No Escape Book Two - Chapter Nine

"Pixel, Lockdown and Endereye?" The Warden said. The Wardens had been gathering all their subjects and sorting them into groups. Where they would all fight against each other, you know, for FUN?!
Endereye arched his back and hissed at the Warden, extending his claws. Lockdown nudged him. "Do what they say!"
But Endereye's couldn't. They were required to fight to the death or near everyone few weeks.
"And..fight!" The Warden shouted and left the white room where the endermen were.

A pink-ish purple female EnderHybrid with only wings lunged at Endereye and bite his tail. He threw her off and slashed her side. He turned to Lockdown and latched his teeth onto his neck, felt something, that wasn't Lockdown, knock him off. It was an Enderman with pixelated patterns on his limbs and eyes standing above him with his claws about the rip open his stomach. Endereye bolted to a corner and saw the other Enderman help Lockdown. What?!

"You okay?" Endereye heard him say. They know each other! He thought.

Lockdown nodded. Then the Enderman lunged at Endereye again and bit down hard on his wrist. Endereye ripped himself free and hissed. Having enough he spread his wings and flew to the top of the room, which wasn't allowed by the Wardens but he had no choice.

Wardens came into the room to stop the fighting and see the damage. "Get down here!" One shouted to Endereye. Endereye hissed again but flew down. The Warden smacked him with a metal pole in the chest and he squealed with shock and pain.

A few hours later...

Endereye watched the Wardens put Lockdown back inside the cage. Once they left, Endereye faced him. "Who was that other Enderman?"

"Just a friend." He replied.

"Tell me." Endereye insisted innocently.

"Well, we met here a few years ago, he was injured and the Wardens took him here but decided to keep him. His name is Virus, by the way, and he's my best friend." Lockdown explained.

"Oh." Endereye stretched and curled into a little ball. "Well, goodnight."
