The Little Guy And His Jinnie Chapter 42

The Little Guy And His Jinnie
Chapter 42

Jake cursed in his mind again as he tried to move his hand. Damn it! It had moved last night, so why wouldn't it now? It was terrifying enough that all he could move were the fingers on both hands. Though he wasn't numb, he might as well be unable to move. Hell, he was a sitting duck like he was.

Gen cringed when she heard her master curse again for the hundredth time. She was ashamed that hers and the other's magic healing had not only not protected him, it was also the fact that he was hurt as badly as he was. She'd already decided that she was sure that Master wouldn't be too pleased with her, but she'd do anything for him. She walked out of the vast room in the palace they were in and headed for the throne room.

Princess Amira saw her as she walked in and walked over to her. "My dear sister, were you looking for me?"

"No, princess, I wasn't this time. May I see your father the King if I may, and it is permitted?" Her father took aback Amira. What was going on in the mind of her sister Jinn?

"For any of Master Jake's Jinns, I am more than sure Father has time to see any of you." Still shaken, Princess Amira said that Gen, Master Jake's first Jinn, was asking to see her father. "Please wait here, Gen. May I tell Father what this is about?" Amira asked.

"I may have a way to help Master Jake to heal faster. I have to talk to your father, the King, to see if it is even possible." Gen said as she trembled a little. Steeling up the courage, she stood tall. She had to do this. If she didn't even try, she felt that her Master would hate her.

"Alright, please wait here, Gen. I'll go find Father," Amira said. She'd seen Gen tremble and then stand up tall, trying to be brave. What did the young Jinn have up her sleeve? I need to talk to her other sisters; Amira thought as she left the room and went out another door, heading for Master Jake's rooms.

Amira had talked to all of Jake's Jinns; the only one who knew what Gen might be up to was Rosalinda. Amira nodded after talking to her and then left to find her father. She just hoped that what she thought was about to happen did.

Perhaps an hour later, King Al-Mazhab walked in with a tight-lipped Princess Amira.

Gen quickly arose and then bowed low to the floor before the man. "King Al-Mazhab, I have a request of you, if I may?"

"For you and your master, I would move the dimensions themselves!" Came the King's deep voice. "Please leave us, daughter," The man said a moment later.

Princess started to open her mouth to protest but snapped it shut. She could still say nothing 'til she knew for a fact and her offer was accepted; at present, that wasn't possible. So, she retreated but not too far.

Gen watched as Princess Amira left; taking a deep breath, she stated her plan. "King Al-Mazhab, I remember a story my father told me many centuries ago—a story of the sacrifice of a Jinn for her Master. Please know, sir, I love Master deeply; I have for a time now. I request that you do an iizalat assault." Bowing low again, Gen did not see the look of shock on the King's face.

"No! If I were to do this, you would become human! You would die in a short time. You are a Jinn; you would fade after a few hours without your powers. A Jinn cannot become human and survive! No! I will not do that to my dear friend Rasmir! My child, think of what you ask!" The King said, almost begging Gen to reconsider.

"Sir," Gen replied as tears started to fall from her eyes, unashamed and unstopped. "It is all I have thought of; please, sir, if you don't, I fear that many will die this time if we are attacked. At least this way, Master will be whole again; only he can stop the evil that is coming."

"Child, I know that you love your Master more than I have seen in a very long time. I also realize that as his first, it is within your right to do this.
Again, I ask you to reconsider." The King replied.

"I have a better idea," came a voice from the door. What if we put you to sleep so you won't think of doing something as foolish as this again? As his first, you should also realize that he loved you longer and would suffer far more if you disappeared."

Lowering her head, Gen almost whispered, "It is my right as first Rosalinda; it is the only way."

Rosalinda laughed as she advanced upon Gen. "There are times you astound me with your wisdom. Then there are times like these that you shock me as to how young and inexperienced you are!"

Gen looked up at Rosalinda, and then her mouth fell open. "There is another way?!"

