Sorrow(A Hermitcraft Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

I switched to first person because I felt it was a better fit for this story. Do you prefer it in third person or first?

Grian's P.O.V.

I was very confused.

X had asked Mumbo to talk to him, and then he came rushing back into the room fussing over me.

What did X say that caused him to feel the need to do that?

Oh.

The whole Herobrine situation.

Right.

That would probably make me pretty worried if I was in his position.

He looked surprisingly cute when he was worried.

No, he couldn't think about him like that.

After all, he was worthless.

No one cared.

Mumbo was only pretending to care.

If they cared, why would they betray him like that?

Mumbo P.O.V

I saw the expression on Grian's face change.

Was he alright?

Why was he making that face?

Was something wrong?

"Grian, you alright?"

I didn't care that my voice was shaking with worry.

I just needed Grian to be alright.

"I-I'm fine Mumbo"

He was lying.

I could tell.

"I know you're lying Grian, and I only want to help. What's wrong?"

"I-I... W-Why do you act like you c-care? You're only p-pretending. H-Herobrine just made me b-believe that you cared. I-If you really c-cared, you w-would've believed me. It's not l-like Herobrine hasn't r-ruined my friendships before... I-I don't even care that you h-hate me, since I hate myself a-anyway."

Grian then started to sob.

Grian P.O.V.

Oh gosh.

I was breaking down.

It was all too much.

Everything...

Why!?

Why him?

Why not someone who could've handled it better?

Why was Fate so cruel?

D-Because she is a creator.

A-Are you saying all creators are cruel!?

D-Even if they don't know that the characters they write about exist, they still torture them for entertainment.

A-...I guess your right.

Why couldn't anything just go right?

Why?

Oh why!?

Everything was crumbling down, and all my problems were just stumbling out of my mouth.

The Evolutionist's deaths, the betrayal, Herobrine...

I bet he had heard a brief explanation from X, but he probably didn't get many details.

After all, he seemed pretty shocked.

My tears started to slow.

Mumbo P.O.V.

Oh my word.

I had heard a brief explanation from X, but all this detail hurt just to hear about.

I couldn't imagine actually experiencing this stuff.

But Grian did.

I could only imagine what he was feeling right now.

His tears started to slow down.

"S-Sor-ry a-about th-hat..."

He was stuttering a lot.

"Grian, you don't need to be sorry."

His eyes widened in surprise.

"W-what d-do you me-ean?"

He asked, clearly scared.

"I still care."

X's P.O.V

What a sweet moment.

I knew that Mumbo would be able to protect Grian.

I quietly slipped away.

Everything seemed normal.

Well, as normal as possible.

So why did I feel like something was missing?

Hi!

Well, this chapter was actually fairly easy! It took me around 45 minutes, but the writer's block I've had when writing this story for the last few chapters.

Hopefully, I will update more but we'll see.

I also think that I'm probably going to rewrite Sorrow once it's done because my writing has made a drastic change.

Bye!
