Jessi could feel her heart racing as she once again checked the perimeter. She never thought that she could end up like this. That all her powers and training would prove futile. And worst of all she never thought that Kyle of all people would abandon her in this hellish place
Taking a few moments to rest she went over plans of the structure again. They were six exits but they all highly visible and the hundreds of people swarming the place presented too much of a thread. Jessi nearly snorted in contempt. As if those savage beasts could be described as people. She still shuddered when she though about her first encounter with them. She had never seen such horrifying scenes. The sheer brutality and mindless savageness reminded her of the zombie movies that Josh liked so much
She began thinking once again of possible ways to escape. She knew that it was futile. That coward Kyle took the only way out several hours ago. Even if she could make it out of the complex she had no chance of getting away but even impossible dreams were better then to wallow on what she went through in the last hours.
The only thing she could was wait. Her superior senses were nearly useless. The horrible sounds which seemed designed to break down the mind with their constant repetition made any attempts at increasing her auditory senses to be a lesson in pain. Her improved eyesight was also nearly usless because of the many blinking lights that seem to blind her. However she did manage to spot Amanda being led to the eastern wing of the compound. Jessi shuddered. She couldn't stand but she wouldn't wish this fate even upon her worse enemy
Jessi wondered for a second if she shouldn't use her cell phone to hack into the security feed. If she could locate her tormentors she would have a far easier time avoiding capture but she couldn't risk it. She knew that if she turned it on even second they could track her down. So all she had left was hiding. She took a place near a wall and tried her best to blend in with the shadows. If she could stay out of sight for a few more hours she just might make it
But it was not to be. She felt an iron grip on her hand and was yanked out of her sanctuary. Fearfully she looked at the face of her tormentor and for the first time in a long while she felt completely and utterly defeated.
" Jessi!!!" screeched an enthusiastic Lori" Where you have been? You nearly missed the sweater sale. They are 50 % off."
" Don't worry Lori" laughed Nicole' Thanks to our wonderful boys who volunteered to prepare dinner we can continue our Christmas shopping for several more hours! Come on Jessi there is shopping to be done. Stay near me so you don't get lost again. The Mall is quite a big place"
Jessi whimpered in defeat and steeled herself for several hours of hell
Hey guys. Sorry for the quality of this chapter. I know it's rushed and probably full of errors(not to mention short) but I wanted to post something before I head for my holidays where I won't have access to a computerss. So here is to you my lovely readers. Merry Christmas :)
