Family Through and Through

Chapter one

Chapter 1-

Third person POV

As Ismae walked the streets looking for somewhere to sleep, she started to hear someone behind her. Ismae started to walk faster.

When she turned around the sound stopped, and there was no one there. She turned around and kept walking but still heard the sound.

Suddenly, she saw a fire escape she could jump onto from the sidewalk, and climb up.

She Just as she got to the fire escape, she moved quickly. In one swift motion she was on the fire escape, climbing up to the roof.

When she arrived at the roof she let a sigh of relief out. All of the sudden she felt a hand over her mouth. She tried screaming as hard as she could but no one could hear her.

She thrashed and kicked the man as hard as she could but he was twice her size.

She remembered a defense mechanism her big brother had taught here when she was a little girl, before he ran away.

She bit his hand as hard as she could. The metallic taste of blood soon flooded her mouth.

"Ow!" The man grumbled as he swung Ismae over his shoulder. He ran down the fire escape and on to the street as fast as he could. She tried everything to get out of his grip, screaming the whole way.

She was beginning to give up, when a voice came from in front of them

"I don't think that's the propah way to treat a goil, Oscar." A masculine voice called

"Move out of the way Kelly...."her capturer growled.

"Nah, I don't think so. Well not until ya release that goil."

Oscar, at least that's what she thought his name was, was enraged and lunged at the man. Releasing her in the process.

The man named Kelly mouthed for her to run. He had brown hair and was about 5 inches taller than her. He reminded her of someone she knew but she couldn't put her finger on who he reminded her of.

She couldn't just leave him alone to fight her capturer. So she ran up the nearest fire escape, trying to think of how to help him.

Finally, she spotted a pile of large rocks. She had a pretty good aim so she started hurling the rocks at her capturer, being careful not to hit her savior.

Oscar looked up to her direction but he couldn't see her since she was in the shadows. At that moment Kelly smirked and punched the man so hard that two of his teeth were knocked out.

The man stumbled back and growled
"Alright Kelly, you win this time" and with that he ran out of the alley.

"It's alright you can come out now." Kelly said to her. She shyly walked down the fire escape, her savior helping her off.

"So I know you got a pretty good aim but do ya gotta name?" He asked her.

"Ismae. Ismae Kelly." She shyly nodded.

"Pretty- wait, Ismae? Come here. He said leading her into the light of the streetlight.

"Jack?" She asked

"Yes! I knew it! Ismae I've missed ya so much!" he said the biggest smile spreading across his face, remembering how little she was when he left.

"Jack it really is you!" She said hugging her big brother.

"You actually turned out pretty! I mean I thought Ya wouldn't make it far when I left Ya. I mean with that short hair ya looked like a troll when Ya was little. But now look at Ya! With that long auburn hair and those deep brown eyes you could get any man you want! Heck! You could be tha govenahs daughter!" He chuckled as she glared at him playfully.
