Terminator: The Allison Young Chronicles
Chapter 8: Jane Connor Part 1
The wastelands of Los Angeles were pretty quiet this time of night. The sounds were of Aerial Hunter Killers flying about the night sky trying to find their next target, and the sound of the wind blowing through the city. It was as quiet as night as you could get in the post apocalyptic world after Judgement Day.
Los Angeles, 2022: (Location Unknown)
Two men are seen sprinting down the streets of LA, avoiding the rubble of fallen buildings and scattered destroyed vehicles that were too close to the initial blast locations. The men enter what used to be an office building that was the only one seen within miles that wasn't actually torn completely down, and entering at what appears to be a lobby. "D-did… we lose... em." one man asks, out of breath and reaches for his water canteen before taking a long swig of the cooling liquid inside.
"I think… so" the other man asks also out of breath while falling to the cold hard ground, holding his assault rifle in hands. "What the hell was that Victor!?" he then asks his partner in complete fear in his voice as he looks at him.
"That guy… no that machine almost killed us!" Victor says with a loud whisper before he sits down on the floor that is littered with dust and scattered paper. "Skynet is really stepping up their game Anthony! it killed Samantha and Ray like they were flies."
"We need to regroup with the others and inform everybody of this new machine." Anthony says in a much calmer tone after having time to collect his thoughts and think of a plan.
"That's a good idea, but how are we gonna reach em?" Victor said in a mocking tone, seeing the flaw in his companions plan. "Ray had the radio so we are dead in the water as of right now" he then said very hopeless, and rests his head on the wall behind him.
The two's conversation is interrupted when suddenly the wind inside of the office building starts to pick up, with the dust and scattered paper flying around the room that Victor and Anthony are in. Both see that sparks are starting to fly out of nowhere around the room rapidly, and almost hit them. Victor and Anthony get up at a fast pace and immediately rush to cover behind an old reception desk as a bright sphere of light forms between the sparks and starts growing in size before disappearing from across the lobby. A crater is formed by the bubble with a ring of fire surrounding it and a nude woman appears kneeling inside.
"What the hell!? Anthony look!" Victor says while getting up from behind the desk, Anthony immediately follows suit but raises his rifle. The room was quiet afterwards, besides the sound of fire crackling around the crater. The woman stands up from her kneeling position and looks around the room, scanning for threats and sees Victor and Anthony slowly making their way too her.

The woman starts walking towards Victor and Anthony, meeting them halfway before stopping only four feet in front of them. Anthony still has his rifle raised at the woman. He was still shaken up after the encounter with the terminator just minutes ago and wasn't going to take any chances. "Who are you? Are you ok miss?" Victor asks in a soft tone as he uses his left hand to lower Anthony's assault rifle, and showing her that they don't want to hurt her.
"Yes. Thank you for asking" the woman says with a smile on her face, seeing that the two men are looking up and down at her nude figure. "Do you have any extra clothes?" she then asks the two men before they quickly meet their eyes back to hers.
"Y-yeah here take this for now" Anthony says while removing his coat and gives it to the woman. The woman gives the men a polite smile and accepts the coat before throwing it on.
"What happened to your clothes?" Victor asks after Anthony gave her his coat to cover her up until he could reach the extra clothing that was in his bag. "And what was all that lightning about?"
The woman smiles and chuckles a bit before answering Victor's question. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" She just said simply. "What year is it?" The woman asks while curiously looking around the lobby area of building they are currently in.
"It's 2022, that's all I know. sorry." Victor said while taking his eyes to the ground. Nobody really knew the exact date without a calendar or something he thought to himself.
"Wait how do you not know what year it is?" Anthony said with complete confusion. "Lady are you like on drugs or something?" He then asks very disrespectfully but not giving a damn. This woman won't tell them her name or where she came from so he didn't trust her.
"No. I am not on drugs. Im--" the woman said before getting interrupted by loud footsteps behind her. She turns to the source of the sound and sees a large man holding a plasma rifle in his arms. The man starts slowly making his way to her and the two men. The woman does a scan on the large man to assess his threat level.

"Oh shit!" Anthony screams out at the top of his lungs as he raises his Colt AR-15 assault rifle, immediately recognizing the machine that killed his friends and almost got him as well. The woman stands in front of the two men, blocking them from view of the machine and starts sprinting towards the unknown terminator. The machine raises its plasma weapon and begins concentrating its fire onto the woman, while Anthony and Victor immediately run to cover and begin returning fire to the machine, and also thinking that this woman they had just met is very crazy and probably was on drugs.
