The Mark Of the Nether (A Minecraft fanfiction)

Attic Antics

A/N: Question-

Who do you guys hate more, Roxy or Jack?

Or better yet, who's more evil? And don't just say both of them.

..Why am I asking..?

Oh.. No reason.. Heh..

Piper's POV:

"What's a... Kris-mess?" The word sounded foreign as I tried to pronounce it. "Is that it?" I asked, glancing at Micha. She simply shrugged.

"It's Christ-mas not a Kris-mess. But you would already know that 'cause you're joking, right?" Eli stared at me, even the others looked shocked.

"No, I'm not. Is this something I should know about?" My eyes wandered to the decorations and I realized something. "Oh, it's a human holiday, isn't it?" They nodded. "That explains it. Mobs don't have 'holidays'. We didn't even have weekends. The classes we did were survival and occasionally basic academic skills. Just so we knew as much as we needed. Since the Classes we had were what we also did for fun, we had them everyday. Apart from birthdays, or course." I explained.

Nixie gasped, "Then we need to teach you what Christmas is!" Nixie plopped herself on the floor and dragged Sav and Remeer down with her. The rest of us sat in a circle.

Micha to my right, Merlin to my left.

They explained what you did doing Christmas and when, they also explained the whole thing with the 'tree' and the 'wreath'.

"Not everyone celebrates it, but we do!" Echo grinned, referring to herself and the other castle residents.

"You forgot the biggest part, stupid!" Ace said. "Presents!"

"Oh yeah, you get presents on Christmas morning." She added.

"Morning? Really? We get them on Christmas Eve." Savannah said.

"Well, my Dad and I used to open one present while my Mom slept in the night, then in the morning we'd put it in the closet and pretend it had forgotten to be wrapped. She never caught us.." Quinn faltered once she realized he mentioned her mother before clearing her throat.

"That, actually doesn't sound bad." Micha smiled.

"Oh, and just wait 'till you have a Candy cane!" Remeer shuffled through the boxes before pulling out a weird, hook-shaped thing. It was white wit red stripes and inside plastic.

"Here," He tossed one each to Micha and I. Micha shrugged before opening it and trying to chew on it while I just stared at it.

"Uh, Remeer?" Merl spoke. "Did you check the expiry date?"

Suddenly Micha started shaking.

"Micha?" I became alarmed as she stuck the rest of the food in her mouth and jumped to her feet.

"ThisisreallyreallygoodcanIhavesomemoreIfeellikeIwanttorunamarathonrightnow!" She rambled, jumping before speeding out the trapdoor and down the ladder.

"Remeer, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER!" I stood up and glared at him while he looked liked a deer caught in headlights.

"Uh.."

"What's in that Candy Cake?!"

"Candy Cane." Merlin corrected. I turned slowly I scowled.

"Do I look like I care what it's called?" I spat. He flinched at my harsh tone but people being scared of me was the least of my worries, Micha was my priority.
