Chapter 8

Jesse's pov

It's been days since Jess's sudden disappearance. Frankly the whole town has been affected. No one wants to leave their homes. I don't blame them. Ever since Herobrine appeared and Jess disappeared no one wants to be outside. I am currently in a meeting with the old order, new order, and some world leaders. They're currently raising their voices. I'm quickly snapped out of my trance. "Jesse you need to do something. Things are getting out of hand." I look to my left to see my girlfriend, Petra staring at me with a worried expression.  I stand up slamming my hands onto the table. "ENOUGH!" Everyone immediately goes quiet. "Look, yelling and shouting at eachother isn't going to get us anywhere. Our main source is finding a way to get rid of Herobrine. New order I want you and some leaders to locate, but under no circumstances provoke Herobrine. Old order I need you to gather information about him, everyone else go house by house making sure everyone has their needs. Any objections if not go. Aiden, Lukas I need to speak with you two." Everyone quickly leave the room hoping not to piss me off again. I quickly kiss Petra goodbye as she leaves to do her job. "Aiden, for the love of my sister I'll be neutral. Do you remember the last time you saw Jess?" He looks for a second focused. "The last time I saw her was when we all met at the crater. She walked off to head home but when I got there she wasn't around. I thought she'd left and went to see you." I look at Lukas. "As much as you two don't get along right now I need you guys to set aside your differences to help me find my sister. Please." They look at eachother before Aiden sticks out his right hand. Lukas judges it for a while before shaking it. I know they hate eachother but right now I need all the help I can get. Suddenly I hear footsteps running. "Jesse, Jesse. I have a letter." I look to see Olivia panting with her hands on her knees. She grew I can say. She isn't the same nerd from years ago. She's 5'8 with dark brown eyes and hair. Hourglass figure with a thick red sweater and jeans with brown boots. I take the letter as she catches her breath.

Hello Jesse, I've left this letter to inform you that the wedding takes place at sunset on Wednesday. I'd be a terrible husband to keep my bride away from her precious family and friends. So you all are invited. Hope to see you soon. P.s your sister says hi.

I feel my heart drop. No. No. This cannot be happening. The paper slips from my hand as I fall to my knees. Lukas grabs it. I hear him gasp as I'm running out the room. I run and run until I make it to Jess's favorite spot. A tree in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a small stream. It's beautiful. I fall to my knees and one by one tears start pouring. Before I know it I'm ripping grass up from the ground. I start attacking a tree. Punching it so hard my knuckles turn red as blood threatened to leave them. I feel a soft hand touch by shoulder. I throw a punch at the person but just barely missing them as I noticed it's Petra. She pulls me into a hug as I start crying again. "How could I have been so stupid." She rubs my back. "You didn't know. It could've been anyone. And frankly not everyone would survive him. Your sister is the only person I know that could've survive and outsmart him. Just give her time." My crying has stopped. "Also Axel has arrived.". She hugs me once more before getting up and leaving. I'm still on my knees, staring at the flow of the small stream. Why Jess? She has a bad temper, lazy and smart mouth. Who'd want to deal with that 24/7. I look towards the sky. I promised myself I'd do anything to keep her safe. Ever since our parents walked out on us its just been us. We lived in that tree house our whole life. Until we were given new homes as a token of saving the whole world. I get up off of the ground and dust myself off. I bend down to pick up my jacket that I threw off and a arrow fly past my head landing on a tree. I go observe it. I look closer as I realize it's poison tipped, I grab it. I look around as I spot someone running in the woods. "Hey come back here!" I run after them. Jumping and ducking as I see tree branches and rocks block my path. Whoever this person is, they're skilled and definitely have done this before. I loose them as we make a turn. Giving up I turn around to head home. Reaching the gates I see a lot of people gathered around the beacon. "Excuse me.....sorry....coming through." I move past them to see the order passing out necessities, food and water. "Jesse!" Axel engulfs me in a hug. He lets go. "Now that your back we can start the meeting." I nod. We all including Aiden gathered around in the beacon room. "Ok anyone come up with anything?" I look around as everyone averts my eyes. "O....k. Aiden I need you and Lukas to come with me." I know bringing them two together is going to be a headache, but I know they'll try their hardest to find her. "I'll give you till the end of the day to pack. We'll travel at night when it cooler. That's all." I could tell they had something to say but because my sisters is on the line they kept quiet. I left to go pack it was already the mid day. I've been having a shady feeling all day like something bad is gonna happen. I open my door. "Oh hey Jesse I didn't know you were gonna be back so soon." I look to my left to see Aiden peeking from around the corner of the kitchen. I wave. "I know we haven't gotten along but I want to put our differences aside for Jess." He holds out his hand and I shake it. "I packed my bag, wake me when your ready to go." He walks of to his room and I head to mine. Pulling my backpack from out of my very messy closet I set it on the bed. I pack all the necessities along with an bow an arrow for hunting. Looking at the time noticing it just barely past 4 I decided to take a nap before we leave in a couple hours.
