Chapter one- Rage

Song.Crawling.Linkin Park.

Crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Talia Goldwin shoved people out of the way as she ran through the mall. She wished this idiot would stop following her. She left for a reason, and it was not so that he could follow her wherever the hell he wanted. She pushed a teenage couple into the wall and glanced over her shoulder and then kept going. She finally made it through all the people and found herself in the parking lot. She started down the sidewalk, but then Griffin was in front of her. She didn’t notice him until the air compacted around her.

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem

Talia cussed under her breath and threw her backpack against the wall. Her green eyes were on fire as she stared him down. Griffin let out a breath and then turned around punching the wall. Talia pulled her blonde hair into a bun and then turned back to him.

“What is your problem, Griffin?” She asked him fury in every word.

“Oh, so I’m the problem now? Huh? You pull me down from the power line and then I save you from some Paladine’s. I nursed you back to health, and then you leave. You just left me there by myself after I did everything for you.” He said shaking his head. “Yeah obviously I’m the one with the problem.” He said before picking up his satchel and leaving. She shook her head and wondered if she should go after him. Her lips were in a thin line and she rushed forward grabbing his jump scar. He was in his lair, what was left of it anyway. She walked over to him and crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall.

“You are not the problem Griffin. I am, I always have been. I never wanted to be this, okay. I never wanted to be able to go everywhere and anywhere whenever I wanted. I never wanted to be chased by Paladine’s. Okay, this sucks being a jumper. You constantly have to be on the lookout for a stalker and your life is never normal. Okay, I hate it. I would gladly give it to someone else if I could.” She looked down at him as he packed some things into his satchel.

To find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

“Do you think I asked for this?” He yelled. She shook her head. “Look I have things to do and people to deal with. Now, we can be friends again or you can leave, because I don’t have time for this anymore. The only reason I followed you in the mall was because you were there and I was shocked. Now are you coming?” He asked sticking his hand out. She rolled her eyes and placed her pale silky palm in his rough tan one.

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it’s haunting how I can't seem...

Talia found herself standing in a busy airport. Her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at Griffin in question.
“David is getting off that plane in ten minutes. I have to catch him before him and his little girlfriend start on their little vacation.” He said and Talia nodded. “Ah they’re early.” He said jumping to them and grabbing David by the shoulders. Talia jumped beside the girl making her hair flow about her ears. “David, Roland may be dead, but that doesn’t mean you can just go jumping on planes. Come on I have a new lair on a deserted island somewhere off the Bahamas.” He told David hurriedly. He still had his hands on his shoulders. “Talia will take your girlfriend, and don’t even think about leaving the island once we get there. I will know if you do, at the moment I’m the only one who can leave.” He told him and then they were gone. Talia quickly grabbed the girl’s hand and then the jump scar. They landed in the sand, and the girl looked pissed when she stood up.

Crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Talia moved to jump back to her lair but it felt like her feet were glued to the ground.

“Griffin why can’t I leave?” She asked him. Her voice leaking with venom, while her face showed that she was clearly ticked off.

“I told you weren’t you listening? I’m the only one who can jump out of this place. There’s a perimeter set around it." He stated plainly. She glared at him and then pounced.

“Take me home NOW!” She shrieked making them both tumble to the ground and fall into the sand, the white pieces twisting into her hair. Griffin rolled over with a laugh.

“Aw, dear, your so funny. You really think I’m going to let you leave that easily?” He asked her lightly. She punched him on the shoulder and crawled from beneath him.

“Fine, your choice, You’re the one who has to live with me for the next few days until you let me out of here.” She told him lightly standing up and dusting herself off. Griffin stood up beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders and letting his breath tickle her ear.

“Is being with me really that bad, love?” He asked her and her pale cheeks became a little more pink in color.

“Just take me back to my lair Griffin.” She snapped. She twisted her head to look at David who cleared his throat to make his presence known. "What?" She snapped. "This is all your fault. Your the one who was being the idiot, who got himself targeted." She turned and began walking toward the ocean.

"Fiesty one isn't she?" Griffin asked following her.
