Winged Warriors( A Hermitcraft 8 fanfic)

Chapter 2: Uh...

GeminiTay 1st POV

T/W: Mentions of self-harming

"Uh...Xisuma! Hi..." 

"Gem. Explain. I saw the particles of your invis potion. Why did you leave?" Xisuma's eyes bared into my soul. Or well, tried. I've seen a lot worse then a stare. Like, Entity 303 just visited my house. 

"Uh, so, I was a little busy...and had to go...to...do something...and didn't want to disturb anyone?" I stumbled over my words. Honestly, it sounded more like a question than an answer. "...ok..." Xisuma did not look convinced. 

"Show me your arms." said Xisuma. 

"Uh...what?" I started to panic. Every watcher at the end of training had AT LEAST 1,000 whip marks for pain tolerance. I wasn't the most obedient so she had at least 1,000 whip marks on each body part. And that was basically screaming: "I'VE BEEN ABUSED AND YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE ABOUT THIS!" 

Xisuma then proceeded to grab my arm and roll up my sleeves. I had to hold back the urge to release a huge blast of watcher magic and give him a concussion. "Why?" he asked me.

"Huh?" I thought he'll think I'd been abused! Does he think...I cut? 

"Why do you do this?" he asked me again.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," I told him. 

"Why do you hurt yourself?" he asked with a pained expression. I almost threw up. HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT? Just tell him I've been abused? 

"I don't...I'm just...clumsy...yeah...clumsy..."

Xisuma sighed. "I know I can't force you to say anything...but if you need to talk, me and any of the hermits are there for you." He walked out of the door, but not before I saw him chug down an invis pot and disappear.

And then my suspicion level rose out of the roof. He probably wanted to spy on me. "Entity, if you appear now, it's your fault, not mine," I muttered under my breath. 

I didn't have anything to do, so I tried out the dripleaf parkour again. I succeeded in all the jumps and did it again, and again just to pass the time. I changed to watcher vision and wandered around the house to see if Xisuma's still here. Oh my gods, Xisuma is so persistent, I thought to myself. At this point, I just couldn't anymore.

"Hey Xisuma, wanna explain why you've been following me for the past 10 hours?" I said.

He stayed silent. 

I was trying to not just force Xisuma to show himself.

"Xisumavoid, I will literally cut myself right here, right now in front of you if you don't show yourself."

"Ok, ok, calm down, we can talk about this." A bucket of milk appeared in the air and Xisuma slowly started to reappear.

"I was following you...to make sure you don't do anything. It's just...as admin, it's my duty to make sure every hermit is happy and feels safe. I don't want you to..." He struggled to find the right words.

"I don't, ok? I actually don't. I'm sorry, I can't tell you where they actually came from, but that's for your, and every other hermits' safety." I told him. I then flew away, using elytra this time.

"Gem! Wait!" Xisuma called. "It's fine! Just-"

I quickly flew out of distance. And then, an 'old friend' appeared beside me. "Entity 303, can you PLEASE leave me alone, I didn't tell him, so GO AWAY."

"Aw, sweetie, is that a way to talk to your bestie?" cooed 303.

"Shaddup, you're not my bestie." I didn't even look at him.

"Just came to give you a reminder, don't tell anyone, or..." his hands crackled with purple electricity. 

"I know, I didn't tell them, so leave them alone."

"Of course, just remember, if I kill anyone you know, their blood is on your hands." 303 flew away, laughing victoriously. 

"Dang you Entity." 

The world was cruel and unfair. I learnt that at the age of 6. I was dragged away from my home at the age of 5 and 3/4's. My sixth birthday was really not that lively. It was just spent with my roommate, Xelqua. Or rather, as we know him now, Grian. I know him very well. But he doesn't remember me because I erased all memories of me expect the ones of Entity 303. 

I was once good friends with Grian. I was one of the rare exceptions that got to keep my original name. I agreed to call him Grian when people weren't looking. He and I always stuck together and both had the most powerful magic as a base. Except I was 3 power points higher than him.

His file said: Dangerous. Extremely powerful magic. All watchers to stop him if rogue.

While my file said: EXCEEDING POWERFUL MAGIC. NOTCH TO STOP HER IF ROGUE.

I was good at magic. Maybe a little bit too powerful for my own good. Entity can't tell the other watchers of me because it would cause mental issues because my magic was only a tad weaker than his. It would mess up the mind of even the most powerful watcher. And the most powerful watcher, excluding me, is Grian. Or rather, Xelqua.

I unconsciously flew to Boatem town, while thinking of Grian.
