~~Chapter 14~~
Don't bring me down
++Important A/N BELOW++
***(Y/N)'s POV***
"I would always think that, hey, If I've got the skill. Why not work for the better? Help people, show them the right path Instead of being Infamous. Sometimes I ask myself, what should I go with? My heart? Or my mind? I feel like my mind Is better, I choose from different sides. But, I really don't know..."
"Hmmm"
"Talk to me doc"
The enderman In a suit adjusted his glasses, glancing over his notebook before looking back to me laying down on the couch thinking about life. The only sound in the room was our voices (mainly his) and the loud 'Tic Toc' of the brown clock, complementing the dark colors of the room.
"I'm observing Is that your saying alot of I's, clearly placing focus on yourself. Do you not, think of others as well in these kind of life changing decisions?"
This got my mind turning while I aimed my eyesight different directions trying to come up with what to say.
He chuckled "Your empty. Looking for words to say since you can't particularly decide"
"H-How did you kno--"
"I see the problem here"
His voice never changing through every letter, giving me to access to guess If It was something that could be solved easily. I started becoming Impatient even though he was merrily seconds from continuing. His left leg now resting upon the right.
"You just can't decide, It's either that you are simply unable to think fast enough about what to do. Or,"
I opened my mouth to protest that I can think fast, yet realizing my statement couldn't win in this situation: as It was true; the Enderman was right.
"Or, you plainly allow others to choose for you. Resulting in an ending you don't truly want"
"W-What?" I sat up "What do you mean-- What do you recommend?"
"I recommend you keep analyzing It while doing a relaxing action. For example, Yoga"
When he said that I closed my eyes shut getting up, clenching my jaw disappointed "Get out of here with that Yoga shit." I threw my hand at him turning around and leaving focus of everything
"Then think of the different possibilities, you choose the good side, you may fall--"
"But I'll fall trying to protect my world." I made a point
"Please let me finish Ma'am" He changed legs crossing over again before cancelling the action and sitting straight "Think about your choice before you do It from every different angle. Then for sure you'll understand"
"What If I don't understand?!" I faced him, he didn't respond and I sighed "Thank you" before walking out and closing the door whispering to myself while stomping a way towards the gym
"I really don't do well with philanthropists... How did I even get here?... Oh yeah..."
***3 Hours Ago***
"We must prepare for war." Herobrine told (Y/N) during brunch
"What?! WAR?! Why are we going to war!?"
"I have a world to rule, and will wait no longer."
Stunned, (Y/N) started getting weary, she didn't want to fight with the people of Minecraftia, she didn't want to harm them, she didn't want to be behind the reason of everyone's suffering...
That suffering that she once endured...
That suffering that will be ordered by the person she loves...
Herobrine on the other hand was ready to slice hundreds of throats that will be of those that don't obey him. He knew you didn't want to fight with him, more on his side. He was certain you were too afraid to refuse.
"Hero I have to think about this. I may not even fight"
"Why? Don't you want to be by my side?"
"I don't have to" She cleared getting angry, Hero furrowed his eyebrows
"So you do not wan't to help me?"
"I don't want to DIE"
"Who said anything about dying?"
"Well since your Immortal you can't DIE, stop trying to convince" (Y/N) wanted to continue, 'me because I don't want to stay with you If It'll end the way I think It'll end.'
"We will be going Into Minecraftia tomorrow. Be ready" He stood up and left, leaving (Y/N) almost having a heart attack
"No no no no no no no, NO!"

I froze as the memory flashed In my head. Took a deep breath closing my eyes and stiffened my figure while balling my hands, 5 seconds later I let go and continued walking normally.
After running for an hour on the treadmill I lifted some weights. Then stopped and took a quick shower. After that, I started walking around and felt the ground shaking a bit, looked outside I see an army of mobs practising and Herobrine giving a short speech.
"What am I gonna do?" I said under my breath for a brief second, and kept walking straight around the Nether until I felt something pulling me from my left arm, held my wrist with the right hand in fear and confusion. Soon my whole arm just disappeared and showed codes in the outline of my hand.
This came up to my shoulder and I quickly sat behind a block to make sure no one was seeing and lifting my knees trying to process what happened to my left arm, but now my left leg started disappearing Into codes and I felt I was going crazy and seeing things. In attempt to 'catch' my left leg from completely turning Into zeroes and ones, yet failing miserably.
Predicting that my right limbs would disappear too I tried marking where I am
Starting to write my name panting as I felt my lower body perishing away, looking down widening my eye's noticing It was going faster, I finished writing my name and I was about to put a line under It but my finger trailed downwards and I gasped for air while digging my fingers in the dirt before all vision went black...
