Bound to the Shadows~ A Herosteve Fanfiction.

Chapter Twelve~

The emotions running through Steve were ones he's never felt. After Herobrine had left him alone in the mineshaft, his heart ached, longing for him to be back, and he had no idea why.

It was only one kiss, but that one kiss changed everything. Steve was worried now, was if Notch had finally succeeded in ridding Herobrine from existence.

Steve shuddered at the thought and looked around, he felt so helpless in the darkness without a weapon, he could hear noises of mobs walking around, soon they could catch his scent.

Steve grabbed a torch off of the wall and used it to illuminate his path as he followed some tracks, in all of his years he learned one thing, tracks always lead to something.

And to his relief, it did. It was a mine cart with a chest in it. He opened the chest to reveal absolutely nothing that could be useful. "Ugh.." Steve groaned, walking a little deeper into the mineshaft.

The noises of the mobs seemed to get louder, before Steve could react, a zombie limped out of the darkness. It spotted Steve, growled and moved towards him.

Steve squeaked and ran back the way he came, the Zombie right on his tail, those things weren't slow. Steve turned a corner where there was nothing but a dead end.

Steve turned around and the Zombie growled at him. Steve stumbled back, normally a zombie was the easiest to defeat, but he didn't have a sword.

Steve looked at the put torch in his hand before throwing it at the Zombie. The Zombie flinched back at the light as it soared right past its head.

Steve felt his heart drop as the Zombie got closer, in one swift movement it pounced on Steve, digging its sharp teeth into his shoulder.

Pain bolted through Steve's shoulder, his scream echoed through the cave. He breathed heavily as he managed to kick the Zombie off of him.

Other noises came into his range of hearing, some skeletons and a creeper had appeared. A skeleton loaded his bow with an arrow and shot it. It pierced through Steve's arm.

Steve screeched and wrapped his arms around himself.

His breathing was starting to get heavy again and he looked down, knowing this was going to be the end for him.

A flash of light went off, Steve looked up to see Herobrine there, his shirt, face and arms drenched in blood.

"I said you weren't aloud to harm him." Herobrine said, gritting his teeth in anger. He snapped his fingers and the monsters eyes went white. The cropper blew up, killing the skeleton and the Zombie just limped away.

Hero turned to Steve. "I'm so sorry." He said. "I forgot the mobs are idiots"

Steve nodded. "I-It's okay.." He said. Herobrine sat next to Steve. "Don't hate me for this." He said, grilling onto the arrow. He yanked it out and Steve screamed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hero said.

"I-It's okay.. But you're injured." Steve said. "This? Oh please all of this isn't even my blood." Herobrine said, pulling Steve close. "Let me heal you, I'll be healed too." He said.

Steve nodded and Hero closed his eyes. Everything turned warm and fuzzy as Steve's wounds started closing up, the pain vanishing.

Steve closed his eyes and leaned his head on Hero's shoulders before everything turned dark.
