Hermitcraft: Escaping Insanity

Chapter 14

EX's POV
    I was waiting at grian's base for Xel, since I told iskall to tell him to meet me here.

"hey there X!!" xel exclaimed as he landed inside of the base.

"hey xel" I greeted back.

"iskall said you wanted to meet me here, what's up?" Xel asked.

"I just wanted to ask something.." I started.

"what is it?" xel sked as he sat down on of the the messed up shulker boxes as I sat down on one too.

"why did you asked me to help you in the first place when you met me back in the forest???" I asked.

"oh.. That" xel replied while scratching the back of his neck.

"the thing is, being a watcher means you can see everything on a specific server.. And I kinda knew what happened between you and X.." he explained as I lowered my head down.

"and I knew you aren't really evil, your just hurt, you just wanted you and your brother back to the way it was back then... The thing is... I understand you.." he explained more as tears started to form in my eyes.

I was crying remembering the memories from the past when suddenly xel pulled me into a hug
"I know it hurts, but you need to accept that your brother is with these new people now, just because he treats them as a family, it doesn't mean he would abandon you" he tried to comfort me.

"heh... You and Grian really are the same person..." I told him.

"what?" he asked.

He then let go of me to look at me directly "I really didn't believe that you and Grian are just the same person that got divided into 2 people, but now I do..."

"what do you mean by that??" he questioned

"when Grian joined hermitcraft... He was the first person that actually understands me..."

Flashback

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling while holding the necklace that my brother gave me back then.

I just wish these Hermits never showed up. I wish my brither didn't get promoted as an admin... We wre doing fine... Until...

I got distracted from my thoughts when I heard a noise outside, it's like someone stepped on a tree branch

I got up from my bed and looked down the window from my hidden tree house. I'm living far away from the main hermitland and I hid my base deep within a thick forest so no one would find me but how can someone find this.

I waited until I saw a person, he's wearing a red shirt and black jeans, he's also blonde but it seems like he's looking for something.

I waited for him to leave when suddenly he looked up and saw my treehouse

"a treehouse who could be living here??" I heard him mumbling to himself loudly.

I then grabbed my sword, I really don't wanna kill anyone, I'm not a murderer, pranks and trolls is what I'm good at, but I'm not going out of the line just to kill. I'm just making sure, what if they attack me?? Atleast I could defend myself.

Then I heard a knock on the trapdoor "hello??? Anyone here???" the boy asked.

I didn't respond then the trapdoor opened. He stared at me, while I stared at him, not knowing what this guy wants.

"oh!! I'm sorry, I didn't know someone was living here ummm.... May I come in??" he asked.

Why would he come in?? Can he just go?? Doesn't he know I'm Evil X???

"go away" i bluntly replied

"oh... I'm sorry, I must be bothering you X, I'll just leave.." he replied with a sad tone, but then I noticed soemthing... His eyes, they are somehow lifeless??? There's no shine in them.

"wait" I stopped him "sorry, I just thought your here to uhhh cause trouble like the other Hermits, you can come in and my name is EX I'm xisuma's twin brother" I told him

I let him in and he settled himself on my couch.

"sooooo, your Ex?? X's twin brother??" he asked

"yes"

"that's cool!! My name is Grian!" he replied with enthusiasm in his voice but his eyes clearly says the opposite.

"hey mind if I ask??" he started

"go ahead"

"why aren't you with the other Hermits?? Why are you alone here??"

"they haven't told you, haven't they??"

"told me about what??"

I then explained to him all the destruction, trolls, pranks, and griefing I did to the server and how much I hate every single one I the Hermits and how Xisuma banned me multiple times.

"woah.. That's kinda extreme, but the pranks and troll parts, I like it"

"yeah..."

"why did you tell me all of this??"

"your new, and you didn't know me, and you trusted me instantly when you came here without fear even when I said my name is 'evil' X"

"I see.. Well I understand you..and what you've Breen through.. "

"wait what??"

"yeah...." I noticed him lowered his head and his mood changed, and his eyes were so dull

"your not ok... I can see your eyes, they're so lifeless and dull, you don't have to tell me.."

"oh... It's just that, your story kinda reminds me of yandere high.. And a best friend..."

"looks like we're two broken people huh??"

"seems like it.."

Flashback ends

"then he started visiting me sometimes and we pranks some Hermits secretly together, I also helped him a bit on his panic attacks with iron swords.."

"that's why you agreed instantly when I asked you to help me watch over Grian"

"yeah..."

"we better get going, I wanna check on Grian, he may be OK now but he still has Nightmares sometimes and uhhh..."

"self inflict himself??"

"yeah... That..."

"OK, I'm gonna go and try to find soemthing to buy my time with"

And with that xel stopped up and flew away from the base to find Grian, while I'm here standing at Grian's base when suddenly a portal opened behind me.

I turned around but I was too late a glowing trident impaled me through my chest as I hit the wall, my helmet also cracked because of the impact.

"oops!!! I thought you were that admin guy!!! I guess I took out the wrooonggggg person!!!!! Kekekekeekekekek~"

And with that my eyes went wide as blood drops from my mouth. "yu-.. Yuki... H-how..."

She then walks towards me pulling the trident out and I fell on the floor bleeding.

"hehehehe~ I just fooled those watchers until I escaped, not to mention I stole one of their weapons!!  Hehe~"

She kneeled and stared on me and pulled out her knife

"now

it's time

For you

TO SLEEP"

and with that I saw Yuki's knife dashed towards my head
