My Last Hope (Truth Series 4)

16: Escape

A/N: So because I forgot to update on Wednesday, I'm posting another chapter now. And since this one is kind of short I'll be posting a third one in a couple minutes.

Third Person POV

"What happened?" Clash asks.

"Explain later." Ant replies breathlessly. "We have seven minutes until Herobrine finds us."

"Great." Seamus mutters sarcastically. "How do you suppose we get out if the stairs are gone?"

"I know a way," the lady from the cell states.

"Which way?" Clash demands.

"Down the hall to left."

"Let's go." Clash orders.

"Wait a minute! How do we know we can trust her!?" Seamus delays.

"We don't. She's the only option we have."

"What about the pick?"

"You see that wall?" Star points to the brick wall of a side hallway. "Behind it is three layers of obsidian. Can your pick break through it in five minutes?"

"No." Seamus grits his teeth. There's a slight edge to his voice. "Lead the way, Lady."

They run down the hall as fast as they can without leaving anyone behind. The lady leads them through several halls. None of them look behind them for fear of spotting Herobrine. The lady glances at all the doors they pass frantically searching for the right one.

"What are we looking for?" Ryan asks.

"The control room."

"If we keep going straight it's one of the doors on the right side of the hall." The man that was in the cell with Star gives directions as if he knows this place like the back of his hand. They follow his lead until they find a door labeled 'controls'. They enter the room cautiously.

"Now what?" Seamus demands.

"Now we have two minutes to find the switch to the barrier that's blocking my magic. Then I can teleport all of us out of here." The lady explains.

"Will you have enough energy for that?" Star worries.

"I should. If not you can help me, right?" Her question is directed at Star's mysterious cellmate.

"Yes," he answers. "But only if we get that damned barrier taken down."

"Is this what we need?" Double calls from the other side of the room.

The lady removes herself from her support known as Star. She joins the young man on the other side of the room examining the kill switch he found. "Yes!" She flips the lever. Nothing appears to happen. Although the lady doesn't seem as worn out as she did before. "Where are we teleporting to?"

"Chim's house," Clash decides for the group.

"Everyone who knows what his house looks like, keep an image of the outside of it in your head. Everyone else keep your mind blank." The lady takes charge. "In order for this to work we must all be touching in some way."

"Time's up!" A voice booms just as the group moves closer together. Herobrine stands at the entrance to the room.

"Shit!" Ryan exclaims under his breath.

Herobrine's eyes narrow at Star's mysterious cellmate. "And where do you think you're going!?"

The man's hands form fists at his sides. He gives the evil god a look of pure determination. "Away from here."

"You are to stay here." The god orders fiercely.

"No!"

"You will listen to your father."

"You're not my father!" The man exclaims. "Hero is my father!"

"Sparky!" Star reaches a hand out toward her friend. He's the only one not in the group. If they teleport now he'll be left behind. The man runs over to the group. Herobrine teleports in front of him cutting him off from his escape route.

"You're not going anywhere!" The god growls angrily.

"Leave him alone!" Star demands. She darts forward and shoves the god with all her strength. Herobrine is sent crashing into a wall. Star stands there dumbfound by what she just did. The man, Herobrine's supposed son, grabs her by the wrist and drags her over to the group. The only one left in the room is one seriously pissed off Herobrine.
