"Okay, everyone, look away..!" Shouted Jesse, blinding himself with his arm.
Radar was the first to follow Jesse's instruction. Like Jesse, he put his arms over his eyes. Petra followed suit, knotting her bandanna over her head. Jack, being blind in one eye, sliding his eyepatch onto his other eye. Nurm covered his eyes in a similar fashion as Jesse and Radar, but he only used one arm.
The Enderman looked at the group, tilting his head a bit to the side. Then, he walked away.
"Phew, talk about escaping! We nearly got killed!" Radar shouted, startling the rest of the group.
"Yeah, on that note, how'd you escape earlier..? You know, before we, uhh.. Busted you out of that cell. Considering the TNT thing, you know." Jesse questioned, setting his gaze on Xara.
"Uhh.. What..? I didn't escape." Replied Xara, tilting her head in confusion.
"What!? You didnt escape..!? Then why did the officials sound the alarm..!?" Shouted Petra.
"Something strange is going on here..." Jesse replied, his head hurting from lack of sleep.
"Man, I just want all of this to just... End." Radar complained.
"Speaking of that, Jack, we're still going on our adventure, right..?" Petra spoke.
"Hell yeah..! The last thing I want to stop adventuring...!" Jack replied.
Meanwhile, Jesse was observing the conversation from afar.
Jesse tried not to be hurt, no, he attempted not to be hurt. But, deep down, he still was. She'll invite me... Yeah, she has to...! I'm her friend..! Thought Jesse, pushing the thought out of his head.
Suddenly, a thought came from seemingly nowhere.
Is she..? Because last I heard she was planning it without you..
Wait...Who are you...?
I am your subconscious... Your inner mind, so to speak. You really think Petra was ever going to invite you..? Stop lying to yourself, Jesse.
Stop patronizing me.. Get out of my mind. NOW. Thought Jesse, cursing to himself as he nearly tripped on a rock.
Your a good person, Jesse. You are a kind, good hearted, strong man. I only want what's best for you.
Yeah, right..! Like I'd actually believe you..!
Come on, Jesse. You should really think over this. Really, Jesse. What would Ruben think..? What would Magnus think? Since when has hanging out with disloyal friends ever benefited a person? Your better than this.. The voice said softly, almost no malice in his words.
Uhh, you do..? I mean, that's cool and all, but why patronize me to get your point across?
As you already know, I feel what you feel. Anger. Sadness. Joy. The works. Back then, you were feeling betrayed. Angry. I feel your emotions, but to a greater extent. I sincerely apologize about before.
That's alright, I guess. But..why? Jesse thought, depressed.
Trust me, Jesse. Believe in me... Let me guide you, teach you... Of course, I'm not forcing you. This is your decision. With me, you'll have good friends... Better friends... Ones who don't turn their backs on you... All you have to do is open your mind to me. With me, you'll finally be happy..... Doesn't that seem nice? The voice spoke thoughtfully.
Jesse thought, no, knew, he was lying. Still, a part of him latched on to the idea of having better friends.
Promise..? Jesse thought. Slowly, without waiting for an answer, he took a deep breath and opened his mind to his subconscious.
Heh...Promise...
The voice's tone while speaking that last statement really creeped Jesse out. Not only that, but Jesse was starting to feel pain in his head.
So much pain...
All of a sudden, images flashed across Jesse's eyes. They all came in a blur, disappearing as soon as they appeared.
Jesse found himself in a field, staring at the vast emptiness of the plain. He slowly sat up, moving his fingers, toes, and then the rest of his body. He turned around, getting a better view of his surroundings. Vast seas of green surrounded him, and where the fields ended, mountain ranges started. Jesse stared into distance. Something wasn't right...
As Jesse walked, he spotted something in the distance.
A.. person?
As Jesse walked closer, he noticed it was indeed a person. It seemed to be standing over the body of an unrecognizable creature.
As Jesse walked closer, he noticed the person wearing a cloak. The "creature" seemed to be squirming, squirming for release.
As Jesse neared the person, she noticed the pig was tied down. It was.. Ruben.
The figure removed their hood, revealing themselves to be none other than Petra. Said person grinned evilly, holding a jagged, shiny blade in her hand. It seemed to be rusted. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be..
No...
Petra raised the blade above her head, then jabbed Ruben with it. He squeaked in pain, looking up at Jesse with big, pleading eyes. Jesse was so shocked, he couldn't move. He just stood there, heart pounding. Heaving.
Petra, why..?
Petra pushed the blade into Ruben's flesh, the blade sinking deeper and deeper with a moist gooey sound. She then yanked the blade, the cleaver ripping through his flesh.
This couldn't be happening.
No, no, no, no-
Jesse growled, taking a step forward. He would protect his friend.
Petra laughed, and laughed...and...laughed. She flicked clapped her hands, and...
She was gone.
Jesse, heaving, growled.
"Petra, when I find you, you're gonna pay..!" Jesse yelled.
Upon hearing laughing, Jesse whipped his head around.
Nothing.
Jesse growled, seeing a figure in the distance, he reared back, charging at it. As he got closer, he could hear his heartbeat in his ears. His breaths were quick, as if nothing could escape him. Seeing the figure, he jumped, diving at it. He punched, and blood splattered everywhere. Upon closer inspection, he noticed something.
It was Ruben.
Jesse vomited, then looked at his hands. Bits of brain matter, as well as a pool of blood covered the ground and his fists. Jesse trembled from guilt at what he'd just done.
"N-no.."
All of a sudden, Jesse felt someone's breath on his ear.
"I hate you." Whispered Petra.
Jesse's whole upper body jerked up, and everyone around him jumped back in surprise. Upon looking around him, he saw Jack, Nurm, Radar, and..
Petra.
"YOU..!" Jesse screamed, lunging at her. He repeatedly started punching her in the face, giving her a black eye.. Two black eyes... A broken tooth..
All of a sudden, Jesse was ripped off of her, being thrown to the ground.
"JESSE..! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" Shouted Xara.
Immediately, Jesse began to feel incredibly guilty. He reached out a hand to help her up, but it was swatted away by Jack.
"Don't you DARE hurt her." He said, harshly pulling Jesse up and pushing him over.
Petra, held by Xara and Radar, looked betrayed and hurt.
"J..Jesse.. Why?" She pleaded desperately.
Immediately, Jesse's heart shattered into a million pieces.
"P-Petra, I'm sosososo sorry..."
Jack glared intensely at him, and Radar looked just as betrayed as Petra did.
"Go away." Radar spoke hatefully.
Jesse did as told, curling up into a corner and sobbing.
Alone.
