Welcome to Hermitcraft! (Grian x Mumbo Jumbo) Child!reader

Fear

This chapter will contain a few different povs. I will say when it switches.

X's pov

I was just about to go over to the hospital type thing that we had built the other day when I got a message from Scar. It was odd. I thought he was off mining with (Tn) and wouldn't have enough connection to message me.

X, we have a problem.

Yeah, what is it? Another sick?

No, but it could have something to do with it

What is it Scar. If it is related to the sickness then I need to know.

Go to Grian's base. I'll explain everything there.

Grian's base? Why would he be over there and why does he have to explain over there? It didn't make sense but I still decided to not question it.

I pulled on my elytra and flew over to Grian's base. The journey was short, so I landed down in the base within five minutes of leaving. I saw Scar speaking with Grian in a corner and (Tn) by the chests looking for something. I walked over to Grian and Scar and immediately asked, "What. Happened."

It might have sounded harsh, but I haven't slept well in forever and it has caused me to be stressed and grumpy about everything.

"Yeah, all you told me is that (Tn) had to stay here. You never told me why, Scar." Grian whispered with crossed arms and a worried expression. Scar just stood for a second, thinking about it with a confused look over his eyes.

"Well, I can't really give all the details, but essentially (Tn) either saw or heard something really bad in the cave and I don't think they should be left alone tonight." Scar mumbled to use, peeking over at the kid every few words. How could this be related to the virus? I was lost in thought until the sound of something dropping to the floor alarmed me.

I looked at (Tn), finding them paralyzed with fear and various items spilled on the floor in front of them. We ran over to them and started asking questions.

"Wh.. What do you want from me.." They whispered in an almost inaudible voice.

"Who wants what from you?" I questioned looking straight at their face. It was covered in tear stains and (Tn)'s eyes were glazed.

"The v-voice, its back." They said as they looked over to me. Grian looked concerned and Scar was looking around.

"(Yn), tell me everything that happened while you were out. Not just the cave, all of it." My voice was stern and my face was set. I put my hands on their shoulders and had them sit down in front of me. (Tn) nodded and started to speak quietly. Eventually, Grian and Scar had sat down too, listening intently to (Tn).

~~~•~some time later~•~~~

Grian pov

As (Tn) finished their story, I could tell they were close to tears. They were terrified, scarred for life.

"Just now, while I was looking through the chests, I heard it again. It said something like 'You can't hide forever' and called me child again somewhere in there." (Tn) finished with a shaky voice, hands shivering wildly in their lap. X was blank faced, searching his mind for something. Scar had his hand on the kids shoulder, fear evident in his face. I just sat there, confused, worried, and surprised.

Only X could allow someone into the server. The portals were closed off to anyone who wasn't invited and X wouldnt let anyone bad in. In exception of his brother of course.

~~~•~a few hours later~•~~~

"Grian, will you stay with (Tn), we are going to go search that cave." X told me. I nodded and went back to helping (Tn). They were deffinatly horrified of the voice, whatever it was, and I could understand why. It has threatened them more than once and had followed them out of the cave.

I waved as X and Scar left my base, ready to focus on the kid. They were listening to music on one of my chests, knees pulled up to their chin. Without thinking, I went over and sat with them. They looked up at me for a second, then looked back down. I couldn't help but feel like I needed to do something, but what I wasn't sure of.

In the end, I decided to give (Tn) some space to think. So I gave them one last side hug and went to work on the upper layers of my base. Specially project 'dirt house'. I just had to add a few more wires and it would be complete.

I went to the machine and started working, adding things here and there, tuning note blocks, and connecting redstone. For one of my first Redstone contraptions of this size, I couldn't help but feel proud of myself. Even without testing it, I could tell it would work.

After about an hour of placing and connecting, I heard someone fly into the room. I walked out from behind and saw (Tn) standing near the edge. They started to walk towards my project slowly.

"Hey, you're just in time! I just finished this up." I called as I walked over to them. They smiled sadly and looked back to the dirt wall.

"What is it?" They asked.

"Help me get the dirt and then I'll show you." So we started taking down the wall to reveal the machine. After five minutes of digging, we were able to see the machine clearly. I also decided to show Mumbo, so I invited him over as well. I mean, you can't take away someone's mustache without letting them know how, right?

When he arrived, I explained the basics then had (Tn) hit the button. We all stood back as the machine started playing the time. All of us laughed loudly when the mustache dropped and eyebrows appeared. I looked over to Mumbo to see he was missing his mustache.

I tapped (Tn) on the shoulder and pointed to Mumbo. They laughed at the sight in front of them. Then, when Mumbo and I looked at (Tn), we started laughing even harder.

"Wh-whats so funny ab-about me?" (Tn) said between chuckles.

"F-feel your fa-face!" I laughed out. They moved their hand up to their face and immediately started dieing of laughter. They had Mumbo's mustache, and it took up a good portion of their face. We took the time to laugh and have fun, putting away the sorrow and pain that has been plauging us the past few months. We didn't know when we would have this chance again, so we took it all in.

OK, so, this is a filler chapter to get things going and I figured I would give one last happy moment before things go down hill. And thank you for 1000+ reads! I am actually surprised that so many people would read this! So, thank you again. The next chapter should be out in a week or two. Im bad with sticking to upload scheduals...
