Life Jumper - B.B. (reading strategies book .txt) 📗

Ah, my normal, yet not normal life. Awesome.

"Danny!"

Hello. My name is April Black. I have a pale complextion, like the rest of the group, I have shortish black hair that covers one eye, that also has white, neon green, and crimson red streaks in it. To my friends I'm either 'The ninja' or 'The raven'. I'm '5"11... I think.... and have blue eyes with gray on the outside and around the pupil. I have a group of close friends that surround me and are like my family. Danny, who's 'The jokester', '6"3, shaggy white, yes I said white, and had black and green streaks through it, and he has bright green eyes. Then there's Anna who's '5'6, and 'The fighter'and the shortest of the group, she has blond hair with neon green streaks and grey eyes that seem to sparkle with mystery and danger. She switches between neon green and red streaks. Amy is 'The big sister' who protects everyone and is '5"10, brown puppy eyes, brown hair with a single white streak. Then there is the twins. James and Jack. James being 'The perve' and Jack being 'The Book' because that's all he's ever doing. Both are '6"2, blond hair with black highlights, blue eyes and Jacks nose is always in a book. We steer him away from trees and walls, which he usually is always almost running into. Damned book. Now that you have background well this will be easy.

"Danny!" "Yea?!" "Have you seen my eyeliner?!" "Nooooooooooo!" "Danny! Give it back!"

Did I mention we live together?

"I don't have it! James does!"

Great the perve has it. That's just great.

"JAMES GIVE ME MY GOD DAMNED EYELINER BEFORE I RIP YOUR SORRY ASS HEAD OFF AND HANG IT OVER THE MANTLE!" "Come and get it sweetheart!"

I growled and slamed open his door, grabbing him by the front of the shirt and looking him in the eye.

"Wow, all this for eyeliner eh?" "No. It's the fact that it was in my underwear and bra drawer at the bottom with the rest of my make up and all of the drawer was looked through." "Ooooooo. Dude, your in deep shit."

We both looked wide eyed at Jack who had not spoken or lifted his head out of a book for 2 years straight now. Then I got over it and looked back at his un fortunate twin.

"Yeah, he's right."

And punched him right in the jaw, knocking him out.

"You know where it is?" "3rd drawer on the left, right on top." "Thanks Jack." "Yup." "I think this is the most you've spoke in your entire life." "Yup."

And with that he turned the page in his book, I grabbed my eyeliner and walked out of the room. Once I had made my way back to my room, I got ready for another day. I picked out my clothes, showered and dressed. A black shirt with a batman logo on it, red skinny jeans, my black fez, and my knee high 'Abby' boots. Abby from NCIS. These had buckles on them. I had a thick rim of eyeliner and was good to go.

"Amy! Anna!" "Yea?!" "Where we going today?!" "What? Do we not get included?!"

I turned around to see Danny and Jack ready to go, Jack once again silently absorbed in his book.

"Sure. Why not. Your brother still knocked out?"

A nod.

"Good."

I then walked to the kitchen and saw breakfast already made.

"Thank you Amy!" "Welcome." "I helped too!" "Thank you Amy and Anna. So how 'bout Pyro Fang?" "Nah, lets got to... Bleeding Heart!" "Ok."

Just then the phone rang. This week was my turn to answer it.

"God Damn it! I'm eating pancakes!"

I picked it up.

"Hello?" "Hello. May I speak to Ms. April Black?" "Speaking." "Ah. Yes, Ms.Black, we have something to speak to you about. The matter is important." "Can I call you back? I'm kinda eating right now. DANNY STAY AWAY FROM MY PANCAKES! I'LL WOOP YOUR SORRY ASS! Sorry. Can I call you back?" "Of course Ms.Black."

And then she hung up. I walked over to Danny and slapped him on the back of the head.

"My pancakes."

He sighed.

"Common. Share! We know Amy always gives you the best pancakes!" "Not true!"

