Cree POV

I leaned into take off the mask of the diamond armoured figure. It slid off easily so I didn't have to use much strength.
I took one glance at the figure's face, gasped, and dropped the mask in surprise.

"Emma?" I said while looking at the figure. She was a girl with long Amber coloured hair. Little bits of orange powder were coming off of her head for some reason. Her eyes were a similar colour to her hair but were a bit darker. Instead of her wearing her normal creeper hoodie, she had on an enderman hoodie for some reason.

"What are you doing here? Where have you been? What are you wearing?" I asked her. My tongue would not shut up and I had no idea what she had been doing.

"Do you wanna know?" She asked.

I nodded in response.

"Well then get these guys of of me!" She bellowed.

I looked at Tatum and Skella which meant for them to let go of her legs. Betty let Emma sit up but still held onto her arms.

"I was never raised by stupid creepers! I'm an endergirl to be exact. I just decided to say that I was your cousin so you wouldn't attack me at the time."

"Well then why is your hair orange if you're an endergirl?" I asked.

Emma pulled out of Betty's grasp and started flipping her hair with her hands or something. That orange powder was coming off of her hair which revealed pitch black hair underneath. She also reached towards her eyes and took out a pair of contact lenses. Now her eyes were glowing purple.

I stood there watching in horror. Emma was never my cousin, she wasn't even related to me.

She stood up and looked at me.

"Oh! And by the way, my name was never Emma. It was Ender."

And with that she teleported away leaving behind little purple sparkles.
All that was left was her enchanted diamond helmet laying at my feet. I picked it up and looked at it in my hands. I tightened the grip on it and threw in into the lake that was nearby.
I heard footsteps behind me and felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw Betty trying to comfort me.

Before she could say anything, my face relaxed and said to Betty,

"Come on, let's go to the skeleton camp."

She nodded and we started walking through the woods.

Time Skip

About two hours later I could see rising smoke not too far in the distance. I guessed that it was the skeleton camp. My feet were killing me and it didn't help that Emma or Ender was still on my mind. Hopefully when Pearl was there to greet us she would let us rest for a bit.
As the smoke got closer, I could see more smoke floating off in random directions. I was curious so I walked to the front and went to see for myself. I broke into a run to check the other side of the nearest tent. I instantly regretted it.

The entire camp was burnt to crisp, skeletons and skellopeople lay sprawled on the ground either dead or seriously injured.
It looked like there had been a war not long ago and it seemed that the skelowarriors had lost.
There was smoke coming off of the skeletons and parts of their bodies were still burning a bit. There were swords and arrows sticking out of some skelowarriors which let huge drops of blood escape and drip on the ground.

I felt sick to my stomach. I've never seen this before and definitely wasn't used to seeing everyday.

Everyone else came a few moments later and looked at what I was staring at. They had a similar expression to me: Pure Horror with a touch of fright and sickness.
Suddenly, Honey shattered the silence by pointing to something on the other side of the camp.
