Part 1:
A Black Knights Story
It was 5 years ago. The voice came from the darkness of the room.
It happened on a school field trip. It was a woman's voice coming
from the dark. It changed my life forever.
A light came on in the room showing a young 19 year old woman.
Jamy?!, Jamy Louger!? A 14 year old girl with dirty blonde hair with blue eyes was
nudging a half awake young also 14 year old brunette with green eyes. That was
napping on a bus seat half drooling off to the edge. Then she nudged her again.
Ah!? what.... what? Said a still half a sleep Jamy Louger.
You were drooling. Said the the young blonde.
Thanks Nela , you know i was getting some good sleep since last night I
didn't get to get any. I wonder now who was it that kept me up all last night calling me
about the felid trip that we had to wake up at one o'clock in the morning for? Said Jamy
starting to close her eyes again.
Jamy,Jamy,Jamy,as BFF's were supposed to call each other before
the most important field trip of the year. Said Nela.
Said the girl that is playing the princess, ya know I don't see the big deal. All were
doing is going to preform some stupid medieval play in front of a lot of people..... wait
why am I doing this again? Jamy said thinking of why she was doing this again.
Because you play the role of captain of all the knights remember. Said Nela as if it
was important .
And.... Said Jamy waiting for some thing to be added to her non complete
sentence.
And who ever gets voted best actor in the play gets a giant
solid gold trophy with the world's last black pearl on it. Said Nela looking into space.
Most likely imagining that trophy in her hands.
Jamy already knew that she wouldn't win but she didn't want to crush her best friends
spirits since she was half day dreaming that she was holding that trophy too.
But she couldn't help feeling left out maybe even a little lonely. She had been looking
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
forward to this play since the middle school drama team had been told 2 months ago
that they were going to New York,New York to preform their medieval play
The Black Knight. What made her excited was that she would get to see New York
for the first time. But she was really tired and decided to go back to sleep since Nela
looked distracted with her very narrow minded day dream.
Wake up,wake up were here!! Shouted Nela. Jamy opened her eyes and what she
saw you could say gave her a sugar rush. It was amazing to her since where she lived
was technically like small vile. The lights , the people, the ......cars. They were in a traffic
jam. The bus wasn't moving at all. But she wouldn't even care if time its self were
standing still. She was starring at the group of men coming out of a bar. Mostly at the
young handsome blonde one in the group.
I like the one with the mustache can't have a good looking guy with out a stache
know what am sayin. said Nela looking out the window. Jamy glared at her then
couldn't keep a strait face any longer she started to laugh out loud.
No I don't know what your sayin home skillet. Jamy tried to say through her laughter.
Home skillet!? said Nela also laughing.
We will be arriving at the hotel in 30 minutes. Said the teacher at the front of the bus.
More like 2 hours if you ask me. Said Jamy silently laughing.
Yeah if we don't get out of this traffic we won't be able to get any sleep before practice
tomorrow. And just as Nela said that the traffic almost disappeared.
Hey!? What are you magic you should have said that thirty minutes ago my skins
melting into my seat its so hot. Jamy said also wondering why the school had to wait
until the summer to send them on this marry go round of a trip she was already
nauseous and was also ready to tell the guy who smells like nachos that she wanted off.
But unfortunately this marry go ride isn't maned by a guy that smells like nachos nor is it
as fun mostly work and in return mostly puick from stage fright.
Well it seems my work is done here. Said Nela blowing on her finger nails and wiping
them on her shirt.
30 minutes later Jamy and Nela were in there suite at the hotel that the school had
booked. Luckily Jamy and Nela were what they liked to call bunk buddies. There was
two beds both queen sized and a large HD TV in the middle of the room also a mini
fridge. And in the bath room a large round bath tube and a room connected to the bath
room that was the shower. As well as a large window to the right of the beds with a
couch under neath it. But even though the beautifulness of the room would have
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
shocked any they were looking at the phone placed on one of the draws next to the
lamp. Remembering what there teacher said since we didn't get to stop to eat
you can all order room service but don't order so much you'll get sick am going to need
all of my little actors in top condition.
But of course they stuffed themselves then took a shower and went to bed well Nela
went to bed Jamy spent most of the night in the huge window looking down on the
streets of New York wondering what the fist day of practice that next day would bring.
That morning Jamy had been awaken by the sun light through the window that she had
ca lapsed on , she had fallen a sleep while she was still looking out the window.
Nela was already awake and munching on some early morning chocolate covered
donuts.
I saved some chocolate donuts for you I know there your fav said Nela waving a
donut in Jamy's face. Jamy grabbed the donut from her hand and ate it all in one
gulp. After wards had a very sticky chocolate covered face.
Am going to take a shower ok when I get out that TV should be on channel 3 got it.
said jamy picking up clothes for that day.
Eye,eye captain Said Nela saluting Jamy while she started to close the bath room
door. Then Nela turned on the TV and it was already on channel 3 the news channel.
Tonight at 11 bridge in universal park collapses for no reason 255 people dead
circular burn marks found on bridge more at 11. Says a lady on the TV from
channel 3.
Mmmm ..... I wonder what the burn marks were? What do you think Jamy?
Said Nela shouting over the shower.
I don't know. Jamy said turning the water in the shower off. Jamy took the towel off of
the towel rack beside her after stepping out of the shower room.
Sounds interesting though remind me after practice today when we get back so
we can watch and see if they figured out what caused it. Nela said still shouting.
Ok. Said Jamy agreeing with Nela about it being interesting. And some how had a
tingling feeling that what happened at that bridge was no accident of course then
again it mite be that donut she ate giving her that feeling.
Then Jamy thought oh well properly just being paranoid.
About 2 minutes later all of the actors for the black knight play were called to the lobby,
so they could load the buses to go to were the play would be held.
Jamy was sleep walking almost in the elevator still tired from sleeping on a window.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Jamy! wake up were on the first floor! Nela shouted. Jamy opened her eyes to see
that the elevator door was open and a group of people were waiting for them to get
out so they could get in.
She got out of the elevator along with Nela and headed toward their drama teacher.
Ok, children its time to load the buses. Said the teacher with the low mellow voice she
had. So they started to load the buses Nela and Jamy sat in the second seat to the
right. Jamy sat next to the window and Nela sat next to her and started talking to the girl
in the seat next to her. Even though Jamy was sitting right beside Nela she didn't hear
a single word she said , the reason why was she had been looking out the window
and when Jamy Louger is looking out the window it could only mean two things;
either she was a sleep or......... She is day dreaming.
Hey? Said Nela
What? Replied Jamy.
What do you think it will look like? Said Nela in a lower tone.
What what will look like? Said Jamy.
The place where were going to do our play where else . Said Nela.
Jamy swore she thought she was talking about something else.
Oh , well I bet it will look really cool I don't doubt that.
Guess you'll just have to wait and see. Jamy had said smiling to cover up her thoughts.
About an hour later.......
Jamy finally saw to what she guessed to be what their teacher called the opera house
where she said they would preform their play.
All right every one were here. Said the drama teacher.
Which is kinda of obvious , how could any one not see the huge black shiny
building next to the water. Jamy had thought.
Hey were here. Said Nela.
Thank you captain obvious. Jamy had said in her mind.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
The all of the drama class finally got off the bus and started toward the building.
Nela and Jamy walked through the huge black glassed doors and in to the main
room which was the size of The Natural History Museum all on its own.
It had a huge coke machine in it and a snack bar and a pair of really nice clean
bathrooms. Then they went to go see the stage which was even bigger.
Jamy looked through the curtains of the stage to see where the audience
would set, it was the biggest room in the building. Jamy imagined that that room was
filled with people , she started to feel sick. Then Nela came over as if she sinced
her thoughts of sickness.
Oh its not that bad. Said Nela patting Jamy on her back. I bet not
half those seats will be filled on the night of the play. Jamy appreciated
the fact Nela was trying to make her feel better but she doubted
that only half the seats will be taken. Their had been advertisements
about the play for about 2 months.
