The near death experience

[Jodi]

Jodi got off the bus and glanced up and down the street a soft smile on her lips. She stepped aside for someone no one else but her could see then turned around as the bus drove off. Her eyes darted across the huge sky scrapers her hand hooked around her bag. "New york New york..." She glanced to her side where her mother and father had been for a few months now. But she was alone.

She heard a child laugh behind her and turned around to see him running after a bouncing ball. She went cold when she realised where the ball was going. A car was comming. The little boy. She dashed after him and froze in the exact spot he had been when he was killed. He inturn gave her his fear... his images... his memories.

The car's horn blared at the girl in the middle of the road but Jodi was frozen. He would not let her move. All she could do was a stare like a deer caught in the head lights....

[Jamie/Jasper]

Jasper came running out of nowhere and slammed his hands on the front of the car, causing it to crumpled back on it's frame until it exploded. The person inside had bailed out a long time ago when it had seen the girl in the street.He had been in a shop when he had seen her dash into the street with a fearful expression on his face. He hooked his hands underneath the girls arms and took her to the sidewalk on the other half of the street. People were starting to gather around what was left of the car and starting to talk about the strange thing that he had done to make it stop. Soon they would find out that he was a mutant and follow him back to the orhapnage. Quickly dashing into a store, he leaned against the wall and grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently to break her out of her fear. "Are you alright miss?"

[Jodi]

Jodi frowned being shoke and blinked up at him. She pushed away and hurried to the window placing her hands flat on the glass. "The little boy..." She cried then say him standing across the street his ball tucked under his arm waving at her. She sighed and dropped her gaze. A spirit. It was just a spirit. She looked up again but he was gone. She gulped and saw the comotion she had caused then turned to her rescuer. "I'm sorry..." The people in the store started to mutter to one another glancing at her and the boy that she knew now was her kind.

She suddenly felt an arm on her wrist and Glanced down. She jerked when she saw the young boy beside her. He smiled up at her. Follow me... He said play fully then laughed and rushed down the Isle towards the back of the store. Jodi glanced back at the guy before her and thought for a moment deciding wether to trust the boy or not then rushed forward and grabbed the guys hand dragging him after the boy. "We have to get out of here." She called back.

The backdoor was flung open by the spirit boy. The store's owner began to protest but she was through the back door before he could stop them. She stopped in the backroom and listened. "Now what?" She asked. There was a click in the far end of the room as if a door was being unlocked. Jodi smiled. This way... She heard the whisper. Then saw a door open near the corner of the storage room. "This way..." She repeated the boys words and hurried through the storage room and through the door which lead to an Alleyway. She glanced around the desserted alleyway then jumped as the door they had just come through slammed shut and she heard it lock. She turned and was face to face with her rescuer. The little boys laugh and the bouncing ball echoed down the alleyway and into silence...

[Jamie/Jasper]

He felt extremly strange following this girl that he just saved, who't see. was following something else that he couldn't see. He could hear footsteps behind him, and he ran faster until he grabbed her arm. "What's going on? Why are we running?' That was a stupid question. He had just disentergrated a car infront of half of New York. Of Course they would be running! He let go of her and stepped back and wiped his hand through his hair. "What's your name?"
