The Story of WonderCraft..

Chapter 32

And there he was. I saw him.. with his smug smirk.
Samuel.

"Where did you come from?!" I dropped everything in horror. He was holding Arnold with an axe close to his neck.
He was gonna kill Arnold.
"This was all a ruse, April. All of it."

No, this couldn't be happening..
"You-" Samuel had my book. I attacked him with my axe. It broke his shield. He got a sword hit on me. We were on a cliff that was rather tall. And I was standing on the very edge of it.

Samuel then hit me again with his axe and I went falling right off the cliff. I was this close-
Wait. I had Ender Pearls. See, Ender Pearls are an item that you can use to teleport. We'd gotten some of them when we were in the Nether a few days ago, bargaining with the Piglins.

I aimed for the very corner of the cliff and threw it.
It landed.

After a while of fighting, I got my book back and was going to put it in a chest. Samuel threw an Ender Pearl where Arnold was and got his axe out again. He raised his shield and it nearly broke because of the axe.
"April!" he screamed in fear. "He's gonna kill me!"
I stopped.

"He's gonna die, April." Samuel said tauntingly.
"Make your decision. Arnold dies, or you give me the book." I didn't think twice and gave him the book.
Now, you might be thinking, "That's a horrible idea! All your memories!". And you know what I say?

Make backup plans for your backup plans.

See, I had 2 books, the real one being hidden far away. Samuel had gotten the backup, or in this case, a decoy, in case the real one was lost. Therefore, I had an advantage here.
He cackled. We were now in the panic room. Arnold wasn't here.

"So, let's see. If I can control the things you're attached to, April, I can control you again. I can control everything you do, I can make you the bad guy again! I can put the blame on you!"

Arnold suddenly appeared there. "April, your memories. I'm not worth losing them."
"You're worth more than them, Arnold. I couldn't let you die just like that! Please don't do this. Please."
"You too are so sweet I'm getting cavities." Samuel gagged. "I can't stand this."
James and Noah also appeared.
"James?-"

"I'm sorry. But you should've listened to Arnold." he shot fireballs at Samuel and had him cornered. He escaped, though and started attacking Arnold and I. (A/N: this is directly a reference to chapter 13's dream, btw)

"Arnold, behind you!" I pulled his hand and ran through a tunnel I'd made to the house.
"Step away from them." Noah pulled out his sword. "Or else."
"Look, I can explain!" Samuel insisted. "I'll tell you everything!"

"You know what? You told me everything!"
"Listen-"
"I've done all the listening for a lifetime. I've heard enough." I went closer to him. "Any last words?"

"April, you don't need to kill me. We were friends." I sliced his hood in half.
"April, we were friends!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Listen!"

"I said it once, and I'm not saying it again. I've done all the listening I need to do now."
"April, I- Diana's my older sister."
"You're telling me this now?!"
"Yes. I wanted to-"
"You just lied. I can tell. That's no reason to make me spare you and your pathetic life."

"If I die, then she won't revive you. If I die, you're stuck like this forever."
"You forgot something, Samuel. Diana doesn't have a revival book. Someone else does."
"Don't you try to act so smart, April!" and he got a sword hit on me.
"Samuel, you promised! You promised you wouldn't hurt anyone else!" and he killed me.

The last thing I heard was a scream before I hit the ground with a thud.

A/N: Can we get an o7 in chat for Ghostpril? I really loved writing her as a character, tbh. The confronting bit in chapter 29 and the prison part in chapter 30 was really epic and honestly very different from the usual stuff I write.

Oh, and Ghostpril had only one canon life in case y'all were curious.

Also, if ur wondering that last line meant, the Samuel voice said a while back that he wouldn't hurt anyone and I forgot to mention that soo yeah
