Hypnotism (An Cloud SMP Continuation Au)

Chapter 3

(Toby POV)

I had just gotten enough bones to make more bone meal when my phone rang, signalling the alarm I had set so that I would keep track of time.

Keep track of time...that was one thing we couldn't do back down there...

I shook my head, trying to rid myself of these thoughts. It didn't help that I was in a deep cave, almost similar to that underground place...

I got out of the cave as quickly as possible and checked the time. 11.15 a.m. It would take me 20 minutes to get there if I ran fast enough.

I ran all the way there. When I got there, I was exhausted, but still slightly on time. I had taken a shorter time to get here than I expected. Now was 11.30.

"Hey, Toby!"

I turned my head and saw Clara running towards me. She was wearing a bright red hoodie, different from her usual light grey sweater,and on her hands, were what looked like similarly coloured gloves.

"Hey Clara, what's up?"

"I decided to head to my burger place first. After all, I own the place."

"Where are the rest?"

"Kee and Pastel are already here. Simon, I bet, will be coming in-" she counted down on her fingers.

"-3,2,1."

As if on cue, I could hear the sounds of Simon's helicopter coming closer and he appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey guys!"

I was surprised at first, before I started laughing.

"That was perfectly on cue, what the heck-" I said, still laughing.

Clara checked her phone. "11.40, let's go guys."

We entered the burger place, where Kee and Pastel were already sitting together, talking to each other. The rest of us sat down at the same table, while Clara went behind the counter and disappeared into the back. When she came out again, she was wearing the restaurant's black staff apron, but not the red uniform.

"Welcome to Cloudell Burgers, how many I help you?" Clara said, walking up to the table where we sat.

(And yes, Cloudell is Clara's last name.)

I looked around and saw that Pastel was trying not to laugh. Clara was also trying not to laugh too.

"You're literally the only employee that's here. No wait, scratch that, you're the only person who works at the store." Kee said, restraining his laughter too.

"I'll just get some burgers for us to eat, give me a second." Clara said with a flourish, disappearing into the kitchen.

Clara returned less than five minutes later with five burgers. "Here are your burgers, enjoy-"

Out of nowhere, there was a sudden loud, piercing wailing sound. We all clamped our hands to our ears. "What the heck?!" Pastel said.
------------------------------------
(Kee POV)

I clamped my hands to my ears, yet somehow that did nothing the deafen the piercing wailing sound.

My thoughts started fading, only to be replaced by one single thought, repeating over and over...

Destroy Everything.

Destroy Everything.

Destroy Everything.
------------------------------------
(Clara POV)

What the heck was that?! I covered my ears as tight as I could, yet the sound wasn't deafened.

However, nothing seemed to happen to me. I felt perfectly normal.

I opened my eyes.

(Toby POV)

"What the heck happened?!" I heard Clara exclaim.

I removed my hands from my ears. The wailing sound had stopped.

"Is everyone okay?" I said.

Pastel and Clara looked at me, faces filled with shock. However, Kee and Simon didn't move.

"Kee? Simon? You good,guys?" Pastel said, snapping her fingers in front of their faces.

Just then Kee straightened up. However, something was wrong with him. His usual light brown eyes were now purple, with spirals in his eyes. I took a step back. "What the hell?"

Simon also straightened up, but his eyes were also the same as Kee's, purple with spirals.

Just then, Simon pulled out his diamond sword and tried to stab Clara with it, but Clara had a shield, and deflected his attack.

"Snap out of it, you two! What's wrong with you?" I yelled.

Both of them seemed not to hear us. Their faces did not have any sign of pity, shock or panic, more like...joy.

I thought of the only thing I could think of.

"Run for it!"

The three of us- Me, Clara and Pastel- ran out of the restaurant, and into the first escape route we could think of, Simon's helicopter.

I pulled out my flint and steel and lit fires to prevent the other two from getting to us. We got in, Clara at the wheel having training from Simon on how to fly a helicopter.

So she was basically the only one who could fly a helicopter. We then took off.
