Jesse ran, her vision blurred and sweat trickling down her neck. She felt nothing but panic and fear as blood stained her arm red.

PAMA was back. PAMA was back. PAMA was back.

Suddenly, she stopped, frozen. The villagers. The people. They were all...still. Red-eyed and motionless. No, no, no- Jesse thought, looking around quickly. She was too late, her fear had just become a reality. PAMA had already done its job, and now everyone was useful. Chips, a little more advanced now, were stuck on the back of everyone's head. How had she not noticed?

Jesse's eyes widened as the whole group of people suddenly advanced toward her, all in sync, glowing eyes piercing through her.

"GiVE uP JESSE." The people chorused, as she turned to run.

She had to find the rest of the Order, hoping that they hadn't already been turned.

Jesse gasped as her foot caught on a a rock, causing her to trip.

*****************************

Jesse cried out as she tripped, feeling a pair of arms wrap around her.

"Careful Jesse," Lukas teased, his blue eyes sparkling. She smiled, standing up straight. Then she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks for having my back," she said gratefully, grabbing his hand. He smiled.

"That's what you do for the people you love right?" He replied, keeping his arms around Jesse. "Don't worry, I'll always have your back."

"And I'll have yours."

********************************

Jesse snapped back to reality, feeling someone catch her in their arms right before she hit the ground. She looked up.

"Jesse?" A voice said, coming from a muscular, green clothed male. Relief pulsed through her.

"Axel! Thanks." She replied happily, and stood up straight. Axel was looking around, confused at the mob of people.

"What happened? Also, what's the deal with your arm?" He asked, staring at her arm, which was dripping with blood. Jesse shook her head.

"I'll explain later, just run!" She ordered, breaking into a sprint, Axel following close behind.

"Where are the others?" She asked quickly, turning around to see the group of people chasing after them.

"At the treasure room. Why?" He answered, in between breaths.

"Just answer my questions Axel, I'll promise I'll try to answer everything later."

The two ran as fast as they could, trying to escape the crowd.

"YOU CANNOT ESCAPE." PAMA said. "I WILL FIND YOU. AND WHEN I DO, I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR WHOLE WORLD WILL FALL."
