Fire Starter [Minecraft Diaries Fanfic]

Not edited***

It's been a couple of weeks that I've left Pikoro.
I've been staying with Octavius, and Thoren for a while. It's not bad. I found out that Thoren's a really good cook.

I haven't heard much from Joyce other than they're looking for me and they have werewolves looking for me. That's all I've heard. She's been sending her friends to find me, in the most random of places.

The last message I got was a couple of days ago when she said it's hard to sent me messages, and that they knew that she knew where I was. Which probably meant Joyce said something. She had to have said something...

Last time I trust Joyce.

It's been weird staying here. Not really having anything to do. Just staying low, and waiting it out until our next move.

I lay in Octavius's guest bed room and think about my next move. Thoren has been getting...impatient. But I don't think it's because of me. He's not telling me something, but yet it's none of my business as to what it is.

He been grumpy, and he's more rude. He snaps at both me and Octavius but, Octavius just dusts it off.

I thought a bit about Hailey, and what she could be doing right now. I wonder if she even cares. I mean if she meant anything she said to me before...then she must have been sad, but that couldn't have lasted very long.

I then heard a knock at the door. I hopped up from my bed. I cleared my throat and said "Come in"

Soon enough, Thoren came into the room and I rolled my eyes and lay back down on the bed. He wasn't worth it, he was probably coming in here to yell at me for something stupid. I noticed he was still wearing the same outfit he came here in, but it was now cleaned. He was so annoying, Octavius already offered him clothes but he demanded on wearing the same thing...why is that?

"Katie, when are we leaving?" He said in more of a demand, as he crossed his arms blowing a piece of his hair out of his eyes.

"I don't know.." I said in thought. I knew staying here was now very risky. Even the werewolves that Hailey got won't help. I debated on going to Tu'la...but I wasn't ready. I had to remember the list I made for myself. I can't rush anything.

Going to Tu'la as a complete and utter mess won't help anything. I'd rather go with confidence and pride instead of fear. If I know who I am, and I stick to that, I shouldn't have a problem. But, I don't know who I am, and I'm not happy. It's like my aspiration in life, and although I'm asking for a lot...I want it more than anything.

"Well, we can't stay here all our lives?!" He raised his voice throwing his arms in the air. I groaned "We won't Thoren, just...just give me some time" I said calming myself down from yelling at him. His tantrums were beginning to get on my nerves.

"I don't understand what your waiting for?! Like Jesus, come on! Can't you just go to where ever you came from and be gone so I can get on with my life!" He yelled. His deep voice boomed without my room. I prayed Octavius didn't hear him, although he probably did.

I felt my blood begin to boil, but I took a deep breath and practically whispered. "Is that what I am to you? A waste of time? A block in the road?" He didn't say anything so I got up and walked closer to him. "It may have escaped your notice, but you're the one that chose to come along. No one asked for you. No one made you come with me. So if I'm that much of a bother....FUCKING LEAVE!" I was calm until the last part, when I snapped. He was pissing me off, did he think I was just living the life here? Did he not know I wanted to leave just as much as he did?

My self confictions held me back, that, and the fact I kept over thinking it. I really didn't want to mess up. There was no more room for error. I had to think about this smartly, and skillfully. I had to have everything planned.

"Maybe I will!" He yelled back. I scoffed "then go ahead like I care!" I yelled back in frustration. God, he was such an ass.

As I watched him began to walk to the door he suddenly Turned around and said "you know, I never really understood what we were doing out here anyways. Your a murderer. You belong in jail not running around like a chicken with its head cut off. She's dead. Get over it. I don't understand why I'm helping a delusional child" he spat with a grin knowing it hurt.

"You prick! That's not true!" I yelled as I went to run at him, Octavius soon came into view. "I'm sorry to interrupt my friends but I'm afraid we have company" he said motioning to the end of the hall way.

"Oh my god, what do I do?!" I tried to calm myself down with deep breaths. "Just grab your things and I'll show you" Octavius said motioning to the other end of the hallway as he walked down it.

I quickly, rushed into my room and began to collect all my scattered belongings into the bag I had used when I left in the beginning. I made my bed and made sure everything was like it once was before. I quickly tied my hair up in a pony tail and on the way out I glanced at myself in the mirror. I was wearing ripped jeans with a plain white flow like shirt. My blue crystal eyes popped and my pink lips were formed into a frown. On the run again.

With that I left. I ran down the hallway, and it seemed to go on for ever. Every hall was that same, every door and painting. It was as if Octavius did this just in case someone like me needed help, it would throw off the people they were running from. He's truly smart. Unless he made this because he was running from someone also.

I finally got to the last door and opened it to see Octavius going through a bunch of boxes. Octavius began to throw a bunch of papers across the room in frustration. He pulled and bunch of stuff of out a box then threw that one as well.

"What are you looking for Octavius? Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked placing my hand on his shoulder. The poor man was doing this all for me, I felt horrible.

" Help!" He yelled out as if he had an idea or remembered something. I stood there dumbfounded until he glared at a box across the room and said "Epiphany" I looked at him confused. What's going on with him...

He sprinted to the box and teared through it as well, and stopped once he found a book, and violently flipped through the pages. "I'm sorry Octavius, but I don't understand" I said honestly. What was he doing?

"Manifestation of a divine or supernatural being" he smiled as he stopped on a page. He looked at it, and then ripped it out. He tossed the book across the room as he raced to a cabinet. Is he okay?

"Octavius....a-are you okay?" I tried to asked calmly. What the hell is going on?!

He then pulled out twi purple, leathery looking pouches , with golden strings holding them shut. Octavius then grinned at me, as he opened the first one, putting one hand in it.

