(Edit: sorry, I had some posting issues)

Jesse P.O.V.

Here I am again. The Blaze Rod household. I place a hand on my hip as I tilt my head a it to observe the building once more.

If we added some more blocks to make it a bit bigger and repair some of the cracks and holes, I think this would be a great house.

I shake my head and refocus on what I was doing here in the first place. I look on the left side of the house, and then go to the right. There's a light coming from one of the windows, and as I get closer, I can hear the sounds of angry voices.

I press myself against the wall and close to the window and stay silent to make out what they're saying.

"You just need to keep your mouth shut." Someone says. "Or something bad is going to happen, got it?"

"We can live here! We can have a life! You don't want that? You said it yourself, you want a second chance! You really want to throw this all away for some stupid-what? Revenge?"

"You wanted that too, remember? You helped Maya and I back in Sky City! They took everything from us, don't you remember?"

"Please, we've changed, haven't we? I just want...I just want a happy life now. Forget about the past, we can make it better. Forget about this, payback. It'll only make things worse. And things are going so well right now, you really want to screw that up?"

"I think that's the point."

"We've finally got a second chance. What was all that for? A show? Us begging for a chance, was that all fake?"

"We act kind and loving now, put on a disguise and treat them like friends. They finally trust us, well, Jesse does anyway-"

Upon hearing my name I freeze, and accidently lose my balance and have to lean against another part of the wall for support.

Creak.

Crap, I think rapidly, praying that they didn't hear me. Unfortunately, not.

"What was that?"

"No one cares. Just...go back to bed."

I hear footsteps and then the closing of the door. I breathe a sigh of relief and slump back against the wall.

What the hell were Gil and Aiden talking about?!

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

I sit on the steps of their porch, their words still in mind. I finally trusted them, was that all a mistake? Letting them stay?

I shake my head and bury my face in my hands. No, I need proof. They've changed. They wouldn't do that. Aiden wouldn't do that. Would he?

A creak of a door and bright light shining behind me alerts me to my senses.

"Jesse?" Aiden asks, making me turn and stand up. "What are you doing here?"

I smile weakly and wave, moving some hair out of my face.

"Hey, Aiden. I couldn't sleep, and I figured-you would be awake too-" I shrug as he smiles too. "-and I was right."

"Alright, let's go." He says, closing the door and grabbing my hand, pulling me along with him in surprise.

"What?"

"You couldn't sleep, right? So let's be awake." He says, smirking at me. "I needed some fresh air anyway."

I laugh with him as our footsteps pound on the ground, the moonlight shining above us as we run into the forest.

Lukas P.O.V.

"You've got the killer's blood?!" I exclaim, still shocked, running a hand through my hair and staring at the glass shard stained with red. Ivor grins at me and nods.

"Now, whoever's blood matches this one is the killer! Easy-peasy!" He replies, satisfaction clear in his voice. A smile curves at the end of my lips. This is perfect!

"We just have to run a blood test on the suspects and find the one that matches."

"Any suspects you have in mind?" Ivor asks, already knowing my answer.

I walk over to my window and eye the Blaze Rood household.

"Quite a few."

Suddenly, the door opens to reveal Aiden, and who is that-Jesse?! I squint to get a closer look. What are those two doing? Why are they awake at this time of night?

I watch as they talk to each other, and then Aiden grabs her arm and starts leading her into the forest.

I grit my teeth and then freeze in fear.

Aiden is the killer. And he's going to kill her tonight.

Oof, making progress~

Oh Aiden, tsk tsk. Thing's aren't looking good for you, pretty boy ;)

But I mean, you're getting the girl, sooo~

Haha okay, I'll stop talking now