Then Jamy had a feeling that she was being watched. She usually had a feeling
of these things Nela called it her sixth sense or some times she calls it her prof
that she was an alien, but she just said that for fun.
Jamy slowly turned around and instead of Nela standing behind her a man
probably around 46 had greased back gray hair weird reddish brown eyes
and a weird expression on his face kind of a smile that made Jamy think he was a
.serial get rider offer' and yet some thing about his face was familiar.
Hello there are you the young woman playing as the captain of the knights?
Said the very creepy old man.
Umm, yes Said Jamy holding back a scream. Then the drama teacher came up to
the old man.
Oh... Mr. Ravencroft. Said the drama teacher. I have to thank you for allowing us to
preform in the opera house its truly an honor. Mr. Ravencroft seemed very happy that
the drama class was able to preform, but for a second Jamy could have sworn that
while Mr. Ravencroft was talking to the drama teacher that he kept looking at her
out of the corner of his eyes. After that they started to practice their lines.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Where for out thou my love ...... um ah what was after that ? Said Nela forgetting her
lines. The bright stage lights were turned off then the guy with the script went up there
to help her. Jamy was back stage watching Nela but also was watching Mr. Ravencroft
out of the corner of her eye if she didn't know better Mr. Ravencroft was looking at the
sand bags right above her, but she was probably just being paranoid.
She was almost ready for her turn to practice her lines on stage but some thing
kept her from going out there she didn't know what was keeping her back.
Then a person in a large trench coat walked in to the auditorium and set down in the
last row some how Jamy sensed this person when he or she walked in.
Then Jamy swallowed whatever was holding her back and went on stage.
The lights came on aimed at her, they were very bright Jamy couldn't see any thing
then all of a sudden a sand bag fell from the sky. The last thing Jamy saw was
Mr. Ravencroft with a pocket knife next to a rope right above her then she blacked out.
Jamy?! JAMY?! Jamy opened her eyes and saw Nela screaming.
Ah what ....... stop screaming am awake just make the room stop spinning.
A doctor came up to the bed Jamy was sitting in.
She'll be fine she just needs some rest. The doctor said.
Thank goodness I was so worried that you might die or some thing. Said Nela
You need to stop watching those stupid medical soap operas they
make you over think things it might make your brain explode. Said Jamy
being sarcastic.
Well since you didn't get to study your lines today I trust you will study tonight
in the hotel. Said the drama teacher also standing next to Jamy.
Yes of course. Jamy said so her drama teacher wouldn't get on her case.
Then after that the drama teacher , Nela, and Jamy took a taxi back to the hotel.
Then back at the hotel.....
Nela it was Mr. Ravencroft that cut the rope to the sand bag that hit me in the head
I think he is trying to get rid of me or some thing. Jamy said to Nela as if she was
worried he would hear her.
Man either you got hit harder on the head then I thought or your really being paranoid.
Said Nela actually looking more worried then caring about paranoia.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Look maybe you should lie down or some thing your starting to scare me.
Even though Jamy did have to admit that even to her what she said sounded far
fetched, but her friends caring voice made her feel safer.
All right maybe your right I am just being paranoid and maybe I should lie down
am feeling light headed as it is, thanks. Jamy had meant what she said but
she was still worried also she had a feeling she forgot some thing.
You know that guy is creepy I'd understand why you would think he was trying
to get rid of you but why would he want to get rid of you of all people come on it wouldn't
make any sense. Said Nela trying to think of a reason why he would want to get rid of
Jamy. But then again he mite just be one of those guys who likes brunettes with
green eyes. Then Nela saw Jamy sulking when she started to sit down on the bed.
Well hey if Mr. Ravencroft really is trying to get rid of you ... you know good and well
that I'll stand beside you no matter what, because no creepy old man is going to
split up the Nela and Jamy crew. Then Nela went up to Jamy and wrapped
her arm around her , but Jamy was still sulking. Ok ok the Jamy and Nela crew shesh
you sure are picky. Then Jamy started to perk up a little. But seriously you know
no matter what I'll always be right there beside you... right. Then Nela started to shake
Jamy. Right!
Right right I know I was just trying to remember something. Said Jamy trying to think
of what she forgot. Then Jamy got in her thinking position which is her lying down
looking at the ceiling.Now I remember! A person in a trench coat walked in and set
down in the audience before I went on and got smacked in the side of the head
with a sand bag. Then Nela got up and started walking toward the bathroom.
I don't remember any one walking in to the audience you must have dreamed it.
Even though Nela's words seemed truthful Jamy was sure she saw a person in the
audience. If she was sure of anything at that moment it was that she saw that person
in the audience.
Maybe we should just go to bed am tired any way. Said Jamy yawning trying to
get Nela to go to sleep.
Alright. Said Nela also starting to yawn. Nela headed into the bathroom to
change into her p.j.'s , then Jamy went to go change into hers and they both headed to
bed.
Around 2:30 a.m. ...........
Jamy opened one eye pretending to be asleep. She checked if Nela was awake.
When she found out that Nela was sound asleep she got out of bed grabbed the lab top
computer that she had brought with her. She had thought herself lucky at the fact that
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
the hotel she was staying in had free Wi-Fi.
And Nela said that it was a waste of time lugging this thing around. Jamy whispered to
her self.
Jamy headed toward the bathroom where she closed the door and turned on the light.
She took a seat , and turned on her lab top.
She googled the name Ravencroft and hoped to find some answers.
What she found was interesting but not helpful.
She started to read what she found in a low whisper.
The Ravencroft's ancestors to Lord Ravencroft of Camelot the man who challenged
the black knight but was, well gotten rid of so to speak. Then Jamy was really curious
and googled her own name. Lets find out why he is trying to get rid of me of all people.
She started to read what was on the page she found.
Mistress Louger the air to the Louger fortune, Father was supposedly deceased by
the plague. Also tried to become a knight of the round because of her father
being the Great James Louger Knight of the Round. But was declined because she was
a female , Also known for the fact that the great Lord Ravencroft asked for
her hand in marriage and she refused him.
This interested Jamy. Maybe he wanted revenge on her for
their ancestors not getting married. She thought.
Jamy started to yawn and felt tired so she made up her mind and decided to head to
bed and continue on this in the morning.
Wake up sleepy captain of the knights of round , come on were going to be late.
Nela had grabbed Jamy's legs and tried to pull her out of bed. Boom!!
Jamy hit the floor face first.
I take back what I said last night it's you that is going to be the de....
Jamy took a second to think in the middle of her sentence. What time is it ?
Jamy started to stare down Nela.
About oh I don't know 7:35 A.M.! Nela replied yelling out the end of her sentence.
Oh butter fingers!! Shouted Jamy getting up so fast it literally made Nela spin.
Do you want any breakfast if you hurry we could head down to that restaurant
on the third floor I heard their breakfast funnel cakes are really good 5 stars in fact.
Then when Jamy heard the words funnel cake she ran so fast her skin mite have came
off.
Then she grabbed Nela's arm and ran strait to the elevator .
Came on slow poke funnel cakes are waiting. said Jamy getting in the elevator and
punched the button with the three on it like crazy.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
5 minutes later in the restaurant on third floor ......
Two fresh funnel cakes please ... no wait make that three fresh funnel cakes and some
chocolate dip. Said Jamy to the waiter taking orders.
Coming right up. Said the waiter heading back to the kitchen.
Three fresh funnel cakes and some chocolate dip how many pounds are you hiding
under there. Said Nela almost laughing at Jamy's huge sweet tooth.
Hey its not my fault that they offer free chocolate dip with a third funnel cake
its a deal I couldn't refuse. Said Jamy with a shrug and a smile on her face.
Then some thing happened that neither Jamy nor Nela saw coming.
Mr. Ravencroft appeared out of nowhere and sat right next to Jamy.
Hello children are you having a good time. Said Mr. Ravencroft
with a cheap see through smile.
