Sky Returns {Completed}

Jerome

The group walked through the forest, True still carrying Sky over his shoulder as they went on for maybe thirty minutes. Mitch and Ty talked as they walked, the sun setting nearby as the forest began to quiet down. At some point they got to a clearing to take a break, True dropping Sky next to tree. "So, why do you live out here Mitch?" Ty asked as he took a sip of the water bottle Mitch had handed him.

"Jerome and me ran here together when we were seventeen." Mitch said. "I'm twenty one, so we've lived here for about five years. I ran away from home when I was sixteen." Ty raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" He asked. "Usual story or are you special?" Mitch chuckled.

"Nah. I was just bored there. Nothing was happening in my small Canadian town." Ty's eyes widened.

"You're from Canadia?" He asked with surprise.

"Yeah!" Mitch giggled. "I took a lot of trains to get here." Ty nodded.

"Yeah, I bet! How'd you meet Jerome?"

"He saved me when I first got to Minecraftia. I was in Bacca territory and was so lost I couldn't tell North from South. He helped me get out of it and to the nearest town. We visited each other a lot at the borders of the forest. I guess he got fed up with his pack, because in the middle of the night he showed up at my motel room and got me to leave with him in the middle of the night. By sunrise we were here, the forest near New Mine City. We've been here since."

"So you two are pretty close huh?"

"Yep! Jerome is super protective of me too. Mainly because I'm horrible with swords and daggers, but I am pretty good with a bow I suppose."

"I'm a dagger person myself..." Ty looked at True. "What about you True? Your sword looks pretty cool." True raised an eyebrow before he glanced up at the light orange handle of his sword, which could be see over his shoulder. It was in the holder he kept on his back. He grabbed the handle and pulled it out skillfully. It was long like a katana and it had a smooth, shining light blue blade with a light blue handle. Symbols glowed on the blade as the light hit it, shimmering before True stabbed it onto the ground.

"Its nothing special, just a sword." He said simply. Ty raised an eyebrow, before Mitch pointed to the daggers on Ty's hips.

"What about you Ty?" He asked, and Ty smiled before he pulled his daggers out. The twin blades gleamed, and he grinned before he spun them, tossing them into the air as they glowed green. He caught them, slipping them back into their holders.

"Nothing special about them either." He mocked True's voice, who rolled his eyes. Mitch giggled before he held up his bow.

"Nothing special here either. Jerome made it for me." The bow was in great shape, made of a light color wood that was flexible and easy to carry. He took off his quiver, which was made of a black cloth. About fifteen arrows with white and brown feathers at the ends sat in it. He pulled one out, revealing the light green tips. "Jerome is able to use a few herbs in this forest to made a poison, it kills animals pretty quickly in case I miss a killing shot. Makes it so I don't waste my arrows. Bonus is that it doesn't affect the meat either."

"Nice." Ty smiled, before glancing at Sky. "Is he ever going to wake up?" He sighed.

"Don't complain, you aren't the one whose been carrying him." True grumbled, and Ty rolled his eyes.

"The guy hasn't eaten in forever, I doubt he's heavy."
"That's what you think."

Unknowing to them, dark brown eyes glared at them from behind a bundle of trees, gleaming with an animalistic look inside the pupils. They moved onto another topic, the gleaming brown eyes watching as they narrowed. A protective look filled them when they saw Mitch, and their pupils dilated as they flickered to Sky. The pulled out a gleaming ax, stalking toward the tree. Soon they were standing in front of Sky's body, raising the ax slowly into the air as they looked at his throat.

Then Sky's eyes snapped open and his sword clashed with the ax just as it swooped down. Mitch, Ty, and True looked up in shock as True pulled out his sword quickly. Mitch gasped loudly.

"Jerome, no!"
