CHAPTER 11

FRIENDSHIP WILL ONLY WEAKEN YOU, STEVIE, SAID the menacing voice. It was so close it felt as if it could have been whispered in my ear. But I knew better. It was the voice of the Ender Dragon, speaking straight into my mind.

“Get out!” I shouted, gripping the sides of my head.

“Stevie, what is it?” Yancy cried, his eyes widening. “Is it . . . her?”

I knew she would never leave me alone for long. The Ender Dragon loved to torment me, to try to make me her servant. She whispered all sorts of sweet promises I knew were lies, but sometimes she sounded so convincing I believed her for a while. I needed to fight her evil power!

You think you can trust this boy, Yancy? she continued. I tried to have a friendship once upon a time. There was one whom I would have given my life to protect, only to be betrayed by him.

What was she talking about?

She chuckled cruelly. Oh, Stevie, you think you know so much, yet you know so little. I will be free soon, even if you get this next crystal.

It sounded like she was admitting that her minions couldn’t get to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, I didn’t doubt that her powers were growing stronger.

Of course, she went on, you could get the crystal for me. For us. You and I could work together.

That was definitely a lie. She only wanted the crystal for herself, no matter how much she attempted to make it appear otherwise.

Yancy was trying to speak to me in a frantic voice. I couldn’t make out the words and I jerked as if I could shake the Ender Dragon out of my head. Then Yancy seemed to be calling to the others, telling them to get over here.

It’s a very big monument, she said. I could help you.

The others were swimming over, alerted by Yancy. The Ender Dragon’s voice sounded so loud in my head that I still couldn’t make out their words when they tried talking to me. I could just see their scared faces. Right now, the only sound I could hear other than the Ender Dragon was the elder guardians’ roars from above.

Even as we speak, you’re losing air, she said. Yancy knows what it feels like to almost drown. You’ll know the same feeling soon enough, but there will be no “almost” about it.

I couldn’t stop shaking my head, trying to get her out. She was targeting my worst fears.

Accept it! she was yelling now. You’ve lost!

“You said friendships will only weaken you!” I shouted back. In front of me, the others heard and looked really confused. Since they couldn’t hear the Ender Dragon’s side of the conversation, it had to look especially confusing and chilling. “So why do you want to be friends with me?”

Friends? she repeated. We are not talking about friendship. We are talking power, the power you and I could have together.

I didn’t know what to do.
