Part 15: The Drow Girl

Evie looks in shock as she sees what Jake is doing. "Jake..Jake! Stop! Don't do this to Xander! Please he's your comrade."

"Comrade? This filth is nothing but an enemy..hurdle to get over..something that needs to be dealt with permanently." He says making eye contact with Evie.

Evie looks into his eyes terrified as she doesn't see his eyes that were once the same look as the universe, now it looks like an endless void staring back at her. "Jake.." she gets between Jake and Xander activating her shield. "I can't let you do this Jake..this isn't you. You wouldn't hurt one of your comrades like this, he just didn't understand what you were...even I don't.."

Jake lowers his hand as he eyes flicker with light, as he drops to one knee as he body tries to fight him. A feminine voice leaves Jakes mouth"You're awake little brother.. go back to sleep and I'll handle this"

Jake holds his head "Get...out of my head!" A white and black aura emits from Jake's body as he begins to struggle against himself. "Agh!"

Evie picks up Xander "Let's get you somewhere safe…" she says walking him over to Jaden and Leslie.

Leslie looks around and then looks at Jaden "Sooo I have a question.."

"What?! We are kinda watching something intense going on!!" Jaden says not taking his eyes off Jake.

"Where's the Drow?" Leslie says looking around "I can't find her anywhere.."

"I think she's right next to Jake...OH MY GOD SHE'S NEXT TO JAKE" Jaden says running out of cover towards the Drow. "Hey stop!"

The Drow girl reaches her hand out towards Jake as Evie sees that her eyes are glowing. She touches his shoulder as a green light wraps around Jake.

A green light appears inside Jake's mind pushing the darkness that was once smothering away.

"You have a magic user here…? Oh.. it's that Drow.." Jake here's Maribel saying in his head.

"Don't you dare hurt her Maribel!" Jake says looking around for her.

"I wouldn't dare little brother...she has done nothing for me to wish her harm..besides she's just a little girl." Maribel says as her voice starts to fade away. "Well it was fun playing with your friend Xander, oh! And please don't get killed, especially by your friends." Maribel says as her voice fades out completely, leaving Jake by himself.

Jake looks up to the glowing light grabbing it as everything around him light ups and he opens his eyes seeing Xander, Evie, and the Drow girl.

"Wh-what happened?" Jake says holding his head "The last thing I remember was Xander..he was trying to.." he groans as the markings on his body disappears.

The Drow girl looks at him "Are you okay now?" She says looking at him curiously.

Jaden runs over and checks on the girl and Jake "Hey! Are you two good?! I saw a green light wrap around you Jake and now you're not all monster mode."

Jake looks up to Jaden then at the Drow girl "Uh..yeah I think I'm okay.." he pats her head "I think she saved me." He says smiling at the Drow. "Say...what's your name?"

The Drow smiles back "I don't have a name…"

"Jaden a little help?!" Evie says motioning for him to come over "Xander really had a number dealt onto him!"

Jaden nods "Right! I'm coming!" He looks at the Drow and Jake smiling at them while he leaves.

Jake picks the girl up "Hmm, how about Nora? Do you like that name?"

The Drow gets a bit cheerful "Mm!"

Jake holds Nora as he walks over to the group. Xander is lying there being healed by Jaden as Evie and Leslie are watching.

Xander shifts himself to sit up, as he draws his sword towards Jake "Stay back…"

Jake looks down to Xander "I'm not going to hurt you Xander, I never wanted to fight you."

Xander Mithril armor disappears as he drops the sword looking up to him "What are you?"

Jake places Nora down and she walks over to Leslie. "Honestly, I don't even know and I'm sorry I kept what I can as a secret you guys. I never meant to be sneaking with what I can do."

Jaden pats Jake on the back "Will

Help you find out exactly what you are!"

Leslie nods at him "Oh yeah we wi-" Nora pulls at his shirt

"Can I play with the cat?" She says smiling at him.

"Cat? I don't have a cat.." Leslie says confused

Evie looks at everyone "Here's another thing that we need to work on, our compatibility as a group. What happened today was extremely dangerous and we shouldn't fight among ourselves unless we are training. That being said, Jake I already told you I'm here for you, but you need to get control of your powers..you did two things that none of us have seen before…"

"Yeah..I've noticed.." he says looking at his hands.
