They stopped by a large tree, taking a breather. "What, was that!?" Aiden panted. "Petra... She looked horrible. It looked like she stabbed herself before dying with her sword. Her blood was black. Some of her limbs had holes in them, a-and some skin was decaying and black, so were the bones in her leg!" Lukas answered just as breathless. Jesse sunk down onto the ground, traumatized.

"You good?" Aiden asked, never seeing Jesse like this. "T-there's no way that was real..." Jesse replied softly. "It was, she was infected. Did you notice any signs when you were with her last?" Lukas asked. "N-no. She was just turning pale, but she didn't eat in a while, and those purple veins were on her arm."Jesse answered.

"Did she get more hostile?" Lukas asked. Jesse nodded. Lukas looked at him with empathy. "She got infected by the Witherstorm. Those were signs of the sickness." Lukas replied softly, kneeling down to Jesse's level. "I-I could have saved her..." Jesse sobbed.

"Don't beat yourself up. We've all felt that." Lukas said, looking up at Aiden, who was looking at the ground. Lukas's attention switched back to Jesse, who was bawling his eyes out. Lukas hugged him tightly. He knew that feeling way too well. So did Aiden.
