Chapter 3- Why?


    
       Phil walked in and slowly sat down in a chair. Techno sat across from him, stilling looking absolutely furious. Wilbur laid Tommy down on the bed, but he sat up and leaned against the wall. Wilbur joined them at the table as Tommy just held his wounded, wincing in pain.
     "Ow..." He muttered. Phil's shaking had gone down a little, but the anxiety didn't. What were they gonna do? He shifted and fiddled with his robe under the table. His breathing quickening as his mind wirrled.
     "So Phil." Wilbur started. He snapped his gaze up, eyes fearful. "What happened back there?" Techno just scowled. He sighed, he often had nightmares about the event and sometimes flashbacks. But never that bad. Phil whimpered and held his head down, clutching his hat.

      "It's a long story..." He said quietly, he wasn't too keen on talking about it. Wilbur had a slightly softer look than Techno, but he still looked rather pissed.
     "Oh, we have time." Techno muttered. Phil raised his head, quickly wiping the tears. He looked around nervously, as if something was about to attack him. Wilbur went to say something before he quickly interrupted.

      "Okay, if you insist. so..."

     "There was this one time in my travels, I was mining down to insta mine and get some resources. I had fallen into a cave, which would not have been a big deal. I can kill mobs easily. But, lots of dangerous monsters were there.

     A creeper had blown up near me knocking some of my health out. Soon, a...."

     Phil stopped, his eyes glazing over. He blinked, snapping himself back. Their concern seemed to grow, but he gave them a reassuring grin. "Sorry." He said akwardly.

     "Anyways, it had enchanted golden armor and was a baby. It was very fast, but I had manage to hit it with a sword. The monster was set aflame, but it also caught me on fire in the fight."

     He could still remember the burning of his skin as he fought, adrenaline coursing through his veins. His heart pounding and the mobs closing in.

     "I quickly ran away, trying to regain my health which had started to get scarily low. Since I was wearing an elytra and not my chest plate. A spider soon met me who hit me back, the zombie hitting me once again. The spider almost striked again but I manage to down an enchanted golden apple. My health was quickly regained as I killed the spider. I still fought tooth and nail against that baby zombie, almost dying again. But I managed to escape, and I never came back."

     Phil finished. He sighed and hung his head.
     "So, how does this correlate to what happened." Techno asked, his features softened a little.
     "I just got panicked by the amount of people and my mind mistaked them for zombies. Which then one thing led to another, and I was back in a cave, fighting against the baby zombie." Wilbur nodded as Techno just leaned back into his chair. He felt slightly relived to talk about it. Even if he had an entire conversation with his cat Pog.
     "Couldn't you just respawn though?" Tommy called from behind them. Phil shook his head,
     "I wasn't near a single home crystal throughout my years. Mobs are way more aggressive." Tommy let out an oo, before going silent. He had almost died multiple times, but it wasn't as dangerous as that moment. Sometimes he still had nightmares or flashbacks. It really messed him up, that's for sure.
     "I think I understand..." Techno said as he stood up. "I guess we should have took you out of the crowd, sorry." Techno muttered. Phil smiled,
     "It's okay, sorry about stabbing you Tommy."
     "It's alright big P, though I would feel better if you gave me-"
     "No." Phil stated, he already knew what he was gonna ask for.
     "Come on! I want some wings!" Tommy whinned as he slumped down. he chuckled,
     "That's my final answer." Tommy grumbled and turned his head away. Wilbur laughed as Techno just smiled. So, luckily he hadn't lost his only friends, if they were even friends. Phil thought so. But he may soon, he had to go back to Endlantis, something was compelling him to. Phil stood up and ajusted his hat. They all looked at him with curiosity.
     "I need to go back, to Endlantis." Phil stated, his heart ached as he said those words. Wilburs face fell as Techno looked mildly disappointed.
     "What? I thought we became buds!" Tommy complained. "We even had a bonding moment!" He smiled and shrugged.
     "I just have to,"
      "Why though? Aren't we friends now?" Wilbur asked sadly, seeming greatly heart broken. How did he even get attached so quickly.
     "Sorry." Phil began to walk towards the door. His heart was screaming at him to stay, but his mind and curiosity begged him to go. Having been stuck wandering and exploring, it had become something he enjoyed to do. A purpose.
      "Wait." Techno stood up, his face serious. "I know we haven't known each other long, I mean, it's been almost one day. But, I have a suggestion." Techno explained. Phil looked at him with confusion. "How about, we go with you. Or just me." His eyes widened. What was this guys thinking? He barely knew him!
     "I'm down, I just feel like we should stay together." Wilbur said, also standing up.
     "That's great and all, but I'm still wounded!" Tommy exclaimed point to his wound. Techno hummed, placing a hand on his chin in thought.
      "I'll have Wilbur carry you." Techno stated,
      "What?!" Wilbur shouted, he just shrugged. "Ugh, fine. But you owe me one." He pointed a finger at him. Phil looked at them with concern, were they crazy?
     "You know if you die, there's no coming back. Right?" Phil said, raising his eyebrows. They all nodded. He sighed, rubbing his temple. "Fine. But please don't do anything stupid."
     "We won't, don't worry dad.." Techno mumbled. Phil gave him a weird look, why the hell did he call him dad?
