CHAPTER 13

The other endermen started to back away, like they knew their mission was complete. A few completely disappeared. Some stayed, but they no longer paid any attention to us—they just milled around with their long arms swinging.

“No!” I wailed. I looked at the others and I knew the devastation on their faces must have been reflected on mine. I could tell they didn’t know what to do, either.

“Is there some way to track the crystal?” Destiny cried.

“The book was supposed to help us track it,” Alex said. “But it could be anywhere now.”

“Anywhere?” Yancy said. “No way. If it’s not in the End yet, it’s going to be.”

Think, Stevie, think! I ordered myself. Fighting battles wasn’t just about might, it was also about strategy. That’s how we’d been victorious in the past. But what kind of strategy could help us find a missing Enderman?

Then I thought of something.

“If I could be an Enderman, maybe I could track the Enderman that has the crystal!” I exclaimed.

Everyone looked at me. Even though it was dark out I could see they thought I wasn’t making any sense.

“Remember?” I said. “When the Endermen were searching for the first crystal shard, they were turning villagers into Endermen to help them look. Maybe if I turn into an Enderman, I’ll be able to sense where the crystal is and get it back.”

“But the people who turned into Endermen were brainwashed to think like Endermen,” Yancy said. “If you turn into one, you wouldn’t be Stevie anymore. You might even want to help the Ender Dragon.”

My excitement deflated. Yancy was right!

“Still, it might be the best chance we have,” Maison said. “We have the first crystal. And then maybe we can use it to turn Stevie back into a human.”

“If we can get Stevie to go back home and make sure to touch him with the crystal, like with the villager Endermen before,” Yancy said. The dryness of his voice told me he didn’t think any of this would work. “Like Stevie as an Enderman would really just let us lead him home peacefully? He’ll just disappear on us.”

“He might want to go back to his house because he’ll sense that first crystal, too,” Maison argued. “And the villagers who got turned into Endermen didn’t start to think entirely like Endermen—at least not right away. They said there was still some part of themselves in there.”

“They also said that part kept fading, and they would have turned fully into Endermen if we hadn’t saved them in time,” Yancy said.

I looked back and forth between my friends as they argued. They both had good points. My heart was pounding so hard I was surprised the others couldn’t hear it. Think, Stevie! I ordered myself, but I couldn’t think of anything else. There wasn’t time to wait for Dad to follow our note and find us. We didn’t even know where he was, or if he was okay. And I couldn’t come up with any other way to track the Enderman with the crystal.
