Rachel entered Jette's room. "Hey Jette, how are you doing?" Rachel asked gently brushing Jette's hair out of her face. Jette looked at her tiredly and rubbed her eyes. "I'm ok... Desmond gave me medicine.." she muttered.

Rachel sat down on her mattress. "You're really pretty..." Rachel mumbled looking at her face. Jette gave her a soft smile. Rachel took a hair brush and began brushing Jette's hair, having her head on her lap.

Jette enjoyed the feeling closing her eyes. "Rachel... Why are you working for Desmond?... Isn't he a mean man?" Jette wondered. Rachel sighed. "If you would know him like I do, you would realize he cares about us. We're the people he wants to protect for all we know." Rachel tried to explain tp which Jette nodded. "If you say so.."

Rachel stayed with her in silence a little until they both heard someone coming through the front door. "That must be Desmond!" Rachel exclaimed, putting Jette back down on the mattress. "Bye, Jette!" Rachel said and waved and left. Jette waved back.

Rachel went up again and looked at the boys still seated in the kitchen where she left them. "Is Desmond here already?" Rachel asked them. Ethan nodded. "Yeah, he just came home with Jacob. They both should marry each other by now. They do almost everything together." Ethan teased. "I heard that." Desmond gave him a glare.

"Okay I have called in a meeting because my power is safe enough to use on you all. So I've decided today is the day I will corrupt the rest of you guys. Well except Jacob..." Desmond informed the others, mumbling the last sentence. They all looked very excited. Since Desmond had discovered his power in his youth, they had wanted him to strengthen them as well but until now no one knew if it was safe.

"I wanna start!" Ethan said pushing Michael aside. "Okay-" Desmond said looking slightly icky about Ethan's behavior. Desmond took out a knife. Ethan looked at him scared and raised his hands. "HOLD ON, MATE! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" Ethan asked shocked. "I have to cut you and put my blood into yours, forgot?" Desmond sighed. "OH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT." Ethan exclaimed, way louder than he wanted to. He held out his arms and legs. "I want all of it Desmond. I wanna be the strongest HAHA!" Ethan laughed but was quick to jump in pain as Desmond cut his arms and legs without a warning. "Oh come on." Ethan groaned. "You could've atleast warned me!" He said looking at the ground embarrassed.

Desmond cut himself again and and the same procedure as last time. He took his blood and put it in his wounds. Soon after they were infected by his power, corrupted. "Guys I look sick!" Ethan said happily.
"I wanna go next.." Rachel mumbled. She only wanted one of her arms to be corrupted, since she was pretty scared of wounds. Desmond respected that. The same procedure with her arm and both of Michaels arms.

"Since that is complete, I will move on to No.0!" Desmond informed them and made his way towards the basement. The others looked a bit worried for Jette and hoped he wouldn't hurt her too much. They tried to distract themselves and all looked at Jacob. "When's the wedding?" Ethan asked teasingly. Jacob backed away a bit scared of them getting so close. "I... Never... I don't think he likes me." Jacob mumbled. "Atleast not like that... We're friends and nothing more it seems..." He explained looking at the ground. The others sighed sadly. They would make a cute couple together.

In the basement Desmond stared down at Jette. "Choose a limb." He demanded. Jette, as the little child she was, got extremely scared to the point of tears when she heard that. She thought Desmond was gonna cut off her arm or something. Atleast that was what the blade in his hand was making her think. "I uhm... My left leg.." Jette mumbled. Desmond stepped before her cutting a small wound in her leg. She cried in pain though Desmond was trying hus best to hurt her as little as possible. The same procedure as before was done. Desmond put his blood in hers, her leg corrupted. It hurt. "Atleast I still have my leg attached." Jette thought full of fear.

"I can control you with that." He explained. "Don't you dare misbehave now. You're now involved in something bigger and you can't back out." He warned. Jette teared up, she was afraid of this man. Desmond was someone she knew well, but she hadn't known about this. She wiped her tears away. "Desmond.." she mumbled. "Will I die?" She asked afraid. Desmond sighed and stroked her hair. "I will protect you. You still have to help me, but I would prefer if you'd stay alive." He pat her shoulder and left.

Jette was alone with her thought. What was he planning?..
