Two Souls

Aiden glanced at the missing poster, taped to the bricked wall of the alley. The familiar emerald green eyes stared back at him as he swallowed nervously. Jesse was missing... or... that's what the townspeople thought.

"What do you think of this?" Aiden whispered, reaching out to smooth down the wrinkled paper.

"At least they got my face right. I remember back at the White Pumpkin Mansion... well, Cassie didn't exactly get Lukas's nose right."

Jesse's voice laughed in his head. Aiden managed a small smile, but deep down, he felt nervous.

He shouldn't be near the town, since the townspeople were still looking for him. "Aiden? What's wrong?" Jesse asked, worry in his voice as Aiden shook his head.

"It's okay, I was just... thinking." Aiden turned away from the picture, looking down at the gravel road. A sudden gust of wind made Aiden shiver, reminding him of... the Sky City prison. No, he couldn't remember that now.

If he remembered, Jesse would be able to pick up on his thoughts. And thoughts were dangerous. It was bad enough that Jesse was physically gone, but now that he was literally inside Aiden's head, made it a thousand times worse.

Ever since Jesse had been proclaimed 'missing' many people accused Aiden for killing him.

But they didn't know the true story.

It was in the evening when Jesse and Aiden visited Ivor, a self proclaimed alchemist who reassured them that all he wanted to do a simple experiment. But what they weren't expecting was that Ivor would make a potion to merge the two boys together.

Afterwards, it was just chaotic. It took some time just to get used to Jesse's voice in his head, to be honest... but then the rumours spread.

Many people saw Aiden running out of Ivor's lab, but without Jesse. Many people didn't trust Aiden after all, ever since the Sky City incident.. even after the whole incident with the Admin.

"Hey, you never really told me much about The Admin." Aiden muttered, leaning against a wall and looking over at a booth, where there was a man selling pork chops and various types of meat.

"Well, what's there to talk about? Romeo's dead. He sacrificed himself so that we could escape. And don't you dare to eat pork chops or I won't talk to you."

Aiden didn't listen, since he was busy trying to edge closer to the booth. It was nearly midnight, so there weren't many people around to catch Aiden but still, he had to be careful. "Aiden don't you dare steal a pork chop! Why don't you steal, I dunno, steak?" Jesse protested as Aiden waited for the man selling the food to turn his back on him.

"Sorry Jesse, but I'm hungry!" Aiden whispered, hiding in the shadows as the man turned, kneeling down to take something out of a chest.

Aiden edged closer, ready to steal. "Oh no you don't." Jesse exclaimed, as a sudden force made Aiden's hand jump back.

"What-! Jesse, I told you not to-." Aiden hissed, drawing backwards as the man turned and spotted Aiden. "Hey! It's you!" he yelled, grabbing a stone sword. Aiden stepped back as the man started to grab more weapons.

"I remember him!" Jesse said as Aiden turned and started to run, heading for the town gates. "He's that butcher who almost killed Reuben.."

"Run now, talk later, Jesse!" Aiden yelled, unsheathing his diamond sword as more alarms went off, and more people emerged from their houses.

"We're never gonna make it, Aiden! Look!" Jesse's voice yelled in his head as Aiden winced. "Use your inside voice!"
