Butter

Chapter 18

*The picture is an avatar rendition of Lars*

Lars tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around and hugged him. I wasn't sure how this emotion came to me, but I felt in love. I stared into his blue eyes and he stared back. Almost as soon as our hug began he pulled away. I looked down at the cobblestone floor and went over to talk to Gen. "Nice shooting Butter!" He yelled. He then pretending to shoot an arrow into the air. "So, what did you put in those arrows?" He asked. I smiled. "Alexis made them. They have a low level slowness potion in them." Gen's eyes grew wider and a grin spread across his face. "That's so cool!" He said with a burst of energy. I put out a arrow from my inventory and pointed to the tip. "This is where you can put any potion" I showed him the small hole drilled in the side of the arrow. "Neat" he said. I handed him the arrow and gave him time to examine it. Coco had ran off as soon as the potion wore off so I wasn't sure where he was. I could tell Lars was standing behind me, but I felt if I looked at him I would blush. "I'm gonna go take a bath" I let out.

I went inside and ran up to the bathroom. I couldn't resist looking in the mirror. I was in horror at my face. My left eye was black and glassy. I leaped back and fell into the empty tug. Outraged at my fall I knocked an arrow instinctively and it shot and impaled itself in the wall. I mumbled to myself and got out of the tub. I walked back over to the mirror. I couldn't live with this one eye being black. I pulled up my watch and looked for an eye-color changing potion. I found one quickly and looked in my inventory for the supplies. I quickly whipped up a batch when someone knocked on the door. "Hello?" I called out. A familiar voice replied, "Hey Butter, it's me Lars." I went over to door and opened it tentatively. "Hey" I said, my eyes looked at the ground. "Butter, whatcha doing in here?" He said happily. I sighed and pointed to the counter. Inside of a bottle was a red potion. "It's an eye-color changing potion." I pointed to my black eye and walked over to the counter. "I don't like this eye. So I made the potion" I explained. Suddenly someone yelled my name from downstairs. "Sorry, gotta go" I said leaving him in the bathroom.

I rushed down the stairs. Louis was on the floor with an arrow in his leg. He groaned and pulled himself up. Gen held out a sword shakily. Marvin stood next to him with an arrow knocked. "What happened?" I said, rushing to Louis' side. "It was the Wither" answered Gen. I looked over at Louis. His eyes were wide open and both of them had pitch black irises. I picked him up off the ground. He grunted and I fumbled under his weight. I carefully placed him on the steps and went over to Gen. "Explain" I said, my voice quavering. "Well," he began, "Louis, Marv and I were training and suddenly a rush of wind hit us. Louis noticed the Wither first. He shot him, but the Wither shot back. After Louis was down Marv and I chased him off with our weapons." I nodded and looked at him. Gen still had a black eye and the scar of the Wither imprinted on his face. I pulled Gen in for a hug, happy he had defended the server. Marv still had arrow knocked but he didn't shoot. His eyes were pinned on the door. "I guess 30 days meant the official battle." I gulped and sat next to Louis. I needed to prepare everyone.
