Forgotten (Book 2 in Jessie Celestia)

Chapter 18

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

        "Oi Jessie, wake up already!" Lexi urged, shaking my body.

        "Five more minutes!" I grumbled, pulling the cover over my head. I heard Lexi sigh before she pushed me off the bed. I fell with a dull thud, and immediately I stood up, a bit pissed. "The hell was that for?!" I growled.

        "It got you up, didn't it?" Lexi smirked.

        "Not the right way.." I muttered. "What's so urgent anyways?" Lexi picked up the alarm clock and showed it to me. "I slept the entire morning away?!" I said in astonishment.

        "Not only that..." Lexi sighed. I tilted my head. Lexi shook her head in dissapointment. "Sting..?" My eyes widened.

        "Oh crap! You're right!" I said. I totally forgot that I promised Sting to lunch! But, I don't have time to get ready!! "What am I going to do?" I whined, starting to panic.

        "That's why you have me Jess," Lexi smirked. She closed the door to reveal a purple long sleeve dress that went all the way down to the knees. There was also black leggings and blue flats.

        "You knew I was going to sleep in..?" I asked, staring at the outfit in front of me.

        "Mm, more or less," she grinned. I smiled and petted her.

        "Thanks Lex," I grinned.

        "No prob, now get going!" she said, handing me the clothes.

~Sting's P.O.V.~

        "Hey Sting!" I looked up from the paperwork I was signing and turned to see Rogue by the door.

        "Yeah Rogue?" I answered.

        "Why aren't you getting ready for your date with Jessie?" he asked.  I slightly blushed.

        "I-it isn't a date!  It's just a lunch," I corrected.  Rogue rolled his eyes.

        "Yeah, well, are you ready or not?" he asked, changing the subject.  I nodded.

        "I am, why, do I not look alright?" I replied, looking down at myself.  I was wearing my usual clothing.  I then heard Rogue chuckle.

        "No, you look fine, I was just making sure," Rogue answered.  "Well, I'll leave you to your work then."  With that, he left.  I sighed.  Being Master was hard work, and not to complain or anything, but I think it's getting too much for me..  Suddenly a slight breeze passed through me, making me alert.  I turned around, wondering where the breeze had come from.  There were no windows in the Master's room, so it must be from somebody.  I decided to shrug it off and continue signing.  All of a sudden, something poked me on the neck.

        "Ow!" I yelped.  I felt at the back of neck and plucked something off of it.  it was a feathery black arrow.  Suddenly I felt very sleepy and my vision started to turn black.  When I open my eyes again, I'm in a pitch black room.  Even though it looked like I was alone, my nose picked up someone else's scent.  "Hello?" I yelled into the darkness.  "Is someone there?"

        "Kill her," a female voice abruptly whispered.  I pivoted around, searching for the source.

        "Who said that?!" I yelled, getting irritated.

        "Kill her," the voice repeated.  

        "Kill who?!"

        "Kill Jessie Celestia."  Just then a pair of shining pink eyes appeared in the darkness.  My eyes widened as I realized I had seen those eyes before, six years ago.  When I betrayed Jessie.

        "Who are you?" I whispered, backing away.

        "Kill her," the voice hissed.  My head started to hurt and I fell to my knees.

        "No!" I yelled, clutching my head.  "Stop!"

        "Kill Jessie Celestia," the voice repeated.  This time it felt as if the words were being whispered into my ears.

        "I won't!" I shouted, trying to fight it.

        "Oh dear Sting," the voice chuckled.  "You can't fight it.  Might as well give in, just like you did all those years ago.."

        "No!!" I yelled again.  "I can't do it again!  I can't betray her again!"

        "Oh dear Sting, you already have.." the voice chuckled again.

        "NO!!" I screamed.

        "Oi Sting, wake up!"  Suddenly the black room disappeared and I felt the sensation of being shook.

        "W-wha?" I said, slightly dazed.  I lifted my head from the table and saw Rogue looking at me with worried eyes.

        "I was gone one minute and the next thing I know you're sleeping on the table!" Rogue sighed.

        "S-sleeping?" I said in a confused tone.

        "Yeah, just knocked out," Rogue said, shaking his head.  "Maybe being Master is taking too much of a toll on ya.."

        "Whatever," I rolled my eyes.  "Hey um, do you remember what time Jessie will be here?"  Rogue looked at me weirdly.

        "She'll be here in a couple minutes..." he answered slowly.  "Why?  And what's wrong with your eyes?"

        "Is there something wrong with my eyes?" I asked curiously.

        "Well, they're dragon slits, and....dull," Rogue replied.

        "Hmm, probably nothing," I waved off.  He looked at me suspiciously.

        "If you say so.." he said before leaving the room.  I silently let out a sigh of relief and smirked.  Hmph, he was always such an idiot.  I looked out the window.  Jessie will be here in a couple minutes, perfect.  I took out the dagger that had been given to me from behind my back.  I ran my finger through the sharp edge.  In a few minutes your blood will be on this blade Jessie...
