Chapter Nine: The Game
When Jaden finally awoke a few hours later, a good amount of the pain had subsided, and he got some of his strength back. The brunette let out a faded moan and tried to sit on, using his elbows to prop himself off the bed.
He hissed in pain the entire time, but managed to slip his shirt closed once again, and then he managed to slid his boxers back up, after taking a look to see his thighs.
Sure enough, there was blood on his thighs, among other things that indicated having sex, or in Jaden's case, being raped.
Jaden frowned and pulled his boxers over his legs, though the pain became unbearable for a split second. He let out a weak cry, and then shifted his legs so that he could pull on his baggy blue pants that he had been wearing, which the Other Jesse had discarded before violently defiling him the way he had.
The brunette rose to his feet, with some help from the bed and the wall, and managed to limp his way into the kitchen, where he could hear the Other Jesse.
When he stumbled into the kitchen, he saw the Other Jesse standing by the oven, his tall, six-foot form forming a slight shadow that stretched across the kitchen floor. The Other Jesse's bone fingers were busy cutting away at a carrot, and when he heard Jaden's weak hiss of agony, he glanced over with a smirk.
"Ah, Jay, you're awake," he said, placing the knife down and rubbing his hands on his jeans to clean them off. "Good. I was starting to think I over did it just a little bit."
Jaden cast him a weak glare. "You raped me, you disgusting bastard," he whispered.
The Other Jesse scoffed slightly. "You know I love you," he said, tilting his head back slightly and locking his black button eyes with the brunette's weak, pain-filled brown eyes.
Jaden's anger flared up almost instantly.
"You-" He calmed down after a second and took in a deep breath, the pain in his body multiplying when he made a sharp move. "-have a strange way of showing that."
The Other Jesse gave a chuckle. "Yes, well..." He let the sentence go unfinished.
Jaden said nothing as he weakly sat in one of the chairs, a quiet, pained moan escaping his lips. The Other Jesse turned and walked towards the counter, where he had been cooking.
The brunette glanced over and noticed that the Other Jesse was very focused on his work, and didn't seem to be interested in anything else. Jaden looked down at his hands and wondered where the real Jesse was. He wanted to see him, even if he had been raped by someone. He wanted to let Jesse know how sorry he was that he had let it happen.
"So... how about we play a game?" Jaden turned to the Other Jesse.
The Other Jesse stopped cutting the food up and glanced over his shoulder slightly. He seemed intrigued. That's exactly what Jaden wanted him to be.
"Oh?" he asked, wiping his hands on his jeans again. "And what type of game, Jay?"
Jaden felt himself getting angry. Jesse, and his friends, were the only ones who could call him by his nickname. Not this monster who had raped him and forced his boyfriend to witness it all.
"It's Jaden," the brunette spat bitterly, and when he calmed, he continued. "And it's a finding game."
"And what are we looking for, Jay?" the Other Jesse asked.
Jaden narrowed his amber brown eyes. "The souls of the children you killed, and the real Jesse," he muttered angrily. He was going to win this fight, no matter what. The Other Jesse tapped his chin and seemed interested in the choice.
"Hmmm. Interesting," he said.
He walked around slowly, as if contemplating the suggestion that Jaden had put out. Jaden could hear his boot tapping the floor each time he took a step, and it sounded slightly ominous.
"Very well, Jay. We shall play your little game," the Other Jesse said with a smirk. "But, surely, there must be something at stake in order for us to play such a game, right?"
"That's right," Jaden nodded.
The Other Jesse folded his arms across his chest. "So, what happens if you find them?" he asked.
Jaden pursed his lips. "Then you let them go, and you let me go as well, and you never bother me or my friends ever again," he yelled to the bluenette who'd stolen Jesse's appearance and raped him.
"...And if you lose?" the Other Jesse asked.
Jaden looked down to the ground and couldn't believe he was about to say this. "Then I stay here with you."
The Other Jesse smirked wickedly. "Heh heh. Very well," he said, agreeing to the terms of the game. He slowly extended his bone hand to Jaden to shake it to strike a deal.
"Ah-ah! Not so fast!" Jaden tore his hand back before the Other Jesse could touch him.
"What?" the Other Jesse asked, rather bored.
Jaden glared. "Even if I lose, you have to let the souls of the four people you have eaten, and Jesse, go free!" he yelled. The Other Jesse raised a fine blue eyebrow.
"That all?" he asked.
Jaden shook his head and pointed at the beldam. "And you have to give me hints as to where they are!" he explained. The Other Jesse folded his arms slowly across his thin chest.
"...So, either way, those I have captured, and your boyfriend, go free?" he asked, and Jaden nodded to confirm it. "Very well, Jay. Deal." The Other Jesse reached to shake Jaden's hand.
"Ah! The hints first!" Jaden pried his hand back again.
The Other Jesse sneered. "Very well. In each of the things I have shown you, the children's souls are hidden there. They can be anywhere in this entire world of mine. Be thankful the world is so small," he muttered to the brunette.
Jaden nodded and locked eyes with the bluenette beldam.
"...And Jesse? I need a hint to find out where Jesse is," he demanded, his voice low and harsh.
The Other Jesse said nothing. He smirked and raised his bone finger, and tapped it against his right button eye for a few seconds with his nail, making it clink as he did so.
Jaden narrowed his eyes and turned away.
"Tch. Fine," he scoffed bitterly. "Don't tell me."
Using his arms to help guide him, Jaden pushed himself up off the chair and groaned weakly in pain as it coursed through his body. He turned and rushed for the door as soon as some of the pain dulled, instantly regretting the action. He hurried out the door before the Other Jesse could stop him, and went off to pursue the souls of the four lost children and his true boyfriend.
Me: All right, go Jay!
Lucy: Now, he's on a quest to find Jesse and the souls of the kids that the Other Jesse has devoured as well! But, will he be able to find out where they are in time?
Me: Please review if you want to find out what is going to happen in the next chappie, guys!
Lucy: Please review nicely, and we shall update soon!
