Jess's blood ran cold as she numbly stepped forward. Her heart raced to a speed pf a hundred beats per minute.
Suddenly her legs unfroze and she broke into a fear filled dash to the corps.
"Mom!" Jess screamed and cried over the woman's body. Vigorously she dug her fingers into the skin of her mother and shook her.
"No, no, no, No, NO, NO! NO!" She hollered and beat her fists on her. Blood dripped off her wrists and fingertips. Jess began crying hysterically, for her father's body was nailed to the ceiling with hundreds of senbon.
"Heh, …heh heh heh hehe heh heh!" Came a cold laugh. In horror Jess stared up at her father's body. He had an evil smile spread across his thin lips. Slowly her father's body changed to a different person. It was a man in a black robe with pale skin. Skull tattoos inked up his arms.
"W-w-what------?" Jess stammered with a sick feeling in her stomach.
"The look on your face was priceless. Too bad I have to tear it to ribbons!" Another man sneered. He was ghost like as well. He was thin as paper and looked like it too with his long white robe with bulky chains dangling from the cuffs.
"How could I be so foolish to fall for a trick from you two?" Jess snarled and reached for the shuriken in her hip belt pocket. She then came to an unpleasant realization; there were no weapons in any of her pouches.
"Looking for these? " The white robed man laughed and twirled the shuriken on one finger.
" Now I'm really screwed." She thought as both me drew out their swords. In a blur of motion Jess did a front-hand-spring and elbowed the white robed man in the ribs. However, he showed no sign of pain so he grabbed hold of her left ankle and broke it with a slight movement of his wrist.
"Gah!" She screamed out as the pain surged throughout her leg. The white robed man restrained her as the other man approached her with deadly intentions. He put the blade to her neck and barely slit the skin, like a paper cut. Then he slammed his fist into her stomach so hard she couldn't puke, yet.
Suddenly sand burst into the room and held the attackers in a deadly grip.
"Wha-----?" They exclaimed in bewilderment.
This was Gaara's doing. Jess was slumped over against the wall, still conscious. Hatred filled his face as he crushed the men with his sand. However, no blood was spilled, strangely.
Gaara then turned to Jess.
'Why do I keep running into this girl?' he thought angrily. He noticed her headband and the bandage on her neck, which was over-flowing with blood now.
"You're really aggravating me…" Gaara growled. Jess's eyes stirred as she heard his voice.
"…Its not like I wanted this… you saving me and all." She whispered. Her headband fell over her eyes now.
Gaara let his sand slowly lift Jess up. However, he pinned her to the wall with intense force. Pain filled her face as he got in hers.
"I want answers. What have you done to be attacked so often, or is it just a coincidence? " He hissed. Jess gave up and decided to spill the beans.
"… Simply my father stole merchandise from their organization awhile back. Ole' pops actually turned up missing not to long ago. They want their merchandise back and so they keep tormenting me for answers. Now, what're you doing here anyways Gaara?" she said bitterly and got back in his face without fear. He glared at her then spoke.
"I saw two men sneak into a home window and so I decided to investigate. After all I am to be kasekage soon."
"Let me down now. I'm in pain." Jess said with her head hung. He let her loose and the sand slid back into his gourd. Jess fixed her headband and steadied her broken ankle with a piece of cloth off her shirt.
