Garroth's Story (Minecraft Diaries Fanfic)

Chapter Four

I spun around to see Lord Aphmau's dress caught on the railing.

"Hold on."

She started tugging on her dress to try and break it lose.

"I almost got it."

I ran over to her, grabbing the end of her dress that was stuck.

"Are you sure you should be pulling. You d-don't wanna rip-"

She gave a final tug, that tug snapped the post that was keeping the wooden railing up. The whole railing broke off, tumbling towards the ground...bringing Aphmau with it.

"GAH!"

Aphmau fell down, grabbing one of her hands on to the edge of the tree-house.

"L-Lady Aphmau!"

My instinct was to grab her hand, pulling her back onto the platform. But, that would make me feel... But I just couldn't leave her hanging there. This was a matter of life or death- I couldn't let my feelings toward Aphmau get in the way.

"Garroth, you have to pull me up. Please..."

I gulped, reaching out my hand. I grabbed her loose hand and started pulling. I swear I felt butterflies in my stomach.

"Hold on, I got you."

It wasn't enough. I didn't want her to let go with her other hand, she could fall...and all of the blame would go on me. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to her.

"C-can you grab my waist and hoist me up? Maybe that'd be easier."

I nodded. Still holding her hand in mine, I gripped around her waist. I then let go of her loose hand, holding on tighter to her waist. I hoisted her back on to the platform. I let go of her waist, backing up a bit.

"Thank you, Garroth. You saved my life twice from this tree house. I'll just have to improve upon it more."

I nodded, and Aphmau chuckled a bit.

"I'll help you with that, once I get some more free time."

"Great, thanks!"

"Well I really have to go now. Good day m'lady."

I walked back over to the staircase, Levin and Malachi waving to me.

Today was good, aside from the fact that Aphmau almost fell off a tree again.

I made my way outside, shutting the door behind me. I was greeted by a familiar face.

His brown hair barely covered his bright blue eyes. His emerald sword was at his side, as he stared at me with a smirk on his face.

Laurance.
