Brother & Sister- A Minecraft Diaries Fanfiction

Chapter 6- Cursed

I awoke to a sharp pain in my back.

Damn, this hurts like hell! Well, I was an idiot for turning my back on to two men threatening me with swords.

Yeah... bad move on my part.

"She's coming to!" A different woman's voice exclaimed.

"Thank Irene, Dante was about to slaughter me if she didn't."

"Yes. Yes, I was."

My eyes fluttered open to see an orange-haired woman with red eyes staring at me.

I screamed.

She screamed.

And I fell off a bed.

Helloooo, more pain!

"Where's my brother?! Who the hell are you?! Where am I?!" I jumped to my feet somehow, and felt my pockets, "What did you do with my possessions?!"

"Amethyst... Calm down..." A male voice said.

"I WILL NOT CALM-"

Dante...

Our eyes locked.

They were still the same ocean blues eyes that had been filled with fear the last time I had seen them.

I didn't hesitate. My back might have been in severe pain, but I'd waited too long for this.

I threw my arms around him and pulled him into a tight embrace. Tears streamed down my face. There was a huge lump in my throat.

"I-I thought you were..." Dante stammered.

Dead, I knew that's what he thought I was... And considering everything that has happened to me... I almost wish I was.

I swallowed, "N-no, I'm here Dante, I'm alive, and I'm not leaving you again..."

Never.

~A Few Minutes Later~

Aphmau, Garroth, Laurence, Dante, and I were sitting around a campfire in an awkward silence. Laurence was fiddling with fingers, Garroth was tapping his finger against the side of his leg, Aphmau was muttering under her breath, and Dante was looking up at the night sky.

Once it was okay for me to walk around and I retrieved my belongings, Dante had introduced me to Lucinda, the witch with orange hair who had been healing me, Logan, the werewolf who had saved his life, Garroth, Laurence (the man who almost killed me, yeah good times...), Malachi, a ghost child, and Lady Aphmau, the Lord of Phoenix Drop.

"So, um... Amethyst, what... happened to you?" Aphmau broke the silence.

"It's a long story, but I'll try to get to the point. So, two years ago, Dante and I were in guard training together. I completed my guard training at the top of my class-"

"Wait, you're... that Amethyst?" Laurence interrupted.

"Indeed. Therefore, I knew of you and Garroth prior to hearing your names. Anyway, back to my story, I, like all the other guards who had completed training was ready to leave the academy but..."

"But?" Garroth inquired.

"THE NEXT PERSON WHO INTERRUPTS ME GETS THEIR DAMN FACE BURNED OFF!!!!" I snapped. That shut them up. Dante shot Laurence and Garroth a, "She's not kidding" look.

I took a deep breath, "I didn't want to leave right away, I wanted to stay with Dante. Big mistake on my part. After all the other graduates had left, the academy was attacked (what luck, eh?) by Shadow Knights..."
