Narrative POV

"Jesse, wait!" Alexis yelled, but she was ignored. Jesse launched himself at Giese, tackling him out of the hospital room. As the two landed in the hospital lobby, nurses and other shrieked. Giese snapped his fist forward, punching Jesse in the face. Jesse fell back and Giese jumped up, running out of the hospital. "Jesse!" Alexis ran to the doorway.

"Stay there, Alexis!" Jesse whipped his lip and removed his coat, tossing it into the room. "Don't you dare leave for anything, I'll be right back." He jumped up and started chasing after the very man that's haunted his dreams for the better part of his life.

"And what if you don't come back!" Alexis yelled after him, clutching the doorway as she leaned out to watch him run.

'Good question.' Jesse's eyes narrowed as he saw the back of fleeing figure he as pursuing. 'No, not fleeing. Leading. Giese doesn't run from anything, but he will lead anything to where he wants.'

As if to prove his point, Giese looked over his shoulder then, smirking when he saw Jesse pursuing him. "Catch me if you can!" He picked up the pace, weaving in and around trees and other obstacles, hoping to trip up Jesse.

"Giese, you don't want me to catch you!" Jesse flipped over a bench that Giese tried to make him slam into. Jesse heard his sick laughter just before he lost him in a large crowd of pedestrians. "Get out of my way!" Jesse yelled, shoving more than one person out of his way.

"Hey, watch it punk!" someone barked, trying to grab Jesse's arm to jerk him back.

"I don't have time for you!" Jesse slammed the side of his hand against the man's wrist, causing him to yelp and retract his hand. Jesse, now free, took off running in the direction that he last saw Giese going. He slowed down when he came to an empty parking structure. There was a sign at the bottom that lead into the building:

'CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. NO PEDESTRIANS BEYOND THIS POINT.'

Jesse frowned and walked right past the sign, jumping over the stripped bar that would keep all vehicles out. The building was dark, all back up lights flickering on and off. Jesse was tight with nerves, ears awaiting any sound that would lead him to Giese's current location.

"Do you remember your first hunt?"

Jesse spun around, but there was nothing behind him but the dimming lights of the streets. He turned back around and ran up the incline to the next level. Giese was a hunter to the bone, and all hunters love their vantage points.

"Come now, Jesse. Don't be rude."

Someone kicked Jesse's legs out from beneath him, sending him flying forward and skidding across the asphalt. He coughed and forced himself to his hands and knees, gasping for breath. Before he could catch it, someone kicked his chest again, causing him to roll onto this back. He managed one gasp before a steel-toed boot ground into his chest.

"You weren't a very good hunter." Giese frowned and tilted his head, looking down at the gasping teen. "You still aren't."

"I don't kill for fun like you!" Jesse punched Giese's knee, forcing it to buckle in the opposite direction he was meant to. Giese hissed and shifted his weight from his injured knee, giving Jesse enough room to roll out from beneath his foot.

"Yet look where you are!" Giese began to stalk around Jesse, who was crouched now, mimicking him. "You're second-in-command of a gang!"

"Both leaders I've served under despised killing! Jaden never even killed anyone until last year, and he still didn't kill right out! He waited until he had no other option!" Jesse stood up straight. "You're trying to make me and my friends seem more like you, Giese, but it won't work. We're nothing like you!"

"You really believe that?" Giese chuckled and shook his head. "Boy, I never pegged you for being this stupid! You've surrounded yourself with murderers! Do you even know what your buddy Jim did in the last year, with Axel's help?"

Jesse paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Your buddies went back to Australia, where Jim dealt with his backstabbing buddies the way you guys taught him." Giese took one step toward Jesse. "The way I taught you." Giese spun around quickly and kicked Jesse square in the chest, sending him skidding on his back.

He groaned in pain, mind reeling at Giese's words. He knew about Jim's past in Australia, the way his buddies ruined his life by pinning a series of murders on him. But would Jim really go back home and get revenge by killing all of them? And would Axel help?

The answer was obvious: yes.

Jesse slowly stood up, looking at Giese, who was smiling. "I can see it in those emerald eyes of yours, you know what I'm saying is true."

"You're a fucking liar, Giese. You always have been and you always will be."

"Your words hurt."

"You're about to find out how much worse I can make you feel." Jesse launched himself again at the man before him. Giese ducked and caught Jesse around the waist, flipping him over his back and throwing him down to the ground. Jesse landed on the downward incline, groaning in pain, and rolled quickly down it. He finally came to a stop when a boot landed on his side.

