Order of the Puppets (A MCSM fanfic)

~Chapter four~

Jesse stared at me, her scarlet eyes flickering in and out of their normal green color.

Hit eyes were wide with fear, a dead body next to her.

What happened to Jesse?

Why is she scared of me?

"Jesse-"

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Snarled Jesse, her tone causing me to flinch.

"Jesse why are you-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU DEMON!" Cried Jesse, holding up a knife.

I jumped back, looking at the rabid-looking Jesse.

"W-what are you talking about?"

Demon?

She had the knife outstretched, glaring at me.

"GO AWAY- OR I'LL STAB YOU."

Why... Why was Jesse acting like this?

Why am I feeling... Different?

Leave, Lukas.

My feet wandered to the other side of the room, walking back into the dungeons.

I saw a puddle of water on the dark ground, it's shiny surface beckoning me to come forth.

I gazed into the pool.

My..my eyes must be playing tricks on me...

This can't be real...

Black eyes with ominous pupils were staring back at me, a huge grin spread across my face. My teeth were much sharper than normal, making me cringe inside.

Blood caked my face and head, as well as my clothes-

My hand wandered to the place where I vaguely remember something being there.

I wish I hadn't.

I felt metal- the cold hard surface of metal, replacing where there should be bone.

My terrifying self looked back at me, making me want to curl up and die.

What had happened to me?!

Why was I like this?

AfTER AlMOsT dYiNg, BeInG fRAMeD, AnD hAvING aN oLD FrIEND BetrAY mE- I mIghT acTUAlly bE goINg InSaNE!

I laughed, my voice sounding robotically maniacal.

I continued to laugh, cackling for no reason.

You understand, Lukas?

You're apart of me.

I'm apart of you.

We are one.

You are Dark Lukas, and you are our most powerful weapon.

I continued laughing, never seeming to run out of breath.

Just because you have no lungs, though, doesn't mean you should continue to drive everyone insane.

Seriously, though. You should stop laughing.

...

Olivia...

Axel...

Petra...

Lukas...

Jesse.

They were all brainwashed.

Lukas was turned into a robotic human, scaring the crap out of me every time I thought about him.

Lukas and his friends didn't deserve this.

This isn't okay.

I'm a COWARD for not HELPING LUKAS AND HIS FRIENDS.

Tears fell down my face, my body trembling.

I have to help them.

Somehow.

And I don't care what it takes.

...

None of this is fair.

None of it.

I punch the prision bars, my knuckles bloody from broken bones there.

I feel no pain.

I hear terrifying cackling sounds carrying somewhere else from the dungeon, making chills run up my spine.

"...help.." Squeaked a voice, sounding somewhat like the blond freak I know.

"Lukas?" I ask, the metal in the back of my head making my vision go blurry.

A figure that looked like Lukas came up to me, his face pausing right outside the prison bars.

My eyes widened, Lukas scaring me.

"Y-you're not Lukas.." I breathed, flattening against the wall.

"That's right. I'm Dark Lukas. Here to tell you that I'm your new leader."

Leader?

"You are now a member of the AntiOrder. With the same members as before, we will work to make the world better for tomorrow"

The blood on him was scaring me, along with the wires sticking out of him.

This isn't Lukas. It's a computer meant to scare you.

Ignore it.

"It's me, Axel." He purred, his voice sickeningly comforting. "You can trust me."

I looked up at his pitch-black eyes, his white pupils staring back at me.

"If you don't come with me at will-" he growled, turning my blood cold. "I will MAKE YOU COME WITH ME."
