DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT own anything of Jumper! Jumper (c) 20th Century Fox! The Song: Hero By Skillet. I DO NOT own the song! Hero (c) Skillet
Theme- Leah (meaning this is her theme... well, you know ;) Leah's POV before 'The Accident'. Leah never needed more than Danny in her life and she was a bit of a coward… she needs a hero and she always thought fighting wasn't worth it but she's ready to step in place of her brother, taking Death headon…Oneshot for my story: So I Jumped! Read that first if you want; it will make more sense if you do! PS- Italics = song lyrics :)
Pitch black nothing at first. Then a sudden explosion of emotions and thoughts sights and smells.
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today
I'm not ready to move. I'm not the brave knight and I'm not the courageous maiden. I'm merely a person, losing my life away. Hiding behind this walls of cowardliness. I'm may be falling off the edge, despite of everything. I'm may be slipping away, beyond any help.
I can see them now. It's taking my breath away. The pain they feel, the lies they're told. They and I are falling off the edge.I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
I cannot to anything special. I cannot take it. The standards are too high, the goals too far away. I'm not invincible. I'm not ready; I'm not ready to work for my life. But I wish I could be saved.
I watch as some perish by bullets and wounds that were beyond help. The emotions ran high as the noise level. The camouflage was everywhere. I screamed for someone to save me. One soldier stared at me, blue eyes almost lifeless. He reached for me.It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
We are no different from people around the world.
We face the perils of war. We watch our sons and daughters, our fathers and our mothers face off our enemies weapons. It's just another bloody sunset in this life.
We can step back and watch all our friendships crack, turning to dust and blowing away. Families pulled apart by anger and hate. I'm think I'm losing my faith today, thanks to the world outside.
What happened to peace? Or did it just blow away with time?
I'll going to prove that everyone may just step off the edge. And that we all need to be saved.
I stretched for his hand, brushing his fingertips. It sent shivers and shocks rushing through my body. It left in seconds and left my body empty on energy. I couldn't even call out for help now. The soldier disappearedI need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
A hero who may teach me the right and wrongs, the dos and don'ts of this world we live in. A hero who will teach me how to fight and teach me how to save someone else's life. I guess I even needed a hero.
Now I was alone, standing upon the ground. I faced a world in front of me that seemed to be chaotic and mistreated. I wish I could only reach out and touch it, making everything peaceful. But that wasn't going to happen. I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I'm going to not back anymore. I'm gonna kick some ass, I'm gonna save someone today. Speak my mind with a flick of my tongue. Aimed at someone. I will make sure that everyone else will not deafen me. I'm going to make them listen, till their ears bleed.
I was flashed back into the war scene, stumbling about this time. But now I was one of them. Shouts came and explosions blasted my eardrums. I shivered in fright and started to run away with my comrades.I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
They better be prepared. I'm making a start, but I'm just human. I'm merely a soldier. But I'll make sure they'll hear me all the same.
I was shot to the ground, trembling and pressing my hand to my bleeding shoulder. I called out for help and for a moment, no one heard me.
Am I alone?
But as soon as I spoke again, my fellow soldiers rushed to my aid. But it seemed too late… I felt so tired and weak…It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
Time ticks away beyond our control. I wish that ticking sound didn't tear my family. Time is both the enemy and the friend, giving you a new day of life and another closer step to death.
Just kill him, they all say. It's just another kill; another dead soul lost that day. But I see the inside twisting and turning. The mind growing dark and the heart growing cold. I can see it destroying us and the one's already blown away.
I now watch from a distance of them trying to heal me, though I am already halfway gone. Am I too far now, too far for victory? Behind me, countless others stand in shadows. I think some of them are waiting too, waiting to be heard. While others are already mute.
My comrades won't accept defeat- at least, some of them won't. But many others now walk away; I hear under their breath: "Just another dead one. Just another kill for them."
But I want to scream, "What about me?! Do you not see that I am destroyed?" But my mouth stays shut and I watch.I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
I'm grabbing out now, I'm ready to fight. Just take my hand and I'll hold yours tight. I just need a hero, to save me from falling. From stepping over the edge and destroying myself. I think I can do it. I just need a hero.
Suddenly a sudden gasp comes through my mouth, a small one but a breath all the same. I'm flown back into my body. It is behind believable pain for me but I dare not lose sight of my soldiers. They help stagger me up, and through the explosions, gunshots and shouts, they drag me to safety. I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero, just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in timeWho's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
I wonder at who will feel the need to save the needy and punish the greedy. I wonder who will have the guts up to stand and fight, putting themselves in danger's face. Who will face him in the eye.
I may not survive. But I think I have the skill and I think I have the will to fight alongside anyone. But if I die, I know who will keep fighting. The heroes.
I can only thank them as they run off to help others. At the moment, I wasn't sure if I was ready to accept death. In the shadow world, it did not seem time nor anything could touch me.
But also, no one could hear me. No one could understand the loneness I felt in there, though thousands of other soldiers were standing in the same world. We stood there, that's all we did. I couldn't stand it; that's why I chose pain but also life.Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me
I am the hero today. I gonna save the day. I'm gonna stand and become superhero. I may be just a kid but I've got the skill. I've got the will to stand up and tell them off. It may just be another war, I know what I'm fighting for.
I'm going to make them believe that we're all superheroes. That we just need time and justice. That we can all understand, what's it's like to be superhuman.
I stumble up, holding my weapon now. I scan the area, watching everyone take each other with full out force. I started to run towards the others, not making a sound. I knew what I was getting into.I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
I hope I'm not too late. I hope I don't slip. I hope I don't fall and fail. But I'm ready to speak of my words. I'm ready to give them a piece of my mind. And if they kill me tonight, at least I'm dying for what's right.
We're all heroes- we all can fight. We can all struggle against the evil and wrong. We can fight it with strength, faith and friendship. But it takes a superhero to save a life. To not risk them everyday. To keep everyone friends.
I may not be torn, but I'll be soon. That's why I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to leave my own mark on the world. I don't care anymore that I may just die, that I may just lose. But I'm not gonna stand by and watch everyone else die.
I fired, thought subconsciously I know that I had never handled a gun in my life. I was prepared for the fight now. My soldiers and I started to advance onto the enemy. They didn't back down but they were afraid. I could see it in their eyes. But if I would be killed tonight, I only wish it would be quick.A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in timeI need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
We yell and scream with all our might. The enemy finally turns their tails on us. They flee. We pull to a stop, standing among victorious grins and brilliant white eyes. We had won. But had we fought for what's right? Is this going to make us able to survive?(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I do not let little worries bother me when my group becomes ecstatic when we see our lost comrades return.
I do not let them bother me when I see myself running into a man's arms, though I do not see his face.
I stand once again in totally darkness. But this time I'm not afraid. I'll fight my way out, because I'm fighting for what's right. And I'm believing that I'm a hero.I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
"Leah! Wake up!" Danny's sharp voice woke me up from my dream.
"Huh? What?" I shot up, looking around. I see him leaning over the couch's back. His dark brown hair was messy and his normal twinkling green eyes were tired and sleepy. I glanced at the wall clock. It was one o' clock in the morning.
"You were muttering in you're sleep. And tossing the blankets all around. Where you having a nightmare?" Danny asked.
"No…I just was having a dream- more or less, a vision." I stared at him. My mind wandered through my dream/vision.
"Whatever Leah. Go back to bed!" Danny ruffled my hair and he walked back to his room. I huffed, throwing myself back onto the couch. I slowly drifted back to sleep, entering the Great War again…
