Chapter 40
Multiple times during the night, Ann is woken by nightmares. Every time she jerks awake, Mitch wraps his arms around her and pulls the girl close, helping her fall asleep again.
In the morning, everyone except Adam sits in the dining hall. Their food only gets a few bites before it's ignored completely. Notch left again that morning, investigating the other kingdoms and getting the villagers that left back to their homes. Adam is rarely seen, preferring to stay in his room since Julie's death.
Suddenly, the doors to the dining hall creak open. Every head spins around to see Herobrine's old Enderman, Camryn, hobbling in. One of her legs is bent at an unnatural angle and her head twitches abnormally every few seconds. She appears to have gotten seriously injured in battle but managed to survive long enough to find the demons.
"Traitors," she gurgles.
"What are you doing here, Camryn?" Justina demands.
"You betrayed your family, your master!" the Enderman snarls. She points to all of the demons before pointing to Ty and Justina. "You betrayed your bloodline! Don't trust the demons! I told him not to! Now that he's gone, I must finish what he started! The traitors must die!"
An obsidian sword materializes in her hands and she lunges at Justina, who manages to jump backwards just in time.
"Traitors to the bloodline! You betrayed me! You betrayed our kin!" Camryn continues to gurgle. Both Ty and Justina take off into the air while Ian, Libby, and Mitch grab their bows and arrows.
"Arrows are no match for me!" the Enderman laughs.
"I know," Mitch grins. Ann grabs her sword from the wall as Mitch fires an arrow at Camryn. She teleports right into the demon girl and she slashes her with her sword. Camryn shrieks and teleports away again.
Another sword materializes in Camryn's other hand as she teleports next to Justina and Ty, startling them. She slashes both of them, causing them to fall from the sky. Quintana clenches her jaw and shoots a beam of white magic from her palms. It catches the Enders in the air and heals their wounds, their wings strengthening. They stare at her in shock and she looks just as surprised, but Libby's the first one to snap out of the dazed trance.
"Get out and never come back!" she yells at the Enderman. She charges Camryn, who laughs evilly and disarms her.
"You're out of practice and now, you're out of time."
She stabs Libby through the side and Ian yells, firing an arrow straight through Camryn's skull. The Enderman disintegrates before their eyes, and everyone stares at him in shock.
He's the first one in all of Vendaviel to shoot an Enderman. But that's not their biggest problem right now.
"Get her to the hospital ward. Now!" Quintana yells. Everyone rushes to the spare room that they set up as a hospital and Quintana starts grabbing potions.
"Everyone, get out while I'm working!" the Mudkip exclaims. All the demons and angels scuttle out and Ty slams the door.
"Holy crap, how did Quin do that?!" he exclaims.
"I don't know, I just hope that Libby's okay..." Ian mumbles. His face is filled with worry, and he can't help but feel like Libby didn't get as lucky as he wants to believe she did.
