il's POV

I gasped, shooting up into a sitting position.

I...I'm alive?

I looked around and realized I was in my bedroom.

I rubbed my side where I got shot (AURA DON'T BLAME YOURSELF).

Nothing was there....

How...did I get here?

Did Becca send me back?

Wait....

I grabbed my phone and pulled up Wattpad, going to Becca's DRM...Finale book.

The last chapter was...36.5?

I read through chapter 36 first, pausing at Becca's paragraph near the beginning.

My soul felt betrayed?  The heck?

Oh...sending me back would bring me to life.

...

Rebecca felt...lonely?

Hum dee dum....

Oh, Rebecca wants friends?  If I were still there, I'd be her friend....

;-;

36.5....

Oh, .5 because it looks to be shorter than usual....

Doo doo doo....  Rebecca friend, pigmen back....

Wait, spark?

...

Fricking HEROBRINE?!

So my...err...sacrifice?  Sure, sacrifice.  It was for naught?!

Wait...what did he do to spark...?

Becca's POV

How...that...that isn't possible!

"Actually, it is.  As you can see before you."  Herobrine said as he spread his arms out.

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH SPARK?!"  Aura yelled.

Herobrine laughed.  "Dear Aura, can't you tell...?  WE ARE SPARK."

"Dafuq?"  Cassia said.

Language....  I muttered instinctively.  What the fudge do you mean?

"Well, little sparky here felt alone, forgotten, as always~.  She, unlike the others, didn't resist me taking over her.  In fact, she welcomed it!  So...I threw a little piece of myself into her in case I died."

Oh my God, what are you, Voldemort?

He shrugged.  "Sure?  But, ya know, that's not the point.  Now that I know how to get rid of your friends...."

I shot up and lit my hands with dark purple magic.  YOU WOULDN'T DARE.  We all growled at once.

We being me, Becky, and Rebekitah.

My friends all tensed at my strange tone of voice.

"Oh, so little Becca has some fight in her?"  Herobrine taunted.

I bared my teeth at him but remained where I was.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed some yellow sparks stealthily floating towards the pigmen.

Herobrine's wolf ears twitched and he whirled around, shooting something black at Known.

Known screamed as the blackness engulfed her, though it seemed to settle on her skin like a black silhouette.  She fell to the ground, curled in a ball.

"Does anyone else wish to try to fight back?"  Herobrine asked.

No one said anything.

Herobrine scoffed and turned to me before walking towards me at a slow pace.

I matched his pace going backwards, keeping my hands lit.

"Tell me, Becca, how does it feel to know that, with a single thought, I can destroy all of your friends and then erase them from existence?"

Not very good.  Besides, YOU can't erase them from existence.

"True, but I know how to."

...By...killing all your friends with one of them and then....

...Throwing you out that door.

No....

"Yes!  You know, when you said the soul doesn't want to return to the world it was killed in, that doesn't necessarily mean that the soul is no longer in the world.  It just doesn't want to take form in it again.  It waits to be made alive somewhere else.  And do you know what happens when a world with a soul in it is erased from existence?"

...

"IT becomes erased, as well."

I wonder if he knows how to....

But you cannot erase it.  You are a creation of my imagination.

"A creation that YOU made too strong, too willful, to control."

Becca, watch your step....

My foot didn't hit the table as I took another step back.  It hit air.

Thanks to Becky's warning, however, I managed to keep upright by floating.  I still moved back at the same pace.

Herobrine did the same, as well.

"Admit it, Becca, you're weak against me.  And it's your own fault that you are weak."

Guys...do you have any ideas...?

N-No.  I have no clue what to do.

I don't either.

I growled under my breath and shot my magics as Herobrine, shooting upward suddenly.

Herobrine fell back, the dark purple magic clinging to his skin and burning him like acid.

He yelled out and got the magics off before coming after me.

I yelped, doing a duck-and-roll midair to avoid him.

An arrow whizzed past me, as well.

I grit my teeth and shot my magics at Evject, missing her but hitting her bowstring barely.

The string snapped and the bow flung Evject in the face.

Evject cried out as she dropped the bow.  She growled and pulled out daggers, throwing them.

Wait, she had daggers?!

I took a hard left, nearly running into the wall.  The dagger stuck into the wall a few inches from my face.

I yelped in surprise and kicked off the wall, lighting my hands to throw the magics again.

A dagger then embedded itself into my upper leg.

I cried out in pain, my whole body focused on the pain.

And not focused on floating.  So...I fell.

"BECCA!"  Cassia yelled before punching the nearest pigman in the face to try to get to me.

However, the pigmen proceeded to shove swords at her, making her have to back off.

I hit the ground hard, knocking the breath out of me.

Oh God...with this kind of pain, I can't focus....

I swiftly pulled the dagger out, throwing it away.

Herobrine landed near me and laughed evilly.  "A single dagger can take you out?  Like I said, weak, not to mention helpless.  Some "powerful" author you are."

I shook my head, pulling myself up on the edge of the table.

Huh.  At least I landed near it....

At least I...don't abuse the...power I'm given....

Herobrine grinned and grabbed me, picking me up and throwing me across the room.

"NO!  STOP IT!!"  Aura cried.

I hit the wall and fell down, coughing and trying to breathe.

"At least I'm not passive about the powers I have.  I use them, unlike you.  So technically, you're abusing your powers by neglecting them."

That...doesn't even make...sense....

Herobrine teleported next to me and grabbed me by the neck, lifting me off the ground.

I kicked at him but immediately stopped when the pain in my leg reminded me that I was still pretty injured.

"This is actually quite fun.  spark seems to be enjoying it, too~"

sp-spark...pl-please....

Herobrine laughed and threw me across the room.  I hit the wall next to the kitchen door and slid down into a sitting position, gasping.

I was helpless.  Injured.  Powerless.

I did something that I knew would not have any effect.  However, I was desperate.

HELP!!!

???'s POV

HELP!!!

"Did...Did you guys here that?"

"Was that...Becca?"

"It sounds like she's in trouble!"

"We have to help her!"

"But what's going on?"

"...Herobrine has crossed the boundaries of Becca's imagination.  She can't control him."

"Wait, you're saying that...."

"...There's a...for lack of a better term, "glitch" in the system."

"And what do people do when there are glitches?"

"Heh heh...we get rid of 'em!"

"But how?"

"Simple, really.  We combine our strengths and destroy him."

"We...We can't."

"What?!  Why not?!"

"Have you not noticed?  He's possessed the body of another.  That other happens to be one of Becca's friends."

"So...what now, then?  We have to help her, or else she'll lose all her friends."

"Yet...if we help her, we'll end up disappearing and she'll probably lose that possessed friend, too.  We disappear either way, really."

"So our choices are don't help her and disappear or do help her and disappear."

"I think we should be proactive about this.  Let's help her."

"I second that!"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely!"

"Heh...Herobrine won't know what hit him."
