Calista lived her life normally for the first 14 years. Then one day everything changed, it was her 14th birthday. She was having a party and all her friends were there. She had never been more happy in her life. Her parents placed the candles on her cake carefully and she watched them. Soon they were lit and everyone was singing happy birthday. After the song ended she closed her eyes and made her wish. She wanted more than anything to be in California for vacation again.
Thats when it happened. She felt something suddenly sucking her out of place. She felt her skin being pulled at. She felt sand under herself. She opened her eyes scared. Calista looked around feeling unsure that her wish had just come true. Scared she called her mom and her mom told her to relax and to just go to the airport and they would fly her home. She promised everything would be okay. Calista knew things would never be okay then.
She got home her house was destroyed. Her parents were gone. They were dead. Calista found their bodies. No one could explain what happened. Calista was sitting in the remains of her bedroom when a group of men entered the room. "Who are you?" She asked unsure.
"This is gonna be hard for you to understand but we're here to finish this." An older man with dark skin and completely white hair told her.
Calista was scared she instantly stood and tried to run. She felt electricity go through her body. She fell to the ground. Suddenly she heard fighting and yelling. She looked up and saw a guy around 18 years old fighting the other peopple. Then everything went black.
Calista woke up in the hospital. It took about a month for her to recover. She was living with her Aunt and Uncle.
Calista walked out her house and began to walk to the store for her Aunt. When she walked she grabbed a cart and looked at the list of things she needed. She felt like some one was watching her but she believed she just felt paranoid. She stopped walking and turned around quickly. Thats when she saw him. "Hey, you're the guy-"
"Don't make a big deal out of it. I was just dropping by when it happened." He said. Calista noticed an accent.
"Thank you for what you did." Calista said unsure. "Are you following me?" She asked unsure.
"A little full of yourself, aren't ya?" He said snapping at her. Calista was confused. "I just wanted to make sure the Paladins were gone thats all. Don't think we're friends now." He said shrugging. "Just be careful, its dangerous."
"Alright thank you." Calista said still unsure of who he was. "Whats your name?" She asked.
"I just said we aren't friends." He replied angrily. "Children." He said shaking his head before disappearing out the aisle.
Calista stood there unsure of what just happened. She knew then things were gonna be really different for her. She never expected to see him again but she knew he was strong and she had to be like him.
Six years Later
Calista landed on the ground firmly. She looked around and no one was paying attention. She walked into the Pub and looked around. She looked being in London. It had become one of her favorite spots to Jump to. She sat at her usual table and ordered a beer. She was minding her own business when she noticed a guy move rather quickly across the room.
She knew what he had just done. She shook her head knowing how stupid it was for him to do that. Anyone could've seen. Calista had learned the hard wat over the last six years how to deal with the Paladins. They did whatever they wanted and killed whoever they wanted which included her whole family, her Aunt, her two Uncles, and her younger cousins.
Calista knew it wasn't her responseability to warn him so she ignored it. She finished her beer and then headed back home to New York. It was a couple days later when she saw the same guy again. She decided to follow him, just to see where he would end up.
Soon he was in Rome with his girlfriend, she guessed thats who it was. She decided to spend some time alone and just leave the guy to learn by himself. Calista was sitting in the Colosseum when she noticed him walk in. Thats when she saw the two Paladins. This isn't going to be good, Calista thought. She stood up dusting her pants off. She was going to help until she saw him. It was the jumper who had saved her life, it was the guy who had left her all alone to learn everything on her own.
She watched him fight the Paladins with David. Soon an Italian came in yelling for the police. Calista watched them both disappear and decided to follow. She landed in what looked like a cave. David was gone and the Paladin was on the floor dead. "Where did you come from?" He asked looking at her.
"Well when two people love each other-" Calista began the same sarcasm in her voice that Griffin had in his.
"Whatever, what do you want?" He asked unsure. "You aren't supposed to be here or see any of this." He said.
"Have you been following David?" She asked. He looked at her unsure. "Fine don't answer me, whatever." Calista said rolling her eyes. "What are you gonna do with him?" She asked motioning to the body on the floor.
"I don't know, I might keep him and stuff. Make him a new friend." He said annoyed. "Why are you here?"
"I was wondering where you lived." Calista said looking around at everything seeming to be completely unaware of how bad Griffin wanted her to leave.
"Can't you just leave?" Griffin asked getting angry now.
"Whatever, you don't have to be so rude." She said shrugging at him. "Good luck with Roland." She said before disappearing.
Griffin starred at the spot the girl had just been. Who was she and what did she want? He knew she looked familiar but he couldn't place her. How did she know he was looking for Roland and that he had been following David this whole time. Griffin wanted answers and he was going to get them. He followed her jumpscar.
