We're at chapter 7, finally! I didn't think I'd actually get the story this far, I was actually thinking about discontinuing the story, but I've been getting a lot of hits lately and reviews so I'll be continuing this story to the end! I hate to say, but not this chapter, but the next will be where the real stuff will be revealed but this is still important if I had to fit it in here...but now enough of my useless drabble onward to the story!
-Keira was lost in the beauty of the moment. The fact that she had the sheer power to quell the power of a vicious dark eco fueled monster was amazing. She brought him back into his normal self with a meer kiss that had sparked into a fire. Keira had now let her guard down for him, but that may be her biggest mistake.
Jak was convinced through the kiss and the impecable timing of the 'catwoman' to arrive at the scene that he knew her. It was almost certain. He had a hunch, but had to know if it was true. And just as he thought would happen, her guard was completely down. He had to know who this amazing woman was, a woman with the powers of a cat and a pure viciousness, but also the most caring nature. He had wedged his fingers underneath the back of the mask and he could feel her soft, smooth hair. He began to pull the mask backward, peeling it from her head.
'You've got to wake up from this!' A voice screamed in Keira's head, shaking her to the very core. Keira's eyes shot open. She could feel his hands tugging at the mask, pulling her hair along with it. It was coming off slowly, but surely and soon her hair would flow down from underneath the mask and it would be revealed.
"No!" She cried. She pulled her lips from his and took her nails and dug them into his hands. Pushing the claws further and further until Jak yelped was forced to pull himself from her. He grabbed his hands and felt the sting of blood trickle from the wounds. He clenched his hands into fists and looked up and she was gone.
-Keira layed in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She had changed into her regular attire and let out a long sigh. She could hear the gentle footsteps of Midnight coming to her side. The cat leapt onto the bed and curled up next to Keira and began to purr. Keira reached out and began to pet Midnight.
"Oh Midnight, what am I going to do?" The cat stopped purring and sat up and looked at her. "I almost let Jak pull my mask off because I got lost in the moment. It could have been over then and there. He could have found out, and Kana turned her back on me again. I still have no clue who's side she's on. I've got too much to think about." Midnight gave her a gentle lick on the face and appeared to smile. Keira smiled it return. "That was a damn good kiss, though." She began to laugh.
Midnight stood and moved to the end of the bed and curled up and closed her eyes. "Good idea. Keira looked at her clock. It is late." The clock said one a.m. Keira turned over on her side. "I should go lock the door, but I'm too tired right now..." She closed her eyes and began to drift off onto a deep sleep and she began to dream...
-It was dark. Too dark to even see...to even know where she was going. She was running just to go...to go somewhere, anywhere. It was like an endless abyss that she couldn't escape from, it seemed to continue forever. She squinted ahead and saw two glowing irridecent eyes in the midnight.
They backed further and further away and were getting harder and harder to reach. 'Please wait!' But in the end they lead to a light. Like a light at the end of a tunnel. She ran to it and could now see. she was outfitted in her Catwoman outfit, but without a mask. And she was standing in front of Jak, but he motioned for her to come closer and she did. He pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear, 'I'll love you no matter who you are or what happened to you...I'll love you forever.' Keira was warmed by the words, but in an instant Jak was pulled from her and into the darkness as a dark and sinester voice, that sounded like him but...it couldn't be ('could it?') said,
'He can't love you! A monster can never love and never will love! He'll be lost to the darkness and no kiss of yours can ever save him or bring him back from his fate, he'll be mine, a cold hearted demon he shall be! Our love can never be!'
Our love...'
"Ahhhhh!" Keira threw herself from the bed. She was huffing and puffing, and cover in a cold sweat. She felt two arms encircle her and pull her back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Your door was unlocked and I-" Keira turned around and yelled again. "Shhhhh...I said I was sorry. I was a bit worried you'd left you door unlocked and usually you don't do that, so I came to see if you were ok."
"Ok my God, Jak. Don't ever, I mean EVER do that again. What the hell is your problem!" Keira took a few deep breaths and relaxed. "Sorry, I was dreaming and then you, and wow what a night." She studied Jak's face. "Something is wrong...I can tell, what is it?"
"Could we talk?"
"Sure," Keira crossed her legs on the bed, turned a light on and faced Jak. "What is it?"
"Have you ever met Catwoman?"
Keira laughed a bit, "My, no. Why would I have met her? I only hear about her and the stuff she does and what not. Why do you ask?"
Jak stood and turned to leave, "I don't know. Maybe she reminded me of someone or maybe I wanted to thank her. but I guess I'll just go now."
"Wait, you could stay here for the night..."
"That would be nice."
This is the end of a very short chapter. Not too much action, but remember these events. They'll be important in the coming chapters. In Chapter 8: Keira isn't convinced about what Jak said that night. And Jak knows a little more than Keira thinks. And a new part of Keira's mysterious death wil be revealed and it will surprise you. Kana chose to save her next appearence for next chapter.
I actually wanted this chapter to be the part where the action really picked up, but I needed to find a place for this little part. So, I put it here. But I promise, next chapter will be it. It will be a turning point in this whole story (even that was supposed to be this chapter...)
Please R and R and thanks for reading!
