Butter

Chapter 12

The black mist felt like a vacuum on my skin. I could feel the pressure against my skin. Suddenly I was dropped in an empty room with dirt walls. In front of me was the glowing light of a list of servers. I spoke clearly into the IP section. Suddenly I was lifted off the ground. My hair whipped in my face and blocked my view.

When I could finally see I was in a very busy spawn. Louis stood next me looking around. People milled the streets and made it very hard to see. I heard someone screaming at the top of their lungs jibberish. Then I saw a very well dressed person swoop down at the screaming person's feet and handcuff him and drag him away.

"Where to go first?" yelled Louis over the noises of the crowd. I pointed forward and we took off that way. We sprinted over to a purple portal. We synchronized glances and hopped in. The mist filled my vision and as I started to see again I noticed I was in another section. "Hello?" I said. "Hello!" called down a voice. I stared up and saw a man in a suit flying above me. "Are you the owner?" I asked. He nodded and dropped to the ground. "We heard that you were attacked by the wither" Louis interjected. "We were" he said blandly. "What happened?" I added. "Follow me" was all he said.

We followed him into a small brick house. There was fire place going and it created a welcoming atmosphere. "Sit" he gestured to two plump chairs in front of a well kept spruce desk. I wasn't sure how they ran staff around here, but it seemed stricter. "So why do you need me?" He asked. He leaned over and grabbed a sheet of paper and filed it in his drawer. "We were threatened by The Wither that he would destroy our server in 30 days!" I blurted out. Louis agreed with a head nod. "I see. And you want our help?" His looked angry for some reason, as if we were wasting his time. "Yes, yes we do. We need your guidance" Louis replied, his voice calm and collected. "Fine." He said rather harshly. I could see Louis fumbling his hands in nervousness. "We just used our best PVPers. That's it." His eyes turned cold and black. I leaned back in my chair feeling utterly intimidated. "That's it?" Louis looked shocked at his lack of an answer. "What more do you want from me?" He yelled at Louis. "What is your problem kid? We need you help!" Louis half screamed, half asked. "Excuse me?" The man's face was turning red. He pounded his fist on the table. "You. Do. Not. Call. Me. Kid!" He screamed back, "Guards! Get them the hell out of my office!" His voice shattered my ears. The most I could do was give Louis a unforgiving glare. Louis' left eye was beginning to turn black like Gen's.

A very large guard picked him up by the shoulders. He struggled against him but didn't succeed. I sat there alone watching my friend being whisked away. "What happened?" I said softy, my voice shaking in fear. "We didn't get along." He said gruffly. "Where can I find him?" I said in a stern voice. "Eh, the jail. It's where I put all the bad members." "The Jail?!" I was dumbfounded. "Fine."