But at that very moment inside Jamy's head it was like the apocalypse she didn't know
wether to scream, kick him, run away, or maybe just explode. But even though it was
chaos in her mind she still kept a cool head ( well sort of ).
Oh hi Mr. Ravencroft. Said Jamy with perhaps a to big of a smile.
Then Mr. Ravencroft starred at Jamy for a matter of seconds as if he was reading her
mind.
Oh Jamy I heard about what happened to you yesterday are you alright? Said
Mr. Ravencroft as if he cared.
He is a good actor I'll give him that, Jamy said in her mind.
Oh I am fine no need to worry about little old me, then Jamy had an idea.Oh but
what worries me is that some one told me that the rope holding that sand bag up
had cut marks on it as if some one wanted it to fall on me.
Said Jamy trying not to make it not seem as if she knew it was him but make it seem
that she did know the rope was cut.
Oh well we'll just have to find out who did that so we can bring them to justice. Said
Ravencroft. Then he shrugged and smiled and reached for the flowers in the middle of
the table. Such beautiful flowers are they not. He sniffed the flowers then put them
back but when he started to put them back when his sleeve went over Jamy's drink
something slipped out of it. It looked to be white powder , poison. Then Mr. Ravencroft
left but out of the corner of Jamy's eye she saw Mr. Ravencroft hide behind the bush at
the entrance. Then the funnel cakes arrived.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Oh well I wasn't thirsty any way. Shouted Jamy hoping Mr. Ravencroft would hear.
Then her plan worked Mr. Ravencroft left from hiding in the bushes.
What's a matter with you shouting into the sky like that have you gone crazy
and plus wasting a perfectly good drink like that if you don't drink it I will.
Said Nela grabbing Jamy's glass.
No! Jamy slapped the glass out of her hands and it fell on the ground.
At that instant when the glass and the liquid inside of it fell to the ground
the shag blue carpet started to fizz and the liquid created a hole in the blue shag carpet.
Ok maybe your not crazy and maybe some one is trying to get rid of you.
Then the intercom came on.
All drama students head to the buses now head to the buses now that is all thank
you.
Then Jamy looked at the perfectly good not eaten funnel cakes and felt sad,
then Nela followed her gaze.
You were nearly killed and your worried about funnel cakes.
Said Nela looking at her as if she was crazy.
Well since I am alife lets take them with us.
Said Jamy starting to smile because of her brilliant plan.
Nela started to sigh as if she didn't know her friend was already crazy.
Alright well take it with us and eat it for lunch. Ah miss we need a dogie bag.
Said Nela caving and waving down a waiter.
Then Jamy and Nela started toward the buses .
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Ok Jamy its you turn. Said the drama teacher. Then Jamy stepped out on the platform
and just like the other day there was a person in the auditorium with a trench coat but
unlike the other day Jamy told herself that that person wasn't there.
I captain of the knights of round say to all that the black knight is m .......
Then Jamy remembered what she had heard yesterday morning.
Bridge clasped burn marks on bridge more tonight at 11.
She had forgotten about the news report .
I wonder if they ever figured out what happened, thought Jamy.
Then her mind wondered back to the person in the trench coat.
I wonder. She said whispering to herself.
Did you forget your line. Said the drama teacher.
Oh yea . Said Jamy hoping that the drama teacher didn't notice that she had been
talking to herself. Then she ran off stage into the audience after the trench coat person.
But when she got to the seat where that person sat they were gone.
Then Jamy ran out side to see if she could catch the trench coat person.
Hey you with the trench coat come back here. But it was no use the person had done
and gone. After Jamy finally admitted defeat she headed back to the auditorium and
looked at the seat where that person had set. Then at the corner of her eye she caught
some thing a strand of hair it must have belonged to the trench coat person.
It was a soft silky brown strand of hair that means that the trench coat person was
a women but for an instant she had thought that strand of hair matched hers but
it was to oily. Just then Jamy realized what she had just done the drama teacher was
standing right above her grinding her teeth.
Where did you go just now and who told you you could leave this building?
Said the drama teacher very sternly.
I did. Said Mr. Ravencroft appearing from no where. I asked her to go get some
thing for me didn't I Jamy. He looked back at her as if he wanted some thing.
Yeah I was just getting some thing for him thats all. Said Jamy wondering why he
bailed her out.
All right but .... The drama teacher's sentence got cut short by Mr. Ravencroft.
Um if you don't mind I'd like to barrow Mr. Jamy again do you mind? When Mr.
Ravencroft said this Jamy couldn't help but scream in her mind.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Oh as long as you need her Mr. Ravencroft. Said the drama teacher with a smile.
Um Mr. Ravencroft what was it that you wanted to talk to me about? Said Jamy
praying that she wasn't fixing to face extermination.
Don't act dumb Mr. Louger you know who I am and what I am trying to do.
Right then Jamy had one of those hasn't this already happened moments before but
she couldn't figure out why.
Yes Mr. Ravencroft I do but I just have one question for you. Jamy said this with the
upmost confidence.
Yes what is it. Said Mr. Ravencroft as if he was addressing a comrade.
Why me ? Said Jamy wondering if even there was an answer to that question.
There is three reasons one: It is your fate.
Two: Because your the only one who can challenge me.
And most importantly third: Because you were chosen.
I was chosen what could that mean, thought Jamy in her mind.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 2:
Reality:
to be the hero or not to be?
As Jamy Louger pondered this she came across the fact that Mr. Ravencroft started to
look at his fist.
Just wait till the curtains open then the fun will really begin. Mr. Ravencroft had
regained the sinister look on his face that he had when they first meant.
What!? Said Jamy tilting her head.
Just wait. said Mr. Ravencroft picking up his fist and knocking Jamy out cold.
About an hour later.........
Jamy was starting to come to.
Aw man I should of saw that coming am so stupid. As soon as Jamy was done with
her ranting she finally realized where she was.
Why did he set me back here? She was lying in one of the auditorium chairs.
Hey, your awake. Said Nela starring at Jamy with a tilted head.
So what happened?
What what happened? Said Jamy still dizzy from a k.o. .
What!? Said Nela now more confused then ever.
What what what. Said Jamy just enjoying seeing Nela being confused.
Nela started to shake her head to shake off the confusion.
Now that thats over ... I meant what happened between you and Mr. Ravencroft?
Oh nothing much... Then Jamy thought in her mind what happened and the more she
thought about it the more angry she got.He freckin k.o.ed me thats what happened
I cant believe that old man got past my senses I should have seen that coming
the next time I see that old man I am gonna punch him one!
Well the next time you see him you'll be on the stage. Said Nela.
As soon as she said that some thing inside Jamy clicked.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
When the curtains go up. Jamy had thought it out in her mind to her this little game of
guess who and clue was getting out of hand and really she didn't want to play any more
because she knew that this wasn't a game it was real.
And in the real world good guys don't always win and she didn't have any secrete
powers to save the day with and sooner or later some one would get hurt.
With Jamy's head held down and her eyes being in the shadows she said.
I give up he can have his stupid check mate on this stupid game of chess I could never
win at chess any way my dad always beat me so I give up I'm done with this.
But Jamy you can't give up. Nela started to stare at Jamy again but this time with
bright eyes.
Because if you can't get rid of this guy who can and if you run away he'll just go after
some one else if the alien can't bet him no one can. She was smiling at Jamy with
shining eyes. But Jamy didn't hear her because her mind was just crowded with black
clouds. But after looking at her she could just guess what she said.
YOU ! You think this is just some cartoon where the hero always triumphs over evil
well it's not am no hero I don't have powers I ... reality doesn't work like that people that
pretend to be hero's and run after a guy that over powers them ten to one just because
they think its right ... well wake up people like that get killed. Jamy shouted with all her
might. Then she ran out the big glass door to the real world a cold ,dark, rainy world full
of evil but barley any good because the good all was dies in the end.
At least thats what she thought.
