(AN: I'm back :D, wow almost an entire year! Sorry I've been gone so long, It's my last year at school and I'm so ready to get done with it, thank you guys so much for waiting if your still around :') I'm sorry if this chapter might seem a bit lazy.
Alex looked at Steve, her mouth slightly agape as she was sitting on a log and listening to Steve's story. Steve had finished about a few minutes ago and was slightly worried by Alex's reaction. He looked back at Phil and Enderman, they both shrugged, not sure what to do in this situation.
Steve looked back at Alex and she seemed to be in thought, "Alex? You okay? I'm sure this whole situation with talking mobs and weird Herobrine thing might seem strange-"
"Might seem strange?!" Alex had exclaimed, Steve flinched and was taken aback by her reaction and so was Phil, "This can't be real..." She got up and sighed, holding her head in her hands as she walked.
Steve followed Alex, but at a distance, with a nervous look and tried to talk to her again, "Look, this is just as weird to me as it is to you! I-I'm sure we can work this out if we worked together-" Steve was once again interrupted as Alex turned around looking angrily at Steve, Steve was almost frightened at by her look and leaned away slightly. "So this is what you wanted from me? Only to come back for a favor? You haven't even sent a letter since you moved away into your grand dad's house and then you expect me to follow you on a dream trip with some mobs?!" She explained, which Steve felt guilt bubble inside him at the realization, Alex was basically his sister and yet he never even sent any letters to keep in contact...
Phil and Ender exchanged a look, two different reactions at most, they'd rather not deal with an angry Alex...
Steve fidgeted for a moment under Alex's gaze, "Alex I know, a-and I'm sorry that I haven't been around as much as I used to, but Alex I really need you on this!" Steve was getting desperate at this point, if Alex didn't help him who was he supposed to turn to...
Alex scoffed and turned away, "You've got to be kidding me..." She said under her breath, she looked back at Steve. "Only on one condition."
Steve wasn't sure about this, doubt and suspicion bubbled inside him but he nodded anyways, he really needed Alex with him. "Okay, what is it?"
"Move back to the village." Alex said, completely serious.
Steve was caught off guard, Move back?... he repeated in his mind.
"A-Alex please-"
"Please Steve, you can't be alone anymore, you can't keep running away from your problems..." She said almost gently but also firmly. She wanted Steve back into the village, with everyone else, instead of being that lonely man that lives in his grandfather's house.
"But you know I can't go back! After everything it was time for me to move out of the village..." Steve explain, he knew Alex was stubborn and wouldn't let it go that quickly.
"Steve... Just trust me. This will be better for you I promise.." She said, a sad smile on her face.
Steve sighed, and nodded avoiding her gaze, he really needed her and if he had to move back to the village so be it.
Alex was actually surprised he agreed so quickly, and smiled, "Then I'll join you on your dream trip of an adventure here..." Steve looked back up at her, "Okay its not an adventure-"
"Yes it is." Phil interrupted beside him, his bony arms crossed. Ender beside him with a deadpanned face as usual.
Alex looked at Phil and Ender, still confused, "How are you able to talk anyways...?" She turned to Steve, "How come there not attacking either?"
Steve sighed, "I'm confused about that too, although I wished someone would shut up sometimes." He turned to Phil and he just shrugged, with a smug face, how that was possible Steve wouldn't know that either.
"I've just kind of got used to it..." Steve shrugged, then a thought popped into his head, "Oh Alex! Do you have things we need, because heh, I haven't been able to pack anything..." Steve said sheepishly.
Alex sighed and shook her head but still had a smile on her face, "Yeah c'mon, I have a few things to take with us..." She then led them back to her house.
Phil and Ender also followed, Phil walked beside Steve, and whispered, "Do we really need her though?... I have a bow too." He said, as if he was jealous, was he? Steve had a suspicion he was. Steve rolled his eyes, "Phil, that doesn't matter as long as we have greater numbers..." He said then looked ahead once again. He was getting worried about Ender though, he was strangely quiet, well he is usually quiet, but more than usual... He looked back at the dark mob and had seen Ender had been looking fidgety almost his purple eyes darting around the trees they were surrounded by. Steve looked ahead once more as they neared Alex's house.
Hopefully with Alex, things might turn out easier or at least better...
