"It'll Be OK"

Plot Requested by @Ren_Is_My_Bae 

It was storming wildly, violent gusts of wind tugging at Jesse's loose hair. Her armour as well as the clothes underneath were soaked with water, drenching her in bitter cold.

But Jesse didn't care. She was grinning broadly, excitement and adrenaline overcoming the cold. Fending off the groaning zombies, sending her sword through them one by one.

Jesse turned her head, exchanging glances with Petra. The warrior was also soaking wet, her red hair sticking to her forehead. She grinned at Jesse, turning her attention back to the many mobs surrounding them.

Turning her gaze away as well, Jesse launched herself at the coming mobs. She's never experienced as many mobs all at once, the fight almost hard.

But she loved it.

"Take that!" Jesse bellowed, somersaulting underneath an approaching arrow, her left leg delivering a swift kick to the skeleton's legs.

Before the un-dead creature even had a moment to think about getting up, Jesse's sword was wedged into the side of his skull, killing him instantly.

Jesse ripped her sword out of the skeleton's head, holding it up into the air in victory. The rest of the mobs were still a few yards away, giving her a moment to gloat.

"Jesse!" Petra called out suddenly.

Jesse glanced over to see Petra waving at her frantically. The redhead's eyes were wide, her expression best described as "horrified". Jesse held up her hands in confusion, showing Petra that she didn't understand what the problem was.

"Behind you!" Petra called frantically, waving her hands desperately. "Creeper! Charged!"

Jesse turned around on the spot, only getting a glimpse of glinting green. Then just darkness, with the faint echo of an explosion.

-------------------------

Petra couldn't do anything, but watch. She was too far away to get to Jesse in time.

The charged creeper blew up just as Jesse turned around. Petra screamed in horror, seeing Jesse get hurtled backwards by the massive explosion, her limp body rolling a good few metres before stopping.

One of the zombies standing near immediately started advancing towards the unconscious, defenseless, girl on the ground, grunting and moaning.

Striking and killing the mobs in her way, Petra started running towards them as fast as her legs could carry her.

"Get off her!" She screamed, kicking the zombie that was clawing at Jesse, away. She brought her sword down on it's back, it dying with a pained groan.

Petra stepped protectively over Jesse's limp form, ready to protect her from any mobs. She could just about making out the faint rise and fall of Jesse's chest, it being the only sign that she was alive.

Petra glanced back up anxiously, noticing hundreds of mobs, advancing towards them. She could hold her own against them, but could she protect Jesse as well?

"Screw this." Petra muttered, slipping her golden blade into her belt, and bending down to Jesse, lifting her friend off the ground.

Jesse wasn't heavy, and Petra was able to carry her with ease. Holding Jesse tightly to her chest, Petra started running. Rain pelted down on her like tiny bullets, the cold wind tugging at her red hair.

Petra silently cursed under her breath, wishing they didn't stray so far from the cave they were taking shelter in. Finally she was able to spot the dark hole that was the cave entrance.
