Ok, this is my first ever fanfic. This is a Jak and Keira story, but no worries, it's filled with plenty of action. It'll be a bit slow at the start but really picks up the pace at the end of this chapter. so, on to chapter one!
This is rated PG-13 for some strong language later on, graphic descriptions, and angst.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or places or anything, all this belongs to Naughty Dog. but the storyline is all mine.
Keira stormed down the sparkling streets of Kras City. The sun was warm and inviting and a gentle breeze blew in from the south. As nice as the weather was, Keira didn't notice the weather. Keira hated this city and could really care less about how nice today was. She was consumed in her own thoughts, making everything seem cold and empty.
Her expression was somber, "Why...why won't he make time for me?" Keira walked faster. Her thoughts swirled in her head. She was headed towards a coffee shop to meet Jak. She left a neatly written note on his pillow in his bedroom while he was in the shower and quietly slipped out the door. She didn't want to cause any commotion or leave any hints to something being wrong.
Keira couldn't focus enough to drive, so she walked allowing her mind to drift along with the gentle breeze. She had to admit it, all she wanted was Jak's attention, affection, and love. She wanted his heart to be open to her, she wanted him to confide within her. Keira wanted his heart to bleed like an open wound, so she could help him mend his obviously broken heart. And today was the day that it would happen.
Keira's mind continued to wander. Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks and stopped to gaze up at the clear blue sky. "Does he really love me...does he really care..." Keira shook the thought off. "No... that couldn't be true." Keira didn't want to believe that a thought like that could ever be true. She was confident that he cared, loved her. She has spent a lot of time with him over the years, but ever since the reading of the will and being poisening he had distanced himself from her dramatically. She hardly ever was able to spend 'together' time at all amy more, actually, she hasn't spent any time with him at all lately.
Keira saw the "Caffine Addicts Cafe" up ahead. She slowed her pace and casually strolled towards the cafe. She drew in a long breath and continued onward. She passed by an omniously dark alley. It was strange for an area like that to be so dark espically if it was a very bright and sunny day.
Keira shrugged it off and continued to walk. She halted. "I must be losing it." Keira told herself. She heard the cries of an animal in the alley. She moved closer to the alley. It sounded like it was hurt, and hurt badly. "It can't hurt to check quickly right?"
She entered the alley quickly and peered around a rather large dumpster. She gasped and choked at what she saw. It was a black cat...with a knife lodged in its side and its body sat in a pool of crimson blood.
The cat howled and growled in pain, "Oh, poor kitty." Keira said gently to the cat. Miracously the cat relaxed. "Hold on one second, you'll be okay." The cat didn't fight, but allowed Keira to pull the blade from its body. The cat winced, but soon began purring. "See, you'll be just fine." Keira stood and examined the blade. It was curved with a beige hilt. "I wonder whose this is?" Keira said to the cat. "Stay there. I'll get my friend Jak and we'll get you to the vet sweetie. Will find the person who hurt you and when we do, we-"
Keira let out a yelp as a hand encased her mouth and wrapped around her waist. She struggled to pull away, but the hand, gloved in yellow held her down strongly. Suddenly the injured cat, sprang to its feet and winced. It limped over to Keira's purse (which had fallen onto the ground) and sniffed it. The cat, which seemed to have picked up a scent, other than Keira's, and pulled a hairclip out. She, (now that the backside could be seen) hurrily limped out of the alley as Keira was dragged into the darkness of the alleyway.
Ok, that's the end of chapter one! What happens to Keira and what is the point of that cat, and what meaning does it hold? And what will happen when Jak discovers Keira is missing? I'll get the next chapter up really soon, but only if i get enough good reviews. And this is my first fanfic, so no flames please, only constructive critisim.
