I looked out from the shadow of the alleyway and watched the human guards one by one, walking by my hiding spot not noticing were I was. I laughed quietly enough so they couldn't hear me. It was funny Notch had hired so many guards to find me, but they sucked so bad at their job. Well, all except one... Jon. He was the one human who could almost take me down and easily find me. The worst part was that his son had to be my damn human counterpart. I sighed and laid against the wall, waiting for them to leave. Knowing them, it was going to take a while. There was no point in teleporting because they would hear the noise of it and be aware of my presence, so I just looked at the wall for a bit, wondering when they would ever quit. Then suddenly one of the guards said, "Hey, boss! Look, I found something!" It had caught my attention because at first, I thought they had found me, but when I looked over I was wrong. They had found someone else. Surprisingly, it was another one of my kind. I stood there in shock for a few moments because for the longest time I thought I was alone and the only one left. I listened to their conversation. The guard laughed as he tightened his grip on the woman, "I found this bitch hiding in the woods. I was able to get her so easily because she seems to not know how to use her powers." The other guard grinned, "Good job. Put her in a cage for now until Notch figures out what to do with her." He smirked and said, "Heh, alright... come on, little pet, time to go to your cage!" After he said that he started to laugh hysterically. I glared at him from the alleyway. I hated the word pet. 'We aren't pets and she is no exception!' I thought to myself. I had to do something; I was not going to let the only other one of my kind die in front of me in such a cruel manner. I drew out my sword and walked out of the alleyway while growling under my breath. One of the guards noticed me and tried to warn the other one that I was sneaking up behind. He looked at me, then at him, "Uhh... Henry behind you." Henry looked at the other guard, still holding the female Herobrine close to his side so she could not leave, and asked, "What's wrong, Jason? You look worried." Jason suddenly shouted, "HENRY LOOK BEHIND YOU, IDIOT!!" Right after he screamed, Henry turned around to see me. I smirked at him, my eyes still glowing like flames, "So we're pets now, are we?" I asked with pure anger, my sword still in my hand. Henry looked at me, "Yes, you are. What are going to do about it, stab me?" He smirked as he mocked me. I just replied by saying, "No... I won't stab you, but I can do this." I slashed my sword at his neck and completely decapitated him. His lifeless body dropped to the floor and his blood got all over my black cloak. I then pinned Jason to a wall and growled: "Tell this to your kings: You will leave my kind alone and no longer disturb any survivors because I'm the only dangerous one you really need to be worried about." I dropped him and sighed, watching him run off, terrified.
