A Portal To Truths...

Justice Will Be Served

In all my history of feeling angry, I had never felt like this.
He had smugly admitted.. that he killed Reuben.
I hated him more than I ever hated anything.
With rage filling in my eyes, I went to launch for him with my sword. Unfortunately, he threw a ghast egg in my way before darting outside.
"You coward!" I screamed.
The ghast screamed right back at me. Luckily, with some swift moves and pushbacks from my sword, I reflected the ghasts power charge right back to it. It was soon dead.
Time wasn't to be wasted.
It was time to face him.
I stepped outside, the way he had gone. It was raining heavily now and the sky was almost pitch black. But I could see him stood there. At the end of the stone bridge.
It was him vs me.
"You should've left well enough alone Jesse!" He shouted darkly through the rain.
"What, and miss finally getting some revenge on you? No chance!"
He grunted through his teeth angrily "This was supposed to be MY world and you ruined it!"
Was he insane?!
"You're delusional Aiden! Nothing is ever going to be yours! Not now, not after this"
He smirked "We'll see about that"
Raising his sword in the air, he darted toward me. Luckily, I managed to deflect his movements but not the strength of his sword. It was enchanted like mine so strength vs strength was tough. We grunted as it took our energy. However, I managed to put his sword down and round in a circle before knocking him onto his back - by jabbing the sword into his nose.
I would've struck him right there and then but he soon rose to his feet. His determination was strong - but mine was even stronger.
With the rain pouring down my face at this speed, he wouldn't be able to tell I was crying. I screamed at him "You'll never win this Aiden!". With a bloody nose, he smirked standing up. He spoke through the blood "I won't stop until you're dead"
He ran at me again and grazed my face with the sword. It stung horribly. He could've got me but I managed to intercept and lift my leg up and kick him in stomach, making him jolt back. I made the first move and we were wielding our swords again. It was hard to deflect some movements and fight back and keep my energy up at the same time but I managed it.
But the more I kept fighting him, the more my anger grew. I felt I would either explode or scream. I couldn't describe it. I just wanted this to be a nightmare that I could wake up from.
And have Reuben alive.
And have a family.
Someone to love.
Have it all.
But Aiden ruined that. He ruined that all.
With cuts and bruises over our bodies, I delivered one last swing which sent him to his knees. I held the sword over him.
I had won.
I stared at him. If I ended this now, I couldn't make him feel what I feel. But if I didn't, he could get away with what he's done scot free.
From behind me, Reginald shouted "Jesse! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" I shouted back, but with no truth to it.
He sat up on his knees and.. he looked scared. He actually looked terrified. "Wait wait wait h-hang on! I surrender! I surrender, we can talk about this right?!"
Was he serious?
"Here, you want your flint and steel back huh? It's all yours!" He threw it toward me.
I scoffed. He frowned as I laughed. No humour though.
"You think I want that Flint and Steel? You think that is what I care about?! The only thing I cared about was my pig and you took him away from me!" I screamed.
He looked behind me at Reginald, then at me apologetically "I- I'm sorry Jesse. I didn't mean it"
Bullshit.
"What do you want to do with him Jesse?"
....
What did I want to do?
What did I want to do with the person who harrassed me, bullied us, stabbed my mother, tried to kill me and actually killed Reuben..?

Walking up to him, I bent down and grabbed him by the collar. He stared at me confused. Quietly, but darkly, I whispered "I want to show you something"
I yanked him to his feet and dragged him along with me. I threw him down beside a waterfall that also would lead to the ground. He stared down at it "Are.. are you sending me over?"
"What do you think?"
"Oh.. well I guess I'll see you down there then" He laughed to sound like a different character in front of Reginald.
I didn't want Reginald to watch this. I didn't want to have a witness, someone who knew. But I had to do this.
Sinisterly, I said "I'm not throwing you over here Aiden. But first, you're gonna know what it feels like not to breathe. Like I felt when I lost Reuben"
"Wh-"
I dunked his head into the water before he could reply. I wanted him choke and die but this wasn't going to be easy.
"Jesse.. You're going to kill him, stop!" Reginald tried pulling me away.
"Get off me!"
I turned back and watched Aiden. He was struggling desperately.
Eventually, I pulled him out of the water. He coughed loudly "You.. psycho bitch!"
"It takes one to know one" I growled as I dragged him up and over to the side, past the waterfall. I pressed my knee into his back so he was looking over.
"See, now Aiden, you have felt how I felt. Now you get to feel how Reuben felt. As he fell from a fate you could've helped him escape from. But you didn't" I spat the last words out.
"Jesse, don't!-" Reginald begged.
But it was too late.
With a grunt, I kicked him straight over the edge.
He screamed as he fell.
I'd thrown him so he wouldn't land on water. He would land.. on land.
I could feel Reginalds shocked look behind me. But I didn't care.

Aiden the Blaze Rod was dead.
And I was the one who killed him.
