Crash And Burn (a Jack from the Tribe love story)
ok so this is the story from before but with a better heading. For those of you that haven't read my other one this is set about the time when Jack gets taken by the chosen.
(Ann-Marie's)
The room was empty, the concrete floor which i slept on last night was as cold as ice and as hard as stone, explaining my aching back, although that could have something to do with the beating i took yesterday when i was captured. I looked down at my lacerated knuckles; the blod was warm against my freezing fingers but it still stung. Next time i won't hold back i'll hit the guy, not the wall, they think they can break me but they can't. The chosen are a group of psycopaths who worship a god called Zoot, and i'm pretty sure they are aiming for world domination.
I was captureed yesterday, i was just minding my own business passing through an old city and then a group of crazies come along chanting "Zoot, Zoot, Zoot" over and over. I had heard about these people so i turned and ran. I didn't really know the city well enough though and i found myself at a dead end. I was trapped and surrounded by crazy people, i wasn't going to just ut my hands up and go "I surrender" i fought, but unfortunately it was literally one hundred to one.
I could here one of the chosen's feet clicking along a corridor not far from my room, i stood up, ready to put my plan into action, i was not in a good mood and the next chosen to come through that door was going to find that out the hard way.
I saw the door oen and i ran at the blue robbed person with a tray of food, the chosen had underestimated me just like everyone else, just a swift kick to his head and he was out cold. I bolted through the door straight through the two guards that were there. Despit my lack of height and the fact that i was a girl i was fairly muscular which meant that when i ran into someone they fell down.
i ran down the short corridor with my arms out, clothes lining as many chosen as i possibly could. i was like a tornado ripping up trees, despite the fact that i was managing to bowl over as many chosen as possible i still had to find the exit. I took a right turn and found myself at a flight of stairs. There were a few chosen blocking my way, but the most interesting thing was that there were a group of people being guarded by them.
I dived at the chosen on the staircase and ran down the stairs. Now before the illness came along i had set myself a personal rule, NEVER run down stairs and what happened next is the reason why. i was halfway down the stairs and I misplaced my foot, i had put it on the very edge of the steep, my feet feet gave out from under me and i slid down the stairs like a penguin
As the ground came closer and closer i realised that i was having a blast, even though i'm probably going to be knocked unconscious this is the most fun i have had in a long time. I slid face first into the hard floor and felt my eyes water as my nose had been the first thing to slam into the ground, it's so annoying that whenever i hit my nose on something my eyes start watering.
i clambered to my feet and realised that the group of people were staring at me in disbelief. "Hi which way is the exit" i asked rubbing my nose cheking to see weather it was broken or not, "that way" said a girl with blue through her black hair pointing towards a corridor, "Are you ok?" asked a younger girl who had orange in her hair "Yea, my face broke the fall, or did the fall break my face, one of them" i answered cheerfully. I could here the chosen coming, "well see ya" i said and ran off.
i rand down the corridor but then it forked off in two directions, great, i had a fifty fifty chance of escaping. I chose left becuase i like left and took off again. I ran for a few seconds and i could hear the chosen behind me, i looked over my shoulderto check how close they are. I could see there shadows; i turned my head back and hit a wall. God damn it my nose again! i had picked the wrong way, and there were about ten chosen me, i turned around and stepped forward.
wasn't going to bother fighting unless they started it because there is no way i could beat them all and i might as well conserve what i have left of my strength. "Grab her and take her to the balcony" it was the guardian, this was not good. The Guardian is crazy and knowing him he will probably throw me over the railings.
i was marched back down the corridor, past the group of people and up the stairs, the whole time i kept a smile on my face. After i was up there the guardian spoke to the of people. "See where resistance gets you, there is no point you'll only be recaptured and make things worse for yourselves" "yea because living your life in fear is so much better" i snarl at him. "Silence, you will be an example to everyone else" he looked at his men "throw her over the rail" well that's original. i head gasps.
i was terrified i didn't like falling and i knew i would hurt a lot. I wriggled and squirmed but everytime o escaped one two would take there place. It took ten to throw me over the rail. I saw the ground rushing up to meet me and i knew this was going to hurt. i landed on my hands and knees and let the give way trying to soften the impact a little. I don't know if it worked but it hurt like hell.