"Big words for such a small bug." Giese raised his foot and slammed it back down on Jesse's side. Jesse cried out in pain, curling into a ball as he clutched his throbbing side. "Still think you can hurt me?" He kicked the side he just crushed, forcing Jesse to roll a few more feet away; the Southerner was gasping for breath, trying to keep from sobbing pain. "It hurts, doesn't it? Now you know how I felt when you disappeared on me!" Giese grabbed Jesse's shirt collar, pulling him up so he could look him in the eye.

"I took you in, raised you like my own, and how do you repay me? You run away!" Giese held Jesse up by one hand and punched him right in the gut, causing him to cough up blood. "You ungrateful worm!" He threw the teal-haired teen, stalking toward him slowly. Jesse was gasping and trying to stand up.

"The worst thing is that when I finally found you that brat Jaden Yuki got in my way." He kicked Jesse's back, forcing him to roll over. He dropped to one knee and grabbed Jesse's hair, yanking his head back so he could look him right in the eye. "Once I finish with you and your precious girlfriend, his is next on my list. Fuck my leader, I'm getting my revenge on him next."

"Jaden didn't do anything to you!" Jesse snapped, only to cry out in pain as Giese twisted his head back by the hair.

"He stopped me! He beat me! He saved you!" Giese pulled Jesse's face up, so close that Jesse could smell the liquor on his breath. "And I don't forgive anyone who gets in the way of what I want." Giese released his vice grip on Jesse's hair and stood up, staring down at the broken boy at his feet.

"And what are you going to do after you get revenge on Jaden? The leader of the Skulls will only come after you next!" Jesse looked up, seeing Giese simply shrug.

"I'm not afraid of some pansy that can't even give orders face to face. For all I know he's some bedridden old man."

"And if he isn't?"

Giese smirked. "Still doesn't matter. You see, Jesse, I already know what I'm doing after I get my complete revenge."

"And what's that?" Jesse tried to sit up, but pain speared through him and he fell back down, crying out.

Giese laughed. "I'm taking on a new protégée. In fact, I already have the perfect person in mind."

Jesse narrowed his eyes at him. "Who?"

Giese smirked. "Your daughter of course."

Jesse's heart stopped, breath catching in his throat. 'Maria…!'

"She'll make the perfect student. Her parents are both very strong, even her grandparents are impressive." Giese nodded. "Oh yes, she's perfect."

"You are not laying one finger on my daughter!" Jesse said, voice tight with temper.

"Tisk, tisk, Jesse. You can't stop me. You can barely stand up." Giese pulled a gun out of his pants, pointing the barrel at Jesse's head. "Sorry, Nephew, but I guarantee that you won't be as lucky as your girlfriend, who's luck has run out by the way." He released the safety. "Goodbye for good."

Jesse jumped up, grabbing the hand that held the gun and forcing it to the side. His other hand came up to grip Giese's throat tightly. He forced the hunter against a wall, forcing him up the wall so he was gagging. "I'm not going anywhere!" His hand tightened around Giese's throat.

"We'll see about that!" Giese kicked his leg up, smacking against Jesse's very sensitive side. The Blood hissed in pain, his grip loosening on the crazed Skull. Giese managed to free himself from Jesse's grip on his throat. Except he didn't free himself, Jesse let him go. He grabbed the gun in Giese's hand and bent it back, forcing the hand to open and release it.

"Yes, we will." Jesse pointed the gun at Giese, taking a few steps back. Giese raised his hands up, seeing that now he was on the opposite end of the gun.

"You're not going to kill me." He sounded very confident.

"You threatened my best friend, you threatened my best friend's girlfriend, you threatened my girlfriend, and worst of all you threatened my daughter!" Jesse released the safety.

"You're not a murderer, Jesse."

Jesse nodded. "You're right, I'm not."

Giese relaxed slightly, making a move to take his gun back. Jesse fired, causing Giese to cry out and stumble back, clutching his bleeding arm.

"I'm not a murderer, but this monster inside me is. The one you created!"

Giese looked up, seeing that Jesse's eyes weren't emerald but a cold orange. He recognized the look his nephew had:

It was the look of someone about to commit murder.

"Jesse, wait!"

"You've threatened the wrong man for the last time, Giese!"

Giese roared then, lunging at Jesse. Jesse, orange eyes blank, pulled back the trigger. Giese stopped, gasped, and stumbled back, clutching his chest. Jesse fired again. Giese coughed up blood and collapsed to his knees. He looked up at the monster before him, the one that he created, the one that just murdered him. His eyes grew dull and he fell to the ground, dead.

Jesse threw the gun next to him, seeing the blood of the hunter pool around his favorite tool. "Die by the hand of your own creation." He turned around and walked away from the monster who tortured him and the monster he had become.

Jesse Andersen was finally free.
