Eyes that Shine | Eyes that Glow Sequel (COMPLETED)

Le Chapter Seven

The path back to the portal is easy to follow as you had marked it with a few torches here and there. Getting to the portal was the easy part, but getting in was going to be much more difficult. There were piglins outside your portal, just waiting for you to come. You slowly approach them, your sword and shield ready. They all rush at you, squealing and whining. THe piglins hit you multiple times, knocking your health down a few hearts. You manage to kill one of the four there, but the other three were relentless. A piglin beast suddenly emerges from the shadows and rushes at you.

A figure appears, moving quickly, in the corner of your eye. The figure jumps out and strikes the beast, wielding a dark netherrite sword. You recognize the blue shirt and jeans, but there was no white shining from the eyes. The three piglins approach you again. You ignore Steve for now in order to kill the piglings. One, you manage to lead to the edge of the lava and push in. The other two you manage to just kill with your sword. They died and you took the chance to catch your breath and eat some food.

The piglin beast whines as it dies and Steve stands there, breathing heavily. He slowly turns to you.

"Hey, darlin'," He says, a grin on his face.

"Piss off," You say, walking towards the portal.

"Y/N," He grabs your arm, but you pull it away.

"You were already in my dream, can you just leave me alone?" Steve grabs your shoulders and shoves you against the portal, staring down at you.

"Whether you like it or not, Y/N, I will be getting what I want and you can't stop me," He growls.

"What do you want? What is it?"

"You don't know?" You furrow your brows, confused, in response. "Oh," he laughs loudly, "you better tell Hero before I do... He's not gonna like it when I tell him," Steve drops his arms, but stays standing over you.

"Tell him what?"

"You'll see..." You roll your eyes.

"Whatever," You make a fist and thrust it into Steve's gut. He groans and keels over, clutching his stomach.

"You fucking bitch," He growls. You ignore him and jump into the portal.

That night you got barely any sleep. Any noise you heard woke you up; you were on edge from the moment the sun set to when it rose. Your stomach churned like butter with anxiety. The morning was worse, though.

A sharp pain shoots through your stomach. You can feel what you ate last coming back up despite your efforts to keep it down. You jump out of your bed and throw the front door open, throwing up into the dirt. You wipe your mouth and sweaty brow, trying to catch your breath. You cover the vomit with some dirt, then close your door.

Inside, you sit on the edge of your bed, trying to control your stomach. That was really weird, throwing up like that. You check in your chest for some food that hopefully wouldn't upset your stomach. In the chest there is a full set of netherrite armour. What the hell?

"He's so annoying, isn't he," A sickeningly familiar voice says behind you. You slowly turn around, maintaining a straight face. Steve sits, perched on top of your furnace.

"As if you're any different," You say, standing up from the bed. You take a few steps to the door and open it, "You can leave,"

Steve scoffs, "What happened to hospitality?"

"That doesn't apply to assholes, Steve. How'd you even get here, aren't you supposed to be stuck in the Nether?"

"Well, yeah, but you..." Steve draws out the you as he hops off your furnace and strolls towards you, "darling," he gently places a finger on your chest, a grin gleaming down at you, "opened up a portal for me,"

"Well..." You're unsure of what to say. You really did yourself dirty like that. Maybe you should have just stayed home like Hero said. "That still doesn't mean I want to see you ever again," You push him away by his chest and walk past him, blocking him from your chest and bed. He turns, following you with his eyes.

"I just want to help you, Y/N," He smiles innocently.

"Help me, my ass. You literally tried to kill me,"

"But that's in the past," He takes a step towards you. "I can help you defeat the Ender Dragon,"

"How many times do I have to say it? I don't need any help! Especially not from you of all people,"

"You're going to need my help if you want to get anywhere in that fight. You're going to die out there, and your baby will, too,"

"My what?" You shake off whatever it is Steve just said, "Whatever, so what if I do? At least I wouldn't be there with you," You now notice how close you'd gotten to Steve, yelling in his face. Steve grabs you and pushes you against the wall.

"You need to listen to me--" You punch Steve in the face, knocking him back.

"I need to do whatever the fuck I want," You respond. Steve reaches a hand to his face for a moment, then pulls away, revealing blood on his fingers. He slowly raises his eyes to you, anger in his eyes. He rushes towards you, throwing one fist. You duck and dodge it. Steve falls forward from his momentum, and you pushing him over. He falls face first into your chest. You take the chance to run, right out the open front door.

"You bitch, get back here!" Steve yells at you from the open door. You just keep running.

Time to find some Ender pearls.
