Butter

Chapter 16

I peered over at Lars. He lay calmly in the bed. "He's gonna be really shocked when he sees where he is" debriefed Absol. We nodded in understanding and waited for him to open his eyes.

Around 10 minutes later he stirred. He moved around in the bed. His legs twitched and I stepped back. Absol gently touched his chest with her soft hands. It was amazing to watch her work, she was so meticulous. He awoke suddenly, his eyes flashed open to reveal two perfectly blue irises. I could hear him hyperventilating. He gripped the sides of the hospital bed until his knuckles turned white. Lars stared around at Louis and I. His eyes darted and he looked like a scared animal. He screamed once and then began to calm down. I could hear the heart monitor becoming more steady as he inhaled breaths. "Where am I?" He gasped his first words. "Where the hell am I?" He demanded. Absol could tell he was distressed. She carefully allowed more morphine to come into his IV. I decided this boy had enough silence and I spoke.
"You are on the server Cococraft. I am the Owner." I began, I then continued to explain everything. The boy nodded and I could see the fear leaving his eyes. Then Lars did something unexpected. He leaned towards me and pulled me in for a hug. His arms wrapped around me and I wrapped mine around his. "Thank you" he said as he released. "Thank you for saving me from that madness. Now please help me out of here." I smiled and gestured to Absol. She began pulled all the monitors off of him and the IV. She carefully helped him up on his crutches and he came over to Louis and I. He gave Louis a hug as well. "I'm ready to learn about this server" he said.

I began to explain myself. "My name is Butter," I said, "I am the Owner of this server, Cococraft. My server was hit by Herobrine 2 days ago. Then the day after one of our staff members was struck by the Wither. We came to your server thinking your staff could help us defeat them, since they had in the past. Well it didn't turn out too well. My Admin Louis was taken away by your boss. That's why I went to the jail. You were there and I saw you attack a member. I responded quickly and shot you." I took a deep breath. He pulled me in for another hug. "I'm sorry for hurting that member. The boss on that server is very strict. I would be happy to serve this server considering you saved my life. If I were to be found on Mineplec I would have been beaten because I was too weak to defend myself. I don't even know why I served them in the first place." He hung his head low. "So, is your name Lars Woodson?" interjected Louis. Lars laughed, "yes, how did you know?" "We found a card in your pocket." He replied. Lars smiled. "You guys are the best!"

I lead Lars out of the HorseBarn. He eyes twinkled in the light. His shirt was very dirty so we were headed to my house to take one of Gen's. I hoped he wouldn't mind. When we arrived at the house everyone was gathered around. They all stared at Lars. "This is Lars" I presented. They smiled and broke into an eruption of conversations. Lars followed me upstairs. I gave him a brown shirt of Gen's. "So you got any special talents?" I asked. He bowed at me and I was confused. Then he pulled a diamond sword out of his inventory and began sword fighting an invisible person. I laughed as he lunged. Then he ducked and rolled forward and sprung up while slashing his sword through the air. At the end of his performance I clapped. "You'll be a very important asset to our staff family!"
