Chapter 26

A/N:
YUSH MY DEAR READERS, it seems I have posted another drawing. A failed one at that. *Sobs*.
Someone teach me.

I closed my mouth. "Proof."

"Alright." Her arms disappeared while her skin turned green. Her legs were now four. I looked at her. A creeper? She transformed back.

"When I explode, I don't die. I just respawn onto my bed back at home. It's the same with actual creepers, it's just that everyone thinks they die."

"Cool." I said, cooling off. (Get it? Even though I didn't do it on purpose).

"But well, thanks to you, I'm on the run. People want to be 'rich'."

"Sorry, I guess."

"By the way, you owe me after I saved your life twice." She said in an 'as a matter of fact' tone.

"Twice?!"

"Yeah, that was me and Chelsea, back when you killed the king, who were invisible."

"Awesome."

"I made a cool discovery. Shapeshifters don't only shift. They have powers. For example, since I shapeshift into a creeper, my powers can make stuff explode."

She pointed her palms at the gold blocks. They exploded into a shower of gold nuggets. "You can also grow the body parts of the mob that you shapeshift into. And you can teleport without shapeshifting. Or you can summon a ball of ender plasma or the dragon's breath. They're deadly." She explained. "But in order to use your powers, you don't imagine them. You try to push your extreme emotions into your fingertips. While you do that, tense your fingers. When you let go, the powers will come out."

First, I will try to grow ender dragon wings and tail. I imagined them, as my shoulder blades sharpened into wings. The tail was black and spiked with purple spikes.

"Wow, Emma. You look awesome!"

"Thanks, Amy. You helped alot."

"One last thing. You can make your eyes completely purple and glowing, without any irises. Or, you can make your iris alone glow. It's mostly used to scare people." She said. "By the way, the legend says there is only one shapeshifter in a Minecraft world. We're.. well, two."

"Umm..yeah.. About that.. I came from another flat world and teleported here."

She paused. "Whatever. It doesn't matter. I just want to see you use your powers, I want to see Ender Plasma. The most powerful of all is the Ender Flare. But it isn't for beginners."

"You think the thing I did back at the facility was Ender Plasma?"

"Nah. Just some flames, any shapeshifter can summon them with their color, thats why yours were purple." She answered. "Now do the thing."

I closed my eyes and focused on my emotions. I thought of how much I wanted revenge. Of way everyone treated me. I clenched my fists. It was as if my emotions were flowing through my veins, pulsing at my finger tips. I tensed my fingers. I held them in front of me, and let go. I heard a deafening crash while I opened my eyes. Amy pushed me backwards..

I looked up. There was a gigantic hole in the wall, and seemed to be a mile deep.

"What the actual heck?" Said Amy. "What the heck were you thinking of? Don't let it go out of control!"

"I'm sorry, I just.. Thought of my past.. I guess.."

"What past? Why did you even come here in this cave! You could've stayed back there! You could've bin happy!"

I grimaced at her. "Happy. HAPPY? You don't know how it feels like to be rejected, to be betrayed. I didn't come here out of my own will, alright? I stayed there and didn't run away for my friends. But turns out, even they betrayed me! And my revenge is coming soon, and easy as hell, thanks to the powers I have!" I spat.

Amy's voice softened. "I do know how it feels like to be rejected and to be betrayed by your own friends whom you have known for six years! But you.. You haven't.. Do you know that your friend has gone through hell because of you? Do you know that this Alex has cried her eyes out for a week and has bin threatened with five years in prison? Has bin kicked out of her own house because of you? And you call that betrayal!"

I stared at her. "No.. I didn't. I didn't!" I said, tearing up.

Amy looked at me like she couldn't care less. She shrugged. "But.. They told me off. They told me to never come back. I keep having nightmares, Amy. Every single one, the words echo around me. Once in a dream, there was a thousand clones of them, and they were walking toward me like zombies, and they... they...told me to...." I couldn't continue. I stared at the ground.

"To go and never come back." Said Amy.

I stared at her in horror. "How could...you know that?"

"I was there. I know everything, Emma. And I went through the same thing, but.. how could they be saying the sane exact words?" She said. "Thats what I always wondered. Now come along, and return to your friends."
