Hello everyone. I hoped you liked my last chapter. Thanks for the reviews. Just gonna answer a question real quick: To Curious reader, The White Shadow is a spy agent that was sent to stalk Huey in the 1st season, episodes "The Real," and "It's Goin Down". Huey tried to tell Granddad and Riley about him but they didn't believe him. Huey just decided it was his imagination, but no matter how hard he tried to believe it, he kept showing up. So here's chapter 15. DON'T OWN BOONDOCKS! Here we go!
Jazmine's eyes shot open as she sat up in the bed. She looked around quickly gasping as she did. She looked down at Huey laying down beside her. She sighed and laid back down next to him. When she nuzzled back into his arms and relaxed, she heard Shadow's voice again.
"You sure?" he asked.
This time Jazmine sat up even quicker. When she looked at the head of the bed, Shadow stepped out of the dark corner of the room and into the light that was allowed by the curtains hanging from the window. Jazmine covered herself with the sheets.
"Do I look like 'nothing'?" he said softly walking up to the foot of the bed.
"Stay back," Jazmine said strongly but softly enough to not wake Huey up.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of 'nothing' Jazmine," Shadow taunted still walking up to her. Jazmine tightened her grip around the sheets shielding her.
"I'm not. Because you ARE nothing," Jazmine retorted. With that Shadow floated over to her and took hold of her neck, pushing her back on the bed. Jazmine choked and tried removing his grip but was unsuccessful.
"Does this feel like nothing?" he asked knowingly, while tightening his grip. Jazmine gasped and gagged, her legs shifting and pounding the bed. "In 10 minutes you WILL meet me up at the hill and we shall talk," he stated. "If not," he tightened his grip even tighter. Jazmine squeaked and gagged harder. "Understand?" Jazmine nodded, on the verge of tears.
Then all of a sudden, when the curtains flowed removing the light for a second and revealing it again, he was gone. Jazmine took in a huge breath, coughing and hacking as she regained her oxygen. She massaged her throat. She looked over at Huey who was still sound asleep. She crawled over to his side of the bed and rested her cheek on his shoulder. Her eyes watered as she rose her head and kissed him on the cheek. Her tear fell on his cheek as she shifted her lips to his, kissing him softly.
She then got up off the bed and got dressed. She pulled her hair up and slipped on her shoes. When she was completely dressed, she walked to the bed, and looked under it, pulling out Huey's sword. She pulled it out of its case only to see her eyes looking back at her on the spotless, shining metal. Something was changing in her eyes. They used to be a light and innocent green. But now, they were getting a tad darker, as if she saw the world differently. Looking into that sword, she saw that her eyes' reflection glared at her. Jazmine pushed the sword back into the case in shock. She shook the image out of her head as she strapped the sword around her back. She walked to the door and opened it, but looked back to see Huey still sleeping. She sighed and turned back around and walked through the door, closing it behind her silently.
Jazmine walked up the big hill not knowing what awaited her. As the tree that stood on the top of the hill got bigger and bigger, so did the memories of all the times Huey had hurt her feelings on that hill. He told her that he didn't trust anyone, not even her. He had told her there was no tooth fairy, that she was so dumb and naïve, and that she didn't have any friends. Jazmine shook the memories out of her head. All that didn't matter anymore. They were together now and all those things he said to her when they were younger were nothing. He loved her with his heart and soul. She just had to keep reminding herself that. But how much longer could she?
When she reached the top, no one was there. She walked around the tree and back again. She looked over the city below her. Orange and yellow lights mixed with the moonlight's aura.
"Beautiful isn't it," Shadow said beside her. In one swift motion, Jazmine removed the sword below her and swiped it at his side, only to be met with the sound of metal. Shadow had blocked her attack with a sword of his own. The blade wasn't silver, but it was black, and engraved with silver in the shape of a dragon. The sword was definitely intimidating.
"What would you know about beauty," Jazmine retorted. Shadow swung at Jazmine but she blocked it as well.
"I picked the right girl to be my apprentice didn't I," he said back. Jazmine went wild and did a series of moves with her sword. Shadow blocked them all effortlessly.
"I will never be your apprentice," Jazmine shouted. "You are a man of destruction and chaos." She lunged at him with her sword, but he turned into his air shape and disappeared. Jazmine looked around frantically. "Too afraid ta face me yourself? Coward!" she shouted out.
"I'm just admiring your fury within you is all," he said looking down at her from a branch. She immediately turned around faced him with her sword pointed to him.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" Jazmine asked. Shadow floated down from the tree.
"Isn't it obvious?" he stated. "You belong to a greater power who will give you so much more than that horrible excuse for a terrorist."
Jazmine went in for an attack but Shadow blocked it and swiped at her arm and left hip. Jazmine shouted in pain but kept going. She tried to get a hit on him but he kept attacking her back. He slashed her on her ribs, her thigh and shoulder. Jazmine fell to the grass shouting and gasping in pain. But then her pain turned worse when something in the cuts deepened the sting and started swarming all around her body.
"What you feel is a special venom I infused my sword with." He informed kneeling down to look at her squirming body. "Cool isn't it?" he teased. "While you're laying there, why don't you just listen to me for a change," he said standing back up. "You don't really think he loves you do you?" he asked circling her. "He manipulated you into loving you, just to humiliate you and hurt you." Jazmine started to tear up as she felt her body flinch and squirm.
"You're... w-wrong. He would never…"
"Hurt you?" he interrupted. "May I remind you of the accident he impaled on you?" he asked as he ripped a trail down her shirt on her back, but not cutting her skin. Jazmine flinched even harder as she felt the cool air on her back tingling her scar. "He didn't have to gash you like that, but instead, the darkness overtook him and thought you deserved it."
Jazmine was now crying. Was he right? He couldn't be.
"You try so hard to fight the thought, but you know I'm right," he said. Jazmine's body was now going numb, her breath was shortening and her heart was picking up pace. He kneeled down to her again and removed his sunglasses. Jazmine stared into his silver hazel eyes. What frightening and chilling feeling she got looking into his eyes! "And in time, you will come to find he is just as careless and hurtful as the other men of your life." With that, his hand glowed a blue color and he placed them on her wounds, cleansing them and healing them. Jazmine gasped and got a feeling of relief. She looked at her arms and sides, where the wounds were completely healed. No scars or marks or anything. She looked back into his eyes. I will leave you with that scar on your back to remind you of what he did, and what he could never do to make up for it, and as well, how I could care for you much better than he."
He stood back up and held his hand out to her to help her up. Jazmine just glared, picked up her sword and stood up on his own. "I expect to hear back from you before the end of the week. Or I will be back," he said. Then in a flash, he was gone. Jazmine stood there shivering until she walked back to the tree and sat down against it. She looked down at the city and thought for a moment.
What if he's right? If he could help me better than Huey could, what does that say about Huey? He intentionally hurt me and couldn't make up for it. All those times he's hurt me and he's never said he was sorry. I don't even think sorry is in his vocabulary. It can't be true…it can't be.
The sun had started to rise and set a light purple color through the sky. Jazmine thought she had better get back home. She put Huey's sword back in its case and wrapped it around her back before she started walking back to Woodcrest. She walked in the house and gently closed the door. She walked up the stairs and stepped into Huey's room. He was exactly the way she had left him. She looked at the clock and it said 5:10 exactly. She put the sword back under his side of the bed and went back to her side of the bed. She undressed herself, throwing her torn shirt in the trash can, unleashed her hair, and got in bed with him back in her birth suit.
But this time, she didn't snuggle back up with him.
