Okay, here's the second chapter! Sorry about taking so long... ^-^"" Nyeh. Enjoy!
(Still not too much reference to Death Note in this one, sorry, but just in case...: I don't own Death Note...Or any of the characters.
It feels weird doing that. Oh well, guess I'll get used to it, nyeh?)

The strong winds accompanied her to her last break-in, drowning out the noise of her pained and impatient stomach. If this goes wrong, Kira could kill her. Her mind spun slightly at the thought of that but she forced the thought away. Jet, the ruthless 16 year old criminal, did not get scared. The smirk that crept to her dry lips was inevitable as she flattered herself yet again, trying to ignore the irony in these thoughts. Times were hard for her, all her criminal companions dead or on the run, some even already in prison. News on Kira dominated the televisions everywhere she looked and the knowledge that she could easily be next had promptly put her on rations.

So that night as she neared the closed corner shop, the police dotted around the mouths of every street but not venturing into the almost safe alleyways, her head was filled with the whirring cogs. Again, she pushed her thoughts away, purposefully breaking her own reverie. She was trying to be casual, strolling past the many police officers and ending up in front of the slightly stained glass window of the store, advertisements and products with offers being displayed.

Nothing could hold back the slight pang of guilt she felt as she stood inside the shop, filling a small paper bag with the minimum amount of food that would be substantial for a week or so. She knew after this break-in, she would have to move on. A long, drawn out sigh rolled from her chest and she hung her head in defeat, wishing the ground would swallow her up.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, something caught her eye. Outside the window. A light. Shivers coursed through her as her temporarily swimming vision cleared. A police officer stood outside the shop, staring in at her, looking faintly shocked before reacting. With a hiss of mingled fear and anger, Jet was already out on the damp cobbles, racing away.

She was far away but whenever she strained her ears over the heavy thumping of her heart and her deep, gasping breaths, over the smacking of her sore feet on the cobbles and her protesting stomach, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps pounding behind her. She was going to get caught, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Chancing a quick glance behind her, she changed tactics and swerved out onto the upcoming highway which she had initially been going to avoid in case of police cars. It had looked clear on her approach but as she skidded slightly on the loose gravel her body was illuminated with bright lights and she screamed, flying through the air as the front wheel connected with her side.

She flew through the air as all sound died in her ears, leaving a bare ringing, beginning to fall like an unwanted ragdoll, a butterfly being pushed around with the wind. A dove with a broken wing. She connected with the ground head first and the last thing she felt was a throbbing pain before a veil of bright white covered her eyes.

Wooh, yeah, it's pretty short. But I've got everything alllll planned out! I'll be trying to get down the next chapter soon seeing as school's been cancelled tomorrow due to snow. So, I'll see if I can update again tomorrow/tonight.
See y'all!