"Octavius, I have to go. Where is Thoren?" I asked him. He was acting so odd, I had to go now. "Distracting them." He said.

"Now, darling I'm sorry your must leave so quickly. But I have two very important gifts for you" he said. "Oh no. I don't need any gifts Octavius, you've done enough" I assure him.

He chuckled and said "Kathryn, these gifts I assure you will help you in your journey, plus it would be rude not to accept" He said taking my hand with in his free one. He first took out a golden pocket watch. A watch? What? How is that gonna help me?!

"This is a very special watch. I thought you would like it so you'll never forget the time." He said weirdly. What? How is that important.

But still with a smiled I accepted it. Then he opened the second pouch and put his hand in that one too. "Kathryn, this is not a goodbye but a see you soon. I know you'll be seeing me again, and I want you to know that. After your gone I shall send Thoren with you" what?

And with that Octavius took his hand out of the bag, holding some odd white powder and threw it on me. I felt a breeze pass by me with a howl then Suddenly the air was knocked out of me as I was thrown onto the ground with a thump.

Ow.

I groaned in pain as I looked around. I was on a  forest floor. Great. Just fantastic. Thanks Octavius. I would've liked a warning better than a watch...

I slowly stumbled back onto my feet, I had a couple of scrapes and bruises, but I was fine. I felt a liquid run down my cheek realizing, my cheek was cut. A couple feet away from me was my backpack. I walked to it and swung it over my shoulder. Where am I?

I looked down and noticed my once white shirt was now filthy. Great. I decided that I should start walking, I wasn't gonna wait around for Thoren. Deep down what he said hurt me...

What if I was being stupid. I was hurting my family back in Pikoro, just to find someone who was dead. I did this all for someone who died a long time ago. What's wrong with me? Why am I giving in to all these stupid plans? Why am I so lost? I don't understand....

I feel lost, alone....and stupid. The thought of actually killing someone, hurt more than I could of imagined. Someone whose thoughts were pure...she may have been annoying as hell....but...she helped me. No matter how many comments or look I made, no matter how many times I avoided her or pushed her away entirely her annoying ass kept coming back.

Something deep inside of me thought that if she really was dead she'd be here haunting my ass for being so stupid. I don't know why I felt so conflicted, I didn't feel like this before I met her, or Aphmau.

I didn't understand.

Soon I reached the apart of the woods where there was a opening. The opening lead to a cliff. The view was amazing, I wondered where I was. I walked closer to the cliff, admiring it. To think, I'm practically dead to Pikoro anyways. They'll never find me with the spell Octavius created. So technically, if I died, it wouldn't really matter.

-------------------------------------------------------

Thoren's P.O.V

As I fell though the sky, branches hit my sides, and the wind howled in my ears before I hit the ground with a yelp and a thud. I laid on the ground for a while, attempting to recover from the fall. Octavius better fix that damned spell or at least spawn us somewhere more safer.

I found myself staring at a baby blue sky filled with white fluffy clouds, with pine trees hanging above me, almost laughing at my fall. Bastards.

I hated nature sometimes, so goddamn annoying. As I collected myself off the ground I slowly remembered why I was here. Katie. I silently hoped she hadn't fallen as hard as I did.

I fixed my shirt and began to walk. Where I was waking? I didn't know...just hoping it was in the same direction as Katie. I knew I was probably the last person she's want to see right now, but I didn't really care. I've noticed that I've been quiet bitter lately but I have a right to.

Yet, it had nothing to do with her but my own past. I knew running away from my problems was stupid, and I knew it was gonna bite me in the ass one day, but oh well. I'll deal with it, like everything else I've ever done. Dealt with it.

As I began to walk further into the forest, the realization finally hit me. Ohhhh shit. We were standing right in the border of Tu'la. That was bad, real bad. Let's just say me and Tu'la aren't the best of friends at the moment, I fact this is probably the last place I'd ever want to be. I'd rather prefer Octavius to teleport us in the Nether than here. And I mean that.

I hoped Tu'la didn't have guards on high patrol today, but hell, they have high patrol everyday. The minute I thought that I heard "Freeze! Thoren Layne! you are now on Tu'la's land! Lord-" I didn't stick around to hear the rest.

I ran as fast as my feet would take me. "Stop right there!" I heard man yelled. Hell no I'm not. I weaved through the trees in hoping I would loose them. I needed to find Katie. Now.

After what seemed like hours of running I came to a opening in the forest. It was a cliff. A dead end. Before I could turn around and run the other way I saw Katie at the edge of it. She looked so conflicted as the tip of her toes hung off of it. Her hair was flowing in the wind, as I saw a jagged cut on her left cheek, no doubt from the fall here.

Then I heard "COME BACK HERE!" I then looked back at Katie as, she swayed closer to the cliff then I felt comfortable with. Suddenly, like 10 Tu'la guards came rushing out of the forest. "CATCH HIM!" The scrawny one yelled as they ran at me. I glanced at Katie as she looked back at me in horror. She was gonna fall.....or jump.

I wasn't really thinking but with in seconds I scooped her in my arms, and swooped her to safety away from the cliff. Her blue eyes were watery and full of confusion. At least she was okay, I was soon ripped away from her. As the guards grabbed me I tossed, turned and yelled "I'm so sorry" I said as I watch one of the guards grab her and she screamed.

"Stay calm!" I yelled to her, as my voice cracked and one of them wrapped there hands around her mouth to muffle her screams and shouts for help. I kicked and punched but it did nothing.

The last thing I saw was four guards grabbing her as she tossed about turned, she went to scream at me as her big blue eyes widened and I was welcomed by darkness.
