The house was so clean!

The floors were squeaky under my feet and there were big beautiful paintings on the walls. 

I walked down the hallway and down the stairs. Not knowing where I was going, I took a guess and headed left which turned out to be the kitchen.

There was Jake plating up some bacon and eggs. He lifted his head up and smiled

"hey, I'm glad to see the clothes fit."

I looked down at myself suddenly feeling very self conscious "uh, yea thanks...again," he smiled. I gestured to the food. "Is that for me?" 

"yea it is, unless your vegetarian............" 

"Oh don't worry Im not a vegetarian, I'm actually quite the opposite, I'm a pretty meaty girl" I  immediately blushed as I realized how wrong that sounded. Meaty girl? really? Way to go Grace I thought sarcastically.

Jake laughed "okay then, well here you go," he slid over a plate of food to my side as I sat down.

"Wow this is really good" I mumbled. I was so hungry though that anything would be good right now.

Jake looked at me while I stuffed my face and I guess curiosity got the best of him as he blurted out "why did you show up the other night looking like the living dead?"

I stopped eating and slowly tilted my head up and looked him in the eye.

"It's a long story........" I trailed off.

"I think I have the time" he smiled.

"Well okay then I'll tell you but be warned" I joked "I might just have to kill you after."

"Well see about that" jake smirked.

"You don't think I have the skills?" I teased.

"Oh I'm sure you have skills, just not very good ones" Jake teased back.

"You don't know what I'm capable of" I replied.

"Neither do you" he finished.

I scowled at him and he laughed.

"Look do you want to hear my story or not?" I questioned, I was getting a bit pissed off now.

"Not" He joked.

"Okay then" I hopped out of my chair and was about to leave when he called out "wait! I'm sorry, please can you tell me your story?" 

"and?" I continued.

Jake sighed then said "Please all mighty of awesomeness that has so much more skill then me and could whip my ass any day, please tell me your story?" he pleaded and with that I sad back down again with a satisfied look on my face.

"well............." I paused with a hesitant look on my face.

"Its alright" jake said, "keep going..."

"I'll try and make it short" I said.

"It all started two months ago. I was going to pick up my little sister Jess, at a birthday party. As we were walking back to the car these men came out of nowhere. They drugged us and when we woke up we were tied to some chairs in a basement and we had these weird looking shackles around our hands. Those shackles were the only things that stopped us from escaping. They stopped us from using our gift and we weren't much of a match to them and Jess was only 12 years old so really it would have been three onto one. They fed us once a day, it was always the same food so we got sick of it quickly. They made us become their servants. We were to clean the house and cook for them every day. Sometimes they made us rob a store or something for them but seeing as we had absolutely no experience in robbing a store"-why would we?- "Then Jess and I used our gifts but we didn't let our kidnappers know that. Their leader was a small man but he held an aura of great power around him. He said his name was Matt Dialand and he would sit us down two times a week and try to get us to talk about our gifts and what we wanted from people like him. Of course we had no idea what he was talking about and as for the gifts, we pretended we didn't know what they were talking about either. We never knew why they kidnapped us though. I think that if we had given them the information they were looking for then they would use us for something much worse then what they were using us for already. Up to just a week ago Matt told us that he was getting impatient and his exact words were "I wouldn't stop to permanently hurt you girls because either way I'm going to get my answers and I am prepared to go to extreme lengths to get them."

Relieving that memory brought shivers up my spine and brought tears to my eyes as I said the next bit to my story. 

"The other day when you saved me Jake, that was the day J...Jess.....Jess was k...killed" I choked. "Matt pushed her over the edge of a cliff because she wouldn't speak." The tears leaked over and I had to choke back a sob.

"I remember when we first got kidnapped, she....she was so scared" I was full on crying now. I couldn't help it. "I held her in my arms and I kept mumbling to her, its going to be alright, Don't worry Jess I'll get us out of here. I made her promise me that whatever they did to us we would not give in and we will not tell them anything. I tried to be the brave one so she wouldn't be so scared but on the inside I was petrified. I've always counted on my gift to help me out and when I was kidnapped only then did I realize just how much I depended on it." I looked at Jake. He looked like he wanted to punch something but when I looked in his eyes I saw sadness and sorrow. For some strange reason I wanted to come over there and just hug him with all my might  and comfort him until that sorrow went away even though he was the one feeling sorry for me not the other way around. 

"I escaped right after she fell. I used to do martial arts and when they took us to the cliff they took off our hand cuffs but they kept them touched to our skin so we wouldn't be able to use our gifts. Unfortunantly when Jess fell she hadn't learnt how to fly yet so she....she...." I couldn't finish the sentence. 

Next thing I knew Big strong arms were wrapping around me and pulled me close to their side.

"its going to be okay," Jake whispered in my ear. "Your safe now."

He lifted me up and carried me back to my room bridal style. He kicked open the door and lay me down on the bed. As soon and his touch left me I felt so lonely. I felt cold. I felt like something was missing. I reached out for his hand. "Please, don't leave me" I pleaded. Tears falling down my cheeks. Jake must have heard the desperate tone in my voice so he layed down beside me and wrapped his arms around me so my back was against his chest. As soon as he touched me again I felt that warmth come back. I felt that emptiness dissapear and a warm glowing light replaced it.

I felt his warm breath against my ear as he whispered "sweet dreams Grace" and with that I fell into my first peaceful sleep in a very, very long time.
