(Jason's POV)

We all woke up early the next morning. Me and Sky stayed in the cave to pack up our supplies, while Mitch, Jerome, and Ian went to do a little mob hunting from the night. As me and Sky packed up, I noticed that Sky seemed jumpy. He was never jumpy like this.

"Sky? Are you ok?" I finally asked after a little while.

Sky looked at me, and nodded. Though it didn't seem like it, I decided not to question any further. We just threw together the last few supplies, and then stepped out into the light. Mitch, Jerome, and Ian also returning from their little adventure.

"Hey guys. Is that everything?" Ian asked, liking at our full backpacks. We nodded.

I gave one of the bags to Jerome, who easily slipped it on. I looked at Sky.

"Ready to keep moving?"

He nodded. He started walking, and we all followed behind.

"You know, I still don't understand the point of the squids taking Ty. What do they hope to gain?" Mitch muttered, looking at the trees. We were reaching a break in the trees, and moving into a plains biome.

"I don't know Mitch. What do you think, Sky?" I asked curiously. Sky shrugged.

"I don't know. I guess we will just find out when we get there."

"But...but shag if Ty isn't there when we get there! What if this was just a trap! M-maybe Ty's...maybe he's already dead!" Jerome theorized. I quickly hit him on the back of the head.

"Trust me Jerome. Ty isn't dead. He's strong. And trust me, he's a handful when he's annoyed." I stated. Jerome sighed with worry.

"Ok Jason. I trust you." I smiled.

"Hey Jason, can you come up here for a second?" Sky called over his shoulder. I left Jerome's side and sped walked up to Sky.

"What is it Sky?" I asked.

"I saw something weird in that cave last night." He said suddenly. I was taken aback.

"Something weird? What do you mean by that?" I asked blindly.

"I mean, last night, I saw a pair of brown eyes looking at me." He said, and I looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Sky, I think you were seeing things. Maybe it was just a bat." I suggested, but he shook his head.

"They weren't a pair of bat eyes. They were a player's eyes. And there was something familiar about them too." He said mysteriously. I was baffled.

He looked at me, expecting me to say something, but I was at a loss of words.
