Herobrine x Reader - Secrets You Hold

Chapter 34- Distant Noises

We continued to walk until we came upon a broken door at the main entrance of the stronghold. Herobrine didn't even stop to open the door and pushed his way through while stuck as close as possible to him. To distract myself from the ghostly noises of the creepy dungeon I decided to make small talk.

"So what are we doing here anyway?" I asked him, even if this just a way to distract myself I still was curious what the point of being here was while looking back to back sure little Athena was following our trail.

"I had secret weaponry when I lived here, it's decently hidden so I'm hoping no one found it so I'm going to go look." He said while he continued to walk through what seemed to be like a maze, but it sure looked like he knew where he was going. There was a sort of tone in his voice that made me think he was frustrated, even though I just gave him a heart to heart speech, I decided he was in one of those moods and did not speak. He opened doors and followed paths to more doors and then would turn the corner to more doors, it seemed like we were walking in circles.

While walking I spotted something in the corner of my eye while I was looking behind my back to make sure nothing was following me. I stopped walking for a moment and looked into the darkness where I thought I saw a small creature run into.

I decided to swallow up my fears and act brave for once in my life and investigate. As I walked closer to the darkness I could hear an odd squeak, and then suddenly a weird gray and spiky creature launched at my legs and started to attack. I forced back a scream and turned it into a squeal as I kicked the creature off of me until he scurried back into the darkness. It didn't hurt much but it did scare the hell out of me that I saw something I've never heard of in my life, not even in books. I turned around to run back to where Herobrine was only to find that he was gone, making me break into a cold sweat.

"Herobrine..?" I said as I looked around, my only response was an echoing of a zombie in the distance, and even little Athena was nowhere to be seen. I gulped down a knot in my throat and decided to walk in the direction where I thought he headed. I turned many corners, calling out his name every once in a while but stopped when I heard something very close near me, and my pace started to get faster and faster.

During what seemed to be my endless walking down a hallway, as the sudden image of all the people who helped me retraced my mind. Steve, Lukas, Jordan, Athena, they were all so brave, they did so much to protect me and look at me, I'm scared to walk around in a creepy place even though there is no sign of any danger, except that weird creature earlier and monsters I could hear in the distance. 

I signed, looking down at the ground. I missed them, I wish I could save them. I could save them, No! I would save them. They were strong enough to fend for themselves, and by saving them would mean getting Herobrines powers back, finding the Amulets of Destiny and defeating Notch. I motivated myself in my head, continued down the hallway more bravely, and walking at a faster pace. 

Amulet of Destiny, huh? I laughed at the thought to myself, I totally forgot about them because they seemed to be a figure of my imagination at this point with running wild and battling all sorts of things. Would they really stop him? and was it Herobrines plan to get them or is he just risking it all on these weapons that might have no effect on that monster? 

I didn't understand Destiny, the Amulets were supposed to kill Herobrine, but in reality, it was Notch who should be killed. Maybe I've just been lied to and I'm just been brainwashed by the bad guy and the good guys are trying to stop us. I stopped to laugh for a moment again under my breath, all this was very confusing, but maybe if we make it alive out of this, we could use the Amulets against Notch without Herobrine getting hurt in the process.