The woman dodges the terminators plasma rounds and grabs the machine by the shoulders, hurling him into a wall and crashing into the next room.
However the machine quickly recovers and sees that this unknown terminatrix attacking him is a high threat and sees his plasma rifle isn't effective enough. The machine assessed that the only possible way to terminate her is to use hand to hand combat and hope in some sort of machine way that his strength is more superior than to hers.
The 800 quickly rises from the ground just as the woman enters the room through the hole he had just formed. The 800 then grabs an old bookshelf that was standing next to him and uses it as a blunt weapon to try and inflict damage and starts smashing it against her. After several strikes, the 800 doesn't succeed to no avail, the bookshelf just explodes into pieces against the woman's body, with her not even flinching.
The T-800 just tilts its head in confusion as the woman copies his expression and does the same. The woman catches the 800 off guard then proceeds to use her right foot and kicks the machine, sending it flying backwards and landing onto a desk, and crushing it with his own weight. The terminator grabs a hidden handgun that he acquired from one of the dead Resistance fighters he had killed not too long ago, and starts firing at the woman.
The bullets strike the woman's face but don't do much damage besides tear her skin sheath and reveal her endoskeleton underneath. At this point she is just getting annoyed by this T-800's desperate actions at trying to destroy her and decides that now is the time to end this.
She raises her right arm, as it turns silver and starts morphing into a plasma cannon. The woman charges the plasma weapon, takes aim, and fires a large blast of superheated plasma at the T-800 and blowing it to nothing but molten scrap. The woman smiles to herself thinking that she could have done better at destroying this machine but just got a little sloppy at this point. She is then rushed out of her thoughts when she hears the sounds of guns clicking behind her.
"What the hell are you?!" Victor says with venom and fear in his voice as he and Anthony aim their rifles at her, ready to fire if she decides to try anything. The woman raises her hands in surrender and turns to face the two men, with her arm transforming back to normal. "Answer me or so help me god, metal or not I will end you!" He then says in a more angry tone.
"Look I don't mean harm, you know I'm not human so there is no denying that I'm not." She says in a soft tone, trying not to startle these men. She could terminate them, but she didn't want to go down that road. She was different from other machines, she knew that much. Plus she could use these men to acquire her target, Wherever she may be.
"Do you have a name then?" Anthony asks her while shaking from nervousness. Victor just gives him a dirty look but focuses back onto the woman.
"Everyone calls me Veronica." She says while slowly lowering her arms, while Victor and Anthony reluctantly follow suit, and lower their weapons.
"Machines don't have names, so why are you here?" Victor then asks with some venom still in his voice. He didn't trust this machine in front of him, even if it was a beautiful girl; He knows what she truly is underneath that skin.
"Skynet sent someone here to kill John Connor." Veronica explains to the men. "I'm here to ensure his survival and stop this person."
"You said person, didn't you mean machine?" Victor asked while pulling some extra clothing from his travel bag and hands them to Veronica. She gladly accepts the offer and takes off Anthony's coat, throwing it back to him and starts putting on the clothing until she is fully dressed. Veronica was pretty short for a terminator. She had blonde hair, dark blue eyes and a very light complexion.
Veronica shakes her head, denying what Victor just said so she starts explaining who she is after. "Skynet thought that the only way to destroy humanity was to use humanity" Veronica said, continuing to explain everything to them. "Skynet created an I-950. She was based off of a DNA sample of John Connor."
"I-950? What the hell is that?" Anthony said in complete awe. He had no idea what that was but from what Veronica had just told them, it couldn't be good.
Veronica mentally kicks herself for not giving them an easier explanation. "Genetically enhanced human, she is a clone from Connor's DNA and goes by the same surname as well" Veronica says to both Anthony and Victor. Victor starts pacing back and forth, trying to process all of this. She could be lying to them but it doesn't seem so, she didn't have to keep him and Anthony alive and explain all of this to them. She could have tortured them for any information that they had on him and just kill them afterwards. Even though I hate metal as much as the next guy, she. No it. had to be telling us the truth. For now I will take her word and pray we don't die in our sleep, Victor thought to himself.
Anthony just swallows a lump down his throat but continues with the questions. "So what are you then, and what was the machine you just destroyed?" he says, using his head to point in the direction of the destroyed terminator.
"The one I just destroyed was a T series 800, model 101 terminator." Veronica says simply. "And I'm a reprogrammed T series 950, model 546 or T-950 for short" She then adds very ironically, considering her size isn't of normal terminators.
