The Runaway (A Herobrine Story)

The Different Types of Pain

We got back to the living room as I noticed Herobrine was apparently here now. He was talking to the guys and I suddenly got stage fright. I hide behind the doorway and Creeps gave me a confused look.

"What's up?"

"I-I'm not so s-sure anymore." I stuttered, my face growing warmer.

"Oh come on, you look adorable."

We got in and I blushed. They guys looked at me with wide eyes.

"H-hey guys." I stuttered shyly. Herobrine was staring and it was making me nervous.

"Hey, you look good as new!" Bones said and the others agreed, well Brine stayed silent.

"U-Um, where a-am I going to s-stay? Is the house still u-up?" I asked creeps. She frowned.

"No, but the good news is you get to stay here! And you can go to the overworld whenever you like. Is that good?" She asked and I smiled, nodding happily. She smiled once more and took my hand, leading me to the hallway but Herobrine stopped us.

"I'll take her to her room, I don't want her staying in that bed with all the blood." He said and Creeps nodded. 

My face heated up lightly as he motioned for me to follow him. We walked down the hall, turning a few corners, till we got to a wooden oak door with a sign that said 'Maxine' above it. Had he really made me my own room? He opened the door and let me walk in. I looked around in awe.

The walls were nether brick of course and the floor stone brick like the rest of the castle but mines was different. Rather then the regular torches in the halls there were redstone torches and in the corner a lava lamp (litteraly 0_0...). I had a queen sized bed with a oak overhang and a huge window taking up most of the back window, showing the lava and netherrack filled world far below it. There was a closet with chests of wool and string with tons of dye so I could make my own cloths, too. I was amazed but as soon as I turned to thank him he hugged me tightly. My face went even warmer, shocked from the out of character attitude of his.

"I'm sorry, I should have teleported to you sooner, I could have stopped them. " He whispered.

I then realized...he blamed himself for what happened.

I hugged him tightly, putting my face in his chest since he was so tall. He was warm and the contact made me blush even harder.

"Don't blame yourself, I chose to help Creeps, Bones, and Ender, and it was completely worth it to have them safe. I would do anything for you guys, even Wither who I have just met. So don't you dare think for even a second that it's your fault!" I said without even stuttering. We pulled away and his eyes were wide in shock at my sudden bravery.

"But they-"

"I know what they did but you didn't know and it couldn't have been helped." I said, forcing myself to smile. He just stood there for a second before letting go of me. To my disappointment.

"Thanks, really, Max. I don't know what I would do without these guys."

"Your welcome. Mind if I get some rest?"

He chuckled and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. I proceeded to walk to my bed and get under the covers but rather then going to bed.

I cried.

Withe's POV

I was waiting in the meeting room for the usual idiots to arrive, Notch, Enderdragon, and Herobrine, when my mind flashed back to his beloved Maxine. She is quite cute, too shy for my taste, that and I already have my eye on someone, but Herobrine was acting strange. He never cares for anyone except Creeps, Bones, and Ender. And even for them he only likes them about 30% more then anyone else. 

Notch waltzed in and smirked towards me.

"Remembering herobrine's out of character actions, are we?" He asked.

"You know I hate you reading my mind." I growled.

"Ah, but if I didn't, I wouldn't have known you want to know why he is acting so weird." He said, sitting beside me on the couch of the conference room. "Do you want to know?"

"Yes, it's just weird." I answered and he laughed.

"In all honestly I didn't expect them to even stand each other." He started. "She was created almost completely different from his personality except the creepy factor. Even her looks are different. Yet fate has seemed to give them one thing in common."

"What?" I asked. "I thought you ruled fate."

"Pft, no." He laughed. "If I controlled fate I would have gotten that loner a girlfriend a damn well long time ago."

I had to laugh at this. It's true. Herobrine is younger then me and Notch but even Enderdragon, the youngest of the group, has been waiting for him to even have any interest in a girl or a guy either way, possibly both. 

"Anyway, they have one thing in common." He smiled. "They both know the feeling of pain."

"So does everyone else." I stated bluntly.

"No, I mean the ongoing pain that can crush a person, AKA, Herobrine, or otherwise, Maxine."

"OK so explain their pain, preferably before Herobirne comes in."

"Simple, since there are only two in them. Loneliness," He started. "And betrayal."

"OK so I know I can answer Herobrine's, we have all seen it that made him become this way. He's been betrayed so many times that for centuries he has trusted no one but me and the three amigos. He's been lonely for who knows how long, even longer then he's been betrayed." I explained. "But what about Max?"
