Jayden 'JD' Connor's life is completely changed around when a Terminator from the future is sent back to her time to protect her at all costs so she can become the Leader of the Resistance.

Chapter 1
If there was one thing JD Connor knew, is that the whole 'end of the world' was bullshit. Maybe her mom really was delusional. That's why Sarah Connor was stuck in a mental institution because she tried to blow up a computer factory when JD was just a kid. Sarah had been shot and captured and JD had been thrown into foster care, which she really fucking hated. She wasn't a kid for normal life since all her mom had taught her was weaponry, computer technology and stuff that would be an advantage for her being the Leader of the Resistance. JD hated school as well and got into a bunch of trouble, having a police record by the age of 10 and was expelled from school by the age of 14.
Normal life was not for her.
Janelle and Todd were okay...ish. They could be dickheads when they wanted to be and JD hated living with them. They weren't abusive, but sometimes they could be emotionally abusive, calling her a moron and a 'stupid bitch' because they didn't want her. They only wanted the fucking money that came with the fostering program. After JD turned 18, she fucking left that place and went to live with friends. She crashed at different places at least twice a week and stole money from various people. It was easy. Mom taught it to her when they had been living off the grid. JD knew they had to fend for themselves somehow. Her mother had taught her a lot of things that were at least somewhat useful to JD. Being 22-years old and living on her own, life really couldn't get any better.
"JD, you ready to go?!"
"Just a minute!" JD called back, shoving on her knee high boots and her leather jacket. She fixed her dark gray tank top and adjusted the necklaces around her neck. Running a hand through her pixie cut hair, JD sighed deeply and grabbed her backpack, then headed out for a day of fun with her best friend. Mika was a rebel young woman just like JD and had a similar style, and most people mistook them for siblings, when in all they were just best friends. Mika was already waiting by JD's bike, smoking a cigarette. "You ready to go have some fun at the arcade?"
"Fuck yeah." JD grinned and got on her bike, revving it up. Once it was good to go, Mika got on behind her and they were off, heading to grab some money. Now, JD got her money from people she didn't know, AKA she stole it using a keyboard and a card that her mother had given her. They went to a random ATM and Mika stood guard while JD got her stuff out. "Please insert your stolen card now..." she mused to herself, typing a few keys.
"Where'd you learn this stuff anyway?" Mika asked, keeping a look out.
"My mom, my real mom, not Janelle." JD replied, brushing her hair out of her face again. The numbers on the screen went by quickly and she smirked in victory when the pin number came up. She put in the pin number and withdrew about 500 dollars. She put that money in her bag and they went to a few more ATMs and withdrew more money from different accounts, coming up to just a little over 3000. JD whistled and put the money in her bag.
"This her?" Mika asked.
JD glanced up and saw Mika holding a picture of Sarah Connor, back when she had been pregnant with JD and had a German Shepherd with her. "Yeah." she said, taking the picture and putting it back in her bag. "She's stuck in a mental institution right now because she tried to blow up a computer factory when I was a kid."
"Damn." Mika said softly.
"She's a fucking psycho." JD scoffed. "C'mon, let's head over to the mall."
Mika got on behind JD and they were off to the mall. JD couldn't help the churning that she got in her stomach, as if something bad was going to happen soon. She shook it off, thinking it was just nerves. She sighed through her nose and took a shortcut to the mall so they wouldn't get stuck in traffic.
About fifteen minutes later, the feeling of dread still didn't go away even as they parked in the underground garage at the mall and went inside to get to the Galleria. They both got a bunch of quarters after grabbing food and went to go play some games. Mika was surprised by how intense JD was at games. The times they had gone to the Galleria, JD hadn't been so focused before.
"You sure you're feeling alright?" Mika asked after JD was done with her game.
"Yea, why?"
"Just asking. You look kinda pale." Mika replied, concerned for her best friend.
"I'm fine. Let's just play." JD said, ignoring the dread she felt in her stomach.
"Alright. I'm gonna get some more quarters. Be right back." Mika said and headed off to find some quarters, seeing a young police officer coming her way.
"Hey, you seen this kid?" the officer asked Mika, showing her a picture of a teenager.
Mika almost went frigid. It was a picture of JD when she was 17. True, JD was older now, but she didn't look much different from when she was 17 to being 22 now. Mika wondered if this officer had seen them take money out of the ATMs. "Nah, I don't know her." Mika lied, giving a smile to the officer as she hurried back to JD. "JD!"
"Hold on." JD said as she killed another enemy in her game.
"Hey, there's this cop scooping for you. I think he saw you." Mika said nervously.
JD swallowed nervously and looked over Mika's shoulder, seeing a young police officer asking a teenager. The teenager pointed right at JD and JD felt her heart skip a beat when the officer's cold, emotionless green eyes turned to her. JD knew this cop was trouble and she had to get out of here.
"Just split, okay?" Mika said quickly.