"This is crazy, The 700's are supposed to be the newest models that Skynet had developed!" Anthony said a little louder than needed.
"Well, by the looks of the molten terminator in the next room." Veronica says sarcastically while pointing to the downed and destroyed terminator. "Skynet is ahead of schedule than from my future."
"Your future!? Look met-- Veronica, forgive me but I have zero idea what the hell you're saying at this point." Victor says, finally speaking up after remaining quiet so far.
"I'll be happy to explain later." Veronica said while grabbing his rifle off the ground and inspecting it. "These weapons are useless against the 800's and other future models." she then adds, and tosses the rifle back to Victor. She walks over to where she first encountered the T-800 and picked up its plasma rifle.
"So what? We use plasma weapons?" Anthony said in confusion as he watches Veronica look over at giant plasma rifle that made her seem more smaller.
Veronica inspects the plasma weapon, while also completely ignoring Anthony's question. "Westinghouse M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle… Skynet in this timeline have advanced so much but yet so little." Veronica said before taking her eyes off the rifle and looks back a Victor and Anthony. "With the proper modifications, you should be able to use these as well as manufacturer your own." She then adds before handing it to Anthony.
"Anyway back to what you were saying about John Connor." Victor brings again.
"Yes. We need to find him before it's too late." Veronica then says, focusing her attention back onto Victor.
"The only person who knows of Connors location, is Commander Mathews." Anthony said, explaining to Veronica.
Victor nods in agreement. "If we take you to him… He might be able to help… as long as you don't kill him I mean." Victor then said while throwing his bag back over his shoulder. "Our base is about a day's hike from here. We should get moving." With that said, all three exit the office building and begin their journey back to base where they can find and help John Connor. At least they hope her intention is to help him that is. But little did Victor, Anthony and Veronica know, was that their new mission was much simpler than they had originally thought.
Crystal Peak, 2022: Resistance Base (Bunker Infirmary)
21 hours later:
"W-where am I?" The mysterious girl asks with confusion while she shifts her head and looks around the room that she is in.
"You're at Crystal Peak" Martin says, answering the girl's question. The girl still was confused, she didn't know what Crystal Peak was which wasn't a surprise.
John puts his hand on Martin's shoulder, signaling that he would go ahead and ask the questions. He then walks closer to the girl until he is at the foot of the bed that she is currently lying in. "What's your name?" John asks in a soft voice.
The girl tilts her head slightly, reacting to John's question. Maybe he should already know who she is? John thought to himself. He still didn't know a lot about his past so maybe he once knew this girl. The girl straightens her head back upright and begins to speak. "My name is Jane…" She said very quietly while staring into John's eyes. "Jane Connor."
Everybody inside of the room just stares at her in shock. No one was able to speak, they were at a loss for words and had no idea what to say next. Everybody then takes their attention away from the girl and onto John who was just as confused as they were.
"Uhh John? Why is her last name Connor?" Allison then asks, seeing that no one speaking still.
"I-I don't know…" John then answers with disbelief still written on his face and his mouth practically hanging open.
Jane looks at everybody just as confused as they were. "What the hell is going on here?!" She asks very loudly and very confused, then continues to speak. "Do you not know who I am?"
"No… should we?" Allison said still perplexed "Why do you have the same last name as him!?" Allison says pointing at John who still stood there in silence.
"I'm his daughter." Jane said, pointing to John with her finger as everyone inside just stared at both of them.
"John? You didn't tell me that you had a daughter…" Allison said a little disappointed. Was she already jealous of this girl?
"Because I don't" John said surprisingly calm and turns on his heels, walking out of the infirmary and disappearing into the corridor.
Allison sees that John is confused at this whole thing and follows him to see if she can help uncomplicate it for him. "I'll go talk to him." She then adds before rushing out of the infirmary.
Allison walks out into the corridor, looking both left and right down the hallway until she sees John sitting on an old couch, not too far away from the infirmary. He was staring at the ground and seemed to be deep in thought. She slowly makes her way to him and sits next to him but remains quiet for a brief moment. "Penny for thoughts?" Allison then says a minute later, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
John looks up from the ground and looks at Allison, with their eyes meeting before letting out a slight grin. "These last couple of days have just been crazy… that's all" John just said simply.
"Do you mean your old buddies saving us out of the blue? Or the fact that time travel exists and a girl who happens to have the same last name as you just appeared out of nowhere?" Allison said very sarcastically, trying to somewhat lighten up the mood a bit.
