Memories and Revenge

That morning Jesse was up very early, 2:00 am to be exact. He had only gotten one hour of sleep that night and woke up after having a nightmare of his past. He went around the house organizing everything he could trying to pass the time. Jesse found himself craving a snack from all the work he was doing. He walked to the kitchen opened the food chest a found a bundle of carrots, the carrots were too big so he broke one in half. For some reason he found the noise absolutely hilarious, and kept breaking them, laughing away. And that's the story of how everyone found Jesse crying hysterically on the floor surrounded by carrots at two in the morning.

*LATER THAT DAY*

"Do you think Jesse's okay?" Olivia asked Axel, she was very concerned for his well being knowing full well that the stress was getting to him."No, not really. I mean did you see him, he was having a breakdown." Axel replied also concerned for Jesse."What's wrong with your friend?" Magnus asked, he thought it was hilarious to see Jesse, in his words, crying like a baby. "Do you even really care?" Olivia snapped at him, still angry at him for making fun of Jesse."Woah, calm down sassypants! I just want to know if he needs his mommy." Magnus joked aggressively."Magnus shut up," Ivor snapped, "is Jesse okay, does he do that often?" He asked sincerely."Um, well, Jesse has...problems...He probably had a nightmare last night and just didn't sleep, that mixed with all of the events and pressure probably made him snap." Olivia explained sadly."Aww did the poor baby have a nightmare, Hahahahaha!" Magnus teased."Magnus! Shut up NOW!" Ellegaard snapped too."What!?" Magnus huffed.Ellegaard rolled her eyes and looked back to Olivia and Axel. "Will he be okay?""Yeah, he probably won't even remember it happened." Axel said."He won't?" Gabriel asked."Nah, he never really does." Axel stated, he really hoped Jesse would be okay later."Oh..." Ellegaard breathed."You said nightmares, what about?" Ivor asked curiously."Um...personal stuff from his past...really personal..." Olivia explained nervously."Tell us!" Magnus said impatiently."I don't know, like I said its really personal..." Olivia said, she really didn't want them to now about Jesse's past without his permission."Oh come now it can't be that bad." Ellegaard said not seeing the problem."I guess since he's going to sleep for the rest of the day..." Olivia said reluctantly. Everybody sat down I the living room to listen to the story, wanting very much to know what was up with Jesse."Well, it was before Jesse moved to our town..." She began.

*FLASHBACK*

In a little village called Galicia little Jesse, of only four years, plays on a small mountain with a group of other boys. Soon they were called back home for lunch, leaving Jesse all alone on the mountain."Its not fair, why did they have to leave..." the young boy said sadly.Just then a man walked up to him who he had never seen before. "Hello there lad." The man said.Jesse's father had always told him to be polite to everyone so he greeted the man."Hi, who are you?" Jesse asks."I'm Michael, and who are you?" The man, Michael, asked."I'm Jesse." "What a nice name, and how old are you Jesse?" Michael asked. The man looked nice enough so he continued to speak to him, instead of leaving for home."I'm four years old!" Jesse answered, smiling politely."Did your friends leave?" Michael asked with a strange look in his eyes. Jesse didn't think anything of it and answered, "yeah, I wanted to play more but they had to go..." Jesse said sadly."Aww, if you want, me and you can play." Michael suggested, the look in his eyes getting more intense."Um, I'm not supposed to play with strangers..." Jesse said, remembering what his father said about playing with strangers."We're not strangers Jesse! I know you now, and you know me! That means we aren't strangers." Michael said in a convincing tone."Oh, okay!" Jesse said with a smile, "what do you want to play.""Hmm, how about tag, I've always loved that game!" He suggested."Sure!" Jesse said excitedly.With that they began to play until Jesse was exhausted. He fell to the ground in laughter."Are you tired?" Michael asked, the look in his eyes more prominent."Um, yeah, I think i should get home now. I need a drink and I'm hungry." Jesse said panting, still tired from all the running."No." Michael said, suddenly the happy aura from before was gone replaced with a cold feeling. Jesse was starting to get scared."You don't want to play with me anymore?" He said with a wicked grin and cold eyes, his face was like stone and he looked terrifying. Jesse tried to get up but his legs were too worn out, he wanted to run away and hide, he wanted his dad. "You're scaring me." Jesse whimpered.Michael just grin his cold emotionless grin and walked over to Jesse. Jesse tried to crawl away, but to no avail. The man picked him up easily over his shoulder and walked off into the forest...

