Cruel but Gentle - Herobrine X Steve

Chapter 15

Steve woke with a start. A nightmare. It was the first one he had here and definitely much worse than the ones Herobrine gave him before but less realistic. It was about the time he was in that dark room, his blood in a small pool around him and Herobrine laughing sadistically as he stabbed Steve over and over and over again. Steve shivered at the horrid memory of last night.

"Good morning Stevie." Steve yelped in shock and probably would've fallen off the bed, if it wasn't for Herobrine holding him tightly. Steve didn't know that Herobrine was awake. The god chuckled and brought him in closer. Steve wanted to protest but thought better of it. It was probably Herobrine who gave him that nightmare. Maybe it was just to remind Steve what he would do if he tried to escape.

Suddenly, a Zombie Pigman bursted through the door and Steve screamed before slamming a hand over his mouth to shut himself up. Herobrine groaned in annoyance and glared at the Pigman.

"This better be important." The Zombie Pigman growled something that Steve couldn't understand but it made Herobrine let go of Steve and leap out of bed. "Are you kidding me?" Herobrine rolled his eyes in annoyance as he used his powers to instantly switch his pyjamas for his clothes. Steve stared in confusion.

The Zombie Pigman grumbled some more. Steve was slightly amazed at how Herobrine completely understood it. Herobrine seemed very agitated. Steve held back a whimper. Herobrine wasn't exactly reassuring when he was like this.

"W-What's go-going on..?" Steve stuttered nervously. Herobrine turned to face Steve, who shrunk under the stare and resisted the urge to hide underneath the blanket.

"Don't worry about that." Herobrine answered before sighing. "I need to go but don't you dare try to do anything while I'm gone." The Zombie Pigman ran off and Herobrine teleported away, leaving a curious and shocked Steve alone.

It was uncomfortably hot here and Dusky began to pant as to get rid of some of the heat. She was wearing her armour, which was still cold. That helped. Notch was by her side and a huge army behind them. She knew what she had to do. When Herobrine and the monsters were all distracted with the fight, she would sneak past and into Herobrine's castle. Then she would find Steve. The thought made her ecstatic; she would see him again.

Herobrine suddenly appeared with a strike of lightning and a massive monster army behind him. Dusky yelped. She hated thunder and lightning. Herobrine was holding a diamond sword, he seemed angry.

"Hello, Notch." He spat.

"Herobrine."

"This is my castle, you're trespassing, get out while you still can."

"We won't leave without Steven. What have you done to him? Where is he?"

"So be it then." Herobrine growled before launching himself at Notch and the battle begun.

Both army's sprinted forward, a battle cry from both sides. Dusky moved back carefully without attrac ting attention. The front rows clashed and swung their weapons at one another. Beyond all the chaos, Dusky saw the entrance to the castle. She would have to get there somehow. Alex was beside her. Ace had stayed behind - much to his dismay - as Alex refused to let him go in harms way.

"Hey Dusky, need some help?" Dusky barked in appreciation and the both of them ran forward, Alex swinging at any monster that got too close. That wasn't much of a problem though, almost all of the monsters were occupied already.

They finally reached the door, Dusky had managed to get her armour scratched and dented numerous times and Alex's arm was bleeding slightly. Alex nodded to Dusky and pushed the door open with her back, just enough for Dusky to squeeze through. It slammed shut behind her. Dusky immediately, and happily, noticed how much cooler it was inside.
