JAX: "How sure are you about this?" I ask soon after i take a seat to act like i was genuinely interested in this conversation we are about to have. "A hundred percent," is his immediate response to the question. I have to try to think of what to say next because i didn't want to make the mistake of letting him know i might have a hand in the issue. With my hands folded below my chest, i ask him, "So why exactly are you here? It's clear to me you need something from me which is why you showed up here." "Of course i do," he says without blinking an eye. "Father asked me into look into it so i decided i'll be needing your help," "And you really think i would be key in helping you find the illegal bred?" I ask him. He nods to which i then move to act like i'm deliberating on the issue. But the pretence deliberation leads me to think about something that i think would help my personal affairs in place of his. "Whoever it is you are looking for, did you trace that down to the human
ROZETA: I expected to be in so much pain but the only thing i felt was numbness. So numb that i could feel any part of my body. It took me a long while to realize my body seems to be wrapped around something. I try to flicker my eyes open just so i could find out what that is and when i do, i am surprised to see i was not actually hit by the car. How it happened, i don't know. But i know i heard a loud thud that clearly signified an impact with the approaching vehicle. The fear of knowing that whoever it is must be badly injured now keeps me on edge. I am desperate now to see the face of the person that it has me asking in an almost incoherent voice: "Are you okay?" There was a bit of adjustment before the face of the person comes to view. And i won't lie, My heart skipped upon sighiting who it is. Seeing i was aware about the identity of the person, i was filled with a wave of safety that i didn't know i needed. Most especially when my eyes come in contact with his. The overhww
JAX:If i had been a fraction too late, I don't know what would have happened to her. For all i know, she could have been dead.There was a huge tendency that she could have made it out alive but her chances were slim as she waasn't fully developed yet to resist impacts like that. It would take her first shift to unlock that kind of potential in her.I'm surprised she took everything calmly when i spoke to her after the incident. I would say she was already getting a hang of the situation. Perhaps she was feeling like there was something outwrordly about her entire situation now.I had ben pushed to tell her the truth about her new existence. Even been pushed to tell her what i am. It was Voden's reminder about time not being right yet that prevented me from doing that.Thinking about it, I find Voden's stance on this whole issue confusing. He was annoyed that i made that kind of deadly mistake but then doesn't want any harm to come her way. I don't know how more confusing that could
ROZETA:"I need an answer." I say as I make a deliberate attempt to reach the entity in my head. Call me stupid but then I really needed more clarification on what I discussed yesterday with Jax.'To what?' almost as soon as that did I get a response from the entity in my head. Just enough to know that it was indeed there."Tell me the truth about the mark on my neck. Is it the reason I'm like this? The reason I can hear you? The reason things around me seem to be more different than normal?"I stand up from my bed and then walk up to the mirror to take a look at what I was trying to talk about with the voice in my head.As usual I reach for the mark and feel around it. I still have no idea how a mark that disappeared can come back to become a scar.'First I'll need to know what prompted your curiosity...'I give a ridiculous face that I can see through the mirror. "What other information do you need other than the fact that I'm not comfortable with the new change I'm going through?"
JAX:All day I have been trying to reach Wade. I'm not comfortable with knowing that he left my apartment just like that last night. Who knows what he could have done during the time frame of me trying to ensure Rozeta's safety?One thing I know for sure is that Wade was good at tracking someone down. I won't be surprised if he actually did look into my sudden disappearance... that's if he noticed. Which is why I have to ensure he doesn't do anything like that."Manuel, what have you got now?" I say into the phone as I pace about in my office. I should be talking to him through the mind link but then my state of mind wouldn't let me get that done the proper way I should."Nothing yet," Manuel says, "But do me a favor and wait for me to reach you. You're not helping me out here with your numerous calls.""How do you expect me to wait on you? It's nighttime and I still haven't been able to get to my brother. Who knows what he could be doing now?"I hear Manuel sigh from the other end. T
ROZETA:I get no response which then leads me to call his name again. Although I was extremely surprised, I still was kind of excited to see him."What are you doing here?" I ask, following up on me calling his name.I was going to take another step forward toward his direction but the voice of Dera in my head puts me to a halt.'That's not Jax!'I was instantly whelmed with confusion. How can she say that is not him? Is that a doppelganger or something?"How can that not be him?" I ask, whispering to myself."Whatever doubt you have about my identity is correct." comes the voice from the figure that has been standing there all along. How in the world did he hear what I said?He comes into the light as I get quipped with confusion. And that confusion actually starts to lead to reality.This looks a lot like Jax. I don't want to believe that it's not him but then there was a notable difference between them. The dark soft-looking hair was not there. Instead what I was seeing was a brown
ROZETA:The voice from behind gave me an unexpected sensation. Even though it took me a while, I was able to process the voice's owner and I was swept with a flood of safety immediately.The sense of safety didn't stop my heart from beating so fast as I was still scared from the fact that a knife — which I can clearly see now — was still being directed at me. A single motion and I would be incapacitated instantly.The man didn't even look like he was struggling to get his hand free but he kept his focus on me, a smirk forming on his face as he did so."I see you really have a lot to tend to as you said," the man says, his voice a combination of calm and terrifying. He was definitely not talking to me, I was sure of that.I feel a soft grip on my arms and then the words get to my ears, "Come behind me, Rozeta."I nod once and then start to adhere to what I was told to do. Right now I wasn't bothered about being caught in a position I still have no idea about. I'm bothered about how I c
JAX:Everything looked busier than usual on the streets of Cape Mobil, a street miles away from where I had an encounter with my brother.For about an hour now, I've been looking through the window of the building I'm in as I try to detect any suspicious movement from down there. My sight was more than enough to catch anything that quick but the wariness of what could escape my eyes was what was putting me on edge.My hand was gripping tight the curtain as I looked through and the force I used on it felt like I was planning to pull the curtain apart.A groan catches my hearing. And although I didn't need anyone to tell me it was the person I brought in here with me, I still chose to look over my shoulder at her.I saw she was trying to sit up from the bed she was laying on and that was when I decided to look away. She would notice my presence in no time and that was enough. Hopefully, she doesn't shriek from the sudden realization.I could hear the ruffling of the bed as she keeps gro
