Betrayed (MCSM)

Chapter 6: Treasures and Temples

Thanks to everybody for reading this story so far. All of your comments and support give me a reason to continue this story! Anyways here is chapter 6 please enjoy!

"Thank you very much, kind sir." an old women said as she watched a person rebuild her house that was destroyed by the wither storm. "You're welcome, ma'am." replied the person. "Gramma, now that the house is done, can we go to the new order's town? They found a new treasure and are showcasing it!" A little girl told her grandmother. "Okay, let's go. Thank you again." the women said. "What's your name?" "Lukas." the person identified as Lukas responded with a hint of anger, which the women didn't notice. "Goodbye mister! Thanks for the house!" The little girl yelled as the two walked away. Lukas waved at them and then turned around and clenched his fists, enraged. "Why are Jesse and the others taking all the credit for the wither storm?" Lukas snarled. "Here I am, rebuilding houses for all the people, while they are what, collecting treasures?! It's almost like I'm a nobody compared to them." Lukas said, as his anger turned into sadness.

Jesse awoke to a delicious smell coming from the room next to him. He opened the door to see Steve in the kitchen next to a furnace, while Darryl was quietly sleeping in the corner of the room. "Good morning Jesse!" Steve exclaimed. "I was going to wake you up when I usually get up, but I felt that you needed the sleep." "Thanks. What's cooking?" Jesse questioned, his love for food coming back to him. "Cooked chicken. Delicious!" Steve said so loud that Darryl opened his his eyes and smelt the food. "Looks like it's almost done." Steve said which caught Darryl's attention and he ran up to Steve and started wagging his tail.

"Woah, watch out boy! The last thing you want is your tail catching on fire! Remember what happened to that donkey?" Steve said and tried to push Darryl's tail away from the furnace. "What happened with what donkey?" Jesse asked with one eyebrow raised. "Oh, it's nothing. Ha-ha-ha....." Steve responded. Jesse could tell he was lying, but brushed it off. The two sat and quietly ate their food. "Jesse, how about that walk I said? If there's any danger, I'll protect you since you're still not 100%." Steve stated. "Thanks." Jesse said. "Darryl, wanna come?" Steve asked, though he already knew the answer. Darryl happily dashed toward Steve and stood next to him. "I guess that's a yes?" Jesse said while smiling. "Yes. Now let's head out!" Steve commanded and marched out of the house.

In town...
Everyone in the crowed cheered as Petra, Olivia and Axel had just returned from a village and snatched a valuable treasure from there. "Wow, that was one of the fastest quests we've ever done!" Axel exclaimed. "You know why? Because Jesse wasn't here to slow us down!" Olivia stated. "I know right?" Petra said while laughing. "That loser's not here to get in our way anymore!" Petra said with an evil smirk. Olivia looked back at Petra. "Yeah, but don't you think we took it too far when we killed--" Their conversation was interrupted when Ivor walked toward them, angry.

"Who allowed them to tear down my wonderful house?" Ivor yelled and pointed to a group of people who were demolishing his house. "Hey don't look at me! I liked it." Axel said. "It was supposed to be an indication that we don't want you here, Ivor! So leave, like Jesse!" Petra glared at Ivor with pure hated.  "Fine! I didn't like your stupid town anyway! Community planning? Who needs that?!" Ivor yelled and began to walk away. "Speaking of Jesse, I wonder what happened to him?" Olivia asked. "He's too weak to survive on his own. He's probably dead." Axel answered. "Good riddance." Petra finished, still glaring at Ivor. "I know someone that can help you, Jesse." Ivor thought as he was walking away.

The sound of cheers brought Petra back to what they were doing. "You guys are better off without Jesse!" Someone in the crowd yelled, causing Petra to smile. "The new order of the stone is back in town!" Axel shouted and the crowd roared. "We'd like to show you our new treasure!" Petra exclaimed as she pulled out a shining emerald. "Wow, Gramma, that's so cool! The emeralds glowing!" A little girl in the crowd yelled to her grandmother. "The emerald will be placed in our treasure room!" Petra stated and dismissed the crowd. "Wait, we have no room in there!" Olivia said, getting worried. "Don't worry, Olivia. We can put it where Reuben's little memorial used to be. His spot can be put to good use." Petra said, coldly. With that, the three walked inside the treasure room.

10 hours later...
"I thought we were just at the weird shaped tree!" Steve said as he started to panic. It was night time and he had somehow gotten lost. Darryl hid behind Steve, he wasn't the biggest fan of being out and about at night. "It's getting really dark out here" Jesse stated the obvious. "We should build a shelter since we have no idea where we are." "Good idea, Jesse!" Steve said but when he started building, Darryl's barking made him stop. "What do you see, boy?" Steve looked ahead through the trees of the dark forest to see a light. "That must be home! Let's hurry!" Steve told him and the three made a run toward the light. When they got there, they realized that this wasn't Steve's house, it was a temple. "What the-? This isn't home! Were completely lost!" Steve groaned. Jesse immediately recognized this place. "This is Gabriel's temple!"

Lukas was in his house looking outside at the dark. "I guess I should head to bed. I got a lot more rebuilding to do tomorrow." Lukas sighed as he walked towards his bed, but stopped when he heard a bang on his door. Lukas opened the door to see a person he knew all too well, but became worried when he noticed that he was injured, severely.

"Aiden?"

So sorry for always leaving it on cliffhangers but that makes it so much better! What person is Ivor talking about? Why are Jesse and Steve at Gabriel's temple? What happened to Aiden? As always stay tuned for chapter 7!
