Chapter 17 : Preston The Furnace

~Jerome's POV~

I was the first person to wake up, so naturally, I went out hunting. It probably wasn't a good idea to go alone, but I'm sure that I could handle a few assassins if I have to.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY RAW FISH~

I did end up taking care of a few killer rabbits and some wither skellitons, but I collected about a stack of raw fish(A/N Those were my cousins ;-;). Anyway I made it back to the hole with the Pack in it... only to see that they were all asleep. Since I didn't have a furnace, I put some of the fish on Preston. He won't kill me for this, right?? Nah, I'll be fine. I flipped the fish over, careful not to wake up my barbecue. I heard a yawn that I recognized as Mitch's behind me and randomly decided to slap him with a fish, so I did.

"Ow! Hmg... what even was that?" Mitch asked, rubbing his eyes.

"A fish," I replied.

"Jerome?" Mitch asked.

"Mornin' Biggums!" I chirped.

"Morning... What smells so good?" He sniffed.

"You mean bad? This cooked fish. I know you guys won't eat it any other way so I cooked it. I still don't understand why you guys like it so much this way, it's so gross. Raw on the other hand." I licked my lips and tossed him a cooked fish. Mitch has really good reflexes in the morning, but after that.... Eh, not really. Thanks to his reflexes Mitch's hand shot up just in time to grab the cooked meat that was flying at his face with his eyes still closed and me watching. "How the heck do you do that?"

"You guys would throw things at me early in the morning so I got used to it. If it weren't for you guys being annoying I probably wouldn't be able to do that and I would be dead by now." Mitch smirked, rubbing his eyes. I laughed, remembering the time when we were 18 and an assassin tried to kill Mitch by throwing a shovel at him early in the morning. Mitch's arm flew up, caught the shovel, and tossed it back at the assassin, knocking him out. The rest of us had been awake, but Mitch was still asleep. That was the one time we didn't throw anything at Mitch in the morning. When Mitch woke up and we told him what happened, he just laughed and helped us drag the guy to Notch's castle where the assassin was arrested. When Notch asked us what happened, Lachlan said that Mitch could have knocked him out in his sleep which caused some snickers. "How did you cook this? We don't have a furnace."

I laughed and pointed at Preston. Mitch's eyes widened.

"Dude he's going to kill you!!" He laughed.

"Nah, he knows that we can't defeat Herobrine without me." I joked.

"No he doesn't. I didn't know that either!" Mitch said wide eyed.

"Oh be quiet." I rolled my eyes. How is nobody else awake yet? Oh well. I thought, removing a batch of fish from Preston's skin and putting a new one. Lucky for me, Preston was the last one to wake up so I was able to tell everyone except him about the fact that I'm using Preston as a temporary furnace. However, when Preston did wake up and felt the fish on his hoodie and face... Well... Let's just say that the room temperature rose at an unnatural speed. Once we got out of the hole we were sleeping in, and Preston calmed down, we started the Hunger Games.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY PRESTON THE LIVE FURNACE~

~Lachlan's POV~

"Mitch stop standing on my head," I chocked out.

"Shush lower life form. You are supposed to be dead!!" Mitch yelled out in a terrible British accent.

"I find that very offensive Mitchell Hughes the Cocky." A familiar voice said from next to me. In the trees, a few feet away from Mitch was Ikky Vikky with a ready bow and arrow aimed at the tree next to Mitch. We didn't get the respawn machine back up and running so instead we agreed on not kill each other and also that Vikk wasn't allowed to heal himself.

"VIKKY!! PLEASE!! I'M DEAD MEAT!! AVENGE ME!! FOR VIKKLAN!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs under Mitch's foot.

"So this was your plan huh? To lure the Hunger Games Master out with Lachlan, and then Vikk will snipe him." Mitch frowned.

"No actually this was completely unplanned." I remarked.

"Shush Lachlan, I 'stabbed' you. Remember?" Mitch whispered.

"How about no." I whispered back.

"Darude," Mitch said as I finally gave in, playing dead. Vikk released his arrow and just as he did, Mitch jumped onto the tree next to him, back flipped off of it and ponced on Vikk's arrow, stabbing it into the stick next to Vikk. Vikk hopped out of the way, spun his sword which soon connected with Mitch's sword as they tried to overpower each other. I tied a piece of red cloth around my neck loosely, our signal to the rest of the Pack that I was "dead", and watched the fight continue.

    Mitch had pushed Vikk back till Vikk had his foot against a tree. Suddenly, Vikk pushed off of the tree, surprising Mitch causing him to let his guard down and get disarmed. Vikk threw a kick which connected with Mitch's stomach, pushing Mitch to the ground. Mitch pulled out another iron sword to block a punch that was coming at his shoulder. This is a really intense battle. Then again, they're both really good fighters with a strong will to win. I thought. A piece of string wrapped around Vikk's ankle, tripping him. Grunting, Vikk summoned a vine to whip Mitch's back, causing Mitch to fall over. Taking the moment to catch their breathes, Mitch and Vikk stared at each other menacingly, panting hard. Once they had regenerated their health, they were back on their feet in sword to sword combat against each other.

"This may take a while, won't it." A bacca next to me said. I turned my head swiftly to see Jerome with a red cloth around his neck. "Vikk got me. You?"

"Mitch." I shrugged. "They're both really skilled, who do you think will win?"

"ME!!" A winged man shouted, cornering Vikk against a tree with his razor sharp wings and nailing Mitch's jacket to another tree with an arrow. Growling lowly, Vikk and Mitch both tied their red cloths around their necks. Jerome and I giggled as Vikk and Mitch sat next to us smiling. "Now where's that lava mob at?"

"Oh! Well we can't miss a battle of Poofless can we?!" Mitch yelped, pulling up Jerome and grabbing my arm.

"Vikk help meh pls." I whined, being dragged away by an eager Mitch. Suddenly, Mitch yelped, causing me to turn and look. "Hmm? AHH!!"

"What's going on??" Jerome yelled.
