MCSM One-shots ٩(♡ε♡ )۶

Strings (Puppet!Jesse X Petra)

*Puppet!Jesse is an AU I created for my story 'Escaping Together'. He will be revealed in detail later in the story, so this one shot is just a little spoiler. Anyways, enjoy!

Think of him as Wither!Jesse if you're not comfortable.

Petra's POV.

"Got to...get out...of here..."

I winced in pain as the blood from my wound trickled down my arms. There's no source of water, since I'm in the Nether.

"Lukas...Ivor...where are you..." I said to no one in particular. This was stupid. I shouldn't come alone.

Turning into a corner, I sat down and rested for a bit. He might be close, but the corner is dark, so he might not notice me.

I wiped my sweat away, at the same time trying to stop the blood from flowing out. But it was no use. I didn't have the strength to rip out a piece of clothing to cover up the wound, so I just stayed silent.

My vision started to blur. The world around me swirled like a never-ending whirlpool, and slowly my conscious was drifting away. Light-headed, I collapsed, and before I passed out, a figure turned to where I was, and walked towards me.

He found me. I'm dead.

"Wake up."

"Did you not hear me? I said wake up."

"Awake, peasant!"

Annoyed by the voice, I groggily opened my eyes. I noticed that my hands were chained up, and my wound was bandaged.

"What..." I spoke softly.

"Master's going to arrive soon. Be sure you have a clear explanation, evidence, and alibi when you explain your presence here."

"Is this some sort of trial?" I said.

"You'll be executed if you spoke wrongly." The voice said.

I looked up and was shocked. The person who stood before me...was none other than Jesse!

"Jesse?! Is that you?!"

"...hm."

"Oh my god! At last I found you!" If the chains weren't tying me up, I would've jumped up instantly.

"Hold it! Do not touch me!" Jesse warned and pulled out a gun. "One step forward and I have all the master's rights to kill you off."

I tried to sit up, but failed. Instead, I used all my strength to lift my head up.

Jesse then walked over and lifted my chin up, making me stare at his green...blue eyes?

"You seem special, as if I had a connection with you. Though, I cannot remember. And asking my master would just mean sending my head off."

I was puzzled by his words. Master? And why was he speaking so formally?

"...you do not have any memory of me, don't you?"

He nodded. Although he has changed, I still couldn't deny the fact that he looked more handsome...more charming.

"How about Endercon? The Wither Storm? Sky City?!" I was desperate.

Jesse shook his head.

"That time where you saved me from getting controlled by PAMA!"

Jesse retrieved his hand, causing my chin to hit the hard Nether brick. He looked surprised, like I had just discovered his internet history.

"I...do not have any memory about that incident."

"Then how would you know it was an incident?"

Jesse was stunned. Maybe I recovered some parts of his memory. Nonetheless, he still smirked and bent down.

"Interesting. You're going to be useful to me." He caressed my cheek and I instantly blushed. "I'm going to keep you, even if it means hiding it from my master."

Puppet!Jesse BAD END 1

~·~

"Darling? It should be time where you wake up."

I dragged myself across the room and leaned against the door.

"Are you lazy? Well then..."

He raised his hands and immediately the strings controlling me brought me forward, inches away from his face.

Jesse pecked my nose and smirked. "Breakfast is served. Better eat quickly or these strings might get naughty." He waved his hands, showing the strings that were the master of my mind.

I nodded reluctantly, afraid to disobey Jesse.

To this day, the mastermind behind us is still pulling us on his strings, enclosing our freedom forever.
