If you recognize it from Jumper, then I don't own it. I only own my OCs.

Wow, um, yeah.

Where?

I was sitting on the couch, taking in sharp breaths to the point that I swore that I was going to pass out.

Neal was running around like mad, trying to get me comfortable.

Why is this all happened, you may ask?

He told me where we were.

No way was I used to jumping THAT far!

Sure, Griffin jumped me to his Empty Corner when he and his dad where practicing jumping, but not to a completely different continent!

Neal probably thought that I didn't know about jumping at all and tried to get me to calm down by saying that jumping was natural and that Jake could do it too.

I really didn't care if Jake could do it too and I thought that it was a little silly that he was explaining it to me after he jumped me here and I saw Jake jump in front of my own two eyes.

I think that he was panicking, too.

I just wanted to know why Egypt of all places to live when you can jump everywhere around the world!

I started to calm down.

'Well, there's no walking back home if I wanted to leave.'

Neal noticed my breathing getting regular and smiled.

"I'm sorry that the whole "jumping" thing is new to you. I'm really not surprised that it is. We, Jumpers, try to keep it under wraps."

I grabbed his wrists and he bent down to my level.

"Jumping isn't new news to me. Jumping to a completely different continent is!"

Neal looked at me a little confused mixed with surprise.

"Jumping's not new to you? Who else do you know that is a Jumper?"

I felt the corners of my mouth pull up a little.

"Griffin."

"Ah." He said and bobbed his head in understanding.

"Why did you freeze in the store when I said Griffin's name?" I asked.

He stopped the bobbing motion and looked at me again.

"If I tell you, Paladin's could kill you to get to me."

I scoffed at that.

"Oh yes, like they aren't going to try to kill me for living with you."

Sarcasm dripped off of every word like water on a newly oiled object.

He smirked a little and nodded.

"Ok, if you insist on knowing. My name is Neal Griffin. Jake's is Jake Allen."

I smiled at him.

"And mine's Melody Zoelzer."

He smiled fully and I blushed a little.

His smile was beautiful.

"Well, Ms. Zoelzer, would you like to go somewhere?"

I smiled even bigger and I could feel my face get a little hot.

"Yeah. How about-" I was cut off as we herd banging noises come from the kitchen?

We rushed over and saw Jake on the ground.

"Are you ok?" I asked, jogging over to him.

He had a slight cut above his eyebrow when he looked up at me.

"What is she still doing here?" He asked in his Bristol accent.

I frowned a little at this.

Was their something wrong with me being here?

"She's here because she staying with us."

"Well don't let her anywhere close to me. I don't want her here in the first place."

He got up and started walking away, but then, a claw-thing shot out of nowhere and hit the wall, right over Jake's shoulder. I screamed out of surprise.

'Where in the bloody world did that come from?'

Jake turned around instantly and we all saw a white object, suspended in mid-air. "Wormhole." I stated bluntly.

Another claw came and got Jake and pulled him in.

Without thinking, I jumped into the wormhole before it closed as Neal yelled my name.

The weird feelings returned and I couldn't concentrate for a second.

I saw a lot of feet and I noticed Jake's black boots.

I scrambled up a bit too fast because I started to get even dizzier.

"Not so fun, is it Melody?"

I recognized that voice.

"Roland." I felt his aura get a little tenser.

"What are you doing with these people Melody? These people are devil's spawn. They all must be destroyed!"

I winced a little as my senses came back to normal.

"I don't think that. I think that they are the more evolved form of the human species. It was about time that human's needs were going to be met by escape."

Roland got really angry at this while Jake gloated around a little, even if he was captive by several men and tied up in electrical cords.

As Roland came towards me, I darted off to the left of this house that we were in and some Paladin's started shooting at me.

I ducked as soon as I heard the first one fire and none of them, surprisingly, hit me.

I ran over to Jake and hit the guard on my right's danger zone.

He dropped to the ground as the one on the left tried to shock me.

I ducked and punched him in his place.

He fell to the floor also as I stood up and looked at Jake.

He was looking up at me in a way that it looked like his was in pain.

I grabbed a lamp that was by the guard on the left and hit the claw-thing that was tied around Jake.

Jake got up swiftly and leaned against the wall. I heard one of the claw-thing's gunfire and I pushed Jake onto the ground.

The swirling sensation started up again and we were free falling.

Then, as suddenly as we were falling, we hit a rocky ground with an 'oomph!'

Jake looked at me while he was on his back and I quickly stood up, though, I was incredibly dizzy and had to lean on, what I'm guessing was a table, for support.

I heard some footsteps and looked over in the direction they came in.

My heart started beating harder because I didn't know who's they were.

Once the person came into view, I let out a sigh of relief.

"What the hell happened back there?" Neal yelled at us.

We were back in the cave.

"You're girlfriend saved my life back there." Jake said calmly.

Neal looked at me in surprise.

"You saved him? I thought for sure that something bad was going to happen with you two."

He grabbed my shoulders and started examining me.

I felt small and kind of nervous from the attention I was receiving.

Jake came up to us.

"Maybe she's not that bad. She'll still have to do something for rent, but I think that I can tolerate her."

I smiled a little and Neal smirked.

"Looks like you made a friend Melody." Neal said to me as Jake walked over to the couch and flipped on the TV.
