Lukesse Oneshots~2018 Wattys

Linked Love

If any of you know GreyFox, you've probably heard of her new series called Linked Love. This is what I think will happen in the story. But dang, I just realized this is really dark. But it does get really cheesy at times. ^.^

Jesse looked up at the person she had accidentally run into. Her green eyes widened in shock.

"Hey, sorry about that, you okay?"

Jesse met the blue eyes of the man who had caught her before she fell. There was nothing in his eyes that said he recognized her.

The ebony-haired girl started to tear up. She quickly stood up straight and dropped her head, trying to prevent any tears from falling.

"Is everything okay?"

Jesse nearly turned on her heel and ran. She had to face this Lukas. She needed that key to get back home.

"Y-Yeah. I just had a question to ask....."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Do you by any chance have a key that you found and have no real use for?"

Lukas raised an eyebrow.

"A key that has no use? Why would you need that?"

Jesse started to mentally freak out. Should she tell the truth? Should she lie? Would he give her the key if she told the truth?

"I-I'm a collector. I collect odd things. Keys with no use, clocks that don't work, you know..."

'Wow. Stooping to lying. Greeeaaaaaaaaat.'

"Oh. Well, that's cool. Yeah, I have a key like that. Here."

With that, Lukas dropped a rusted key into Jesse's hand. This one was different from the others. Mainly because of the fact this one was rusted beyond belief while the others were nice and shiny.

"Thanks. This is perfect."

Jesse quickly pocketed the key and turned on her heel, running away. She had to get back to Reva's sister so she could find where the portal to her world was.

"We're almost there."

Jesse followed Ivy as they trekked up the mountain. They finally reached the top of the mountain. There was nothing there.

"Uhhh, not to be rude but, there's nothing here."

"It's here. Trust me."

Ivy walked forward and kneeled on the ground, running her hand across the dirt. She brushed away some and motioned for Jesse to walk over. Jesse came up and kneeled beside Ivy. There were five holes in the ground in a small circle.

"Put the keys in each hole."

Jesse grabbed the keys and placed each one in each slot until she only had one key left.

Lukas' key.

She went up to the last hole and placed the key in the slot.

Well, tried to.

No matter what she did, the key wouldn't fit. Jesse finally gave up and sat on the ground, looking at the key in anguish.

"Why won't it work?" she whimpered.
