Chapter 1
Kaylah's POV
"Remember, their names are Sam and Emily Uley," Hailey; my social worker told me, while handing me my backpack.
I nodded, slinging the bag over my shoulder. "Good, and be nice to them." She said, giving me a pointed look.
"I will," was my simple reply.
"Flight 305 to Seattle please proceed to gate 10 for boarding," the woman on the intercom announced.
"That's you, come on lets get you boarded." Hailey made sure that I got through the gate, before giving me a final wave, and leaving. I guess in a way I was gonna miss her. In the short amount of time I knew her, she became a friend to me.
Once I had my bag in the overhead compartment, and I was securely buckled in. I reflected back on what had happened these last two months.
Flashback
"You can't hide," the slimy voice of the man who haunted my dreams said.
I hid behind a tree, my hand covered my mouth in an attempt to quieten my heavy breathing.
My parents were hiding not too far from me behind a larger tree. The heat and humidity of the jungle was starting to get to me, a thin layer of sweat had formed on my skin, and I was slightly dizzy. Most likely from dehydration.
"David, I thought you would have learnt by now that you can't save them," he continued. My panic began to rise when his voice seemed much closer than before.
Suddenly, I heard a gun shot. A millisecond later, electric cables sliced through the side of the tree I was hiding behind, causing shards of bark to fly everywhere. I screamed and ran.
"KAYLAH!" My Godfather; Griffin shouted, his Northern English accent was prominent. He Jumped over to me, grabbed me and Jumped about 20 feet away. Narrowly missing another shot.
"KAYLAH GET OUT OF HERE!" My dad yelled at me, emerging from his hiding place. He was quickly followed by my mum.
"NO! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!" I cried, tears had started to blur my vision.
My mum Jumped over to me and grasped my face firmly, but lovingly. "You will go, we will hold them back. Just get yourself out of here." I looked into her beautiful, brown eyes and saw nothing but fear, love and determination.
I nodded, "Ok." She kissed my forehead. But it wasn't the normal kiss she would often give me, I knew it was, as much as I didn't want to admit, the last kiss I would ever get from her. Tears had started to flow freely from my eyes now.
My mum let go of me and told me to go. With a final glance at my parents and godfather who were fighting the Paladins, I Jumped.
End of flashback
I hadn't Jumped far though. I couldn't leave them, so I had jumped into a high tree about 100 feet away. I had blocked my ears with my hands, but I clearly heard the screams of my family as they were murdered. My eyes had been squeezed shut, but tears continued to run down my cheeks silently.
"People like you don't deserve to live." Those were Roland's final words before he left my loved ones.
"What about the girl?" I had heard one of Roland's henchmen ask, as they walked away. "We'll get her soon enough." Was his reply.
When I'd known they were gone, I Jumped to my family. My dads eyes had been open and wide, staring at nothing. His stab wound still had blood flowing from it. I had been sobbing - no wailing. My emotions had gotten the better of me, and I'd Jumped to St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital, in the familiar town of Ann Arbor in Michigan. The place where my parents met and grew up.
I had destroyed half a ward when I Jumped them. Nobody knew how three dead people, and a distraught teenager ended up in the ward, and thankfully they didn't question it. It was only an hour later I met Hailey.
It took her awhile to find any living relative of mine, but she had eventually found my mums Godfather; Sam Uley. Who agreed to take me in.
So that's how I ended up on a flight to Seattle, to live in a small reservation called La Push. I had never heard of it, so I could only hope it took the Paladins awhile to get a lead on me. Or even better none at all.
Don't know if I plan on writing more. So please let me know if its good and if should continue or scrap it.
Please let me know! Thanks!
