Ariadne felt something or someone nudging her, the all to familiar 'click clack' of bones is what wakes her up. With a start she jumps up and falls onto the floor with a thud. Letting out a soft groan of pain, the click clacking approached once more, and an unfamiliar voice spoke. 

"Oh dear I'm so sorry for scaring you miss! Are you okay?!" 

Ariadne looks up to see a skeleton standing over her, yet it had no weapons on it, not even the usual bow and arrow. Also, it was quite short. 'Must be one of the servants Herobrine mentioned yesterday.' Ariadne finally spoke.

"Yeah I'm fine. You just startled me is all. Usually when I see or hear a skeleton it's bad news. I've never met one that could talk though."

Ariadne groans and sits up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes before sitting on the bed and looking at the servant who appears quite nervous about something. Stifling a yawn Ariadne spoke once more.

"I get the feeling you came here for another reason besides waking me up. I thought that it was impossible to sleep in the Nether though."

At this comment the skeleton smiles.

"Master can do anything Miss. He controls the Nether, the Void, and the End!" The skeleton covers its mouth IMMEDIATELY after saying that "I-I really shouldn't have said that! Master will be so angry with me! H-He'll send me to the dungeons again and have me tortured! Oh I shouldn't have said that either. OH DEAR!!" 

The skeleton begins to quiver in fear and terror over what Herobrine could do. This puts Ariadne on edge, 'If his servants are this terrified of him. . .God knows what he could do to me!' Feeling sorry for the skeleton Ariadne goes over and attempts to comfort the servant, the click-clacking of the skeletons bones is all Ariadne can here. 

"Um. . .There, there? Can you uh. . .Tell me a little more about your 'Master'? I don't want to just call you 'Servant Skeleton' or just 'Skeleton'. Can I please give you a name?" At this the skeleton stops shaking and looks at Ariadne with what she imagines to be shock. 

"Y-You would g-give me a name? OH YOU ARE SO KIND MISS!!" The skeleton hugs Ariadne tightly, taking her by surprise but she hugs it back. "M-Master never gives us names miss. . .Y-You're the first mortal he's brought here that has treated me with any form of kindness!" Ariadne frowns "What does he usually call you?" The skeleton whimpers "Sl-Slaves or Servants, sometimes he hurts us intentionally when he is angered. Oh no I shouldn't have said that! Master will KILL ME for this!" The skeleton breaks down into choking sobs. Ariadne felt anger rising in her chest towards Herobrine. 'That Bastard has played me for a fool this whole time! I figured as much, it was just an act. Why am I not surprised?!


At that moment Herobrine appears in the room, a look of intense anger on his face. 'Is-Is he mad at me or at--' She looks at the quivering skeleton, 'this servant?' Herobrine takes a step towards the servant, then another, and another, stomping towards the skeleton and Ariadne. Ariadne gets between Herobrine and the skeleton.

"DON'T HARM DOBBY!"

((Yes, I came up with that name intentionally after writing the dialogue for the Skeleton servant.))

Herobrine stops in his tracks and bursts out laughing.

"HAHAHA! THAT'S WHAT YOU NAMED HIM?! HAHAHA!! OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS HILARIOUS!"

Ariadne is taken aback by this sudden change in behavior from Herobrine, 'Moments ago he looked as though he wanted to tear the servant apart and now he's laughing hysterically?'

"What's so funny Herobrine?"

Herobrine stops laughing shortly after Ariadne says his name, he glares at her. "ONLY SPEAK MY NAME WHEN I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO SO! OTHERWISE CALL ME MASTER! AM I UNDERSTOOD?!" 

Ariadne feels her legs getting weak as Herobrine shouts at her, his voice echoing throughout the castle, and possibly throughout the entire Nether. 'Now I understand why everyone fears him, he's so quick to anger and is unpredictable in behavior!' Her terror must have been obvious on her face as immediately Herobrine stops his yelling. 


Herobrine's POV

Shit, I scared her. . .Not good, now she won't want to help me. But. . .If she's terrified of me then that means she'll be far more willing to cooperate. I just need to threaten her, or use 'Dobby' as an example of what will happen to her if she steps out of line. Yes. . .I like that idea! 

I let out a dark chuckle and come closer to the young woman, she abandons protecting the servant in order to save her own hide. 'Selfish humans. So selfish.' I grab the servant by the neck, all the while staring into the young woman's eyes. Wh-Why do I feel bad doing this?! SHE'S  A MORTAL! A PAWN I WILL USE TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS! NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS!! 

Original POV 

At that moment, Herobrine snaps 'Dobby's' neck and throws his now severed head across the room into a wall, it shatters on impact. Ariadne yelps in fear, tears forming in her eyes. She closes her eyes tightly and softly whimpers out "D-Don't hurt me!" Expecting a painful blow, but nothing happens. No pain. She slowly opens one eye to see Herobrine standing right in front of her, a wicked smirk on his face.

"I won't. . .As long as you do EXACTLY what I say. You can expect a nice torture session if you disobey me. And I am quite, creative with my torture techniques~"

Ariadne's cheeks get bright red as dirty thoughts flood her mind, Herobrine reads her mind and almost blushes himself at how dirty the thoughts are. 

"You have a very. . .dirty imagination~"

Ariadne's eyes get wide. "Y-YOU CAN READ MY MIND?!" Herobrine laughs maniacally.

"I'M A GOD! OF COURSE I CAN READ MINDS! HAHAHA! Silly mortal. . ." At that he teleports away and leaves Ariadne alone in the room, with Dobby's remains, but only for a moment as the remains disappear into smoke like any other mob when killed. Ariadne softly speaks to herself.

"Wh-What have I gotten myself into?"
