(Sky's POV)

"Hello? Wake up. There's breakfast. Jerome! Help me wake him!" Ah, Mitch and Jerome. I almost woke up, about to call for Dad. Good thing I stopped myself.

"Mom, how do we know he's not dead?" Mitch questioned. That was rude.

"Mitch! What happens if he heard that?" Jerome...maybe I should ask Dad if Jerome needs justice. On the bright side however, he is not rude like someone else in this room.

"Heard what?" I asked in a completely innocent voice keeping my eyes closed. Last night. I found what my personalities towards them will be. I will be shy, timid, kind, and helpful. That, hopefully, will gain their trust.

"AHHH!" They both screamed in unison. I kept a confused look on my face, trying to hide all my laughter. I can't just give away my identity like that.

"Boys? What happened? I heard screaming." The 'nice' mom said. Nobody can be that nice, especially strangers. I'm looking forward to revealing all her dirty little secrets. At least when she came here, I had a chance to slip on my sunglasses.

"Child, there is no need to wear sunglasses inside." Of course...mom. You know, I wonder if I said that out loud, how many sarcastic things do I need to say to break her. Now that I mention that, I have a plan! I can 'accidentally' call her Mom, then get all water works. That's what humans do, right? Maybe not, I have to be sure...

"I have a condition, I need to wear sunglasses, even at night! It sucks..." I said quickly, but not suspicious, just quick pauses.

"Wow, even at night?! How do you see?" The boy (or bear, I can't really tell...) that I assume is Jerome said. 

"Heh..." This is awkward..."Yah...it does suck sometimes. I got called Herobrine when I was little because my eyes had a white glow." Not yellow, not yellow at all. "That's why everything is brighter than it seems."

There was a small silence between the four of us. Mitch broke the silence. "So, we never got your name...do you want to tell us what it is?"

No, not really. "My name is Sk-Steve. My name is Steve...Ammmm" Think Sky! "My name is Steven Amethyst." What the heck?! Why Amethyst? I get Steve, but why Amethyst? Ugh whatever, my amulet that I just so happen to always have on (and that I completely forget about most of the time) my amulet that looks like it has amethyst in the middle.

"Cool! Is that where you got your necklace? From you parents?" Jerome unmindfully asked. My cover story was that my parents died in a fire, or was it my village died from a raid. The raid sounds like a cool way to die... If I was asked this question when my parent died, I would've laughed. But I have to stay human, a shy, kind human.

I tried to fight the 'tears'. And it 'didn't work'. I 'cried' and sniffled and didn't respond.

"Ohhhh...." Finally that furball caught on! "I am so sorry! I didn't mean it! I swear! I'm really really sorry!" Think Sky, accept apology or decline it?

"It's ok, really." That seems like Steve, right? A kind person accepts apologies, right? "At least I have something to remember them by." Sky wouldn't do that...wait a minute. Why am I talking like that?! Sky and Steve are both ME! I'm NOT going crazy.

"Well...breakfast is down stairs if you boys want it. Steve, there are some clothes on the drawer to your right. You can keep them, good thing your smaller than Mitch, all his old clothes that he didn't wear, I can give to you." Again with your fake smiles!

"Ok, thanks!" Again with my fake emotions. "Wait! What are your names?" It's not like I know them. I just want to know your name Mitch's mom...

"Well, that's Mitch, in the plaid. Jerome is the fuzzy fur ball. You can just call me Ms. Hughes."

Do I want a nickname? I don't really like Steve....Ste? No...Ve? Vee? Ven! "Well...Ms. Hughes, I like to be called Ven...It's a nickname my parents gave me..." I completely regret getting a nickname for myself...

"Nice to meet you Ven!" I need to hurry up and get Mitch captured....

•••••Time Skip•••••

" I'll see you later Jerome! Ok dood?" Dood? What the heck! Seriously, who says that?

"See ya later, biggum!" What the heck is a biggum?! Am I missing something?

"THAT'S MY LINE!" Mitch is screaming but with a smile on his face...that's weird...

"Goodbye!" Jerome has that same expression, now that I think about, they were all like that the whole day...

"I'll see you tomorrow!" Ms. Hughes called out. She has the same expression...is it fake?

"I had fun Jerome!" I didn't want to be to attached, but I just can't help myself. I'm NOT allowed to be attached, I have a mission to fulfill.

Ms. Hughes shuts the door and I go to the guest room. I have to make up an excuse going there. Why do I even have to make an excuse? If I tell them I don't have to lie! I stop for minute and run my arm. They will never accept a monster like me, I'm the son of Herobrine,  I'm storng, I don't get attached.....I'm a monster, a murderer.

I enter the room and turn on the lights. For some reason, this room doesn't feel the same as it was this morning. Now it's eerie, I am after all living in a dead person's room. Didn't I think that was cool last night though?

"Ven! Wait up!" It was Mitch. I don't feel like doing my mission anymore.

"Hey Mitch!" Excuse, what was my excuse!

"We could still play games downstairs you know..." Crap! What was my excuse?!

"Why did Jerome have to leave? We were having so much fun..." What just came out of my mouth?! That wasn't my original excuse, it was that I wasn't feeling well. That was a lie...but I didn't even think about what I was saying, I even sounded like I meant it!

"Jerome promised his parents that he would be home at nightfall..baccas...I can never truly understand them..."

"Oh okay, but can me and you go mob hunting once the mobs come out?" I can't become attached. I have to complete my mission before it's too late. No matter the cost.

"Sure let me ask my mom!"

I will capture him, I WILL capture him, I WILL CAPTURE HIM! I don't care if he is my friend! We only spent a day with each other! There are secretes! There has to be secrets, or else he's not human!