I groaned and raised myself a little on my hands and knees but my right arm hurt so i had to shift my weight to my knees. i could feel everybody staring at me, most likely in shock, maybe with fear; i really didn't know i was too sore to know. "Take her to the roof" i heard the guardian say, this guy never gives up. They dragged me up to my feet, everything was aching and i didn't feel like being helpful thrown off of the roof but i wasn't strong enough to fight back, at the moment, so i just let them drag me.
When we got to the roof i looked dow measuring the building with my eyes i decided it was about fifteen metres high. I laughed out loud, "tell me, what do you find so amusing about all of this?" The guardian questioned me with suspicion, "that fall won't kill me, it might do some damage but it won't kill me" i answer "what makes you think that?" "the height, how long it will take me to fall, how fast i'll be going and most of all, how tough i am," i smirked at him "oh and you worked this out in a matter of seconds?" he asked "well, yea" "very well. we'll have to put your theory to the test won't we" he turned to the people holding me "throw her off, i'll head down there now" and with that he stalked off like an evil cat.
i didn't even bother to struggle this time, i was busy concentrating on how i had to land. When i went over the edge i felt the wind pull my hair back from my face, it felt as though it took hours for me to hit the ground but trthfully it would have only taken a second. When the chosen a=had thrown me over the railing i realised tat i was going to get more then a few more bruises.
they had thrown me causing me to fall and go forward at the same time which meant that i was going to slide across the asphalt. I felt my body hit the asphalt; i had landed on my side but had managed to keep my head out of the way. When i had stopped moving i felt blood spreading over my side, i'm not having a good day today. I rolled onto my back and i knew i should get up and run away but i couldn't, i was in agony.
i heard the footsteps of the chosen coming and when they crowded around me i sat up with great difficulty. "I see you survived" said the guardian "i told you so" i answered cheekily; he ignored my comment and went on. "i've decidedthat you could be useful to us, someone who can do math that quick will be useful when it comes to building things" i let out a snort of laughter, "you think that i'm going to help you, please, i don't think so" I mean you threw me off of a building, you beat me up yesterday, you locked me ud in a dank, dingy, smelly room, and you think im going to join you!" "Who said you have a choice," i stared at him.
Was this guy for real, i mean seriously, just how did he plan on MAKING me do it? "you can't make me" i said, "we'll just see about that" He looked at his hench-men "take her to the room." he said. He looked back at me "we will breack you, you'll see" and with that he stalked off.
(Jack's P.O.V)
They threw me into the back of a Ute, and handcuffed me there, as they started driving uo the road i saw Elly, "Jack" she called to me, "never forget me Elly!" I managed to call back before we turned a corner. Everything was happening so fast, first i was escaping through the sewers, and then i was captured and dragged back to where the rest of the malrats were. I thought i was going to die but for some reason the Guardian decided that i would be useful to them and now i was here, in the back of this ute in handcuffs.
I sighed and looked down; i saw two greyish blue eyes staring up at me, a young girl about my age was laying in the back of the Ute her hands were chained to the tailgate and she tared up at me with a quizical look s though she wasn't sure quite what to make of me. Her hair was dyed a bright blue with the odd streak of black through it and every inch of her skin that i could see was covered in bruises.
"Glad you noticed" her voice was harsh yet sweet at the same time and she showed no sign of being unhappy with me because i didn't notice she was there. "I'm Ann-Marie by the way" she said with a small smile "Jack" i said then noticed that she was looking at something behind me. She must of noticedme peering in the direction she was looking. "I have a plan, but we need to be near where i live for it to work." She looked at me and then grabbed something that was hanging around her neck and threw it to me.
I looked at the object, it was a key, and it shone as though it had hardly been used. "It's a master key" She told me withoutshifting her gaze. I unlocked my handcuffs and went to take them off, i don't take them off just leave them hanging around your wrists so they can't see," she nodded her head in the drivers and pasengers direction. "You take the second person who comes out of the car, i've got the first."
