Epilogue
*Toby's POV*
I felt my face press against something soft. My entire body ached from coming home and falling from the sky, practically. Rolling over, I looked at the sky. It was blue, and fluffy, square white clouds floated across it lazily.
"I'm home," I whispered, pressing my face deeper into the grass. "Home at last." And although I was as happy as the next person to be back in Minecraft, my heart ached at the knowledge that Cinnamon would never be able to return to her home again.
I pulled myself to my feet and gazed around. Everybody else seemed to be having the same reaction as me. They were all stumbling; acting like it was their first time walking on square legs. It sure felt like it to me.
Aaron27 was just staring at us all, unsure of where to begin. Then his eyes fluttered to something behind me, and I heard him croak out something barely audible.
"C-cinnamon?"
Nutmeg rounded on him, her eyes narrowed with anger. "Don't even talk about this!" she snarled at Aaron. "Cinnamon is dead. No thanks to you, we weren't even able to retrieve her body."
Grief welled up inside me as I sat down, and something wet rolled down my cheek. I watched Aaron stagger forward, his eyes wide and questioning. Turning very slowly, I followed his gaze to a girl slumped on the grass.
Long brown hair covered her pale face, and she was clothed all in black. It was not Cinnamon527.
*Aaron27's POV*
It was my sister as I had seen her that day, so many years ago. Back when she abandoned my father out of annoyance and left to go, Notch knows where. Wow, it sure felt weird thinking about Notch again. I hadn't done that in forever.
I walked past Toby stiffly and bent down beside Cin, brushing her hair out of her face. Yes, it was definitely her.
She groaned in protest as I pulled her into a sitting position and her eyes flickered open. Yes, they were the same misty blue as before. And then I felt something hit the back of my head. It was a rock.
"I don't know what you want, Aaron, or who this person is, but she is not Cinnamon, and you are not our friend," somebody growled. "So both of you can get out of here, understand?"
It was Toby, of course. He was always annoying. And a noob.
I reached up to gently touch the back of my head and felt it sticky with warm, fresh blood. Tearing off my sleeve, I made a temporary bandage around my head and stood up.
"If that is what you want," I said, my voice strained. I turned, ready to teleport away, when another thought struck me.
I bent down to lift Cinnamon's chin. "AutumnLover?" I whispered. "Is AutumnLover alive?"
"Aaron!"
Spinning around, I saw a pale girl, about 14 or so, running toward me. She had pale-toned skin, auburn hair, and green eyes. Freckles were sprinkled across her nose, and a scar streaked down her face, over her right eyes. This girl had matured a lot, grown much taller, about my height now. But she was still recognizable as my sister.
"Autumn," I whispered as I ran out to hug her. It had been many years, about 4, since I had last seen my sister.
A cough sounded behind me, and I turned around to see my sister-by-blood rising to her feet. She was staring at the ground. "I kept her alive for you, brother," she whispered gently. Then she lifted her head and looked at everyone in turn.
"Who are you?" Nutmeg asked, nervously taking a step back.
Cinnamon let out a long, sad sigh as her gaze traveled over Deadlox and Via and Sky and Toby and all the others. "I am Cinnamon527," she said quietly.
*Toby's POV*
This was 100% impossible. Until Deadlox decided to speak up.
"It is her," he whispered, his voice a mere croak. "It's Cinnamon."
Everybody froze, staring at her. She met each of their gazes, one by one, until they looked away. I didn't even look up.
Cinnamon walked up to each person and whispered something, which I think is just about as much as she could do at the moment. When she got to me, she merely stared at me with sad, misty blue eyes, before walking around me and away.
I spun around, staring after her. She didn't look back.
*Katherine's POV*
I walked through the forest along an unknown path, millions of thoughts swirling through my head. They hadn't known it was me. I especially hadn't wanted to come back. I was dead, for StarClan's sake! Oh, that's right, I was in my world now. For Notch's sake. For Notch.
But I just could not believe I hadn't said anything to Toby. Just walked away instead of facing the truth. That was not me. Not me at all. So where could I go?
I couldn't go to the Nether. Herobrine was there, and he'd throw me out. Notch, why would I even want to go there?
The Cat Army… No. Not an option. Absolutely not an option. That was not my home anymore. I'd hand the place over to Mhurley. Yes, that's what I'd do. Give her the Cat Army.
"But where do I go from there?" I dared to ask myself out loud.
"You c-can always stay with… me."
I stiffened at the voice, suddenly behind me. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I knew who it was. So I just stood them tensely, until he came up to stand next to me.
I sighed and took Toby's hand, not even bothering to look at him, fearing what my own reaction would be. "Okay," I said. "Let's go home."
*Author's Spectating*
Everyone else seemed pretty confused about the whole situation, but they eventually came to their senses and decided to go home. Deadlox and Via waved good-bye and went their separate ways, whilst Mhurley and Logemaster went home to the Cat Army together.
Once everyone had left, or almost everyone, Nutmeg dared to speak. "So, I guess I'll se you later then," she said awkwardly, glancing at Inthelittlewood out of the corner of her eye.
He didn't answer right away, and there was an awkward pause between them. "Uh, yeah, see you around," he said.
Neither of them left.
"Oh, for Notch's sake! Just hug and get it all over with so you can go home!" Ivy141 exclaimed, and the cautiousness between the friends instantly evaporated.
Nutmeg laughed, hugged Martyn, and then walked away along a path to her house. The other two left just as the sun was beginning to set, and in their hearts, everyone sort of knew they'd be seeing each other again very, very soon.
