Home Away From Home

Chapter 11: Paw!

After Horus explained what happened, we stopped training, and started digging a tunnel underneath my bed during training hours. By day, I was always tired, but even more than before from mining, so I had to use magic to make myself lively again all the time. My magic fades when I get tired, so Chaotic knew when I was tired, because Horus would look opaque again. He hid in the tunnel when Sky took us, and although he insisted on coming, us girls decided that in case I get tired again, he would stay here. He wasn't too happy about that, but acted fine. I would give him some food to eat, some water to drink, and some forms of entertainment. When night came, we joined Horus in the tunnel, feeding ourselves good food, and I gave everyone pickaxes. Whenever anyone needed another pickaxe, they didn't call me, they mind messaged me. I supplied them with three more stone pickaxes, because I would have needed iron if they wanted iron picks. We mined and mined, until we got out, but we didn't go out just then. We placed a block of dirt back there, and hung in for one more day. Now, we are ready.
To fight for our freedom.
If you read this, prisoner, here is a Swiss Army knife. Dig your way out, if you are a slave of Sky, like we were, and might be again. If you are making a YouTube video here, cover up this book. We will cover our tracks the best we can, but do your part. Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Putting the book in a chest behind the painting on the left, I magic up a Swiss Army knife, and place it in the chest behind the other painting, near the bed. I also put some dirt and cobblestone that we had from digging into the chest, until it's all filled up. I lift up the pillow, climb down the vines, and land in the tunnel to meet Horus again. We replaced the torches with Redstone ones, and decorated it to look like people died in there. Not my kind of decor, personally, but we have to cover our tracks. I sigh. "You ready?" I ask him. It's the day of our escape. He nods. Chaotic, who we now know as Crystal, has a sign. We've replaced the dirt we placed with stone bricks, and placed a redstone torch on the top block, and on the bottom, she places a sign. It looks like we're dead, because on the sign, she writes:
KEEP DIGGING
I CAN'T GO ON...
YOUR FREEDOM
AWAITS...
"Wow, good job! It really looks like we died while trying to get out!" I say, and she smiles. "You wrote the book?" I nod, answering her question, and turn to Horus. "You ready?" I ask, and he nods. "Ready as I'll ever be." I smile, and dig the dirt above it. The stars twinkle above us, as a cool breeze blows my hair. I sigh, content, feeling my hair float. I feel my feet lifting off the ground, and my eyes shoot open. My feet immediately fall back down to the ground, and I look at Crystal and Horus. They didn't seem to notice. Must've been my imagination. I close my eyes again, relaxing, and my hair starts to float again. My feet start lifting off the ground, but it's my imagination, right? Well, it is, until Horus gasps. "2b! You're flying!" He says, and I turn around. I slowly open my eyes, and look down. I'm halfway out of the hole. I start screaming, until I fall to the ground, and Horus puts his hand over my mouth. "Shh!!!" He shouts, and I widen my eyes, for two reasons. One, I'm scared of what's happening to me. Two, I forgot Sky was still in the same building, so I'm scared. "2b, you were levitating!" Crystal says, her eyes as big as mine. "And we aren't even in 1.9!" "I know. I- I- I don't know what's happening to me!!!" I whisper-scream, and it's Horus's turn to widen his eyes now. "Like Deadlox said, your not a regular Dimension Hopper. There's something special about you-" "Or Deadlox loves 2besties." Crystal interrupts, and we both glare at her. "What?" She asks. "You know I hate Deadlox, he's just a bit better than the rest because he was the only person who voted for Seto to stay in, and therefore everyone else made Seto get depression. Also, he likes Stampy's videos. Bajan does too, but he had the idea to kick Seto out. So therefore, he is a bad person. And he's Sky's sidekick." I explain, crossing my arms. She shrugs. "Okay then. I want to argue, but we don't have time to. Now levitate again." I sigh, and face towards the sky. I feel the wind in my hair, and I stretch my arms out slightly, taking in the breeze. I feel my feet getting lifted up off the ground, and smile. I slowly open my eyes, still relaxed, and look down. I try my hardest to stay relaxed, since I am almost out of the hole, and grab Horus's hand. I pull him out, and grab Crystal's hand too. I pull her out, and then I fall back in the hole. I hit the ground, kicking up dust beneath me, and look up. "I'm too tired..." I say, my eyes closing slowly. Horus leans into the hole just enough so he doesn't fall. He holds out his hand to me. "C'mon. We've got a world to save." I look at him. "I can't fight though. What good am I if I can't fight anyone out of sleep deprivation?" He looks into my eyes, and inside, I gulp. I feel like he can read my thoughts. After a bit, he smiles. "Believe me, even if you're tired, you can still fight. I've seen you." I give a weak smile back, and after a few seconds, grab his hand. "Okay." I say, and he pulls me up. I stick my feet in little patches of space in the stone as I go up, rock climbing my way out of the hole. He pulls me up, and I crumple to the ground. "It's like someone's taking my power away..." I whisper, and everything goes black.
