Mumbo's POV


I peeked into the bedroom. The window was broken and glass was shattered all over the bed. I looked out the window. Xisuma was struggling to hold up a half-conscious Grian. I rushed over to help but cut my palm on some glass. I ignored the pain and helped Xisuma lift up Grian. We dragged him into the main room and onto the couch.

"Scar, you didn't manage to catch that on camera, did you?" I asked, half-joking. 

Scar pulled up his phone. "I did, actually." He played the clip for us. 

"Woah woah woah, pause!" Xisuma suddenly interrupted. Scar paused the clip, a confused expression on his face. Xisuma slowly rewinded the video. He stopped after a minute and pointed something on the screen out. It was a note, very clear to read, hanging from a kidnapper's pocket.

"We have a lead."



False's POV


"...why you don't fight an angry False!" There was laughter and a voice that spoke my name. I blinked slowly, taking a moment to realize where I was. I was in the back of a van. Did I fall asleep? 

"She's awake!" Someone whisper-shouted. I recognized that voice... Nah, probably me being tired.

I sat up slowly. At first I could barely see anything. But then my vision kicked in and I saw two people dressed in black with their masks off. The third must be driving the van.

"Um. Hi, False." One of the people said. I gasped. "You're-"



Scar's POV


I wheeled myself along as we walked. Four HermitCraft ladies missing. One to go. Stress.

"I hope she's safe." I murmur under my breath.

"Who?" Grian asked, hearing me.

"Stress. I hope they don't go for her next, but..." I sighed.

"They probably will anyways?" Grian finished my sentence. I nodded.

"We're here, boys." Xisuma called from the front of the group. We had arrived at a somewhat large shack. The door creaked open and lead underground. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"There's stairs. My worst nemesis." I said. "I can't go down there, even if I tried, I have wheels and not  legs."

Grian looked surprised. "Wow, Scar, that was actually wise." I hit him lightly on the arm. 

Xisuma sighed. "We'll have to go down the three of us. If anything happens, Scar..." He turned to face me. "Call for help. We'll be there as soon as possible. Right, guys?" 

Mumbo and Grian cheered.

I cuddled Jellie nervously. 

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'm sure nothing bad will happen." Xisuma said. I could see it in his eyes, a spark of... guilt? 

"You're lying." I muttered and ducked my head, "Something will go wrong and I might never see you or anyone else again!" I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up again. Xisuma smiled at me.

"It'll only be scary if you let it. The bad guys don't exist, they're just in your head. Call us if you need any, and I mean any, help at all with anything." Xisuma stepped back and took the first couple of steps down the tunnel. 

I was so caught up in watching Xisuma that I got scared by Grian hugging me. "Stay safe, Scar." He whispered. He and Mumbo followed Xisuma and I was left alone with Jellie. I almost didn't notice the people in black until it was too late.
