Chapter 13

Jesse & Leslie

The Treehouse

31 October 2006

Jesse and Leslie were excited to be arriving back at their home. They had never felt better than when they were here. They were safe from the world, they could escape; or so they thought.

"We're here, Les; Terabithia."

"We're safe; we're…wait, do you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"Someone is here. It feels familiar, but I don't know who."

Leslie and Jesse slowly approached the Treehouse, and Jesse began to hear a sound. It sounded like…sobbing. Jesse began to feel nervous; he knew those sobs. He just hoped it wasn't who he thought it was. His hopes weren't to be fulfilled. Sitting on the edge of the Treehouse was a small girl. She was wearing dirty clothes, and looked like she hadn't slept much. In her arms was another baby girl, quietly sleeping, but also dirty.

"May Belle. What's wrong?"

At the sound of Jesse's voice the girl looked up. A small smile appeared on her face, but tears continued to fall down her face. Jesse ran up to the Treehouse and held his sister.

"What's wrong, May Belle? And why is Joyce Ann with you?"

"Oh Jesse! I…it's h…horrible. I…I c…couldn't stop him. He…he…"

Leslie climbed up the Treehouse and sat next to May Belle.

"What happened, May Belle? Tell us."

"He…he…he came for you, Jesse."

"Who came for me? I was with the Company, they wouldn't come. Who was it?"

"A…a man…Dark eyes…I hid with Joycie…he c…c…cut open their…their h…heads…one word…"

Leslie was looking terrified at what May Belle was saying.

"Wh…what was the word, May Belle?"

"S…Sylar."

Leslie backed off at the mention of the name, a look of terror in her eyes. Jesse didn't see this, focussing on his sister.

"What happened to mum and dad? Where are the others?"

"…"

"May Belle, please what happened? What did this Sylar do?"

May Belle remained silent, but Leslie spoke up, in barely a whisper.

"He killed them."

"What?"

"Sylar killed your family. Right, May Belle?"

May Belle only nodded. Leslie approached May Belle and looked in her mind, using telepathy, seeing what happened…

May Belle

Aarons House

29 October 2006

May Belle was walking back from Terabithia towards her house. However, something wasn't right. The front door was open, and there was no sound of the television or radio. She slowly approached the door, and looked inside, seeing her parents and a man.

"Who are you, what do you want?"

"I want you to tell me where your son is. I can force you to tell me, I won't feel remorse."

"I won't tell you where my son is."

The man standing there smiled.

"If that's the way you want."

The man inside gestured, and May Belle could see the knives flying towards her father. They embedded themselves in his wrists and ankles, pinning him to the wall. She could hear her father's screams of pain.

May Belle saw her mother rush at the man, before a stream of blue air hit her. May Belle couldn't see for a moment, but then saw her mother frozen solid.

"Never try attacking me from behind. I don't take too kindly to it."

May belle was shaking in fear at what she had seen, when a voice came from the room.

"Why are you doing this?"

May Belle looked around and could see Brenda and Ellie in the room. The man inside seemed to remember and turned to them.

"You were just in my path. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

The man held his hand in a gun position and aimed it at Brenda's head.

"Bang."

And he pulled what would be the trigger; there was a sound of bones shattering, and Brenda dropped dead to the floor.

May Belle was in tears as she watched her sister fall to the floor, and was shaking worse than ever.

"You monster, leave my girls alone."

"You are in no position to be ordering me around."

May Belle saw the man raise his arm, before gesturing with his fingers and cutting her father's throat. May Belle was nearly overcome by tears now, and watched as the man approached her sister.

"Wh…who are you?"

The man gave a slight grin and said:

"I am Sylar."

Before gesturing with his fingers, and cutting Ellie's throat. The man looked around before exiting by the back door.

May Belle was frozen outside, unable to move. It was only the cries coming from upstairs that roused her thirty minutes later. She went and collected Joyce Ann, comforting her, rocking her gently, before going to the lounge, collapsing to her knees and crying amidst the remains of her family.