John laughs a bit at Allison's response and shakes his head. "Both actually. I thought it was pretty damn cool when Alex and Martin came out of nowhere like Han and Chewie." John said, reminiscing on old movies that he enjoyed as a child.
Allison looks at John perplexed "Han and Chewie?" She says with complete confusion on her face.
John laughs at Allison's response. She was born before Judgement day happened, but never really got to enjoy all the fun things that everybody once did. "It's from a movie… When we return to the pre-Judgement Day world, I'll show you" John says before resting his head on the wall behind him, and looking up at the ceiling.
"If we return that is." Allison said hopelessly after seeing that the TDE did in fact work, but is now just a pile of scrap.
"Have a little hope Allie." John says reassuringly while putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You saw the TDE right? That's something that can't just be fixed!" Allison then says frustrated. When she heard that she would have the chance to go to a world where the bombs didn't fall yet, she immediately jumped at the idea of stopping Skynet from the past before it was ever created. But now, to her that dream seemed gone forever.
"I know that Allie… but I may have a plan on how to change that." John said simply before he sees Alex exiting the infirmary with bandages on her face and back. She walks out into the corridor and sees both Allison and John sitting on the couch, and starts making her way towards them.
"Hey look who decided to join us" Allison said to Alex with a smile on her face. Alex returns the smile as she stands before them.
"Martin just brought me up to speed on everything that happened while I was out." Alex says before sitting on the floor, opposite from Allie and John. "She could be your daughter John."
"What makes you even think that? I never had a child." John said with confusion. "How would you even know anyway?"
"Well for starters, she definitely looks a lot like you" Alex said explaining to both John and Allie and continues, "She also has been talking nonstop about you."
"She's been talking about me?" John asks; Alex just nods.
"She just seemed hurt that you didn't know who she was." Alex then says in a sad tone.
"Has she said anything as to why she is here?" He then asks her but she just shakes her head, denying his question.
"She just keeps saying that she really wants to see you." Alex replies skeptically.
"Wait John? You told me that you traveled in time to here and lost your memories right?" Allison asked John. "Is it possible that you maybe don't remember her?"
John then shakes his head. "No. Considering I was only sixteen when I arrived here and wasn't involved in any relationships that I knew of." he stated matter of factly.
"So that only leaves one option" Alex says to both of them. "She's most likely from a more distant future than this one."
John nods at Alex's statement. "So she's my daughter from further in the future." John said in a calm tone. That had to be the only way right? but the real question was why was she here? John gets up from the couch and stands before speaking again. "Let's go talk to her and see if we can weed out more information." He then says before walking back to the infirmary with Allison and Alex quickly following behind.
John, Allison, and Alex re-enter the infirmary where Jane Connor is now fully dressed in simple fatigues that were from the bunker's storage and was sitting upright on the bed she was lying on with Kyle Reese sitting next to her, trying to make conversation but successfully getting mostly ignored.
Martin, and Doctor Williams were standing in the far left corner, speaking quietly to each other until they both notice the three enter. "There you are." Williams says with concern on her face as she slowly crutches her way to them before stopping in front of them.
"Is there anything wrong doc?" John asks her with a worried expression.
"Everything's fine general" She says, which brought relief to her face. "It's… your daughter that I'm concerned with." She then adds which surprisingly brings the worry back to him. "I did a physical on her and she appears to have suffered physical trauma to her lower ribcage and hip."
"Could it be from her coming through the TDE?" John then asked the doctor.
Williams just shrugs and starts to give speak. "Could be… but I may have a different theory." She then says before wincing in pain from her right leg. Martin quickly grabs a chair and places it being her, and allowing Williams to take a seat. "It may sound far fetched, but honestly what isn't at this point right?" She said, starting to explain to them the possibility of her injuries. "It's possible that the injuries were acquired from a fight."
"Ok so she was in a fight before she came back, so what's the big deal?" Allison then says, trying to somewhat engage in the conversation.
"But she couldn't have gotten her injuries without showing signs of severe bruising and maybe blood clotting." Doctor Williams answers simply which shot down Allison's snarky remark.
"So what are you saying Williams?" John then asks her while training his eyes on Jane who was sitting in the bed, staring at John intently and not taking her eyes off of him.
"I'm saying that her wounds are fresh… she should be showing signs of extreme pain, if not soreness." she says in a whisper to their little circle, trying not to have Jane hear their little meeting.
