HEROBRINE RETURN§

"Die!" As the witch raised a knife.

Swooosh!.....Thing...

"An arrow? Argh!" The witch whipped around.

"Hurry! I think I found him!"

"What are you doing? Get 'em!" The witch  commanded, "Kill everyone of 'em let- argh!" As Jerald kicked the witch from nowhere.

"Hurry! Get Nick out of here!  More mobs are coming!" Jerald turned back to the witch, "I didn't expect to see you here! Letting you go will give us the disadvantage!"

The witch gritted her teeth and tried to threw a potion but Jerald was faster and before she knew it, a sword went through her.

"Alex."

"Nick."

"Shan....dy."

Steve quietly gasped.

He then found himself looking face-to-face with Herobrine. He'd witnessed many of his crimes as he stared at his empty eyes. "You are one with me! There's no turning back!" Steve heard him say it.

Steve slowly opened his eyes and ,again, he found himself in that cold and dark cell. "Am I dreaming?" He told himself. It's been five days since he came here and he hadn't eaten any food and was dehydrated. He's stunned to have realized that he made it this far without food or water. "This must be the power of Herobrine." Steve pondered heavily. He once again closed his eyes and dream about the joyful past.

~~~

"Hey, Herobrine, wake up!" The gurad yelled at him as he poke the side of his head with a stick. Steve slowly opened his eyes but didn't flinched.

"Oi! Didn't you hear me?! Wake up!" The guard annoyingly shouted once more. Steve gave him an empty expression.

"You had some visitors." Steve thought he saw him smirked, "This is gonna be good!"

"Herobrine!"

Steve can't be imagining it! He knows that voice -wait, it can't be! Steve abruptly looked up and for a moment he thought he was dreaming again. "A-Alex?"

Alex was standing there! That same green eyes and beside her was an armored warrior he can't recognize clearly, the side of his forehead was burned and he had an ugly scar on the eyes, and...a strange girl standing beside him, who is she?

"N-nick? And?..." He trailed off trying to identify the newcomer, but, before he could say anything, Nick dashed at him and pinned him against the wall. Steve nervously stared at the sword Nick held so close on his throat. "What did you do to Steve?!"

The guards immediately moved as they threatened him with pointed weapons, "You! Move away from him! We received orders to let him live!" One of them gruffed.

"Why are you keeping him alive when he deserve to die!" Nick cursed.

"Nick! Just calm down. We are instructed by the higher-ups to get the truth from him and what's his real plan! I assume they didn't want you to kill him, knucklehead." Alex smiled and helped him calm down.

"Er...is that Steve? He-he look different." The blond-haired girl asked as she stared hard on him. "Something's wrong with his eyes!" She innocently said. "It's empty and glowing white."

"You better put your distance from him. He's not Steve. He's just using Steve's body as a vessel. It's the dark lord, Herobrine." Nick sternly warned him."He's very deceitful."

Alex chuckled, "My, my, Nick...you're so overprotective since she was cured a day ago. You are lucky Jerald and his men found you half-dead before the witch could kill you." Alex turned towards the blond girl, "Listen to him, Shandy. Nick's right, he's not Steve."
