I enjoyed writing this. Eric is one of my friends who is a senior and together we've shared some laughs, watched squirrels climb up our school wall, and got stabbed with giant pencils. Well I guess he isn't a senior anymore is he? Haven't seen him since school let out for summer. But he said he'd come back to bug us all during the school year :P Jacky is very loosely based off of me. Beside the strange sense of style and looks we don't share much else. She's way more daring and self reliant then I am. She also is willing to go into strange tunnels :D Ok ok so I've gone in a strange tunnel to your point? The tunnel I went through only lead to a river. Awesome river though! Anyways you've read enough of my blabbering.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except Jacky and Eric

"Talking"

Thinking

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Hey mom I'm going to the concert!" yelled Jacky. She looked at her pile of jewelry. Usually she only wore the skull bracelet and the heart necklace but something told her to also wear the cross bracelet along with her sword necklace and shuriken necklace. "What concert?" called her mom then stopped and thought about it. "Oh that one for a band that your always talking about? Well have fun." Jacky rolled her eyes. Wait for it, she thought. Her mom stuck her head in and looked at Jacky, "And be careful. Is anyone going with you?" Jacky examined herself in the mirror. "Yeah I'm going with Eric." she replied. Her mom nodded satisfied with that answer. Eric was her 18 year old friend who acted a lot like her big brother much to the annoyance of her biological older brother who was a year younger than Eric. "Why do you hang out with him so much? One of these days he's going to get you in big trouble." he sneered from the doorway. "Shut up Connor. If anyone was going to get me in trouble it'd be my failure of a brother." she snapped. All Eric had done was be nice but Connor refused to trust him.

Connor eyes softened. Even though they argued constantly he knew that she looked up to him and not just because she was short for her age. "You're fifteen you know I'm only trying to look out for you." he told her his mysterious black eyes shining with sadness. Jacky walked over to him and hugged him. "I know you are but you need to chill sometimes." she told him. "Honey Eric's outside!" yelled her mom. Jacky took one last look at herself in the mirror. Her bright purple eyes shined in the mirror. She didn't know why she was the only one in her family with purple eyes but she also didn't care. She gave her dark brown hair a small flip then walked out the door. She stopped before leaving and gave her guitar a longing look. "I'll play you when I get home," she said with a smile. A tall guy stood outside his messy blond and black hair covered only partial of his eye which shined a dark green in the darkness. He was wearing his usual black with tan stripes down the arm coat and regular jeans and tennis shoes. "Nice hair," he laughed. "Connor did it." she grumbled. The very tips of her hair were died a dark orange. "Oh well it makes me special." she said with a smile running up to him.

After a while of walking Jacky dared to ask the question that she knew Eric had a million answers for. "So why aren't you driving?" she asked. "Oh you know… No gas money, better for the environment, and lots of drunken bastards after the concert."

"In other words you lost your cell phone somewhere in city, your cat ate your hidden stash of chips, and you lost your keys and your wallet in that mess of a room."

"You know me so well."

They laughed as they walked side by side to the concert in which they both had been anticipating for months.

*****

"Best. Concert. EVER!" she shouted doing a random dance around Eric. "Exactly how many sodas did you have?" he asked. "Uhh… you shall never know." she told him.

"Oh no. Who gave you a Monster?"

"You."

"What?"

"I asked for a water and you gave me a Monster."

"Damn."

Jacky burst into laughter. Then suddenly she turned to him and hugged him. Her black sweatshirt blending in with his coat. He raised an eyebrow. "And what was that for?" he asked once she let go. "Well it isn't fair if I give Connor a hug and not you." she told him with a goofy smile plastered to her face. "Aww my little sister always making sure I don't feel left out." Her eyes darkened with a sudden memory and she stopped. He looked back and seeing the shine of happiness leaving her eyes he walked over to her. "I've told you many times before I'm not going to leave you. I'm your big brother and I'll protect you no matter what." Jacky smiled. "Thanks I needed that." she told him then continued.

When they were walking next to the river Jacky paused and looked at the old looking bridge. Eric also stopped knowing that she needed a few moments. She didn't know why but she always drawn to this area. "I know we are supposed to go straight home but please for old time's sake can we go under the bridge?" she asked. Eric put a hand on her shoulder. "That's not a good idea…" She shrugged his hand off and began climbing down anyways. "Why do you ask when you do it anyways?" he sighed following after. Jacky didn't answer, this was plain instinct. She had to do this even if she was quite sure why. Once she got to the bottom she carefully walked on the edge of the river to the underneath of the bridge Eric close behind in case she needed help. "E-Eric? There was never a tunnel here before was there?" she asked eyeing the long dark tunnel. He came to her side and shook his head. "There wasn't but it looks old. It looks like it's always been here." he responded in awe. A mischievous smile caught on her lips. "I'm going in." she told him. Eric's eyes widened in horror. "No! I forbid it!" he yelled. Jacky flinched. Eric had only yelled at her once before and that was when she was caught trying to steal once. She never did it again because she didn't want Eric disappointed in her. Eric had taught her everything from fighting to singing. Because of him she was in the diving and Track team. She was also excelling in all her classes since he helped her with everything.

"Something's calling me," she told him every muscle screaming to go into the tunnel. "I said no." he repeated his voice kind but firm. Tears stung her eyes and for the first time she could remember she yelled at him. "Why won't you listen to me? I'm going in because I have to!" she snapped then rushed into the tunnel. He was surprised by the sudden outburst. If she insisted on going in then he would have to follow for her safety. He felt his pocket and smiled. He had his pocket knife just in case and with that thought he sprinted in after her. "Jacky!" he yelled. Jacky heard his call and only ran faster. She knew if he caught her it would be over. She had to find out why she was being called into this tunnel. Just as she was thinking of maybe waiting for him to catch up and try to explain it to him again the ground underneath her disappeared. She let out a cry that was soon silenced as her head hit the wall and she fell. Eric had heard her cry out and ran even faster intent on catching her. "Jac-" he tried but the ground he had been on a second ago was now gone. No Jacky, he thought then everything blacked out.

To tell the truth my lazy older brother told me to write this. He gave me the idea to start it and now he's my idea guy! He goes through my story and adds stuff of his own if he feels it fits what he doesn't check is my grammar… Wah! Blabbering again lolz

Next chapter will probably be up sometime this week.
