I'll be sure to make this chapter a bit longer than the last one, which was kinda short. But now it's onward to the story... :)
-She was like a streak of light across the rooftops. Midnight was moving as fast as her legs would carry her. Flying from rooftop to rooftop following the freshest sent trail of Jak that she had. Maneuvering across the rooftops of Haven City could be a bit tricky, with some closer together than others and some real long leaps to make, but Midnight was making quick work of the area though.
She soon came to the large steel door that seperated Haven City from the forest that layed beyond. Midnight stood in wait for the door to open, but it seemed that the sensor didn't reconize Midnight because of her small stature. But she couldn't waste anytime. This was a race against time and Midnight was fully aware of that. She paced the door and found a very small crack in the door.
It was the only way. Midnight pushed and pulled her body through. She flattened herself as much as she could to fit and she was just barely making it. She could feel a tear in her side as she forced her body through. Midnight gave one final pull and she popped out of the crack. She stumbled and stopped to give the scratch a quick lick. She got back up and stormed into the forest.
She flew past trees making them seem as a blur as she whirred by. With a leap she skidded to a stop in front of Jak. Jak who was sitting with a back against a tree was staring off into the distance, his mind still in shock of what had happened. Still beating up on himself about how he let his anger get the best of him and how he ultimately was responsable for the fate of Keira.
Jak didn't notice the cat until she licked his hand. He looked down at it and frowned, "Go away you stupid cat."
Midnight nudged him in the side and began to walk away. She turned around and meowed at Jak. "What?" Jak was still puzzled by what the cat wanted. But Jak really wasn't in the mood to deal with anymore cats.
Midnight ran to him and bit him in the arm. Jak let out a yell and decided to chase the cat. "I'm gonna blow your head off!" Jak stopped to pull out his gun. But he noticed that the cat stopped as well. Jak began to run after the cat again for a while and then stopped. The cat also stopped and turned to meow at him.
'It wants me to follow it? I guess I might as well...'
Jak followed the cat and it stopped at the gate and scratched at it. Jak came closer and the door opened it. The cat stormed out of it and Jak pursued the cat through the city streets.
-Kana rolled over on her side and mumbled a curse to herself. She noted the deep gash in her leg which stopped her from standing, let alone sit up. Kana tried to focus enough to get up, but each time a pain shot through her leg. Kana lifted her head, "You crazy bitch. You are one screwed up woman." A tinge of sarcasm and bitterness in her voice.
"Oh, relax sweetheart. At least enjoy what time you have left." Kana was trying to stand. "Don't waste your time trying to stand. I cut you so precisely that if you do stand, you'll bleed to death in no time. Don't ruin the fun..."
"Keira, what happened to you? You we're so kind and-"
"You happened to me!" Keira shouted. "You killed me and caused me to become...this. It's all your fault that Jak hates me for this and I'm going to return the favor and have what I want...revenge."
Kana's voice became gentle. "I didn't kill you Keira, I swear."
Keira ran to her and held the knife to her neck, "That's bullshit! You told me about Jak and the unused piping system and lead me straight to my watery death! Don't play stupid with me...if it wasn't you, than who? What..I mean are you telling me that you were just a tool in all of this!"
Kana painfully moved on the floor. "Yes, that's what I've been trying to tell you!"
Keira laughed, "And you expect me to believe you? Ha, you must think that I'm crazy!"
"You are crazy! You have me me lying here bleeding on the floor, you cut your own arm, and you want to kill me! You seem pretty psycho to me...actually what happened between last week and this week?" Kana could feel the pain getting worse. "You were fine last week..."
"I haven't been fine since all of this happened!" Keira voice grew angrier. And someone appeared to be at the back door, but Keira didn't see it. "All I want is a normal life and for Jak to accept me for who I am now!"
The back door flew open and Midnight ran in and stood in front of Kana. Seperating Keira and Kana, as if to protect Kana. And behind Midnight came...
"But I do accept you, Keira. And I do still love you and all of you." Jak stood in the doorway and slowly came in. "But killing Kana won't fix any of this...so please Keira put the knife down. If you truely love me you'll put the knife down...NOW, Keira."
Keira stared down at the knife and dropped it. She fell to the floor, with her face in her hands. "What am I doing?" She cried through her tears. Jak stood there a bit confused.
Kana forced herself up and looked at the confused Jak. "She had an emotional breakdown. Obviously a big event must have happened to make her lose touch with reality. but she'll be fine."
Keira stopped crying the moment that Jak knelt down behind her and wrapped her in his arms. He whispered something in her ear. Kana sighed, "If it helps any...I can tell you Keira who put me up to setting you up for your death."
Don't think for a second that this story is close to done! Kana will reveal who put her up to the set-up, but the real killer keeps seeming to elude everyone and they are watching Keira and Jak every moment, enjoying their struggle to find them. but clue after clue is leading Jak and Keira closer and closer but the true killer may be closer to them than they think...
Please R and R! Thanks! I really do enjoy reading the comments and reviews people send me!
