Welcome to the action packed chapter 5 of my on-going series about Keira as catwoman. I had a very bad case of writers block and was stumped on what to do next. But I've got a good idea of how to develop it now. Now for those who forgot, here's a quick recap of what happened last chapter (if you remember, you can continue on to the story) Last chapter, Keira had a surprise visit from Jak and a bit was 'revealed', then Keira stalkes and attacks Kana. She steals a few books and her purse, leaving Kana to bleed on the floor. But not is everything as it seems...
- Kana was lying on the floor. Blood seeped from every gash and wound that catwoman had left. Kana struggled to her feet. Pain surged through her whole body as she attempted to stand. Her legs buckled, but she pulled herself back up by clinging onto her coffee table. She limped over to her couch, where she pulled out a first aid kit from under her couch. She fumbled with the bandages, when a silloetted person enter the door. Most of their body consealed in the darkness of that one particular corner of the room.
Kana smiled wickedly, "What do you want?"
"You have failed me...you promised me she'd be dead after this...and she's still alive."
Kana rolled her eyes, "I'VE failed YOU? On the contarary, I'm not the one who executed the whole plan anyhow. You just wanted me to set her up for the 'plan', while you do all the real dirty work. And I did, plus she wasn't a real bad person, she was actually really nice. I would have never worked up the nerve to actually murder her."
The voice seemed annoyed with the responce, "And that's why you have failed me. She's more alive than she's ever been now. And you haven't met your end of the bargain...yet."
- Keira dumped the contents of the purse onto the floor. It was all the typical things you'd expect to find in a woman's purse. Make-up, cell phone, mirror, etc. "This is nothing but junk!" She yelled. Annoyed, she wiped the stuff to the floor and it made a loud crash.
She thumbed through the pages of the Dark Eco book. Just skimming for any notes Kana might have left, a small piece of paper fell from the book. She picked it up and unfolded it. The note had obviously been through hell, a small note was made on it and an address. "We have to finish this plan soon, and you still have to meet your end of the bargain. Meet me at my house: 6666 Dead End alley."
"Looks like we've got a lead, Midnight. But if Kana was only a pawn in the operation, then who is the mastermind? The controller of this puppet show?" She gestured to Midnight. "C'mon let's check out this address."
Keira was out on the street with Midnight lingering close by. She was dressed very plainly to fit into the crowd. She felt someone grab her shoulders. She turned around and swung her fist making contact with the poor soul who had to feel that and as it figured it was Jak.
"What the hell was that for!" Jak yelled, he grabbed his chin.
"I'm so sorry! But it was you who scared me, so you deserved it. But..." She moved his hand and kissed the wound gently. They both had flush red faces after that. Keira stared at Jak's empty shoulder. "Where's Daxter?"
"Taking a nap."
"Are you serious? Taking a nap on the job and leaving you all alone? You must be pretty lonely." She mused. "Let me accompany you." She looped her arm around his and they walked together. "What are you doing anyway? Or are you just checking up on me again:"
"No, actually, Torn sent me out looking for some woman named Kana. Word got out that she was attacked then she mysterously went missing a couple hours ago. She's really valeuable to the Underground, supposedly." Jak mumbled the last part. "But I hope she isn't who I think she is..."
"What was that last part?"
"Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself."
They walked the streets arm in arm looking for Kana. Keira knew exactly who they were looking for and she knew Jak knew too. They turned into an alley and looked around. Seeing nothing, they turned around, only to be met by the bloodied and scared face of a woman.
"Kana!" Keira yelled.
"You!" Jak menacingly approached her.
Well, that's all I have in store for this very short chapter. but I'll be sure to get more chapters up soon to get this story moving along. The plot is thickening and Keira is starting to find that everything she once believed to have happened isn't what she thought. The next chapter is going to be sure to blow your mind away as another possibility is revealed of her unclear death...and what it may be will shock you.
Please R&R. I'll take any review, but NO FLAMES period. That goes espicially to you anomoyus reviewers. I find flames to be very rude and unless you'd like people to flame about your hard work, just don't do it. Thank you for reading and NOT flaming my work, constructive critisem (SP?) is nice though.