Jamy had started to tear up and every time she wiped the tears from her eyes.
She was kinda glad that it was raining that way no one knew that she was crying.
Even though it was summer it was so cold she could see her breath.
But the cold did not slow her down her thoughts kept her moving forward
and for a fourteen year old girl she had a lot to think about.
For one she had a crazy mad man after her ,
for another there is a big play tomorrow that she hasn't been able to study for,
and last but not least lets not forget the crazy mad man that is going to make his finale
move tomorrow night.
Jamy couldn't help but sigh.
Who ever said it was easy being a kid.
But right there in her mind she had a flash back.
Who ever said it was easy being an adult. A man said with pointy
blond hair and large blue eyes and a big smile.
Isn't that right Jam jam .
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
That man was her father , she had flashed back to when her father was taking a look
at the house bills and was also playing chess with her like he always did.
Your move. He said.
She thought she had finally got him and moved her knight
and captured his rook.
Your turn. She smiled.
Then with one move. Check mate.
What, she had thought, but he wasn't even looking.
Grrrr! She said being upset.
Wanna go again? He said now looking at the evening news paper.
Sure... but I'll never beat you. She said sadly.
Not with that tone you won't, be confident or you will never win.
What her father said she agreed with whole heartedly
but she always wondered why he said stuff like that ,
because that wasn't the first time he said some thing like that
during all of their chess games he would ramble on about stuff that didn't make any
sense to her till a couple of years ago but it was to late to say what she always wanted
to say to him.
I get it daddy I finally get it.
Reason being was two years ago her father had been killed trying to be a hero.
Quickly she went to go sit down between two back alleys.
He was an idiot for doing what he did
this isn't a cartoon people like that can get ...
After that she couldn't hold back her tears any more.
Daddy ...
The only memories she had left of her father was his smile and them playing chess.
Jamy started to look up at the sky she had wished many times over that her father
would have never left her but she knew it was in vein.
The memories of her father and his rambles started to come back to her three
things he said in particular .
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Never under estimate your opponent, but what's even more important
never under estimate your self always think of the advantage you have against the
enemy like for example your wonderful imagination and abilities
to always think things through.
Right, right I see, Jamy thought.
If ever in the future you have an a chance to risk your life so others will not
be hurt then I suggest you follow through.
Then Jamy remembered what Nela said.
Sense he's just a mad man then if you get away he's just going to
go after some one else.
She was right, Jamy agreed with Nela as well.
I know being the hero isn't all it's cracked up to be but if we don't do it who will.
Jamy scrambled to her feet and wiped away the tears.
Your right Dad if I don't do it who will,
but I want you to know that I'm doing it
for you and Nela no other reason.
Jamy whispered and hoped
with all her heart he heard hear.
Jamy started to walk toward the street while doing so
rummaging through her pocket to see if she had money for a cab.
Luckily she had just enough.
When Jamy got back up to the hotel the first thing she did was head toward
the elevator and punched the number four her floor of course.
She was hoping Nela had gotten back already.
When she got to her room Nela was already there.
Nela was sitting on her bed with her head held down.
Nela? Jamy opened the door. Nela turned her head
Oh! Thank goodness your ok I thought you ran away.
Nela ran up to Jamy and hugged her nearly strangling her to death.
Well I didn't so you can let go.
Jamy said to Nela with a red face.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Oh... Sorry. Nela let go of Jamy.
Then Jamy took a deep breath.
Thanks.
Said Jamy heading toward her own bed.
Jamy laid down on her bed.
Man I'm to pooped to care about any thing right now.
Jamy started to close her eyes and fell asleep.
That night Jamy had a nightmare.
It went like this.
Nela? Jamy seemed to be laying on a stage, and it felt like she had fallen there.
Nela? Where are you?
Jamy looked around again , this wasn't any old stage it was the stage.
The stage that she would preform on tomorrow night.
Jamy tried to get up.
It seemed like she was stuck.
She looked around to see if she could find some thing to help her up.
She grabbed the only thing that was sticking out,
then she pulled her self up.
When she got to her feet she noticed that what she had grabbed
was a hand.
She looked up to see who it was.
Thank you.
Jamy said taking a look at the person who helped her up.
It had been the trench coat lady.
Jamy had started to look around.
It seemed to her that she was back on stage.
How did I get here?
Then at the end of the stage some thing started to appear.
Jamy took two steps toward what seemed to be an illusion.
When she got close enough to it to see what it was it appeared to be..
her!?
It was her bowing on stage then it was Mr. Ravencroft handing
her a huge trophy with a large black pearl on it.
It seemed harmless enough,
but then the scene changed Mr. Ravencroft grabbed
the side of the trophy and broke the pearl and grabbed her hand.
He took a piece of the broken pearl and stabbed it in her hand.
Suddenly her body started to tremble and was in tremendous
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
pain and every thing started to go into complete darkness.
She thought it might have been the end.
I didn't even get to try, she thought deep in her mind.
Then there was a bright light and a hand,
and a soft voice came from the darkness.
Grab my hand and proof your self a true knight.
Then she woke up in a very cold sweat and ran toward the bath room.
And hopefully puicked out all the fear she had if you know what I mean.
Hey are you ok it's three o'clock in the morning.
Nela had came in to the bath room looking half a sleep.
Oh, I yea am ok. Jamy replied after pulling her head out of the toilet.
Are you sick? Asked Nela more carious then worried.
No, just really nervous. Said Jamy hoping Nela wouldn't
ask why.
Oh ok. Said Nela turning back around
and heading to bed.
Jamy was glad that Nela was half a sleep that way
she wouldn't remember this in the morning.
Jamy really didn't want to worry Nela
because mainly the fact that she acts like her mother some times.
It'd give her a heart attack
if she knew what Jamy was fixing to go through.
Just her thinking about it herself makes her sick.
After a couple more minutes in the bath room Jamy headed for bed.
And this time she feel quietly into a peace full abyss of darkness.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 3:
a staged story of time
Jamy! Jamy Louger! Wake up were gonna be late! Nela was yelling at Jamy to wake
up.
Jamy had over slept about four extra hours.
WHAT!? Jamy screamed after looking at the clock.
I've only got an hour to get ready?
Jamy started to run around in circles trying to get ready feeling sick the whole time.
It was about thirty minutes later when she was ready.
And all the rest of that hour long she spent by the big window looking down
watching and thinking, mostly about that dream.
Could her life really end this very night?
But that hand,Jamy thought then she looked at her own hand,
and that voice?
Hey Miss Hero what's with you is their some thing you should be telling me?
Said Nela trying to look bright.
Oh its nothing just worried that am gonna slip up tonight thats all.
Jamy said rubbing the back of her head with a smile and a laugh.
You the alien of the west mess up?
Nela said.
5 minutes later....
Jamy and Nela had gotten on the buses.
So are you ready Mr. Captain of the knights of round.
Said Nela hoping to get a smile out of Jamy.
Jamy just slightly smiles and turns back around to
look out the window.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Then the bus comes to a stop every one plies out and heads into the stage area to get
into their places.
The crowd is already in the audience and it was full to the brim.
It made Jamy sicker to see this, she
nearly puicked in the bucket.
All right every one places, get into your places.
Said the drama teacher with an excited voice.
Yeah I can't wait to humiliate myself in front of hundreds
of people, how exciting.
Said Jamy with a low tone.
Al right ten minutes.
Yelled one of the stage hands.
Jamy started to nudge Nela.
Good luck.
Said Jamy with a smile.
Thats all I need.
Said Nela looking happier than ever.
What? What are you talking about,
all you need?
Said Jamy still smiling but puzzled.
To see you smile silly what else,
just because your the hero doesn't
mean no one cares about you ya know.
Said Nela looking with huge bright blue eyes.
That sounds like some thing my dad mite say.
Jamy tried to hold back the tears of joy in her eyes.
Your on miss.
Said the stage hand to Nela.
See you out there do your best.
