《Laughing Jack X Reader》Chapter 30

~**~
About a month had passed since my accident. I still didn't have any of my old memories back, but I didn't really care that much, I seemed to pick up on things very quickly. Well, by that I mean I'm able to attack a flour sack dummy.. I haven't been on a real mission yet, I just didn't feel quite ready to actually Murder a real person.
"Hey! You ready to try it blindfolded!"
LJ and I had gotten really close over the past month. He's been teaching me everything and we're together pretty much 24/7. I would say that feelings are starting to grow, but definitely not 'in love' yet.
"Why do I have to do it blindfolded! In what situation would I use this in!"
I complain as LJ walks behind me, placing the fabric over my eyes and tying it at the back of my head.
"Wellll what if someone jumps you from behind and covers your face. Or someone pepper sprays you. You need to become more dependant on your hearing as well as sight."
To be honest he did have a good point. It does seem very likely someone could try and blind me while fighting for their life. Just thinking of being blinded sends a shiver down my spine.
Oh yeah apparently me doing a blind run is my final test before being put out in the field for a real mission so of course Slender has to come and watch to make sure LJ doesn't lie to cover for me.
"Hey, you'll be fine"
LJ whispers in my ear, to which I then suddenly feel something press against my cheek, making a smooching sound.
He-! He kissed me!
This was the first time LJ had kissed me or done anything remotely romantic. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears, my pulse throbbing in my neck as my hands became sweaty.

Oh god now I'm too nervous!
I take a deep breath, in and out. Breathing slowly and calmly as I listen out for the sounds.
The entire forest was so loud at first I was bombarded with sounds. The trees and leaves rustling as the wind flows through them. The sounds of birds calling out and foxes shrieking.
I try to focus myself, taking one more deep inhale. As I breathe out, the sounds of the forest start to fade. It was no longer too loud to concentrate, it was calm and peaceful. I was now in the zone.
I listen out for my sound queues, hearing a twig snap to my side my head snaps in its direction, listening more as the twigs snapping turn into leaves crunching, being crushed by each footstep, drawing closer and closer, circling round and coming up behind me.
I could hear their raspy breathing the closer they got, I wait till the right moment before I spin around and pounce, pinning the person to the floor, bringing my blade to their neck.
"Good job"
I instantly hear a recognisable chuckle, yanking off my blindfolded, I see LJ laying beneath me with my blade to his throat. A satisfied grin plastered across his face. I felt so happy I had got it right. Jumping to my feet I couldn't help do a little dance. Trotting on the spot. LJ stands laughing as he watches me.
"I did it!! Did I do it Slender?! I done it right!'"
I grin as I face slender, to which his calm static fills the air before he nods his head.
"EEEEEEEE~!"
I couldn't help squeal like a school girl. I got it right and felt so accomplished.
Instantly I run back to the cabin, I just HAD to tell the guys.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
