Legends Of Minecraftia, Book 1, The Return

Chapter 8

Talion's POV

"I'll be right back," I say, pulling out my crossbow and loaded it. Carrie looked worried, and honestly, I was too, my sister was up there, and the most docile prisoners we had were Carrie and the purple-haired one. Hopefully.

I started up the stairs and saw Cassie on the ground, unconscious.

I look around before carefully making my way to my sister. She didn't seem injured, so that's something.

She groaned, and I looked up. My eyes widened as i'm kicked in the face by then Violet haired girl.

I hear a loud 'crack' and realize I can't see out of my right eye. That girl broke my skull!

She ran down the stairs, and I heard the metal door open to Carrie's cell.

I growled and held my eye while it bled everywhere. I slammed my boney fist onto the alarm button, and bells rang across the camp.

I saw as they tried to run, almost making a quick escape, but an archer shot Carrie in the arm.

Violet helped her over the wall, while more arrows whistled through the air.

"Assemble a hunting party!" I shouted to one of the guards, "And get the Whites!"

Carries POV (WoW TaLiOnS sCrIpT iS sHoRt)

I held my arm as our soft leather boots thumped across the dirt. The arrow was still in my arm, and it hurt a lot. We finally stopped after some time to catch our breaths.

"Vi, you okay?" I ask as I jog over to her.

"Yeah, I am, are you?" she asks, gesturing her hand to the arrow.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt that bad..." I say, grabbing it, which was a horrible mistake because I let out a sharp cry of pain as soon as I touched it.

"Are you sure about that?" Asked VioletViolet, putting her hands on her hips.

"No, not anymore," I answer, looking up at her.

"It is getting dark, and I frankly don't want to be eaten tonight," she says.

"They will probably be looking for us, and we need someplace concealed," I say, looking around.

"We need to go a bit farther than...there's nothing of use here," Vi says.

I sigh, my arm hurts a lot, and I'm exhausted... But to survive, I must keep moving with Vi

~Time Skip Brought To You By A Duck~

We had found a cave on top of a small mountain. It was hidden by a large dark oak tree and went deep into it. It was a dead-end too, which meant we didn't need to worry about monsters coming from behind us.

Violet started a small fire, and thanks to Minecraft being Minecraft, it didn't cause a lot of smoke like it did in real life.

I started daydreaming about home as the sky went from pink and orange to a dull blue.

I imagined my warm bed and mom coming in every thirty minutes to check on VioletViolet and me. I remember once on Christmas, she had put two taffies on our pillows, so when we woke up, we would have a delightful Christmas morning feast.

I didn't realize I was dozing off till VioletViolet had laid down by me.

"Goodnight sis," she mutters before closing her eyes.

"Night Vi..." I say, before drifting off into a deep sleep.

Violet's POV

I jolt awake, looking around the small cave campsite. Why did I wake up?

I shrug to myself and look over to my sister, who is still sleeping, glad she was okay.

I must have just had a bad dream or something.

I stand up and go to the mouth of the cave. Huh... The sunrise was kind of beautiful. I missed home, but the peace was sweet.

I hear a rummaging sound behind me. I turn around and see a zombie in goggles and had red eyes, looking through the chest I made for our food.

She was with an enderman in a dark blue skirt and a white blouse. She had blue eyes and red boots.

"Hey! that's our food!" I say, throwing a rock at the zombie.

They froze for a moment, and the rock hit the zombie in the nose.

"OH GEEZ THAT HURTS, THAT VERY MUCH HURTS!" he exclaimed, holding his nose.

"And he talks!" I say in bewilderment.

"Of course! How is that a surprise?" said the enderman. Her voice rang like bells and echoed slightly.

"And Enderman, talk!" I say again.

"Of course! Zombies talk! And Enderman talk too!" she snapped.

"What in the world is going on!?" Said Carrie, who got off the stone floor.

We all looked towards her.

"Why are you arguing with an enderman, and why is the zombie holding its nose!?" she demanded.

"I threw a rock at the zombie's nose, and the enderman got upset," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"We have names, you know!" said the zombie. His voice was muffled by him pinching his now bleeding nose.

"Oh yeah, what are they?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.

"I'm Zack, and that's my friend Avery," Zack says, "How do you do!" he says.

"I'm Violet and that my sister Carrie, how do you do?" I say with the same intensity.

We both stare at each other for a moment.

"You guys look stupid..." I hear Carrie say.

"I agree with Carrie here..." Avery says, sounding unamused.

"What?" we both say in unison.

"Sorry for trying to steal your food, there isn't a lot around..." Zack apologizes, putting his hand out.

"It's fine, I was barely able to find any myself," I say, hesitantly shaking his cold and clammy hand.

"We can share, there are six cooked chicken," Carrie comments, pulling them out of the chest.

"Thank you, we appreciate it," says Avery, taking her chicken.

We all start eating hungrily.

After we are finished eating, Avery decided to take a look at my arm, which now has a blood-caked arrow in it.

As she does, we learn that Zack and Avery were running from mob Hunters, Avery was running because Endermen are as rare as mooshroom biomes now, ever since all End portals have shut forever.

And Zack was running because he escaped a mob camp years ago, leaving, regretfully, his sister behind.

He vowed to come back for her one day.

"Man, Mob Hunters are a big thing here, huh?" I ask. He nods and then looks at us quizzically.

"You aren't from around here, are you? You live in the Mesa?" he asks.

"Not really, we live far far away..." Carrie says, looking at me.

"Okay..." he says, looking at us suspiciously.

We hear a loud snap from outside the cave, turning all our attention towards it.

"What was that?" Zack asks.

"Let me check," I say, going to the mouth of the cave.

When I look out, I see a skeleton, with cracks in its bones and skull, with a white skull mark on its cheekbone. It was shaking like a leaf, and its eyes were a fiery red color. It screeched as soon as it saw me. More came out of the forest, and they all were growling like rabid dogs.

"Uh, guys? we have company..."
