Chapter 3 Getting kidnapped by a clan of squidward's and Starting a Revolt
As I woke up with a big long Yawn I realized I woke up right before the sun rose. I looked over at the other beds one of them was empty Briel wasn't in her bed. I looked at Sean's bed and saw that Briel in the middle of the night got in bed with him. I smiled and quietly walked outside as the sun rose I took a deep breath of fresh air and took in the peaceful scene that I was seeing. I stepped down from the porch and headed over to the river that was about fifty yards away. I cupped my hands to take a drink of water.
"DAVID!" said a voice.
"What's going on it sounded like Briel!" I said.
I ran back towards our shack through the trees and through the brush I could see the shack in the distance. The door was smashed open and furniture was thrown outside. As I got to the house I realized that nobody was here. The place was thrashed beds were turned over furniture was broken and thrown everywhere, but Sean and Briel were no where to be seen. I ran outside and found the trail that was made and I started to track my friends. The foot prints were fresh maybe five or ten minutes ahead of me.
"I got to hurry I got to save my friends." I said.
When I said that I heard a snap of a stick I stopped and got myself in a defensive position. I could see movement in the trees man they were fast. Their four maybe five people running around me moving from cover to cover. Man they were fast I could barely get a glimpse they had long noses they kind of looked like Squidward except they had like a brownish pale skin. Who were they ans what did they want with me and my friends. I turned around and a big man stood about a foot over me like the others he had a long nose and brownish pale skin. All of a sudden someone hit me over the head and I blacked out. When I woke I heard a woman's voice trying to wake me up.
"Wolfy, Wolfy, wake up." Said the woman's voice.
I opened my eyes and I realized that it was Briel trying to make my up. With a look of relief she helped me sit up so I can get a look around. As I looked around I realized that we were underground in a cave system that I didn't know where.
"Ah my head. Where are we?" I asked
"I don't know. They blindfolded us so we couldn't see anything." She said.
I looked around and saw that Sean wasn't with us. In fact we were in a room alone.
"Where's Sean and where are the Guards?" I asked.
"They took him into another room probably interigating him. I hope he's ok." She said.
She looked down with sadness and worry on her face. She started to cry I wrapped my arm around her trying to comfort her.
"Hey don't worry he'll be fine. I'm sure everything will be ok. He's probably trying to explain who we are." I said.
With tears in her eyes she said, "Thanks, your best brother I've ever had."
Before I could even respond we heard footsteps coming from somewhere down the hallway. We both stood up and I pushed Briel Behind me so that whatever comes in I'll do whatever I can to protect her. As the footsteps stopped in front of the door and the door swung open the tall man that I saw early was at the door. I was now able to get a better look at him, he had a massive scar going down the side of his face. It pulled his face into a contortion that it made his face look like he was angry. He stepped to the side and two guards came in and they were dragging in a body when I realized that it was Sean.
"Sean!" Said Briel
"What did you do to him?" I said.
They tossed him into the room and we ran over to him. I turned him over on his back, he looked like he has been tortured. He stirred and opened his eyes and looked at Briel and smiled. Briel took his hand and started to sob.
"He will live he needs rest, but you need to come with me." Said the tall man pointing towards me.
"I'm not going anywhere. You're going to be to drag me out of here." I said.
The two Guards started to walk towards me so I started to run at them. The one on the left lunged at me and so I side stepped past him. The second guard punched me the gut, I fell down but I got back up quickly with a right upper cut to the jaw. He fell backwards stunned to even move. The other guard came behind me and lifted me up while the second Guard grabbed my legs and started to walk towards the door.
"Let me go! Hey let me go!" I said.
"David!" said Briel.
While I struggled against their hold on my arms and legs they walked me down the hall to the room with a table and a couple of chairs. They sat me down on one of them and the tall man sat in the other. He looked at me like he was studying me trying to figure out who I was.
"What do you want with us?" I asked
"Silence, I'll be the one asking the questions. Answer truthfully and this will be quick." Said the man. "My name is Saul, I am the leader of the free villagers. I will be the one who will be the one that will judge to see if you and your friends are trustworthy." He said.
"Very well, what is your first question?" I asked.
The way he was looking at me I felt like I was being judged from the way I looked.
"Who are you? What is your Name?" he asked.
"My name is David Wolf. We are from another world." I said.
The guard on my right punched me in the side I gasped for air as the air left my lungs.
"Why (cough) did you (cough) do that?" I asked.
He leans over me and said, "You lied. Didn't I say not to lie to me."
"But I didn't lie. I'm telling you the truth we're from another world." I said.
Whispering into my ear he said, "How can I trust you we don't know you. For all I know you could be a spy sent here from Herobrine to Kill me."
