When You Realise It's Real

Chapter 28

"Up!" Jesse yelled, "up the vines!"

Rory made me go up the vines first. I'm sure that if they were normal vines I wouldn't have been able to climb them, but because Minecraft logic, I was able to.

Rory came up after me, then Jesse.

We looked over the edge at the zombies.

"Beat that, zombie scum!" Rory yelled.

Jesse laughed.

I looked to my right, seeing the path that everyone else was on. Our paths weren't connected, just like in the game.

"We need to find a place where the paths connect!" Olivia called.

"Alright, we'll meet you over there!" Jesse shouted back.

I shuffled a bit to my right, giving Rory some space.

The others walked off the find where the paths connect.

Lukas gave one last glance at us.

"Alright," Jesse surveyed the maze around us, "let's go...this way!"

Jesse started making her way in the direction of Ivor's lab. Rory and I followed.

"Look at 'em," Falconblaze snarled, "war is coming and they're all lovey dovey!"

Falconblaze gestured to Runningsun and Shrewpaw. They were making affectionate moves around each other, licking eachother's cheeks and rubbing their cheeks together.

"You just don't understand 'cus you're asexual." Foxspirit defended.

Falconblaze growled, tail lashing. This had been the eighth time Froswish had taken them all out herb hunting, and of course Wolfshine was the only one actually helping.

"Do you remember that glowing green cat we saw on WindClan territory?" Foxspirit asked, changing the subject.

"It was weird." Falconblaze huffed, "but not the weirdest thing we've seen."

"It's bordering pretty high on weird."

"The weirdest thing I've seen..." Falconblaze licked her paw casually, "...is you!"

"Hey!"

Falconblaze let out a mrrow of laughter.

------------------

Jesse got confused after a while, so Rory took over the leading and lead us in the right direction, to the machine and Olivia.

Reuben was there, too.

"Hey, Olivia." Jesse walked over to her friend. 

The two engaged in conversation, leaving Rory and I to talk.

Rory didn't seem much for talking at the moment. He was muttering in French.

"What is it with you and French?" I asked.

"I am very fluent in it. It keeps my thoughts from you."

"Why would you want to do that?"

His purple eye glowed for a moment.

"Tout le monde garde secrets , parfois je fais, aussi, même de vous."

I recognised only the word 'secrets'.

"Rory," I said in a warning tone.

"Aza," Rory said in the same tone.

"I know what it is now!" Olivia exclaimed next to the machine.
