The Mark Of the Nether (A Minecraft fanfiction)

The Escape

Piper's POV:

"What's going on?!"

"We need to go!"

I ran down the stairs, hearing shouts and crashes.

"Micha! Micha!" I screamed. I didn't know what was going on. One second we were fine in Griffin's workshop, now there was chaos that I couldn't even see.

"Piper!" I turned as Micha collided with me. Standing my ground, I wrapped my arms around her.

"Shh, Mich, where is everyone?" Without saying a word, she grabbed my hand and pulled me through the main room and dining hall, to the area near the staircase to Hunter's forge.

There I saw everyone.

"Pipe!" Merlin ran towards us. "The Rebels are here, they're trying to get in!"

I quietened and faced Bod, who was there along with Evie trying to calm everyone down.

"Which way are the coming in?" I asked.

"Every entrance," He muttered. "And every damned exit." As to confirm what he was saying, a rumble echoed from one of the outside walls not that far from us. Dust and small bits of rubble fell from the ceiling as the ground shook. "You need to leave, now!"

"But what about you?!" Donnie whimpered, hiding behind Eli's legs.

"No time, lass. Ye shouldn't be here." He grimaced.

"They can't go through the back, what do we do?" Evie whispered harshly as Bod, loud enough so I could hear her.

"I don't know! There's nay way for them to get out!"

"Actually, there is." I interrupted them. "Merl," I murmured at him, lightly nudging his shoulder. He purses his lips and I gave him a 'We have to' look.

With a sigh, he started.

"There are secret passages all over this place. We do have a way to get out." A determined look came on his face.

"Secret passages?" Evie echoed. "That's not possible, we know this castle like the back of our-" She was cut off by Merlin going to the nearest candle, which was mounted up on the wall. He pulled it and another passageway opened up. This one was a very short hallway, leading to another passage entrance.

"-hand?" Merlin finished, smirking. "Well if that's the case, you might want to check them again."

"How did you..?" She trailed off.

"Well I'll be, they're passages in the castle. The lad wasn't bluffing!" Bod examined the passageway."

"Don't pretend." Nixie spoke abruptly, her tone sharp. Bod raised an eyebrow and Evie looked confused. "You two know about the passages, that's how yo ugly to the meeting room." Evie suddenly paled.

"Meeting room?" Echo tilted her her. "What meeting room?"

"How?" Evie asked. "How-" A crash from the dining hall stopped the commotion.

"No time. Quick, everyone through the tunnel! We can through then off by detouring through the kitchen!" Merlin said. Without hesitation, Echo, Ace and Quinn ran through.

"Wait up!" Donnie chased after them.

"Are you-" Sav tried to talk.

"Go." I convinced them.

"Later!" Nixie dashed through the hallway. I thought she could barely walk, let alone run...

"Uh, heh. No thanks, I'll pass." Remeer tried to back away once again.
