Chapter Four: Slade's Memory and Jade's Trust

Disclaimer: I only own Jade

The beginning of this chapter is a little weird, during the flashbacks no names are said, so it's kinda odd, plus if I mention names it will give too much away

~*~ = start or end of flashback

A man walked up porch steps and entered his home, inside, his wife and his two children were sitting at the table, playing a game of checkers, one of them was just sliding the checkers across the board, she was too young to know how to play anyways, the boy moved his piece,

"Hello everyone" he said to his family

"Hi Dad, mom is whooping me in checkers" said The boy,

"is she?" he said "I play winner" he sat down next to his wife and kissed her on the cheek, then he looked at his daughter who was sitting on her mothers lap, he ruffled her hair and she laughed,

"`top it!" she said, since she was only four she couldn't speak well, she reached over and moved one of her brothers pieces across the board,

"stop it!" he said, she stuck out her tongue at him, her mother took her turn, the girl reached across the table and grabbed one of her brothers pieces and put it in her pocket,

"hey, give that back!" said The boy

"Give it back to your brother" said their mother, she reached into her pocket and handed it to her brother

"thank you" he said he moved his piece and got to his mothers side of the board, The girl picked up one of her moms pieces and put it on her brothers

"look what she just did!" said the boy pointing "she's learning how to play, she put yours on top of mine when I got to the other side of the board"

"very good" said their father "you are a smart girl aren't you?"

"I'm a smart girl!" she said standing up on her moms lap and spreading her arms, everyone laughed

"you can lose a possession, an object, or even a person, but the only thing one can't lose is, their, MEMORIES!" said Slade angrily slamming his fist down on the table next to him, it made a loud bang which echoed through the room, It had been about four months since the day he started training Jade, she had gotten a lot stronger, And was doing very well in the training ,

"umm, Mr. Slade?"

Slade Turned around in his chair, it was Jade,

"what are you doing here?" he said "you know access in here is strictly forbidden"

"you weren't in the training room, so I came here looking for you" said Jade quickly

"take a day off" said Slade turning back around

"really?" said Jade "thanks!" with that she turned around and left, she hadn't gotten a day off since they had started training, Jade reached section five, she walked to her door and opened it, there was really nothing to do, when she rethought it, she wanted to do her training, it was so boring just sitting in her room doing nothing, she walked in and sat on her bed, she looked over at her CD player, she picked it up and listened to music for a few minutes, the music ran through her head, 'Your sins into me, oh my beautiful one, your sins into me, a rapturous voice escapes I tremble a prayer, your sins into me....... Jade turned off her CD player, she lied down, she remembered her life before Slade,

"mom" said Jade walking into the room "mom I can't move this box of books I have in my room, can you help me?"

"Have your brother help you" said her mother as she sat at the table with paperwork in front of her

"mom, whats with all the paperwork lately?" said Jade, her mom smiled,

"sweety, it's just things grown-ups have to do" said Her mom,

"oh okay" said Jade, she walked slowly up the steps, she walked down the hall to her brothers room, the door was locked, she knocked on it, it opened, her brother, almost identical to her, but still four years older, stood in the doorway

"hey, umm, I was wondering if you could help me move a box of books I have in my room" said Jade

"whats wrong, you too tiny?" teased her brother,

"stop it!" said Jade,

"I'm just kidding" he said, they walked over to her room, she pointed to a box, he walked over and picked it up with one hand

"this is as light as a feather" he said, then, it slipped out of his hand and fell on his foot, "Ow!" he said, Jade started laughing,

"a really big feather!" she said, this time he picked it up with both hands,

"Okay, where do you want it?" he asked, Jade pointed to the other side of the room, her brother walked over and put it down,

"hows that?" he said

"Good" said Jade "thanks so much!"

"no prob" he said, Jade smiled up at him,

~*~

Jade rested her head against the cold stone wall, all of that was over, she was with Slade now, he deserved her respect, after everything he done for her, made her stronger, taught her how to fight, gave her a home, Jade trusted him now.
