Thinking Of You
Chapter One: The Darkness
Petra opened her eyes as the screams from Jessie and Jack faded. The gauntlet on her hand ached like hell as it slowly tightened.
"What in the hell?" She looked around and started to spin in place.
It looked like the whole world began to crumble. She had a short glimpse of Beacontown before even that disappeared to the void. Second after second the colour in the world, the time, the structure ceased to exist.
"Holy crap!" all she saw was full on black. "What happens now?" She couldn't move and she couldn't look around. Suddenly, the voices of Jack and Jessie could be heard for a split second. It sounded like they past her. Screaming.
"Ohh… Petra?" the Admin walked up behind her.
"What did you do…. To them." It had only been 5 minutes in the void. And already he was talking to her.
"Nothing that they didn't deserve."
"So why didn't you send me wherever the others went?!"
"Because you deserve everything."
Her gauntlet glowed dark red. "What are you doing?"
"So you still care about your friends?"
"What do you think, you dolt?"
"Well you best switch out your likings."
Her face seemed confused as the Admin walked around her slowly.
"What I want you to do… be, is be my champion."
Petra went into shock after realising what he meant.
"What makes you think i'll ever do that."
"Because you're the only one who has ever took a stand against Jesse."
"And anyways…. I have this."
"Jesus Christ." Petra fell to her knees. The light showed everything she held dearly in her heart.
"Now, we have things to attend to. Champion…"
—
5 Hours Later...
—
It had only been a few hours and she already can't shake what the Admin showed her. The Admin told her to give in but she remains resilient. But she know she is going to see Jesse again.
"Petra, it's time."
She nodded in pure disagreement with what would happen. The Admin put his arm around her.
"We're going to see your friends. And to make sure you're still my champion…"
A flash of red colored her clothes and her gauntlet launched an attack against her body. The Admin walked back as she the electric travelled all the way around her body.
Meanwhile….
"What the heck is happening?!" Jesse started floatin as everyone around him disappeared from the Zombie Mines.
"Nurm, stay behind me okay." Jack said as they all stared at Jesse,
Smoke appeared around the room and there appeared Petra.
"PETRA!" She pulled out her sword as The Admin appeared next to them.
"Of course it's you…"
A few minutes passed and Petra remained silent. She couldn't break out of the power that the Admin had summoned upon her. It wasn't controlling her, Yet in a way it was.
"Now as for you. I've been waiting for a chance for you to prove your loyalty." He pointed at her. It was time. Her body refused to do what her brain said. The grounds of the prison started to rise as the battleground was being formed.
"Don't think I believe in fair play Jesse." Jesse gave her a look of disbelief. Petra just glared back at him. "Now we can have some real fun…"
Petra slowly walked up to him a battle stance as her body felt like it had power of the brain. She was somewhat overpowering Jesse.
And all of sudden… Jesse fell to the ground. He was knocked out after not even trying to fight back. "Bravo! Bravo! I knew you had it in you."
"JESSE!" Jack shouted as he fell to the ground after the Admin let go of them.
"I see great things in you Champion. But the first thing you need to know….. It wasn't me who attacked Jesse. It wasn't my power. You did it yourself."
"What do you mean I did it?"
"You had full control of the situation. Don't worry.. you'll learn to like it."
They teleported out of the Prison just in time before the ground started to open. They landed back in an abstract building. Petra had already slapped herself so many times within 5 seconds and she slowly looked down at her hands.
"How did I just do that?"
"Because there's evil in everyone, Petra. And you just let it loose."
He looked out a large window with his hands behind his back.
"All you need to do is embrace it."
