Here's the second half of the battle. By the way, anybody want to tell me the name of the actor who plays Jesse so I can become obsessed with him and hate this battle sequence later on? Kidding, considering that the guy I mentioned last chapter (dishonered villian turned current obsession) is in my icon, Jesse's a little young for my tastes.
I take in the scene before me quickly. Rory is screaming like a madman and trying to pry Benny from Jesse's grasp from his perch on Jesse's back while Benny is screaming out of terror and Jesse is flailing around wildly trying to shake off Rory.
Ethan and Erica come to stand on either side of me.
"What do we do?" Ethan whispers.
"This wasn't in my plan," I mumble.
"Well, we have to improvise," that was Erica.
"Get me out of here!" Benny bellows.
"Coming buddy," Ethan lurches forward and I grab his arm to stop him.
"No!"
"But..."
"We can't cause more chaos!"
Jesse kind of laughs at us...that's when I remember that Rory has a stake. Right now there's a slight space in between Jesse and Benny.
"Rory..." I kind of hiss whisper..."stake!"
"Huh, stake?" he's confused for a second..."Oh!" the stake plunges into the center of Jesse's chest and he howls in pain before crumbling to the ground in a pile of ashes why Benny and Rory both fall to the ground with loud "Oof!"
"That went smoothly," Erica mumbles sarcastically.
"Okay we'll..."
"You'll clean this up and I'll take stupid here, home." Erica finishes gesturing to Benny as she speaks.
