Totem Of Undying
***Beckys POV***
Surprised, Lukas rubbed the back of his head as he fumbled, "Oh, well, I mean, I was mostly joking—-" I chuckled to myself.
Cassie went over to Jesse and Lukas, firmly deciding, "I guess that's fair. But I'm keeping guard because I still don't trust him. That cool with everyone?"
"Is that ok, Lukas?" Jesse asked, to which his friend honestly replied, "Well I'd prefer NOT being locked up in a closet." Ivor spoke up, reassuringly saying, "It's fine, Jesse. I'll watch over Lukas."
Ivor, Cassie, Winslow, and Lukas walked away, heading for the closet Stampy mentioned. Lizzie, Dan, Stacy, Stampy and I split up, staying in the room but going off into different areas. Stampy and I sat across from Lizzie and Dan; Stacy eyed a picture on the wall.
Lizzie turned to me and said, "Thank you, for, ya know, saving my life back there." I nodded my head, replying, "Anytime!" Dan asked with confusion laced in his voice, "How DID you survive that axe to your back?" "Yeah!" Stampy added in amazement, "I've never heard of someone surviving from a wound like that!"
I went through my inventory, pulling out a tan doll for my friends to see. "There called Totems Of Undying," I revealed, "This doll can only be dropped by an Evoker, located in a Woodland Mansion. If the person (with a totem in their inventory) receives fatal damage, it will prevent the person from dying. It will take the person down to half a heart, then provide forty seconds of Regeneration. The totem is then destroyed...."
I sighed, staring down at the doll as I revealed, "Before we met, I... my friend and I.... we stumbled upon a Woodland Mansion. The two of us managed to search the building, finding a ton of loot. We managed to kill two Evokers; my friend insisted I hold onto them for us..." I sniffled, petting Ari's head, "She survived the Woodland Mansion, but.... She didn't make it...."
Lizzie, Dan and Stampy looked at each other, surprised written all over their faces. Stampy patted my shoulder, commenting gently, "I'm so sorry for your friend..." Though my friends memory was breaking my heart, I smiled as I revealed, "You would have really liked Corrie. She—-"
BAM!
Everyone jumped and spun around towards Stacy. Jesse has punched a portrait of the White Pumpkin, revealing a secret passageway behind! I stood up and limped my way over, studying the passageway. Jesse kept rearranging a block of sand, a green flint arrow, and a diamond axe in item frames, puzzled.
"Arrow, sand, axe." I couldn't help but note, defending myself when Jesse raised an eyebrow at me, "Arrows killed TorqueDawg, sand killed Captain Sparklez and a axe almost killed Lizzie and I." Though Jesse was suspicious of my deduction, but he proceeded to put each item in order of each person dying....
Click!
Clank!
Clunk!
Doors near the back of the secret passageway opened, leading further inside. Jesse smiled, "Thanks!" I nodded, "Of course!" "Oh, wow! You got it open!" Stampy applaud, standing with Stacy, Dan and Lizzie. Petra walked over to Jesse, ordering, "Yeah. You guys should stay here—- it could be dangerous."
"Nooo, I totally want to follow you into your friends creepy secret passageway." Stacy sarcastically rolled her eyes. I half glared at Stacy, warning, "Stacy..." "AUGH, seriously?!" Petra groaned with annoyance, "You really think LUKAS did it?!" Stacy pointed out, glaring at Petra and I, "You haven't proven that he didn't yet." I shrugged "Fair enough."
Jesse stopped our argument by advising, "Hey, come on—- Cool it! We're all in this together, aren't we?" Stampy shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest, proclaiming, "Depends. Figured you'd be on your little buddy's side."
Petra groaned, telling Jesse, "Ugh, you know what?They're not worth it. Come on." Jesse and Petra walked further into the secret passageway; Dan, Lizzie, Stacy, Stampy and I turned around and went back into the mansions room.
Everyone is so on edge right now! Stacy has never acted this way before, though she is quick to blame others when evidence points to someone. I understand why everyone is super nervous, but that doesn't give anyone an excuse to be mean!...
Wait a second.... The White Pumpkin wields a diamond axe... Cassie is really handy with a axe.... I traded three diamonds to Cassie for a couple of emeralds I needed to trade with a Villager for a enchanted bow....
Oh....
No.....
"Hey Becky, have you seen Stampy anywhere?" Cassie inquired. I jumped up with a yelp, spinning around to face her, "Oh! Uh, yeah, hi!" When Cassie crossed her arms over her chest and stared at me with suspicion in her eyes, I backpedaled nervously, "Uh, er, Sorry. You caught me thinking about... stuff..." Gosh dang it, why do I have to be so bad at lying???
"Oh? Like what?" Cassie sat across from me, raising a eyebrow. I sat down and began fiddling with my hands as I responded, "I was thinking about who the White Pumpkin might be." Cassie seemed surprised, taking an interest as she inquired, "Really? Who do you think the killer is?!"
I hesitated.
Once I side-glanced Stampy, Lizzie and Dan, I whispered my question, "What did you do, with those three diamonds I traded you?" Cassie's eyes widen; her jaw almost dropped open, but she hissed angrily instead, "Are you insinuating that IM The White Pumpkin, Rebecca Laura Kingsley?!"
"Wh-What? No no no!" I shook my head, attempting to lie, "I-Im simply curious! I just wanted to make sure you didn't lose your diamonds, especially since the White Pumpkin might need more diamonds for his axe... W-Why aren't you guarding Lukas with Ivor?"
An unsettling look fell in Cassie's face as the redhead revealed, standing up, "Lukas had to go to the bathroom; Ivor went to keep an eye on him. I didn't go, cause, ya know." I nodded, "Yeah, that would have weirded me out too...."
"I wanted to ask Stampy if he had any slime blocks he wouldn't mind trading to me, but it appears he isn't in here," Cassie smirked a tiny smirk, placing a firm hand on my shoulder, "Hey! Why don't you help me find him? I'd hate it if something bad were to happen to him—-"
