Chapter 7: The Derp

~Preston's POV~

"He's waking up!" A voice exclaimed.

"Everyone move out of the way! You can't crowd him!" Another voice yelled. "He's just recovering from the Wither effect do give him space!"

Opening my eyes slightly, I groaned as the light came in contact with my vision. Hands carefully grabbed my arms and back and helped me sit up in the bed I was laying in.

"What happened?" I asked as I opened my eyes up again, now adjusted to the light. "All I remember was getting hit by a grey fireball then blurs."

Rob came into my vision and pointed to a figure on the bed next to me.

"He saved you. While everyone was trying to distract Jason, he went over and practically took the Wither's Touch out of you." Rob explained.

With my vision still slightly blurry, I could barely make out platinum blonde hair and a grey and white hoodie.

"Can you help me up? I want to see him." I said, looking to Rob.

Rob nodded and wrapped an arm around my waist while I wrapped an arm around his neck. Rob helped me stand up from the bed and guided me over to a chair near the person's bed.

"Here you go. By the way, do you remember him?" Rob asked me as he sat down as well.

The people in the room gathered around, but kept a little distance like the second voice said.

"He's someone I thought was dead." I replied, looking at Kenny's sleeping form. "But how come he's alive?"

"I think Kenny should explain that for himself." A red blur said.

"Was that Lachlan? I can't really see." I asked, squinting to see better.

"Umm. Jason? Why can't he see well?" Rob asked, looking to the grey and red blur.

"It's an effect of the Wither. He should be good in a couple of minutes." A blue and orange blur said.

"Thank Notch! It's already hard enough having to deal with a Preston who can see." Rob teased.

"Oi! Shut your pecker!" I said, giving him a light punch on the arm.

The guys gave a small laugh before they were interrupted by a groan.

"He's waking up!" Lachlan exclaimed, moving to the other side of the bed along with a green blur and a yellow blur.

"Ugh. What happened?" Kenny asked, putting a hand on his forehead.

"You wasted a lot of magical energy fighting Jason, and saving Preston from the Wither's Touch." The green blur explained, helping Kenny sit up.

Kenny shot straight up, hitting his head on the green blur's.

"Where is he?" Kenny asked, rubbing his head.

"I'm right here Kenny." I said as my vision began to clear up. Wait! Is that Pete and Choco? I should've recognised those blurs.

Kenny turned to me and relaxed.

"Thank Notch you're okay!" Kenny said, leaning over to hug me. I hugged him back tightly and placed my head on his shoulder.

"I thought you were dead." I whispered to him.

"I'm okay now. But I never died." Kenny said pulling away and looking to everyone in the room. "I guess I should explain what happened huh?"

Everyone in the room nodded and sat down in chairs or on the floor.

"Well, it was when the squids first attacked Lavana." Kenny started. "After the Squid King had killed my parents, he decided since I was too young, he would take me in and treat me as a slave. So that's a where I've been for a few years before I escaped. Then I came to YorkWorth. A few guards found me and took me to Madame Craft's Orphanage. I then met Pete and Choco. But a few days later, I was thrown into solitary for dying Madame Craft's underwear a lime green color. Then a few hours later, Lachlan here gets thrown down the stairs and tada! Here we are."
