A/N: hey guys sorry it took me so long to update! I got busy studying for AP exams. =P plus, it took me a long time to decide what was going to happen and to get inspiration to write for this next chapter. But it's up now and hopefully you all will like it =]
CHAPTER 7
"This is for Sarah." Jessi whispered this in his ear in a taunting tone. She trembled with anger radiating throughout her whole body. She had Cassidy's life at stake in her hands. He killed my mother. I have to stop him before he gets to anyone else. Before he gets to Kyle…
"Once a murderer, always a murderer." Cassidy was able to choke out a few words that made Jessi grimace. She hated that word, especially when it was being referred to her.
"I could say the same about you." With that, in one quick moment, Jessi twisted his head and heard his neck snap. She immediately let him go and let his limp body fall to the ground. She felt her anger began to subside when she started to completely grasp exactly what she just did. What am I going to tell Kyle? He accepted me when I told him about the hunter, but what will he say to this?
Jessi's legs went numb at the thought of how Kyle would react. She snapped out of her pool of anxiety and realized that she needed to leave before anyone comes after her. Jessi took one last look at Cassidy's dead body lying on the floor and then went off to find her way out.
Kyle was outside of the Trager household as he exited the gate out front. He began to hear a sound that has become so familiar, so natural to him. A small smile appeared on this face as he listened to Amanda's heartbeat. He was glad that at least she was still safe. He felt a little worried about leaving her and the Tragers behind but he knew Foss was looking out for him. Kyle took a glance at Amanda's window and started running to go find Jessi.
He had no idea where he was going or where Jessi was but he hoped that an idea or hint would strike him at any moment. As if on cue he felt a small pain in his head. It was faint, their connection was still weak. He kept running, faster, hoping that he is getting closer to save Jessi.
Jessi was surprised on how easily it was to escape. She ran into a few guards but she knocked them out before they can let out a word. It didn't take much; she just had to push the right pressure points. She felt drained and was glad she didn't have to use much strength to get through.She pushed through one more door and stepped into the cool breeze. Finally…but that seemed way too easy. She shrugged it off; she had to make it home before Kyle noticed she was gone.
As soon as she started running toward the direction of the house she began feeling a faint connection to Kyle. A smile played on her face at the fact that Kyle has come after her. She loved that he cared for her. She ran faster in anticipation to see Kyle.
Soon, Jessi noticed a figure began to appear in the distance. Kyle.
Kyle began to worry and expect the worse. His connection to Jessi was so weak, as if she was worn down or something. Cassidy's voice came back into his head. And then I'm going to hurt Jessi. He felt more anger and his frustration help push him to run faster, more determined. I have to help her… Then in the distance he noticed a female form running towards him. Jessi.
They finally reached reach each other and stood about foot away. Kyle was taking in that she was okay, and didn't appear to be harmed. Jessi couldn't help but suppress a smile. Kyle truly cared about her, and was worried. Kyle could feel the ache in his heart from all the anxiety building up inside him while Jessi was missing. He finally stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her.
"Jessi, you're okay." Jessi rolled her eyes.
"What, did you really expect to find me on the ground dead? I can take care of myself." Jessi really hated it when Kyle treats her like a fragile damsel in distress. She was perfectly capable of protecting herself. A part of her also hoped that her sarcasm would lighten the mood a little bit. Kyle pulled back from the hug and looked Jessi in the eyes. She saw fear in his eyes and a little bit of shock. I probably shouldn't have said that.
"Where were you? What happened?" The muscles in Jessi's body tightened as she remembered that she needed to tell Kyle about Cassidy. She pulled away from Kyle's eyes and looked to the ground. Kyle sensed she was hiding something. "Jessi, what is it?"
Jessi sighed. She knew she had to tell him, she hated keeping secrets from him. She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. Jessi took a deep breath and let out the words quick, like ripping off a band-aid.
"Cassidy is dead." Kyle's head began to fill with questions.
"What? How do you know?" Jessi was hoping she didn't have to face this situation. She hoped that she wouldn't be forced to say the words. Her voice trembled and stumbled over the words.
"I…I killed him"
Nicole woke up and looked over to her alarm clock. 5:45. She found it hard to fall back asleep once she was already up. She got up quietly, not wanting to wake up Stephen, and went downstairs to make some tea. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she noticed light coming from Jessi's room. Poor girl probably fell asleep and forgot to turn it off. She quietly walked over to her room to turn it off. When she entered, she expected to find Jessi sound asleep on her bed.
Nicole felt confused when she found her room empty, Jessi no where in sight. Maybe she's in Kyle's room. She sighed at that thought and hoped she didn't find them together and doing something inappropriate. She opened the door to Kyle's room and found his room to be empty as well. Then she found his window slightly opened. Her motherly senses over took her emotions and the first thing that came to her mind was that they ran away. Together. She pondered of the newly found scenario and thought of possibilities on how this could happen.
Why would they run away? She felt a pang of guilt rush to her heart as she thought of the most recent conversation she had with them. She laid down the rules and told them they couldn't pursue a relationship together. So they can be together.
A dark-haired woman shook her head at the scene that played in front of her. She watches as her son was taken down by some science experiment.
"It seems as though we underestimated 781228."
"What would you like us to do with her, Mrs. Kingsly?" A man's voice sounded behind her and she let out a maniacal smile.
"Let her go. I will take care of her myself later." Every trace of Sarah Emerson must be destroyed. Adam should have never fallen in love with her.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter felt rushed. I had trouble on thinking of how this whole thing would go down. I promise the next chapter would be better! I'm so mean…I left three cliff hangers for you guys! How will Kyle react? Nicole jumped into the wrong conclusion but opened her eyes to what could really happen. Will this change her mind about Kyle and Jessi's relationship? And what is the story behind Grace Kingsly? I will try and update sooner than I did last time! ^_^
