Chapter 3: Violent rage
Jake slept peacefully, aside from tossing and turning a few times. He was thinking of something very unusual. Blood, murder, knives, and other violent things. "Mmmmm... sweet taste of flesh..." he sighed, chuckling somewhat sinisterly in his sleep.
Then, he was awoken by someone calling his name. Groaning, he opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Izzy, Cubby, and Skully staring at him with concern. He yelped and jumped up, extremely annoyed. "What the heck?!" he growled. "What do you think you're doing? Being all up in my face while I sleep. What's the matter with you all?!"
The three took a few steps back, a little nervous. It seems that Jake was a lot more cranky waking up than the other day. But why was he so cranky? "Sorry, Jake." Izzy said. "But we thought you were dead."
"DEAD?!" Jake shouted, now even more annoyed as he advanced towards his friends. "Why on Earth would you all think I was dead?! Are you out of your minds?!"
Izzy, Cubby, and Skully were all now officially scared. They hadn't meant to anger Jake. First he's cranky, and now he's calling them out for thinking he was dead. "We're sorry, Jake. But we did think at first you were dead. I mean, you're covered in blood." Izzy pointed out. Jake was so close to slapping his friend across the face, until he looked down at himself, and realized that she was right. He was covered in blood. His clothes were stained in the red liquid and they were a little torn. His mouth was even smeared with blood.
"Odd..." He muttered. "How did this happen?!" He demanded, now looking back at his friend, who just shrugged. He snarled and took a threatening step forward. "We don't know. You were the one who slept on the beach all night." Izzy once again pointed out. Jake was about to shout until he noticed that they were indeed outside the hideout on Pirate Island. "Weird..." he muttered again. "I don't remember what happened last night."
The others nodded, but were still scared. First the wild hair, then the meat craving, then the fast running, then the high jumping, and now short temper. The only times when they saw an angry Jake was when Blake was doing something annoying, but he had never ever been angry towards them. Jake's expression softened a bit. "You know what. Let's just forget about it, and let's eat breakfast."
With that, Jake walked back towards the hideout. The others stood in their spots for a few more minutes before following their leader. They find him, all bloodied on the beach, and he was brushing it off like it was nothing. What in the world? Then again, he had no memory of the night before, so maybe they should forget about it. But they had to find out how it happened, because they were worried for Jake.
The menu for breakfast was pancakes, much to Jake's dismay and rage, but he accepted it anyway. When he found out that they weren't going to have meat that day, he almost flipped over the table. But it was Izzy's soothing words that calmed him down. She figured that if they go to Never Land again, Jake wouldn't be so enrage. Once they reached the island, the Dark Pirates were waiting for them.
"Perfect..." Blake whispered sinisterly. "They'll walk right into our prank. I can't wait to see their faces."
As Jake, Izzy, and Cubby approached the forest, The evil pirates approached them, holding something behind their backs. "Ahoy..." Blake greeted slyly. "Wonderful weather we're having... that is... until the rain starts coming in today." Rain? What rain?
Jake sensed that something wasn't right. He looked around suspiciously, before grabbing his friends, and jumping out of the way of Blake, Lizzy, and Charlie spraying them with water guns. They missed. "Wow, Jake. You saved us." Izzy said gratefully. Jake grinned, before yelling out when water hit him. Blake laughed as he walked towards them. "Well, you might have escaped the spot where I was suppose to hit you, but I still got you! Ha, ha, ha."
What Blake didn't know was that Jake was going to be even more unhappy than he thought. Jake, now extremely enraged, threateningly stepped towards the villain and grabbed him by his vest collar. "You know... I didn't like that prank..." Jake snarled sinisterly. Blake starts to get confused. He hadn't seen Jake so... so... furious before. He may have seen him very mad before, but this time he looked even more enraged than before. "Woah, Jake. It was just water-"
Blake wasn't able to finish his sentence when Jake threw a punch at his cheek. "I'm gonna teach you a lesson about spraying me with water." Was what all Jake said before proceeding to beat the living heckout of Blake. Both his and Blake's mateys watched with horror. Jake was throwing punch after punch after punch all over Blake's body, not even caring if he cried out in pain. He just kept going harder and harder, up to the point where Blake started to bleed.
Not wanting to see their leader being killed, Lizzy and Charlie tried their best to help him, but Jake would just growl at them, causing them to back away. Thinking fast, Izzy grabbed one of the water guns they dropped and started to spray the boys. Jake immediately stopped, and sent a death glare in her direction. "What the heck was that all about?!" He demanded. Izzy dropped the water gun, and stood back. "I'm sorry, Jake. But I had to. You were really hurting Blake."
"He freaking deserved it!"
"But not such a harsh beating."
Jake growled, and then stared back at Blake, who was crawling away in fright. He was bruised and bloody all over, and he was afraid. Why did Jake overreact to his prank? Okay, he did it before, but this time, he really overreacted. Jake glared at him. If looks could kill, Blake would have been dead already.
"You just watch yourself, you jerk." Jake warned, his voice almost demonic. "If you get in my way again, you're dead!"
With that, Blake got up and ran away, with his friends following behind him. Jake sneered and stormed off. Izzy, Cubby, and Skully were all even more scared then before. Jake had just beat up Blake, until he was on the verge of death. They were even afraid to follow Jake now as he continued into the forest. When he realized that he was alone, he stopped and turned back to the others. "What are you guys waiting for? Come on unless you want me to drag you!" He called.
That's when they ran up to him, and started to followed him. Jake smirked. "That's a good pirate crew. Now, let's go!"
