The White-Eyed Demon

Chapter 25: Planning

The guards ran to Notch, many of them out of breath. "THEY'RE GONE!!" Notch stood up, anger and disbelief in his voice. "WHAT?!!" One of the guards nodded their head. "We found poor Harold burned to a crisp King Notch!" Notch growled, he should have known better than to let that girl go down to visit Herobrine. 'I need to stay calm about this. Don't let anyone know I am worried that Herobrine and that whore escaped.' Notch took a deep breath, his voice calm and even now. "I see. I will deal with this myself." A young guard stepped forward. "Are you sure that's a good idea King Notch? Herobrine is---" Before the guard could finish his sentence Notch punched him into a nearby wall, walking over towards him, about ready to finish him off when the young guards superior stepped in. "I-I do apologize for Vince's behavior! He just started today and is very new to this. I will make sure he is punished for his insolence by bringing up that mans name and questioning your judgement." 

Notch glanced at the young guard who lay unconscious on the floor before looking back at Hugo, the guard standing before him. "Very well. Make sure Vince knows how lucky he is that I am in a forgiving mood today." With that Notch turned around and retired to his chambers, thinking long and hard about how he would get Herobrine to return to his palace. It was near midnight that he at last came up with the perfect idea. "I'll use the whore as bait! If he loves her so much he won't hesitate to come and save her. Haha! I'm brilliant."  He would wait a couple weeks though, and capture her when Herobrine least expected it. 

Herobrine in the meantime doted on Sirenia as the due date of the baby got closer and closer. He never wanted to leave her side, fearing that if he did so something would go wrong. However he was planning an invasion against Notch, and despite his reluctance to leave her, he had to. Herobrine had to formulate battle strategies and gain support from different mob kingdoms. The Illagers were more than happy to join him if he let them have some of the treasure that lay inside Notch's Castle. Herobrine gladly agreed to their conditions, and they even offered him some of their best black magic mages. 

Sirenia wanted to be in the battle alongside Herobrine but each time she brought it up he shot the idea down. The thought of losing her in battle was more than he could bear, he did not want to risk it and he told her as much. After three weeks all the preparations and strategies had been planned and all they needed to do was set it into action. Herobrine refused to attack Notch until after the baby was born, he could not fight at his full capacity if he was worrying about Sirenia giving birth while he was off fighting. 

The day of battle drew nearer, and while laying in bed with Sirenia he placed a hand over her swollen belly, he felt the baby kick and smiled. "They're a fighter." Sirenia giggled and nodded her head. "Definitely. Just like their father." She kissed Herobrine on the cheek. Herobrine's smile grew wider. Suddenly a Wither Skeleton General knocked on the door to the room. "Lord Herobrine I would like to speak with you if I am not interrupting anything." Herobrine softly sighed and kissed Sirenia on the forehead. "I'll be back." She smiled, nodding her head as she watched him leave the room.
