Chapter 115: Jinxed Part 1 (2/2)

”Don't bother; no one is coming for you. Never has or ever will. You are forever on your own. How does that make you feel?”

”Feel?”

”Anger? Rage? Fury?”

Jinx sat up, looking for the voice. ”Who are you?”

”I can be a friend if you want.”

”Anyone I care for is cursed.”

”I'm not like everyone. Why should you let those primates push you around? Shouldn't you choose how to live not live to choose? No one understands you, do they?”

Jinx curled up, wiping her eyes whispering. ”They say I'm a walking curse. I bring misfortune to everyone. They aren't wrong… I should have never been born.”

”Liar!” The voice yelled, making Jinx jump. ”That's those pigs talking. Knocking you down because they don't understand you. Why should you let them walk over you? Own what you have and become something better.”

”How?”

A woman walked out the shadows looking blurry wearing broken golden armour and bandages all wrapped around her. She stared down, Jinx arms folded with a daring look. ”With anger Jinx. Anger. We will show them who is king here. Afterall all men need a woman.”

”Who are you?”

The woman stayed silent before smirking holding her hand out. ”Your salvation.”

Jinx was dragged out of the river as Alton laid back panting. Jinx continued to cough up water turning her head to Alton as he took a deep breath. ”Your bloody crazy girl, you could have killed us both.”

”You saved me… You had to fucking save me, didn't you?” She hissed.

Alton sat up, giving her a strange look. ”Yeah, I bloody did. Don't have to thank me.”

Jinx scratched at her face before jumping up, kicking Alton in the stomach, knocking him back. ”I never asked you to save me! I don't need anyone, never have and never will!” Jinx tried pulling a gun out only to fail. Her hand was trembling as she screamed out loud. ”No! This is all your fault. I was so close! My powers were in reaching distance, and you took them away! I cannot go back! She saved me I refuse to let it go! ALTON BRANTLEY! I HATE YOU!”

Alton stood up only to slip on the wet ground falling back down as Jinx pounced on him trying to scratch his eyes out. Alton headbutted her, kicking her off as he rolled around. ”Jesus Christ, she's even more insane than before.”

Jinx held her hand out, picking up her last gun firing away as Alton jumped into the bushes as he climbed the trees which surrounded her. Gripping his bloody hand tightly yelling out. ”I don't know what you've been through Jinx, but I'm going to make this certain. I will save you!”

Jinx began firing away hissing as her eyes were bulging with rage. ”Shut up! I don't need anyone! There's only one person who can save me, and that's me! Now stand still while I pump your body full of lead. I will have my Salvation!”