~~~~
Quickly opening my eyes but then shutting them since a white light shone bright blinding me for a minute as I took a deep breath for air and covered my eyes
"...It worked... SHE'S HERE! IT WORKED!" A familiar voice called as the light was pushed away from my face exposing my area.
Seemed like a large laboratory, 10 people In It, 2 familiar faces that brightened my mood was Notch and Steve. "W-What? Steve? Where am I?"
"Why your back here In Minecraftia! We thought we'd never see you again... You seem perfectly fine though"
"What do you mean-?"
"(Y/N)! Welcome back!" Notch hugged me and I smiled
"Hey Notch... How did you guys bring me here?"
"Using a new teleporter for other codes. I'm happy you came back In one piece! The last one didn't work so well but that's not the point we're talking about now are we? Tell me (Y/N), what happened In the Nether? Did he do anything to you?!"
"How do you know!?"
"I searched for your codes and It said It wasn't in Minecraftia, so I thought that you would be In the Nether since there has been some things stolen these days..."
"Like what?" I started getting nervous
"Some codes that were very important for me and everyone else on this planet, with those codes we could basically stop Herobrine" Steve cleared my mind.
I nodded "Don't worry, everything will be okay..."
"I hope so... But I'm not sure about that"
"You shouldn't" Notch said and we turned our attention towards him "Herobrine will do anything to rule. So we must fight."
"Why can't you just do It like last time? Ban him to the nether for all eternity!" Steve argued but In a low voice
"Its not that easy"
We became silent and awkward, my mind full of things to say so I cleared my throat
"Uh-... Notch? Can I talk to you?" I looked at him then glanced at Steve quickly "Privately?"
"I'm sure If you have anything Important to say you can say It to both of us (Y/N)" He exclaimed grasping to tell me
I sighed "A--... Are you ready? For war?"
"We are always ready (Y/N)"
Nodding, I got up and looked around the busy laboratory, then started walking around with Notch explaining to me how they will plan attack incase he comes with an army. As he spoke I had a flash of memory of how I left... Nah, he must be thinking I'm sleeping or something...
"Mm? Care to have dinner with us (Y/N)?"
My eyes widened, okay now he must be looking for me. Fuck... "Notch I gotta go" I started speed-walking back away from the place
"(Y/N)? What? Where?"
"I- I- Really have to go now..." I started pushing people out of the way to make a path for me to the exit
"(Y/N)?!" Steve was one of the people I pushed sadly, and he could see I was worried
"BE PREPARED" I yelled before running as fast as I could to the dessert and trying to figure out where the secret portal Is "Come on, come on, where are you?"
I stopped to take a second of air panting. "Stupid portal..."
Putting both hands on my waist I looked around praying that no mobs come near. Next thing I know the sand under me fell down and a large empty hall way with redstone torches as a source of shady light. Rubbing my head and opening my eyes clearly, I smiled. Finally.
Walking in the 2x2 hall way It felt very uneasy. But when I arrived at the portal I quickly jumped through, but instead of falling out the portal In the Nether, I started to glitch: my codes weren't getting through the portal but Instead I ended up back where I first started to teleport In the Nether, laying down, and I could see my name and the uncompleted line under It to my right, then my hand mark.
I sighed covering It with the netherrack and standing up straight gaining back my balance. Taking a deep breath settling down,
"Okay (Y/N). You got this." I gave myself a short pep talk before starting to walk to the castle.
"Hello Ma'am. You have been gone for a while, Is everything okay?" Bob greeted me as the doors opened
"Yeah It's fine. I was just thinking about stuff" I lied "Did Herobrine ask about me?"
"No. He Is busy getting the army ready for tomorrow" He started walking beside me and gave me a glass of water. I sighed taking It shakily, I think Bob could sense my discomfort so he went on a knee to get to my height and said
"Listen, (Y/N). If you don't want to go tomorrow, don't. Just stay here in safety until everything Is fine, or you can choose sides and fight for what you think is right."
I kept my frown "What If I go with the other side?"
He stood up
"Then I guess we have to fight you. We have no choice, Its In our code, the purpose we are alive Is to basically kill other players"
This silenced me, I nodded and heard Herobrine call me. But I looked at Bob and he nodded
"I'll tell him you need to think. I will see you soon (Y/N)"
"Maybe..." I finished his sentence after he teleported. Then made my way to my room in no time, slammed the door shut the echo could be heard from here. But I didn't care.
Sliding down the door covering my face, eyes glossy.
What am I gonna do? I don't want to die fighting for what's wrong...
This fear is trembling.
I could fear everything and run.
Or
I could face everything and hopefully rise.
Take risks to the known.
Or
Stay Safe to the unknown.
12 hours
Its all In my hands now, no turning back.