"I'm no spy! I have proof that the three of us are from another world and that Notch sent us to help." I said.
He turned so fast I could feel the air move around me and said, "You say Notch sent you. Then where is he why isn't he hear to explain all this."
"We have a note from him when we first arrived saying why we're here and what he's doing now to help us. Let me take you to the note and it will show you who we are." I explained.
"Very well but if your lying I'm going to kill you myself." He said.
Looking at the Guards they untied me and lifted from the chair. They pushed me to follow Saul out the door. I followed him to the room that my friends were being held in. When I looked inside Sean was standing up he looked a lot better, but he still looked like he got the shit kicked out of him.
"Sean, you look better how you feeling?" I asked.
"I'll be ok, I'm feeling better than I did when I came back." He said.
"Wolfy, What do they want? Why are they doing this to us?" Briel asked.
"They think that we may be spies for Herobrine. I tried to explain to them that were from another world that Notch sent us to help. I told him that there is a note from Notch explaining our situation." I said.
"So what are we going to do now?" Briel asked.
"Now you're going to take me to your home and show me this note." said Saul walking up to us.
"Sean, Briel this is Saul Leader of the free Villagers. He's the one that were going to show the note to." I said.
"No, You're going to take me to the note." He said pointing to me, "Your friends are staying here if you betray me your friends will be as good as dead."
"What?" I said. "I'm not leaving my friends here like you said I don't know you. How can I know my friends will be safe."
"If your friends are harmed in any way. I'll let you kill me deal." I said with a smirk on his like it was a joke.
"Fine." I said.
"NO, David don't do this." Said Sean.
"Seans, right we can't trust this guy how do we know he'll keep to his word. Wolfy please don't do this." Briel said.
"Guys I have no choice if I don't do this he could kill us. I'm not going to let that happen. The two of you are my family I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." I said.
As I turned to Saul nodding to him we walked over to the door. I turned to my friends it almost felt like I might not see them again. As the door closed I turned to Saul who looked at me and pulled out handcuffs so that I couldn't do anything. When he was done a guard pushed me to start walking down the hall. As we made our way done the narrow hallway there were door after door none were open and no noise coming from them. We stopped almost bumping into Saul, I looked around him seeing that we were at an iron door. He knocked on the door with a rhythmic patter and soon the door opened with another pair of Villager guards standing at attention. We walked through the room opened up and I realized that we were in an underground fortress so massive that I couldn't even see the ceiling. I stopping in wonder how long did it take for them to build this place and how long have they been down here. It wasn't just a military fortress there were families, homes lining the walls stacked on top of each other. The guards urged me to keep moving as I looked at the city I noticed that the city was built with a organized fashion. The bottom of the houses were used as farming and store housing, the next were used as hospitals and military quarters, and finally the next levels were used to house civilians. As we walked through another set of door we entered a new cavern. It looked like an armory for the soldiers to train for the upcoming battle. Some were training to hand to hand combat and some were training on horseback.
We walked over to the building that was in the middle of the cavern there were villagers doing work and planning on small tables. There were four villagers standing near the wall looking at an oversized map that seemed to be changing. They must me looking at the movement of the enemy and seeing if they were heading towards any villages. One of the villagers noticed that we walked in and ran over to Saul.
"My king, the zombie army is moving in the east heading south we have scouts going on ahead of them warning nearby villages that the army is coming close." Said the villager.
"Very Good, keep up the good work. I'm taking this prisoner back to where we found him and his two friends. He claims that he has proof that he was sent by Notch to help us in this war." He says sarcastically.
"Do you want us to keep an eye on you to make sure that the path is safe my king." He said.
"Yes I don't want any surprises on this trip." Said Saul.
"As you wish. Would like me to ready a small escort to come with you on this journey." Said the Villager.
"No need I can handle this. If I anything happens I don't need to have an escort to slow me down."
"Very well I'll ready two horse for you and this creature." Said the Villager.
"Hey, I am right here I can here!" I said.
As we walked out of the building I could see that there were groups of people staring and pointing at me. I paid no attention to it I just continued to walk behind Saul. How was I supposed to help these people when they don't even trust me and wanted to kill me? We arrived at a stable and a young boy came running up.
"Father, Father where are you going? You said you would stay longer this time." Said the child with sadness in his voice.
"Aww my son, don't worry I won't be gone to long this time. I'll only be gone for a couple of days this time. I promise." Said Saul.
"OOOOk, but be back as soon as you can my training starts next week." Said the boy.
"How could I ever miss my son's first day of training? I couldn't be more proud of you. Be good and take care of your mother and sister." Said Saul
"I will, I won't let you down." Said the boy as he ran off.
