[Red pov]

I still don't understand. We were just fine a few minutes ago, now we're all running for our lives. I don't know what or- who caused the explosions but it sounded dangerous, very dangerous. And we still don't know where Chosen is. I packed up all I could, weapons, food and supplies even Reuben. (Of course.) We all ran, away from the explosions. I feel like crying. I don't want the same thing to happen to the house 8 years ago...

We kept running and when we felt like we were far enough and didn't hear any more explosions, we slowed down and started walking. We didn't talk. We were all still confused. It was already evening so we all decided to rest after a while. we started talking about what happened and sharing thoughts.

"Maybe it was a... Creeper? " green said.
And that made me shiver.

"Nah, couldn't be. It's too big to be a creeper. What do you think? " Second said to yellow. "

Blue groaned. He was rubbing his head with both hands, looking down at his knees. the sign that he is frustrated. I mean, we all are. We're all clueless about what's happening.

Yellow sighed.
"I'm not sure. But we should probably eat now. And quick. The sun is going down. "

"And that means... " green gave a worried look.

"Yes. Hostile mobs will spawn. We have to somehow survive them. "

"Ugh... " blue grunted again.
Having hostile mobs at night isn't unusual, but we've just never really fought them much because our house has some kind of protection that Chosen set on the rooftop that doesn't allow mobs to spawn on the house. So we don't fight much.

We set camp somewhere in the forest because it was getting dark. The others were already tired, I was the only one who wasn't. So I told them I can do the lookout while they rest.

While doing the lookout, I heard a rustling sound behind me, I turned on my flashlight and turned around, a black silhouette was hiding in the shadows.

"Who- who's there?" I asked.

The silhouette came out, and it was Chosen. He looked as shocked as I was.

"Chosen!" I dropped my flashlight and hugged him almost immediately.

"Hey... Buddy... " Chosen brushed my hair as I hugged him tightly. We stopped hugging and he asked me something.

"Where are the others...? "

"Oh, they're at our camping site. I'm only here to lookout. You should come with me. I can tell everyone that you're  still ali-"

"No-no. You don't have to. " he cut my words before I could finish.

"... Why not..? "

"Well... You see-" before he could answer, an explosion echoed through the forest, coming from our camping site. I ran to the source of the explosion with no hesitation, leaving Chosen behind.

I returned to the camping site, which was now on fire. I was shocked. I looked for the others. I was screaming their name until someone grabbed my hand from behind. I jumped. It was second.

"Red! " he looked glad to see me.
"Come on, we have to run! " he ushered me through the forest.

"But-but where are the others? "

"I'll have to explain later. Come on! "

We ran through the forest, dodging other mobs that's trying to get us.

After we felt like we were far enough from the fire we start fighting the mobs.

Everything was going well until  a creeper ran to me. I jumped. And fell and my back. I've always hated  creepers. They were the reason my parents died. And I always get a panic attack when I see them. The creeper was about to explode. Luckily, second stabbed it and it died before it was able to detonate. Second offered me his hand.

"Come on. Just a little more until sunrise. "

I took his hand and kept fighting.
I was still fighting and then a jmzombie jumped on me. I fell and it also fell right on top of me. I was preventing it from biting me by using my sword. The zombie was... Very heavy. I looked over to second, hoping for a little help. But he seemed busy with his own thing.
I tried to push off the zombie, but it didn't work. And I couldn't hold him for much longer. I was thinking that I might get bitten, and that was the end of it. Byt, as dawn breaks.  The zombie started burning. It jumped off me. Every other zombies and skeletons around us were the same, burning.
And eventually, they all dissapeared.

Me and second stood there in silence.
After a few second, I fell and rest my head on a tree. I was breathing so fast, I couldn't calm myself.

"You okay?" second quickly lend me a bottle of water. I chugged it down fast.

"Yeah. I'm- I'm okay. Just... Tired. "

Second sat next to me. He patted my shoulder to calm me down.

I sighed.
"So... Do you mind telling me what's happening? "

"Oh. Right. So, uhm. Basically, we were just sleeping and then I heard someone walking outside. I thought it was you, so  I didn't do anything about it. And then suddenly, an explosion happened. Everyone woke up. I got separated from the others while try to looks for you. And I saw someone that looked like you. But... He was different. He had scars on his eyes, his hair was long. He was uh, wearing a coat that was all ripped and broken. And he looked like someone that would start a fire. I ran away and found you and, well, here we are. "

I nodded. The guy he assumed had burned the place sounded familiar. And the  I thought about the guy from the news. His face had scars, he was wearing a coat. Wait... That coat...

I realized something.
"Wait, you said he was wearing a coat, right? "

"Yeah? "

"What color was it? "

"Uhm... Probably like... Brown? "

I thought for a moment. And then I remembered. That coat, might be the same coat my brother was wearing when I lost him.

"That coat... Might have belonged to my brother... "

"Your brother? The one that chosen was so desperate to find? "

"Yeah... He was wearing his favourite coat when he went missing... It might be him. "

"So... You're telling me that you think that the person who attacked us... Was your brother? "

"Yeah."
Suddenly a dark shadow appeared not too far from where we're resting.

"Oh, what now?! " second got up and took out his weapon.

The dark figure came out of the trees, and it was... The same person that second saw a the camping site.

He was shocked. I was too. He looked exactly like my brother. No doubt for that. Seemed like he followed us here.

I tried to talk to him.
"Brother...? "

He scoffed.
"Brother? Don't be silly. My brother died years ago. "
