Female Reader X Herobrine //Monster//

Chapter 42: A Waiting Game

Y/N POV

Herobrine and Steve had figured out a plan. Now it was just a waiting game. I sat in my room with Cyrus, boredly. Null and the others hadn't returned. I wasn't tired, yet it was almost 9pm. I sighed and decided to take a walk or something. As I walked down the halls boredly, I thought I heard something outside. I walked over to a window and looked out. I saw nothing, other than a few guards.
  "Strange..." I muttered.
I continued walking until I ran into Steve.
  "Hey Y/N. How's it going?" He asked.
  "Meh just bored. How about you?" I said.
  "Well... I'm lost. Herobrine didn't show me what room I was staying in. And they all look the same..." He sighed.
  "I can help you find it or one. Speaking of Herobrine, where is he?" I asked.
  "He went to go check on his brother." Steve said.
  "Oh ok." I said.
I motioned him to follow.
  "So... Do you plan to stay with him after all this?" Steve asked.
  "I still haven't really had time to think that through. I mean I'd love to, but I can't just abandon my farm. So I was gonna talk it over with him after all this was done." I explained.
  "Oh." Steve said.
  "It's so weird... My whole life I have been thinking I'd just live in the middle of nowhere alone. And now I'm here. Trying to stop a player who made himself immortal. Side by side with Notch and Herobrine." I said.
  "Heh... Life is full of surprises. I never thought we would be workig with Herobrine in all the years I've known him." Steve said.
I chuckled a little.
  "Are you immortal also?" I asked.
Steve nodded.
  "I'm only a little younger than Herobrine." He said.
  "What about Alex? I realized this whole time she wasn't here." I said.
  "She's on a different section of the continent right now." Steve said.
  "Oh ok. Also, are you at all related to Notch or Herobrine?" I asked.
  "No. I was Herobrine's replacement once he went rogue and thought he should be the main ruler or whatever. It's all a very long and confusing story." Steve explained.
  "Is that why he hate's you?" I asked.
  "Most likely." Steve said.
I stopped in front of a door.
  "Here's your room." I said.
  "Thank you, Y/N." Steve said, opening the door.
  "No problem." I said.

Herobrine's POV

I enetered the room where Notch was.
  "How's it going?" I asked.
  "Could go faster but we just gotta wait." Notch said.
The portal was a dark purple and almost as tall as me. Which means it was about %47 done.
  "It seems to be opening faster than normal." I said.
  "I've been using more energy than I'm supposed to." Notch muttered.
I looked over at him.
  "Why?" I asked.
  "I want it to be open before we find TY." He said.
  "Well don't kill yourself." I said.
  "And why would you care?" He asked, raising a brow in confusion.
  "I... I just do care. I guess." I muttered, looking away.
  "Y/N has changed you." Notch said.
  "What? No!" I said.
  "Don't lie to yourself." Notch said.
I mean, Y/N has helped keep my temper down more I guess. But I'm still me.
  "I mean... Yeah a little." I said.
Notch chuckled. I just growled a little in irritation.
  "I'll see you later, brother." I said.
  "Ok. See you later." Notch said.
I nodded and teleported away.

Null's POV

  "I say we head back to the overworld castle for the night. Maybe we can ask Scarlet tomorrow for the location of the new HQ. Maybe he really went back there." I said.
  "Good idea." Entity303 said.
  "I'm ok with that." DreadLord said.
We teleported back to the castle. I went off to find Herobrine. I found him in the throne room.
  "We will continue our search tomorrow. I was planning to ask Scarlet where the main HQ was." I said.
  "Ok. That's a good idea. Though TY would be an idiot for going there." Herobrine said.
  "Yeah." I said.

Y/N POV

I laid down on my bed, now tired. I yawned and rolled over on my side. I felt arms wrap around me.
  "Welcome back, Hero." I said.
  "I was gone for like an hour. Not even." He said.
  "I know." I muttered.
  "What have you been up to?" He asked.
  "Meh just helping Steve find his room. And then being bored." I said.
  "Oh." Herobrine muttered.
  "You have any clue where TY could have gone?" I asked.
He shook his head.
  "I'm gonna head out in the morning to look. You stay here and don't pull anything I wouldn't be happy with. Ok?" He said.
  "Yeah yeah I won't." I said.