"So you're saying she's like a terminator or something?" Martin then said with a hint of uneasiness in his voice as he puts his hand on his handgun.
"No she isn't a terminator. I checked her vitals and everything." She then states which makes Martin a bit relieved, bit still kept his hand on the weapon, just in case.
"So we are at a dead end." Alex then says, speaking up after remaining silent after a brief moment.
"How about we just ask her?" Allison asks John directly. He nods, acknowledging that Allison's plan is the only shot they have.
They all walk over to where Jane and Kyle are at in the room and stare at them before John speaks up. "So why are you here Jane?" He then asks in a commanding tone.
The girl shows no emotion and just stares at John without making a move. Was she scared of him? Her expression seemed that of a teenage girl that didn't get her way and just pouted. "You sent me back here to give you information that could help the Resistance against Skynet in the future." She then said simply but in a monotone voice that didn't depict any emotion whatsoever.
Before John could open his mouth to speak again, Martin's radio that was his belt went off, interrupting their whole current situation. "Sir, we need you at the command center." A voice says over the radio.
Martin irritability grabs his radio to respond to the voice. "I'm kinda busy with something right now… can it wait?" he said.
There is a long pause before the voice speaks once again. "It's from.the scavenging group you sent out a month back. They have information that may be of interest."
Martin looks at John, which he nods in confirmation. Martin then walks out of the infirmary and out into the corridor to see what he is wanted for.
Crystal Peak, 2022: (Command Center)
Martin walks inside the bunker's command center where people are seen sitting at desks, typing into computers and surveillancing the area for Skynet activity. Martin stops in his tracks when he sees two of his best men, Victor and Anthony sitting on two foldable metal chairs. He walks up to the men while they stand before him, and saluting to their commanding officer.
"At ease men" Martin says with a smirk before reaching his hand out for both men to shake. They take his hand and give it a firm shake before letting go so they can continue their business. "So I was told you wanted to speak with me?" Victor just nods and before he was able to speak, Martin caught a glance at a blonde girl who was very short, walking towards them with a plasma rifle in hand. Martin notices the way she walks and the expressionless mask on her face. She was a machine! Martin grabs his Glock 17 out of his thigh holster and aims it at the machine that is approaching them. "METAL!"
Everybody soldier inside the command center grabs their weapons and aims at Veronica, ready to fire at will. Veronica stops dead in her tracks and tilts her head in confusion. She looks around the whole room and sees all the various rifles and sidearms trained on her. She knows that the firearms won't do much damage to her but decides to play along for now and drops her plasma rifle to the ground, kicking it off too the side and raising her arms in surrender. Veronica's had to do this twice already and was getting pretty tired of doing so.
"Relax! She's on our side Martin!" Victor says while jumping in front of Veronica, and Blocking Martin's line of sight from the machine. Victor never thought that in in a million years, he would be jumping up to defend a machine. But he had a strange feeling for the cyborg behind him. He could tell it. No. She was different.
"Out of the way Victor!" Martin says with anger and determination to take out the machine standing behind his friend. "You know metal can't be trusted!"
"I don't mean har--" Veronica was about to say before rudely getting interrupted by Martin.
"Shut the hell up machine!" Martin said a little louder than needed. "What are you here for huh? Kill John Connor or just destroy the Resistance in general?" He than said, looking over Victor's shoulder.
"Martin, if it weren't for her, me and Anthony would be dead!." Victor said, trying to defend the machine. "How did you even know she was a machine in the first place huh?" he then said with curiosity.
"You know she could be lying to you right!?" Martin says with venom in his voice. "I've seen machines like these that look human and even mimic human emotions to get to their target!"
"She is different from others!" Anthony then says, raising his Colt AR-15 assault rifle at Martin's head.
Martin turns his head slightly to the right and sees the betrayal that his friends are siding with the metal. "It's got you wrapped around your little finger! You of all people; Victor should know that metal shouldn't be trusted!" He says in a full on shout which makes everyone inside the room flinch slightly.
"Don't forget I know what your sister is Martin! So don't give me that bullshit!" Victor then says in a whisper that only they could hear.
Martin reluctantly lowers his gun and orders every soldier to do the same. He stares at Veronica for a long moment before he begins to speak again. "Why the hell are you here?" he says with some venom still lingering in his voice but managed to calm himself down a bit.
"I need to find John Connor." She states simply. Martin just scoffs at her response.
"Figured as much. Why?" Martin asks her with curiosity. He always knew the reason why a machine was looking for him. It was to kill him and prevent him from defeating Skynet.
