Butter

Chapter 17

I pulled out my diamond sword. Lars jabbed at me and I blocked it gingerly. He swiped downward and my grip on the sword loosened. I lunged at him and aimed for his chest. He blocked with great strength and the sword shot at the wall and embedded it's self in the wood. "Lars!" I yelled and climbed on my dresser and fetched the sword down. When I pulled it out it left a giant chunk in the wood and I had to respawn it. As I was climbing down I threw the sword at him. He deflected it and it clattered to the floor. I jumped down and knocked a wool tipped arrow in my bow and shot it. It hit him in the chest. He then grabbed my sword off the ground. I knocked another arrow and he allowed it to bounce off his sword. I took a bow and we began to laugh. "You're a good archer!" He commented. I put the bow and arrows back in my inventory. "Maybe," I started, "we can train together." He nodded and gave me a hug. Lars and I were really connecting.

I went downstairs. Danie and Abby were baking again and I felt everything coming back to normal. Alexis was furiously reading the monitor's screen. I sat down on the couch in front of the tv. Rain pounded on the windows, but i loved the rain so it didn't bother me. I turned on How I Met Your Mother and watched that until I fell asleep. I dreamed of peace throughout all servers and happiness radiated through my body.

I woke up to Lars shaking me as hard as he could. I instinctively slapped him, thinking it was Coco bothering me, but he slapped back and I knew it was him. "Lars?" I grumbled. I wiped my mouth with the back of my sleeve. I must've looked like a mess, but I didn't really care. "Hey!" He shouted and shook my shoulders harder. I kicked my leg out and he dodged. "What? What?!" I yelled back. I opened my eyes and saw Lars standing on the couch. He had his sword out and positioned at the doorway. "Why do you have that out?!" I yelled. I leaped up and swiped it out of his hand. Now we were both standing on the couch. I jumped off and put my hands on my hips. "Expain." I demanded. I was irritated from being woken up. "Chill Butter," he said, "I was just playing around with Coco, Louis and Gen." My scowl left my face. "Fine" I said, tossing him the sword. He caught it as he jumped off the couch and took off running into the main part of the house. I resumed my position on the couch, but wasn't in the mood to sleep. My thoughts wandered to the fact that I would be fighting the wither in 27 days. I pulled out my bow and knocked a wool tipped arrow. I quickly glided forward and leaped into the air. Before I touched the ground I shock. The arrow landed with a thud in another room.

Archery had always been my strong suit. When I was 10 Alexis and I were taught by the amazing Mr. Coco. He showed us the basics and allowed us to create our own versions. Immediately after Alexis began constructing ideas to improve arrows. Her first was the infamous invention of the wool tipped arrow. It allows us to practice on each other and perfect our moves. Slowly she developed more and more amazing things, including fire arrows. It was spectacular. A bow and arrow was always my weapon of choice.

I peered around the corner and saw Gen whip by. I knocked and arrow and did a sommer sault for affect. At the end of the roll I shot in Gen's direction. I had knocked an arrow that allowed for temporary paralysis of the nerves touched. It was perfect during training. It dove into the wall, taking a piece of Gen's blue shirt with it. I laughed and ran toward them. I saw Gen and Coco take off in separate directions. I shock arrows down the two paths they took, then I ran in Gen's direction. I knew he was going to the backyard so I planned a quick ambush. I turned and went the same way but taking another path. As I grew closer to the door that lead outside I could here footsteps coming closer. I turned around instinctively and saw Lars running at me, his sword flailing. I knocked an arrow and shot. It hit his chest and he fell to the ground from the temporary paralysis. I continued running. When I reached the backyard I knocked an arrow and waited. Sure enough Gen came from the other exit. I quickly shot my arrow and he landed on the ground. Coco came running toward Gen after he screamed before he realized it wasn't a real arrow. I nailed Coco in the leg and smiled at a job well done. "Good job" Gen grunted. "Of course" I replied. I slung the bow and arrows over my shoulder and helped my friends up. Training with Alexis had payed off. I could destroy the Wither.