*FLASHBACK OVER*

"..."Everyone was silent."...is there more...?" Ellegaard asked reluctantly, still stunned."Yeah, but Jesse won't tell us what happened afterward's. All he said was that he was with the creep for three days before he was found, and that the man was executed." Olivia finished.Everyone was silent again, until they heard some groans coming from the hallway and Jesse walked in. Jesse noticed all the stares he was receiving and got nervous."Umm, hi..." Jesse said shuffling his feet confusion taking over."Oh, uh, hi..." Everyone stuttered trying to brush off the stun of the story."Ookay then..." Jesse said awkwardly.Everyone got up and started doing what they would normally do, trying to play it off as if nothing happened. "Did anyone check on Soren by any chance?" Jesse asked.Everyone froze, and then they darted down to the cell where Soren was being kept. Much to everyone's relief he was still there, curled up in the corner sleeping."Can we at least take him upstairs guys, we can, like, tie him up so he doesn't get away..." Magnus stammered."Its not a bad idea." Ivor said, for once they agreed on something."Yeah okay, as long as he's tied up." Jesse said grabbing rope. "Soren, wake up."Soren Sat up slowly while Jesse went in and tied the rope around his neck, only tight enough so that he couldn't slip out or undo it."W-what are you d-doing?" Soren asked shaking."Taking you upstairs, we're just tying you up so you can't get away." Jesse answered calmly."O-oh..." Soren shuddered still a little scared.Jesse dragged Soren upstairs by the rope not caring to slow down. Once they made it up stairs Jesse tied the rope up to a fence cowboy style like his father taught him, unless properly taught how to undo the tie it was basically inescapable.

"There that should do." Jesse said finishing up.Soren sat down on the ground with a 'thud'. Jesse rolled his eyes with a smile, finding Sorens over dramatic display amusing. Soren looked absolutely humiliated, being tied up like an animal wasn't really the best feeling in the world. Jesse felt bad for him, he looked so bored, then he remembered all the books his father had written and given him. He went to his room and grabbed an arm load of books, bringing them back to where Soren sat. He placed the books down beside him."In case you get bored." Jesse said."Jesse, there isn't a book in the world that I haven't read." Soren said unsatisfied."Actually, you're wrong. These are the books my father wrote which he never had published. He wrote them for me to read when I was older. Since I've read everyone of them over a million times, I figured you would benefit from it." Jesse explained."Oh, well now it's gonna bother me if I don't read them..." Soren said picking one up.Jesse got up and walked outside to go 'talk' with Aiden.Jesse walked into town and straight through to Aiden's house. He calmly knocked on the door, which was answer after a few seconds. Aiden opened the door, took one at Jesse's face and tried to slam it back shut. Unfortunately for him Jesse was faster, ramming the door open, to which Aiden fell backwards. Jesse slammed the door shut behind him, and walked over to where Aiden was and lifted him up by his shirt and slammed him against the wall."So you think it's fun to beat up girls," Jesse said punching Aiden in the stomach. Jesse continued until Aiden was unconscious and thought up a punishment. Seeing as how it was already dark out side and the streets were empty Jesse decided to have a little fun.

*The Next Morning*

Petra walked into the temple laughing hysterically, receiving stares from everyone one except Jesse who continued eating, knowing full well what she was laughing about. Petra was laughing so hard she wasn't making any noise and she fell over, her body racking in silent laughter. Everyone was just staring at her.

