The Horrors of My Life

Chapter 2

        Jane groans as light streams through the crack in the curtains, bathing her in light. She yawns wishing she could stay in bed for another hour or two, but knows that it's better to start moving. Standing up she realized that the room was an ice blue, the covers full of sequins with silver and that she doesn't have any clothes to change into. She snatches up her key and switchblade heading to the door, opening it a crack before it's pulled open completely by someone on the other side. Apparently their was a dude waiting for her.

        He has on a snow white cloak, the cowl sitting on his shoulders ready to be flipped up at any second to conceal his face. Something catches her eye and she realizes it's a silver belt that seems to be made out of silk, that's when she sees the glint of light on metal. Her hand automatically opening her switchblade, dropping the key as he brings out his katana.

        He swings at her with practiced ease, his katana seeming to tower over her switchblade as she blocks it. In a flick of his wrist she was dodging a swipe at her head, her legs shoulder width apart to keep her balanced as she goes for his stomach. He just steps back barely taking his eyes off of her before using a counter attack. Going through her blade to her torso, realizing this action she twirls to the left bring her switchblade up ready to deflect anything he throws. What she didn't expect was for him to lunge out at her instead of just swinging, narrowly dodging his attack she quickly loses her balance. trying to sustain it before he notices.

        Jake sees it as an opportunity to knock her down and swipes at her knees with his leg, forcing her to tumble onto the ground. She lands face first before rolling to the side as he goes for her heart, she flips back up twirling almost flipping in the air. Jake just waits for her to finish before bringing out his daggers. That's when he sees the light dawn in her eyes that she's been defeated, obviously she had figured out what type of daggers they were and what the arm bands on his wrists concealed.

Jake slowly puts his weapons away, mentally noting that she's watching him put them away at his waist band. As soon as he realized that she was reaching out to touch him he jumped up to the top of the ceiling, bracing his legs and arms against the wall to keep himself from falling. The girl looked up and down the hall wondering were he went, he had to cover up a smile as he watched her curious state.

Jane shrugged when all the sudden some rich girl came out of another room. The girl was smacking on a piece of gum, an iPhone 8 in her hand. She has a pink one strap on with the words "P!NK" on it in white, with navy blue jean shorts on. The girl glanced up at Jane then at the key laying on the ground and said in a harsh tone, "You dropped your key." Before stomping away in white Jimmy Choo heels, her white purse flopping on her shoulder. Jane glared daggers at her before grabbing her key and heading for the stairs as well.

        Kathleen glanced up as Jane dropped the key off at the desk obviously more interested in her magazine than anything else. Jane set off for the door opening it as a breeze blew past her, instantly letting go of the handle. Instead looking out at the ice covering the ground, there's not as much as last night, but it's still just as cold.

        Jake let go of the walls letting himself drop onto the balls of his feet, his knees bending to take the shock of the impact. Silently he walked towards the end of the hall, his hands automatically searching for a latch, as soon as he found it he flipped it up. Trying to slide the glass pane up without making to much noise. Once that was done he jumped up onto the ledge, his feet halfway dangling off the edge and jumped. Changing direction in mid-air to face the window his hands going up above his head ready to cling onto the edge when it was time.      

        He grunted as the impact hit his arms jarring him down to the bones. Looking down he set his feet on a rocky part of the wall, slowly beginning to climb downward. His arms, back, and shoulders screaming in protest with every movement he was making as he slowly made progress down the wall. Finally at the bottom he stiffly let go of the wall, starting to jog around the building, making sure his cowls covering up his features. To keep his mind off of his aching muscles he watches the mist in front of him as he breathes, the little tiny clouds white in the air, finally at the end of the building he stays there waiting.

        Jane looks to the side of the building seeing the shimmer of silver at the corner, she looks down and sighs. Knowing Vans aren't the best running shoes she starts moving, which of course means that the rich girl has to step outside as well. A bubble forming in Janes face Jane stops mid step and fights the urge to pop the bubble before snapping, "What?!" The girl just shrugs and smirks looking her up and down as she walks away, her heels clicking on the sidewalk and echoing off of the buildings. Jane just glares at he figure disappearing into the sunrise, before remembering her task starts running to the nearest apartment complex, wondering if she could get a place.

        Jake forcing himself to stay a pace back or two, following her as quietly as possible until he watches her step into a apartment. Right as he relaxes he steps on a twig snapping it in two, instantly wincing he looks at the door where he last saw the girl. Realizing that she hadn't heard him he stepped forward to the edge of the building, waiting for her to reappear.
