The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

nether search

POV Crystal 

"What is your plan?" 

I stared at the map on the table. I ignored that voice, I...I was regretting what I said, should I be regretting it? he's my enemy now. I walked from the map and to my room. 

"What is your plan?" 

I growled. "Right now I don't have one I'm working on it," I said. I walked pasted the shattered mirror. 

I stopped, each bit of shattered glass was showing different images, different versions of, one was curled up in a ball, another was punching a wall. then one dressed in the grey hoodie, staring at me with my own blue eyes. was this real? 

"Why are you doing this Crystal?" the mirror me asked. 

"Doing what?" I asked.

"All this? hurting the people you care about? who cares about you?" 

"Because I...I..."

"You don't know do you, do you?" I stayed quiet. "you know this is wrong, what you're doing, what you did to Dex, what you said to your brother, you know what..." 

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! WHO ARE YOU TO TALK TO ME LIKE THIS!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"I'm you, Crystal," 

I pulled the mirror off the wall and chucked it across the room, sending the splinters across the room. I screamed my lightning flickering across the room, smashing serval windows and burning the walls. 

I turned and stormed out of the room. learn on the wall, holding back tears, what am I? I clenched my fist, I marched to the cells, two pillagers behind me with their axes ready. I walked up to the cell with Nina and the blond-haired man. 

"Have you translated that note yet?" I asked. Nina didn't answer me. "Answer me Nina, or...I'll leave you locked up in a room with a handful of zombies," I said. 

"Their coordinates, for somewhere in the nether, but...but it doesn't match anywhere on this map, you gave me," I took the note from her that contained the coordinates, and turned to leave. "Crystal please, let us out," Nina called. 

POV hogsworth

so much has changed in the nether, a new king has risen, but he rules with an iron fist, and anyone with ties to the old regime are executed. that included me and infernius, so us and a handful of my loyal pigmen are camped out in the old nether fort. 

I was just staring at the centre of the room. "I hate this, I hate all of this. at least Kyle didn't threaten to kill us," I said. 

the flame skeleton turned its bulky head towards me. "shut up," the Skeleton said in a deep raspy voice. 

I stared at him for a long moment. "HOLY SHIT! I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR 5 YEARS AND THAT'S THE FIRST YOU SAID TO ME IS SHUT UP?" I exclaimed. 

"maybe Because you are annoying?" he answered. 

"Oh...Sorry," I replied. 

when of the pigmen ran up to us. "Something is moving in the deep part of the fort," He said. 

me and Infernius looked at each other as we rose to investigate. we walked through the hallways we saw them. about 30 zombies, all in netherite armour then I saw who was leading, it was that woman, Crystal. 

"Oh this is just great, do you think she'll hurt us?" I asked before Infernius could answer me. a pigman, a member of our group went up to her. 

"Het your not meant to be..." Crystal put her hands on the pigman's skull and unleashed her lightning. I could smell the pork on his flesh burning as I watched her flash fry him. I stood their eyes wide and horrified. watching the skin of the pigman bubble and boil.
