Hermitcraft and Empires Oneshots

Kidnapped pt. 4 (continuation)

This is the first and hopefully but probably not last part of my continuation of Itz_Larissa's one shot kidnapped.

Wels P.O.V.

Each one of us took off in sequence, deciding to go through the nether to get there faster. I was holding Jevin while flying through the small tunnel, an uncomfortable prospect but it's not like there was another way.

There wouldn't have been the time to wake him up there, so I decided I would just carry him to Xb's base. Besides, then it would give him more time to come out on his own, instead of forcing him out, since I knew that hurt him.

It took a while until we were at the portal for Xb's base, since it was so far away. Also the fact that we kept having to stop for people bumping into the walls of accidentally landing on the floor wasn't helping.

Eventually we decided to just walk the rest of the way, and I repositioned Jevin so that I was giving him a piggy back ride. It wasn't the most comfortable at the time, but I was sure that it would be easier than any other way to carry him in the long run.

The red of the netherrack was only interrupted by the grayish-red veins that ran through the block. It was a while of the same monotonous trek, and the oppressive heat of the nether didn't help at all.

It seemed like days had passed when we finally got to the purple swirls of the nether portal. Moving into a single file line out of instinct, we went through one at a time.

I stepped out onto the post apocalyptic shattered savanna of Xb's base, marveling at the astonishing builds scattered around. When I spotted the main base floating in the sky, I was dumbfounded at how he made something that big in the sky.

Xb led the way, and we all took off to his base. I was still carrying Jevin, and I held him tighter to my chest as we flew up into the main part of the floating structure.

We all landed pretty smoothly, and I set Jevin down on a bench next to a wall. Immediately Grian came over to where I was, presumably to check on Jev.

My suspicions were confirmed when he opened his mouth to speak. "How's Jevin?". "He's fine," I responded, pausing before deciding to give him an explanation. " He just does this whenever he's stressed and doesn't have a fun of ice cream to consume. "

"Technically I can get him out of it, but it hurts him to do that and I'd rather wait as long as possible to see him get out on his own." I finished up with that, hoping that Grian wouldn't mind waiting a bit.

" Yeah, I think we can spare a bit of time. I bet I speak for all of us when I say we don't want any unnecessary pain to be inflicted upon our fellow server mates. "

I smiled thankfully, returning my attention to Jevin who appeared to be stirring slightly.

Jevin P.O.V.

I was faintly aware of motion, but ignored in preference to stay in my little safe mind box, rewatching memories of me and Wels when we were younger. I went through memories of me watching his sword fighting competitions, when I would congratulate him afterward.

I tried to stay away from memories of school, but I carefully picked through to find as many happy ones as possible. Of course they were all with Wels, since the knight was his only friend.

His home life wasn't particularly happy either. While it wasn't bad, his parents were just never home. They were always off on some work trip or visiting old friends.

He did also run through some good memories of sleepovers at Wels' house, how they had fun playing games and talking, how occasionally Jevin would just end up joining Wels instead of sleeping on the mattress on the floor, especially on nights when he had nightmares.
