London Adventures Take 1
Jess had been enjoying her vacation. Lots of things for her to see in London. It was something she was starting to enjoy. Mostly because it had been a long time since she had done anything like this that wasn’t a shopping outing. And as much as she liked to shop she also liked getting out doing other things. She found that London was a nice city to spend her time exploring. It didn’t matter that she was mostly alone doing this. She still found new things every day since she had arrived in the city.
Of course she still dropped into the Nexus too. But was just another part of her day. But now she had a nagging feeling. She couldn’t quite explain it but it felt like she was being watched by someone. It was a bad sinking feeling after a while but Jess wasn’t about to try confronting this feeling. She decided to stick to public places like she had been. Even if she kept getting odd looks. After all there weren’t very many people like her. Even if it had been pretty well publicized across the globe. It still left her unsteady at times due to the looks that got sent her way. People were just very naturally curious and she couldn’t blame them. But she could ignore them as she went about her vacation..
But as luck would have it she did indeed have people following her when she was on her way back to her hotel for a change of clothes. She almost immodestly erected a shield an turned to confront whoever was there only to find the space empty. Odd. No one was there. She crooked a brow at that then turned to continue onward when she felt something hit her. It went right through her shield and she looked at her shoulder in shock. Someone had shot her with an arrow. It hurt like hell but she could see people moving so she bolted starting to run. She knew how she had been hit. The shaft of the arrow was made of wood as well as the tip. It hurt to get hit like that. And she wondered why they weren’t chasing after her. She also wondered why suddenly her legs felt pretty heavy. And her eyes too. Was it her or was it getting dark too? It really wasn’t Jess. She fell to the ground with a thud as the people who were after her came out of their locations. It had been easy for them to get her.
“Move ‘er.”
It would be an hour maybe longer before Jess woke up. She found that she was on her side in the back of a van. It was a shock to wake up like that. Though it wasn’t as big a shock to find herself handcuffed. But it did have her react with a growl.
“What the fuck?”
“Shit! She’s up!”
Jess turned her head but had difficulty seeing what was behind her. But she had to get out so she dug down deeply for a well of power and focused on the doors to the back of the van and just pushed out with her power. It was unexpected but the door on the left blew off and the one on the right sprung open. She didn’t even think about it. Snagged her purse with her hands and jumped. She could hear horns blowing from the door flying off and landed very awkwardly on her side. She felt something in her left arm give. She wasn’t sure what but she had to get out of the road. She barley missed getting hit by an oncoming car as she ran for it. She thought she heard someone behind her and she had to focus again. Her power thankfully was still there in full force. So she jumped and was in the air trying to get away as fast as she could but it still hurt and she wanted to land and hide someplace. The best place though would be the Nexus
