Encore: The Amnesiac and the Deceiver

8: Routine? (Herobrine)

The sunlight hit my face and I groaned, rolling over and burying my head under my sheets.

"Just five more minutes," I mumbled, my voice muffled by the sheets.

Then a massive thunderclap shook my room and made me jump and fall out of my bed, my legs tangled in the sheets. I raised my head from the ground, looking around. I noticed that my hand had created a glowing white ball that hovered a few centimetres above my hand. I closed my hand, making the ball disappear.

"Weird," I muttered. I untangled myself from my sheets and went and looked out the window. Dark storm clouds had gathered in the sky that had been blue only minutes ago. Rain lashed the windows and lightning struck only metres from the castle, making another crash echo. "What the heck is this weather?" I asked myself, chuckling slightly. It felt like something that I said a lot.

I considered making my bed before I left my room, but I decided that I would have time to do it later. I jogged down the stairs and started looking for a training room or something. I didn't know exactly why I was looking for one. Maybe it was a daily routine I had? It took me about half an hour to find the room. It was fairly large and had a tall roof. The floor was stone, there were several dummies scattered around and a rack of iron and diamond swords was on the wall to my right. I picked up an iron one and walked to one of the dummies. I stood in front of it and raised my sword.

"Don't worry. You'll be good, I know it."

My voice echoed in my head. My sword hand dropped as I tried to figure out where that memory had come from. I said it to someone.... I was.... Training them? Maybe it was Entity but... I don't know. I pushed the thought out of my mind and concentrated on the dummy in front of me.

Over the next few hours, I destroyed all of the dummies, fired a few arrows at some targets and tried to summon that strange white glowing ball again. I managed to get it but accidentally lost control of it and it flew into the wall, blasting it to rubble. I winced.

"Maybe Entity won't notice it," I muttered.

I decided that I had exhausted the possibilities of that training room and I left, heading to the lounge room but changed my mind halfway through and went to the kitchen instead. I don't know why I went to the kitchen. I didn't want to eat anything and I knew that no one would be there, but I looked around anyway when I arrived. What was I even looking for? Who was I even looking for?

I heard Entity's voice coming from another room. It was quiet and sounded like it came from a few rooms away. I quietly snuck towards it, part of my mind wondering why I was trying to be sneaky. I paused outside the room and peeked inside. Entity seemed to be talking to several mobs. There was something off about the mobs that I couldn't quite place. I quickly pulled back my head, frowning. Why did I have the feeling that something was wrong? I shook off the feeling and walked into the room, but it was empty except for Entity now. The mobs had somehow disappeared in the two seconds I wasn't looking.

"Hey Herobrine," Entity said. "What's up?"

"Um.... I heard you talking to someone," I said. "Just wondering who it was."

"Oh, I was just talking to myself," Entity lied. "I do that sometimes. Do you have any plans for today?"

"Um... I was just thinking of looking around and stuff."

"Okay, just don't go too far."

"I won't."

Entity walked off and left me with several questions. Why did he lie? What didn't he want me to know? Why was he talking to mobs? What was wrong with them? They were the first mobs I had seen since I woke up, but I could have sworn that something was wrong with them. But what was it?

I knew that if I kept thinking about it, I would drive myself insane, so I went outside and started walking in a random direction. I felt like I walked around aimlessly a lot. I reached a dark oak forest and I walked in, uncaring of the darkness made by the canopy of leaves. I kept walking for about half an hour, looking around at random mushrooms and flowers and scaring several sheep. Eventually, I sat at the base of a fairly large tree, alone in the big forest. I sighed and closed my eyes, leaning my head back on the rough bark of the tree.

I was crouching on the top of a building, watching the scene below. There was a figure down there, fighting squids with a glowing yellow sword. His movements were jerky, same with the movements of the squids. I knew that it was because he came from the other world, and that he wasn't really here. I watched as he killed all the squids with ease, looking around to see if there were any more. I grinned. He was one of them. I could feel it, and this only proved my feeling. I watched as the figure flickered and disappeared as he logged off in the other world. I stood up, dusted off my knees and teleported away.

My eyes flashed open and I sat up quickly. I knew instantly that I had had a memory and I quickly recounted it. Everything was clear.... Except for the figure. He was blurred and I couldn't clearly make him out, no matter how hard I tried. I yelled in frustration and put my head in my hands. Why was this happening to me?

New point of view next chapter guys. Who could it be? (I already know ;P
