"Lora, please wake up." A soft, husky voice greeted me as the color showed up once more.
"H-Hero?" My meek voice surprised me.
"Thank Notch you're alright! It's me, I'm here. You're ok."
My eyes opened to greet his blindingly white ones. "Hero!" I fell into him, wrapping my arms around him with the intention of never letting go.
"Wait, I think I deserve something after that rescue." He looked me in the eyes, attracting my attention immediately.
"Oh sure." I say half-heartedly, before leaning in and planting a kiss on his perfect lips. I then tried to pull away, but he had a grip on me, an iron one at that. So I just took a breath and kissed him back. Our lips melded together as if they never had before. He pulled away earlier than either of us had liked, for he heard a voice that I had ignored.
"Excuse me, this is cringey for everyone." A masculine voice sounded. (my friends hear this phrase every day lol)
Herobrine gave me a look.
I ignored him, knowingly angering him. "Who are you?" I politely ask the man.
"Notch. And you are...?"
He looked at me with an interest in my eyes.
Hero, what color are my eyes? Why is Notch watching them?
He turned his gaze to me, and I knew he had heard me.
Thank Notch he can read minds.
"The orange has completely disappeared now, replaced by blue."
"Orange? Y-you saw that?" I turned my face away from them, ashamed and embarrassed.
"Excuse me, young lady. I asked you what your name was."
I hide behind Herobrine, his harsh voice frightening me.
Will he hurt me?
"No. Tell him your name." He reassured me.
"M-my name is Lora, sir." I made sure to block our vision. I didn't want anything to happen, though I knew Hero would protect me if something did.
"Hmm. Interesting. Are you sure, or did you just make that up for yourself?" He could see right through the guise I had been wearing for many years.
I didn't respond, just hid behind my loving Herobrine.
"Do you mind if we have a minute alone?" I couldn't tell who he was talking to, but Hero gave him a nod before turning to me.
"This man will not hurt you. Just answer honestly, my dear."
I giggle. "What did I say, Hero, hard to get."
"Just don't be afraid of him. I am still here, just yelp for me if anything happens. He cannot do anything to you that I cannot rescue you from. But first," he lifted her chin, looking into her eyes,"I must do something."
He placed one hand on my head, warming my skin in a blush.
"There. Now I can track you wherever you go."
I nod, and give him a hug before he steps away, leaving me to face Notch alone.
"Lora, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Yes sir."
"What do you think of my brother?"
"That's a very general question, sir. Could you be more specific?"
"What do you think of him, appearance wise?"
I blush deeply. "If you don't mind me using the word, he is (bleep). And confident, and cute, and so perfect. There isn't a single thing wrong with him, appearance wise, as you put it."
"How about mentally?"
"He is protective, and romantic, but knows his boundaries and hasn't dared cross them. It's a little disappointing, if we're being honest, but it's a good trait. I don't understand him, even though he can read me like a book."
"Has he ever.. how do I put this, caught you without clothes (should i censor this more?), or vise versa?"
"Awkward," I whisper before continuing,"No.
"Do you want to?"
"You're asking me to be honest?" I question him.
He gives me a straight look. "Yes."
"Alrighty then. I love him. With all my heart, and with love comes lust, so yes." (im being honest… geez)
"Do you like to sing?"
"That was out of the blue. Um, well I did. My friend died in a car crash where we were singing. It was our favorite thing to do in the car. But yes, it's enjoyable when no one can hear you."
He pondered on that.
(Switching to weird POV. Don't know what it is called, but it uses you instead of me or I.)
(Nevermind, it's first person.) (lol, im funny)
"Has he sang with you yet?"
"No. I've only known him for two days, sir."
"And yet you both say you're in love."
Your smile fades, and you hear the voices in your head calling you names.
Worthless. Useless. Ugly. Pointless. (bleep( this is so much easier)). Dork. Stupid. Wasteful. Dumb. Pathetic. Weak.
"Did he say those to you?"
You realize you said them aloud, mouthing them as they popped into your mind.
"No. He's the one who tried to dispel these beliefs. He tells me that they are lies, but I know they are not."
"So you think all those things about yourself?"
"I know them. I've been taught them since I could understand words."
He looked at you, your tiny frame shaking in cold.
"Last one. Do you love him?"
"Are you joking?"
"No."
"Yes Notch, sir. I love him. I don't know about him, but I love him with everything I've got."
"Ahah. We shall see."
The world starts spinning, around and around, until you find yourself in an empty taiga biome. There was nothing. The snow was falling heavily from the sky, freezing you solid. All you have on is one of Herobrine's teal shirts, and your pants. The cold wind wrapped around you, locking you in a cold limbo.
"Help, someone, anyone!"
You call uselessly into the winds though you know no one can hear you.
"Help, please!"
You sit down in the snow, trying to keep warm in the dropping temperatures.
"Hello? Is someone out there?" (jsyk this is not Xora speaking)
You perk up. "Help!"
A tall man comes up to you, outfit reminding you of Herobrine's.
"Hero? Is that you?"
He came closer, and helps you up and out of the snow.
"Hero? I guess I'm a hero, but my name is Steve."
"Steve? That is a strange name." You tell him, sure that you've heard it before. But you can't remember anything except your name, Lora.
(Wow, lol. I'm impressed with myself)
