The Haunted; The Journey

The Mage

Eve's P.O.V

I'd been traveling for three days now. I was running out of money and food, this wasn't good. I had to find someone I could steal from soon or things were going to get bad, very bad. Tonight I ate the last of my stale bread. Even though I have nine lives I still need to eat after I die and I don't want to die from starvation again and again. I was walking in hope of finding a place to sleep when I saw a mountain. It was made of teal stone and marble and at the top was a white marble temple. If I wasn't on the verge of starving to death I would find the mountain breathtaking. But right now I wasn't interested in the mountain I was interested in the temple.

The temple was great news. If I could find an artifact up there and sell it I could get money, and money meant food. The only part was getting to the top, it was a really steep mountain... I decided that I wold sleep tonight and hike up it early in the morning. I sighed and settled in for a little cat nap.

That Morning

I yawn and stretched as I woke up. It was the morning but the sun wasn't up yet. Great, I had a nice and early start on the mountain. I got right to climbing the mountain, I had an easy time scaling the mountain because I was very agile and fast. It was a little past mid-day when I got to the top of the mountain. I was so hungry I could eat lizard, Ew! I was exploring the place when I heard a noise from one of the rooms. It sounded like someone chanting a spell, I snuck a look and sure enough there was an enderman hybrid chanting a spell. From than day on till I learned his real name which was about two days later I called him the Mage, in my head at least.

The third day I was there I was raiding the Mage's bedroom (for the second time) when he was away. I had found some food but nothing of real value (Again! Are all Mages this poor?). Then he teleported back with someone else. The other person had blond hair and green eyes. He was fully human as far as I could tell. I darted around the corner to hide but not fast enough. The blond guy saw me. "Who that?" he asked. " What do you mean?" The Mage said. "I swear I saw someone." The blond guy responded. "This place was abandoned a long time ago." The Mage said. " I'm pretty sure your seeing things, Maybe you need some sleep." "I guess sleep never hurts." I hear the blond one say. " Here you can take this bedroom." I hear the Mage say as he leads the blond one away. Finally I think sneaking away to take a quick cat nap before I try to get myself some money.

I found the blond-one's bedroom. It only took me a minute but I waited to make sure he was asleep before I snuck in. I saw his backpack in the corner and went for it, but I didn't watch where I was going and tripped over a slime. *SQISH* It went and I cringed at the loud noise. I checked to see if the blond one was awake but he just rolled over with his hand now dangling over his backpack and groaned. Wow, sometimes I thing humans are deaf. (I bet I could scream and he wouldn't notice). Now I slowly made my way over to his backpack. I had to be careful because his hand was there too. I turned around because the slime startled me, when it moved. Then suddenly a hand was over my mouth and a sword at my throat before I could even scream.
