My Gift To Her
Disclaimer: I do not anything related to Tru Calling.
Chapter One
Oh how I hate rewind days! If it weren't for Tru Davies, I wouldn't have to suffer through them. But the only way to end the rewinds is to kill her and I can't do that. As crazy it may seem, I love Tru. At first I didn't want to believe it, but now, I know that I really do love her. And it is because I love her that I allowed Harrison to live. But my love for her also led to Luc's death. I purposely sent him to Bank Street so he would die. I figured, maybe then Tru would realize that she didn't love him. But all that did was cause Tru to increase her hate for me.
But some people say that an emotion as strong as hate can only come from love. So maybe Tru loves me but she doesn't want to admit it. Not that I can blame her. Her mother once had the calling and was Life and her father was once Death. And of course, Richard Davies had his wife murdered and Tru witnessed it. And Tru later found out that her mother had the calling, which led to her death.
But I must stopping think about Tru because I have a job to do. I have to make sure that whoever caused this rewind stays dead. Fate gave me this job and I must keep Fate happy.
Swirling dust kicked up by something or someone. A colorful set of poles in the midst of the dust. A flash of black, white, and purple along with the strong scent of a horse. An unearthly scream. The sounds of a gunshot. Loud cracks. The words 'Evening Star' etched in a plaque.
Then nothing. That's all I've got to go on. Figuring this out would be so much easier if my mind didn't keep flashing back to Tru. But it must have something to do with a horse—a riding accident?
It seemed like an easy case. Finding some dumb animal and make sure it killed its rider. But Tru would be there and she would once again try to prevent it.
Her face, so beautiful yet full of such anger. "You have no idea what you've begun…" I hear her say. If only she knew the truth. If only she knew I cared for her.
Author's Notes:
This story takes place between seasons one and two, in case anyone was wondering. I'm glad people like this story and the two other 'Tru Calling' stories I have written. I'm sorry that this story has short chapters, but it will be a better story with the short chapters I hope. And it will be easier to update. Look for chapter two soon!
Reviewers!

ilovecrazypeople – Jack is one of my favorite characters too! He is a very easy character to write about for some reason and I can easily pick up on his feelings I think. Glad you like the stories!
Katy – Your review inspired me to continue with this story! I spent some time thinking about how to continue and I think I've figured it out. And I'm very pleased that you like the way Jack is written!
