Jessie raised her left arm and pointed behind her. Fox followed her arm and was shocked. Jessie had pointed to her own ship. When Fox looked back at Jessie she had her blaster pointed at his head. Fox didn't understand why she did this.
" Why Jessie? Why did you shoot me down?" Fox asked completely shocked. But as the shock began to fade it was replaced with anger. " Tell me why!"
" Look over there." Jessie said pointing towards where the front of Fox's Arwing was pointing. Fox didn't turn his head. He wasn't about to take his eyes of her with that blaster in her hand. " Don't worry I won't shoot you, yet. I have more honor than that Fox."
Fox reluctantly turned his head. He saw that downed ship. At first it didn't really seem like much but then he noticed it was a Wolfen. But not just any Wolfen it looked like Wolf's. Fox looked back at Jessie and from the angle he was sitting he noticed her left eye was shadowed. He then knew who it was she reminded him of.
Wolf O'Donnel.
" Is your name really Dowels?" Fox asked Jessie with suspicion. He was surprised when she laughed.
" Yes, you see my father took my mothers name when they got married in secret. And you know who my father is, don't you?" Jessie said with a smirk. But it quickly faded. She looked at Fox with disgust.
" Yeah. It's Wolf O'Donnel isn't it." Fox said watching her carefully.
"Bingo McCloud, you got it right. Now another question for you. Do you know why I wanted to bring you here and dispose of you?" Jessie said with pure hate in her voice.
" Because I was Wolf's rival." Fox said simply.
" Wrong McCloud. It's because of what you did 10 years ago on this very day. You killed my father. He wasn't doing anything wrong and you killed him." Jessie said practically screaming at Fox. He just sat there looking perplexed. " Don't you remember. You came and shot him down. Let me give you the full version of the story. It was 10 yeas ago a week after my tenth birthday. My dad promised to bring me to Macbeth to have a picnic with him, my mom, and Leon. Because they were so busy on my birthday. Leon being my father's best friend and most trusted comrade said he'd come because I begged him to. He was a pretty nice guy once you got to know him. Well, my father brought me here in his Wolfen and while we were waiting for my mom to come he was flying me around letting me get a good look at the scenery. Then you showed up and tried to take us out. He brought me to this mountain range and dropped me off so I'd be safe then led you off. I watched as you and my father fought but in the end you destroyed him. I saw him go down. I could hardly take it. Then I saw Leon coming but Falco took him out. Don't worry Falco will get whats coming to him. Well, after a long and agonizing climb down I reached my father. He was still alive but had fatal injuries. He tried to say something but didn't have the strength. I was only a child and couldn't do anything to help him. I saw tears streaming down his face. He somehow found enough strength to whisper 'I love you', then he, died. I didn't want to believe he was dead at first. I wanted it to be a terrible dream. But it wasn't it was real and after I realized it I went wondering around not knowing where I was going. Then I was picked up by some air force pilots who were sent out to find me turned out my mom spilled the beans before she died. There was an accident back at home and she told the doctors where my father and I were. My mother didn't have any family, so I was kept on Macbeth since there was nothing for me back home."
When Jessie finished she had tears streaming down her Face. Fox was beginning to feel awful. He had no idea what he had done. He looked at her with a sympathetic look.
" Oh Jessie, I'm so sorry but I was informed that Wolf was in the area and was told to take him down. He had done awful things in the past, he was a wanted criminal. Besides I never really meant to kill him." Fox said.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She had watched Wolf die. No child should have to watch their father. Jessie immediately wiped the tears from her eyes and gave Fox a hateful stare. But the look in Fox's eyes made the hate in her heart weaken. He did look truly sorry.
" Besides killing me won't bring him back. And I don't think your Parents would want you to do this." Fox said softly
" Actually my father would love it but my mom wouldn't." Jessie said with a slight smile. Now she was confused on whether to finish this or not.
" Jessie if you stop now nothing bad will happen to you. I'll make sure you don't get into any trouble." Fox was trying to find a way not to be killed after all that blaster was still pointed to his head. Then Fox thought of something. " What about James? Do you want to hurt him?"
Jessie seemed to freeze. Killing Fox would definitely hurt James. She didn't want to hurt him. Jessie was torn up inside. Half of her wanted to kill Foxand make him suffer for what he had done. But the other half didn't. She stood there just looking into Fox's eyes. His eyes were like James' only the were somehow different. They had more pain hidden in them then James' eyes. Jessie couldn't bring herself to kill Fox even though a part of her still hated him. She gave up to her heart which said to let him live. And now that she thought about it thought of killing Fox didn't have as much meaning as before. Jessie suddenly heard the sound of Arwings approaching. Falco and James were coming, but why.
They soon came into sight and so did the Great Fox. As Falco and James landed Jessie put her blaster away. James jumped out of his Arwing and rushed over to Fox. Jessie watched James drop to his knees and then he gently hugged Fox. Falco walked over and looked Fox over.
" How'd you know to come here?" Fox asked Falco as James helped Fox to his feet.
" Well first there was an explosion that caught our attention and Slippy saw it. He told us to get over here. So Fox, what happened?" Falco asked looking around as if he thought they would be swarmed any moment.
" Just an accident that's all." Fox said now looking at Jessie. Falco apparently didn't believe this. He looked at Jessie.
" Jessie what happened?" Falco asked watching her carefully. When Jessie didn't answer Falco laid his hand on his blaster. Jessie looked away from Falco and at Fox. Falco thought she was hiding something. " Jessie I asked you a question."
" Just as Fox said It was an accident." Jessie said. Falco took his hand off his blaster and walked over to Fox. He and James helped Fox to James' Arwing.
" We'll come back for you Arwing later ok Fox." Falco said.
Fox only nodded. They all boarded their ships, Fox with James, and they took off heading to the Great Fox.
