Xqulth: Okay just to put something straight, I had every intention to post chapter 3 a couple days ago but fanfiction was screwing up and it was annoying and it didn't work till today.
Avery: Yawn…can we do something fun??
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
I sat out in the desert sun for awhile after I got to Griffin's lair. Never had I lived outside of Chicago and I may as well go nuts with this constant heat. Griffin was arguing with the grey haired guy and it was getting annoying. "You did this" "Well it's your fault that this happened." It was constant bickering and I had had enough of it. I stood up and stalked over to them. They were in the middle of arguing over something that escaped my mind. I glared at them as I yelled at the top of my lungs, "Enough, both of you!"
They looked at me in pure shock. I continued, "You two argue with each other while the paladins are after every one of us. Casey, you, this guy, me, I will not die because you two had to stop in the middle of something to argue over whose fault it is." I looked at them with a look of pure fury. Griffin stood his ground while the other guy backed off a bit. Staring down the gray haired man straight in the eye, I said, "Now, who the hell are you."
"My name is Alexander Calloway, I never had the pleasure of gaining the knowledge of your name." I looked at him like he's nuts. By this point I'm sure my eyes were bugging out of m head. Casey started cracking up behind me and I glared at her. I met his eyes evenly with a cool like demeanor, "Well, Mr. Calloway, my name is Avery Williams."
At this, Griffin had Jumped next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder with a smug smirk-like grin on his face, "I just call her Boo." I spun from under his arm and pinned him to the ground with his arm bent up on his back. My head cocked to one side and Griffin groaning from the pain in his shoulder I laughed.
"Now I really must wonder why you call me Boo."
Alex was laughing from off to one side, "I haven't seen you in that position since you were in my karate class Griffin, I must say, it doesn't fit you." I laughed and got up. Griffin shook off the pain in his shoulder as he got up. He looked at Casey, "Do you even know this half-brother of yours name?"
"Yea," She said, nodding, "They said it was like David." Griffin turned his face full of amusement as he started to laugh. He fell into the sand, clutching his sides. I looked at Casey in pure, utter shock and amusement, "Cas," I said, "Did they say David Rice, perhaps?"
She nodded, confused, "Yea, why." I joined Griffin in the sand laughing. She looked at us, "What? What is so damn funny?" Managing to catch my breath I looked up at her,
"David Rice temporarily transferred to our school, everyone called him Rice-ball, including you."
"Wait, that funny kid with the weird hair?"
"Yea, the funny kid with the weird hair." I said, still cracking up over the fact that she actually had a crush on the kid that got her parent and brother dead. Honestly I thought it was absolutely ironic and irony is amazing. Suddenly Griffin got up and looked at Alex, Casey and myself, "How many of you three have had any training in fighting at all?"
I cocked my head to one side, "I took a couple years of karate and taekwondo." He nodded and looked at Casey and Alex. Alex raised an eyebrow, "I taught you." Casey shook her head. Griffin nodded and looked at Alex,
"You teach her basic self-defense." He looked at me, "We're reviewing. How much of it have you done with Jumping?"
I shook my head, "None."
"Well work on that." He disappeared and I walked towards Casey and Alex. Casey looked at us,
"How am I supposed to keep up with you people, whatever the hell you people are?"
I smirked at her, "We are Jumpers." Her eyes started to bug out, "We can travel through space; anywhere we want as long as we can picture it in our head."
"And electricity isn't pumping through our body." Alex added. I nodded and I felt the familiar whoosh of air as Griffin Jumped back into the desert. He had several wooden sticks, padded boards, punching bags and suits of padded armor. I looked at him with pure amusement, "Training?"
He nodded and Casey put in, "Once again, how am I supposed to keep up with you people?" I glanced at her and shrugged.
"I have absolutely no idea." I said and looked at Alex, "Your problem now." Laughing slightly I realized how hungry I was. I Jumped to the most secluded area in Chicago I could think of and went to McDonalds and bought my favorite, Chicken Selects and sweet tea, and Casey's favorite, cheeseburger plain with root beer. After which I Jumped back to the desert and gave her the bag of food. She grinned and nodded, "Thanks, I'm starving, I didn't get to eat much of that Chinese we got."
"Me neither." I said grinning back. Looking at Griffin, who was drooling at the food, I asked, "So why do you hate David?"
He looked at me confused, "Why wouldn't I?"
I shrugged, "He didn't seem like that bad of a guy."
"No, but he is an annoying bastard that doesn't know how to do anything right." He said, "That and his mum is a paladin." My eyes went wide at this new information,
"Seriously?" He nodded and I realized that that was probably how the paladins found me. That and the fact that Griffin and Alex were probably Jumping to and from the apartment upstairs. I turned and tackled Griffin,
"So it's your damn fault that I had to leave Chicago." I said through clenched teeth. Griffin Jumped and pinned me to the ground, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You and him" I jerked my chin at Alex, "Were probably Jumping to and fro. You attracted their attention and because of that, I had to leave the city I was born and raised in." I said as I gritted my teeth. I Jumped with such precision that there was hardly and Jumpscar for them to follow. The sun blinked low in the sky as it set on the beautiful island of Japan.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Xqulth: Hate it? Love it? Think it needs to go Jump into a sand pile? Oh and a small little note, when "jump" is capitalized, it means like Jumping through space, when it isn't and is in lowercase its normal jumping (hopping).
Avery: ReViEw!!!
