Grayson's POV

I took a deep breath before stepping inside. A part of me felt protective of her even though I barely knew her. I guess it was because I wanted to obey Armen's last wish, but maybe it was also because I cared for her in a friendly way.

I rapped gently on the wall. "Rose?"

She looked up. Her blue eyes were red and puffy.

"Are you alright?"

"I don't know," she whimpered softly.

I sat down next to her. She flinched. "Why did Herobrine let you go? He had you within His reach, and He let you go."

"I don't know."

I shook my head and gave her a long look. Then I admonished, "I can't believe how willing you were to give yourself up."

Rose sighed. "I will do anything to protect my friends and family."

"But how do you know if He would have let us live even if you went with Him."

She stayed quiet. Her lack of response was unsettling to say the least.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is that you need to be careful. Don't try to make deals where there are none."

"He said that Armen wasn't coming back."

I looked at her in surprise. "He will. Both of them will."

"How do you know?"

I hesitated. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure myself. I had no proof that either of the boys were going to end up here. Rose still needed consolation, though. "He will."

She looked outside to where Lya was sleeping peacefully. Rose smiled. "So when are you and Lya getting together?"

I felt my face heat up. "Sorry, what?"

"Come on," she laughed. "You like her."

Of course I like her. She is a good friend; I can see that. But I know what Rose is trying to say. "Do not!" I say childishly. The way I was acting was making me look like a foolish schoolboy.

"You do."

"No, I don't."

"Then why is your face red?" Rose smirked as she waited for my answer.

"Doesn't matter." I scratched the back of my neck nervously. "Barely know her."

"Well, ask her." A thought came to her. "By the way, Armen and I are brother and sister."

I raised my eyebrows, but I knew better than to question it.

"We also had a brother named Collin."

"Collin?" There was that name again. Up until before I met Armen and Drake, the name was just that of an old colleague who went missing. Then I discover who he really was: Herobrine. Now Collin is also Rose and Armen's brother. I wonder if Drake knows.

"You know Collin?" She looked surprised.

"I just..." I stopped. I can't tell her, or at least not yet. "I just recognize the name; that's all."

"Did he have brown hair and indigo eyes?"

I struggled to remember, but my mind for some reason went blank on the topics of any of the people I used to work with. "Maybe? I can't remember for some reason."