"Yea. I'll call you later." JD nodded and jumped off the game, grabbing her bag and shoving her arms through as the cop started making his way over to her. She rushed towards the double doors that led behind the Galleria, pushing one of them open and hurrying down the hallway. She wasn't planning on going to jail for something she needed, so she knew she just had to get away. That was why she felt dread. Her mind knew she would be found out about the money.
She turned the corner, watching out for the cop as she ran. An employee saw her run past him, quickly yelling at her. "Hey, you're not supposed to be in here!"
JD ignored him, running towards the next set of double doors and pushing them open, coming to a fork. She could go left, or right. As she turned to the right to run, her heart stopped.
A huge man wearing all black, including leather pants, a black t-shirt and a leather jacket with boots and wearing sunglasses was walking towards her, holding a long box of roses in his left hand. JD's eyes widened in complete horror as the man opened the box, bringing out a shotgun and stepping on the roses as he walked towards her, cocking the shotgun.
Oh fuck me! JD thought and ran back into the hallway, trying for one of the doors. To her horror, they were all locked. She had two men after her and both of them had guns. And she had nowhere to go.
JD looked over as the cop came walking around the corner, drawing out his gun and pointing it at her. She whirled around to see the big guy come into the hallway and aim the shotgun right at her. All the blood drained from her face as she realized one of them was going to shoot her dead.
"Get down." the big man said, his voice deep and his accent thick as well, which she couldn't describe.
JD dropped to the ground immediately and yelped when the big man fired the shotgun, hitting the cop right in the chest. But instead of blood spurting out from the hole, a big, silvery hole was there. It had only jerked, but then it stood right back up, glaring at the bigger male. JD scrambled to get up to get out of the room, but the bigger male came to her quickly and seized her by the back of her jacket, his free arm going around her quickly as he turned to shield her with his body. She barely reached his shoulders. She heard the cop firing his gun and hitting the one shielding her, but instead of hearing the bullets hit flesh, she heard them hit metal. How was that even possible? Was this guy shielding her...a Terminator?
Once the cop ran out of bullets, the bigger male slammed his arm into the door next to them, smashing it open and shoving JD inside to protect her from getting shot. JD stayed in the room as she heard the cop firing at the bigger male, then the sound of the shotgun firing and a thud. JD barely breathed as she looked just around the door frame, seeing the bigger man reload the shotgun and the cop on the floor, motionless, with more silvery holes in his torso. Without warning, the holes closed up and he jumped up, tacking the bigger man through the dry wall.
JD sought this opportunity to run like a bat out of hell, literally skipping steps as she hurried to the parking garage. She knew she needed to get out of here. She finally made it down to the parking garage and ran to her bike, quickly trying to revved it up so she could get away. She heard a door slam open and she looked up to see the cop coming her way.
"Come on!" she cried and finally her bike started. She quickly drove off, looking over her shoulder to see the cop running after her. Shit, he was fucking fast!
JD followed the exit, but decided to take a shortcut and drove right through the bushes, hearing a woman yell out in surprise and fear. JD glanced over her shoulder and saw the cop STILL running after her. Just what the fuck was this guy?!
She drove right into traffic, nearly missing a semi. The wind whipped her hair in her face as she drove and she glanced over her shoulder again, not seeing the cop anymore. She let out a sigh of relief and decided to take a side street, taking the same road that she had taken with Mika earlier. After about five minutes of driving, she finally came to a stop, breathing heavily. The cop wasn't after her anymore.
"What the fuck is going on?" she whispered to herself, wiping a bead of sweat away from her forehead.
Just as she put her arm down, JD heard the sound of tires squealing on the bridge above her and she looked up to see a semi coming right off the bridge, crashing on the ground as the front windows cracked and broke, shattering into a million pieces. JD felt her blood run cold as she saw the cop in the driver's seat.
She revved her bike and drove off quickly, glancing over her shoulder to see the semi driving right after her, crashing objects under it's heavy tires. JD could feel tears welding in her eyes, not wanting to die. She knew very well this man, this THING, was going to kill her if she didn't get away. She shook the tears from her eyes and continued driving.
As the cop began slamming the semi into the walls, JD heard another sound.
The sound of a motorcycle.
It got closer and closer. She glanced over to her right and nearly had a heart attack when she saw the bigger man from earlier on a black motorcycle drive right up to her. He merely reached over and grabbed her by the back of her jacket and lifted her with no effort, off her bike and sat her down onto the bike in front of him. Her hands gripped the metal in front of her, sweaty as her nerves went into overdrive. She glanced over her shoulder as the bigger male took out his shotgun and fired at the semi, taking out the left front tire. The bigger male looked back in front of him as they drove under a bridge. JD hunkered down, feeling the body of the male protect her as an explosion occurred behind them.
He stopped the bike, and JD glanced over her shoulder again as the male took out his shotgun and fucking twirled it with one hand. Who the fuck does that? A lone tire on fire came out of the explosion and the male was silent. He placed the shotgun back in it's holster and JD turned her attention back in front of her as they drove off, away from the explosion.
JD knew she had to find out what was going on.
