Hey guys! Chapter 17 everyone! Enjoy! Btw, listen to the song above when you feel like it. It's a good song from a good movie! XD.

------------------

Preiously on Dark Veins:

"Not!"he muttered to himself as he continued to go down the way Lukas was.

Lukas remembered something as he looked at his mom.

"Hey mom?"he asked over the wind.

Xara looked up. "Yes?"she asked, sitting casually in the sky.

"I-nevermind mom. See you at the bottom!"he yelled, deciding now wasn't a good time to ask her about something.

Xara shrugged.

(No one's POV)

Crash! Was the sound you could hear from miles. Xara winced as she watched Soren literally fall to the ground. She walked over to him.

"That was a fabulous fall! You should do that again!"Xara said sarcastically.

Whoosh! Went an arrow flying aimed for her head. She ducked and it hit Soren in the arm.

"Ow. Must you always try to hurt me either physically or mentally?"Soren questioned himself.

Xara bursted out laughing. Her laughs were so loud that it made nearby animals want to die. James looked at Lukas and pointed to the laughing Xara. Lukas sighed as he walked up to his mom. He picked up a rock that was lying nearby and threw it at her.

Xara blinked. "Oooooo. That hurt a but. What did you do that for? It's not like I was killing animals with my laughter. *scoffs* Omg you think I did. Wow. Just wow."she said.

Lukas and James exchanged looks. James stepped up.

"You're right Xara. Like your laughter could kill animals. Am I right Lukas?"James lied, winking at Lukas.

Lukas caught on to the partial lie and smiled.

"Yeah totally."he said.

"Haha! See I told you I can't kill animals with laughter! It's impossible!"Xara yelled.

'Jesse please help me!'

--------------------

Her arm stung with long lasting pain from the horrid whip. Jesse slowly opened her eyes as she looked around.

"Glad your awake. We managed to find your precious friends."Mevia said.

"It turns out, they weren't even on the world. They were underneath the world in a place called Sunshine Institutes."Otto told Jesse.

What? Her mind thought no words.

"Don't worry Hadrian found them and is planning on hurting them especially the blond guy. You love him don't you?"Mevia said getting right into Jesse's face.

She resisted the urge to slap Mevia so hard as she narrowed her green eyes.

Mevia laughed. "What's the blond guy's name again? Oh, yeah. Lukas."she said, giving Jesse an evil sinister smile.

Green eyes widened as they frantically searched for a way out of the room. Jesse saw, out of the corner of her eye, an escape route. A way out of here and to Lukas. She grinned silently as Otto stepped up to her.

He swiftly and silently gave her a key as she looked up at him, confusion painted on her face.

"What are you doing? Why are you helping me?"she asked him as she untied her hands.

She got to work untying her legs as Otto sighed. As soon as her legs were free, she stood up, walking wobbly towards Otto.

"I helped you because I see a lot of me inside you. Your a warrior who's weapon is her friends. Go to your friends Jesse, they miss you."he said, pulling something out from his pockets.

"I want you to have this Jesse. "Otto said as he handed her a blue and yellow glowing book. "This is the Atlas, it should guide you home. Just say where you wanna go and the Atlas will do the rest."he added, giving her a small smile.

"Thank you Otto. For everything."Jesse said.

That was the last time Otto would see Jesse for she was on an adventure to find her friends. The only problem she encountered was how.

She pulled out the Atlas as she traced her finger across it. 

*A/N: Play the music now.*

Jesse looked up and saw stars in the night sky. It had turned night a few minutes ago and she could hear mobs spawning. Jesse found a dirt hut and decided to spend the night there. She kept her sword out just in case mobs came for her.

"Why can't I sleep?"Jesse muttered to herself.

She stood up and walked over to the window. Leaning her arm against it, Jesse stared at the stars in the beautiful night sky.

*A/N: Stop music now.*

"I promise Lukas. I'll find you and others soon."she said to herself.

"Who's Lukas?"asked a voice.

Jesse jumped.
