The Eighth Hero

Chapter 8

Before I start this chapter I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not updating as frequently as I should. School has just been hard and I've been going through my own personal problems. Now, without further ado I give you chapter 8! I'm gonna half of the time call Jess Aphmau or just her real name. Ps. I'm adding corick to this story so deal with it cause it's my otp. If you don't like it then read my randomness book. It's funny.

Max

How dare he. I'm running from a sociopath shipper and am in a room full of youtubers with no idea where I am, and sky had the audacity to scream that horrible word. Not to mention Aphmau now knows where I am. He's dead when I find him. But I can't think about that idiot right now. I've got a bigger problem on my hands. Like her chasing me.
"I'm catching up Max. We both now I'm faster then you" she yelled.
Sad to say, she's right. Ever since I lost to her in our fifth grade relay race it seemed like I could never beat her. Which means she's gonna catch me, and I don't want to get my ear talked of about mithross. The odds seem grim for poor Max. But you know what I've always been better at then her. Hiding.
"Lets see if your as good at seeking as you are running" I yelled behind my shoulder. I've always been better at hide and seek then my friends. Especially Jess. It took them an hour to find me multiple times, and I was moving around too. This'll be easy. I looked around trying to find a hiding spot. Turns out it's harder than you think in a room full of people. I looked behind me to try and see Jess. I let out a sigh of relief. I lost her. I went to start running again when I ran into someone. We both went tumbling into a pile of crates. Oh great, now I probably broke something. Wait a second, this isn't that bad of a hiding spot. Better than anything else in this over crowded room. I was going to keep laying there until I remembered that the person I ran into was still with me. I looked over at the stranger to see, instead of a stranger, someone I knew.
"Sorry about that Cory" I said smiling sheepishly. Cory's a youtuber like most of us in the room and is one of my friends. His youtuber name is Newscapepro. Like mine is Mithzan. We use them instead of out regular names. Like Aphmau and Sky do. Some others, like me and Cory, just use our regular names.
He looked up at me, laughing a little.
"Oh it's fine Max. I'm guessing you were running from Aphmau".
I stared at him for a while, confused.
"How did you know tha-"
"No matter how big this room is, I'm pretty sure it'd never be big enough for your yelling to not be heard" he interrupted, rolling his eyes, starting to get out of the pile of boxes. I looked at him, panicking. If Jess is any where near then she'll see him come out, giving away my hiding spot. He turned toward me, confusion in his eyes until he realized why I looked so panicked. He sat down and kept quiet. I wanted to say thanks, but was worried Jess was around. I sat there for awhile until I felt Cory tap my shoulder. I looked at him, watching as he pointed at a gap in the boxes. I went closer and looked threw, seeing Jess looking around. I spied for awhile, waiting for her to leave. Then, suddenly, her head whipped towards the boxes I was hiding in. I moved back, my breath starting to get more hurried. Cory looked at me like I'd gone insane.
"Your acting like you're hiding from a monster" he whispered.
Well I sort of am. Does a shipping monster count? She was about to lift the box where my face was when a loud bang was heard. Everyone looked to the middle of the room, where the sound seemed to of come from. Jess spun around, startled, and started following the crowd of confused faces toward the center of the room. I looked at Cory to see him starting to get out. I followed him and looked to where everyone was standing.
"Wanna check it out" I asked Cory.
"Well of course" he said back
We started to walk toward the middle, and threw the crowd, to the front. There was a stand raised from the ground but not a trace of anyone on it. Then, all of a sudden, there was a blinding light. I covered my eyes and looked away. I could feel them start to water. I turned back toward the stand, after the light had dimmed, to see something I'd never think I would ever see. The creator of minecraft himself.
Notch.
