A New World. (Herobrine x Reader)

I stood in the bathroom and turned on the sink to wash my face, but when I looked back at the mirror I felt a chill run down my spine.

Eyes, pure white eyes stared back from over my shoulder, I twisted around to check over my shoulder but saw no one. "What the hell?" My breath became heavy and I finally felt the eyes boring into my back, the breath hitting the shell of my ear, I froze, fear making my body lock up.

The eyes raised in height, holy shit. They had to be at least 5'11 at most 6'2, then the smell enveloped my senses, a calm pine forest, soot and gunpowder. Weird combination but strangely comforting, the dark figure raised their arm and with a strange gentleness caressed my face, for some reason I leaned into the hand with a smile.

I turned around and looked at the figure with a serene and loving smile. They slowly leaned down and I leaned up to meet them.

I jerked awake, what the fuck was that dream. I rested my head on my hand, I soon decided that I can't just lay here all day so I scooted over to the edge of the bed before getting up with a groan and heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

I pause for a moment before entering, "just get the clothes, you can change in the bedroom." I reassured myself and entered the bathroom, grabbed my clothes and booked it back out.

I quickly change into the clothes, surprisingly they fit. They were actually quite loose.

I wrapped the scarf around my hips instead of my neck for now. Since it wasn't cold in the bedroom I couldn't understand why Gena gave such warm clothes until I got to the main room with the blue carpet. It was freezing! How did I not notice it last night?

"Hey, you're awake! How'd you sleep, have any dreams?" I blushed a little at the mention of dreams, "oh, I slept great, thank you for asking, so much comfier than the ground." She giggled at me, "you might wanna put the scarf around your neck, winter is coming and the mornings are already really nippy." Druce commented from behind a counter, he had a mortar and pestle and was crushing up something.

"Hey, Druce." He hummed to let me know I had his attention, "what are you crushing?" I wandered over to the counter and stood across from him. "Blaze rods, we use the powder to power the brewing stands." I was confused but didn't ask further, "we have a bag with supplies to get you going," Gena handed me a bag, "I wish you safe travels, and plentiful hunting!" She gave me a huge smile.

I slung the bag over my shoulders and got it situated before I got smacked with a hug by Gena, "please, stay safe, there are monsters out there." Her eyes were tearing up, I was confused as to why.

Druce pryde the poor girl off of me and grabbed my hand, "go to the weapon smith, look for Drax, say Druce sent you, he'll give you an axe and pickaxe, you'll have to get a sword from the guards, but do be safe out there, beyond the walls is very dangerous for us, when you find an area to call your own, light it up. Don't leave a dark patch." I nodded and he let go of my hand, "I wish you safe travels and plentiful hunting." He rumbled to me before I headed out the door.

I closed the door and quickly put the scarf around my neck, it was just as cold if not colder out here than in the stone building. I snuggled my face into the warm wool scarf and made my way towards the town center, the same path Anki had taken yesterday, and I began to see more people walking around to get to their work.

I had stopped and asked one of the villagers where the weapons smith named Drax was and they pointed me in the direction of his workshop, I thanked them then I headed to Drax to get some tools.

~time skip, nya~

I walked through the door of the workshop but quickly stepped to the side to let a villager leave the shop. I walked over to the counter and rang the little bell, "hmm? Oh, ello dere, what can I be of service for?" I hesitated because damn that's a fine man, "I-uh do you know where a Drax is?" I started wringing my fingers, "You're talkin' to 'im, doll." I blushed in embarrassment, "oh, uh Druce sent me, he said that you could give me an axe and pickaxe?", "ah, yeah, I can get ya te tools, jus' wait ta second." He had a weird accent, it sounded nice though.

As Drax was getting the tools I got the chance to take in his appearance, he had fluffy brown hair that was loosely pulled back into a bun, a slight stubble and dark green eyes. He was quite tall at what I'm guessing is 5'9, and he had muscle built over his body from working in the forge.

"Alright, I fount ya some tools, just an iron pickaxe and ta stone axe, I can give ya an iron shovel if ya want?" I nodded, "that would help, thank you." He put the axe and pickaxe on the counter. I picked up the pickaxe, and it felt strangely normal to hold it in my hand, I then realized that I had loops on my pants that I could slide them into.

"Well here's you ta shovel, I don't have any swords for ya, oh and one more thing, I have some gauntlets dat I need rid of, you can have tem. Anyways you can go to te guards to get one, tell tem dat Drax sent ya." I put the shovel in the loop on my bag after he handed it to me and put on the gauntlets, "how can I pay you back, this is so much?" Drax chuckled, "Jus' give me some emeralds te next time you're in town." I smiled at him, and after probably way too many thank yous I left the workshop to find the guards.

I decided that the wall would be a good place to look since I saw a guard there yesterday. I asked another person where the guards were and they said that they were a guard just heading to their shift and that they could take me. I thanked them and they led me to the guard post.

"So, why do ya wanna find where the guards are?" I looked at the boy, "Drax told me that the guards are where I can get a sword before I leave town."

"Oh, I can give you mine! I need a new one anyways, and this one still has good durability." The other guard exclaimed, I looked at him in surprise, "you'll just give me your sword? Won't you get in trouble?" He shook his head, "nah, I won't get in trouble, we're supposed to get new swords today anyways- OH! You can give them your sword too, Jake!"

Jake looked apprehensive, "we're supposed to give in our swords when we get new ones-", "we can say we were practicing and didn't notice how low our swords got and they broke. Easy as that, plus we don't want 'em to have to face the captain." Both boys shudder, "I don't know, Sam. I don't wanna get in trouble.", "ugh, we won't get in trouble, c'mon just help the kid- look, there's a crafting table, we can combine our swords and they'll get one with full durability."

Jake looked between the crafting table and his sword before sighing, "You're lucky I love you." He then grabbed Sam's sword and brought it to the table, beep boop bop, now he had one sword.

"Here ya go, be careful out there." I smiled at the two. Jake wrapped his arm around Sam's shoulders and pressed a kiss to his temple, "have fun, babe! Don't die!" Sam exclaimed before getting dragged away by Jake.

I giggled at the two before heading to the gate that I entered the town in. The gate was open this time which was very lucky for me cause that meant that I didn't have to explain where I was going or why I was geared up to the teeth.

As I wandered through the forest I started tapping the knuckles of my gauntlets together, it made a nice clink noise. I walked to the edge of the forest and saw where I woke up. It feels like it's been a week since I first woke up even though it was just yesterday.

I walked over to the patch of grass that I woke up on, there was a single red rose where my body used to lie. I turned and made my way to the snowy area that I saw to the west, it started raining along the way so I ran to a tree.

When I made it I was gasping for breath, I placed a hand on the trunk to balance myself, "oh, I'm so out of shape." I groaned.

"Yo, this is my tree, find your own.
