Teenage Assassins kickin it Version Chapter 4
All I saw was darkness, and I could've sworn all the deaths I've witnessed flashed before my eyes. Innocent people caught in the crossfire of Terrorist vs. Assassasin, or Assassasin vs. Assassasin, or just the killings of business leaders that were at the top of every hit list, and one death that has haunted me since I was eight.
Then my adoptive parents, and my birth parents, I was adopted into the assassin, technically.
I also have a photographic memory, once I see something; I can't forget it, even if I try.
So everything I've been through became a nightmare.
"Kimmy, Kim wake up."
My eyes fluttered open, and I saw Jack leaning over me.
"No, I don't want to go." I muttered.
"Come on." He said, while pulling me by my arms.
"Go; take a shower, so I can wrap your stomach in gauges." He said.
I quickly took a shower, and put on a tank top, and jeans, and I lifted it above my stomach, under my ribs, he wrapped the gauges around my stomach.
"Thanks," I said, while pulling the shirt down the rest of the way, and putting on my navy blue v-neck.
"Good morning you two." Aunt Di said.
"G'morning." I replied.
"So what do you usually eat for breakfast?" She asked.
"Oatmeal, but it was never good." Jack explained.
"Well I made breakfast." She said.
It were the most delicious thing I've ever eaten, homemade chocolate chip pancakes.
"When you're done, I'll drive you two to school." She said.
We nodded, because our mouths were full of pancakes.
Afterwards I brushed my teeth, and raced down the stairs.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm ready for the pressures of the 11th grade."I replied.
We got into the car, and drove to school.
While we were in the car, Aunt Diana was listening to the news.
"Breaking News, there have been numerous deaths appearing around the state of Florida, the killer leaves no evidence, but leaves an M in their blood."
"Do you think?"
"It can't be, she's dead."
I closed my eyes, and a flashback occurred.
' "Hi, I'm Kim, what's your name?" I asked, a boy with messy brown hair.
"Jack." He replied. "Nice to meet you." I said.
He smiled, I felt a pair of angry eyes staring me down, I looked to my right, to see a girl with dark brown hair, staring at me with anger and jealousy. She walked off.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Monica, she's kind of crazy, don't do anything to make her mad." He warned. I nodded.
Afterwards, I was walking back to my clan by myself; someone tackled me to the ground.
"Hey, you're that new girl Kim, right? Stay away from Jack, he's mine."
"What are you talking about, he's my friend, if I do that I'll hurt his feelings." I whined.
"Feelings? Assassins aren't supposed to have feelings; I guess I'll kill you, so you can see if you would still have any feelings left in you." She said. She grabbed her sword, and missed me nearly by an inch. We were fighting, she had me on the ground, she lunged towards me, I pushed off with my feet on her stomach, which caused her to fall over the cliff, I quickly retaliated, and grabbed her arms, and tried to pull her up. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall." I said. But she let go of my arms. "NO!" I yelled.
I sat at that cliff, my body beaten and bruised, a couple from the Tanaka clan, came and saw me, my face was wet from tears falling down my face, because I wasn't able to save her, and because of the physical pain. "Hey, what happened?" they asked.
"I-I couldn't save her, I tried to, but I couldn't." I said, between sobs.
"Save who?"
"Monica." I replied.'
"Kim, we're here." Jack said.
We got out of the car, and walked inside.
"Hi, welcome to Jackson High School, you must Kim and Jack. Here are your schedules." The welcoming committee said, and handed us our schedules. We had the same classes, which was convenient.
"Hi, I'm Donna." She seemed nice, but I was getting this really bad vibe from her, I looked over to her, and realized she was batting her eyes at Jack. She looked familiar, everything reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. She is NOT hitting in him, so what if I'm jealous.
"So, you two related?" she asked.
"No, he's my best friend." I replied.
Her eyes showed fury, and disappointment. "Oh well see you later." She said walking away.
"What was that?" Jack asked.
"She was totally hitting on you, gosh sometimes you can be so oblivious." I said.
"Are you jealous?" he asked, with a smirk on his face.
I felt my cheeks turn beet red.
"I-I am not jealous." I replied.
"Sure you aren't." he said.
"Whatever."
We walked to homeroom, Mrs. Bradford.
"Class, we have two new students today, Kim Crawford, and Jack Anderson, be nice." She warned. We made our way to our seats in the back. The teacher began her lessons on algorithms. We had to change our names, so i used Aunt Diana's name.
~Psst.~
I looked to my left to see a note being passed to me.
"Here, it's from him." A girl said, pointing to a brunette in the far corner.
~Hey, I'm Brody, you're really pretty. ~
Oh God, I can't believe how forward these guys are.
I sort of scanned the note, maybe to see a secret message, but I got nothing, just a regular note.
~Um, thank you.~ I threw the note back to him.
~Uh, so well, do you want to go out sometime? ~
Seriously, I just got here.
~ Um, well I can't, you're seem nice, but I kind of like someone else, sorry. :/ ~ I wrote back.
~Oh…~
Mrs. Bradford passed out the worksheets, I took one look at the board, soaked in all the information, and finished my worksheet. I raised my hand, and so did Jack.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I'm done."
Yes, Jack?"
"I'm done too."
Everybody stared at us, as we walked up to the front to turn in the paper.
Afterwards, I sat t here watching everyone do their work, and it was so boring, this is why I'm not in school.
~RIIING~
Finally class is over, but school isn't. Why!?
Jack caught up with me in the hallway.
"Hey" he said.
"Oh, hey."
"So, I saw you passing notes with that Brody guy."
"Oh, it was nothing, but he asked me out." I said. Jack looked so heartbroken.
