mindcracklove | Turned Chapter 2

First Chapter: http://mindcracklove.dreamwidth.org/878232.html#cutid1

I am so sorry for taking so long to write this. Also I am sorry about taking forever on the fourth chapter of "If I Play", I honestly have no excuse except for writers block.

Kinda short, sorry, again.

Also if anyone is interested in beta-ing or has information about getting on the salad sever that would be super helpful.

Thanks. Enjoy

PauseUnPause P.O.V

My boots clunked loudly on the cobble roads of the village. My sheath of arrows rattled with every step I took. My heart was pounding, and I was afraid. I would have liked to say I wasn't afraid, but I was. Isn't everyone afraid of death?

As I got closer to the village square I was overwhelmed by fear and I had to stop walking and sit for a minute. I looked around at all the places I would never see again, trying to imagine them as they used to be. I was going to die today. I was going to leave and never come back, never to see my friends and neighbors again. I saw a shop that used to sell flowers and sweets that now sold flour and sometimes if we were lucky a piece or two of sugarcane. I saw the empty butchers shop where I used to sell my catch. I missed everything the way it used to be. I don't think I will miss the way it is now.

I decided I had to get moving, better not be late to my own death. As I clomped into the village square heads turned and people gasped. I didn't blame them, it had been years since anyone had seen clothes like this. Some of the younger children had never seen Indian clothing and headdresses. I slipped into the back of the crowd, I didn't want to make eye contact with anyone. I didn't want to get anyone in trouble or make a scene. The speakers in the center of the square crackled and we knew the gathering was about to start.

"Aureylian."

I was shocked. I couldn't believe Aureylian was called and not me. She was sweet and innocent, she was a school teacher and a mother. Neither she or her daughter Boo deserved this. I watched as she slowly and calmly walked to the stage. I saw some helpers of The Law grab a rope and fasten it to a pole on the edge of the stage. She was being hung. I saw her climb a ladder, but then looked away. There was no reason for me to watch this, I was as good as dead anyway.

I heard a strangled scream. Then a gun shot. Then blackness.

Aureylian's P.O.V

Everything was pitch black, I couldn't see or hear. The only thing that seemed to work was my sense of pain. I felt my bones snapping and cracking. My skin seemed to be stretching and changing. I felt my eyes and mouth move. It was like my entire body was on fire or submerged in lava. I couldn't move. I didn't know where I was or why I was there. All I remembered was a rope. Then everything disappeared again.

PauseUnPause P.O.V

When I could finally see again, I still had no idea where I was. I knew the walls were covered made of cobblestone and I was surrounded by creepers. I turned to run, but I fell over and landed on the floor. I couldn't figure out how to get back up. I kept trying to use my arms to push myself up, but I couldn't use them or maybe they were cut off. I cringed waiting for the explosion, it never came. Instead I could feel someone hands lift me.

"Not sure how to use four legs, are you?" came a laughing voice from behind me.

Suddenly I was spun around and saw a man with messy black hair, a red hard hat, and green goggles. I didn't think much of his appearance. I was more concerned but what he said. I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant, but nothing came out.

"SSSsssSSSsssSSS" was the only sound I could make.

It hit me. I was creeper.

"Oh you didn't know you were a creeper, sorry about that," he laughed, " So let me be a nice gentleman and explain it to all the noobs, basically you are now creepers who will work in my maps, you will be able to resplendent, or come back to life when you die. In my maps you will be killing your family and friends. Fun right."

He went into a laughing fit that almost lasted four minutes. His laugh was a combination of hearty evil laughs and sweet childish giggles. I wasn't sure what to do with the information, it wasn't like I could do anything with it. I didn't have arms, I couldn't speak and if I got ten feet withing a person I would blow up.

"By the way, I'm The Law." He said casually before leavening.

We'll at least that explained how we got here. I wondered who the other creepers once were. Were they Aureylian, and Vintage, and so many others who had been suffering for years.
