Day 1


Kaitlyn is one of those lonely people that nobody ever talked to, and since she was very shy, she didn't really try talking to people either. Her parents were always busy with work, so she didn't have too much time to bond with them. She, as well, grew up as a single child.
Because of her time alone, Kaitlyn learned to strengthen her academic knowledge and lost of her time was spent studying. After high school, Kaitlyn moved into a condon in an urban city. She pursued the career of being an author, and she was known for it.
Kaitlyn had been working on a novel. A sequel to a story that flooded the literary markets. As she was working, her door bell rang. "Ugh, who could it be?"
The door bell rann at quick intervals. "I'm coming!" she yelled.
Kaitlyn pulled open the door revealing a breathless man.
"Please, let me in," he says gasping for air.
"Whoa re you?" Kaitlyn questioned.
The man didn't answer. He ran passed Kaitlyn and entered her living room. "There are bad people coming after me," says the man.
"Bad people?" Kaitlyn says as she closes the door.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Geez, why me?" Kaitlyn asked herself and opens the door.
Another man stood there; however, this man was attractive to Kaitlyn. She froze.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Have you seen a young man running around here?" the man questions.
Kaitlyn stood still. She was stunned.
"Excuse me, miss?"
"No... No, I haven't," she studders.
"Okay then," the man finishes as he found his was to the next door.
Kaitlyn slowly closes her door. She was sweating and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
"Thanks for the save," the young man says while crawling out from behind a couch.
"Yeah... Sure," Kaitlyn starts, "exactly, who are you?"
"I'm Jack. Jack Kepling."
"Kepling? What kind of a last name is that?" kaitlyn says then giggles.
"Oh hush!" Jack shouts, "You don't mind of I stay here for a little while?"
"Of course not! I don't really know you, Jack."
Jack pulled out his wallet and grabbed a few hundred dollars. "I'll pay you."
"No, no! That's not necessary!"
"No, please," Jack pleaded throwing the money onto her coffee table in the center of the living room.
With what he did, Kaitlyn couldn't help it but to accept his offer. "Find, I'll let you stay here for a while."
Jack was grateful, "Thank you, Kaitlyn!"
Kaitlyn thought to herself for a moment, "I never introduced myself to him. How did he already know my name?"

Jack had already began to search his new base of operations. He looked above and below every object as he familiarizes himself with the condo. Kaitlyn made her way back to her office and began writing her story once more.

Hours pass, and Kaitlyn penned in twelve pages onto her final manuscript. It was four pages less than what she is capable of doing, but Jack came to interrupt her quite a few times.
Jack sat around Kaitlyn's dinner table, which had papers scattered around but was moved for his convenience, and he waited for something to eat. Kaitlyn was preparing a steak, and Jack's mouth watered with excitement. It seemed as if Jack had never had a meal in a while, and when he started eating, he didn't stop to take a breath. He finished his meal in a matter of minutes.
Kaitlyn set up an extra bed for Jack in an empty room that she had. Jack offered to help, but she insisted on doing it on her own. By nine o'clock, Jack went to bed; Kaitlyn went to sleep an hour after Jack.

Kaitlyn woke up in the middle of the night. She had a nightmare. One about the past that she never enjoyed. Lately, Kaitlyn has been having nightmares. Each which were similar to one another.
Kaitlyn tilted her head over to her right. She intended on looking at the time, but instead finds Jack sitting on the floor looking at her. Kaitlyn was surprised and frightened.
"What are you doing here?" she yells.
"Calm down. I'm here to protect you."
"Protect me? From what?"
"Any dangers."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, I mean anything that could cause harm."
Kaitlyn began to calm down a little bit, "Jack, just go back to sleep."
Kaitlyn laid back down and moved her sight to the other side of the room.
