Wow...this is part one of two for the finale of "Our Love Can Never Be". And this story will live up to it's notorious title. Remember everything that has happened in the story so far, because it will all come into play. Espicially some of the out of character things Jak has done, the prologue, and the recent chapters because they all hold a relevent secret. I've been playing this story out and now you will see the truth. A shocking truth that will take this story on an end that you never could have anticipated...
---- The headline: Catwoman attacks Palace. Keira skimmed the details. It read: "At 3:00 am a shadowy figure was seen at the top of the Baron's Palace. A Krimson Guard went to check it out. At 3:45 another Krimson Guard checked in on the area only to find that his comrade was dead. Claw marks embedded on his face and neck...although nothing appeared to be stolen."
Keira stared blankly at the headline, with her mouth slightly ajar. 'There is no way..." she thought. 'I couldn't have been up there...I wasn't.' She stood and touched her belly, where the wounds were located. "Wait..." She said. Keira lifted her shirt, there wasn't a scratch on her. There wasn't a scar, cut, or anything. As if the wound wasn't ever there. But she could have sworn it was there just a few moments ago...
A hand clasped her shoulder. Startled, Keira spun around. "Oh, Jak..." She let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Keira," he said gently. "how are you feeling?"
"Jak..." Keira's voice was shaken. "Wha--- what's going on? Where's the wound, the claw marks?"
Jak chuckled slightly, "The doctor took care of it. Are you alright, you look shaken?"
"There's... no scars, scratches, or anything..." Keira ran a hand across her stomach.
Jak smiled, "I know. The doctors did a great job."
"What about this headline?" Keira held the paper to Jak's face.
Jak studied it and replied, "I know, weird isn't it? But it couldn't have been you. I had taken you to the hospital at that time."
Keira took a moment to take in what Jak had said. "Wait, you took me to the hospital?"
"Yeah."
"And you are telling me that they didn't question the wounds and they just let me leave with wounds like that?" Keira's voice grew hasty.
"Well, yeah." Jak said. "The doctors said that you would be fine."
Keira fel back into her couch, the color was drained from her face. 'Something weird is going on. I have to figure this out. It makes no sense. It feels like nothing is real and I'm just in some dream...' She turned to Jak. "You're telling me that that didn't seem fishy to you?"
"Umm...no." Jak said. Keira stood and headed towards the door. "Where are you going?"
"I need to get some air." Keira replied.
"Ok." Jak said with a smile.
Keira breezed the streets of Haven City. Her mind was in a complete haze, she wasn't paying attention to a thing. Right now, nothing made sense to her. So many weird things had happened ever since she arrived in this city. It's almost like her life was surreal. Jak had been acting strange ever since she met up with him again and what happened to Daxter? It's like nothing was real anymore...actually ever since she arrived in Haven City her life didn't seem real. As if she was lost in some crazy dream. Just as Keira looked up she saw her. It was Ashelin. Keira saw that she was approching her.
"Keira..."
Keira turned, trying to look surprised. "Oh, Ashelin. What's up." Just then it hit Keira. 'wait how does she know my name? She's never met me...better just go with this.'
"Nothing really, I suppose." Ashelin had a strange look on her face.
"I guess I'll be on my way..." Keira began to stroll off.
"Keira, wait!" Ashelin yelled.
Keira spun around and felt a sharp pain in her neck. It was Ashelin, with a twisted look on her face, and Keira could see the handle of a knife sticking out of her neck.
Ashelin laughed wickedly, "I've been trying so long to kill you. And you just wouldn't go...now it's time to put the cat to sleep."
Keira cried out as she grabbed the knife and ripped it from her neck. She grabbed at her neck and looked at her hand, the sight stunned her. There wasn't an ounce of blood on her, and there wasn't even a cut. Keira looked around, and Ashelin was gone and the city began to spin. Keira felt as if she was going to collapse and die. She could feel her heart struggling and it felt as if her life was falling away from her. But suddenly she heard a man's voice.
"Hello in there." the voice said. "If you can hear me I'm your new doctor, Dr. Gregory House."
'Doctor...new doctor?...i've never had a doctor...' Keira thought.
"Right now, you are starting to come out of a coma that you've been in for quite a while. I'm sure you have experienced hallucinations that you are registering as actual reality, and you have probally experienced some traumatic events in these hallucinations. Point is, you are afflicted with a strange disease. Your body's health is deterorating, and so is the quality of your little dreams..."
'What...I can't be in a coma...that's not possible...i've been living this whole time...'
The voice continued that she now knew as Dr. House. "Oh and I forgot, your dying, too. Huh, interesting, isn't it. As you come out of the coma, you start to die. Oh, but don't worry, you'll be fine. Or we'll at least pretend you'll be fine." Dr. House's voice faded and Keira slipped into darkness.
"What's going on?" Well, you'll have to wait for part two of the final chapter. Coma? don't worry, it'll all come into focus in the final installment. But I'll give you one small hint...remember in the beginning of Jak 2 where they all crash land in Haven City. Jak and Daxter seemed to have landed ok, but what if a certain someone had accidentally crash landed on her head?
Ever watch the show "House"? Well, the doctors you are going to meet are from the hit Tv medical drama "House" (which is the best show ever). So, here is a quick disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from "House", or much of this story at all.
Questions, comments, reviews? I'll be glad to answer any concern that you may have and i'll greatly apreciate any reviews:)