Said Jamy.
You too.
Said Nela walking on stage.
Jamy started to look out to the audience and when she did she saw exactly what
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
she was looking for, the person in the trench coat.
She started to grip some thing on her leg
but before she did some thing nudged her.
Oh, Mr. Ravencroft.
Said Jamy.
How nice that you could come.
Well lets hope you make it worth coming for
Miss Louger.
Said Mr. Ravencroft looking at the actors on stage.
Oh don't worry I will.
Jamy started to smile while thinking about the plain she had come up with that night.
Miss Jamy your on.
Said the stage hand.
Jamy started on stage, the lights glaring, the people starring waiting to hear the line to
end the play.
Then Jamy took a deep breath and all her confidence
and began.
I my queen am the black knight I general of all knights of round
I the woman of only a knight is have the blackist of armor
are the black knight do with me what you will
but I did what I believe to be the right thing to do.
Then the curtains closed and every one started to applaud
and all of the actors bowed with hands held together.
All right now it is the time you have all been waiting
for the trophy receiving.
Said Mr. Ravencroft coming on to stage with trophy in hand.
All right I can't wait to see who won.
Said Nela.
I have a feeling I already know, thought Jamy.
Jamy gripped her leg again and closed her eyes her plain was already in action.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
And the winner is Jamy Louger. The spot light was directly on top of her as
Mr. Ravencroft said this. She headed toward him ready and some what afraid of what
was fixing to happen. Mr. Ravencroft starred at her evilly as if he was going to get what
he had been desiring for a long time. And as soon as she got close enough to him
what she had seen in her dream happened, Mr. Ravencroft grabbed her by the arm
broke the trophy and was about to stab her. But then she twisted Mr. Ravencroft's arm
to get her's released and took out what had she had been hiding all along.
A knife from the kitchen in their room. She moved as swiftly as a ninja and tried to cut
Mr. Ravencroft , but when she tried her body became numb and she couldn't move
and every one around her who was screaming was completely frozen.
I am impressed by your skill but unfortunately you are still no match for me.
Said Mr. Ravencroft as if he already won but Jamy had a second idea.
This isn't over yet. Said Jamy, then she took all the strength she had left to throw the
knife at the ropes several feet away from her.
Then as a reaction to that, a huge sand bag fell and landed on top of Mr. Ravencroft.
Finally its over. Jamy started to relax, but then realized that every one surrounding
her they were still frozen.
It's nowhere near over yet its practically just begun. Said Mr. Ravencroft coming up
from behind her. Jamy quickly jumped and moved away from Mr. Ravencroft careful
not to get caught in what she did while ago.
Your Father trained you well. Mr. Ravencroft said smiling.
What!? You don't know anything about my father so just shut up you stupid old man.
Jamy started to run at Mr. Ravencroft.
You are too reckless. Said Mr. Ravencroft.
Then before Jamy could notice Mr. Ravencroft grabbed her arm threw the knife out of
her hand and picked up one of the pieces of pearl.
So is there any thing you want to say before you take your last breath.
Said Mr. Ravencroft.
Yeah actually, how do you know my father and me and who is that person in the trench
coat?! Yelled Jamy.
Person in a trench coat? Whispered Mr. Ravencroft to himself.
Just then the person in the trench coat appeared out of the darkness.
She ran at Mr. Ravencroft and grabbed Jamy from his hands, but before she could
completely get away from Ravencroft he grabbed the trench coat that was hiding her
identity.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
YOUR!! Jamy yelled. But how?
How could you possibly be?
The uncovering of the trench coat reviled that the trench coat person was...
another Jamy Louger.
But how? How could you be me. Said Jamy more confused than ever.
I am you from four years into the future and about four hundred years in the future.
She spoke with determination and confidence and ... strength.
Wait! What? You lost me again. Said Jamy only wanting for some one to answer her
questions.
Theirs no time to explain, here take this. She threw a pocket watch to her.
You have to visit a man named Roy Spencer tell him that you are the last in the link.
She shouted this while trying to keep Ravencroft away from Jamy.
You have to press the button on top of the watch. Quickly you have until the sun rises
on the fourth day now go.
Even though Jamy was confused beyond reason she did what she said.
Then a portal opened she went inside.
All she could see was light but all she could think about was what had happened this
past four days what seemed to be a harmless school trip turned out to be an adventure
that was just beginning.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 4:
Time is no obstacle for a true knight.
Jamy had been sucked through what seemed to be a portal.
But then was pushed back out of the portal at the other end still with the pocket watch in
her hand.
She landed on her back when she came out.
What the?! What just happened , aw man I feel like I have a hang over, am dizzy and
nauseous all at the same time just like that party at Chads house. Uh Nela? She looked
around. It looked like she was at a medieval carnival.
Oh right I ..... wait where am I? She looked around frantically almost so much that her
head mite have come off.
She started to get up , then some one offered her a hand. It was a dark skinned woman
about the age of 26.
Are you al right Mistress Louger. Jamy grabbed her hand and was pulled to her feet.
You know me but I don't know you. Jamy said finally being able to stand.
Oh you and your jokes Mistress Louger. She laughed in a low tone.
Um well ya ,ha ha joking um where exactly are we? Jamy asked the young lady.
The market place Miss Louger. she said.
Jamy looked around of course that makes sense but I guess I asked the wrong
question.
Um when exactly are we? Jamy asked.
The age of knights and castles and kingdoms of higher learning a great age indeed,
do you not agree Miss Louger. said the young girl.
Then in Jamy's head every thing clicked .
This pocket watch is a time travel device and the play matches with the time period,
but what about Mr. Ravencroft and what I read on the computer?
Jamy thought for a second.....
So if what I read on the computer is correct I took the place of Jamy Louger the
daughter of a rich duke and the first female knight , and I guess this girl was her hand
maiden.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Sharlet!!! A another young girl came up to them.
Sharlet there's a sale on apples in the western market you have to come! The little girl
was pulling on her arm.
So the hand maidens name is Sharlet.
Mistress Louger can I go please? Sharlet asked Jamy.
Why is she asking me? Well I guess while she's gone I can look for that guy Roy
Spencer.
Um sure. Then Sharlet and the other little girl ran off.
Ok where do I start?
Jamy started to walk up to a building.
Well that didn't take long. Right in front of Jamy was a building with a wanted poster
on it.
Roy Spencer wanted for helping convects and creating weapons for riots reward:
1,000,000 gold pieces. Jamy read the poster.
Don't tell me your going after him to Mistress Louger? A very well rounded man with a
long red beard came out of the building.
Um no of course not although if I could find him.....? Jamy thought she could trick this
man.
Oh Mistress Louger a young beautiful woman such as your self should not say such
things. said the well rounded man.
Jamy looked at the building that that man came out of there was a sign that said:
Spencer & Julius it was a black smith shop.
So this must be Julius.
So Mister Julius do you know any thing about Mister Spencer? Asked Jamy.
Sorry haven't seen him for three weeks Miss Louger but ....... here come inside for a
wee bit. Said Julius pointing into the building.
Once inside Julius started to whisper some thing about Spencer.
Spencer came by about three weeks ago said he'd be moving around of course your
the only one that kind find him.
Said Mister Julius.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
What?! How come am the only one that can find him?
I guess the other Jamy must have had something special with him.
And yet my 6th sense tells me I know where he is.
Thank you for your time Mister Julius, when I find Mister Spencer I'll tell him you were
worried. Jamy ran out of the black smith shop.
Then Jamy realized that she had no idea where she was going nor how to get there.
Miss Louger! It was Sharlet with a basket full of apples.
Why does every one have to keep calling me that?!
Miss Louger I got a great price on all these apples strait from the orchard.
Said Sharlet showing her the apple.
Oh thats great Sharlet um hey is there an art museum around here?
Jamy asked Sharlet not knowing her surroundings.
Oh yes Miss Louger in the Western Quarter of the kingdom.
Sharlet smiled while saying this.
