Hey guys! 27 is here so enjoy!

Previously on Dark Veins:

Jesse laughed. To Lukas, her laugh was beautiful and very contagious as he laughed with her.

"Seriously though, I love you so much."Lukas told her.

"I love you too Lukas."Jesse said, smiling softly.

They leaned in...

...and kissed. The one thought going through their minds was

Will we go forward?

(No one's POV)

"Jesse? I didn't know you were here. Everything okay?"Xara asked, seeing Jesse on the ground, her head buried in her arms.

"I'm fine Xara."Jesse said, her eyes red.

Xara frowned. "Something tells me you were crying for a reason. Care to explain why?"she asked, not believing Jesse's lie.

Jesse pulled out a picture, the one with the white eyes man standing next to her mom.

"Do you know who that guy next to my mom is?"Jesse asked, determined to find him.

Xara looked at the picture and saw the man's hands on Isa's stomach. She gasped, her eyes widening. She shakily took a breath and gulped.

"The man goes by the name Herobrine. He's the most dangerous man out there. Herobrine is a world wide known murder, stay away from him."Xara told Jesse.

She then noticed what Xara's hand was covering as her hands flew up to her mouth, covering it.

"My mom cheated on my dad?"Jesse said softly, her eyes trailing the photo.

"Jesse, we need to talk to Soren. Now."Xara said, running out to find Soren.

Jesse followed her and they found him, sitting on a log looking at a tree. The tree was an old tree with two initials on the trunk. I & S 4 ever.

"Soren we need to talk."Xara said.

Soren turned around and looked at the former admin and his daughter before he stood up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xara holding a photo and gulped. That was one thing he didn't want Jesse knowing about. That he was her step-dad.

"Where did you get that photo Xara?"Soren asked.

"I found it when you gave me the suit and weapons. It was on the wall. Dad, Xara says Herobrine is the man in this photo."Jesse spoke up.

"Dad? Was mom cheating on you?"Jesse asked out of curiosity.

Soren shook his head. "Yes. Herobrine was your mom's ex-boyfriend."he lied, not wanting his daughter to know the truth.

Xara saw Soren was lying but kept quiet about it. She figured there had to be a reason why he would lie to his own daughter.

"Thanks dad. I gotta go somewhere. Bye."Jesse said as she walked out, leaving Soren and Xara.

"Dad lied. I know he did. I could feel it."Jesse muttered to herself.

She sat alone in the forest, sitting on a log and staring into the water. Jesse felt a new feeling growing inside her. Anger.

SNAP! CRACK! Were the sounds that Jesse heard. Chucking a twig she found on the ground at the person. The person dodged, looking Jesse in the face with worry all over.

"Jesse? What's wrong? This isn't you."Lukas pleaded with her, his bow snapped open and ready to aim.

You have failed me, daughter.

Jesse blanked out for a few minutes. Lukas's face had worry painted all over.

"I am not your daughter!"Jesse roared.

Lukas fired an arrow at Jesse's feet, being careful not to hit her. Jesse whipped out her black sword and attempted to stab Lukas but the blond beat her. Lukas fired two more arrows that implanted themselves into Jesse's leg. She held onto her sword, bearing the pain. Unbeknownst to him, two men came in and took Jesse captive. Lukas saw Jesse being held captive and carefully snuck up to her.

"Jess please talk to me. What's going on?"he asked her.

"I..I don't know. LUKAS! HELP!"she screamed feeling her captors hold her head back with a gun aimed at her neck.

"Freeze blond guy. Take another step and I'll kill the girl."The mysterious person said.

Lukas froze. "Let her go."he growled, drawing back his bow and firing three arrows.

One men fell down to the ground dead, while the other still held the gun at Jesse's neck.

"I'm sorry Lukas. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I'm mad my dad, he lied to me about my mom and Herobrine!"Jesse blurted out, the mysterious person growled.

He took a hide risk and fired his bow, aiming for Jesse's captor. It didn't hit the captor, it landed in Jesse's stomach.

"Three."she said, grasping the pain she was enduring.

Lukas swing his bow across his back and ran over to Jesse, punching her captor in the face three times. He held her in his arms, blood pooling underneath her.

"What?"Lukas asked.

"That's how many arrows. Three."she said.

"Jess don't die on me. I couldn't imagine a world without you in it. I love you Jesse."Lukas said, kissing her forehead.

Jesse smiled softly. "I can't imagine a world without you in it either. I love-"Jesse got cut off by a knife flying at them.

Lukas lifted her head and quickly placed it down gently before taking the knife aimed for her. He grunted in pain, feeling the knife in his side. He glanced at Jesse before he took her in his arms and walked out of the forest and into the hut.

Xara and Soren were talking when the door banged open, revealing Lukas with an unconscious Jesse in his arms. Placing her on the ground gently, Xara quickly got to work. Within an hour, Jesse was still out but her wounds were wrapped. Xara faced her son as she pointed to the chair, Lukas reluctantly walked over and sat in the chair. After ten minutes of sitting in the hard chair, his wound was wrapped as well.

He stood up and walked over to Jesse, holding her limp hand.

"Wake up Jess. We all need you. I need you."Lukas whispered to her.

—-

Ooooooo. Now it's good. Lukas is the culprit! He injured Jesse! *glares at Blonde Guy* Yes you, into the corner! Now! *Lukas goes to the corner, giving puppy dog eyes on the way* NO PUPPY DOG EYES! ONLY I CAN DO THAT! MUAHAHAHAHA! XD!

Chapter 28 will be out soon!