"So how was your walk through town?" Jesse asked nonchalantly. With that Petra went into another fit of laughter Jesse following suit."OH MY HAHAHA!" Petra wheezed through her laughter, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JESSE!" "Can't believe what Petra, I have no idea what you mean?" Jesse said play pretending to be innocent."Oh my Notch, Olivia you have to see what he did to Aiden!!" Petra said still laughing.

With that everyone travelled to the town, and were met with the sight of Aiden in in his underwear, tied up spread eagle. A sign in front of him read,

'Since I think it's fun to hit girls, Jesse from the order of the stone decided to do this as mercy.'

With that everyone started dying laughing while people gathered around, taking the sign as permission, and began throwing food at a red faced Aiden.

They all headed back after watching and laughing with all the town's people. To say the least, Aiden was extremely humiliated and hid in his house for the next few weeks, Olivia was super happy for the rest of the day, and all was right with world.

When they got home they were greeted by a very hungry Soren. They had completely forgotten about him, and he he looked like he was going to have an 'accident'. After Soren took care of his 'business' and ate, they all settled down and relaxed.

"Hmm," Axel thought, "Jesse, truth or dare?""Umm, truth." Jesse said after thinking it over."Do you like Olivia?" He asked with a smirk.By now everyone was intrigued, even Olivia who was blushing."...you're cruel...Yeah...I do..." Jesse answered also turning a shade of red. Olivia was blushing like crazy while Petra smiled at her and laughed."I love this game." Axel said smiling."Fine, truth or dare?" Jesse asked Axel."I'm going with truth." He answered."When we were kids-""Oh crap.""-You went into the woods with carrots everyday for a week. What were you doing?" Jesse finished ignoring Axel's interruption."........I don't want to tell you..." Axel said nervously."You have to!" Jesse said calmly yet excitedly."...I was feeding a whole bunch of baby bunnies..." Axel said embarrassed."Why?" Jesse asked with a laugh, confused."I accidentally killed their mom while I was messing with fireworks," Axel said, "I felt guilty, so feed them until they grew up..."His story received some aww's from Petra and Olivia. "You may look intimidating, but you're just a marshmallow!" Petra said jokingly."You...fed bunnies...wow." Magnus said, he didn't think the guy would have feelings for stupid animals."Hey, shut up its sweet." Soren said looking up from the book he was reading."You were listening while reading?" Petra said confused."Multitasking." He answered simply."Okay then," Axel said, "Petra, truth or dare?""Dare." She said easily."Dare you to kiss Olivia." He said Emily."Hahaha!" Petra laughed, getting up and going over to Olivia who was trying to hide."Come here Olivia." Petra said with a smile."You're actually gonna do it?!" Ivor said surprised."Yep." Was her simple answer.Petra managed to drag Olivia out of the corner and laid it on her, not caring in the slightest."So, what, are you two lovey-dovey now?" Magnus said laughing."No, I'm asexual." Petra said."What?" He said still confused."It means I'm not attracted to anyone." She explained."Oh..."This game went on for awhile until it finally came down to Ivor's choice"So everyone else went, now it's your turn Ivor." Jesse said smiling."Nope, I'm not participating in this." He refused. He didn't want a part in the humiliation, Magnus and Ellegaard where already forced to kiss, he didn't want a part in it."Too bad, choose." Jesse demanded with a smile.Ivor huffed out a breathe and chose."Truth." He said, definitely not wanting to do a dare."After you left the order, did you still care about them?" Jesse asked putting a lot of thought into the question.Everyone in the room had all attention focused on Ivor at that very moment."...uhh..." Ivor uttered nervously, of course he cared about them. They had been friends since they were children, how could he not. "Ivor, come on we want to know~" Petra said in a singsong tone."....Yes..." He said quietly, trying not to look at anyone."Y-you did?" Ellegaard stuttered."..." Ivor was silent."Well, that was enlightening." Soren said smiling."Well...it's late, we should probably get some rest." Gabriel said still staring at Ivor in surprise.With that everyone got up and headed for their rooms, Magnus left bringing Soren with him. Everyone fell asleep quickly, everyone except for Jesse who cleaned up the house again before passing out on the couch.
