Herobrine x Reader - Secrets You Hold

Chapter 22-Powerless

Chapter

There were many emotions running through my head and it made me ache. What should I do? What shouldn't I do? What's the right thing to do...? Ever since I've been being used by Herobrine I've trailed off toward my mind instead of the real world. Before this even happened I'd lived a normal, peaceful life without anyone or anything. Why was it right for me to help a villain? Am I leading everyone down the wrong path with me?If i'm helping someone do something wrong doesn't that make me a villain too? But...If I left him there i'd feel extremely guilty because he'd saved me once before as well, but he also took me away from my home. There was no reason to save him and no reason to leave him either...So then why did I?

I continued walking, ignoring the weight I held on my shoulder.I looked down at Herobrine, who hung on my shoulder as blood dripped down all over his face and neck. His eyes were closed, and his expression was unreadable which surprised me, he'd always had a look of hatred and annoyance, but his face didn't even look like he was in pain, it was almost...sad.He half walked/limped his way threw the tunnel, the rest of him being dragged by me. This was half of his weight and I could barely walk, especially when his heavy head was leaning on my shoulder. I suddenly thought about Noah, which I had totally forgot about when trying to save Herobrine. Should I tell Lukas? Or just ignore it because he may die. I wouldn't want have him to risk his life to save his brother just to find out that he already died. But what if there was a chance to save him? then I'd feel extremely guilty. I never associated with people much before meeting Herobrine other than my family, so if it were me in his place...What would I want? If I had a family member dying inside and out in that castle and more likely to die within seconds, would I risk my life to save someone that might not even make it? Again, I looked down at Herobrine, who didn't move his place at all. If I was going to save this monster, of course i'd help a family member as much as I could.

"Lukas," I said, still following him down the hollow tunnel, my footsteps echoing against the walls. I was scared to tell him the truth, because it were me in the state, i'd be very angry if someone hadn't told me about someone I cared about was dying inside the castle sooner, or already dead..

"Yes?"He said, not turning his head around to look at me or stopping to listen. His heavy footsteps made little water splashes against his boots as he held the torch up high in the air.

"Its..."I hesitated,afraid he might snap for not telling him before he even knew what I talking about.He stopped for a second, realizing my hesitation and turning around to look at me. He gave me a serious look that stared into my soul and I slowly stopped my tracks as well. Herobrine made a little groaning noise to show his annoyance for stopping abruptly without opening his eyes or mouth. Even though he tried not to act like it it was very obvious he was in an intense amount of pain. "It's-Your brother...I..I found him while looking for Herobrine in one of the cells.He was real beat up and thought he wouldn't make it-" I started to talk and panic more and more as I spoke until I finally stopped when Lukas didn't say anything..

I slowly lost my gaze from Herobrine and up toward him. I slowly started to panic when he didn't say anything

He suddenly turned around and shoved thru me, holding the torch and not even glancing at me as he walked by.

"Keep walking straight,you'll find shelter nearby when you get out, it's not to far. I'll meet up with you there," is all he said when he walked into the darkness, until I finally couldn't see him again.

I looked ahead, seeing a dim lit exit far away from me. I wasn't shocked, I knew Lukas would go back to save his brother, but who wouldn't? I looked at Herobrine, expecting him to make a snarky comment. But he laid his head down and closed his eyes, still in a heap of pain. I signed, continuing to walk forward until I reached the exit.
