Chapter 7: Misty Island . . . AGAIN.

Misty Island looked scarier than it had last time. When the speed boat that we'd borrowed from the fisherman bumped the shore, Daxter started voicing just about every fear I had.

"Jak? Why are we coming back here? I really don't feel like falling into another pit! Really. Jak? It looks Scarier. More foreboding. Maddy! Tell him!" I just shook my head and walked pointedly forward.

I still wasn't over my little tiff with Jak that he didn't even know we had. I couldn't even bring myself up enough to talk to him. He just thought I was scared or reluctant. I constantly had his thoughts in my head saying things like 'What's wrong,' and 'are you Ok' and 'Are you sure you still want to go.' I ignored it all until one time he said 'Can you still . . . hear . . . me?' He asked in a small voice. His voice was so innocent, so full of fear that his one connection to talking would be gone that I had to answer. He sounded as close to crying as Jak Mar would ever be. I couldn't be the one inflicting that sort of panic on him.

I sighed and said, 'Yes Jak, I can still hear you.' I could practically hear him sigh through my head.

O.o.O

"Look, guys, it's the Zoomer." I pointed towards it after we had collected almost all the other power cells on the island.

I saw a devilish glint in Jak's eyes before he hopped on. I slowly got on behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist so I could stay on. The second my wrists were locked he took off and I realized one thing; Jak was a speed devil. You could tell from the twinkle he got in his eyes, the happy laughing he gave off as he drove. I clung on for dear life, as we killed Lurkers and picked up some Power Cells and scout flies.

When we got off I felt very windswept, and touched my hair, wondering how it looked.

Suddenly I heard Jak's voice in my head saying, 'It looks beautiful.' I couldn't detect the smallest hint of sarcasm, so I blushed and nervously said, "Let's go and find the Silo."

We encountered a couple Lurkers before we found the spot we wanted: The Pirate Ship. Climbing up the ship, we started playing something similar to Donkey Kong, except it was in real life.

I was still distracted when we did this, so I almost got hit by a log. Jak threw himself to me, pushing us both out of the way, and onto a side ledge that was luckily there. I didn't even need his voice, which was yelling at me in my head, to tell me how stupid I had been. I needed to get over this, fast.

I let out a quick 'sorry' receiving a glare from Jak for not even thanking him, and we kept going. I stopped my mind from wandering every time it tried to. I didn't want to disappoint Jak again. Reaching the top, I quickly took out the two Lurkers waiting there, while Jak shot the canon down toward the Lurkers in the Arena.

While Jak and Daxter were listening to Samos on the communicator, I was leaning against the feeble fencing that was the only thing stopping me from falling into the arena, just thinking.

I had to find a way to fix things with Jak. I knew apologizing wouldn't do the trick; I had to think of something better. 'Oh, Jak! I'm sorry. It was pointless to act like I am, and now you're mad at me.' I practically yelled in my head, totally forgetting he could here it if he wanted too.

Jak's head whipped towards mine, and I could feel his eyes trying to draw mine to his, but I refused to open them. 'Maddy, you tell me what's wrong. Please. Or I will figure it out for myself. I'm sure I'll be able to look through your head if I tried.'

Surprisingly, I could actually feel him digging through my brain, sorting through my thoughts. Not knowing what to do, and not wanting him to know my true feelings. I put my hands over my head, and backed up, forgetting the arena that lay 20 yards below me. But he had found it. In my head, he heard the memory of me thinking of how I was falling for Jak. It didn't get any farther though, it was cut short. Just 'I think I'm falling for Jak.'

And then I was falling.

I could hear Daxter yell "Maddy" and the same for Jak, but in my head. I could feel the air whooshing past me, as if in slow motion, guiding my fall to the ground.

When I hit the ground, I heard it before I felt it, even when I did feel it, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Being a video game character does that to you. Whereas in my life I would have broken every bone in my body, I didn't break any bones. I may have gotten a bruise or a couple scratches but that was it.

But it didn't stop Jak from over reacting. He gracefully jumped down, with Daxter on his shoulder, and landed next to me. The only thing I could say while I was still winded was, "Turn around" In a very faint voice.

When he did, he saw the ambush approaching. He yelled and rushed forward. I was reminded of him as Dark Jak, and I automatically got scared. Not of the ambush, but of him.

That was the last thing I saw before I blacked out; the shock of it all was too much for me.

O.o.O

"Maddy! No, please don't die. You're going to live! We'll live happily ever after! Like in the fairy tales! Just don't die. Please. For me! Maddy. I love you, Maddy; please wake up!" Begged a voice I'd been hearing quite a lot lately, except now it wasn't in my head. It was out. Jak was talking, like in Jak II and III. Maybe I was having a premonition.

"Jak! I'm sorry, leave her. She will be greatly missed. But you said it yourself: 'everyone's expendable.'" Said a gruff voice; Torn. This must be set in Jak II or III, how else would Torn be there.

"I wasn't talking about her! She's the farthest thing from expendable. She dies and we all die!" Jak yelled at Torn. Suddenly I felt a calloused hand stroking my face, "Maddy, honey, please wake up. For me? Please? We all need you." Jak cooed at me.

"Jak, she's gone." Said a girl's voice; Kiera's this time. "Leave her. You don't need her; you have me." I was seething. My eyes were going to open. Kiera could not have Jak; not when it seemed like I was the one who got him.

My eyelids slowly fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was Kiera kissing Jak. "No!" I yelled. I still didn't get him. 'That slut!' I kept thinking, even though I didn't even know what was happening except that Jak had just said he loved me not but a minute ago and now here he was, kissing Kiera. 'That Thieving Whore! How could she?'

"Maddy! You're alive!" Jak said, whilst quickly pushing Kiera away. But this wasn't Jak; this was a new Jak. He looked scarier; I didn't want this to be my image of him. Scary Jak with darker blond hair and Indigo eyes filled with hatred and pain.

Jak quickly came over and gave me a hug, and I pushed him back. "I saw that." I growled, my voice full of unnecessary pain. This wasn't my time. This was just a dream. 'Than why does it feel so real?' I couldn't help but ask myself.

He looked back at me with hurt in his eyes. "She came at me." I looked over at Kiera. She looked happy, gleeful even; that little b*tch. 'What happened to me? Since when do I cuss?' I felt like covering my mouth.

Jak slowly started backing away, and he walked right into a metalhead none of us had noticed; it was hiding behind a wall, it looked like we were in the pumping station, waiting for the right moment. When we were all distracted. I positioned its teeth right on the inside of his neck as we all stared in horror; none of us could move. Then the monster bit straight down and I heard a crack.

"JAK!" I yelled out, just before I woke up.
