Minecraft Story Mode: The Darkness Inside

Regret (Part 2)

(Shadow's POV)

I stood up in the corridor, clutching my wound across my stomach. It burnt when I moved. I moved my hand away. I held my weapon in hand. The world seemed to go in slow motion as I threw glowing red knifes at her. She barely dodged them. Suddenly, I clicked my fingers and a series of beams blasted behind her aiming right for her. I didn't purposely do it. I heard a voice in my head."You looked like you needed a little help there, Shadow." it said. It sounded like (normal) Jesse. I smiled. I frowned. At the same time. It was so long since I heard normal Jesse. I forgot. The voice haunted me. I felt my sins crawling through my backbone. It felt... painful? Geez. What was it? Guilt? Anger? Sadness? Regret? Misery? What is it!? I felt a painful shiver. It was like lava being poured down my back. Not cool. Kinda nervous, I toke a step back. I grinned. "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt ya, Jess." I said with a smile on my face. I tilted my head in a strange direction each time. It looked so strange. Left, right, left, left, right, left, right, right. Each time the eye on that side would turn red. I smiled. They barely dodged it again. I frowned."Why won't you die!" I muttered under my breath. I could almost touch the fear in Olivia's eyes. I felt worse and worse. Each attack felt wore. The guilt drowning me. A sandstorm of regret. The tornado of anger. The earthquake of misery. The tidal wave of sadness. After a while of rise and fall, I fell to my knees. Olivia wasn't attacking. Just dodging and yelling at me to stop. To snap out of it. Heh. I held out my hand. My powers won't work. I was unarmed."Heh. OK then. Finish the job." I said. Olivia looked at me, confused."Ya unarmed me, I'm nearly dead, ripe condition for killing. Of course if your tryna torture me and make my life hell, I'm cool with that. My life's already hell." I explained. She looked at me, now with a mix of confusion and worry."Look kid, this isn't the only world. We know that. But there are different timelines. They hardly connect sometimes. I bet there's a universe out there where you don't exist." I paused..."If there's a universe out there where you don't exist, there's one where I don't exist. Where I'm nothing and everything is normal, even better. Wait, how do I know I exist here? How do I know I exist anywhere? AM I EVEN REAL?"

(Olivia's POV)

I assured Lukas he was real. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!! I DON'T DESERVE MERCY IF I'M JUST NOTHING!!!" he spat out in rage. OH NOTCH!!! HE WAS ATTACKING!!! MORE VIOLENT THEN EVER!!! WHAT DO I DO? He seemed to read my mind. "I know what... DIE!!!!" he yelled aggressively. He charged at me. No. IT charged at me. I watched as it slashed me. This isn't Lukas. I doubt it'll ever be Lukas. I have no choosing in this. I have to run. I can't let Lukas kill me. I may of saved Axel and Ivor but Lukas is not there. I know sorry won't help. Well I guess. Guilt has no reset button. But power does. If I can save Lukas, I can save the world. I can save Jesse.
