Guardian of The End

Chapter 3

"So... you don't... like me back?"

"It's not that, Warp. I do like you. I love you, even... but like a brother, or family. I can hear your thoughts, I know it's not what you wanna hear. But the fact of the matter is, yeah, I could have your kid someday, but if they end up being immortal like myself, then they'll outlive you."

"So you can't die?"

"No... at least, I don't think so."

Herobrine's voice drifted into her head. We can die, but not permanently. Sorry about eavesdropping sister, but I noticed your uncertainty and wanted to help.

Oh. Thanks.

"Er, yeah, I can die but not permanently. I guess my body will somehow fix itself while I'm just a soul floating about."

"That's interesting..."

"So, do you wanna meet Kentu?"

"Sure. By the way, what happened to Melina, Jackie, and Ellen?"

She froze as she was walking to the door, looking over her shoulder at her friend. She forced an upset frown. "I don't know, and I don't care. They're out of my life now, why should I worry about them anymore?"

"Jill... er, Enderbrina... what happened to them?"

She crossed her arms. "I don't know."

"Don't lie to me, I can see you're lying. What happened to them?"

She stared at her friend, surprised he could see through her lie. "Fine... I killed them."

"You kil-"

"And the world is better for it!" she interrupted before he could continue. "You only know what they did to me when we were in class or at lunch together. Did you know she almost followed me home once? She was planning on killing me, Warp. I saw the look in her eyes every time she bullied me. She hated me, and I have no idea why. I don't know if I ever will, but honestly I don't care anymore. She's gone, as well as the other two. I'm happy to have their blood staining my hands."

Warp just stared at her, shocked beyond belief. So much had been hidden from him. So many things Melina and her two friends did to Jill... "I didn't know..."

She let out a huff, and turned away, looking remorseful for yelling at her best friend. "I didn't mean to yell at you, Warp. I'm sorry. Stupid emotions..."

"Hey, no, don't talk like that."

She turns to smile at him a little. "I didn't mean it like that. I just... right now, I get riled up easily. I have a hybrid soul," she gives a brief explanation of what it means, "and I'm trying to tame my angry emotions right now."

"And you have to deal with insanity-inducing joy too? What the hell?"

"I know, right? But, I'll be okay. I'm just kinda emotionally unstable right now."

"Can you take me to meet Kentu? Get your mind off that for now?"

"Sure, let's go."

Brina watched as Warp talked with Kentu, both very animated and geeking out over endersmithing. She told them she'd get the castle chefs to make them something for dinner and to not be late. They waved 'goodbye' almost dismissively, and teleported to the kitchen, talking to the chefs. She asked them to make half a serving of each of her and Kentu's favorites for Warp, and a full plate for herself and the blacksmith. Warp and Kentu arrived just as the food was ready. The two endermen and goddess thanked the chefs before digging in.
