Chapter 4, The Test

When I finally made it back Jacob was irritated when I showed up that the first words were, "Where the crap where you!" So I shushed him and said, "Be quite." Then he said irritated by quite, "Ok, Who is that?" I replied, "Someone I just met. Is the tent up." Jacob replied, "Over there but you didn't answer my question." I ignored him for a second and put her down softly into the tent right over a sleeping bag Jacob had. So when I got out he said, "Now answer my question." So I said, "Her name is Sapphire. I saved her from some Overlanders jerks that forced her into extremely hard labor." Jacob then said, "Well then if she can do that than a little test should be easy." So I said, "Glad you say that because you're the one that's doing it." So Jacob replied, "I'm going to push her you know." So I replied, "Good. Go right ahead. Once she wakes." Then Jacob then asked, "Are you planning something." So I reply, "No, I just have a theory and if its right the well then sweet, if I am wrong then you have nothing to worry about." Jacob then said, "Bull you're up to something." There was a wrestling in the tent and she is getting up. So Robert gets out of Sight and she comes out to see Jacob. I could hear Jacob say, "I'm going to regret this aren't I." When she comes up to him Jacob gives her a blank stare. Sapphire asked, "Something wrong?" Jacob replied, "Robert put me into some kind of charity case. Are you even that useful?" Sapphire replied, "Yeah. I can." Jacob said, "Prove it." Jacob pushed her over. Tears started to fall and then she stands and says, "Ok. I'll prove it." Out of no ware a chain comes up from the ground and slaps Jacob right across his face. That's when I knew I had to intervene. So I ran up and give the girl a hug. And knottiest she grew a bit, physically and mentally. Jacob did just what I expected. And when I looked over at Jacob there was a big red mark on the side of his face. So I said, "Dang. Better than I thought she would be." Jacob then asked, "Can I finish my test? I replied, "No need. I looked at what happened and I could tell. She would win. Her chains have the same property as my blades, Energy draining. You would both be exhausted it you fought. So I see no reason to continue." Jacob then replied, "Oh fine." I led her back over to the tent and said, "Get some sleep. We are going to leave in the morning." Sapphire then replies, "Ok." As I exited the tent I said, "Luckily you can me are used to sleeping outside." Jacob asked, "How do think I sleep? So I asked, "Where did you find the tent and sleeping bag." Jacob replied, "Stole it from a lab that I was experimented on." I asked, "Was the name of that lab, Richardson's testing facility." Jacob replied, "Yeah. How did you know?" I replied, "Don't know. Just had a nagging feeling. Well let's get some sleep." Jacob jumped into a tree and Robert sat up agents a different tree and fell asleep.
