Chapter 3

Chapter 3: When Love Strikes.....

I remember like it was yesterday when I saw Jack for more then just a scared little girl. She grew before my eyes, but I never saw it. It never dawned on me that she was a woman. That somewhere along the way, she had developed into a goddess, and that she was not longer that scrawny, shy, awkward teenager. I swear, the day I realized that she was a woman, and not that little girl,

I felt...well...I felt like a schoolboy in love for the first time.

In all honesty, I was a shy "schoolboy", except I was thirty-one, and a mass murder. There's a love story for you, a romance novel waiting to happen. I always knew that Jack felt something for me, but I had NO idea, that I felt something for her, until I almost lost her. I hate thinking that day, but, that day always haunts me. I see her, in a pool of her own blood, barely breathing and her eyes....her eyes with no live in them to hold on to.

God, that scared the shit out of me.

We were walking to the ship, I could sense the mercies on our trail, I could see the ship in the distance....four minutes....three minutes....two minutes...but there was no one. Before it hit me what had happened, I felt Jack's hand go limp in mine. I thought...maybe she was running, doing as I always instructed her to do when an intense situation came to play. BUT....when I turned around, I saw her there, blood everywhere, her face pale, and the life, slowly slipping away.

That was the first time I felt anything, and emotion in my entire life.


I felt my heart, drop into my stomach, as I saw my life without her. And then I realized.....she was the ONLY thing that kept me alive. She is the only thing that CAN keep me alive. I wanted to drop to my knees and hold her to me, but I couldn't. The mercs were right there, face to face with me. At that moment, all I can do was think of Jack. That was also the first time I prayed. Prayed that she would stay alive long enough for me to save her.

My eyes saw nothing but rage as I tore through the mercs, cutting them to pieces and not thinking a damn thing about it. My mind was in a haze as I killed them, and when I finally came back to my senses, I saw the carnage that lined the road ahead of me.

And I didn't care
