"Where is Steve then?" He glanced at me and I pointed to the stairs. "He's asleep, went to bed around 30 minutes ago before you came over," I grumble, looking away from him.
                          
Notch had taken a seat next to me on the couch and he sets a hand on my knee. Which caused me to flinch, thinking he was going to hit me. "do you want to be slapped?" I snapped at him, glaring. 
                          
He rolled his eyes and took his hand off of me. "Calm down, how many times do I have to say this?" He asked, crossing his legs. 
                          
I look away, even if it was hard for him to see my eyes through the white haze. "Yeah right, how can I stay calm when you are who let me die?" I growl. 
                          
I started to think about Steve and my features softened. Just thinking of him was making me calm down and I shook my head, trying to keep my anger up. 
                          
"Do you love Steve? That cannot happen in this realm." Notch pinned me to the couch, which caused me to flinch. My heart had dropped at the angry tone I heard in his voice. 
                          
"Why not? He was the one who confessed to me first! He loves me back" I challenge at him and Notch started to choke me, glaring. "I will not let you have Steve. Something could end up going very bad!" He tightened his grip. 
                          
I managed to pry him off of me and I tried to catch my breath. "Make me! I love him too much that it overpasses how much you had loved me!" I bare my teeth at him, growling. 
                          
Notch glared and pulled out his sword. "Fine, play it that way if that's how you are going to react. Then, I shall strip you from your powers so you can be with him" He points his sword at me and thrusts it into me.
                          
I gasped and I screamed in pain. The sword had jabbed into my shoulder and I grip it with my hand on my good shoulder, yanking it out before it could take all of my powers away. I look at my wounds on my hand and shoulder before looking up.
                          
Notch was gone... Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt that sting in my heart again. He hated me. I saw it really this time. He wasn't happy at all with my feelings. Especially when I told him that I was with Steve. 
                          
He had stripped my powers away, but I knew I still had a few. I still had my teleportation, summoning, and my flames. Everything else I had, it's gone now. 
                          
I cover my face with my unhurt hand as I started to cry. I didn't even notice that I had fallen asleep afterwards.
                          
"Herobrine! Herobrine!! Are you okay?! What... why are you bleeding?" Steve's worried voice had startled me awake and I looked at him.
                          
Did I fall asleep? I started to sit up, only to hiss in pain as my shoulder erupts in pain. I look at my shoulder then my hand. Oh, there was blood everywhere. Even on the couch.
                          
"Notch... He did this to me" I said through the pain and Steve gasped. He wiped the tears as they fell down my cheeks. I laid back down to ease the pain. 
                          
Steve took my shirt off as careful as he could. "He did this? Why did he do it?" He asked, tending to the wounds with his medic kit. He was worried for me, his voice was shaking. 
                          
I told him everything that happened, from when he went to bed all the way until I had passed out. Or at least I tried to. 
                          
"So... You are no longer a king... T..that means the mobs have no one to look up to... Oh boy oh boy oh boy... This is bad" he started to panic and I didn't know what to say as he continued. "You can't go back to your castle... Oh, we are doomed! Y..You can stay here until we can get your rank and powers back!" He looks at me, which shocked me.
                          
I thought I was staying here anyways since I knew I didn't like my castle as it was very lonely being in there. I smiled anyway, he was going to help me. 
                          
Though, it faded quickly as it came. Notch never told me anything of how to get my powers back. He never told me how...
                          
"We might have a slight problem, Steve. He never told me how I could earn them back. So I don't know think we are going to get them back.." I bury my face into my hands, feeling defeated. 
                          
I hear Steve gasp and grasp my wrists, pulling them from my face. "We will find a way to get them back! We must!" He bit his lip as he then tried to think of a way to keep my mind off of it.

                          
He got up and held a pickaxe to me, "Do you want to go mining with me in hopes of keeping your mind off of our situation right now?" He tilts his head. 
                          
I stare, sitting up. Though it hurt very much. "I shall try. I'll even try to keep you safe, Steve." I took the pickaxe with my good arm, though wounded hand. 
                          
Steve gave me a nod and he helped me up. He gave me a backpack, which was black, and he kept his own brown one. Then we headed to the mines. 
                          
Though, I had to cover my face with my black hood as we walked. I didn't want to get hit straight on with the rays. 
                          
Steve looked over and gasped, "Right! You burn in the daylight! Oh no. Uhh.." He started to look for something to shield me from the sun. 
                          
I just chuckled and shook my head, "I'll be fine as long as we get there as quick as possible" I reassure him.
                          
He nodded and he grew quiet the whole walk. I was quiet as well, except for the occasional hisses I would let out due to the sun burning parts of my skin. It was bad that there was no clouds in the sky at all, so I was getting hit with all rays of the sun...
