Youth Prime: The Beginning

Chapter 14

Hola, random chica, here! Yea I've definitely been procrastinating with writing this chapter, there really is no excuse. Anyway I know you guys may not care, but here is my schedule for school, Earth Science, Gym, Spanish 2, AP World History 1, Music, Geometry, and Honors English 1, I'm in the 9th grade. So everything is pretty good. But let's start the story now. Oh and I started reading the Mortal Instruments, the city of bones.

Alexis' Pov

I'm standing in Jake's kitchen wearing a short maid outfit upon his request, making breakfast for the two of us. I stand in front of the stove frying up some scrambled eggs, when I hear soft footsteps and a yawn. I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist, and a head rest on my shoulder.

Instead of pushing him away like I want to, I simply whisper, "Did you sleep well last night?" He replies lips close to my ear, "Yea." Then he asks, "Is breakfast almost ready Allie?" Yes Allie he's become somewhat fond of me in this past week and a half, the same way a four year becomes fond of a toy and claims it. So naturally a nickname came.

Through the corner of my eye I notice him staring at me as I cook the eggs. He holds me closer, and asks curiously, "Who taught you how to cook?" I say glancing at him momentarily, "Both of my parents."

Jake says almost like he's talking more to himself than to me, "My parents died when I was young in a car accident, that's why I have that scar on my back." I say, while placing eggs, bacon, and toast on two plates for us, "I'm sorry about that, there's nothing anyone can really say to make things better for you."

Jake only says, "You seem to be the only one to understand that." I don't say anything, even though there is one thing I do want to ask him, well two sort of. I grab the two plates and he removes his arms and steps back freeing me.

I place the plates on the table, walk over to his chair, pulling it out slightly for him. Jake sits, and I push the chair back to the table. I'm about to walk over to my chair when he grabs my arm pulling me back.

He stares directly at my face, and says, "Sit", glancing down at his lap. I stare at his face a small frown etched onto mine. I want to say no, even hit him upside the head for suggesting such a thing, but I don't. I know what will happen if I do, he has never hesitated to taze me, when I "defied" him before.

Jake raises an eyebrow at me, waiting for me to sit. I step towards him and he leans back a little to give me space, and I sit. His arm snakes around my waist and I reach over to pull my plate over towards me. We eat silently and when finished I happily remove myself from him, and place our dishes in the sink.

I feel him staring at me, but I don't bother turn around to actually make sure. Finally he says, "I want you to run an errand for me." This surprises me because he's kept me locked up in here for a week and a half. I hid my excitement and the amount of ideas spiraling around in my head with this new found information and ask, "What kind of errand?"

"I need you to bring something to a few friends of mine," he said while getting up from his seat. I feel Jake place a piece of hair behind my ear, and whispers, "Do you think I can trust you with this?" I answer, "Yes." He has no reason not to trust me.

Suddenly as I'm drying my hands since I just finished the dishes, I feel myself being grabbed roughly. I'm turned around, and pushed against the sink. A small gasp is let out, and I look up to see Jake staring at me intently almost glaring, searching my face.

He speaks lowly, "I will give you directions to get there, you will walk there, hand her what you need to and walk straight back. You don't speak to anyone, or go anywhere other then where I send you, understand?" I nod my head, and quietly answer with a yes.

He steps back, still looking at me, "OK I guess I can trust you with this. I'll be right back, wait here." I nod even though he's already halfway out of the kitchen.

I lean against the counter, allowing the thought of being able to leave sink in. Maybe, I'll see one of the others? Or even get a good look at the place so I could find a way to escape. The possibilities are endless, but I'll have to be both quick and smart, there's no room for mistakes here. All now it all seems so unreal, I remember the days when the only thing to really be concerned about was when my next test was going to be, and what I'm having for dinner. Now I'm here planning an escape.

I push all of those thoughts away when I hear Jake return. I straighten out my body, standing up nice and straight, filled with a sense of excitement, making sure not to seem to eager.

He stares at me, eyeing me carefully, from head to toe. It's like he's just waiting for me to do something wrong, so he can point it out. Kinda reminds me of the song The Fighter by Gym Class Hereos.

Jake hands me a small box wrapped in a bright pink gift wrap, tied perfectly with a white bow. Then he shoves a piece of paper in my hand. He leans in whispering dangerously, "This package is very important so don't screw it up." The last part practically dripped with venom when he said it. I nod, eager to leave.

We head over to the door, he opens it for me. I step out and it's immediately closed back. I look down at the paper he handed me. Turn right. I followed the directions until I ended up in a place that looked some what familiar.

My pace begins to slow as I'm looking at the wall and the doors, but I stop when I see a thick metal door. I peak through the metal bars at the top of the door, and look into the room. It's the same room that I woke up in over a week ago. It's looks exactly the same, completely untouched.

Suddenly something soft covers my mouth, and arms wrap around me. I feel myself being lifted up a few inches off the ground and I begin to trash around throwing kicks with my spiked heels.

A familiar sounding voice, let's out a low, yelp of pain. Then next thing I know I'm thrown into a closet. I regain my balance, and turn around as soon as the door closes. And I come face to face with...
