"Jak!" I yelled suddenly. "What the hell?" I shouted as I pulled myself back onto the seat. "Who the hell is that?" He asked.
"Does it look like I know?" I yelled, looking through the window I saw two huge black ships flanking us on our left and right. Just then six more swooped in, three on each side of us. Six! I glanced uneasily at Jak.
Then the communication device on the dashboard of the ship bussed, one of the ships were contacting us.
"This is Lieutenant Aden identify yourself!" The commanding voice demanded. Sucking in a deep breath I clicked the communication button and began to speak. "This is Sage and Assassin Princess Keira Hagai. I order you to stand down!" I called in the same commanding voice.
Jak shot me a what-the-hell-are-you-doing look. I gave him an I-don't-exactly-know look. Lieutenant Aden responded with an angry snarl. "We require proof of your title, I don't believe you are the Assassin Princess!"
That really ticked me off. "Lieutenant you will escort me to the Assassin City now so you can see for yourself that I am the princess!" There was a long pause after that before the lieutenant mumbled a "FINE". Talk about disrespectful.
"Keira what are you doing?" Jak hissed. "Look Jak, I am the Assassin Princess, born with Assassin blood. And...and that's why...
Oh god why couldn't I say it? He had to know this. "Jak I was born to kill!" I shouted.
"I was born to return to the Assassin City, and I was born with the skills of an assassin for one purpose...to do what my mother, the queen wished."
"So!" Jak shouted at me.
God I had to get this off my chest he had to know that all this happened because he broke my heart. What I meant to yell was that "This happened because you broke my heart!"... But instead I yelled. "I don't think you should be near me...or MY city!"
"I don't give a damn Keira! One, you could at least tell me before you make a choice like contacting a ship that could kill us! Two I don't give a damn if you are a killer, I've been with you your whole life and am not leaving you!"
'Not leaving me? You already have, it all started when you stuck your tongue down Ashlin's throat!' Was what I wanted to yell, but instead I decided to keep my mouth shut. "Fine." Was all I could say.
I heard Jak sigh and then I felt the warmth of his tanned skin come closer to me. One of his arms came to rest across my shoulders. His finger gently lifted my chin up so I could stare at his beautiful dark eyes. Were they always so dark?
"Keira it's okay, everything's going to be fine, you'll meet your mother soon and well...I'll be there to help." He leaned his lips down just so they hovered over mine. Then his soft lips came in contact with mine for a minute, then we separated.
"Everything's going to be fine. I promise." He whispered into my ear. "Jak." I suddenly piped up. "Yeah?"
"Do you remember the day we first explored the Forbidden Forest? When we were 9?" He chuckled. "How could I forget?"
(Flashback)
"You know Jak we probably shouldn't be out here." I muttered to the blond haired mute next to me. As we both slowly began to climb the cliff/temple area. Jak gave me one of his devilish grins before offering his hand out as an invitation.
Without thinking i took it and we climbed together. Halfway up the mountain we both looked up to see an eagle swarming over our heads, glaring at us with watchful eyes. We ignored it though and continued climbing.
When we finally reached the top of the mountain. We laid side by side and stared up st the clouds rolling by. And I closed my eyes fro just a minute when I opened my eyes I was surprised to find that we were holding hands. I swear I felt myself go red, and I must have because Jak grinned.
Embarrassed I avoided his eyes for a few minutes before gazing back into them. "You know," I began to speak. "I think Daddy would have a few things to say to us if he could see us now." Jak bobbed his head up and down in agreement.
"But then again maybe he can, and maybe he can't, he talks to birds and grapevines you know." Jak started smiling and reached over to me. At first I thought he was going to pull me close and kiss me, but instead he brushed a stray lock of hair out of my eyes.
"I swear all you did was blush that day."
Without thinking I leaned over and playfully punched him in his shoulder. Suddenly the dashboard went off again. We both stared down at it, it was indicating we were in view of my city. I held my breath as we came out of the clouds.
I apologize for the lack of update, for the past two months now my internet had been down and my parents refused to fix it until Christmas, but the good news is I typed this story all up on Microsoft Word so now the updates will be one a week. Oh and Jak and Keira will be meeting Keira's mother in the next chapter!
