Your Guardian Angel
Chapter 21: Sister, Sister
Jenny took a deep breath as the door opened. Before she knew it, Virginia had her arms wrapped tightly around her. Jenny snuggled her head into her mom's shoulder hugging her back.
"Hey mom" Jenny said as the woman pulled back to look at her.
"Oh you look as if it were only a few months ago" Virginia laughed lightly.
"Well for me it was just a few months ago" Jenny smiled at her mother.
Virginia smiled and walked the girl inside, "There are a couple more people you should meet."
"Jenny?" a girl asked and my head shot towards her quickly.
The twelve year old stared at me not moving and Jenny did the same. Her blue eyes were shocked as she stared back at the brunette's oddly colored eyes. Her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail that reached her mid-back. After a minute, Jenny gasped.
"Lisa?"
Lisa smiled and rushed forward wrapping her arms around Jenny's waist. She lifted the girl off the ground and spun around before hugging the small girl to her chest as tears slipped from both there eyes.
"Gawd, sis, I thought you were dead…" Jenny cried softly, her voice breaking.
Lisa laughed lightly through her own tears, "How do you think mom and I took you and your friends just disappearing like that?"
"Sorry… It's not my fault though," Jenny sighed finally releasing the girl to look down at her "Wow you've grown so much!"
"You too," Lisa laughed, squeezing Jenny's arms "Look at those muscles!"
Jenny laughed before turning back to Virginia, "Mom… how'd did she get here?"
"Same way you did. The precursors thought that having someone from your past would do you a little good," Virginia smiled resting her hand on her daughter's shoulder "Sig found her about three years ago in the desert. Speaking of him where is he?"
"He's on a mission with Jak" Jenny stated.
"Ohhhhhhh… who's Jak?" Lisa asked in a sly voice.
"My fiancée, brat" Jenny ruffled her sister's hair.
"Hey!" the blonde girl protested.
Jenny turned back to her mom, "So who's the other person I'm suppose to meet?"
Virginia smiled before yelling, "Joanna!"
A little sleep four year old walked into the main room rubbing her eyes. Once she had them opened she looked up at Jenny. She had black hair and light green eyes.
"Momma… who dis?" she mumbled, walking over to Jenny.
"This is your big sister, Jenny" Virginia smiled as Jenny gasped.
"Ok to many surprises!" Jenny laughed bending down to pick up the small girl.
Looking her over, Jenny noticed she had Sig's hair and Virginia's eyes. Her ears were long a pointed much more like Sig's but her nose was round and small like Virginia. Joanna smiled and giggled at Jenny who tickled her stomach lightly. Virginia smiled before Jenny sat the small child down.
"Hey, mom… I have something important to tell you…" Jenny said following Virginia towards the couch.
Virginia sat down with Jenny beside her as Lisa sat on the floor playing with Joanna.
"What is it, honey?" Virginia asked.
"Mom… I'm pregnant"
Virginia was frozen for a second before squealing in delight and wrapping her arms around her daughter. Jenny laughed lightly as she was crushed in a hug.
"How far along are you?" Virginia asked.
"About a month" Jenny stated smiling.
"I'm to young to be a grandma…" Virginia sighed shaking her head lightly.
Jenny laughed lightly as Lisa spoke up, "I'm going to be an aunt?"
"Yes" Jenny smiled at her little sister who smiled back.
"Jenny… you're covered in blood and your clothes are torn. Go take a shower and get cleaned up. I'll set you some new clothes out" Virginia said smiling.
"Yea… I just had an arena battle" Jenny laughed getting up off the couch.
Virginia led her to the bathroom where Jenny quickly stripped and climbed into the shower. She scrubbed the dirt and blood off her skin and out of her hair. She heard Virginia walk back into the bathroom. Virginia sat some clothes and a towel on the counter before leaving.
Once Jenny was done showering, she turned off the water and climbed out. The brunette grabbed the towel and quickly dried off. She looked at the clothes Virginia had brought her. It was a light brown tunic and tan leggings. The tunic only had one sleeve holding it up. There was also a brown belt woven of rope. And her mom didn't forget the undergarments either.
As Jenny dressed she looked over her shoulder in the mirror and saw the long scar running down her back. She sighed, pulling on the leggings. The girl grabbed her boots and her old clothes leaving the bathroom.
As she deposited her old torn clothes in the trash, Virginia noticed the distressed look on her face.
"Jenny, what's wrong?" Virginia asked placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell me that Charlie was your brother?" Jenny asked with sad eyes as she sat by her mother on the couch.
"Because he never really was my brother and I don't consider him my brother" Virginia stated with a strong voice as Lisa froze slightly.
Jenny looked over at Lisa before whispering to her mother, "Alastar tells me he's here… in this time looking for me."
Virginia gasped lightly, "Baby… he's not going to get anywhere near you. Not while you're here in Spargus."
Jenny just nodded and Lisa shivered.
Virginia smiled lightly, "Come on, kids, we need to go to the market."
"Why?" Joanna asked in her cute baby mumble.
