Chapter 17 - Prisoner
~You're Pov~
It was cold...
All I felt was cold...
I tried to lift my eyelids, but I was to weak.
I could hear the murmurers of voices, but It wasn't loud enough to know what they were saying.
All I did was wait. All I COULD do was wait. I didn't what else to do.
"Where am I? Why is my head pounding? Why is it so cold?" I asked myself over and over again until I found the strength to open my eyes.
I groaned in agony as I lifted my body off the hard, cold ground. I put my hand to the back of my head, rubbing it to get rid of the pain.
I looked around the stone covered room, wondering where the hell I was. I slowly turned my body around so I would not hurt my aching bones, and I suddenly realized I was in a cell.
Iron bars was the only light that escaped into my chamber, everything was gray, and there was no sign of any other colors, but there was something I didn't notice right away.
It was a man. He had a green jacket on, and messy brown hair. He didn't notice I was awake, He stood at my door with a sword in a fighting position, and stood his guard.
"Where am I?" I asked the guard as I slowly stood up. I looked at him, waiting for response that never came.
"P-please." I asked again, I slowly edged my way to the prison bars so I could get close as I could to the guard. "Why am I here?"
The guard stood quietly for moment, until finally speaking. "I do not speak to prisoner's"
Prisoner? What did I do? I thought to myself.
"But, I didn't do anything, I was just getting something to-"
"YOU were associating with a demon" He interrupted, still not looking at me.
"Herobrine...?" I whispered to myself. "Where is he!?"
"Why do you CARE?" he retorted.
I began to think for a moment. I need to get these people on my side. They know i'm with Herobrine, so what if I thought he was bad as well?
"Psh, I DON'T care. H-hes evil." I said in a the most serious tone i could find.
half of that is true, he is a JERK. I thought as I waited for him to respond.
For this first time, the guard turned his face to look at me. His brown eyes looked deeply into my eyes, looking at me as if he knew what I meant.
"I know." He turned away again. "he stabbed my brother, and nearly killed him. He's lucky we got here quickly or else he would have died, and if he did, I would have got my revenge"
Herobrine almost killed his brother? I thought again Well, I guess its not surprising, he does kill a lot of people, but no one knows whats its like to be him besides me. he's been stuck under a rock his whole life with no help to get up. he just protecting himself.
"Why were you with him anyway?" he asked.
"Uh." I thought for a moment. "I was his prisoner, so... It really helps that i'm in another prison."
That isn't a lie either, I thought to myself again.
"Oh." he said, turning his body fully around. "I'm Lucas."
"(Your Name)" I said, giving a small smile. "Do, you think you could let me out?"
"No-" He immediately said, in a quick, panic tone, "I-I mean, I cant, Notch is my boss, and rules MINECRAFT! Would you know what would happen to me if I betrayed him?"
"I understand." I said right away after he finished his sentence.
"You do?" He asked. "Many prisoners have asked me to let them out, but none said they 'Under stood'."
I turned around and sat against the cold, stone wall, and began to go deep into my thoughts.
What am I gonna do? How will i escape? Will they kill me? Oh my gosh, this is my fault isn't it? Is Herobrine here? did they capture him too? If hes here, would they kill him?
"Uh, you okay?" Lucas asked, looking at me nervously.
"Yea." I said, lifting my knees up so I could wrap my arms around them to keep me warm. "I'm fine."
Lucas stood there for a moment, until chuckling. "Its weird talking to prisoners. They always are like, "Ahh when I ever I get out of this prison I will kill you!" and threatening as much as they could to let them out, but you- you're so, chill. Why is that?"
"There's nothing I can do."I sat there for a moment, listening to nothing. "I've already been experiencing Herobrine's prison, I know the up's and down's. I cant hide,he'll find me. I cant run, or escape, he'll just catch me. I just have to let fate handle me. And I trust it."
There was an awkward silence, before he finally mumbled and spoke something.
"Wow." He said "Never knew that's how it felt."
We were silent for a few minutes, thinking about what would happen to me and Herobrine, if he was really here.Until Lucas broke into my thoughts.
"You look very pale, are you alright?" He asked
Pale? what does he mean? "H-How long was I asleep?"
"About a couple days."
