[slight warning ahead of time. This chapter is more sad and dark. Don't worry, things get better in the end but it's still sad]

Jake was having a nightmare of when he and his brother were kids

Jake and Aden: Mom!! Dad!!

A wolf pack was attacking Jake and his family, with the leader fighting the parents and 2 of the smaller ones looking like they were about to eat Jake and Aden

Jake: AAAAHHHH!!!

A huge bear zombie monster thing comes out of nowhere, killing some of the wolfs with others escaping

Aden: Mom's not breathing!

Jake: Daddy!!

Dad: Just go... Leave me...

Jake: But dad-

The bear attacks

Jake: AHHHH

Jake is in bed, late at night covered in sweat and breathing heavily.

Jake: Just a nightmare...

The door opens and Pearl walks through it

Pearl: Is everything ok Jake? I heard you yelling

Jake: Yeah, just a bad nightmare

Pearl: Do you want anything? Maybe wanna talk about it?

Jake: No, I'm fine, I promise

Pearl: Alright, just wanted to make sure, good night

Jake: Night

Flashback to Jake, 6 years ago

Aden: Have you delivered all the packages?

Employe: All done boss

Aden: You know I'm not the boss right?

Employee: I know but your the boss in my eyes, and you are second in command

The bell rings, indicating someone entered through the front door

Employee: Welcome to mail HQ, how can I help you?

Jake: I'm looking for my brother

Aden: Jake? Boss, is it ok if I go now?

The Actual Boss: It's almost quitting time anyway, go ahead

Aden: Thanks. Come on Jake, let's head home

Later while walking

Aden: You don't always have to wait for me, you could just go home and relax

Jake: It's lonely without you. Your honestly all I have left

Random explorer: Hey guys!

Jake ran away

Aden: Jake! Wait! I'm really sorry about my brother

Random explorer: It's no problem

Latter

Aden: There you are! That was really rude you know

Jake: So what?

Aden: What's with all the hate? They are just trying to help

Jake: If they came sooner, Mom and Dad would still be here

Aden: But still, if they didn't come in the end, we wouldn't be here. Look, I'm not telling you to stop hating them, just treat them with a little more respect

Next day

Random Kid: Yo!

Jake: What do you want?

Random Kid: Just wanna hang with you