Everyone but me looked at Amy like 'really? are you kidding?' I was the youngest of the group. 17. Anna 18, Danny 18, the twins both 18 and Amy 19. The door then opened and I did not expect what I saw.

Unwanted visitors.... how pleasent

One word. One word was all I spoke. "Dad." Then a sentence. "Dad. Mother. Why are you here?" There was no 'Oh hello, how are you I missed you!' no. They were people I never wanted to see again. "Just stopping for a visit." He had a bright, smug smile like he owned the joint, which he didn't. "Your not welcome here, to visit. Get out. Now." The last part was a growl. I would not have these monsters in my house. Trying to fix me when there was nothing wrong. They then would punish me for no reason. I never understood them. "Oh, but why sweetie?" They must of found out I had gotten money. "Because I said I never wanted to see you again you disgusting bottom feeders!" This time it was all a growl and both Danny and Amy were holding me back. "Awww, but honey we love you!" "No you don't! Your both just fucking assholes and bottom feeders! Get the hell out now, before I make you!" It was a snarl. My father snorted and my mother laughed. "As if you could!" "Watch me." My face was set dead in stone as my friends backed away. I walked foward, power and dominace in my walk and the way I stood. I punched each in the face once, then twice, then a third time before throwing them, literally out the door and locking it. Then I yelled, well more like roared as I pounded the door, slowly sliding down. My fez was over on the other side of the room. I just sat there. I wasn't hungry anymore. I slowly stood up. "Oh crap, she's going quiet again! Uh, fuck! Danny say something!" "April, are you alright?" A simple nod. I grabbed my hat and my keys. Jingleing them for a sign to come along. Then I grabbed my coat. Which any other day I would have gone on forever about. It's not any other day. It's trench coat that goes down to my ankles and the kneck meets my hat. It's pure black with studs around the edges and on the kneck. I opened the door and walked into the now pouring rain. What a perfect coincidence. I slowly walked to the car. Everything was like that. Slow motion. My brain was having a hard time processing the information around it. It seemed to take an eternity to get to the car, but it only took a few seconds. I opened the driver door to the beautiful, sleek, black truck. I stepped inside and started it, waiting for them all to get in. Once they were all in I started it up and drove to the bleeding heart. It was the same here as it was going to the car. Everything was in slow motion. A hard time processing. I watched my friends, family I should say, break off and go in different directions. Like my heart too many times before. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. A message from James. "Were r u guys? There's some people here to see you." "Be right there." I hit send and gave the keys to Danny. They all looked at me funny. Then my mind began processing again. I turned around and ran. I ran as fast as I could, which was damned fast. I jumped and leaped over obstacles, my coat flying behind me like wings. I ran until I reached the house. I slowly turned the knob, knowing that if THEY were in there I had to be ready to fight. But it wasn't them. It was teenagers all dressed in black skin suits with an older female as their leader. They all surounded her and their heads snapped towards me at once. I stanced myself for I fight. I needed this.

Fighting people in black suits... good stress reliver

I stood my ground as they came towards me. Why the fuck were these people here?! I saw James tied up and motherly insicnt kicked in. See I may be the ninja and the raven, but I was a very motherly person and all my friends were my family and my insitics kick in with them. Fist person that came at me I kicked him across the face, then swooped underneath him, making him fall. Then I knocked him out and went to the next. This one was a girl with a smirk. I smirked back and did the approach she least expected. I punched her in the face twice then kicked her in thr stomach, knocking her out. Two down, six to go. The remaining six attacked and I smiled. I was soooo ready. I took two of the girls heads and smashed them together, then the same with the boys. Then I smashed a girl and boy together.....that sounded soooo wrong. I then kicked each one in the face sending them flying, and unconcious. I then walked towards the woman, who looked up. I facked a puch to the face and then side swept her, landing onto of her, then actually punching her and knocking her out. I then grabbed a bunch of chains from the basement and when James looked, I just told him to not ask. Once I had them all chained up seperatly, I unchained James and then puched one of the grunts in the face. I then went over to a big burley
