The Mark Of the Nether (A Minecraft fanfiction)

Trust

Piper's POV:

We had just started walking to the camp. They were looking at me waiting for an explanation.

"Alright, well. Where do I start?" I asked, trying to stall for as long as possible.

"Hmm. I don't know. How about telling us how you got those monsters to walk away just by talking to them!" Nixie yelled.

"Okay! Okay." I took a deep breath. Here goes everything. "It started 7 years ago, back at the orphanage. I was locked in a closet again and was being starved for the whole night. That is, until Micha snuck upstairs and got me out of there. She had managed to swipe the keys. More of the older kids were fighting and throwing things across the room. We got hit. A LOT. Actually, more like I got hit a lot. I was't going to let Micha get hurt." I put my arm around her and gave her a little side hug. "We had had enough of that place. So that night, we decided to escape. We climbed out the windows and ran for it. But-"

"Buuut I got a little too excited and ran off." Micha cut me off.

"Yeah." I said and shot her a 'You better not do that again' look. "Anyway, I looked everywhere for her. Eventually I found her getting shot at by a couple of skeletons. Here comes the weird part. I didn't have a weapon so I thought I could sneak up behind them, grab Micha and get out of there. But the closer I got it seemed like they were talking. Keep in mind that I had never seen mobs before. I had only been a baby when I was with my mom. After that, I went to the orphanage. Turns out, there were talking."

"Wait what?" Remeer was shocked, so were the others.

"I can talk to monsters. Micha can too but it took her awhile to learn their language. I guess that's what you'd call it. Difference is I understand like some sort of power? That's what my Dad calls it anyway. I hear them like they're speaking english." I stopped walking and so did Micha. We were waiting for their reaction.

"So let me get this straight. You can understand mobs. You have a special power that actually let's you talk to mobs." Savannah said making sure she understood correctly.

"Yup." I looked down. There gonna call me a freak. Either that or make fun of me. I worried.

"That is..."

"AWESOME!!" Nixie finished for her.

"I know! I'm a- wait. What?" I was completely puzzled.

"We're your friends. What did you think we were gonna say?" Remeer put a hand on my shoulder.

"You two are amazing, we love you guys no matter what." Sav smiled, slipping in between me and Micha, and gave us a side hug. We started walking again.

"But one thing still doesn't add up." Nixie thought out loud.

"What would that be?" I was sure I had explained everything.

"Even if you could talk to the mobs that were trying to attack us earlier, why did- what did you call them again?- Drew and Marty?"

"Drake and Marty." I corrected.

"Yeah, those spiders. Why did they immediately listen to you. And HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR NAME WAS?" She was getting more curious by the second.

"I sort of know them." I said quietly. Remeer raised an eyebrow.

"Define 'know them'"

"They're our pretty close friends." I laughed awkwardly.

"How do you make friends with a spider?" Sav asked, unwrapping her arm from around me.
