THE KORA CHRONICLES: Her Chosen Fate

road trip down the road

My butt was all aches and worn out from sticking to the seat for one hour and a half....we had stopped a while ago and stretched out.....the road was a one way one.... Sided with endless trees....there was no site of any houses or any settlements around.....which made it look like one of those wrong turn roads....but there was nothing eerie....it was just us and the shooting Mustang and some rock music playing ........after bothering Jay a couple of times about where we were heading to....he finally dropped me a hint.....it was a ranch his father owned...signed under his name....so he owned a ranch too apart from a fabulous house and worked at a diner....I kept finding out things about Jay little by little but there were too many pieces missing I could not entirely figure him out......I remembered meeting him 5 years ago.... He was sixteen...too tall for his age... Too masculine for his age.....too handsome  for his looks...his hair was blonder then....he had deep blue sea piercing eyes and the exclusive jawline.... Devilishly handsome....and I was somewhat thirteen...with braided blond hair....and a small round face....heading home....when I got rounded up by three boys....they were at least 20 or 23 ......but they were obviously something out of coolness....they were not the bullying type but harassing kind...I almost pissed on my pants....they were looking at me as the way a predator looks at its prey....I scampered back only to get blocked by another one....they didn't look like pedophiles but I couldn't guarantee I  was past trouble with them....then Jay walked in on the scene....he was just as tall as them but they were more muscular than him....he was in his all mighty glory.... The hoodlums turned their attention towards him....and I got a chance to breath.....I wanted to run but I felt sorry for the boy who walked in and saved my head while he was going to suffer the same fate I was only his was going to be much worse....I stood my ground and watched horridly as they advanced on him....I was not sure how he got his way past them but he handled them just fine..... They threw punches quickly and in rage but he threw punches on instincts and calculation....he was flawless.....not once did they get him....he wore them out probably and they ran.....I stood perplexed looking up at him....he walked to me and looked down at me with concern

"Are you okay??"he said

His voice betrayed his whole physical appearance...he still sounded like any normal teenager going through puberty...his voice was not manly yet....I nodded not able to find my voice....I definitely had a crush on him I think.....

"Name's Jay.....Jay Dante"he said smiling down at me and holding out his hand

I slipped my hand in his and smiled

"Zara.....Zara Shayne"

My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden jolt of the car....I sat bolt upright and looked at Jay....his face hard

"What just happened??"I asked trying not to panic

"Stumbled onto something I guess nothing serious"he said

I relaxed and leaned back trying to travel back in time again until we saw a man standing in the middle of the road...in full black..crew cut jet black hair....a white shirt and bow tie...he would've made a perfect best man on a wedding or the handsome waiter or a real flawless version of James Bond since he was holding a gun aiming at us....I flew into panic....

"Duck!!"Jay shouted as he tried seesaw  the car past James bond....the bullet flew right into the windshield making an eye big hole and stopped stuck in the back seat....I looked at Jay who managed to drive past him....I turned around and looked at Not-so-cool James Bond who had turned around aiming again....well we were not out of bullet reach.....Jay was stepping on the gear...the man did not aim higher.... Even if he was a little bit distant...he looked like a professional killer....very James Bond... He lowered his gun and pulled the trigger

"Jay" I whispered

Before he answered the tires screeched and I knew James Bond had hit one of the tires....I heard Jay curse and try to keep the car in control...he seesawed here and there...zig zagged and once or twice I would hit my head ....before we knew it the car dipped sharply downward....I heard a grinding crash of steel on The road...then I felt myself lifted into the air,I felt the car turning over....the car hit The road solidly throwing Jay against the steering wheel...The car rolled on in a zig zag pattern then stopped....it's right side up..it keeled over sharply...and I heard a thud...the car stopped still....no more metal scraping no more grinding no more living nightmares....

"Jay "I whispered hoarsely

I passed out...my hopes and  dreams  drowning before me
