A New World. (Herobrine x Reader)

Chapter Twenty

Can't believe I'm already at chapter twenty.

As we walked through the busy streets I held onto Lee's hand as he led me through the crowd. I had my other hand pressed close to my side, mostly as a comfort mechanism.

"Would you like to stop at a café for a little bit?" I stared up at the back of his head, "I only have two emeralds left, and we don't know how expensive anything at the café is." He looked back at me, "then we can get something to share." He smiled and I smiled right back at him.

"HALT! Unhand that woman you beast!" Lee froze with tense shoulders and I peaked around his arm, a couple of guards- they looked young and cocky- stood in front of us.

"What." I lightly flinched at the growl in Leroy's voice. The quote unquote 'leader' of the group walked forward a couple of steps while trying to size up Lee, all while not looking into his eyes mind you.

"I said, unhand her, you monster." I quickly walked in between the idiot and my friend before the idiot got killed, because Lee was starting to spike up and that's not good.

"Hey, um hi, first of all. I'm not a woman, not a her. I'm a they. Don't assume, it makes you out to be a bigger asshole than you already are. Second of all, this is my friend, he keeps me safe. Which is what you're not about to be if you don't leave."

The dude scoffed, "how can you be friends with a monster?" I heard Lee growl behind me, and I glared at the dude in front of us, "dude, I will END you if you call him a monster again!" I reached for my sword but I groaned when I remembered that the wall clerk had my weapons.

So I pulled out my shield, "oh, a shield, so scary!~" he teased, which pissed me off. He pulled out his sword and started to taunt me and Lee, trying to get Lee to do something so that he has a reason to kill him.

I took off my shield and gave it to Lee, "if any of them charge, bash them." He gave a sharp nod and slid it onto his left arm, I pulled out my bow and primed an arrow, "one more step, and I'll shoot chu between ya eyes." He laughed and took another step.

And I promptly shot him between his eyes. Which caused chaos. I grabbed Lee and booked it to an alleyway, "come on!" I pulled out some blocks and made a staircase up the wall, Lee reached back and grabbed them after he walked up it.

We ran rooftop to rooftop, occasionally using Leroy's bloop to get over the big gaps but as we neared the wall the more guards we saw lining the street. I skidded to a stop and grabbed Lee forcing him to stop too.

"They're lining the wall!" I hissed in panic, "this is his fault, why are they going after us?!" He shrugged before grabbing me and pulling me into the shadows of a chimney.

He crossed an arm over my front like a seatbelt to keep me pressed into the dark. "We need to find some backroad." We sat there catching our breath when I heard something.

"Psst." I sat forward and looked around, "did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Pssst."
"That!"
"Yeah?"
"Hey, dumb and dumber!" We both jumped as a pale arm reached over the edge of the roof and grabbed my leg, "come with me, hurry!" They let go and I launched myself over the side with a quick push of my legs.

I landed in a convenient pile of hay with a hiss from it poking me, I quickly crawled out before Lee could squash me with hims long chicken legs. The cloaked person grabbed my wrist and I grabbed Lee's so that we formed a kindergarten follow-the-leader line.

They led us down backroads, around corners, and Lee bumped into me every time they stopped. They then pulled us to a dark alley and let go of me, but I still held onto Lee cause I'm scared and he's my emotional support demon.
