Chapter 1: Reconnection
The chilled night air consumed the land, as the ocean waves crashed against the rocks. Darkness overtook the light as the a mysterious, yet familiar figure sat by the water.
"Alone… Just like always…" says the former hero with the look as if all hope was gone.
Jacob stared out to the sea as his lips quivered, "First the divorce, then Soul Society abandoned me, and after that I lose my power. I've got absolutely nothing left…" Jacob's head lowers, " Why do I keep doing these things to myself? I know I'm supposed to help everyone and junk, but why can't I ever get what I want?
"The large waves smash the stones along the beach, and water droplets spray across the sky as he looks at the full moon which seems so close that Jacob could reach out and grab it.
Jacob's head lowers once more and shadows cover his face as a single tear runs down his cheek, hitting the cold sand beneath him.
"Nothing will ever change, I've just got to finally accept my fate. I'm doomed to repeat the same mistakes and live my life alone in the dark." Jacob quietly says as he rises to his feet and turns from the ocean.
Hands in his pockets, he takes a step, slowly making his way towards his car. As he approaches he removes his key chain from his belt strap, spins the ring on his finger, and grabs the key. Upon reaching the door he inserts the key, shinning in the light of the moon, into the lock and turns it.
"Goodbye…" Jacob whisper, taking one last look at the midnight sky over the sea.
The car door shuts, and the engine roars. Jacob drives away, clinching the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles seemed to peer out from behind the skin. His foot pushes forces itself down and the car speeds down the road, faster and faster. Suddenly, he lifts his foot from the pedal and loosens his grip.
With a long sigh and pause Jacob mutters to himself, "What is holding me here? Why can't I just leave? Why do I have to go through all this pain?"
His foot touches the pedal once more and he focuses on what is ahead of him. Time passes in silence as Jacob reaches a familiar area.
"Home… Is this really where I'm supposed to be?"
He glances out the window and sees a figure that he recognizes. He pulls his car to the side of the road and steps out. Just as he does a massive hollow runs past him. It appears to be chasing the person down the pitch black road.
"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Jacob shouts at the hollow.
It turns to look at him and grins.
"Adjucha…." Jacob says in a frightened voice. "How am I supposed to stop that now?"
He slams the car door and runs after the two. Sprinting as fast as he can he arrives just in time to see the hollow pick up the girl which it had been chasing, squeeze her in its hand, and throws her to the ground. Jacob runs to her side, her face still hidden, and grabs her hand.
"We've done it. He's mine now." calls a distant voice.
