Like My Brothers |Jerome/Jeremiah Valeska| (COMPLETED)

Chapter 2

I slowly wake up but realize I'm in the same place. Who the hell knocked me out, and why keep me here? I see that the followers disappeared. Wait, what about Jerome's grave? I look behind and notice that his grave got dug up. Oh my god, they took him. I hear people coming, so I hide behind the grave again.

"Jeremiah! Jeremiah!" I hear someone shout. I see Bruce starting to run away.

"Bruce!" I whisper. Bruce stops and turns around.

"Jersey? Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yeah. What's going on?" I ask.

"Jeremiah thought Jerome was alive. I tried to prove him wrong, but his followers might've taken him."

"I know. I saw that when I woke up."

"Woke up? So you were knocked out?"

"Yeah."

"Well, just stay here. I'll go get Jeremiah." I grabbed his hand when he started to leave.

"What if something happens?" I ask nervously.

"Nothing will happen."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Stay here, okay? Shout if you need me."

"Will do." He then chases after Jeremiah. I close my eyes and wait until they get back. After 15 minutes, I hear them coming back. I slowly look and notice Jeremiah is pointing a gun at Bruce. I also notice Jerome's body is back. I gasp, and Bruce signals me to turn around. I nod my head and turn around.

"Just a little bit further, brother. Then you'll be back in your grave." Jeremiah says. Oh god, he's going nuts.

"You're stronger than this, Jeremiah. You know these ideas are just the insanity gas talking." Bruce says.

"I won't let your lies fool me any longer!" He gasps as he sees Jerome. "What is happening?"

"Now do you believe I'm not your brother? Jeremiah, listen to me! Jerome's followers are doing this! Nothing else makes sense. He sent them instructions to torment you." Bruce shouts as Jeremiah looks at Jerome.

"How fake. Yes, I can see quite clearly where you cut off poor Bruce's face, and stitched on your own. But I am a man of science. So, let's have some evidence, huh?" I look again and notice he's trying to cut Bruce with a knife. I turn around quickly so he doesn't notice me. "Let's go, brother. Let's pull off that grotesque facade." They continue to fight until Bruce gets him in a choke hold.

"Jeremiah! Do not let him turn you into him! Do not let Jerome win this battle!"

"Jerome, beat me? That'll be the day." Jeremiah gets out of the choke hold. The followers then come out of hiding and 2 of them grab Bruce.

"No!"

"Long live Jerome! Long live Jerome! Long live Jerome!" People start shouting as Jeremiah starts to laugh.

"Jerome is victorious at last!" A guy says as he starts laughing. Jeremiah grabs a gun and shoots him in the chin. Bruce and I gasp as we see the guy fall to the ground.

"Jerome victorious? Are you serious? He's dead. Haven't you been paying attention?" Jeremiah says as he takes a cloth. He wipes his face, which reveals a pale face. He kicks Jerome back into his grave. "I am the one who's victorious."

"Oh my god," I whisper.

"You can come out now Jersey," Jeremiah says. Shit, he caught me. I hesitate at first, but I start standing up. Just so he doesn't hurt Bruce.
