Herobrine x Reader - Secrets You Hold

Chapter 32 - Emotions

I opened my heavy eyelids, closing them and opening them a few more times before I could actually fully awake from my slumber. I slowly got up, my bones cracking and my back aching in intense pain. I cringed and laid my back against the cold cave wall. I quickly looked around, remember the events that happened yesterday.

"Herobrine?" I looked back and forth, looking for him but he was nowhere to be seen but I noticed something else. The little white wolf pup cozied up in a ball sleeping right next to me. Her wound was bandaged and she seemed to be in better shape than last I'd seen her in.

"Hey, your a little warrior huh?"I whispered and slowly moved my arm to gently pat her back and immediately  wagged her tail in her sleep.

"Kinda like Athena.." I whispered, thinking about the war goddess that my mother always told me stories about. To my surprise, the puppy got up from that small comment and looked up at me, wagging her tail with happiness to see me alright."You like that name?"She looked up at me, her eyes sparkling while staring at my own.

"Athena is it then," I continued to stroke her back but stopped when a sudden intense pain hit me and I cringed in pain once again. Her face suddenly turned to worry and she was quick to act to make me feel better. She licked my hand, making my pained expression into one of happiness and laughter while her wet tongue tickled my fingers.

My enjoyment didn't last long when I heard echoing footsteps down the dark cave. It didn't help that they were getting louder and louder, and I couldn't see anything besides a few blocks away.

My heart began to race more as they were getting closer and closer, and slowly the figure emerged from the darkness.

"Oh.. it's just you," I signed in relieve and quickly looked away with a little bit of guilt.

"Who the hell else would it be?" He walked over to me, pulling out something behind his pocket. He bent down to my eye level, which made me feel a bit more intimidated.

"What...?" I said as I slowly turned my head to look at him in the corner of my eye. He suddenly held a bottle of some pink liquid to me. "What is that..?"

"Drink it." He commanded, holding the drink closer to my face.

"W-what? Why would I drink something when I don't even know what's inside," I looked at the bottle, suddenly noticing the sparkles inside the liquid.

"It's a healing potion, it took all night to get so just drink it," His expression got darker and his voice got more impatient the more I asked questions. 

he worked all night for it? does that mean-

"Did you got to the Nether?!" I asked in surprisement . Maybe this was it, maybe he did care about getting our friends back but waited to get me better until he went in there to look for them-

"Hell no!" His brash voice interrupted my thoughts, "Damn Witches. There a lot more rare then they use to be with my powers I couldn't find any of them till this morning, took forever. Besides, making a portal, going to a fortress, getting ingredients! Are you stupid or something? that would take days! Now drink it!" He held it closer to my face, if his expression couldn't get anymore irritated I didn't know what could.

I felt a bit sad that he hadn't thought about going back to our friends yet, but at the same time  while he told me his hard work with trying to get one healing potion it suddenly made my heart sink with guilt. I couldn't just take potion he worked hard for.

"Your...More beat up than I am so you should drink it. Plus your the one who worked for it," I turned my head to look away from his angered expression.
