The Enderdragon's Baker (A Minecraft Story)

Phantom Worries

He stopped at a room at the end of the hall, holding the door open for me. I walked in and my eyes widened slightly.

In front of us was a homey apartment with everything in it. There was a small living room on one side with couches, chairs, and bookcases. Behind it was a wall with curtains, partially open to show a little bedroom. A kitchen covered the wall entirely. It was all nether brick and spruce but it was a huge room, the whole thing covered in plants, paintings, and colorful carpets.

"Wow."

"Nice, right?" He chuckled. "Until the heat dies down, this'll be your home. They don't visit all that often, so after that you can come up if you want or stay down here and wait for your 'heroes'."

"This is really nice, thank you." He rose an eyebrow at this.

"I am still holding you here. Even if I don't lock the doors."

"Yeah, but you could have just left me in that stone box, but you didn't." I smiled brightly now. Maybe he isn't as bad as I assumed. "So, thank you."

"Uh, your welcome." He said, still a little shocked. "Your... a little off, aren't you?"

"I'm friends with Boss mobs and immortals, what part of that is normal, exactly?"

"Fair enough." He chuckled. "Oh crap, the food!" The door slammed as he ran out of the room fast, making me laugh hard.

Yeah, he's definitely no different.

*HWACK!*

"Ah!" Brine scrambled slightly and fell off the couch, the pillow he'd been hit with falling onto him when he hit the ground. "Why do you people keep doing that?"

"Because your friends piss me off. Stop leaving them unsupervised." Wither growled, dropping beside Notch. Ed had gone back home, feeling many people entering his realm all at once.

"What do I look like? Their babysitter?"
"Yes." Notch answered.
"And a bad one at that." Withe added.

"No, that's Endie's job. It was important anyway." Brine grumbled and climbed back onto the couch, turning his back to them all.

"Speaking of which, where's Anna? Did she leave already?" Notch asked, a little low now. "What a shame, I liked her."

Herobrine shot up, eyes wide and looking around for the short girl. 'She wouldn't just leave and wander, right?!' He mentally panicked. "That woman!" He teleported away only to end up back in place. He stayed silent for a second before trying a few more times. He slowly looked at his brother.

"Please tell me you can still feel her here?"

"Calm down, she probably just went to Ed's and he's blocking you again." He quickly teleported away and didn't come back after. They chalked it up to him searching his castle but Wither was genuinely surprised.

"I haven't seen him that freaked out since Endie got hurt." He mumbled. Notch chuckled. He was well aware of how much he's come to adore her. Sure, he'd never admit it, but a reaction like that is pretty hard to ignore. "What's with that?"

"Anna has become one of Brine's closest friends, right there along side Endie actually."

"Why? Last time I heard, she's just some little mortal who can bake well and who Dragon boy adores." He left after getting dinner out so he didn't get to talk to her much before he gave her food and left. Aside from a sarcastic comment from her when he locked her door, he couldn't see any reason they'd be that close.

"She's got her surprises. Trust me." Notch hummed. "But I'm sure you'll find out on your own." Wither paused, silently cursing himself for whatever he did to make him catch on. "I won't tell them you have her, yet, but be warned. If you hurt her, Wither, I won't be able to save you." Ok, that comment worried him. "I might even help them."

"Like I told her, I have no intentions of that." The nether boss sighed. "It's just a little revenge prank. If it means so much to them, you can even tell Endie and Ed about it. I doubt they'll mind."

"Oh- I can't wait for you to eat those words." Notch laughed hard and stood up. "Out of everyone, I'm sure I'm the only one who trusts you won't hurt her. But I am worried they'll kill you, so just don't go too far." He shook his head and began leaving the room. "I really did just create adult toddlers..."
