Minecraft: The Last Few Standing

Chapter 4: The Man in a Mask

Missy's POV

We weren't even close to being ready to hunt down Herobrine. He was, after all, Notch's brother. He had to be OP and well, there were the rumors of him being a ruthless murderer. Nonetheless we had to find some better supplies.

I start off punching trees, of course. "I will never understand how this works." I chuckle to myself while bringing down several trees with my fist.

I suddenly catch something out of the corner of my eye. "Skeleton..." I breathe. I hate the bloody creatures. I turn to face it sending an arrow right toward its chest. My eyes widen and the world seems to be in slow motion. The "skeleton" I shot at... was a boy, my age. The arrow whizzes toward him, and I reach out and scream "No!" *THUNK* the arrow pierces the trunk of a tree pinning the side of the boy's shirt to the tree. A sense of relief washes over me and then I notice something odd... this boy... was wearing a mask, of a skeleton. "What a great way to get yourself killed..." I think to myself amazed how he hadn't been killed already.

"Nice shot" The boy chuckles. He reaches for the arrow, giving it a firm tug releasing it from the tree and his shirt.

"Hehehe yeah... sorry 'bout that." I laugh awkwardly. "Again sorry, but who are you?" I ask curiously

"My name is Austin, and since you're wondering, I'm here to kill Herobrine." He says with smirk

"H-how did you-" I stand mouth open in shock.

Austin smirks, aparently he does a lot. "It's kinda obvious, this server's supposed to be abandoned after all."

"R-right" I say. "Wow he's pretty cool, but kinda a show off." I think in my mind

"Lost in thought are we? Well lemmie guess, you're wondering why I wear this stupid mask" He asks, clearly trying to impress me.

"Not really, but yeah, why do you wear it? I almost killed you because I thought you were a skeleton." I say getting annoyed with his showing off.

"Well," he starts, loosing his smirk and looks down. "My friend, we used to play on this server together all the time before everyone left. He would always wear this mask, he loved skeletons. You like endermen I'm guessing, since your jacket and all."

"Yeah, oh and since you never asked my name is Miss Endergirl, ha yeah I really like them. But hey, you can call me Missy." I say awkwardly

"Missy, what a pretty name" Austin smiles

"He has an amazing smile, but he seems like ladies man." I think to myself, trying not to laugh

"Well anyway, one day my friend went missing, completely vanished. I haven't heard from him since. But after he vanished I found his mask lying here in these woods, he would never go anywhere without it...." Austin trails off, looking like he was holding back tears. "I think Herobrine killed him, that's why he went missing, it has to be."

"I'm so sorry..." I say, feeling sympathy for him. "Maybe he isn't as bad as I made him out to be, he seems to care for his friend deaply" I ponder this for a moment, then his reply inturrupts my thoughts.

"It's fine" He says with a slight smile. "But, will you help me get revenge on Herobrine? You are amazing with a bow after all, and I'm not just saying that."

"Sure" I said returning the smile.

Out of the blue he advances toward me, closing his hands around my ear and whispers in a soft voice. "Your face is all red, it looks pretty cute." He backs away, flashing me that same smirk and says "Well, we better get a move on if we wanna gear up to face Herobrine!" Austin turns and struts toward a tree, whips out an iron axe, and begins to chop the tree down.

My hand slowly reaches up toward my face, sure enough, my face is hot, burning bright red. I soon realiz that, I really did like Austin, even if he was a bit big headed. I smile to myself and slowly walk over to a tree near him to get some more wood for tools.
