Jacob has always had a busy life. Moving from place to place always consisted of new people and surroundings, so he got used to crazy. When he'd finally settled down in New York he was happy to have a bit of consistency. It was a good change. Things quieted down, and for once everything made sense to him. Funny how so much can change with one morning walk. A run in with some out of the ordinary kidnappers and a girl who knew more than most sucked him back into the world of confusion, except this time things were different. It wasn't just real world problems anymore, because the definition of what was real was no longer the same. There was a certain kind of magic intertwined with his world. The kind that took the childhood out of children, but also the kind that repaired hope in the hopeless. So yeah, he could admit chaos had a way of tracking him, but this time things really would change for him, because this time he had some of the control. He had already passed the course on things that shouldn't be possible. Now he could use it for himself.
