BackDated to Sept 30: Thread: Jadyn and Pollux
Who: Jadyn and Pollux
What: Jadyn tracks a strange scent
When: September 30, 2011 Late Evening
Where: All around town
Warnings: Language
Jadyn stepped out of the mouth of the alley, flicking her lighter open to light the cigarette between her lips. She tilted her head, sucking on it twice before snapping her lighter closed and putting it back in her pocket. She glanced around the deserted street, her eyes skipping over the cop car parked in front of the hair styling store she’d just vacated.
She’d been looking for hair dye, and broken into the store’s back window almost fifteen minutes ago. She hadn’t realized that she’d tripped the silent alarm until two police officers entered from the front, their flashlight beams scanning across the store. They’d called out to see if anyone was there and she had briefly wondered if anyone really answered that question when they were obviously somewhere they shouldn’t be.
She’d intended to just sneak around them and out the back again but just as she was walking past the last aisle, one of the flashlight beams landed on her and the officer yelled for her to ‘Freeze!’, alerting his partner in the process. Jadyn had only smirked, deciding that she wanted to play after all, faking to the left before swiftly jumping to the right and back into the dark. After that, it was so easy for her to take them down, she almost felt disappointed that there had only been two of them. And she still hadn’t gotten the dye she’d been looking for in the first place.
Inhaling deeply on her cigarette, she held the smoke in her lungs for long seconds before releasing it in heavy sigh. What now? That was when she smelt it. A scent that hadn’t been there just a few seconds ago. It reminded her of the woods that surrounded the Hospice, a heavy oak smell, which she thought was odd since she was standing in the middle of a town. But there was more to it. There were traces of mahogany and walnut to go along with the thick oak smell, which she supposed wasn’t too strange if she looked past the fact that it was kind of out of place. But it was all tinged with the smell of burnt electrical wires. Jadyn’s brows furrowed, turning her head directly to her left as she wondered where the odd smell had come from.
Pol was all over. The best way to move around town was his power. He popped from one place to another in an instant only leaving a faint burnt ozone that he rarely noticed because it was left in the place he disappeared. He had a few favorite spot, outside Dave’s house where his brother always seemed to be, the quarry far from the sounds of Lima, over on the edge of Lake Superior, up to the top of what counted as a sky scraper in Columbus, and finally at the back step of his Grandparent’s house. He was getting good control over himself, able to go greater distances, appear only a few inches above the ground instead of falling as he had the first few times.
Jadyn growled to herself as the strange scent she’d been smelling all night, disappeared again. It’d been popping up all over town, before vanishing just as quickly the whole night, which annoyed her to no end. The first time, she’d ignored it, but after the third time of the scent randomly appearing and hijacking her train of thought, Jadyn decided it was time to find out what was going on.
The scent appeared again, oak and ozone, and she quickly turned to look over her shoulder, in the direction the smell was coming from. It was much closer than it had been the entire night, and she didn’t waste any time stalking towards it.
He was being followed. It was a little hard to tell, but this time he was pretty sure he’d seen that girl before. She was sniffing around where he’d vanished from not moments before. He blinked and suddenly he was behind her. “Why are you following me?”
The hair on the back of her neck rose at the sudden appearance of someone behind her, the only outward acknowledgment her body gave. So, it had been a person the whole time. That was interesting.
“You smell.” She stated, keeping her eyes straight ahead.
“How interesting.” He rolled his eyes at the strange woman. “I also see and hear. Are there any other senses you wish to inform me of?”
Jadyn turned around at the stranger’s unexpectedly sarcastic reply, wanting to get a look at him. They were about the same height and his hair was also blond, although shorter and much darker than hers. He looked almost as annoyed as she felt, which she thought was funny since she was the one that had been walking all over town looking for him.
“How do you keep disappearing and reappearing so quickly?”
“To get places faster. The normal question is how do you do that.”
Jadyn’s eyes narrowed.
“How do you do that?” She grounded out.
“I Blink and think about being somewhere else and I’m there.” He spoke calmly, like someone asked him how to ride a bike.
Just like Jaime. She thought. Only the boy in front of her was able to move instantly instead of needing to create a portal. Still, that didn’t explain how the other boy was able to do it. Did it have anything to do with the things she and Jaime could do as well? Was he connected to them or was it something else? Would it somehow affect her and more importantly, her brother? She needed to know.
“But how are you able to do that?”
“I’m special. I’m one of the chosen few. So are you. How else could you track me like that?”
Jadyn scoffed. “The chosen few? And I told you already, you smell. That’s how I found you.”
“We were given powers. I’m not sure why but I know this is a reason. We have to do some good for the world with them. Build a new home where those we love can be safe and free...” Pol wasn’t really talking for her. He had been thinking about using this power to take him and Cas somewhere nicer, somewhere gentler to his innocent twin.
Jadyn’s resulting laugh was full of derision. What had the world ever done for her? Nothing but toss her in a mad house and try to throw away the key. But Jaime hadn’t let them. No. She didn’t owe the world anything. As for a ‘new home’, she didn’t want one. She liked her old one just fine and the only one she truly needed was Jaime.
“That sounds nice and all, but I think I’ll pass.” She answered, her expression blank. She turned away from him. She’d gotten her answer, and it had nothing to do with her or Jaime, therefore, she had nothing else to say to him.
“So you’re happy in this world? What do you think they will do once they find out you have special gifts? Just let you be? What about your loved ones, your brother. You think you can protect him?” Yes he had seem Jaime at the school, but unlike most people he knew instantly that this was not that person. He couldn’t tell you how or why, but he knew this person was a twin.
Jadyn couldn’t help her snarl and instantly she was back in the boy’s face.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about. Jaime and I are just fine. He’ll be safe, I’ll make sure he stays safe.”
Pollux stood completely still, not intimidated by her anger. He recognized it. “And when he leaves you? And he will. My Twin is leaving me. Seduce by this new place, new people. Soon he won’t let you protect him.”
“That will never happen. Not Jaime. It sucks that your brother is doing it to you but Jaime wouldn’t do that to me. We’re all each other’s got.” She answered confidently. She didn’t care what this stranger thought. He was wrong.
“When you lose him, come find me.” blink all that remained as the scent of oak, walnut and ozone.
Jadyn glared at the spot the boy had just disappeared from. He just seemed so sure about what he’d said. So certain that Jaime would leave her, but he was wrong. He had to be. She couldn’t let herself believe anything else. She couldn’t start thinking that Jaime was leaving her alone in the dark. It would be the end of her.