*********************************************************************

Leslie was shocked away from May Belle after seeing the memory, tears streaming down her face. Leslie approached May Belle, and put her hands on her cheek.

"I am so sorry you had to see that, May Belle. That was horrific. No one should have to see pain like that."

Jesse looked confused.

"What did she see?"

"She saw death. She saw Sylar kill your parents and your sisters."

"Can you show me?"

"I…I'll try."

Leslie concentrated, tapping into the telepathy, placing the memory into Jesse's mind, letting him see it. When Leslie finished, she fell to the floor of the Treehouse tired. Jesse was shaking. He looked at May Belle and held her in a tight embrace. The siblings just cried in each other's arms. They remained that way for what seemed like hours, before Joyce Ann disturbed them by waking. May Belle went into the Treehouse with Joyce Ann, leaving Jesse and Leslie alone together. Jesse sat on the edge of the Treehouse, not saying a word. Slowly, Leslie approached him.

"Are you OK, Jesse?"

"What do you think, Leslie? My parents are dead, killed horribly. My sister witnessed the deaths, she's scared. We are alone. Finally, my parents were killed because of me. That man was looking for me; and because I wasn't there, everyone else paid the price."

"You can't blame yourself for what happened. Sylar is a monster; he doesn't care who he hurts, he just wants more and more and more."

"Why do you know about him?"

"He is the one who gave me intuitive aptitude; the one who gave me the hunger. It is still there, I barely have it under control. Sylar doesn't want to try to control it; he has let it overwhelm him, wanting to gain more and more power and knowledge. He is a monster that needs to be stopped."

Jesse looked Leslie in the eye. She has a hard edge to them that he has never seen before; however, beneath that, he is able to see her tiredness.

"Les, you've been using your abilities too much, you need to rest."

"No, I need to find Sylar."

"There's no point finding him if you're tired and unable to use your abilities at your strongest. You need to rest. Sleep, we can go see someone who will help us."

Leslie finally settled down to rest, leaning her head on Jesse's shoulder.

Jesse, May Belle, Joyce Ann & Leslie

New York

2 November 2006

"Why are we here, Jesse?"

"We're going to see a friend I made while looking for Leslie; she will be able to help us locate Sylar."

Leslie sighed

"Jesse, are you sure I will be safe to take this ability; I may lose control?"

"This ability, I know, is highly stable and very easy to use, no surprises. Plus, Molly will be there to be able to teach you how to use it."

"But…but this is where the…the painting said…"

"I know, I know Les; I promise I won't hurt you, though. I would never hurt you."

Leslie nodded and the group of four proceeded inside the building.

*********************************************************************

"Jesse!"

A young girl jumped from her bed and hugged Jesse.

"Hey Molly, it's good to see you again. How are you?"

"I'm OK. But…but my power still isn't working."

Jesse nodded and turned to the others.

"Molly, these are my sisters, May Belle and Joyce Ann, and this is Leslie."

"Hello."

"Hello Molly."

"Molly, I need you to help Leslie learn how to use your power. We're trying to find someone, and need to stop him. His name is Sylar."

Molly suddenly backed off, a look of shock on her face, shaking in fear. May Belle was the first to react.

"What's wrong, Molly? Why are you shaking?"

"The bogeyman."

"What?"

"He's the bogeyman; he killed my mum and dad."

Everyone looked shocked at that revelation, before Leslie came close and hugged Molly to her.

"Molly, I know how you feel. But I need you to teach me how to use your power. I need to stop the bogeyman, stop him hurting anyone else. The only way is if I can find him, and you're the only one that can do that."

Molly looked up at Leslie and nodded.

"I will help you find him. Please, just stop him."

"Thank you Molly, I will. How do I use your power?"

"Just concentrate think about the person you want to find, see his face in your head. Then close your eyes and you can see them."
