Original X-roads-2003

    “You couldn’t have picked a better place to jump to?” I complained to Jabetto, but he was confused as I was as to why we stood here.
    Sertoff tossed a jumper identical to ours on the table beside the bed.
    “Oh.” Jabetto remarked.
    I turned and started walking out.
    “Where have you been Jasylin?” Sertoff remarked coldly.
    I stopped and turned around, “Like it’s any of your business.”
    “How many nights did you spend with Jonothan?” his tone was cold and flat, I noticed his unsheathed sword sitting beside the bed, well within reach.
    “You don’t know?” I muttered.
    With that he reached for his sword, it glowed bright white as I pushed the button on the other jumper and ended up back on Lam.
    There was a flash of bright light behind me, I jerked away from him as I turned around. The sword came at me full force but I got away. He was coming at me too fast though I soon lost my footing and fell to the ground. In a flash he jammed the sword straight down. He had pinned me to the ground by my skirt, the hilt was all the way against the dirt. I jerked to get away but it was no use, the skirt I’m wearing is tough leather, it’ll never give way.
    He just stood there breathing heavily watching me.
    I reached for the jumper, turning the dial upward and hit the button.
