Chapter 4

Alex's POV

We finished building everything, but tension still ran high.

Everybody was whispering to each other, scared, terrified, freaked out...

Wait, all of those mean the same thing.

"I wonder who was behind that attack," Kyle said. "I don't think it was her."

"Maybe she's working for somebody else," Sheila suggested. "I mean, that's the most obvious thing."

"We shouldn't worry too much," Razer said. "We've faced evil before."

Rain nodded with agreement. "If we're terrified, we might show weakness." He said.

"Don't worry," Moon said. "We have some very effective leaders here."

"Hey! My dad's a great leader too!" Sheila protested.

"Never said he wasn't," Moon replied. "But I'm just trying to reassure you guys, but nooooo. I guess you don't want me to do so. So I'll stop."

"Oh, wow, you're expressing yourself," Sheila said, nodding. "Could use some work."

"S-shut up!" Moon snapped, and pretty soon, the two of them were jabbing at each other's throats.

"Girls," I said, rolling my eyes. "You're all into drama."

"And I took that personally," Meeps said, as she walked off.

"Ha!" Andrew laughed.

"Siblings," I said to myself, smiling.

"Hey, Kyle!" Razer called. "Do you want to come with us?"

Kyle grinned. "Okay," he said. "I'll go."

As the four of them left, I tried to remember the last time I'd seen Kyle smile like that.

Not ever since we went back to the kingdom.

Sheila and Moon were still arguing, causing me to shake my head annoyance.

"Girls, girls!" I snapped. "Cut it out!"

The two of them weren't listening, much to my annoyance.

"Stop fighting!" I said. "Behave yourselves! Goodness! You're making me sound like a mature person right now!"

At that moment, Rain screamed.

We all turned around, shocked, to see that his red eye was now an Ender eye. 

Rain looked around, breathing heavily.

And there was a new expression on his face, one that I've never seen before.

Fear.

"Rain?" Moon asked. "Rain! What's wrong?"

Rain shook his head, his face full of sadness and terror.

"No..." he whispered, his voice trembling. "No, it... it can't be..."