"My son has the heart the heart of a true warrior. He will be a fine king when I'm gone." Saul said.
"I can tell he has the passion just like his father." I said.
"Aye he does." He said.
As we left the command center of their operation we soon arrived at a pair of houses that were being used as stables. I was ordered to stay by the door while Saul went inside to get us supplies and horses for the journey. While waiting for Saul to return I heard a scream come around the corner of the stable. There was a crash and I quickly ran to see what was going on. As I rounded the corner, I saw that a horse has escaped its pen and is now running ramped in the courtyard. I young boy was trying to catch it before it got away.
I quickly ran to help the boy to help him when all of a sudden the horse turns to me and I see in his eyes that he is in complete fear. The horse stood on its back legs and started to kick. I was able to duck from the horse's hooves but the kid wasn't so lucky the horse nailed him in chest and he went flying. He landed with hard thump onto the ground about 10 yards from me. I turned towards the horse who was trying to get away running around looking an opening. I ran in front of the horse not sure what I was going to do.
"Whoa, Whoa come down." I said in a calm voice while waving my hands.
The horse dropped on all of his legs and backed away from me. I slowly walked towards it slowly so that I don't spook it.
"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm your friend." I said.
The horse calmed even more and it slowly took steps to me. I reached out my hand and the horse put its nose in my hand. I finally was able to get a better look it was a solid black horse with white at the hooves. All of a sudden I heard someone clapping and I turned to see that it was Saul with a big smile on your face.
"Well done, well done. You have been the only one that has been able to come the horse down since we brought it here. No one has been able to approach it yet alone calm it down." He said with a big smile.
"Thanks I guess." I said.
"If I find out that you are letting me the truth I think I'll let you keep it, but you are lying ill crush you under its hooves." He said.
I gulped with fear and turned to see that the boy was still lying on the floor. I ran over to him to see if he was ok. Saul ran over as well and checked his pulse. He looked at me and shook his head. The boy had died because of too much trauma caused his heart to stop.
"I'm sorry I tried to help him when the horse panicked." I said.
"It's not your fault the boy disobeyed my order. I ordered that no one was allowed to go near the horse alone. He paid the price for it. I'll have one of my men to notify the family." He said.
He grew silent for a moment to where I almost though you could hear my own heartbeat. We stayed there for a moment until the horse nudged me with its nose. Saul looked up at me then at the horse.
He said, "Come we must hurry before it gets dark."
We walked over to the gate where another villager was waiting. He handed me a saddle and a pack full of water and food. I walked over to the horse and put the saddle on it. After I had secured the saddle on and my pack I started to climb on when all of a sudden the horse reared up and knocked me off.
"What? Why won't you let me on?" I asked.
The horse just bowed its head multiple times. That's when it hit me this horse wants me to ask for permission. I walked in front of it looking it into its eyes.
"What are you doing? Get on the horse and lets go your wasting my time." He said.
I turned to him and said, "Hold on I have to do this."
I turned back to the horse and looked it into its eyes once again. I bowed my head and asked if I could climb on. In response the horse bowed its head and kneeled down. I walked over and slowly climbed on. It quickly rose and walked over the Saul and his horse.
"You are full of surprises, but this doesn't change a thing about what I think. You still need to prove to me you and your friends are not spies." He said with a smile.
"Very well, but when I prove to you that we are not spies you owe me and my friends an apology." I said with a slight hint of anger in my voice.
"If you prove to me, but for now let's ride the sun is rising and the days move fast." He said with a wide smile.
We rode on past many villagers training for battle many looked at us some with fear, some with anger, and some with hope in their eyes. They could be hoping we are the change that could save them.
We finally reached a pair of massive doors behind it I did not know, but I felt like I may not be able to come back. I looked behind me and saw many people staring at me. I looked back at the gate and noticed that there was a small shack on the right side of the gate. The door opened and an old man with a long white beard walked out. He wore a long brown rob and walked with a hunch in his back leaning on a passive walking stick.
"Aw, my king what gives me the pleasure to see you hear this morning?" Said the old man.
"Good morning Sog, gate keeper of our home; I am taking this boy back to where we found him and his friends. He means to prove to me that they are not spies." Said Saul.
"Very well travel fast and return to us safely. We need your leadership in this war." Said Sog.
The old man walked back to the shack and to the right was a lever. He grabbed it and with a struggle was able to pull it down and a second later the doors began to swing open. As the door opened a massive gust of cool wind rushed into the cave giving me a rush of freshness. I took in a deep breath and looked inside the doors the tunnel that was behind the doors traveled about fifty yards then the path pointed up.
