Chapter 4:

Nightmares

Levi opened his eyes and was met by the sight of darkness-a strangely welcoming sight for him. He sat there quietly and without moving, remembering faintly that something wasn't quite right in his normal routine. His eyes glanced about the room, finally landing on the spare bed that Steve had set up several hours before. As he watched the figure move underneath the covers, he suddenly remembered. And with that memory came a groan of annoyance. Elf Boy. He thought, staring intently at the bed. That was the reason for the feeling of strangeness. Awkwardness, almost. It was strange being in his own home, at least the home that he had lived in for the past five years, yet at the same time having the feeling that it wasn't quite his own.

As his eyes continued to bore into the area of the room where Elf Boy's bed was, he noticed that she was groaning and squirming underneath her covers. He attempted to fall back asleep, but when the method of putting his pillow around his ears and head failed, he resorted to getting up and walking over to Elf Boy's bed.

He was ready to give her a piece of his mind-Tell her to be quiet or he would feed her to a hungry pack of wolves. But when he was finally towering over her, he saw that sweat droplets were dripping down her face, and that she was actually muttering words under her breath. Suddenly, his urge to tell her to shut up disappeared.

She was having a nightmare. Steve had them sometimes too. Even he had them a couple times, back in his first year that he was with Steve, and after the raider incident. But this nightmare didn't seem normal. This one seemed different.

He knew that he should wake her up, and he was planning on doing just that until he started to make out the words she spoke. He heard the word woman, and he heard the word light. And then suddenly, her dream seemed to shift. Elf Boy started to yell about not leaving her, not wanting to be alone. To Levi's surprise, he found himself sympathizing with her.

Unsure of what was the right thing to do, he shook her shoulder. "Wake up." He whispered quietly, trying to not awaken Steve. "Come on, Elf Boy."

Her eyes shot open, and she stared into his white eyes with fear. She laid on her bed, paralyzed at the sight of him. Then suddenly, it seemed to come flooding back to her. "Levi." She simply said, then sat up. Neither spoke for a moment.

"Why did you wake me up? Has your heart finally melted and you're actually accepting me-"

"Hardly." Levi replied. "I could hear your screaming from my bed. My nose was already hurting from how bad you smell, and quite honestly, I didn't the want the same to happen to my ears."

Surprised, Elf Boy just blinked, then cautiously sniffed under her arms. "I don't smell!"

"You're the source of it, Elf Boy, and there's no denying it." Levi smirked.
"Maybe it's you." Elf Boy replied quickly.

"Like I said earlier, you're the cause of it. Before you came, my nose was in perfect condition-" He was interrupted by the sound of Elf Boy's stomach growling.

"Do you have food?"

Levi shook his head. "I cleared out the chest yesterday. The wheat isn't ready to be harvested, and it's your fault that Voices and I didn't manage to hunt anything except a cow, which was too scrawny to actually eat."

"I'm sorry."

Levi was taken back. She hadn't apologized before, so why now? "I can go out and get something for myself." She offered, but Levi shook his head.

"I need to go and hunt a bit." He said. "Voices and I are on the verge of going insane from lack of action."

She nodded. Levi put his sword sheath on his belt, and grabbed his sunglasses from his nightstand. Tucking them into his t-shirt, he started to head towards the door. "Thanks for...Thanks for waking me up." She said awkwardly.

He didn't even turn, simply pointing at his ears before the darkness of the night consumed him.

A pair of bright blue eyes gleamed out into the gloom of the forest. With a quick flex of its fingers, the unknown humanoid creature unsheathed its sharp claws. A small, innocent rabbit hopped into the clearing. The creature, which had seriously believed that it would die without a somewhat decent meal, gave an almost reluctant grin. It had wanted a meal, after all, but its prey was so adorable-With a firm shake of its head, it went back to focusing on that problem at hand. It had to survive. It was the only one of its species-Well, actually the villagers could also be an option for company, but it couldn't stand them at all.

Preparing to pounce, it watched the rabbit greedily.

Suddenly, a sword came flying from another part of the forest surrounding the clearing. The creature hissed angrily as it saw its prey get stabbed through the heart with a diamond sword. The figure of someone appeared, a large canine standing at their side. They removed their sword from their small victim, slinging the dead rabbit's body over their shoulder.

"This should do for now. We can hunt more tomorrow." As the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, the person was revealed to be an older teenage boy. Tucked into his blue t-shirt was a pair of sunglasses. The sword was returned to the sheath at his side.

A gasp escaped its lips. "Herobrine." It whispered, then quickly covered its mouth as the white-eyed man spun around to stare into the shadows where it hid.

"Not another one." The deity groaned. The wolf next to him gave a short bark. "No. I'm not having a repeat of Elf Boy." Cue another bark. "What are you saying? I can't stand Elf Boy at all!" In response, the wolf whined. After a minute of silence, he spoke with reluctance. "Fine. I'll let them come home with us. But if they annoy me, I won't hesitate to feed them to a horde of zombies." The wolf gave a satisfied bark, and Herobrine said, facing its direction, "You can come out now. We know that you're there."

Cautiously, it stepped out into the clearing from its hiding spot.
