Jesse wasn't hearing anything, except for a loud roaring sound in her ears that went on and on and on, even though she knew Jace was just going to respawn, he was going to be just fine, but Hadrian had just killed her twin brother, who she'd really just found again, and even respawning wasn't going to change that. Slowly, she became aware of someone practically yelling in her ear.
Her head slowly swiveled to see Lukas touching her shoulder and looking at her in concern, his mouth moving but still not hearing him because he wasn't yelling anymore, he was speaking normally and Jesse couldn't hear that, not over the sound of her own blood rushing like a waterfall in her ears.
Her hand slowly moved, pushing his hand off her shoulder. "Excuse me," she said- or presumably she said it, because she couldn't hear anything, not even herself, "I need to go murder Hadrian."
And then she bolted forward.
Jesse had never known she could move so fast; she blurred past Harper, Soren, Ivor, Isa until suddenly Hadrian was looming up in front of her. He smirked at her. "You never know when to stop, do y-"
"No. I'm not listening to your bullcrap," Jesse snarled, slashing with her axe and missing as the Old Builder ducked under the attack, "I'm shutting you up, PERMANENTLY!"
Hadrian laughed, and Jesse lashed out again while he was off guard. He dodged, but not in time to avoid the axe that swished through the air and sliced his cheek. His eyes widened, and he paused, reaching up and touching his cheek. He looked at the beads of blood on his fingers, before he pushed her violently, knocking her back.
She flipped back onto her feet as Hadrian darted away-
"OI!" Magnus yelled, looking ticked, "You do NOT kidnap our friends and then get away with it!" and he yanked out a flashing block of TNT and hurled it over his head at the fleeing Old Builder, Em batting at it with her sword and sending it flying even further, so that it landed in front of Hadrian. Hadrian skidded to a halt and then dodged back, the TNT blowing a deep hole into the earth and revealing the pistons beneath it.
"Huh, like my old grinder," Soren hummed, but Jesse wasn't listening; she was staring at Hadrian, eyes blazing red, because there was no absolute way he was getting away with this.
Hadrian built a one-block bridge and waited at the other end, sneering at Jesse. "What? You're going to kill me? I'm not a noob like Mevia is, Jesse. You'd better hope you die just as fast as your brother."
Jesse's eyes blazed red, and she ran right at Hadrian, who laughed again. His sword flicked up at the last second, and Jesse moved both the axe and the sword to block-
The ringing force Hadrian hit her blade with sent both weapons flying in different directions, her axe bouncing a bit on the grass and the sword slamming blade first into the ground at Gabriel's feet, who jumped back, tripped, and knocked into Milo, knocking him over with a yelp.
"Weaponless," Hadrian jeered, "what ever will you do now-"
Jesse moved forward, rushing forward, dropping to all eights, eyes glowing bloody red and the expression in her eyes screaming bloody murder. Everything seemed to go black and white, except for three spots that glowed red- a spot on his wrist, a spot on his neck, and a spot on his chest.
Jesse lunged to her right and sank her teeth into Hadrian's wrist. As she did so, she felt her canines suddenly unsheath and two actually slightly sickening tastes filled her mouth- the metallic flavor of blood, and a sickeningly sweet taste that Jesse dimly recognized in her mouth.
Hadrian let out a yell of anger and pain and swung his hand, Jesse's teeth detaching from his wrist as he threw her off, feeling a faint sense of almost brutal pleasure as she saw the two tiny pricked areas streaming blood on his wrist, right on the veins.
And then she slammed into someone, plowing them both backwards.
Hadrian was no longer smiling- he was glowering at Jesse as if he'd like to murder her, his bleeding hand gripping a sword tightly and his free one gripping the sword just as tightly, the veins in his hands standing out from how tightly he was clenching it.
"Did you bite him?" Em asked, sounding almost faintly amused, as everyone raced over to Jesse. Isa's swords were shaking with suppressed rage, as evidenced by her green eyes, which were battling emotions in them so violently Jesse was honestly a little surprised she hadn't exploded by now.
Jesse didn't respond- just spat. A red substance that Jesse recognized as blood, and then a muddier one, almost purplish, also splattered the ground, making the grass wither slightly where it was on the ground.
Jace padded over, back in a white t-shirt and white shorts. He looked at Jesse, then back at the floor, and then he sniffed it. "Poison?"
Everyone's head snapped to look at her, Ivor's brow faintly raised, a faintly amused look in his eyes.
Even though Jesse knew that he was okay, she was still tense- anyone who poked her would probably get a sharp object in their face. Or their gut. Either worked. "Yes."
Hadrian started towards Jesse, beginning to build another bridge- everyone prepared to fight him- and then he froze, a confused look mingling with his rage. The hand that was holding an obsidian block, the one with blood streaming through his wrist, was beginning to turn purple.
At first, Jesse thought it was just because of rage- and then she realized that it was really turning purple, every Hadrian's left wrist and the left side of his body beginning to turn faintly purple, blood starting to leak out of his left eye, which was turning a dull red, and Jesse's breath was hitching because she'd never bitten a human before and she'd never seen the effects of her poison work like this, and every vein in the left side of his body was starting to stand out.
He slowly released the sword, which clattered into the pit below him, and his hands slowly reached up towards his neck, contorting.. and then he slowly fell backwards, Jesse's back now literally pressing into Ivor's chest, as Ivor's hand clutched her shoulder as she watched, horror beginning to replace her anger.
And then Hadrian disappeared in a puff of smoke below in the pit.
A/N: Yes, Hadrian respawns... but I had to write in poison. If you can figure out where I got the poison reference from, you get a shoutout!
Angry Jesse is scary Jesse.
Next two chapters are more like filler chapters.. actually more like next four or so xD I have no idea how many chapters it's gonna take to do this. And yes, I am dragging this out a bit, but who's complaining?
