Into The Game [FINISHED]

7 ✣ Ivor

Petra, Reuben and me walked into EnderCon.

"So while we're making the deal, I need you to let me do the talking" Petra told me.

"Sure, do your thing" I said.

"And if you wanna be useful, try and look intimidating" she told me.

"Like this?" I tried to do as she said.

"I'm not scared of you but scared for you" Petra said.

Axel and Olivia rushed over to us.

"Jesse! You've got Reuben! And Petra!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Yeah, we're super close now, super close" I said as Petra face palmed behind me. "We ran into each other while I was looking for Reuben."

"What were you doing in the woods, Petra?" Axel asked.

"I was just drawn in by Jesse's high pitched screams" Petra told him.

"Sorry we didn't come with you, Jesse" Axel apologized.

"But at least we won!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Looks like abandoning friends in their time of need paid of again" Axel said, looking at our statue which had run out of fireworks.

"We deserve a victory party, who's in?" I asked.

"Finally I get to be a guest of honor for something" Axel smiled.

"Its time to do that thing, Jesse" Petra reminded me.

"Oh yeah, the thing!" I said.

"Subtle, like a punch to the face" Olivia said "Anyways, see you in EnderCon"

"Hurry, we're supposed to meet in that alley" she told me. We walked over to a dark creepy alleyway to find nothing but a chest.

"Dark. Dark. Very dark in here" I muttered.

"Huh, thats weird, he said the creepy alleyway by the gate" Petra said.

"Are you sure this is the creepy alleyway he meant?" I asked.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, you wait here, if he comes, just stall for me" Petra said and she was gone. To my left was the chest, as I began to look inside but I was stopped when I heard a voice.

"And just who are you?" a bearded man asked. He had long black hair, pale skin and wore a dark-pale green cloak.

"You know you really shouldn't creep up on people like that... it's creepy..." I told him.

"Don't test me" he said. "I'm supposed to meet with Petra, not whatever you're supposed to be, give me one good reason why I shouldn't walk out right this instant!"

"You're the guy that wanted a Wither Skull, correct?" I asked him.

"Shh! Not so loud you idiot! Too many people know my business already" he said quietly. "Do you have it? The skull?" he asked.

"No, Petra has it, she'll be here any second" I told him.

"As long as I know she's bringing it, I won't kill me to wait another minute" he said. We sat in awkward silence for a few moments.

"Ivor!" it was Petra.

"Ahh, here she is" Ivor said.

"Sorry i'm late, but good things are worth waiting for" she said. "I have what you asked for."

"If you have what you promised us" I burst in, Ivor looked at Petra angrily.

"You never said anything about an 'us', and I don't like surprises" Ivor said.

"Its not a problem, right, Jesse?" Petra asked me angrily.

"Not a problem at all" I replied. Petra pulled out the Wither Skull and handed it over to Ivor who examined it, smiling.

"I'll have that diamond now" Petra said to Ivor.

"Take it, its your's, Ivor's gaze traveled to the chest. Petra and I walked over to the chest, opened it and looked inside.

"What? This isn't a... no! Its Lapis!" Petra exclaimed. Ivor was gone.

"I new you shouldn't have trusted that guy!" I exclaimed.

"Screw this! We're going after him!" Petra shouted, enraged. We entered a busy part of EnderCon. Ivor was no where in sight. "Alright, we're gonna split up, keep an eye out for Ivor, its either I get my skull back or I'm getting my diamond" Petra said and we split up.
