I know I can't keep you here forever, I also know you can't fight forever. I'll be here, I'll be waiting.

I blinked my eyes open and sat up. I rubbed my head and looked around. My bedroom? How did I get here? I looked to my right and spotted my dimond sword shining in the light. I stood and walked over to the window. It was about noon and everyone seemed worried. What's wrong with everyone? Well, at least their not getting killed. I chuckled and walked to my sword. I sheathed it and the door opened behind me. I turned around and saw Steve standing in the door way.

He looked at me with surprise and joy. "Finally!" He ran and hugged me. I winced and hugged him back. "God, the whole town has been worried sick. At first everyone thought you were dead."

I smiled. "Well, I'm not dead yet. And I plan on sticking around for a while longer. Someone's gotta protect your sorry butt."

He pulled away and smiled. "Protect my sorry butt? I'm not the one who passed out for almost two weeks."

My smile fadded. "Two weeks? I've been out for two weeks?"

"Yah, close to it. You kept muttering to yourself things like 'stop' and 'no, please no'."

I sat on my bed and put my head in my hands. Two weeks. I was out for two weeks. What kind of protector am I? I can't even go a week without passing out for a few days. This needs to stop. I'm sick of this. I have to kill Entity tonight. Or whatever these dreams have been trying to prevent will happen, and apparently, I'm doomed.

"Hero, are you ok?" Steve sat down next to me. I stared at the floor.

"Is that the only thing you can ask me?" I said smiling. "Seems like that's the only question you know how to ask."

He punched me in the arm and smiled back. "Shut up. I worry about you, bro. You started acting strange, then you pass out for two weeks. I'm sure you'd be worried if something like this happened to me."

"Nah, I'm sure you'd be fine." I said playfully. "You seem like a tuff one to crack."

He looked at me and pretended to be hurt. "So you're saying you wouldn't care if I started acting like you?"

"Well, if you acted like me, maybe you'd kill more mobs."

"Well excuse me if I don't want to run at a mass of mobs and almost get myself killed." He smiled and looked at the window. "I missed you Hero. This is the first time I've smiled in a while." He thought a moment. "Hey, why don't you go into town. I'm sure everyone would be pleased to hear you're ok." He stood and helped me to my feet.

"Hey Steve, have you found Entity yet?"

He stopped at the door. "Uhh, no sorry Hero. We've looked as far as the perimeter, we couldn't find him."

My heart sank. Well, I'm screwed.

I'd say so.

Oh, you're still here?

Sadly yes, I'm still here. So, you have tonight to find and kill Entity, how and when.

I don't know. I didn't just wake up from a freaken two week coma or anything. Why don't I just cure zombies while I'm trying to kill Entity?

.....well, look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Shut up. I followed Steve through the town. As we got closer to the center, more and more people noticed me up and walking. After about ten minutes, we made it to the mayor's office and we entered. "Sir, I have some good news." Steve said.

The Mayor was staring at some papers on his desk, he didn't look up at us. "Not now Steve. I'm busy" He mumbled.

"But sir," Steve protested.

"I said NOT NOW!" He shouted not taking his eyes off his work.

"Come on Steve, you can tell him later. Let him get back to work." Steve looked at me and sighed. We were about to walke out as the mayor spoak.

"Brine? Is that really you?"

I turned and faced him. "In the flesh."

He looked between Steve and I for awhile. "I thought you were dead!"

"Well, I'm not."

"I can see that. You finally woke up! Oh Autumn will be pleased indeed. She been training hard for the past two weeks. I think she's on the grounds, but first," He stood and walked out the door. "I think the town would like some good news for once." I smiled and we followed the mayor outside. He rang the bell twice to signal a town meeting. After a few minutes, almost the whole town was formed around the mayor. "People of our great town! I have some good news after two long weeks! One of our mighty protectors has finally awoken!" Cheers and smiles spread throughout the people. Soon they were all chanting my name. The mayor turned to me. "Hero, can you tell me what happened?" Everyone went quiet and watched me.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry Sir, but my memory is a bit blurry." I lied.

He smiled. "Very well. Meeting dismissed."

The townsfolk went back to what they were doing, with a bit more joy than before. I smiled and Steve and I went to the training grounds. "Autumn is a great swordsman. She's been working on using a bow, and I'm sure she'd be glad to show you everything she's been working on."

I rubbed my eyes and nodded. "Can't wait to see how much she's improved." As we got closer I saw John swinging his blade and hitting one of the training dummies.

Autumn was aiming her bow. I walked up behind her as she released the string. The arrow made contact with the center of the target. She sighed with a frown. "Wish Hero could see how hard I've been working."

I smiled. "Just did. Very good, Steve has tought you well while I was out."

She turned around and smiled at me. "Hero!" She ran up and hugged me, tears filling her eyes. "I-I thought you were...."

"Dead? Yah, apparently half the town thought that." I finished.

She smiled and pulled away. "Steve said I've improved alot." She said proudly.

"I can see that. What else have you been working on?" She showed me everything and learned a few more skills before dusk. Steve had helped her and John quiet a bit. "Very good, Autumn. I think it's almost time for you to be a guard. I'll talk to the mayor tomorrow, ok?"

Her eyes lit up and she nodded. "Hero, I think it's time to head home." I nodded and we left.

We walked into our house and Entity greeted us at the door. "Oh, not dead are you? Shame, I was hoping you would be by now." He formed a ball of energy and threw it at me. I was thrown across the room and into a wall. I groaned and felt light headed. "Your times up Brine, it's over."

"Not yet." I said drawing my blade.

Finally, I can take over your mind.

Not now.

Don't you see, don't you realize what's going on?

Or are you just too scared to admit it?

You, you're Entity?

That I am.

I stood and tried to kill Entity, but I felt no control. How?

Now I can control you, and theirs nothing you can do about it.

"STEVE! RUN!" I shouted. Steve looked at me struggling against Entity's force and he ran from the house.

"You're finally mine Brine. You'll kill everyone you know and love, and theirs nothing you can do about it. You lost, you were too late."

Tears filled my eyes as I slowly lost more and more control. No! This isn't over, this won't end like this. I tried to fight back and Entity smiled.

"Still fighting are we?" He raised his other hand and it started glowing. I could feel my energy slowly and painfully drain from my body as he pushed harder and harder.

I screamed in pain and fell to one knee. He's right, he won....I was too late....Everyone I know, everyone I protected....their all gonna die, and theirs nothing I can do about it. Slowly my energy left me. I still fought back and struggled with all my might.

"You know what? I have a better idea." He formed another ball of energy, this one was a darker red and glew brightly. He walked closer to me and threw it at me. "You will soon be mine, you will soon do as I please, and soon, you will die!" He teleported and left me to lay on the ground in pain. I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

You're mine now Brine.