"But I said no." he looked a lot happier.
"Oh, why?" he asked.
"Because, I have someone else in mind." I said looking straight into his chocolate brown orbs.
He gulped.
~RIIING~
"Crap!" I whispered. I grabbed his hand, and we ran to our next class.
I opened the door, and a few girls had wide eyes, while others just smiled or smirked at us. The guys on the other hand, were staring angrily at Jack. I realized I was still holding his hand, I was about to let go, but he held my hand tighter. I felt the blush creeping onto my face.
The teacher introduced us to the class. I sat by a girl, Dark hair, brown eyes
"So, are You and Jack dating?"
"N-no, we're not dating." I said, while my face turns red.
"But you like him, and he likes you." She said.
"What? Pshh, no he doesn't like me." I said.
"Yes he does, in the beginning of class, you were holding hands, and when you were about to let go, he held on tighter."
I stayed silent. I looked to my left, and a guy just shrugged his shoulders.
"Grace." She said, putting out her hand.
"Kim." I replied, shaking her hand slowly.
"You so like him." She said smirking at me.
"It's okay, you're not the only one who has a crush on their best friend."
"Oh? So, who's your crush?" I asked.
"Jerry." She admitted, blushing.
I looked over to Jerry, while he was doing his work.
He looked up, I smiled, he looked really confused, so I pointed to Grace, and mouthed ' Do you like her?'
He started to blush, and shook his head ferociously.
'Liar!' I mouthed.
'It's not like she likes me back.' He assumed.
'You don't know that.' I mouthed back.
Jack looked slightly confused.
The teacher was going on, and on, how they didn't do enough work, and all that mamma jamma. She literally complained for an hour and a half.
Once again, I don't do school.
She finally stop talking, she was about to say something, but the bell interrupted her.
After class, I was walking through the cafeteria, my instincts were on haywire, anything could happen, a food fight, an assassin comes and stabs me in the ear, I know it's strange, but it could happen. I saw a shadow behind me crouched down, I freaked out so I quickly turned around, and put my hand on his neck, and stomach, and flipped them. i realized it was just creep, trying to grab my butt.
A crowd began to form; Jack quickly pushed me away from the crowd.
"Calm down." He said.
I nodded. I sat by Grace.
"What was that?"
"Oh, since I took karate for nine years, my instincts were sort of out there." I explained.
"Did you meet Jack in karate?" she asked.
Jack and I nodded. Well it wasn't a complete lie. We were Black- belts.
"You're not eating?" Grace asked.
"Nope." I replied.
I was used to it, sometimes we went out on missions that lasted weeks, and most of the time, and there was never time to eat. "Well, we have one class left, since it's a half day." Grace explained. We sat there in silence for the rest of lunch.
Then during our last class, the teacher just let us talk.
~RIING~ Yes! I'm finally getting out of this prison.
Jack and I decided to take the bus home, what a big mistake that was.
"So, Kim…would you mind if I went out with Jack?" Donna asked.
"Uhh, no, but it's not my decision."
"Kimmy, you do know you're not pretty enough for him, or anyone actually."
I really just want to choke her right now.
"Actually, Kim's not just pretty, she's beautiful, any guy, would be lucky to have her, but she's mine." Jack said.
Even though he was just saying that, my face was so red.
Donna looked so mad; she quickly turned around in her seat.
"Thanks."
"No problem." He replied.
I was still out of it, thinking about what he said, while my heart pounded, may I mention loudly in my chest.
"Kim?" Jack asked.
"Huh?"
"We're here." He said, looking at me like I was from Mars.
"Oh." I replied.
We got off the bus, and walked into my Aunt Diana's house.
"Oh good, you're , can you drive?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Good, can you please go to the grocery store for me?" she asked.
"Sure." I said. She smiled at me, and handed me a list, and 40 bucks, with the car keys.
"Jack, you come with me, because I'm going to have a few things, so you can do the heavy lifting." Aunt Diana said, she walked out, and into the other car.
"I meant what I said on the bus, you're mine." Jack said, he winked at me, and left.
I just stood there, blushing, and smiling like an idiot.
'Pull yourself together, Kim!' I thought to myself.
I got into the car and drove to the local Publix.
Since I've never actually been in a Publix before, I got really lost, which is really embarrassing. I went up to the cash register, the cashier looked really familiar, I looked at his name tag, it said 'Eddie' i looked down at his wrist, and saw the tattoo. 'Are you kidding me?' I paid him the money, and left making it seem like I never saw his tattoo. I put the groceries into the trunk; I started the car, and made my way out of the parking lot.
Red light. My phone started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kim, how's the shopping going?" Aunt Di asked.
"Good, uh can I talk to Jack?" I asked.
"Mhmm, Jack, she wants to talk to you, oh stop blushing." She teased. I rolled my eyes at how she was always teasing us.
"Hey Kimmy."
i rolled my eyes. "So, you guys done?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're about to drive back now."
Green light. I started to drive into through the intersection, all of a sudden a car crashed into me from the front.
"Kimmy? You okay, what happened?" Blake asked.
"Nothing, just an acciden-" I was interrupted from a car hitting me from behind. I cursed under my breath.
"Kim?" Jack asked.
All of a sudden, the car flipped over, and a piece of the windshield got into my arm, which made it go limp. "Yes, she's dead, alright bye."
Those bastards are trying to kill me. Once he hung up the phone, I crawled out the window.
"Impossible, no normal person would survive that." He said. he seemed scrawny, he was a red head, i knew exactly who it was ' Milton'. he's probably doing this against his will, since he hated the assassin life as much as i did.
"Who said I was normal?" I asked.
