In A New World (A Minecraft Story)

Skunk Party

We just stared at Notch for about five minutes. We honestly didn't know how to react to this. Or at least I didn't.

I heard someone back up, "oh, man. This isn't good..."

I turned to see Hero with his hands over his face. I couldn't help but notice how the bandage has become stiff from the dried blood. I spoke up, "how is it bad? If anything, we should worry about you."

He then took his hands away from his face, "you don't know him like I do."

I heard a muffled moan and turned back around to see his eyes grow wider than before. As he took in his situation, I got closer to the trunk. He then started struggling against the power cable. The cable was really tight around the wrists, making dents into his skin.

I leaned into the trunk to try untying him, but he twisted to make me miss. I tried calming him down, "it's okay. We're not going to hurt you." He struggled some more as I tried to untie him. After a while, I got slightly upset, "Hero, help me with your brother." I looked over my shoulder to see that he wasn't there. I stared behind me for a while, then frustration got the best of me. I got away from the trunk and looked at Lily, "where did your dad go?" I tried to keep from sounding upset, but I heard my voice squeak in pressure.

She cocked her head to her left as she stared at me. I knew she could tell that I was not a happy camper, since she took a step back.

I nodded and walked in that direction to see him throwing up into a dead bush. I sighed, feeling sorrow for the poor man. He probably has the bigger hangover than Steve will have when he wakes up, and Notch didn't help at all. I walked over to him and knelt beside him. The dirt had a few sharp stones poking out of it, but I didn't seem to care. I patted his back hard to help with getting it out. He looked over at me with wide eyes and shook a little. I asked, "feel better?"

He smirked and nodded a little. Then he turned back around and gasped, trying to spit the stomach acid out of his mouth.

I turned back to see Lily looking from the end of the car cautiously. I asked, "can you get a towel? That'll help him out a little."

Lily nodded and ran to where Cece was. I heard a "hey!" Before seeing Lily running back over.

She shouted over her shoulder, "sorry. But my dad needs to get more than a few smudges of dirt off himself." I laughed a little and gently grabbed the towel, which was covered in light dust. I gave it to Hero, who grabbed it without looking my direction, and wiped his lips off. He simply sat there, breathing hard before standing up and turning toward us.

I smirked, "well, I don't think anyone will want to do any gardening here, especially with the stench.

He slightly grinned, "yeah, I guess... let's take care of... him." I guess he just didn't want to mention his own brother. We quietly walked over to the trunk, where we could easily hear Notch struggling for freedom. His moaning was too loud for anyone to ignore.

When we got to him, he stopped and stared at his own brother. The staring continued until I reached down and tried breaking the binding. He then looked at me and shifted his hands away. I looked up at Hero, who looked like he was going to kill his brother. I sighed, "well, if you want to stay tied, you can stay like that." I then got the bag of hammocks and got back to the trunk, "so if you can just hold this..." I threw the bag on top of him, making him flinch when it hit his stomach, "that'll be really helpful."

I was about to close the trunk when Hero put his hand where the trunk was going to go, holding an empty duffle bag in the other hand, "also, I think you'll love to have somewhere to sleep, right? Well, get on out here and let me show you." He then grabbed Notch and pulled him out, which is when my eyes caught the ropes around his ankles. Notch tried to fight back, only to find himself put into the bag and zipped up. I heard moaning and kicking as the bag kept moving around. Hero then shouted to his daughter, "want to do the honors?"
