A Very Haunted Christmas

Day Sixteen

"So... That should about pay for the damage...." Armen muttered, handing the lady four fifty dollar bills. "Sorry again about your basketball net..."

The lady just glared at him, and slammed the door.

"Why'd you have to do that Herobrine?" Armen snarled. "And have me explain why half of her yard went up in a fiery inferno?!"

"Eh, I felt like it." Herobrine shrugged. "Plus, I'm not good at lying. I prefer the direct, painful truth."

"Yeah, no kidding." Armen muttered. "Why'd you have to eat the candy cane, Herobrine?"

"Well I didn't know it was gonna bite back!" Herobrine yelled. "You're just lucky my powers are diminished, or I might have destroyed the entire metal biome!"

"City..." Armen muttered.

"Whatever!" Herobrine growled. "Let's just go back to your igloo."

"Mansion!" Armen corrected angrily.

"Well compared to mine-" Herobrine started.

"Let's just go back to the igloo- I mean mansion!" Armen quickly stated, looking flustered.

Herobrine snickered as they both strode off.

*************************************

"So.... How long is fixing this gonna take?" Amber questioned, glancing at the entire first floor, which was charred and shattered to the extent that she couldn't even tell what was supposed to be black and what wasn't.

"Well.... With my fixing skills, and Herobrine, Drake, Scarlett, and Luna's magic combined, and maybe a little help from Kyah and Eve...." She glanced down at her list. "About five days."

"WHAT?!" Armen screamed, having just come back. "Where are we gonna sleep?!"

"I mean, me and Audrey have an old trailer that we used to sleep in...." Scarlett thought for a minute. "But it only fits three people."

"Um.... Yeah." Audrey smirked. "That's an issue. Plus it still smells like stale pizza in there... And... Something that I have no idea how to identify."

"Doh." Drake slapped his head. "We have magic! What are we thinking?!"

"I don't know... What kind of spell are you thinking of?" Herobrine asked, looking interested when Drake said 'Magic'

"The one that automatically increases space inside of an object, but doesn't affect the outer appearance..." Drake thought. "The uh.... Pocket Dimension spell! That was it!"

"Great!" Armen clapped his hands together. "But... Won't it look suspicious if the neighbors see a bunch of people going into the same trailer?"

"Yeah, uh...." Drake trailed off.

"Road trip?" Brisk suggested.

Suddenly, a blue haired woman strode up to them, a skeptical look in her eyes.

"Um..." Herobrine muttered, looking scared for the first time in his life. "I'm just gonna go now..." 

He looked as if he was going to teleport, but wasn't able to.

"Don't your dare do that!" The woman exclaimed, getting closer, glaring at Herobrine.

"Ugh... CrystalMoonlight..." Herobrine muttered.

"Herobrine, my darling younger brother." She sneered in return.

"WHAAAAAT?!" The entire group exclaimed, except for Drew, who just looked interested.

**********************************************

"So.... why did I never hear of this again?" Drake questioned, glancing between the two of them. "And why, Drew, do you not look surprised?"

The group had seated themselves outside on park benches, making sure to keep the two siblings separate.

"Well, I don't know if you know this, but I have met Herobrine before in.... worse circumstances." Drew murmured, and Herobrine snickered.

"I knew he had a sibling." Drew continued, looking miffed. "But I didn't ever get the chance to meet her."

"So... Thank you Drew." Drake nodded. "Now.... can you two explain yourselves?" He asked Herobrine and CrystalMoonlight.

"Well..." Herobrine started, but he was cut off.

"Well as you know, I am Herobrine's sibling." CrystalMoonlight responded stiffly. "You may not have heard of me, because I prefer to keep to myself. But I am, what you may call, the counterweight. Herobrine is the Virus, I am.... the Antivirus." She shrugged as if it was something she was used to. "My annoying brother cannot stop ruining everything in this world-"

"Hey!" Herobrine growled, but was cut off again.

"I watch over all in the badlands, and, considering you seemed to be having trouble with my dearest bro here..." She glared over at him. "I decided to watch over you three. The light spirit you saw? That was me."

"Oh...." Drake said, an awed look in his eyes. "So you're the one-"

"Who kept on breaking my torches!" Grayson exclaimed angrily.

"Well, I was getting bored with all of Mia's rambling." Crystal's eyes glimmered in amusement. "I had to do something."

"Um... yeah." Mia muttered. "So... are you planning on staying?"

"Well... probably, if you're okay with that." Crystal smirked. "As soon as I heard that Hero was in this world...." She sighed. "Anyways, I can help with the reconstruction of your house, but it may still take a while. The physics of this world are tiring."

"Yeah, they are." Herobrine agreed. "Now, can I speak with you for a second?" He glanced over at Crystal, a grimace on his face.

And as the two walked away, Drake watching Crystal go in awe.

"The Antivirus..." He murmured. "That is so cool..."

"Um... yeah." Luna muttered, feeling slightly uncomfortable around this new visitor. "Cool. Can you rejoin the group now, Drake? We kinda need you to use that spell you were talking about earlier."

"Oh, uh, yeah!" Drake shook his head, and rejoined the group. 

"Instant camping trip, here we come!" Brisk called happily.

"So.. where are we gonna go?" Courage asked.

"There's a forest near where I live." Kyah suggested. "We can try there."

"Good idea!" Armen smiled, grabbed her hand and raced inside. 

"I call shotgun!" Kyah called.

"No! I do!" Armen laughed.

"You're driving, stupid!" 

"Oh, yeah!"

"Hey guys, there's only one Shotgun in this car, and that's me! So I get it!" Drake laughed lightly. 

"Nah, you're the rejected shotgun, which means you get farthest in the back!" Kyah giggled, leaping into the front seat.

And they all drove off.

Except Herobrine and CrystalMoonlight, who followed them in light and dark forms, glaring at each other as they went, but smiling slightly at their group of friends, who were joking in the trailer below.

So... I'm sorry FaithTremlin if I got your character's backstory completely wrong! You didn't really give me a description to work with, and I didn't have enough time to read any books with you character in it, so... sorry! But I think my version is pretty cool personally, so, I hope you like it! XI Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed! ~Dream
