*During the meeting the others were having upstairs*

After I hear Zane leave the building, I sit down and think about what might have happened in that chair. I sit and ponder, trying to unlock memories.

Then, it all comes back to me.

I whisper to myself, "He must have merged an Ender Eye with my dna... I'm part Enderman.". I chuckle slightly, as it is a little ironic, with my name being Ender and all. Then a thought starts to formulate.. what if I can teleport?

I close my eyes and relax, but envision myself outside of my cell. It can't be this easy right? I open my eyes and sure enough I am outside of my cell. I try not to make too much noise as I don't want to alert the guards. I try once more, this time I want to teleport to the Nether portal in the woods. When I open my eyes, I am still inside the jail house.

I guess it has a distance restriction.

I just use it to teleport behind the jailhouse near the woods, so I stealthily walk into the woods, avoiding the sight of all villagers. I successfully make it to the Nether portal when I realize I forgot a weapon and armor. I sulk back into town trying to be careful and break into the small warehouse where they keep weapons. I steal just a simple sword and some armor that seems to be the same that they confiscated from me when I went all crazy.

I am reaching the woods once more when I hear a screech that sounds like Brynn coming from the jailhouse. I sigh as I start to go through the Nether Portal.

I guess I won't have much of a head start as I originally wanted.

I feel the heat of the Nether heat my face and body while I am in this Armor. I find my way to the same Nether fortress that I met Gene, and I hear subtle laughter in my head. I know he is watching me, and knows that I wish to end things. Yet his laughing seems confident as if he knows that I will not succeed. 

I make my way up the stairs of the Nether fortress and look down from the top to see Garroth, Juniper, and Zane appear from the portal. I think that they can't see me from here, but I am quickly wronged when Juniper glances my way as if she can sense me.

"Please don't do this Ender! We can find another way," she yells up to me. I listen to her words, but I turn to walk away in the direction of Gene. I feel as if this upcoming battle is fate, and I must move forward with it now... or he might be the one seeking me out in the future. 

I hear their footsteps follow me, but I know they are most likely to get lost if they can't find traces of me. I move faster so they may not follow. 

I found the room that I was manipulated in, the chair still sitting there as if nothing had happened in it. From behind me I feel a presence, and I draw my sword, I already know who it is. I turn to face Gene as he also pulls out his weapon, that is when I know things are going to get complicated... he has a greatsword. It could slice me in half in one swipe. I choose not to let my fear blind me.

We engage in battle, and the sound of our swords clashing echoes through the halls of the Nether Fortress. Eventually, Gene throws his greatsword to the ground and looks at me with pure evil in his eyes. 

"How about we fight using our hands.. seems more interesting. I want to see how strong I've made you my precious experiment!" Gene shouts at me. 

As a knight, I vowed to fight fairly and justly, so I throw my sword to the side. I wave him forward to strike first, as I think about what he called me. He called me his 'precious experiment', that was absolutely revolting. Honestly, I would kill him just for saying that. Our battle gets bloody fast, and at one point I thought I was going to lose as he grabbed my long hair and pulled it to expose my neck. I thankfully kept my dagger on me, so I sliced my hair short. The sudden release of tension on my hair threw off his balance. He stumbled into me and I threw him over a nearby edge, which I thought meant the end of the battle since the edge drops straight into Lava.

The next few moments happen so fast as my friends round the corner. They must have heard our swords earlier and used it to find us. While I glance in their direction, I feel a hand on my leg that drags me over the edge along with Gene. Gene at the last second grabbed onto my leg which sent me over the edge with him. I clutched onto the closest hand hold. I knew I was going to fall shortly as the faces of my friends peeked downward at me in panic.

"We can help you up just wait for Garroth to come back with something to help!" Zane yells in panic. I smile up at him sadly.

"I can't hold on that long.. I am already starting to slip and I have to make sure he dies Zane. I'm sorry, he has made me into a Monster. I'm sorry," I let out a worried tear," Take care of everyone Zane.. and take care of yourself."

I let my hand go and close my eyes as I fall. The last thing I hear as I fall is Zane's voice.

"No! I love you! Please no!".

I smile peacefully.
