Down With Herobrine- ON HOLD

Chapter 1

I approach the castle, sword ready. I have been waiting for this moment all my life. There is only one thing on my bucket list, and I have had it there since I was three. Unfortunately, I have been forced to wait for a whole fifteen years. And now, I finally get to do it.

I get to destroy Herobrine.

As I take my last few steps towards the door, a tingling feeling begins to fill my stomach, as if I have eaten butterflies. I can't help being nervous, since my life and satisfaction are on the line. I have to kill him. For my parents. For my city.

I stop one block away from the door. I take a deep breath, possibly one of the last I will ever take. Then I mine through the diamond and emerald door and step onto the cobblestone floor of the castle.

The moment I step through, I can see a music disc fall from the ceiling and into a jukebox on the other side of the room. It makes a loud sound like an alarm, peircing my ears. I fall to the floor, my hands over my ears. My enchanted diamond sword, which I have been mining since I was ten in order to make, clatters onto the floor beside me. People with creepy skins and diamond armour all over them fly through doors. They surround me, making escape impossible. I am sure they will kill me, but they don't. They just stand there, making sure I don't escape. It is as if they are waiting for something. I look behind me and see that I had hit a tripwire, causing the security system to go into action.

Suddenly, a set of huge double doors open at the top of the stairs that are on the other side of the room. A figure with no skin, just a normal Steve outfit, makes his way down the stairs. The odd thing about him is that he is always looking down, not showing his face. Maybe he is one of Herobrine's main servants?

"Well, well, well," he exclaims happily. "What do we have here?"

"An intruder, sir!" one of the guards answer expressionlessly.

"That was a rhetorical question!" the man with no skin booms. He pulls a lever that just so happens to be beside him and a well-lit hole forms where the block he was standing on used to be. He plummets down, screaming all the way. I finally hear a splash and the man silences a second later. Killing one of his guards for answering a rhetorical question? Geez, this manservant is harsh. Herobrine has given him a lot of abilities.

"Anyways," the leader continues casually, as if he kills someone everyday, which he probably does. "What should we do with this intruder?" Everyone is silent. "You can answer this question!" he screams madly.

"Oh, uh, should we throw him off the castle? Into the lava pool with the Ghast?" one of the guards suggest.

The leader nods. "Ah, yes, good idea," he agrees. "Off the castle it is. I knew I was right to spare you," he chuckles. The guard rolls his eyes.

The guards approach me, decreasing the size of the circle. When I can barely fit, three of them work together to lift me up. The other guards form a path towards the stairs where the servant awaits. He is still looking down, but he lifts his head a little so that I can see that he is smiling, he is happy with my death.

The guards that are carrying me reach the top of the stairs. I begin to think about fighting, but then I remember that my sword is gone. I look back and see someone picking it up and putting it in their inventory.

Suddenly, everything goes black. However, I know that I am still conscious. I stretch my hands out to the side, but something stops them almost immediately. They have put me in some kind of wooden case.

I just sit there for a while, tumbling in my case, and letting the truth that I will die sink in as they take me to the roof of the castle. After a while, the bumping stops and everything is still and silent. Then a voice announces my fate.

"You are about to die," the voice of the main servant booms. "You are about to be flipped upside down in your case. Then we will open the latch and you will plummet off the castle and into the lava. Your death will happen in ten, nine, eight..."

He counts down from ten. When he reaches six, the case flips over, and I am on my back on an uncomfortable position.

"Five, four, three, two..."

And then the dreaded number.

"One!"

The case opens and I fall out of the dark case and into the bright, clean, Minecraft air. My body stretches out from the tight, uncomfortable position I was stuck in in the case. I look down and see a small, four-by-four block hole in a large, glass dome. Inside the dome is a pool of lava, and there is a Ghast floating around inside, making occasional screeching sounds.

I look up, and the dome is quickly around me. I am falling quickly, leaving less time for me to take my last sights. So I look up for my last look at the sky from the Overworld. Since I will be in the Aether in less then a minute, I won't be able to see the sky from below. But instead of a beautiful sky catching my eye, something else does. The main servant actually wasn't a servant.

It was Herobrine.

I can see his glowing eyes now, looking down at me with satisfaction. Those eyes haunt me. When I look at them, I can see my parents throwing me through the flames. I can see the death of my city.

I am still staring at his happy, evil eyes when the Ghast flies above my me, blocking him out. He makes a sccreeching sound and his mouth and eyes open wide. A fireball rockets out of his mouth towards me. But the fireball doesn't hit me, because I hit the lava first.

All I can see is orange. My body is burning up, and all I can feel is heat. My life is decreasing very fast, and I am quickly dead. There is only one button, and it says:

GO TO NETHER.

What? What did I do wrong? I sigh in my mind since I can't do it out loud anymore. That is my only choice, so I just press the button and go to my horrible afterlife that awaits in the Nether.
