If I'm Not Human, That Doesn't Mean I'm a Monster

Chapter 11

***

                After happiness of his return, he told us about what happened in the warehouse. “So, he’s coming?” Ian asked. “Oh, I already came.” We spun around to reveal the brother of Notch.

                We all stared at him, shocked and fearful. Soon, we all charge the figure except Mitch because we were determined to help defend him. When we start attacking him, we realized it was an illusion. Something soon clicked in my head.

                “Mitch!” I called out and turned around. There he was, in the grip of Herobrine with a knife to his neck.

                He grabbed me by the neck and put the knife to my neck. I didn’t struggle because I was too weak. “Mitch!” Jason said when they noticed that the other one was a fake. They were all shocked but I was too tired and in pain to reveal any emotion.

                “I’ll give you a decision. I kill him right on the spot or you.” He said staring at them. “No, none of us will die here but you.” Adam said. He let out a soft chuckle. “Quite wrong, two people have died here and it is Jason and this man.” He said tightening his grip. “Now, you decide Jerome. After all I did ask you.”

                He looked at me but I gave him a small smile. It took a lot of energy to use it and if I used anymore on magic, I would die. He stepped up and looked sorrowful, “Kill me, Mitch doesn’t deserve to die. Monster or human, we have a life to live and enjoy.”

                The evil man holding me smiled, “I would be glad to.” He threw the knife and everything slowed down. I put out my hand and a small laser escaped from my fingertips. My body slowly grew limp and everything started to fade to black but I saw the laser hit the knife and it fell to the ground. Then, I was stuck, in a place I thought I would never be in. Nothing to do but cry and forget everything.