Um could you show me the way?
Jamy asked.
Sure Miss Louger.
Sharlet started skipping the way.
It took about thirty minutes to get there.
Ta-da the art of kingdoms.
Sharlet pointed at the sign.
So my 6th sense is telling me that Spencer is in here.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Jamy and Sharlet walked into the art museum.
In the first room there was a man painting a picture with what looked to be a fake white
beard but brown spiky hair and was the age of 23.
The man turned around and as soon as he laid eyes on Jamy there was a huge
smile on his face.
Jamy! The man came up to Jamy and gave her a big hug.
Oh hi Spencer. When she said this she felt if she knew him.
Hey Sharlet I'd like to talk to Spencer alone if you don't mind.
Said Jamy.
Of course Miss Louger. Then Sharlet went back outside.
Jamy then took a deep breath.
Ok I don't know if this is going to make any since to you
ha doesn't even make since to me but...
She took another deep breath and hoped she could figure out a way to explain every
thing.
Ok I am the last in the link.
As soon as she said this Spencer took off his fake beard.
He put out his hand.
Hi man name is Roy Spencer and I'm from the year 2030,
the future ,you pick me up while I was being attacked by androids
well police androids any way and we've been traveling together for
two months now. Spencer explained.
Hey Sharlet come back in.
Sharlet walked back in.
This is Sharlet Walker your future self helped her in a thief
job to get the legendary ruby of Ietakawa in
the 2016 .s and have been traveling together for two weeks.
Jamy looked to Sharlet she nodded.
So you being a black smith is a cover up and you being a hand maiden is a cover up.
Jamy tried to understand.
Yup! They both said.
Their just as annoying as Nela no wonder I took them in.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Wait !?
Do you guys know where a girl named Nela is?
Jamy asked hoping she was still ok.
Nope never heard of her.
Said Spencer Shrugging.
Oh wait do you have the pocket watch?
Jamy was still holding the pocket watch in her hand.
Yeah. Why?
Thats our ticket home ,of course first you have to get rid of Ravencroft before we head
back.
Said Spencer explaining.
Then Sharlet stepped up to explain.
For at least four days you have to stay here and try and get Ravencroft off your back,
and don't worry me and Spence will be here to help.
Just her saying that made Jamy feel safer.
Sharlet looked at her watch of course from her time.
We probably should be heading back now.
Sharlet started back to the door.
See ya later Spence.
Jamy and Sharlet headed back to the castle that the original Jamy
Louger owned.
The castle was huge even had a stable next to it, the rooms in the castle were like first
class hotel rooms and the kitchen was huge there was room for 17 people to eat at the
table.
Sharlet gave Jamy the tour showed her the kitchen, her room ,and the stable.
The stable was Jamy's favorite.
Hey am going to get dinner ready you can stay here and introduce your self to the
horses if you like I mean they are your horses after all.
Then Sharlet left.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Jamy looked at all the horses and their name tags.
1: Sand Storm: a brown horse with a tan nose.
2: Snow Blizzard: an all white horse.
3: Black Sage: an all black horse.
4: Nela: an all tan horse with white hair.
Nela?! Jamy looked at the horse named Nela,
it was a beautiful horse.
I wonder? Jamy looked at the saddles.
And in two seconds her and Nela flew out of the stables and headed toward the hills.
Nela and Jamy rode in the hills for hours.
The hills were covered in daisy and dogwoods.
This is such a beautiful place isn't it Nela.
The horse nayed.
And by sundown both Nela and Jamy were tired and headed back in.
Jamy put Nela back in the stables and headed back to the house.
There was a sweet aroma coming from the inside of the house.
Mmmm, smells like cake my favorite. Said Jamy running back into the house and
heading toward the kitchen.
She came to the kitchen nearly running into Roy.
Oh hey I see your hungry as usual. Roy said laughing a little.
Hey you guys It's time for dinner. Yelled Sharlet from the kitchen.
Roy and Jamy sat down at the table.
Sharlet came and laid plates down on the table.
Jamy's eyes light up like stars at seeing what Sharlet brought.
Chicken covered in barbecue sauce and pizza and shrimp
but most importantly cake.
Yeah cake! Jamy started toward the cake but got slapped on the hand with a wooden
spoon by Sharlet.
Sharlet moved her finger back and forth, No desert until after you eat dinner.
Who are you my mother? Jamy thought.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
I guess no matter what Jamy you are you'll always have that sweet tooth of yours.
Said Roy laughing.
Then Jamy noticed some thing.
How'd you guys get this kind of food?
Asked Jamy.
Well we brought a few things with us from the future like
an instant food maker. Said Sharlet shrugging.
Then there was an out of the blue question that popped into Jamy's head.
Oh ok but wait how did I out of every one become a time traveler?
Jamy asked.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 5:
Me a time traveler how?
Oh well.... I guess we could tell you. Its really because of your dad James Louger.
But really its because you have the soul of a time traveler. Why you of all people well
I guess that goes back to your dad but to tell you the truth I don't understand it much
myself. So if you really want to get a better explanation ask yourself, I mean your future
self when you see her again. Said Roy trying his hardest to explain.
Oh well I guess you'll have to wait till then to find out but for now its time we all get
some rest. Said Sharlet herding every one to bed.
But wait why did my future self bring you guys with me? Asked Jamy.
Well you bring us every where you go, oh wait you mean why do we travel together
well I guess its because its lonely time traveling alone and we all sorta became friends
when we first meant and one more thing is when we both first meant you you said it was
destiny. Explained Sharlet.
Destiny!? Thought Jamy.
Well did I ever tell you guys about Nela? Asked Jamy.
No I don't think so. Said Sharlet and Roy.
I'll right thats enough questions for one day its lights out now. Said Sharlet.
After that they all headed for bed.
That night Jamy couldn't sleep as usual, she had been thinking again.
In the room she was in there was a large window with no glass kinda like a hole in the
wall and it let the moonlight in.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Destiny, destiny's a joke this is a joke a bad joke I just wanted to be a knight in
a play I didn't want this I don't even know what this is. Me a time traveler how?
How I ask impossible this is defiantly a dream yeah and sooner or later I'll wake
up and Nela will be there right beside me. Yeah thats exactly what will happen
I mean Nela's always there right beside me a world with out her shouldn't exist. Jamy
said to herself. Then finally she fell asleep.
That night Jamy was awakened by a noise down stairs.
She headed down stairs to check but when she got down stairs she saw some thing she
didn't expect.
Hey Jamjam seems I woke you up sorry about that hey how is that friend of yours
Nela was it ya know I really like her she... she reminds me of your mother energetic self
rest her soul.
Oh hey here it is milk ah milk a tasty midnight beverage.
It was Jamy's dad.
Oh yea I remember this is when I was 6 dad used to stay up late at night working on
some thing and this was the day a brought Nela home with me. Jamy remembered.
Then Jamy woke up.
Ha, he loved milk, She said.
Then she went back to bed.
Hey sleepy head wake up! Some one shouted.
Nela!?
No Sharlet.
Oh sorry. Said Jamy.
You better get up you only have three days to solve that puzzle
your other self left for you. Said Sharlet.
Why can't you do it? Asked Jamy.
Because I don't have a sixth sense. Said Sharlet.
Oh. Said Jamy.
Then they both headed down stairs.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Good morning ladies. Said Roy sitting at the kitchen table.
Good morning Spence. Said Sharlet.
Hey Sharlet! Yelled Roy.
Ya? Asked Sharlet.
How bout a good morning kiss?' Roy puckered his lips.
Ew! No way! Said Sharlet slapping Roy in the face.
Then Jamy quietly sat down at the table,
Roy and Sharlet starred at her.
What!? Asked Jamy.
This is the quietist you've ever been since I meant you what's wrong?
Asked Roy.
Oh nothing. Jamy looked away from their glances.
Oh well I guess I should give you the puzzle.
Said Sharlet.
Sharlet handed Jamy a piece of paper.
