Disclaimer: I don't own Jackie Chan Adventures.
Jade's uncle has always been slightly overprotective of her. Lately though, he's been way too involved in Jade's life. He's always on the edge, and he won't let her around other people. And on top of that, weird stuff has been happening to Jade.
But Jackie seems to know what's happening. And when she asks him about it, he changes the subject. What is he keeping from her?
This is my first attempt at a fanfic, so be honest. If I accidentally add a new story instead of a new chapter, well, my bad. Basically, this is the prologue.
Thanks to snarky Beth: This is a better setup.
At exactly midnight on a Monday morning, 2 silhouettes shook hands under a rusty old bridge.
"As expected, I was right," the first shadow boasted. "Her birthday is right around the corner, and she hasn't shown any signs of the prophecy."
The second silhouette seemed unperturbed. "The prophecy stated that on the day of her 13th birthday, an event that would kill a human will activate the results of the prophecy. I suspect nothing of this nature has occurred?"
The first silhouette's shoulders slumped. "No. You are right."
Then his head snapped up, like he had an idea. "And nothing will. She will remain under my lock and key until the day after her birthday. I refuse to stand by and let her be subjected to this." The first silhouette turned and began to walk away.
The second silhouette remained placid, but when he spoke, his voice was clear: "Your efforts will be futile. The prophecy will do everything in it's power to start the transformation."
The first silhouette whirled around and jammed his thumb toward himself. "And I will do everything in my power to stop it."
The first silhouette turned back around and marched back to his house. A streetlight flickered on above him, and out of the shadows stepped...Jackie Chan.
