Chapter One: A Visiter
"Hey Petra, do you know who's gonna cook dinner tonight?" Asked Jesse following Petra into the kitchen.
"Lukas said he's busy later, so I might." Replied Petra.
"Okay, cool-beans." Petra smiled at Jesse's silly way of saying cool, but her smile turned to a puzzled expression when she stopped at the kitchen sink.
"Um, Jesse, why is there a squid in the sink?" Asked Petra, looking over to Jesse.
"Oh, I think that's Axel's." Replied Jesse.
"And why does he have a squid?"
"Huh, I actually don't know."
"Well, where is he?"
"Think he's in the construction room with Olivia." And with that said, Petra walked over to the other side of the temple where the construction room was and pulled the lever to open the door.
"Hey Axel, you in here?!" Exclaimed Petra, walking into the large, messy room.
"Hey Petra." Said Olivia, walking by while carrying a box full of redstone dust.
"Hey Olivia, is Axel in here?" Asked Petra.
"Yeah, he's at the back working on his time bomb."
"Thanks." It took about a minute to get to the back of the room since it so big, but Petra did find Axel, playing around with some TNT.
"Hey Axel." Said Petra.
"Huh, oh, hey Petra." Replied Axel, looking up from his pile of TNT.
"Axel, why is there a squid in the kitchen sink?"
"Oh yeah, that's a present from some guy."
"And who is this 'guy'?"
"Well, this morning, there was a knock on the door and no one was around to answer except me, so I went and opened the door and there was a short guy there and he said, 'hi, I'm Jonathan, is Petra in, I'm an old friend of hers' and I said, 'haven't seen her this morning' and he said, 'oh well here's a squid spawner egg, it's a peace offering to show that we're friends'. And that's how I got the squid."
"Wait, did you say Jonathan?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you know where he is?"
"Probably somewhere around town or something."
"Okay," Petra started to run back towards the door, but then she stopped and turned back around to look at Axel, "Also, get rid of that squid." And then she ran off again. She ran straight out of the room, not bothering to close the door behind her, and ran straight for the front door of the temple. Once she made it to the door, she pushed the button to open it and ran outside. Just before she was about to go down the steps of the temple, a voice came from behind her, one that she did not recognize.
"Petra?" She turned around to see a short, young man sitting next to the door with his legs up to his chest. He had short, dirty blonde hair with sideburns and he had dark blue-ish purple eyes. She didn't recognize his appearance until her memories from her childhood came back to her.
"Jonathan?!" She exclaimed, a smile emerging on her face. The short and handsome young man jumped up and ran for her and wrapped his arms around her torso.
"It's been a while," Said Petra, "you, haven't grown, much."
"I'm so glad I decided to sit on the step for three hours, just to see your face again." The man said, holding her tighter.
"After all these years, you show up now?"
"I just destro… uh, lost my home and I had no where to go so I thought 'hey, now that Petra's famous and I now know where she lives, why don't I go live with her for a while'." Said Jonathan, letting go of Petra. Petra had a little bit of a puzzled face at Jonathan's correction to his sentence, but looked over it, thinking it was nothing.
"Well, you're more than welcome to live with us." She said, directing him towards the door and to go in.
"So, Olivia will probably give you a tour and show you to the guest room while I go make dinner, sound good?" Asked Petra while closing the front door behind her.
"That sounds great, and thanks for letting me live here." Replied Jonathan, looking around at his surroundings.
"No problem, just don't screw up the place, it takes forever to clean… not that I do the cleaning, but still." She turned around to see that Jonathan had already started to wonder off, looking at every nook and cranny to find.
"Jonathan, I'm gonna go get Olivia, just, stay put!" She exclaimed.
"Uh huh, yeah, sure." He replied, not really paying attention to what she was saying. He turned around to look back at Petra to see that she had walked off towards the construction room. Seeing that he was now alone, Jonathan started to scrape his ear across the wall to hear for any secret rooms; he always had trust issues ever since Petra left him behind in the orphanage they both grew up in. As he kept on listening, he couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him, so he turned around to see a tall, muscular, handsome, and blonde man standing there, holding his bow out in front of him.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" He said.
"Lukas right, I'm Jonathan, old friend of Petra's," Replied Jonathan, approaching Lukas slowly, "I'm gonna crash here for a while."
"And why were you listening to the wall, shorty?" Asked Lukas, not bringing his guard down.
"SHORTY?! WHAT NEXT YOU'RE GONNA CALL ME AN OVERGROWN MIDGET?!" Yelled Jonathan, his face red with anger.
"Okay okay, I won't call you short, but you didn't answer me."
"Just listening to the walls to try and find a secret room, why else?" Replied Jonathan, "By the way, got any strengths, weaknesses?"
"Why do you need to know?" Lukas lowered his bow; he didn't have a good feeling.
"I suggest leaving me alone 'cause you don't wanna find out why."
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Said Lukas while walking away slowly, "I've got my eye on you." As Lukas walked out of vision, Jonathan continued to listen to the wall. All of a sudden, two other voices came from behind him, but this time he decided to continue listening to the wall.
"So just give him a little tour and, just get to know him." Said Petra, walking back with Olivia to where she left Jonathan.
"Is that him?" Asked Olivia, pointing at the short for his age man.
