End

Chapter 13

  They waited nervously for the king. It was nerve wracking, seconds felt like minutes, as the kingdom slowly flooded. Terrible screams started to be heard within the walls, sending goose bumps all over Steph's arms. Soon Endermen were teleporting out.

Most of the Endermen were men, but then women and children teleported. The men looked furiously around, but the women and children quickly fled, running into the bushes and forest.

End was staring at them with dismay, "No, no no no no.... It can't be...."

This worried Steph. Why is he so worried? Why are their children and women? Surely they can't be guards!

The king was the last to teleport. He looked positively furious, like he was about to explode. Four stocky Endermen, the ones from the desert, stood around him. The king looked like he was screaming, making huge movements with his arms, stomping on the ground.

"Why are all these Endermen around him? I thought only he and the guards get teleport out?" A very confused Steph whispered.

"I don't know...." End trailed off as the king looked in their direction.

The king started to advance towards them, guards and some men after him. The king bellowed something in Ender, close enough for Steph to hear.

"He knows we are here...." End gasped.

The king teleported behind Steph, and grabbed her by her neck.

"Steph!" End yelled.

The king's arm was fully extended, leaving Steph high above ground, legs kicking.

"You think you can waltz into my land," the king bellowed at End in English, "flood my city, and expect to get away with it? Rules have changed since you left, you know. Anyone can teleport!"

Steph started gagging as she ran out of breath, looking wildly around. Endermen were lined up behind the guards, End was gazing at Steph helplessly. So this is how I die....

But then End's eyes widened, and he mouthed something. The king was too busy strangling Steph to notice, but Steph made sense of it. Sphere! End was saying.

Steph fumbled in her pocket for the sphere, she pulled it out, lungs starting to ache for air. Before the king could do anything, End leapt back and Steph placed the water, soaking her, the king, and some guards. The king dropped her, shrieking. Steph scrambled away, clothes soaking and gasping.

Where the water touched the king, dark, purple blood was forming. Over the sound of him, angry Endermen, and the sound of water, Steph heard End yelling, "Spam the water! Spam the water!"

Everything was in chaos. The king was yelling in rage and pain, guards and other Endermen were yelling, confused and angry, End was yelling at Steph to come to him(she was still in shallow water).

End was about 10 blocks away from the king, and when Steph scrambled over, he said in an undertone "Are you alright?"

"Yes..."

"You have to spam the water!"

"What about you?"

"It doesn't matter! You are the one to kill them. I can't.

"What? You have to live! I can't kill them alone!

"You have to. You are more important than me. You can handle the water, that's a severe disadvantage to them. But I can't handle the water, I'll get h-" He stopped as the guards lumbered over.

"The water!" End yelled, hitting the nearest one as hard possible.

"Oh Notch, I'm sorry End!" Steph took a deep breath, and threw some water at the guard, who was currently engaged in a fight with End.