A COUPLE DAYS? I thought to myself. It didn't occur to me that I was STARVING until he mentioned that.
My stomach growled loudly in the empty prison. I looked up at Lucas, hoping he'd realize I was hungry, and get me food.
"I-I cant."He frowned at me, and looked away to avoid eye contact. "Notch told me to not give you any food until he knows who you are. He wants to make sure you're not evil like Herobrine."
I frowned even more. I need this guy to trust me, I need answers, but I also need food.
My stomach growled louder this time, I looked at Lucas again hopefully. "Please, i'm starving." I asked again.
"But, if Notch finds out, he might get angry at me. I could go ask him-"
"He doesn't need to know, just sneak it." I tried to think of something to encourage him to get food. "If you're my friend."
He looked at me for a moment. "F-friend? That easily? Even though we just met? Your still willing to be my friend?" He processed this for a moment. "Fine, i'll be right back."
I sighed in relief as I waited for food to come, thinking about Herobrine once again. He came back a few minutes later with some bread and steak.
He gave me the steak and he ate some of the bread. He stood his guard once again,looking at the door every couple minutes. He's probably afraid of Notch coming in the chamber and seeing him associating with one of the prisoners AND eating his food.
One I swallowed the last piece, feeling my strength come back threw my body, I looked up at him. He was still eating his bread and look at the entrance nervously.
"Why are you so hungry?" I asked. Since he's a guard, would they get breaks and get food?
"Um." he said with a mouth of food, taking a moment to swallow it . "I'm kinda being punished at the moment, so I do not get break hours."
Punished? What did he mean by Punished? "How?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I attacked Herobrine after he stabbed my brother, we were not suppose to attack him, we were trying to knock him out." After a few moments, he looked at me and chuckled. "Why am I telling you this?" He asked.
"Because, you're better then Notch." I said, standing up and walking to him, staring into his eyes the whole time. "Notch is the bad guy, if he's such a king, why would he punish you? You were just looking after your brother."
He looked at me with those innocent eyes, wondering. "I guess your right, but Notch is still my king. I do what he tells me to do."
"Lucas, I know he's you're king. Please, just trust me, Notch is the bad guy, Herobrine isn't! He's trying to trick you and destroy Herobrine because he doesn't want Herobrine to tell the truth about him!"
It all made sense now. I hadn't realize until I screamed it out loud. Theirs only two people in this world that knows what Notch as done. So if he knew I was with Herobrine, and was trying to kill him for that particular reason... He'd do it to me too.
Lucas's eyes were wide open in disbelief. "I cant believe you'd day that,Herobrine ALMOST KILLED MY BROTHER! YOU CALLED HIM EVIL TOO!" He banged on my prison door.
"Lucas, you don't understand. Notch is going to kill me! Please you have to get me out of here. Herobrine isn't what he seems to be. If you are really my friend, you just have to trust me. Herobrine isn't a monster, hes just defending himself!"
Lucas thought about this for a moment. "He did give an odd expression when he stabbed my brother. Maybe he was sorry..." He looked up into my eyes. "But, do you think Notch will actually kill you? I don't think Notch kills prisoner's."
"Please Lucas," I said again. "You gotta get me out of here. You can come too, I can explain it on the way, we just gotta get out here and help Hero!" Hero? that was new.
"But what if Notch finds out? He will literally put me in the prison with the rest of you guys!" He said panicking.
"You just gotta trust me." I said putting my hands on the cell bars.
"I-I trust you." He said, wiggling the rough door open before it creaked open.
I quickly ran out the door, giving him a hug of relief. "Thank you Thank you Thank you! I promise life will be better out side the castle grounds."
he awkwardly stood there, before patting me on the back with one hand, not knowing what to do."Yea, but were not leaving forever right? Were coming back as soon as... Whatever you have to do." He asked. "I cant leave my family, or my brother..."
"Of course." I said lifting my body away from him. "First thing I need to know in order to get out of here ... Where is Herobrine?"
"Oh, I know!" He pointed to the entrance. "He's with Notch."
DON DON DONNN. Hope you guys enjoyed! I worked hard on this to make it longer then usual.If you guys didn't know, I TRY to post a chapter every month, or whenever I can. But i'm kinda late so I tried to make it longer. Sorry to keep you waiting!
