Skys POV:
I felt that something was going to happen, and I awoken from my dreamless sleep. Herobrine was already awake, and I noticed the sun was around 6:00 in the morning. He was standing in the middle of the camp, contiplating something. And I realized what he was going to do when he took a deep breath. I tried to stop him, but he did it anyways.
"Get up!" He yelled to us, a lot louder than a regular human, although he wasn't human. Deadlox fell from his tree. Ssundee and Jason were not really effected. Mitch sat up sleepily, yawning. Husky mumbled something, but stayed asleep. Jerome was who I was worried about. He jumped up quickly with a yelp, hit his head hard on a low lying branch, and he fainted. Herobrine flinched. Husky sat up with a confused look on his face.
"Sorry. I didn't know that would happen." apologized Herobrine, and Mitch ran over to his buddy. We never touched Jerome when he was scared, and Mitch was the one to set that rule, after what happened with Seto. He spoke quickly in an odd language to Jerome when he woke back up, shaking like a leaf. While Mitch talked to him, Herobrine walked over to me.
"Sorry Sky, I should have known that would happen." I sigh, we never told him about Jerome.
"He gets very bad nightmares, almost everytime you wake him up, he will be scared. This isn't the first time, and thankfully it wasn't the worst." I explained, and Herobrine had a curious face.
"What was the worst?" Husky stood and walked over to us. He had a worried look on his face. He stood beside me, waiting to help me explain what happens during the worst wake ups.
"Husky here has expeirienced it first hand, so he'll tell you. I haven't seen it, only the aftermath." Husky looked towards the now fine Jerome with a small look of worry.
"Sometimes when you wake Jerome and Mitch isn't around, he will blindly attack as though he is still asleep. Sometimes it will be small, like when he cut open Setos arm, or it will be large. I was in the hospital with five broken bones, he can hit like a truck." Herobrine nodded.
"No wonder he seemed sympathetic whenever he said that thing that happened to me could have been blind rage..." mumbled Herobrine.
"Jerome is different at times, and I'm sure he has had a bad past with humans, but only Mitch might know what it is. He never tells us what he dreams, and we can't understand his home language." I explain, and Deadlox walked over to Herobrine.
"What was that for Hero, my back hurts now." Deadlox glared at Herobrine, who only shrugged.
"I just wanted to try and wake everyone up." I was too busy watching them, I didn't notice that Jerome had joined the group.
"That was a good one Hero, I probably should have told you about that small little fact. I guess I forgot about it, sorry." Herobrine and I gave him a confused look.
"Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who scared you half to death and back." Jerome chuckled, saying something in his odd language before walking back over to Mitch. "What?"
"I don't know, he's always been like that. You scare him, but he is the one who apologizes." I turned back to the group. They were all ready to go, and we headed out. I was looking at the map, and I didn't even see the hole to this trial, and fell in. I landed on the same foot wrong, so I'd only be limping slightly for an hour or so. It would have been dark, if it weren't for my amulet, which shined lightly, casting a purple glow around the area. It was also a budder room with one hallway, but this one didn't have scrolls lining the walls. Vines covered the walls and floor, and I tripped over one while exploring, faceplanting into the ground, and my sunglasses cracked a little, but it wasn't noticable.
"You alive down there?" Asked a sarcastic Ssundee, and I chuckled limping a tiny bit over to the hole.
"Yeah, I just landed on the ground wrong. Theres no trap I can see down here, so come on." Deadlox jumped down next, light green glowing from his headphones. Everyone else jumped down into the dark, Herobrines eyes casting the most light on the ground. Mitch turned back to the entrance.
"Whats wrong ami? asked Mitch, looking up at the entrance, Jerome was rummaging through his pack looking for something.
"Dude, what are you looking for?" Jerome noticed Mitched and waved.
"Go ahead without me, I can't find my torch." said Jerome, but someone didn't like that idea.
"How can we solve a trail if you don't have the courage to come down here. It's not that dark." whined Deadlox, and I groaned in understanding.
"It's a trial of courage, I guess all of us have to face a fear." Husky stared at me, who knows what he was afraid of. "And I know that the dark isn't the worst you have Jerome." I called up to him. "You didn't mind the dark when Deadlox was hurt."
"Well, I had to help my friend, This is a different story."
"Well ami, what if something happened and a trap falls on another one of us and your not there to help?" Mitch inquired, and I heard a small growl from Jerome as he landed in the room.
"Not going to happen." He mumbled and Herobrine made his eyes a bit brighter, and we were able to see the whole room, and I gasped. In the middle there was some rubble, and a dead body. It looked to be old, because it was nothing but bone. Herobrine stared at it for a moment, his eyes flashing red again, i wonder what he was thinking about. There seemed to be some sort of barrier in front of the hallway. Ssundee touched it, and his aura appeared. He drew his hand back quickly, breathing rapidly. His aura was starting to spark, and I tried to touch him, only to get my hand burnt.
"Ow, Ssundee snap out of it!" I yell, and he slowly turns to me. His aura slowly fades, and a scared expression mark his face, with tears streaming.
"We're in trouble. If almost all of us pass through here, you'll die on the spot." He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes, which were sparking more than normal. "So many death possiblilities..." He trailed off, and I noticed what had happened. The vision thing from his dreams occured in the waking world. He had seen us die who knows how many times in the second he had touched that invisible wall.
"Who can go through without dying?" aked Herobrine, nearly whispering.
"You can Hero, but you'll lose your mind again, permenatly." Ssundee started and fear showed on Herobrines face. "Or Jerome can. And for some reason, if he goes through, with Sky, you'll both be fine."
I am on a roll with all of these chapters. Each trial I have planned out will show more about the people. This is Jeromes trial, and we get to know his past soon. I hope you have a good day and free cookies (::) (::)