"Yes, little one, there are several. Now, let's leave the King alone. He is a busy man." Rosalinda bowed low to the King, saying, "Thank you, sir." Gen also turned as they both left.

Al-Mazhab was starting to leave when he caught sight of his daughter in the doorway of the next room with tears in her eyes. Sighing, he went to hold his daughter. "You love them, don't you? I always thought that the legend was a tale used to frighten children. That was right before we were all betrayed, and the leader of the evil ones destroyed this family."

Princess Amira looked up at her father, the tears starting to fall faster. "Father, what if he doesn't respond to me in kind? Father, I love them all, but I must know before I do anything more."

Al-Mazhab, sighing again, could only hold her tight. So much depended upon what the two Jinns that just left could do. He just hoped that Rosalinda was as knowledgeable about what was happening with Master Jake as he thought she was.

Nuha sighed, and they were finally ready to move; reaching out, she searched for the pitiful human and his pets. Nuha's eyes widened when she didn't feel him spreading out for tens, hundreds, and thousands of miles. There was no sign of the man or his Jinns!

Cursing, she looked back at her angry sister Fatin and then over at her Abla; they had to attack soon, or the talisman would consume Abla. She might be the weakest of the three, but she was still their sister. Cursing again, she reached for the odd cave-like box where the man and his Jinns lived.

Suddenly, angry Nuha destroyed buildings around them, and that human bastard was nowhere to be seen. Thinking a moment, Nuha suddenly smiled evilly and waved a hand.

Tankena appeared momentarily, surprised that he'd been summoned against his will. Looking around, he saw that the deadly trio was before him. Strange, he thought they looked entirely different.

"Hello, Tankena; I asked you here to help us out," Nuha said as she stared at the Jinn male.

He still stirred her blood as she was sure he did to his sister. Looking over at Abla, she thought of almost all of them. "I was searching for the bastard human. I was going to kill him today. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't feel him ANYWHERE!" Nuha reached out and held Tankena in the air. "Where has that shit gone to?!"

Tankena smiled evilly, a point that was not lost on Nuha. "He is in the Jinn Dimension, as are all of them. I tried to go and kill him when the leader stopped me. He said there was no way that I could get to him. The King and the Twin Princes and the Princess have been resurrected." Here, Tankena spit as he continued. The leader said that over 125 members of the royal army and most of the palace guards were back. The leader also said they would take the body of the Ever-Last Master!"

None of this was lost on Nuha as a wicked smile crossed her face. "You wish to follow the leader no longer?" Nuha said, knowing that even with the power all three of them had, the leader was far more adept at using dark Magic. "You know that the leader was a great yielder of the ancient dark magic, don't you?" Nuha asked of Tankena.

Tankena put a hand to his throat before he answered, "Yes, I am more than aware of that fact."

"Join us then, as I remember, only the leader had greater power than you did," Nuha told Tankena. "We leave for the Jinn dimension sisters. We have a new member in the family." Nuha said with a lustful laugh.

"I am sure that we can use you to your fullest!" Fatin was saying with a lustful look at his pants. Then she also laughed as she threw her head back and laughed evilly.

"We need to hurry, my dear trio," Tankena said a moment later. "I have it on good word that the human is completely paralyzed. It wasnoted thatttwilightthe dark Magi, c you had almost hit him within his body. It took all of his Jinns and the Royals to remove it."

Nuha began to curse. They had discovered and removed it. By the great Jinn, when he recovered, he would become immune, as would his Jinns to the power of the dark Magic! "We go now!" waving her arm, they all vanished.

It had been a whole day, and Jake felt like he would panic. So far, he could move his left hand and fingers. The fingers on his right hand. He was starting to move his left foot as well as the right. Jake groaned. It was finally taking everything he had to get those parts of him moving.

Sighing inside, he thought that he felt more muscular since those had started to move, but it was taking far too long! Gen? Where are you? You are the only one that can hear me right now. Jake thought out.

I am almost there, Master. I had to talk to the King for a few moments. Gen's thoughts came to him.

I need to talk to Akeesha and Inger. Is there any way that you can get them here? Jake asked.

