Herobrines POV:
I woke up, keeping my eyes closed and pretending to still be asleep. I could feel a bed underneath me and quiet talking in the next room. I recognized Ssundees voice and the voice of that old man. I tried to move my arm, and pain shot through me again. It felt as though fire shot through me every time I moved. It took my a while, but I painstakingly stood up from the bed. I was in someplace that looked like a hospital room. Every wall was white, but the door was dark oak. I looked into the mirror by the dark oak door. My eyes were completely black again, and anytime I tried to use my souls aura, a sharp pain went through my chest. I found my jacket and put it on, pulling up the hood because my eyes seemed to hurt from the regular light from the redstone lamps. I quietly pushed open the door, seeing a white hallway. I stumbled into the room where I heard talking. The second I stepped foot into the lavender painted room, my legs gave out from the pain I was trying to block.
"Stupid legs." I mutter, my throat feeling like it was in shreds, and I feel a hand on my shoulder. Big brother was looking at me with a worried and stern face.
"Herobrine, how many times are you going to..." He trailed off, but I couldn't tell why. I hear a pitter-patter on the ground, and I notice that black blood is dripping onto the polished diorite floor. My eyes are burning, and I rub them a little, pulling back a hand covered in blood. "Are you okay?" Big brother sounded confused, and it almost scared me a little. He always had an idea about what was happening. I couldn't tell what was happening, but I saw bandages not far away. I slowly and painfully got up again, tasting something metallic and bitter in my mouth, blood. I grabbed the bandages and wrapped them around my head, covering my eyes. I couldn't even use the simplest spell in order to see. I stayed in one place, hoping that the bandages stopped the blood from going everywhere.
"I-I hurt everywhere. W-what happened?" A small trickle of blood came out of my mouth, which I wiped away with the jacket sleeve. It was quiet, and I didn't like that it was. Finally, someone spoke up.
"Can you not see us?" I recognized the voice as Jason, and I shook my head. The small movement causing me to get a headache.
"Is your magic usable at all?" Ssundee asked. Again, I tried using my magic or aura again, only to have my chest hurt. I feel a hand on my arm, and I was dragged to a couch, which I was basically thrown on, hisssing in pain.
"You shouldn't be up then!" Max scolded, which I wished I could flip him off, but I had no idea where he was standing. I hear a sigh, "Elder is coming soon to speak with you, but he isn't sorry about nearly immobilizing you." I start to drift off, the soft bandage keeping my eyes from hurting.
Skys POV:
I was speaking with The Roommates. I was telling them about what happened whenever we met someone from Maxs family. I could tell all of them were worried, they didn't really have any bad past with Herobrine. Suddenly, Jin stands up from the couch quickly. "Jeogeos-eun geu geos-ida!"(Should be Korean for 'That is it'). Ross, Red, Barney, and I give him an odd look.
"English please." Ross states, and Jin clears his throat before talking again.
"Sorry, I was going to say that we are going to join on this journey of yours." Jin spoke quickly, and I could barely figure out what he had said.
"Wait, why?" I ask, not trying to sound rude. Max was the only one of The Roommates to actually have any form of advanced combat.
"We apart of Sky Army too." explained Barney, forgetting yet again to use proper grammer. "Besides, what if treasure apple?" Red nodded in agreement, and I face-palmed.
"It wont be apples, but I quess you guys need some form of advanced missions." I finally give in. Jin and Red were double teaming me with watery puppy eyes, which I cannot say no to. "Just a fair warning, you could die. Notch explained that whatever happened to cause Jerome to still be alive is something so rare, he only heard of it from an old red-eyed endermen."
"We wont die so easily then." Red nearly yelled, full of confidence.
"It will be fun." Ross said, and I told them to get their stuff ready. I had to tell Barney and Ross multiple times that they couldn't bring their pets, and Jin was having trouble leaving behind his electronics that he was experimenting on.
Herobrines POV:
I soon woke up again, cursing myself for falling asleep. I could hear people talking, so I pretended to still be asleep. It wasn't easy since every breath I took hurt.
"If what you are saying is true, King Notch, then what do you expect me to do?" asked Ssundee, and I had to stop from laughing. Not just because it hurt to laugh, but also because Ssundee seemed to forget again that we are brothers. I hear a chuckle from Notch.
"Ssundee, I'm your brother, you don't need to call me king. And I need your magic because it is of the same genetics. Herobrine has a darkness in him from that Dark Ancient, and with every peice of soul he regains, its influence becomes stronger. I would tell him, but he always scares easily." Big brother was right, I was scared. Unfortunately, I made a sound, and they knew I was awake. I heard Big brother and Ssundee both say fudge under their breath. Yep, they were very alike in the no cursing area.
"The Darkness..." I say weakly, and I knew where I felt it before. "I am str-stronger than it for now...I kept control during th-the spell that hurt..." I pause, my throat screaming in pain. "That still hurts." I noticed the bandage was off my face, and I'm sure my eyes are open, but I couldn't see.
"Is my eyes open?" I ask, and I am suddnly turned to face someone. I could tell it was Ssundee because I could smell burnt wood...I wonder why his aura smells like that. Usually, our families aura will smell of baking ingrediants. Such as vanilla like mine, or cinnamon like big brother. I could hear it crackling with magic, meaning that he is starting to panic.
"That monster deserves to be blind." It was the old man. I growled, painfully drawing on my magic. I finally turned my eyes back to the glowing white, and I could see in a red tint. Blood came from my eyes but I didn't care. I looked straight at the old man, seeing him back away in fear. I notice that fire is around my hands, and I try to put them out.
"Stupid magic, I didn't want fire." I froze after talking. My voice wasnt susposed to be like that. My voice never went that dark. I walked towards the mirror in the side of the room, and gasp. My eyes were bleeding, but they were also glowing a blood red, not white. I started to shake, horrified at my own reflection. I turn towards the old man, the pain was gone. I clutched my chest, not even feeling the thrumming of my soul. "What was that spell?"
Another chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. I cannot wait to see the #AllGrownUp troll from Ssundee for Crainer. Mabye now he will appreciate the beauty of cobblestone. I didn't have long to type tonight, but I think I'll have longer tomorrow. If you can quess what happens next, you get a cookie. (::) (::) (::) (::) P.S. Who else died laughing during the Office Antics Duct tape challenge?
