Forever There, Forever Watching (A Minecraft Herobrine story)

Chapter 2: Sightings

Once again if you haven't read my friend's story, read hers too!

Enjoy!

It was probably six months later. I was playing on Minecraft on my Xbox 360. I was, for the first time in a while, not looking for Herobrine. I was merely exploring my world: I had exited my home Village and entered the jungle. I could tell that the end of the world was nearby. Sure enough, I slammed into the invisible barrier, or, as Minecraft calls it, invisible bedrock. I had just exited a tunnel, and it was turning dark. I turned around to go back to my Village -- and froze.

There one second.

Gone the next.

Vanished.

Herobrine.

His white eyes were burned on mine. I couldn’t get his shape out of my head. I was so terrified. I couldn’t move. My hands shaking, I pressed the start button, saved the world, and exited. I told Andy and Andi about my sighting immediately, but no one believed me. I couldn’t tell Mom, because she knew nothing about Minecraft. I wasn’t sure I could trust the videos, because of what Andy had said six months ago. I didn’t know how reliable the pictures were. Come to think of it, had I really seen him? Or had it been because I’d been thinking about him, which I had? I didn’t know, but I had the image frozen in my mind.

I started a new creative world, which I titled, “Mansion,” because that was what I planned on building. I found an area of plains, which had no trees at all, and levelled it off. I could had just made a superflat world, which has no trees, no mountains, no anything except Villages, and only went three blocks into the ground, but I wanted depth, height, and trees. I browsed the different blocks and selected diamond, gold, emerald, and lapis lazuli: the expensive blocks. Diamond is light blue, gold yellow, emerald green, and lapis lazuli a much darker blue, if you didn’t know. On second thought, I also chose light pink wool. I dug out a thirteen by thirteen hole and placed the wool along the bottom: the floor. I took the lapis and stacked it thirteen blocks high in the corners and connected the corners along the top. I took out the top block in the corner and replaced it with glowstone. I made the walls out of diamond, cut out a straight line a block away from the corner on each side, and filled the lines with gold. I cut out large windows on the sides and back and put glass in them. The roof was lapis. I then went inside. I took glowstone and placed them in each of the corners, on the top. I put three beds in the far left corner. I made a dividing wall out of diamond, lined with gold, and put crafting tables beside it. Another dividing wall, furnaces. Another, a chest. Above the chest a placed a sign: “BLOCKS.” I put another chest on the other side of another wall, and above it I put another “BLOCKS” sign. Then two “TOOLS” chests (both of which I completely filled with pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and even shears). A “FOOD” chest, for when I switched it to survival. An “ARMOR” chest (which I left teeming with diamond armor).  A “WEAPONS” chest (which I filled to the brim with diamond swords). A “BOW AND ARROWS” chest (there was one bow and everything else was arrows). And three “MISCELLANEOUS” chests, for everything else. I jazzed it all up with paintings and item frames. I added two iron doors, pressure plates on the inside and buttons on the outside. The house was complete.

I headed outside. I made animal pens for cows, sheep, and pigs. I dug a hole for chickens. Then I spawned the animals: three cows, four sheep, five pigs, five chickens. I spawned and tamed three dogs, who I put into a house of their own (made out of gold), and did the same to three cats (whose house was made of diamond). I put a wall around my whole property.

That’s when I saw him.

Nearly done with my building, I glanced into the forest and saw two white eyes staring at me again. I totally freaked out again, but I kept building. I added a second layer to the wall, a third, a fourth, a fifth. The only way in or out would be flying. Herobrine can’t do that… can he?

I flew out, now no longer planning to switch to survival mode, and trekked to a Village. I found the house with the lava and stole the Villager’s things. I messed around, killing animals for fun, mapping out my world. Then I returned home.

Everything was untouched. Nothing had been messed with. My cows mooed placidly. The sheep ate grass. The pigs stared at me. My chickens squawked inside their hole. My house was perfectly fine. The wall was still standing. Everything was perfect.

Except for a sign right in front of the wall.

“YOU CAN’T KEEP ME OUT FOREVER.”

Terror pierced me. Was Herobrine threatening me? But I thought he couldn’t place signs. But I’d read that on the Internet, it wasn’t something I knew for sure. I knew for sure that he could, as was shown right in front of me. I broke the sign and placed a new one. Maybe I could communicate with him?

“What do you want?” I wrote. I dove into my property as fast as possible and locked myself in my house. I waited five minutes after I dug myself three blocks into my pink wool floor, then flew out and checked the sign.

“You.”

I replaced it. “What do you mean?”

I hid again, then checked.

“I WANT YOU.”

I decided to try a different tack. “Are you Herobrine?”

“Yes.”

“So you are real?”

“Unfortunately for you, yes.”

“How did you find my world?”

“Easy.”

“How?”

No response to that.

“Why do you want me?”

I put myself into my hole and covered it in pink wool. I waited for three minutes. Suddenly, I heard my door opening. At the same time, a message appeared on my screen. “Your game mode has been changed.” The food and health bars appeared.

I was hyperventilating. Herobrine was real, and he was going to kill me.

I stayed completely still. I heard soft crunches as someone walked over to my hole. They stood on top of it. Luckily, this was Minecraft. They can’t make the wool collapse inward. I held my breath (not that it made any difference), but there were no more sounds. My pause button refused to work, even though I pummelled it, trying to exit the game even without saving. The power buttons that would turn off the Xbox failed to comply, as well. I got on my knees and leaned forward to hit the power button on the console. Suddenly, the pink wool over my hole was destroyed, and I was staring into the shining white eyes of Herobrine himself.

I would have screamed, but for some reason I couldn’t speak.

Someone behind me gave me an almighty shove, and I was sent sprawling into the television. I clenched my eyes and braced for impact -- but it didn’t work out as I’d thought.

I bet it seems like it doesn't have that much action right now but my friend and I have some REALLY CRAZY STUFF planned for this and it's gonna get awesome.

:D

Bye!
