AN- Thank you all for the awesome reviews, made my day! So I'm going to try and give you guy's longer chapters, starting now! This is Jane's POV. Also I'd like to thank my awesome Beta SashaKnightly for letting my bounce ideas off of her and for editing this, any spelling mistakes found here are my fault.
Jane POV
I was running. I felt my bare feet hit the wet earth; my feet made slapping sounds every-time they hit the wet asphalt. My breath was coming in short little puffs and my sides were aching. But yet I kept running. I turned into a dark alley and suddenly the air had gone cold, Goosebumps rose upon my flesh and I wrapped my arms around myself trying to find warmth.
Without warning a pair of pale arms wrapped around my waist, and I could feel cold breath on the back of my neck, I shivered and found myself oddly relaxed in the unexpected hug. I turned my body wanting to see the person who was holding me tight, but when I did all I could see was a pair of brilliant red eyes, staring at me. And then the stranger took one arm from around my waist and used it to tilt my head to the side. Bringing their face in closer to my neck a woman's voice whispered in my ear, "Mine."
"Shit!" I jolted out of bed. I surprised my dog, Jo Friday, and knocked him off the bed with one of my wildly swinging legs. Catching my breath and holding a hand over my heart I leaned down and grabbed Jo from the floor, petting him and whispering apologies. "I really gotta lay off the midnight horror flicks, Eh Jo?"
I put Jo back on my bed and climbed out, padding across the carpeted room until I got to my bathroom. Stepping into the dark space, I flipped the switch and the room flooded with a bright light. Closing my eyes at the sudden assault to my eyes, I waited a few moments before opening them and starting my shower.
I began to strip myself of my jeans, taking my phone out of the pocket. Before I continued I flipped it open and scanned through my calls. I came across a call I had made to the police late last night, Holy shit! That wasn't a dream… I tripped over a corpse! I interrupted a murder! God, what if I had to do some Witness Protection Program now? Would my family be safe?
Forcing myself to push back the thoughts of death and the face of the dead guy in the alley, I finished stripping and forced myself into the shower. I took the soap from the ledge in the shower and started washing myself before throwing the soap across the room and sinking to the shower floor. I let the warm water run over my nude form. I started breaking down, thinking about the poor dead man who I'd left behind in that alley. I'd just run away. Some help I'd provided.
I pulled myself together and stumbled out of the shower, wrapping a black fuzzy towel around my slim form I rummaged through my dresser. I pulled out a pair of black jeans, a red East Boston High shirt, and some Ugg boots. I quickly dressed and ran a comb through my wild hair before running down the stairs and grabbing a warm pancake off the stack Ma had prepared for breakfast. I yelled thanks to Ma as I ran out the door and down the street to Frost's house.
20 Minutes Later...
I knocked harshly on the Frost's front door, hoping Barry would answer quickly. It had been storming all day and I had run the last few blocks in harsh rain and winds. Frost opened in his boxers and a tank top, wiping his eyes before letting me in and escorting me upstairs to his room.
"So...Jane, What's up?" He clapped his hands together and lay back on his bed waiting for me to tell him what was bothering me so much that I interrupted his lazy Sunday morning.
"Barry, L-Last night, when I left here, you know I was late and I didn't have the money for the bus so I walked home. Well...I heard a scream and I kinda went to help and there was a dead guy in the fucking alley! He was straight dead! No pulse, nothing. He looked like he had been there quite I while, I mean he looked like someone had dug him up from his grave and positioned him in that dammed alley! But there was someone else there, and I didn't see them, all I know is they were there and I ran, Frost! I ran! I should've helped! I should've done something. I just ran. I ran from the voice, I ran from that poor poor man! I abandoned that guy Frost!
"Jane, you saved yourself, Jane you saved you! That man he was dead. He was already dead; nothing you could've done could've brought that guy back! You had to take care of you, you're alive Jane and if you hadn't run, you could've been found in that alley right beside him. Did you go to the cops? I mean what are you gonna do? Did the person see you?"
"I honestly don't know...I really don't." I sighed before laying back on his bed, half on-top of him and snuggling into his side. I yawned and began playing with the strap of his Tank, before long I felt my eyes getting heavy and I closed them, only for a moment.
When I finally opened by eyes again, I was on-top of Frost, and it was dark in the room. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! I scrambled up and dug my phone out of my pocket, 1:48 AM. Fuck, I pulled on my jacket, tiptoed down the stairs and let myself out of his house, before running down the street. I was hoping Ma had already fallen asleep so I wouldn't have to explain where I had been all day.
Halfway home it began raining, not just raining down pouring. I couldn't see a thing; I took random streets hoping to find the right road to take me to my house. Before long I knew I was utterly lost. I was screwed. I put my head in my hands and started to let some tears fall. Normally I would have held together better but right now my life was shit, I find a dead guy, Some Mob boss could want me dead, And I was cold, wet, and lost. Great.
"Uh pardon, But I was walking home and I noticed you out here, Are you alright?" I looked up to the sound of the most beautiful voice I had ever heard, it sounded like bells, and it lifted my spirits, just a bit. But when I laid eyes on the owner of that voice, my god, I fell in love. A small blonde woman, in dark designer jeans and a loose blouse, her hair seemed to be perfect, it was as if the rain avoided her small form and fell around her for she seemed to be completely dry.
I thought a moment; this chick seemed harmless and nice. "Yeah, I'm sorta lost; uh do you know where East Faridale Street is? Can you give me directions or something?" The woman smiled, showing off her perfect teeth and dimples. "I can do better, I can walk you home. I'm Maura by the way. Maura Isles."
AN-DUN-DUN-DUHHHH! Sorry I kept y'all waiting. I tried to make the chapter longer, Let me know what you think. Review please!
