pillow on the bed, it was torn, a small triangle piece apart from the rest of the pillow. It was clear where it was cut, as a zigzagged pattern was seen across the edge of both pieces. Alas…it wasn't that, that tore a piece of Sky on the inside. But on the floor where his feet would land to get out of the bed, was his headset. The outstretched microphone was broken from the headphones, leaving Deadlox's most recognizable and favorite accessory in half.
Sky scrambled out from his bed, tripping himself with the covers, which sent him face down to the ground. He picked himself up, rubbing his cheekbone, as that part of his face hit the ground first. He stormed through the door, looking left and right before spotting Hope, who also just got out of the room. After Hope was done rubbing the sties out of her eyes, she gasped jumping back, surprised at Sky's "magical" appearance in front of her. And right there…something hit Sky right in the gut.
"Hope…" he worriedly starts. He very well knew Hope liked Deadlox and vise versa. This was no way to start a morning for one thing, but it had to be told sometime or later, "Deadlox…he went missing."
A/N: LEESSSSGGGOOOOO! Yeah, I am so tired...
AxleMC131: I know right? And about Darx, it was a fault on my part, as I forgot to put him on the list. But I have updated the previous chapter saying that he lives on the north side, which looking back at my writing claims to be it. I actually have a list stuck on my wall showing which OCs are where, and I was too lazy to get out of bed to check it as I wrote the author's note. :3
Guest: I'm glad you like dis story, but what do you mean by ' when will the rest be out'? Are you asking when the rest of the story will be out or something else?
Anyway guys, thanks for reading and I hope to see y'all real soon. See you in the next chapter!
