The Enderman's Last Hope. [A MineCraft fanfic]

Chapter 13; Unexpected Hero

        I had gone unconsious. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't do anything actually. I was going to die. The Endermen we're going to die, and my friends would be alone. 

        Right before the end, I saw a light. A bright one. "Heaven?" I thought. But it wasn't. It was glowstone! I could picture a figure swimming down. I blinked. I saw a hand reach out for me. I held my hand up, and then I woke up.

        On the shore of the lake. My sword next to me, me by a fire with a blanket wrapped around me some carpet someone put down. I looked around. I didn't see anyone. "Is there anyone here?" I asked. Still lightheaded from inhaling all of that water. I heard footsteps and I immidietly grabbed my sword, looking left and right, behind and in front of me. There was no one. I stood up, I was still shaking. But I knew I had to protect myself. "Who's there!" I shouted. Afraid that someone was going to sneak up from behind and kill me. I saw a player, a person... Walking towards me. I clenched my teeth. "Come out where I can see you!" I yelled. Just as I finished someone grabbed me from behind, I screamed. Wiggling trying to get out of the stranger's grip.

        "Izzy calm down! You'll hurt yourself!" The stranger yelled... But it wasn't a stranger. It was Antvenom! 

        "Get off me!" I yelled, breaking his grip. "What are you doing here!"

        "I saved you."

        "Bull crap."

        "I'm not lying. I was out hunting, looking for some beef. I found the lake. I saw your boots on the ground and I noticed a figure in the pool. So I jumped in after you."

        I opened my mouth to argue. But I knew he wasn't lying to me. "Thank you." I said as I looked at my feet.

        "You don't have to thank me. You would have done the same for me." Antvenom said with a smile.

        "Uhhh yeah. I would." I lied. If I had seen Antvenom drowning in a lake I'd probably get a chair and some popcorn and watch. 

        "Are you ready to get back?" He asked.

        "I guess so."

        "Lets go then." He said while putting out the fire and picking everything up.

        I followed Antvenom to the camp where everyone was. Emily ran up to me and squeezed me so tight that it could have killed me. "Can't..... Breathe...." I softly said. She then let go to reveal a tear stained face.

        "I thought you were dead! I thought Ant was dead! I- I can't believe your okay!" She said, wiping away her tears.

        "Well I'm fine, you guys don't need to worry about me. Go on to sleep." I said, leading Emily to her bed. 

        "I'm pretty tired and I need some shut-eye."

        Everyone nodded in agreement and laid down. The next morning everyone had settled down about the whole thing. We began walking again. I seriously didn't know where we were going. But, I had to keep going. 

        Ashton ran up to me. "Izzy. Can we talk about... The kiss?"

        I made a face. "W-What kiss."

        "Our kiss..."

        "No no no no, your kiss. I didn't go forward."

        "Oh... Okay." He said as he backed up to be with the others. Everyone mostly stayed in a group behind me. So they wouldn't get lost or anything.

        I looked at my feet and then at the clock that Antvenom had brought from his village. "It'll be night any minute. Make camp here, I'll go hunting."

        "You can't go alone after last time!"

        "I can and will. I'll be back soon." I said as I ran off into the woods. I found a nice sitting spot and looked down at my hands. "What is this feeling?" I asked myself. All I could picture in my mind was Ashton. The sweet little boy who helped me get through so much. Now I, I can't stop thinking about him, he's in my mind wherever I step. Wherever I go. He lingers. Should I tell him? Oh no that'd be an awful idea. He'd know I liked him then what? I'd be done for! I decided to get up and actually hunt. But he never left my mind. I killed two cows and got four beef. I then killed a pig and got two pork. I headed back to camp. 

        "I'm alive." I said as a joke. While I came over and placed the meat on top of the fire to cook. 

        "Ha ha." Natalia said sarcastically.

        "Let's not joke about death. Not while we're out here." Eliora suggested.

        "I guess your right. What happened to me is in the past though, gone form our memories our minds and our lives." I said.

        "Why don't we all tell stories?" Emily suggested.

        "Sure. Who wants to go first?" I asked.

        "I will." Destiny said. I was shocked. Destiny always seemed more, self kept. I never thought she would be the first one to volunteer themselves.

        "My parents died when I was two. I was adopted by, awful people. When I turned seven I was shunned from humanity, Some wolves found me and raised me, I recently left my tribe, then I fell in that pool of water, and Izzy found me."

        Most of us had teary eyes, I looked at her with sorrow. "That's, kinda like me. When I was five, my dad died. At five years old I was out on my own. I found my desert temple and I lived alone until Endy came to me that night."

        "Endy?" Eliora asked.

        "Oh he's my old friend back in the end. He came and asked for my help."

        "He sounds great." Natalia said. We all smiled and went to sleep. 

        When I woke up the sun was shining, I was the first awake, then suddenly, something covered my eyes.