All day, Jake had ordered his friends around, screaming at them for messing something up. When they tried to talk to him, his glare would always shut them up. Later that night, the menu for dinner was vegetable soup. Even though it wasn't meat, Jake accepted it. When dinner was over, the crew were getting ready for bed. They had twenty minutes before lights out, so all of them spend their time doing what they liked. Cubby spent his time coloring, Izzy was listening to her music box, Skully was eating crackers, and Jake was reading a book. The odd thing was, the book he was reading was a horror story, which made Izzy curious as she walked over to take a look.
Noticing the pirate girl, Jake turned the book away in annoyance. "Do you mind?!" he asked, very annoyed. Izzy took a few steps back. "Sorry. I just wanted to know what you were reading."
Jake glared at her. "Well, don't get so close to me. It's a werewolf novel, and I would love it if I could read in peace."
I need to talk to him. I need to find out what's wrong with him. Izzy thought as she took in a deep breath. "Jake... please tell me what's wrong. You've been acting really strange lately. Ever since you got bitten. First, you're hair is all wild, then you start to crave meat, then you start to run faster than usual, then you start jumping at high heights, and now you have a short temper. Shorter than usual. Tell me what's wrong, and I can help you. We all can help you... what's happening to you?"
Izzy was hoping he would answer, but instead he slammed his book shut, and stood up. Now he was very angry, and it scaring not only Izzy, but the others as well. Jake growled and threw the book down to the floor. "You wanna know what's wrong...?" he asked. "I'll tell you what's wrong. What's wrong is that you guys are pissing me off!First you think I was dead, then you don't serve meat today, then I get sprayed with water, and now you're asking me what's wrong?! That's what's wrong! You all are pathetic, worthless, and you all need some sense smacked in to you-"
SLAP!
Before Jake could even finished his sentence, a hand struck him across the face. He rubbed his sore cheek as he glared at Izzy, who stepped back, saying quietly. "I'm sorry. But I had to... I think you're the one who needs sense knocked into you... what is happening to you, Jake... why are you so violent-"
SLAAAAAAPPPPP!
Izzy screamed out in pain as Jake has struck her across face about ten times harder then how she hit him. Cubby gasped in shock while Skully cringed. The pirate girl fell to the floor, in tears. There was already a deep red hand mark on her cheek, and it was throbbing rapidly. Jake snarled and walked towards her and was about to attack her once again when Cubby jumped in between them. "Jake, don't hurt her!" he whimpered.
"Yeah, calm down, matey." Skully added.
Jake growled and stepped back. "Okay."
The others were about to sigh with relief when Jake grabbed his book and threw it at them. They dodged, but not before Jake threw another thing at them, this time it was his pillow. Soon, Jake was going on a raging rampage. He started to throw item after item, something hitting and missing Izzy and Cubby. Since Skully could fly, it was hard to get him. "Jake! Please Stop!" Izzy pleaded, but she was ignored and hit with a vase, leaving a few cuts on her arm.
After a while, Jake stopped, breathing heavily. The others was hoping he was done until they saw him eyeing something near Izzy's bed. Izzy looked until she noticed what he was looking at. It was her music box. She looked at Jake and the back at the music box, and gasped. If she didn't do anything soon, he was going to break it as well. As fast as she could, she made a dash for the music box, just as Jake did. She tried to grabbed it, but Jake has jumped in front of her and grab it, holding it high so she couldn't get it.
"Please, Jake. Not my music box. It was a gift." Izzy pleaded with mercy, reaching for the box. Jake held it even higher. Now here was an even more scary thing. Not only was Jake about to break the music box.
He was also smirking evilly.
Smirking.
"Do you really want your precious music box?" Jake asked in a taunting voice. Izzy nodded, still trying to reach for the box. Jake chuckled, and looked at the wall. Izzy noticed and gasped, knowing what he was about to do.
"Well then, catch!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
But it was too late. Jake had hurled the music box at the wall, the box breaking into pieces as it made contact. Izzy was once again in tears as she ran over to her broken music box. Jake chuckled, and turned to Cubby, who cowarded in fear. "Do you wanna be next?" he asked with fury. Cubby shook his head in fright. Jake growled, and then noticed Cubby's drawings on the floor. Smirking, he picked them up and ripped them to shreds.
"NO! Not my drawings!" Cubby exclaimed, now also in tears.
Jake dropped the used to be drawings, and stormed out of the room. "You all just better watch yourselves... or you're dead!" he threatened, before slamming the door shut, leaving his friends crying in fear. Skully tried to comfort them. " Don't worry mateys... maybe Jake is going through a phase..."
Izzy wiped away a few tears as she carried the remains of her music box to her bed. "I've never seen him so... vicious before..." She whispered. Well, there was when Jake was possessed by evil lava, but he wasn't himself then. But he isn't himself now. What could be happening to their leader? What? They looked at their room. Jake had practically destroyed it. Things were on the floor, glass was broken, paper was thorn, and more things were broken.
"I can't believe he would do all of this..." Cubby said, looking glumly at his torn up pictures. "Do you think something is bothering him, but he doesn't want to tell us?"
Izzy shrugged. "I don't know, but I think something happened to him. Something that's making him this way... and we have to find out."
Just as she said that, a crash was heard outside. "And it looks like we have to find out right now!"
... Okay. If you're officially afraid of Jake right now, raise your hand. (Raises hand). Wow, he sure has gotten violent. Kind of a call back to 'The Wrath's Revenge', don't you think? Well, that's it for this chapter. Things will get a little hairy in the next chapter, so expect it either Wednesday or Friday. It all depends, since I have a project to work on for school. Anyways, peace out guys, and don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
PS: In your opinion, what do you think is the strangest change for Jake. The wild hair, the meat craving, the fast running, the high jumping, or the short temper?
