Chris and Blake saw it and walked up to Jack.
"What's up with her?" Chris asked him.
Blake saw the blindfold in Jack's hand. "Did she toss it?"
"Yes."
Jack went back upstairs and took the blanket and then walked out of the door and started to track Jenifer.
Jack wasn't all that worried, because they were in the middle of the woods and she didn't want to go home so she had nowhere to go.
After 10 minutes he found her near a small stream and throwing up. He knew exactly what was wrong with her and he put the blanket over his face and walked up to Jenifer.
"Black Rose."
Jenifer heard his voice but she didn't look at him.
"Black Rose, my face is covered, and I brought you your blindfold."
Jenifer saw Gunner and started to laugh 'You look silly.'
"Well you infected me, because your silly yourself."
Jenifer walked up to Gunner and hugged him. 'Now that I see you up close you look like a big teddy bear.'
"Do you like teddy bears?"
'No… but a Gunner teddy bear is an exception.'
"What kind of animal do you like?"
'Well any that is fluffy and cute, but if I really have to choose one, German shepherds.'
"Why do you like them?"
'They are strong and smart, and the protect their owner even if it means they have to give up their life's for it.'
"I heard what happened yesterday from Mouse."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
'No…'
"Why not?"
'Because…'
Gunner noticed she was crying and he put the blanked over her and sat down and took her on his lap.
"You can't see my face, nor can I or anybody else see you cry and be vulnerable."
"If you don't want to talk about it, its oke for now… but if you don't start soon you will fall apart, even the strongest man isn't immune to it."
"Let me teach you something."
"There are 4 types of killing in this world."
one is coldblooded killing.
two is mercy killing
three is self-defense killing.
Four revenge killing.
"Do you know the difference between the 4?"
Jenifer nodded.
"Then did you intended to kill the man who attacked Mouse?"
'No…'
"Then which of the four can be applied to you?"
'Number 3.'
Gunner pulled her close to him hand let her head rest on him and stroke her back because she was shivering.
"You did nothing wrong, you didn't intended to kill the man but you were probably scared that Mouse would get killed and you defended yourself and Mouse."
"Although it wasn't the outcome you were aiming for, you saved Mouse. So be proud you were able to save somebody even though it was at the cost of another."
"Black Rose, there is something you should know. You are just one person and some people can't be saved, but you can save the person who needs it when they are right in front of you."
Jenifer was very conflicted, she wanted to push them all away, but she also want them to be close to her. Because to her they were what came close as friends.
'I… I… didn't mean to hit that man so hard…I thought if I hit his head he would be knocked out.'
'I didn't want to kill anybody, I just want to knock him out… that was all.'
"It's alright Black Rose, just let it all out."
Jenifer cried for an hour, even hit Jack on the chest a few times letting him know she needed him and everybody else and not to leave her alone.
He let her be, but also noticed the strength behind her blows. And it didn't look good at all, she currently was a ticking time bomb, if she would be cornered, anger or frustrated to a certain point the person on the other end could die because her blows could turn fatal.
Jack looked concerned, leaving this girl alone like she was now wasn't good, and he understood Chris concerns better, this girl need supervision and guiding's.
Jenifer finally calmed down.
"Black Rose are you hungry?"
Jenifer nodded.
"Shall we go back and eat breakfast?"
'Alright…'
Jenifer turned around and pulled of the blanked from her head.
Jack put her blindfold back on.
"Isn't it hard for you to avoid our face's and being blindfolded all the time?"
Jenifer shook her head.
'It would be more painful and hard for me when you let go of my hand if I saw your face's.'
'I told Mouse that forgetting voices are less hard than face's… but now I'm not so sure anymore.'
'Mouse told me he didn't mind if I see his face and you guys could come and visit me…'
'But I know very well you 5 live in a different world from me, while I live in a grey world, you guys live in a black world.'
'I have no place there…'
"I understand, but there is one thing you should know; for somebody who lives in a grey world, it's easier to step to either the white or the black world. While you think you have no place in the world of black, that is not true at all. In my opinion grey is closer to black than it is to white."
Jenifer smiled and nodded 'Your right.'
'Gunner…'
"Hmm"
'Can you teach me how to shoot?'
"Come back to me after two years and ask me then."
'I will.'
'Then how about self-defense?'
"Why do you want to learn it?"
'To channel my strength better, if I were more aware of my strength than the incident from yesterday won't happen again.'
'I should ask knifes if he can teach me knife combat so I can defend myself against knifes.'
'Ahaha learning from knifes to defend myself from him.'
"Black Rose are planning to step in the black world?"
'While I like to… I can't… since I'm still alive… but you said it yourself, while grey is closer to black it wouldn't be strange for a grey person to have encounters with people of black world.'
"Black Rose! Never set foot in our world!"
Jenifer turned around and smiled 'I won't, because I have 5 guardian angles from the black world so I stay in the grey world.'
'But in my opinion you 5 are just as grey as me.'
"And what makes you think so?"
'The moment you kidnap me and took me to the warehouse, you never hurt me, threatened me or intentionally put me in dangerous situation.'
Jack and Jenifer had reached the cottage and before they went inside Jack and Jenifer made a promise.
"Black Rose promise me, when we leave you, you study hard and have your life back on track, and I will come to you when your 18 and then I will train you."
Jenifer was overjoyed and jumped at jack and hugged him.
'Alright I promise to be good.'
The others saw from the window her interaction with Jack and to them it seems she was back to her odd self again.
