Avery's POV

I finally woke back up. I don't know how long I was out, but long enough for them to put me in a cell. After sitting there for a little while, I finally looked up weakly from my cell. I was chained to a wall. In a sitting position, but my hands chained up to a wall. My head dangling. I could smell blood. It was my blood.
I could feel it. And let me tell you it wasn't a nice feeling.
I could hardly see anything. All I could see were the outlines of the moss-grown walls from the faint light the red-stone torches were giving.
All of the moments that had just past me flooded back to memory.
Sarah. The poor little girl didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve any of it. And now she's dead.
Gone.
"Gone." I mumbled under my breath. It didn't seem right. Something had to be wrong. Sweet Sarah.
It was her step-father. He killed her right in front of me, and I know that the body of her is lying on the floor of Herobrine's throne room.
I felt a tear roll down my check. Why shouldn't it? After all I had been through.
She was like my sister. My only sibling.
No.
She wasn't.
I remembered.
Benson.
Benson. He is terrible.
I don't have another sibling.
Benson is no sibling of mine.
But the thought was still weird of how it all came together.
Benson was my brother that free willing took up an offer by Herobrine to be turned into one of his guards. That was before I was born. Then he married Sarah's mother and became Sarah's step-father. Her evil step-father.
Another tear rolled down my cheek. The second tear. After all this time I hadn't really been crying. Now I am.
2. Two tears. I've held myself together for long enough.
Three.
It's time to let go. Let myself cry.
Four.
Then I did. All of the stored up tears that I have been hiding ever since I arrived at the Nether were finally released.
Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
Too many tears to count now.
"Well, well. Looks like someone isn't as strong as they led themselves on to be." I heard a voice say.
I rattled the chains as I looked up at the one and only Herobrine.
"A darn shame to." He continued, not waiting for me to respond. "I was hoping to be able to break you right now, but it looks like that's already done. By me. It just didn't happen when I was here."
"You haven't broke me!" I snapped back.
He teleported right in front of me and lifted my chin so I was looking right into his soul-less white eyes. "I haven't hmmm? A non-broken person doesn't cry." He stepped back and smirked.
"Yes they do! It shows that they have something you lack. A soul! Feelings!" I yelled, pulling against the chains.
In a swift moment I felt a searing pain on my left cheek. He slapped me. Hard.
Don't cry, don't cry! I told myself. "Why don't you just kill me. You've taken everything else!" I screamed at him.
He laughed. "Once again not broken?" He rolled his eyes mockingly. "I have a reason. I want to make you suffer."
"Why! What have I done?! I entered your guards territory and I know I'm king to die because of that but what did I do to deserve something worse' I'm sorry about entering your territory, but-" I stopped myself. I wasn't going to finish that sentence.
"You didn't do anything to deserve what's coming next, you're right." Herobrine said.
"Then why are you doing it. If I don't deserve it? For pleasure maybe?!"
He smirked and started pacing around the room. "Like I said you didn't do anything. I never said anything about your parents." He stopped pacing, turned to me and gave me an evil smirk.
"M-my parents?" I stuttered. "Wh-what did they do?"
He started pacing again. "They told my brother. He's coming. They made one deal. One. And they broke it. I made them a great deal to. A fair one." There was a pause.
"What was it?" I finally asked after a moment of silence.
"That they never told anyone else about me or my guards. They tell everyone I was a myth." Herobrine said finally gazing at me again. "This is their punishment."
"What could be worse than this?" I muttered under my breath.
Herobrine laughed. "Something much worse." He said tauntingly. "Something. Or should I say somewhere." Somewhere? Where could he send me that's worse then here.
"It's a place you probably don't even think exists." He continued.
"A different dimension you could say."
A different dimension?
"It's unlike Minecraftia in so many ways."
"Like what?" I asked. My voice cracked a little. Maybe he had broken me.
"Well for starters not everything is square. There's no magic either." He said, smirking.
It sounded familiar. I knew I had heard of something like that, but something like that doesn't exist. It couldn't.
"Oh, I left out the one major major thing." Herobrine taunted.
I wanted to ask what, but I wouldn't let my voice crack like it didn't before in front of him, so I just stared at him.
"The people in this world think Minecraft is just a computer game." Herobrine cackled, creating a power ball in his hand.

That's when it dawned on me.

I knew exactly where he was taking me. I prepared myself for the worst. "It will all be over soon. I will not remember a thing when I get to the new place I'm sure." I murmured.
"Oh dear, dear naïve Avery. The worst is just beginning. This is the beginning. This is the beginning of the end..... of you. "

Then the power ball hit me.

There were only a few words I could make out and they were, "Oh and don't worry deary. You will still have all your memories in this new place!"

That's when I blacked out.
------
TA-DA! That's the end! I know I left you on a cliffhanger, but that's the point! There will be an epilogue, then I'll get started on the new book. I still need some name ideas for the next book. Winner will get to be a character in the next book! I'll add an authors note when the next book is out, and remember to tune in for the epilogue.
Until later.
Rachel out.