"I'm tracking down someone that plans to assassinate him. I need to reach John before they get to him." Veronica says, explaining the situation to him. He most likely wouldn't believe it but she had to try and convince him.
"Someone?" Martin said in a soft and confusing tone.
"Skynet sent a Genetically Enhanced human to kill him." She says but frowns when she sees that the man in front of him is at a loss of words and with his eyes widening.
"I-950?" He asked, dreading the upcoming answer. Martin had encountered one once back in his timeline that went by the name of Serena Burns. She was literally twelve seconds away from killing John Connor but her cover was immediately blown when he found out that a bomb was being carried inside of her.
Veronica nods but also tilts her head slightly at his words. "How did you know it was an I-950?"
Martin stares with eyes widen at the revelation of who is in the infirmary, with the one and only John Connor. "Because she's here" Martin said fearfully while gritting his teeth as he rushes past them and to a gun locker that is located near the entrance of the command center. He grabs an MK-12 assault rifle and pops a fresh magazine into it. He turns on his heels and looks at Veronica, "We need to hurry!" He shouts out at the top of his lungs before rushing out of the command center and out into the corridor With Veronica, and Victor quickly following behind him.
Veronica, Victor and Martin sprint down the now empty corridor of the Crystal Peak Bunker, trying to reach the bunker infirmary before it was too late. They make a series of left and right turns before they finally approach the closed door of the infirmary. Martin turns to look at the machine known as Veronica and speaks. "Do you think she might of killed them already?" He asks very quietly but with fear clearly written on his face.
"My sensors are picking up a lot of heat signatures inside… she must still be infiltrating to gain Connors trust before terminating him." She also says very quietly.
"So do you have a plan? Or are we gonna go inside, spraying and praying?" He then asks sarcastically to the machine, also knowing it wouldn't affect her much.
"Don't be stupid. If we do that, we risk John Connor's life." She said on a very serious tone which confused Martin even more so.
"Ok so on three we enter and take her my surprise?." Martin suggests.
"Yes. On three we enter and hopefully I will have a good shot to terminate her." She said, accepting Martin's plan. It was still a risky plan, but they didn't really have much of a choice.
"One… two… Three!" Martin mouths in silence until he yells out three and both open the door immediately, with it swinging open and them entering the room with their guns raised, and ready to fire at the Skynet agent.
John notices the door open very quickly and draws is SIG P226 Sauer and aims at the people entering in defence. He then lowers his weapon when he sees Martin enter with a rifle, but stares in confusion when he sees that he, a soldier and some girl he has never seen before take aim at Jane. "What's going on?" he asks.
Before anybody could react, Jane Connor leaps off the bed, and grabs John's handgun out of his hand and then grabs Allison by surprise, holding her hostage, with the gun aimed at her temple. Her cover was blown and she had to come up with a plan to terminate her target. And she saw how close John Connor was to the younger girl.
"John get the hell out of here!" Martin shouts across the room at the general while keeping Jane and Allison in his sights. "Do you have a clear shot?" He then asks Veronica but doesn't move his head in her direction.
"Negative. I can't risk terminating her without harming the young girl." She says in her monotone voice. She was too busy trying to assess possible situations that would be least likely to cause any casualties.
"Guess you found me quicker than I thought." Jane says with a small laugh.
"Jane what the hell are you doing?" John asks her with confusion and a bit of fear at the fact that her supposed daughter is aiming his gun at his daughter.
"I knew you were a bitch the moment I saw you" Allison says humorously but gets cut off when Jane holds her tight around the neck with her arms, and slightly choking her.
Kyle Reese stands in front John, trying to defend him if Jane Connor were to use his gun to shoot him. "Put the gun down!" He then says with anger boiling inside him. He felt helpless that he didn't have his weapon to defend Allison. John moves around Kyle and starts slowly walking towards Jane with his arms in the air to show that he wasn't planning on trying anything, until gets within a couple of feet of her and Allison.
"Or what? You'll ground me?" She says in a mocking tone.
Jane Connor seizes the opportunity that her target is out in the open and decides that now is the time to eliminate him and use the girl as a body shield if everyone else decided to shoot at her. She quickly jerks the gun from Allison's head and raises it at John, takes aim between his eyes, and fires.
Author's Note: The story is nearing it's close sadly. So there will be another small time jump within the next couple of chapters. But I'm not giving up yet! This story will be finished and there will be a part two to the story. So for those who do enjoy my work, there will be plenty in the future :)
Reviews are appreciated!