When she looked at it it was blank.
Hey its blank! Jamy yelled.
No its not here let me have it.
Said Roy.
Jamy gave the piece of paper back to Roy.
Here it says, you can only read this until you believe in destiny.
Roy read the paper.
What!? Said Jamy.
I know it doesn't make any sense. Said Sharlet.
Yea , it doesn't make sense. Said Jamy thinking the direct opposite of that. Um you
know what, am not that hungry am gonna go for a walk.
Then Jamy walked out the door closing it slowly on her way out.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 6:
Destiny is a path paved with
pain.
( And confusion?)
Destiny? Mmm? Let me think , so far my destiny has been me nearly getting killed by
a creepy old man going to medieval ages and still no one telling me any thing I want to
know. Either destiny really hates me or I am just that unlucky. Of course never
really had that much good luck in the past in the first place. But come on dose it really
have to be this bad. Matter of fact am either going to die by murder or suspense ,never
could stand suspense not even in a book. Oh well guess am going to have to own up to
my responsibilities someday might as well be now.
Complained Jamy while walking on a dirt path kicking rocks all the way. Sigh.
My my a young princess such as your self shouldn't make such a face.
Then all of a sudden a dark shadow loomed over Jamy and she could fill a very dark
evil essence, but.........
when she turned around there was a 20-30 year old man with long white hair
and very very light blue eyes almost white in fact standing behind her.
Oh he's really handsome, thought Jamy.
Um hello are you ok? You zoned out there.
Asked the incredibly handsome man.
Jamy shook her head so hopefully some stupidity
would fall out and she wouldn't say any thing embarrassing
( like in fourth grade....).
Oh hello am Jamy Louger. Sorry for zoning out there its
just I couldn't help noticing your.... hair?
Hair!? Am so stupid. Jamy said in thought.
Why thank you I work hard on my hair. Said the mysterious handsome man.
Hey, maybe my luck is changing. Thought Jamy.
I guess I should introduce myself I am Luecis Zero.
Lue...cis Zer....o?
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Where have I?
Then all of a sudden thoughts blurry images memories flashed through Jamy's
mind to fast to realize what they were but slow enough to have an emotional effect.
Tears started to flow out of Jamy's eyes but she didn't know why
and her head started to ache then her head started to
burn.
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! My head it hurts ...
Then Jamy looked at her hands.
They were covered in blood she was started to cry blood.
So you still don't know the truth. Mmmmm,
oh well its just to bad you took that man's name
it just doesn't suit you but
neither dose a face covered in blood.
It was Luecis he was whispering
in Jamy's ear.
Don't worry you won't have to suffer for long
with that man's name.
I'll be back to get you soon just
remember that this is just beginning
so don't run away, wait for me.
Then Jamy opened her eyes.
What just happened!?
She looked at her hands felt her face.
Wait ..that man he knew some thing
about me...Jamy breathed deeply,
what just happened...?
Jamy got up and started walking but stumbled
most of the way back to the castle.
Being here but not being there
some where else deep
deep in thought.
When Jamy got back to the castle
she slightly opened the door and slipped in.
Really hoping that Roy nor Sharlet
were home.
Jamy went to the kitchen to see if that piece of paper was still there.
Jamy turned into the kitchen but instead bumped into Roy.
Hey! What are you a ninja I didn't even hear you come in. Roy said.
But Jamy didn't even hear him nor did she even notice that she bumped into him.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Hey what's the matter you look like you've seen death himself?
Asked Roy in a worried voice.
But Jamy still didn't hear him.
Then Jamy found the piece of paper on the counter top
and this time it said something.
If your mind is always stuck in reality and the real world, then thoughts and idea's are
limited but if you believe in the impossible and dreams come true then and only then
can your thoughts and dreams become unlimited and your destiny be your own.
Wow how profound! Shouted Roy.
Jamy quickly turned around and backed away.
Shesh what happened to you your so spooked your completely out of it!?
Asked Roy still worried.
Jamy staggered and shivered as she fell to the floor.
Did he attack you?
Roy asked in a dark voice.
Then Jamy finally came back from being deep in thought.
I don't want to do this anymore the farther I get the more I
learn how little I know about myself
I just want to be with Nela
again. Shouted Jamy scared of the future.
He did didn't he, he attacked you.
Even if he did you can't give
up, at least thats what you always said to me
never give up keep moving forward or ....
you'll always be stuck in the past
so running away was never an option.
Said Roy in a confident
voice.
Jamy looked at Roy realizing for the first time how much he
looked like her father.
Jamy started to cry remembering her father.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Roy came up to Jamy and hugged her
holding her head and telling her it was going to be alright almost as if their relationship
was composed of being father and daughter.
Roy did you ever have a daughter?
Asked Jamy.
Yes,but she died from a heart disease at a very young age
and her mother, my wife was trapped in some very complicated situation of the future.
Roy explained.
I am sorry. Jamy said.
It's alright, yeah know what I haven't really thought of my past since I meant
you. When I first meant you I was nothing a dyeing man with
nothing just waiting for that time. But when I meant you, I was given a second chance a
new life I always thought you were an angel,
and ya know Sharlet's story is exactly the same
without you me and her would be dead right now I know it seems like right now
were taking care of you but that won't last long you'll be taking care of us again soon.
Weird ha a 15-18 year old taking care of two almost 30 year olds.
Said Roy with shining eyes.
Thank you. Said Jamy looking more cheerful already.
Jamy and Roy stood up.
Well I guess we should tell you who he is.
Said Roy looking to some where far away.
See what I mean by suspense, for crying out loud it's like I'm in a book or some thing.
Thought Jamy seeming to feel a lot better than before.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
PART 7:
Suspense, A new enemy.
That night after a good dinner,
every one sat down on the couch.
Well where do we start? Said Sharlet rubbing her chin.
Oh oh I know. Shouted Roy.
Ok go ahead. Complied Sharlet.
Aaaahhhmmmm, ok the first thing is.... we don't know any thing
what we do know is very little, we do know who that guy is
but we don't know how he knows you or your father.
Said Roy.
We do know Started Sharlet That his name is ....
well you know his name, also we now if we say his
name it hurts you that's why we don't say his name.
Is that it!? Asked Jamy.
Yea pretty much. Said Roy shrugging.
What!? Said Jamy in her head.
All I can remember myself about that guy is when I heard his
name I had flash backs of some sort, (that were really painful).
Said Jamy.
Yawn. Said Roy.
Well am heading to bed its been a long short day.
Me to. Said Sharlet getting up from the futon.
Then both Roy and Sharlet headed to bed.
But Jamy stayed a little longer in the silence and darkness to think.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Maybe am not who I think I am maybe all those years I spent living
a normal live with Nela was just a joke, maybe this is my reawakening
maybe it's my wake up call from that dream of a life..... was it even real to begin with.
Ha, questioning what's real now am I? If anything this is a nightmare
that I might wake up from sooner or later.
Although I wouldn't mind if it was sooner ....and if I could wake up to his smile again.
But that would be wishful thinking ...that would be the dream.
Said Jamy thinking deeply while shrinking slowly into the darkness
of sleep.
That night Jamy had another dream.
There was water, glasses and tubes almost like a lab.
Also there were two lab worker's a female and male.
One looked like ....
James Louger your experiment 246 Time is due today for showing in front of the
council. Said a elderly man in a suit that appeared from an office.
Don't worry Mrs. Stanley it'll be finished in time thanks to my lovely new wife assistant
Misses Louger. Said James.
The women beside him laughed.
It better be because your job is on the line this time.
Said Mrs. Stanley.
James just smiled with a thumbs up after that.
Jamy then started to look around she saw him beside her strapped to a metal table just
like she seemed to be, but this wasn't a dream it was a memory.
WHAT!? She woke up and was laying on the futon with cover's over her.
Was it all a lie everything or just a dream?
Jamy started to feel tears come out of her eyes.
