Royalty - An MCSM Fanfiction

Chapter 5: Potion

Petra sat at the desk in her bedroom, writing something down. She had the perfect plan to prank Lukas. He was in for a real surprise.

She just needed to execute this plan after she spent a while trying to master Jesse's handwriting.

A mischievous smile was on her face, as she stood up, heading to the kitchen. She put the note in an envelope marked with his name, and a very suspicious potion on top.

She hoped he would believe it was Jesse. That would for sure be a sign for this to work. One tiny slip up and it could all go wrong-

She heard a door and thought it was Lukas. Instead, it turned out to be Jesse, which seemed surprising. "Look who finally decided to show their face."

Jesse's head turned in her direction, and a scared gaze settled on her face. "I uh...sorry...I was just uh, leaving." She tried to run out of room, but the next word Petra said made the Wither Slayer stop.

"Wait."

She turned around, a scared expression still there, now mixed with stress. The redhead sighed at her, speaking. "We can't keep doing this, Jesse."

The shorter girl wouldn't even look at her. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Petra's fist slammed down on the island. "Yeah, you do. You haven't left that room in days. I can tell you you've barely been eating anything lately."

Petra stared at her down. "You're avoiding us. All because you can't tell us what's really going on."

"It's in the past," Jesse muttered.

"Then why are you so worried about it now?" The warrior wondered, crossing her arms as she came face to face with her friend.

"Don't worry about it," Jesse said, grabbing the doorknob.

Petra grabbed her arm. "We can all tell that something's wrong. It's nothing to do with you almost getting kidnapped, that's for sure."

The raven-haired girl just looked down, not daring to look Petra in the eye. Petra softened, lifting her friend's chin up, making her look. "No one likes seeing you like this, Jesse. We're here to help you, no matter what."

She almost thought she saw a tear trickling down the other girl's cheek. "No one can help me." Her gaze was no longer on the redhead.

"Jesse-" She didn't get to finish, her best friend closing the door on her face.

Luckily Lukas hadn't emerged from his bedroom yet, because she was so sure it wouldn't work unless she had the right moment to take action.

She had checked where Jesse had gone, only to realize she was taking a nap in the living room. Then she had a new idea.

__________________________________________________________

Lukas woke up with a start, his mind not registering where he was. He called himself an idiot, for he was just in his room- the same place he was when the lights went out.

Groaning, he got up, his mind only focusing on one thing. Usually, Axel was the one that was always hungry, but Lukas was at this point.

He went to the kitchen. It seemed normal to him, nothing out of place. He was just about to open the fridge, but something on the counter caught his eye.

Noticing his name was written on it, he picked it up, slowly opening the envelope. It seemed odd that this envelope wasn't in the mailbox, but he didn't detect anything suspicious about it.

It was revealed to be a letter, and in the handwriting, Lukas knew very well. Jesse. He didn't seem to take notice of the potion sitting next to the torn envelope though.

I need you to drink the potion that came with this.

It's important.

Lukas set the note down, shrugging at it. If this was important to Jesse, then he was gonna do it, no matter what the consequences were.

He then spotted the potion. It looked different from all the other ones he had seen, but did he care? Not one bit. He knew Jesse wouldn't give him a potion that could possibly hurt him. She was not one for violence when it came to her friends.

Without hesitation, he drank it, but that was all he would remember. A gold glow now replaced his eyes, and his expression went to something similar to a zombie's. Petra came up from the other side of the fridge, raising a fist in the air.

"It's working."

Lukas turned around, still under the effects of the potion. Petra grinned, saying an ominous thing. "You know what to do."

Lukas grinned a boyish grin and slowly walked into the Treasure room. His destination: the living room.

Though with the intake of the potion, he had no idea what was happening. His mind was just blank, and that's exactly what Petra needed to prove to him what she was implying the entire time.

When the redhead entered the room, she laughed, seeing that Lukas was now looming over a certain sleeping figure on the couch.

Petra saw this as her cue, and she hid behind the recliner as she watched her plan unfold to its climax.

Lukas leaned down, the zombie-like expression still on his face. He still had no idea what he was doing as his lips touched the sleeping girl's.

Knowing the rest of what was visible, the warrior ducked down, knowing exactly what was about to happen. Jesse started stirring, and the effects on Lukas would wear off.

Jesse's eyes opened to see Lukas so close to her. She almost screamed, seeing nothing but gold where his eyes were supposed to be. Instead, a scream came out as a gasp. "L-Lukas?"

The blonde finally snapped out of the trance, his face turning instantly red. "J-Jesse?"

"What are you doing?" She asked uncertainty.

He looked around and became even more confused. "I-I don't know. You left me a note saying to drink that potion."

Now Jesse was becoming just as confused as him. "I never sent you a note or a freaking potion!"

Lukas's face was really red, and you can tell he was embarrassed. In a panic, he ran out of the room as Jesse got up. "Lukas, wait!"

The raven-haired girl didn't get to finish. The door closed. Her attention span didn't spend long on that once she heard howling laughter behind the recliner.

She muttered something incoherent, making her way over to see Petra, rolling on the ground as her face became as red as her hair.

Jesse glared at her, and when Petra finally noticed, Jesse spoke.

"Petra, what did you do?"
