Chapter 4: Flashback
Jake has been walking for a few hours since leaving Blizentia and had just left it's snowy border.
Jake: "(in head) I've never left Blizentia before..."
Jake looks up and sees the moon dangling in the dark sky.
Jake: "I should find shelter."
Jake stumbles across the rougher terrain.
Jake: "Holy shit this is uncomfortable!"
Jake trips over a rock.
Jake: "(upon impact) Ouch!"
Jake quickly gets up and notices a small hole in the ground and finds it uninhabited.
Jake: "(in head) This should work."
Jake gets into as much of a comfortable position as possible.
Jake: "(in head) I should get some sleep. I need to be as awake as possible for the longer trek ahead."
As Jake falls asleep, he keeps asking himself one question...
Jake: "(in head) Can I do this? All I've been is a punching bag my whole life. How can I work with people who I haven't met yet?"
Jake falls asleep a few minutes later.
Jake: "(talking in sleep) This is me..."
Jake is dreaming about his past, back to when the bullying got out of hand when he was seven.
Young Jake: "(crying) STOP IT!!!"
Young Ty: "(teasing) Is little crybaby weirdo throwing a tantrum."
Ty slugs Jake in the jaw and sends him to the ground with a bloody nose.
Young Ty: "You're nothing like us! You weren't like the hundreds of newborns just like you. You survived!"
Jake attempts to stand up until Ty steps on his head, holding him down.
Young Jake: "(bawling) LET ME GO!"
Young Ty: "Why should I listen to a kid who is supposed to be like every other victim and die?!"
A young five year old notices Jake's blood trail.
Kid: "Leave him alone!"
The kid lands a good one on the back of Ty's head.
Young Ty: "(annoyed) Looks like his little brother wants to join the party!"
Ty grabs the kid by the arm as the boy pitifully attempts to struggle his way out.
Young Jake: "Isaac!"
Young Isaac: "(Pissed) This bullshit needs to stop Ty!"
Ty slams Isaac into the ground like a kid throwing a toy they don't want anymore on the ground.
Young Ty: "(annoyed) You know, for being five, you have a pretty shitty mouth there!"
Young Isaac: "(in pain) I will always be there for my brother!"
Jake watches in horror as Ty, who is twice their size, constantly smashing his fists in his younger brother's face.
Young Ty: "See what your very existence does Ayleaus? The fact that the thought of your arm makes people want to beat a senseless little kid like him means that you should've never existed!"
These words hit Jake in a place he never knew existed in the depths of his soul.
Young Jake: "(sweating) Its true..."
Young Isaac: "Don't a bastard like this guy get to you Jake!"
Ty finishes pummeling Isaac's face, which looks like a purple, bloody mess.
Young Ty: "To think that your younger brother is the one who stands on his two feet."
Ty walks up to Jake and pummels his face just as hard.
Young Ty: "This is the pain of all those who weren't as fortunate as you!"
Ty quickly finishes and walks away as if nothing happened.
Young Ty: "(mumbling to himself) For my sister..."
Isaac quickly stands up.
Young Isaac: "I'm going to take that bastard down a few pegs one of these days..."
Isaac holds his hand out to Jake.
Young Isaac: "C'mon bro, let's go home."
Jake stands up himself.
Young Jake: "Is it true?"
Young Isaac: "Just shake it off and walk away like always!"
Jake wakes up at this point in the memory.
Jake: "(panting, sweating) Isaac..."
The sun begins to rise.
Jake: "I need to take your memories to my heart."
Jake stands up.
Jake: "I need to do my best to keep me to myself and let others see you."
Jake begins to walk.
Jake: "(in head) Until I'm ready to show everyone who I am and how I will change."
Jake continues his trek to Pysoris.
