Missing Stampy: A Minecraft Adventure (2)

Chapter 8: Persuading, and Escape?

Stampy's POV

I wipe the steady stream of tears running down my face. My mother puts her paw to my face and wipes the tears.

"Shhhh, little Kittycake, and tell me what's wrong."

I look into my mother's leafy green eyes and trust her.

"J- Justin ha-has been bull-bulling me and Lee-" I say between sobs.

"Have you tried ignoring him?" My mother says.

"Yeah, b-but he just keeps hurting us."

"Ok, then. Come out and have some cake, I just need to go and ring a few people."

And my mother takes me to the kitchen and plates up some cake and a few cookies. I smile and give her a quick kiss and cuddle before sitting down to eat my cake.

I hear a clang as my cell door opens. I hear a high pitched squeal and a thud next to me. The cell door closes and something touches me in the darkness.

"Who... Who are you?" the person asks. I can tell it's a girl.

"I'm Stampy..." I say uncertainly. There is a shuffling sound as she moves closer to me. Now I can see her face and see it is a half ghast, half player girl. She has pale white skin, red eyes and white hair.

"I've heard of you. Master talks of you all the time." says the girl.

"Who are you, then?' I ask.

She looks at down shyly and sighs before looking back to me. "I don't know. I really don't know anymore."

"What do you mean?" I say confused.

"Well, I don't know what side I'm on."

"What's your name?"

"Naomi."

"Why did you get put in here?" I ask her.

"I tried to save my stepsister." I could see she had tears in her eyes.

"Where was your stepsister?" I ask quietly, to try not upset her.

"I worked for Master, who you know as Hit the Target. I am forbidden to call him any other name... Or he will kill my family."

"What about you? Would he kill you?" I ask.

"No, silly. Don't you get it? I'd rather die than my family get killed. It's like watching all the laughter, happiness and good times dying with them."

"Oh." I manage to say.

After a few minutes of silence, I talk again.

"Do you want your 'Master' dead?"

Naomi looks at me weirdly.

"Well, he hasn't exacly treated me like I'm his daughter, but I don't know if I want him dead..." says Naomi as she sighs.

"You can always come back with me to my world-"

"I would never fit in there. I once ran away from my homeland, the Nether, and tried to fit in to someone's world. They did not accept me, and so I travelled around people's worlds, trying to fit in."

She stares at me before she continues.

"After 8 months of wandering around, I found Master. He took me in, when no other leader would."

"But I will take you in. I am Stampy, leader of Stampy's Lovely World. Just help me to defeat your Master and you will be free to live in my world for as long as you wish, Naomi."

"Are you trying to persuade me to come to your side?" Naomi says.

"Maybe." I say. "But before we try to escape, I want to ask you how you got in here..."

"I disobeyed Hit the Target. I tried to help my stepsister, who is on your side."

I realise that she said Hit the Target. "You didn't call him Master..." I say.

"That's cause he's not my master anymore." she says with a cheeky grin before firing a fireball at the nether brick bars.

We run through the smoky hole created by the fireball and start to run down the nether brick halls.

Naomi leads me to a room full of mobs and half breed mobs like Naomi.

"Hey guys!" Naomi yells over the crowd. "

Stampy here has promised me freedom, happiness and a home! Your master has taken over your lives! Don't you remember when you had a family? Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers? Your master has forced you into sadness! But if you follow Stampy, he will give you happiness! Who is with me?!" Naomi screams.

"No more Master!" they all yell and start to grab weapons.

"Wow Naomi, you could have me following you in an instant..."

She smiles. "Before we go fight, can we rescue my stepsister?" She asks.

"Sure." I say as we turn left, right and left again.

Naomi breaks into a run as we approach a long corridor. I run after her.

"Who is your stepsister?" I ask.

Naomi slows down to look at me.

"Oh, her name's Netty."