"To get food for tonight's big dinner," Virginia stood looking down at Jenny "We have much to celebrate."
Jenny began chopping up a red bell pepper as Virginia's comm. went off. Jenny looked up seeing what could be happening.
"Yes, I'll send Jenny to get you, bye," Virginia put the comm. away and turned to Jenny. "Those metalheads did some damage to their vehicle. Could you go get them?"
Jenny nodded setting the knife she held on the counter. She was about to leave when Lisa jumped up from the couch.
"I'll go with you" Lisa said following Jenny out the door.
The sisters walked the streets of Spargus heading for the garage. Lisa looked at her older sister. She was a lot different then the last time she saw her, before she disappeared. Jenny was a lot stronger now and happy. Lisa smiled lightly as they reached the garage.
Jenny ran over to a large car and quickly started it up as Lisa climbed in. In minutes they reached the cave that Sig and Jak were stranded at. Lisa gasped seeing all the metalheads surrounding the two men.
Jenny began to spark with Dark Eco as she spoke, "Lisa stay in the car. Here's my pistols if they get to close don't hesitate to kill them." The brunette handed the girl the guns before jumping out of the vehicle.
Lisa watched as horns sprouted from Jenny's head and her nails grew to large black claws. Her hair had a purple hint to it and her skin was pale. A large pointed tail came out at the base of Jenny's spine.
Kala wasted no time driving her claws and tail into any and every metalhead. She growled driving her fist through another metalhead grunt. It wasn't long before the group of creatures were retreating over the dunes.
Kala collapsed, Jenny regaining control. The brunette held her head as she stood, stumbling. Jak rushed over to her helping her balance. Jenny smiled before hugging Jak and giving him a quick kiss. Sig climbed into the driver's seat while Jak and Jenny climbed into the back of the large vehicle.
Lisa looked back at Jak and Jenny, "Jenny… Virginia told me about you having Dark Powers… was that it?"
Jenny nodded, "Yea that was Kala."
"Jenny… who's this?" Dax asked as Jak wrapped his arms around his fiancée's waist and pulling her into his lap.
"Do you remember me telling you about my little sister Lisa?" Jenny asked, leaning back against his chest. Daxter nodded. "Well this is Lisa."
"Nice to meet you, Lisa" Jak nodded.
"Same here, Jak. Who's the talking rodent?" Lisa asked.
"The name is Daxter, toots!" Jenny rolled her eyes as Lisa and Dax began to argue.
The drive back to Spargus was uneventful. Soon they family was back at Sig and Virginia's home waiting for dinner to be done. Jenny looked at Jak's arm and saw a gash across it.
"Jak, what happened?" Jenny asked standing up to get a bandage and medicine.
"Metalhead bit me" Jak stated simply.
Jenny rolled her eyes sitting back down on the couch and spraying the medicine onto the cut. She smiled as Joanna climbed into Jak's lap after trying to squeeze Daxter to death. The blonde/green haired man grinned letting the little girl's hand wrap around one of his fingers. Jenny placed the large bandage over the wound.
Jak slid off the couch and onto the floor playing with Joanna. The little four year old giggled as Jak tickled her.
"Time for dinner everyone" Virginia called.
Jak picked up Joanna and took her to the table. As Jenny helped her mom and Lisa set the table, Jak got Joanna situated in her highchair. Everyone sat at the table and began helping their selves to the Confetti Spaghetti, breadsticks, salad. Jenny made Joanna a plate and sat it in front of her. The little girl picked up a fork and began shoveling food into her mouth.
Everyone at in silence, occasionally sipping on water. Daxter was the loudest eater there. Virginia gave him strange looks everytime he made some weird noise while eating. Jenny and Jak just laughed, whispering to Daxter to quiet down a bit.
Jenny had just helped Virginia put Joanna to sleep. Lisa climbed into bed on the other side of her and Joanna's room. Jenny walked over to the girl and hugged her.
"Good night, Lisa. I'll come see you all tomorrow if there's not much to do" Jenny said before leaving.
The twelve year old just nodded, drifting off to sleep. Virginia and Jenny left the room and walked back to where Jak, Dax, and Sig were. Jenny turned to her mom and gave her a hug.
"Night mom" she smiled at her mom before turning and hugging Sig.
"Goodnight dad"
Jenny laughed lightly as Virginia squeezed Jak tightly. After a second, Jak just hugged the woman that would be his mother-in-law. Jak and Sig shook hands as Daxter was pulled into a hug by Virginia. Once he was released, the orange ottsel jumped onto Jenny's shoulder.
The small group left the house heading to Zan's place to get a goodnight's rest.
Jak and Jenny had barely got situated for sleep when Jak's comm. went off. They both groaned as Jak reached over to answer it.
"Jak… Jenny… It's Ashelin. I'm parked out by the oasis. I need to speak to you" Ashelin seemed to be in a rush.
Jak and Jenny looked at each other before jumping out of bed.
"We'll be there soon" Jenny stated and Ashelin disconnected.
Me: Hehe… more surprise! Well chapter 21 is done! Till next time!
