Chapter 2 - The Lights Go Out


"Don't worry Amber, I know Jack, he'll be fine, trust me." Dal said walking over to Amber and smiled slightly, he slowly rubbed her back and sat beside her.

~~~~~~

Jack looked at the ground below him, his eyes were wide and his hands hurt from landing in broken glass, blood spilled from his knuckles and finally he turned over, "O-Oww..." Everything suddenly began to go in slow motion, the wind going by, the Demon Dogs running to him, and the world seemed to stop.

"There he is!"

~~~~~~

"I hope your right Dal." Bray said walking over to the two of them and sat down, lowering his head and sighed.

"He's just so young, so small." Amber said standing up, "I don't know what I'd do if he got hurt." She said glancing out of the door again, her arms crossed and she stared of with a wisdom-full look in her eyes.

~~~~~~

"Oh no." Jack said, a guy reached down, grabbing him by the wrist and yanking him up and onto his feet.

Jack gasped in pain as he felt his arm, immediate to the pull, dislocate, a discomforting feeling shot through his entire body, his eyes widened and his mouth opened in surprise as he let out a yelp.


~~~~~~

"I know how you feel Amber." Tai San said burning some inscents, "Jack's a nice person... His energy is just as pure as mine."

Patsy looked over at Tai San and smiled sweetly, "That must be pretty pure, huh? To be as good as you huh Tai San?"

Tai San just nodded and looked down as she closed her eyes and sat in indian style before her inscents.

~~~~~~

Jack yelled as one of the boys kicked him in the stomach causing him to cough up a little blood, he collapsed to the ground and closed his eyes tight.


"Look, I think we've hurt him." One of them said and the rest laughed.

~~~~~~

"I wonder what's going on right now..." Lex said walking up to the door and peeking out of it, he sighed when he found nothing and then just stood there waiting for any sign of the small genius.

"Yeah, me too." Amber said as she pulled her knees to her chest and placed her arms around her legs.

~~~~~~

Jack lifted his sore body from the ground and stared down at his hands, dried blood and new blood were all over them and it felt like little needles were stinging through his skin as the wind blew up against his face.

~~~~~~

"Is Jack going to be okay, Ryan?" Patsy asked looking around at all of the other mallrats sitting in the café.

"We don't know yet Patsy, but I'm sure he'll be fine." Selene insisted, cutting into the conversation as always, and sat down in a chair.

~~~~~~

"What have we ever done to you!?" Jack asked holding his stomach as he coughed, his face was dirty and his lips were red with blood.

One of the Demon Dogs just smiled and nodded to his leader.

~~~~~~

"I hope so Selene." Tai San said as more inscents burned, her hair was put back in a pony tail and both Patsy and Cloe came to sit by her.

Dal looked over at them and smiled warmly.

~~~~~~

"Everything! Y'all took over our power, our lives!" One of the Demon Dogs yelled, he didn't look too pleased with Jack's question.

The leader cracked his left knuckles with his right hand and began to walk towards Jack, "Say goodbye, bright boy."

Okay, I think all have noticed that I have merged a few chapters, 2 with 1 and 4 with 3, that way there's only a prologue and 2 chapters. I just thought that the chapters were far to short so I decided to fix that, and along with that I've thrown in a bit more of description and detail. I hope you all enjoy what I've done and the 3rd chapter WILL be up shortly, so just stay tuned, okay!? Oh and REVIEW, feedback gets my blood flowin'!
