Chapter 3

As I followed the girl who looked as if she was running as fast as she could (it was like jogging to me) I followed at a more leisure pace but still keeping at least 5 or 6 blocks in between us, finally we reached a medium sized town with obsidian walls 'it must of taken a fair amount of obsidian to build that' I thought staring at them, while I wasn't paying attention the woman had gone inside the gates and was now coming back out with 5 or so guards behind her.

As I crept closer I heard her saying "-wood I turned to put some in my pack and I saw them" she shudders "saw what?" a guard asks "White emotionless eyes" she says the guards gasp "you saw Herobrine and survived?!" the guards say "yes I believe so but he looked different..." "how so?".

"He was more limber and longer hair than the paintings we have of him" "Huh?" says one guard "to say it simply he looked more like a she but I didn't see much of him, only a glance before I ran" "we better get looking then. Right boys?" said the guard who seemed to be in charge, "right sir!".

I slipped back into the forest not wanting to fight anyone as I made my way back to where the woman ran from me; I know why now, I picked up the axe she had dropped and swung it a bit to get into the feel, 'this will have to do for a weapon till I make a sword'  I heard branches snapping from the way I just came I didn't stop to look I just ran and I heard the rustling and branches snapping get louder and louder the faster I ran.

I came across a clearing with a pool of water in it as I passed it I saw my reflection I had my hunting boots and pants on with a blue shirt, as per usual with my brown hair and my eyes were normally blue but now they are a glowing emotionless white. I started to cry and sank to my knees, for my home, my life, and my family and friends who will not accept me.

The guards who had been so loud before were quieter than they had been seconds before, I turned and saw them hiding in the brush it was quite useless because their armour, swords and other things were easy to spot, I was in full sunlight and one of the guards exclaimed "y-you are a girl?" the others shushed him but I replied "what will you do now?" "kill you before you destroy our town" and then they rushed me.

I grabbed the girl's axe from my belt and held it at the ready, the guards circled me and then one struck I gave him a flying kick that broke the circle and sent the guard flying into a tree, out cold, I was surprised and so were the guards. 'I need to get rid of them by either killing them which I don't want to do or knocking them out cold either way I'll escape' I swung the axe at the closest guard and chopped right through his helmet and into his head killing him instantly, I was stunned so were the other 4 guards who were still able to fight, while they were stunned I grabbed the sword of dead guard and ran at the next closest guard and shoved the sword through his iron armour and into his chest I had aimed at his heart but I hit about 5 or 6 centimeters from it, that's basically how the whole fight went I killed them all and succeed with minor injuries which were from running between the oaks.

I relived a guard of his sword before continuing through the supposed haunted woods 'haunted with what? Maybe a brine' I headed north away from the village and the guards I had killed, I felt their pain, and their loss but I had had to. I looked up through the trees which I could see the Sky which was dark orange it was getting dark I decided to keep going to reach another village, hopefully not a capitol of a kingdom either way I had to get something to hide my eyes.

By the time I reached the edge of the woods the moon started to rise, it got easier to see the darker it got, I turned gave a halfhearted wave at the woods and continued north. To who knows where.
