                                              “Axel, I’m fine. You don’t have to keep asking me.” Jesse chuckled. 
“I know, I know. But you could have got infected by that monster. Or worse, KILLED! Magnus was already killed, we don’t need you gone too. You’re one of the only people I can get along with in there. I already lost an idol of mine... I don’t want to lose my best friend either.” Axel sighed. 
Jesse frowned. “It means a lot to me. But I swear, I’m perfectly fine.” Jesse smiled reassuringly. “Plus, we’re near the spot where I saw Maya.” Jesse added, running ahead. “JESSE!!” Axel yelled, running after him. 
Axel leaned against a tree, panting heavily. “Don’t run off like that, dumbass!” Axel said breathlessly. Jesse covered Axel’s mouth, pointing ahead of them. It was Maya. She looked horrid. Looked just like Petra. Jesse held out his hand, Axel giving him the lead.
Jesse slowly crept up behind Maya. He prepared it, then tied Maya up immediately. Maya let out a high pitch scream. It wasn’t a normal, human scream. It was like a creature’s or something. Jesse put his shoe to her back, tightening it more. “GOT HER!” Jesse yelled towards Axel, giving him a thumbs up. 
Axel came closer. “I’ll take the lead.” Axel said, grabbing the rope part of the lead in his hand. “Great! Now let’s get going!” Jesse smiled, leading the way. Everytime Maya let out a loud blood-screeching scream, Axel tugged on the rope. Axel was alert the whole way, making sure Maya didn’t escape.
