Sky's P.O.V

I'm not scared to face my past. I'm just confused about all of this. Robert left a little while ago. Seto and I are in the meeting hall.

"I'm not scared." He looks at me.

"Yes you are. You’re afraid to face him." Seto said. The life I had with Herobrine is one that I won't forget. He was a true nightmare. Seto is right. But I have too; to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else.

"I'm not afraid to face him." Seto crosses his arms and looks at me like I did something wrong. I know how pointless it is to argue with Seto. He can win arguments.

"You’re lying. Sky come on I won't think any less of you. Spit it out. I want to know." Seto said. I know that he wants to know. I'm glad that he can't read my mind or he would already know what is wrong with me. 

"He reminds me of what he did." 

"He reminds you of your childhood, doesn’t he?" Seto asks. 

"Yeah." 

"Let me get Echo. I think that she would really help right now." Seto said. He leaves. He has a point there. Echo does help. She always knows what to say to me. Seto and Echo come in. She closes the door. 

"What's wrong?" Echo asks. Seto tells her something and Seto leaves. Echo sits on the table next to me. 

"Hey." 

"Hey, Sky what's wrong? We all have been worried about you. Ever since I came back you have been different." Echo said. I have been different. I never thought that they would have notice. 

"It's that this reminds me of my life before I meant Austin." 

"Sky I know that before you meant Austin, all of the memories with Herobrine haunt you. We are always here for you. We are always going to be by you and never abandon you. If you have something that is bothering you, you can talk to us. We know that you are not able to keep this inside of you and not want to talk about it to someone. We are here for you. We are a family and we won't judge you. We don't keep secrets and we want for you to start telling us if something is hurting or bothering you. I have been noticing that you seem off and I want for you to tell me want has been bothering you." Echo said. Well that was about to take in. It is nice to know that they care about me alot. I have to tell her then. 

"I found something that has been bothering me. It was a battle plan from Herobrine. I can't figure it out. I don't know what to do. I can't focus on anything. Since you came back, my mind has been like mess with. I can't do anything anymore without second guessing or doubting myself." 

"This started once you found out that Herobrine was still alive and when I came back not myself." Echo said. I don't know why. 

"Yeah." 

"I think I know what is going on." Echo said. How about she tells me right now? 

"What is it?" She looks at me. She kneels in front of me. She puts her hand on my knees. I look at her. 

"You let Herobrine get in your head. He told me that he wanted to kill or destroy you. You’re letting him win. He got in your head and knowing that he is alive is messing with you. You are having nightmares, doubting yourself, second guessing yourself, your keeping secrets and you’re worried that something bad will happen." Echo said. She is spot on. 

"Where are you getting at?" 

"You let Herobrine get to you and now he is changing you. Am I right?" Echo asks. 

"Yea." 

"You let this get to you for so long that you seem depress to us. Sky we wanted for you to be open with us. Herobrine is in the nether. He is nowhere near us and yet you let him get in your head. You let him play with your thoughts and decisions because of what you saw that night your mom died. You love your mom right?" Echo asks. 

"Right." I don't even have to think about that question for a second. 

"When I saved you that day and you all thought I died saving you, I must have triggered something in you that made you remember that exact moment. Since I came back, since I'm the only girl in our family right now, you are thinking that something bad is going to happen to me that will involve Herobrine again. You didn't know what to do when it happen to your mom, you felt like it was your fault right?" Echo asks. 

"Yes." 

"So when I disappeared with Herobrine in the same situation, you felt like it was your fault. Am I right so far?" Echo asks. 

"Yes you are." 

"Good or else everything I'm saying I would feel like an idiot." Echo said. We both smile. 

"Your spot on. Even when you’re gone I felt like it was my fault that you disappear. Mitch was depress without you. All of us felt like we failed to protect you." 

"Well Sky I want for you to know that I can protect myself." We both laugh. 

"Yeah I guess you can." 

"If only Mitch could get that message." Echo said. 

"He is your brother." 

"I know that. Back to you. Sky it was not your fault. It was not anyone's fault. You guys didn't fail to protect me. I made the choice to protect you that day. I knew the risks. But I thought about how the world would take it if you were killed that day. We depend on you for everything. I bet that we put a lot of stress on you. You feel like you are dealing with this by yourself. Sky you’re not alone. If you have a lot of stress on you, find us and we will help you. We can take stress off of you so you are not like this anymore. I'm so glad that you care about me and what happens to me. But you need to trust me that I can take care of myself and if one day I am gone, I want for you not to feel like it's your fault. I want for you to never forget me and remember this conversation. You know why I want for you to remember this conversation?" Echo asks. No I don't. 

"No." 

"Because I won't remember most of this because I said a lot that is personal to you. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that I can't listen to you and take care of you. We take care of each other. When you started feeling depress and not telling us we felt abandon by you. We felt like you did not trust us to tell us what is going on with you. I’m not trying to make you feel like a jerk and guilty about yourself. I'm trying to fix a Sky. Others may not see it, but I see a broken guy that needs fixing." Echo said. I never thought about that. I never thought about any of that. 

"I never thought of that." 

"You need to start telling us if you’re hurting or if something is bothering you. I have kept that inside of me for weeks and I so glad that I can finally say that. We want Sky back. We all do. If you’re feeling depress or alone you need to talk to us. Any of us. We want you to be more open with us. Can you do that with us?" Echo asks. I think I can do that. 

"Yes I can." 

"Good, now how do you feel? And I want the truth." Echo asks. I feel better since that was taken off my chest. 

"Better." 

"Good. Now what are Herobrine's plans?" Echo asks. She stands up. I hand her the paper. She opens it and looks at it. She flips thought the pages. 

"I don't get it." 

"What the heck is this saying?" Echo asks. I don't know. I can't think of it right now. 

"I don't know. That's the point. It's confusing."  

"Yeah it is." Echo said.