~Horus's POV~
Great. She's out of power, and fell asleep because of it. I see Sky out of the corner of my eye, behind some sort of machine. "Sky, what have you done to 2besties' power?!" He smiled at me, and said, "Thought you were so smart?" I've taken her powers from her. Now they're mine!!!" He laughs evilly, and disappears. "How'd he do that?" Crystal asks, and I shrug. "Dunno, but let's go look for Paw and Sarah. 2besties might not wake up by then, but we have to keep an eye on them until she does." I say, and pick 2besties up. We walk around for twenty minutes, and we see Paw in the distance. "Quick, take cover!" I whisper, and Crystal dives for a bush. I lunge behind a humongous fallen tree, and set 2besties down carefully. "What can we do?" I whisper, but too loud, apparently, because Paw turns around. How do I know? There was a hole in the tree, and I peeked out. "Who's there? Show yourself!" She shouts, and I look at 2b. She looks so peaceful. I stand up. "Horus, what are you doing?!" Crystal hisses, and I ignore her. I climb over the tree trunk, getting my sword out. "Now don't even think of splashing a potion on me." I say, to Paw, and she runs up to me. She pushes me to the ground, and steps on me. "I don't have a potion. Sky won't let me." She says, and I try to slither away. I succeed, but she pulls me straight back, making me drop my sword out of surprise. She points a finger at it, and it glows purple. It floats to her hand, and she points the tip at my throat. "Goodbye." She says, and I squeeze my eyes shut. I hear a muffled scream, and her feet are off of me. I open my eye, and then the other. I gasp.
2besties.
~2besties' POV~
I woke up at the sound of metal being dropped. Wait, how'd I get here? Oh well, not important. I see Crystal out of the corner of my eye, but her eyes are focused on something beyond the tree. I peek through a hole, and see Horus and Paw, except Paw is holding Horus's sword, and pointing the tip at his neck. "Goodbye." She says, and I gasp. "No!" I whisper, and jump over the tree, ramming into Paw on my way down to the ground. She lets out a scream, but my shoulder muffles it. I pin her to the ground, breathing hard, and say, "Paw! What are you doing?!" "Get off of me!" She says back, and fidgets under my grasp. "Why are you so strong?! You were never this strong!" She yells, and stops everything. Her red eyes fade a bit, and so does her red highlights. "Memories..." I say, and scream back. I don't scream something you would expect though. I scream an inside joke, while she's still weakened. "Stupid cupcake!" The red fades a bit more. "Shove a flashlight down Foxy's throat!" The red's almost gone. (We have all these inside jokes because she adores FNAF, and I absolutely hate it, if you were wondering) "I didn't do that!!!!!" (That one's from Hotel Transylvania) I say, and she shakes her head. "2b?" She asks, and I smile. "You're back!!" And with that, I hug her.
