Minecraft 2: Herobrine's Rise

Chapter 5: Skeleton Attack

(Lucio)

The next morning, I saw a dead Enderman outside of my tent. I suspected that Aaron passed out because of the fight.

Not that easy to conclude, I admit.

I went to Aaron's tent. He was unconscious (or asleep), but it seems that Ameli and Alj saw him earlier, and carried him to the tent.

I went to the bonfire, where Ada and Ameli were cooking some pork. Alj hunted for some meat and harvested some herbs a while ago.

"Um, what time did you move Aaron to his tent?" I asked.

"Around 5:00 a.m," Ameli replied.

"He didn't look so good, did he?" Alj said.

I swear, I would have whacked Alj out of sheer 'duh'. "I knew that," I said. "I think it is because of the Enderman near my tent."

"Yeah, we knew that," Ada said, rolling her eyes. "It's obvious that Aaron fought it."

Obvious, I thought.

I sighed. I went to Aaron's tent again. I checked on him, then called to Ameli, "Does he need the Transcendence Flower?"

"No!" she called back.

I expected that answer.

Now that I really wanted to wake Aaron up, I shook him. It worked.

He opened his eyes. "Hey, what's the shake for?" he asked.

"Why do you ask?" I asked back.

Because of that, Aaron smiled sheepishly. "Ah, never mind."

"How did you kill the Enderman easily?" Ameli asked Aaron. "Those mobs are hard to kill, they teleport - like Herobrine!"

"They teleport?" Aaron said, his eyes wide. "That one didn't seem to know how to teleport."

I didn't take this one seriously. I laughed.

"Stop it, Lucio," Ada snapped.

"It may be true, though," Alj said.

"What if the Enderman is one of Herobrine's scouts...?" Aaron asked.

That struck us.

Now that I'm serious, I said, "We had to make sure. We'd better move."

They agreed.

While traveling, I swore I saw some dark figures behind the trees. I thought they were our shadows, so I ignored them. But one figure is no shadow. It's a skeleton, holding a bow. It shot some arrows

I dodged the arrows, and caught one in my hand. But that's when I realized the arrow was on fire.

I dropped the arrow. I summoned my halberd (yes, summoned) and threw it at the skeleton.