Yes, Master, I am telling them right now. Master? Are you moving more? You feel stronger. Gen suddenly thought.

I am a little, but this is taking far too long. Please hurry. Jake said.

Within a few minutes, Akeesha, Inger, and Gen were alone in the room. Gen looked at Jake, then nodded, turning toward both Jinns.

"Master Jake wished me to call both of you here. I am unsure what he wants, but we will know soon." Gen waited while Jake gathered his thoughts. "Master Jake wishes to apologize to you first, Akeesha. He has tried his best to protect Sheeka; he loves her with all his heart. He also wishes to apologize to you, Inger, for the worry you must have felt because of what happened."

"Most of what has transpired, I have more than forgave him. Yes, Master Jake, we heard about what you did. Dark Magic was never meant to be in a human body. You are powerful to have withstood it as long as you did." Akeesha had tears falling from her eyes. "I also know that you did it for them and me. No human, especially a male, has ever thought I was worth anything. I hated you, hated you with every fiber of my being, but you never complained or retaliated; you are the first and only male I have ever felt respect for."

"Master Jake says he thanks you but wishes to say something when you are done," Gen told the two stunned Jinns.

"I am ashamed to admit, Master Jake, that I have doubted you until now, never again." Akeesha was now unable to hold back the tears.

"I also wish to thank you and apologize for not trusting you. You could have easily let the dark Magic hit one of us and been safe. I am beginning to see why they all love you as they do. Though I cannot say I love you, nor do I ever think I will, I wish to be your friend. A true friend for what you have done for all of us." Inger leaned down and kissed Jake on the cheek, surprising not only Akeesha and Gen but Jake and mostly Inger herself.

There was a flash as Inger was thrown back as soon as her lips left Jakes's cheek. Without even thinking, Jake reached up with BOTH arms and ribbed his cheeks. What the hell? Jake thought he felt twice as strong as he had!

Akeesha went to Inger, who was smiling; holy shit! That was the best damn feeling next to making love to Akeesha! "Inger, are you alright?" A worried Akeesha asked. But turned when she heard Gen gasp.

"Master Jake?" Gen was saying. "Master? By the great Jinn, you can move your arms!"

Jake was still amazed. He could swear he could feel the energy moving up his arms into his shoulder, and then it started to slow 'til it stopped when it reached his neck. Jake slowly turned his head as he looked at Inger on the floor, held by an even harder crying Akeesha.

Inger leaned over and whispered into Akeesha's ear. Nodding, Akeesha got up and turned to Jake. "I...I have to finish this while I still can."
Akeesha started. Mm. Mashamed, at I thought only the worst of you. I only hope that one day that you can forgive me." Akeesha said as she bowed low to Jake.

Stunned momentarily, Jake whispered, "There is nothing to forgive, my dear friend. At least I hope we can be friends." Akeesha's head snapped up when she heard Master Jake's voice. What in the hell was going on? A mere kiss had done this?

"Master Jake, I would be honored to be your friend." Leaning close, Akeesha whispered, "Perhaps one day, when you are well and have the time, I would like to bear a child for you." Jake's eyes flew wide, and then Akeesha, shocked them both, leaned in, and lightly kissed Jake's lips.

There was a booming gong sound as Akeesha was also thrown back as sparks flew between both Jake and her. Jake pulled himself to a sitting position, causing Gen to gasp further. "Are you alright?" A startled Jake said in a clear, strong voice.

"Yes, Master Jake, By the great Jinn, what was that?" Akeesha asked. The feeling that had gone through her reminded her of making love to Inger!

A moment later, the council appeared. "We heard the gong Master Jake is all well?" Rasmir asked as he looked around the room at both Inger and Akeesha on the floor against the walls.

"Yes, I believe, as you would say, another part of this legend was fulfilled," Jake said, startling all councilors there. "Both of them wished to be my friend and kissed me."

Rasmir smiled. The man-hater, as had her female lover, had finally found respect for a male. Sighing, Rasmir thought that meant that the war, the final battle, was close.
