"Ahh…I gotta tell ya, you can scratch me…ANYTIME, toots!" Daxter said, standing on his friend's shoulder blowing me kisses as Tryst closed the door behind them.

"Well, let me show you your room. Before I do, though, I thought you might like this." She reached into her pocket and placed something in my hand. I looked down and saw a beautiful red bracelet. "It means protection, according to the Onin. I have one of those bracelets of my own, but I figured you could use one, too."

"The…Onin?" I asked with confusion.

She nodded. "She's very wise, and knows many things." She smiled.

"Thank you…it's the nicest thing anyone's ever given me!" I replied as I hugged her.

"Anytime, child! Now let's get to your room. I think it'll be much nicer than wherever Torn kept you." She implied with a smile. As she led me up the stairs, we passed a blue door. I stopped and gazed at it with curiosity.

"Is this your room?" I asked, knowing she was by my side.

"No…" she said softly, "It's my son's room." As I looked back at Tryst, I could see the subject upset her. Her face lost it's color for a moment, and her eyes lost their sparkle. She could probably hear my mind racing with questions and looked at me with a sad gaze. "The Krimzon Guards took him when he was only 17. I don't know what he did, but…I never heard from him again."

"Tryst…I'm so sorry…I didn't mean…" I said, holding my bracelet and looking for words to express how badly I felt to have her come back to such a sad memory. She shook her head.

"It's alright, dear…you didn't know. Oh my, look at me, I'm a mess!" she stated, wiping the tears and giving out a small chuckle. "Let's get you settled."

When we got into my room, the first thing I noticed was the yellow walls and the nice comfy-looking bed. I set my things down and collapsed in bed, a big grin on my face. This was much nicer than the hard mattress Torn had.

"I'm glad to see you like it! And look...a nice view from your window." Tryst added, motioning me to come towards the window. I sat next to Tryst at the edge of the bed as we both gazed out into the city. A bit of fear rushed into my body. I had no idea where anything was, or who anyone was. The only people I met other than Tryst were Jak, Daxter, and Torn. We heard screaming as we saw someone being chased by Krimzon Guards. Tryst turned away immediately and took something out of her pocket.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I followed her, seeing what she had.

"This is a picture of my son. His name's Mitch." She said, showing me the photograph. He had brown spiky hair and hazel eyes. He had the same smile as his mother, as he was hugging a younger form of Tryst in the picture. "It was when we first moved here, after his father passed away. You know," she turned back towards me and gazed at my face, "you remind me a little of him. And come to think of it, you'd be around his age too. How old are you my dear?"

"Nineteen." I replied softly.

Her eyes lit up a little. "He would be twenty-one; just a few years apart." She paused for a moment and headed towards the door. She turned around and said, "I would be happy if he had found someone like you, Jessi."

As she left, a feeling of sadness swept over me. I understood how she was trying to replace her sadness with something else, because that's what happens when you lose a loved one, I suppose. I gazed back out the window and wondered how Jak and Daxter were holding up. It was then I noticed more Krimzon Guards walking around, and remembered what Torn had said.

But why would they want me?


That night, I grabbed a cloak from the closet, and wrapped it around me. If I needed answers, I couldn't wait for Jak and Daxter to come back. I needed to get it myself. As I slowly tiptoed through the hallway, I stopped in front of Mitch's door. I didn't open it, fearing that I might wake Tryst up and upset her. I looked down at the bracelet she gave me and remembered what she said.

"It means protection, according to the Onin…"

My mind was settled. If anyone would know what was going on, maybe this "Onin" would know a thing or two. I left a note for Tryst, took a map and silently walked out of the warm house and into the cold night. I saw a nearby zoomer and hopped on.

"If I can do this in videogames, I shouldn't have a problem in real life." I whispered to myself as I heard the zoomer turn on. I looked straight ahead and started driving…backwards. I fixed that problem and drove on until I reached the Onin's hut (three zoomers later).

As I walked in the hut, I saw it exactly as it was in the game. Sure enough, I turn to my left, and a weird monkey-bird was hanging upside down. I looked closely at it. Suddenly, the animal's eyes opened wide as he gave a huge shriek.

"Arrk! What a rude wake-up call!" he yelled as he landed on the Onin. "I am PECKER!" I snickered a little as he continued to mention something about his mother, I wasn't really paying attention. I was focused on the Onin, who had blue light moving from her hands as she waved them around in the air.

"The Onin says it is good to see you safe, Jessi, and Tryst knows you're here." My eyes widened.

"How did…How does…"

"The Onin knows all! Arrrk don't you listen??" Pecker said impatiently.

"Yea, okay. What I need to know is…why are Krimzon Guard after me? And what happened to Tryst's son? And how do I get back home?" I asked, my eyes swelling with tears. I was frightened.

"Onin says, 'you will learn all this in time,' blah blah blah…and not to be afraid. Also, she says Jak and Daxter—that annoying little fur ball—will be most helpful in your quest to return home." I looked at the Onin who had a smile on her face. I suddenly felt a warmth take over my body…the feeling of safety. That things will work out and be fine. I smiled back and bowed out of respect.

"Onin also says feel free to come back if you need guidance. She will do the best she can, since she does not know everything." Pecker finished. His eyes widened as he confronted Onin about not knowing everything and why she is called the "all knowing onin" when in reality she doesn't know all. I slowly crept out and noticed my zoomer was gone.

"Might as well walk." I said to myself as I continued on foot. Suddenly, I heard something that made chills run down my spine.

"There she is! Get her! You're under arrest!!" I turned around to see a group of Krimzon Guard heading towards me. I ran for all I was worth, but to no avail. Pain traveled through my body as one of them shot me in my leg. I collapsed to the ground in pain as I looked up. One of the Krimzon guards was right over me as with one blow, knocked me unconscious with the butt of his gun.


The Krimzon Guard stood over the girl, who was now unconscious. He knelt down and looked at the bracelet that was on the girl's wrist…why does it look so familiar?

"Good hit, man!" the second guard said, patting the first on the back. "Let's bring her to the Baron. He'll be glad to see her." With that, they jumped in their zoomer and headed to the Baron's headquarters with a new prisioner.



Okay, thats all for now...whats gonna happen to Jessi? And why was that Krimzon Guard so interested in that bracelet?

again, comments would be nice! lol ;)
