Just to be clear, Keira's name is pronounced: Key-rah
Enjoy! :P and please review!
"I already know who you are," the girl replied. Jack hummed a little in response, this girl was different.
Jack looked down into the girl's soft brown eyes, they reminded him a little of his past life, but her shade was lighter than his used to be. Jack's head tilted to the side, like a curious puppy hearing the tv. The girl looked a little frightened, so Jack threw her a dazzling white toothed smile, her cheeks flared and Jack found he enjoyed seeing a reaction from her.
"Sorry to surprise you like this," Jack began, still smiling at her, her dark blonde hair looked soft, "I actually wasn't going to confront you at all, but a friend convinced me other wise."
"Hmm," the girl responded, her brown eyes fixed on his ice blue. His eyes were cold, yet friendly, and they were so blue. As blue as ice.
"My name is Keira," the girl's breath smelt of ginger and sugar.
He smiled at the girls name, and Keira felt her cheeks heat up again, curse those cheeks.
Jack gazed around the room, her room wasn't like normal girl's rooms. It was very urban, and tan, it was covered in a map wallpaper on one side of her room. Jack picked up a mask from her dresser and tried it on.
"Be careful with that!" Keira suddenly shouted, Jack just laughed in response and set the mask back down.
"So, how old are you?" Jack asked her, her eyes widened in surprise, she thought the first thing he would do would be to ask about the elephant in the room, but she just shrugged her shoulders in response.
"I'm seventeen," she responded casually, her gaze snapped to Jack observing his reaction. He smiled. Teeth. Bright.
"two years older than Jamie," was his response, Keira had to take a moment to absorb his answer.
"Jamie? You mean Jamie Bennett?"
Jack's eyes brightened, and his smile grew even wider, "you know Jamie?!" He responded, somehow he had gotten right up into her face in the speed of lightening.
"uhhh, yeah, I work with him. Brown Hair. Brown Eyes. Show off. Fails at it." Jack frowned at Keira's last few words.
"Does he really show off?" he asked, Keira skipped the question.
"How do you know Jamie? He can see you too?"
Jack picked up Keira's tiki ornament that was next to her mask, it came from Hawaii, but Keira had the suspicion that her parents bought it from a gift store.
Jack smiled sadly down into the growling face of the tiki man, "Not so much anymore."
Jack set down the Tiki man and sighed, before turning to her and smiling brightly, "never mind about that, I have a question for you."
Here it came, the large elephant was about to be addressed. Keira waited patiently in silence for his question.
"How can you see me?"
she sighed, what a question that was indeed, and she had no idea.
"I don't know," she responded, and Jack's eyes widened, "I know I'm not supposed to see you, and I have seen you before, flying around town." she began to explain, Jack's eyes widened, large blue saucers.
"I don't know why I can see you, I have tried to convince myself that I don't believe in you, I know that's the reason why other people can't see you."
Keira sat down on her bed, fidgeting with the sleeves of her knitted sweater, "I don't even know if you're real or if I'm just crazy," Jack could hear her throat constricting, he could hear the tears coming. Jack strode right over to her, and knelt in front of her so that he could look into her eyes.
Jack peered into her teary brown irises, "that's why I am here," he said to her, a look of true concern, "I am very much real."
Tears began to pour down her face, she supposed in relief, and she smiled at Jack for the first time. It made Jack want to kneel down and give her anything she could ever want.
Jack slowly reached out for her, and lightly gripped his hand on her arm, "I'm real," he repeated.
That night, Keira and Jack stayed up almost all night, and Jack explained to her that he was a guardian, and what his job was, and Keira would answer any questions he had that confused him about her. Before Jack knew it the girl had managed to fall asleep with her head on his shoulder, and Jack laid her down on the bed, checking her bed side alarm clock, it was 1:00 am.
To make sure that Keira wouldn't think Jack a dream, he left her a note on her bedside table.
See you Tomorrow
In his old fashioned flourish.
And he leaped out of the window back to the North Pole.
Okay I know this one is kinda short, well it is longer than the other ones. And I wanted this one to be really long, but I'm getting lazy XP