"Jonathan!" Petra exclaimed, trying to get his attention. He immediately turned around to look at the two girls.
"Jonathan, this is Olivia." Hearing the introduction, Jonathan went up to Olivia, went down on one knee, put his head down, held out his hand, and spoke.
"It's an honor to meet a friend of Petra's."
"Well, he's… posh." Said Olivia, blushing a little.
"Trust me, when you get to know him, he's a real slob." Replied Petra.
"Oh but I can clean up very fast, like The Wither Storm," Said Jonathan, standing back up straight. The two girls looked at him with puzzled faces. "I'm quite fascinated in The Wither Storm."
"PETRA! THERE ARE THREE CREEPERS IN THE BASEMENT!" Screamed a voice from below them.
"Don't worry Jesse, just stay as far away from them as possible!" Replied Petra, running off to join him, leaving Olivia to deal with Jonathan.
"So… this is the main room." She said, trying to start the tour. For the whole tour of the temple, Jonathan didn't say a word. They ended the tour upstairs, where the bedrooms were.
"And this is the room you'll be staying in," Said Olivia, showing Jonathan the inside of his room, "You have your own bathroom as well."
"Thank you for the tour of your home, but, may I ask where Petra's room is located?" Asked Jonathan while looking around at his room.
"Yeah, she shares a room with Jesse, and their room is located right next to yours on the left."
"Thank you… also, when is dinner?"
"It should be at around seven-thirty."
"Thank you, I will be in the kitchen at that time."
About half an hour had past until it was seven o'clock, and Jonathan was already in the kitchen, even before the chef was in there.
"Um, Jonathan, why are you sitting on top of the fridge?" Asked Petra as she walked through kitchen door.
"No reason, and… I'm stuck." He replied.
"Can't you just jump down?"
"I'm too short to jump down."
"You're too short to be able to get up there." Hearing this comment from Petra, Jonathan's face turned red from anger and embarrassment.
"Look, just jump down, I'll catch you." Said Petra, holding her arms out in front of her. Seeing this, he decided to jump down, landing right on top of Petra, knocking her down.
"'Sup." He said while laying on top of her. Petra started to blush but quickly looked away. Jonathan quickly realized how awkward that moment was and got off of Petra, just before Jesse walked in; however, he did see Petra still laying on the floor after having someone fall on top of her.
"Petra!" He exclaimed while running over to her.
"I'm okay." She replied while getting up. Jesse then looked over to Jonathan who was slowly walking away from the scene.
"Hey!" Exclaimed Jesse, getting his sword out, "Did you just attack my girlfriend?!"
"No, he didn't attack me, he's my friend," Said Petra, pushing down on Jesse's hands, making him lower his sword, "I guess you two haven't met yet?"
"No." Said Jonathan while putting his finger in his ear to get out some earwax.
"Oh, well… Jesse, Jonathan. Jonathan, Jesse." Said Petra, her eyes darting to each of them every time she said their names.
"I am looking forward to getting to know you Jesse." Said Jonathan, putting his hand out for Jesse to shake it, the same hand Jonathan had put in his ear, but Jesse shook it anyway. Jesse had already forgiven him for the misunderstanding, even though he didn't even know what exactly had happened.
"So what's gonna be for dinner?" Asked Jonathan as the two boys finished shaking each other's hands.
"Probably steak, which reminds me, I need to start cooking otherwise we're not gonna have anything." Replied Petra, hinting towards the two to leave her to cook. The two took the hint and left the room.
"So… you two are together?" Asked Jonathan.
"Yeah, we've been together for a while." Replied Jesse.
"And, how long have you known each other?"
"Since I was six years old, how about you?"
"I've known her my whole life. She was my first and only friend." There was a silence for a while until Jonathan spoke up again.
"How did you feel about Petra's wither sickness?" He asked. Jesse's face immediately changed from bored to scared; he hadn't thought about that in months.
"How do you know about that?!" He asked.
"I have my sources." Jonathan replied, a smirk appearing on his face. Jesse thought nothing of it, thinking Petra may have told him about it.
"Well… see you at dinner?" He asked after another silence.
"Most certainly." Replied Jonathan.
Another half hour later, everyone (except Lukas for he was busy) were sitting around the kitchen's island.
"Where's mister kitty cat?" Asked Jonathan, referencing Lukas.
"He's busy." Replied Petra while bringing over the cooked steak.
"Oh well, so you're Axel, right?" Asked Jonathan, turning us head to face him.
"Yeah." Replied Axel.
"Nice to meet you." Said Jonathan while giving him a big smile. Once the steak was put on the kitchen island, everyone dug in. Petra was the second best cook in the temple next to Lukas, who was the best. As they ate their steak, they all talked and got to know Jonathan and they all thought he was a nice guy. After they all finished their food, they all headed into the living room where they all had a drink or two, well, except Jonathan and Petra, they don't drink. It eventually hit twelve o'clock and everyone started to head to bed.
"So, I hope you enjoy staying here with us." Said Petra, following Jonathan upstairs to go to bed.
"Oh I will enjoy staying for sure." He replied, opening the guest bedroom door.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Asked Petra while opening her door.
"Yep." They waved each other goodnight as they both closed their doors. Now that Jonathan was alone in his room, he smiled sinisterly and spoke to himself.
"Now that's settled, it's time to get down to business."
