The Story of WonderCraft..

Chapter 18

Two days later..

Took me a day or two, but I have regained the ability to breathe through my nose. Arnold, however, might've caught whatever I had. And I kinda felt bad for him. So, here I am, at the bunker, with tonic in one hand, and soup in another.

"Arnold?" A groan came from under the covers.
"I said I'm f-" he sneezed loudly.
"I don't know about that." I said, giving him the beetroot soup. "You can't eat in this position."

"If this is how you felt, my sympathy for you has gone up by so many levels. But how'd you get so sick in the first place?"

"So I was in the snowy forest, and I was a bit.. underdressed, to say the least." I explained.

"And why were you over there? Like, I know you were exploring that day, but I didn't know you were in the snowy forest."

"I was.. going to prank Isaac with snow golems in his base but I couldn't see any in the chests." I said, instantly thinking up a cover story.
"Can you cuddle me? Please.." Arnold said.
"You're too cute to say no to." I said, laughing before giving him a hug.
We ended up spending the day cuddling and talking.

A/N: sorry needed the cute moments, they're so heartwarming

By the next morning, we had finished up all the war preparations. Our crossbows were locked and loaded with fireworks that could one-hit everyone. We also had a ton of TNT, in case things got to that level.

"Are you guys ready for this?" I said.
"Born ready." Wait. Someone wasn't here. No, not again.. not now..
"I-" I ran to the enchanting setup. I hid in a corner and cried. Cried like the world had just collapsed and I was the only one who survived.

Someone had just kicked the door open. "April?"
"What?" I snapped.
"Is something up-? I'm here if you wanna talk about it."
"It's nothing." I shrugged it off.

"It's not, I can tell. I've known you for nearly 10 years, I know when you're upset."

"It's Noah." I admitted. "He left us, like Kiara. He left me, like how my parents left me, like how Samuel left me in the cold. Like how everyone I knew and loved left me. Why is it always me? Why? Why it is that whenever I meet someone who's a good person, they leave me? What did I do to deserve this? Am I a villain, a bad guy, a freak?"

"You're a good person, April. You don't deserve to be treated like this." he held out his hand, which I took. I then got up, brushed my fears and tears aside, and went back up to surface.

"Ain't no crying until the war's done." I said to myself.

"Alright, I'm back. Here's the plan. Olivia and Yashi are gonna go distract Samuel's group. Then, some of us can sneak attack him, while the others take down his forces."
"3, 2, 1.. action."

Olivia and Yashi slowly went to the festival area, where Samuel and Kiara were talking. They'd managed to distract him, even if it was for a few minutes. That was all we needed.

We went right to Samuel and instantly took him down. His team, however, had different plans. They attacked from all sides, and everyone was completely stuck. That is, until they were distracted by Samuel getting knocked out and we escaped.

Samuel eventually came to and got some hits on us. Our armour saved us, though. And then.. I don't even know how to describe it. Just keep reading.

"That's Noah!" I noticed. "Is he attacking Ava and Yashi? Either way, we're getting him."
Everyone got him all at once, and he somehow survived. He actually got away. And he kept attacking Ava.

"Ava, I didn't want to do this. But, women are temporary." And he shot Ava dead.
And that's not even the end of it. Yashi took him on for killing Ava and Noah then targeted Olivia. He was this close..

"Olivia, get out of the way!" Just at the last second, Roman jumped in and saved her. But really, at the cost of what? His life.

As he lay on the floor, he whispered to Yashi, "Thank you.. for showing me what's it like to be a human." And then within a moment, he was completely unconscious. He was.. dead.
"Incoming!" I said, seeing James with Roman's crossbow. If he pulled it..

"Anyone needs this?" Well, that's one problem solved. I grabbed the crossbow and passed it to Yashi.
"Well, well, well. Look who's here."