All that time I missed him and I thought he loved me.
Jamy then started to feel pure hatred for that man that she thought was her father.
He lied to me all those years! Jamy yelled.
Then Jamy grabbed the sword next to the futon and thought she should wear out all this
hatred.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
But as Jamy stepped out the door into the cold and dark night she knew she was using
that hate to cover up everything else she felt like..... fear that she might not even be
human.
Outside Jamy had found an oak tree to practice on.
But in the bright full moon light you could see through her act of anger and into her eyes
of sadness.
She was still crying but now her face was covered in dirt
and her arm was soar from swinging the heavy sword.
Well well if it isn't the heroic hero with emotions and memories your job was to fight me
remember or have you forgotten.
Jamy turned around quickly swinging the sword still in her hand.
Ravencroft perfect timing I needed something to take my frustration out on.
Said Jamy feeling more angry than ever.
Yea right you the hero do any thing to a unarmed man like what kill me....
By the time Mrs. Ravencroft had said this Jamy had run the sword straight through him.
Well I guess am not the person you thought I was but then again am not the person I
thought I was either.
Said Jamy not at all caring about what she just did.
You!? You .. can't do that he said you wouldn't
I... I.... I.... Guess I partnered with the wrong man.
Mrs. Ravencroft fell to the ground dead as a doornail.
Just then a portal appeared, it was coming from the watch that was still in her pocket.
She walked through only to find James siting in his old chair trying to play chess alone.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 8
The truth behind the lie.
So its you! Said Jamy seeing her supposed father.
I see so if your talking to me in that tone you must know already.
Said James with a warm smile.
He started to step towards her.
You must be 14 or 15 you sure do look a lot like your mother.
Said James finally hugging Jamy.
You can't ... Jamy started to cry again.
Its nice to see you Jamjam.
Said James with tears in his eyes.
I missed you so much all I wanted when all of this first started was to see you again
and even after that stupid dream even though I wanted to hate you I still couldn't.
Said Jamy confessing and wanting this moment to last forever.
I am truly sorry but if its any consideration you were always my daughter Jamjam
and I always loved you.
Said James squeezing even harder.
I know I always knew.
Said Jamy letting go.
But if you want I can help clear a few things up.
Said James looking eye to eye to her now.
I would like that.
Said Jamy remembering the sparkle in her fathers eyes.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Jamy and James sat on the couch in the living room.
Where to start where to start?
James said while thinking.
How about the beginning?
Asked Jamy.
Alright but while I'm explaining how bout a game of chess?
Asked James.
Sure I'd like that.
Said Jamy.
But of course he's going to win, thought Jamy.
All right well to start at the beginning am going to need that watch.
Said James.
Jamy handed over the solid gold pocket watch.
Well to put things simply 20 years ago this watch was found in a meteor hole
in the Himalayas, it didn't take but a year to find out it had time travel capabilities
but when a normal person with a normal human structure used it, it
crushed them under the pressure so the government started project Time
to create clones of people with different structures
that could use the watch... for what I don't know but I do know before I was hired they're
were 244 unsuccessful clones.
But you and him were different I know why you were different because you were a
clone of your mother her structure was always stable always healthy.
But him he was born strong and I don't even know who he was a clone of.
But when you were 2 years old there was an explosion in the lab your mother
died trying to save you.
After that I didn't know what happened to him until yesterday
I saw him again he said he would try and take you away but I won't let that happen.
James took Jamy's hand.
Don't worry I'll be fine.
Said Jamy wanting so much to say don't be a hero you idiot but
knowing it would just be a waste of breath.
Um check...mate?
Said Jamy looking back down at the chess board.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Hahaha, looks like I have nothing more to teach you.
Said James with a huge smile.
Now I feel confident that you can go on without anymore training.
Training? Asked Jamy.
Yes ever since we started playing chess together when you were three I've been
training you making you understand what it takes to be a leader,a hero, and really
smart. Said James.
Really? Said Jamy rubbing her chin.
Here. James then gave Jamy back the watch.
Then anouther portal appeared.
Well I guess its time for you to go back.
James said hugging Jamy.
You can't let him win he is your one true enemy
I trained you for too long to let you lose to him.
Don't worry I promise you I won't.
Jamy said smiling while walking through the portal.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 9
A mystery solved.
The portal took Jamy to the bridge with burn marks.
Which she did not cause but followed in.
Okay the Opera house shouldn't be to far away.
Jamy started to run but faster than she's ever run before.( Like a power of some sort.)
She walked through the doors of the Opera house and saw the stage
with her other self that is first traveling through time falling through the portal
and her older self fighting Mrs. Ravencroft.
She snuck onto the stage.
I know the truth about your father.
Said Mrs. Ravencroft just realizing that there was another Jamy behind him.
But by that time Mrs. Ravencroft had been run through again.
Why do you make me have to kill you twice? Also about the whole father thing I
already know it's old news . Said Jamy.
Then there was silence.
Clap...clap.... clap...clap. So it looks like our nice little princess isn't so nice after all.
Said Zero appearing from the darkness of the stage.
No I guess am not. Said Jamy feeling as if she could fall down died at any moment
from seeing him.
Then the older Jamy appeared in front of her.
Get behind me!
She said.
No! I won't let him win.
Said normal period Jamy.
Your not ready yet you still don't know how to use the Time DNA yet
you don't stand a chance, you have to go back to Roy and Sharlet.
Said older Jamy.
No I... Just then a portal appeared behind Jamy and sucked her in and everything
went black.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Part 10:
The end. (for now.)
Jamy woke up on the futon again but this time she saw herself.
How did the fight with Zero go? Asked Sharlet.
Well I won for now of course she still has to fight him someday again too
so it still doesn't solve the problem. Answered older Jamy.
And I still haven't figured out the governments plans yet. She then whispered.
Oh your awake. Good that means you heard what I said so I don't have to repeat
myself. Said older Jamy seeing present Jamy looking her way.
So what now? Asked present Jamy.
Well I make you a true time traveler with a time traveler name and you go your own
way. Answered future Jamy.
So they all headed outside.
Okay now what? Asked present Jamy.
Then future Jamy got out her sword and hit present Jamy in the head with it.
Ow! Said present Jamy.
Oh that didn't hurt, you should be more patient next time.
Since you do have all the time in the world.
Said future Jamy getting in a different stance.
I dub you a true time traveler with the time travelers name
BLACK KNIGHT .
Then the watch in Jamy's hand her golden time traveler's watch changed
now it had the inscription black knight on it.
Awesome! Said Jamy right before she was sucked into another portal.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
Jamy , Jamy louger wake up.
Shouted a voice from beyond the darkness.
Sharlet?Asked Jamy waking up.
No, Nela silly you must of had one crazy dream
you've been asleep for three days. Said Nela.
Man I've missed you.
Said Jamy realizing that everything had gone back to normal.
Well you should get up tomorrow were headed back home but today we can do
anything we want plus for an extra bonus that creep Mrs. Ravencroft
disappeared so your perfectly safe.
Said Nela excited to go out and have a good time.
Was it all a dream? Jamy whispered.
Then Jamy looked in her pocket and there it was the solid gold pocket watch with the
engraving Black knight.
No it wasn't. Said Jamy.
What?Said Nela.
I said I have got one heck of a dream to tell you about.
Said Jamy.
............................................................The..BLACK KNIGHT
And that is what happened on my first time traveler's adventure.
Said the girl in the dark room.
Hey!
The lights in the room came on and it showed that the young girl had been talking to a
painting of a middle aged man.
Jamy are you talking to your dad again
from beyond the grave what was it this time when we first meant again?
Asked Roy.
Come on Sharlet's waiting for us and you know her if she waits to long she'll
go crazy again.
All right all right am coming.
Jamy turned one last time to
the picture.
Bye father, James and teacher I promise I will see you again some day I
promise.
Then Jamy walked out the door and into the light
to fight in another time and another place searching
for Him.
To be continued in tim!
