Hermitcraft: Resistance.

Chapter 10

I'm so sorry. I truly am.

TW: yes

The pain from my wounds hurt like double hockey sticks. But I didn't even give it a second thought as we flew to the H.E.P HQ. My heart was beating out of my chest and I pushed thoughts away.

You're not going to get there in time. You. Can't. Save. Him.

I shook my head clearing my thoughts and prepared as we landed on the balcony. We all pulled out swords and I winced at the pain in my side but it subsided and I pushed it away.

We quietly walked into the main meeting room, Scar, and Grian were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?" I said, mostly to myself. "Over here!" Ren called out.

We all rushed over and saw a trail of blood leading to a trapdoor. I grinned at pulled the door open and dropped in without giving it a second thought.

"Mumbo! Wait!" I heard everybody call out, I tuned out their voices and looked at my surroundings.

It was a dark hallway, lit by only a few lanterns. Cobblestone lined the floor and gray concrete filled the walls. Moss covered everything along with vines and I had to use my sword to cut through the thickness of it all.

"I'm coming for you Grian," I whispered to myself.

I thought about letting the others help me but as I moved forward I placed lots of bricks in my path blocking them from following me. At least for a bit.

"Mumbo, don't do this. We can help!" I head Ren call out. "I'm sorry," I choked out. "This is my fight,"

I crept my way down the hall and heard, "P-P-Please, please stop." Grian.

"We'll see how your boyfriend likes you now that your pretty little face is ruined." Scar Snered. I heard Grian whimper again and I ran faster, ignoring the flaring pain on my side.

I ran the rest of the way down the hallway and saw Grian tied to a chair, blood dripping down his face from the explosion but fresh blood was formed from the knife cuts along his torso and face.

"Grian." I breathed. His eyes snapped up and Scar turned around slowly.

"Look who decided to show up." He hissed.

"Step away from him," I demanded. "Aww, but where would be the fun in that?" He taunted.

I huffed for breath as the adrenalin started to leave my veins. "I said, Step, Away. From. Him!" I screamed as I lunged at Scar. He pulled out a sword and deflected my attack.

"It's no use. You both have lost too much blood. You're as good as dead." He stated. I paled and he just looked at the ground and Whispered, "This has all gotten so out of hand. I never," He choked, "I ne-never wanted this to happen." Tears were running down his face by the end.

"Liar." I grimaced as I remember this was Scar for heaven's sake. Pain flashed in his eyes as he raised his blade again. "Goodbye. Old friend." He whispered as he lunged towards me.

I barely blocked his attack and fell to one knee. "All I ever wanted was your love Mumbo. Your love." He admitted and dropped his weapon. I was already going in for an attack and couldn't stop as my blade suck into his chest.

No, no NO!

"Mumbo?" Grian croaked. I forgot my guilt for a moment and rushed to Grians side. I cut the ropes loose and he collapsed into my arms. "Hey, hey hey. Look at me." I whispered. His head had started rolling to the side and his eyes had started to close. "No, no, no. Please don't leave me. P-Please." I cried. He opened his eyes again and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He raised his arm to brush his thumb along my cheekbone, just like he did that day in the barge.

"I l-love you." He croaked. "I love you too. I love you. I love you. I lov-" I answered as the beautiful light in his eyes faded and he went limp in my arms and I cried out in sorrow. And hugged his body close.

The pain in my side had doubled and I lay down next to Grian and pressed a kiss to his forehead and closed my eyes.
