The Little Guy and His Jinnie Chapter 67

The Little Guy and His Jinnie
Chapter 67

Though Mirror Zahra was returning Jake's kiss with all her being, she still had to get him away from her. To her surprise, Jake pulled her closer with a strength she hadn't thought he possessed.

Mirror Zahra had just barely regained more than half of the control. Now that the other Zahra was using the power-siphoning spell, she would soon become the dominant personality again.

Breaking the kiss with Jake was one of the hardest things she'd ever done. "Please, master Jake, run, vanish, get away from me. She will destroy you and, most likely, me when she takes your power. Get away, and don't let her have any more!"

"As I said before, you'll soon see. I want her to take the power; I hope that it puts an end to her once and for all," Jake told her with a crooked smile. "Besides, I find that you kiss most delightfully. I also find that I don't want to stop."

Mirror Zahra didn't want to either. It was beautiful, just as wonderful as she remembered from the dream. Still, she couldn't see what she could gain by allowing all his Jinn power to be absorbed. Wait! Master Jake was now Jinn Jake?! Though she knew not to, she was soon pressing her body as close to Jake as she could. By the great Jinn! Jake's hardness was pressed against her. She was slowly succumbing to his charms.

Jake could hear all his Jinns counting down the strength of his power. {Be ready; you won't have long after it's all gone to clear me out of here. Then, I am afraid that I might be in bed for a while.}

He heard several giggling voices as Gen replied, {we are sure that ALL of us will be able to nurse you back to health, one way or another.}

Damn, Jake thought, I don't think letting me up for a while is in their vocabulary. They might love me to death, but then again, I can't think of a worse way to go, that's for sure.

Again, Jake heard a few giggling voices, and Mirror Zahra gasped. Damn, she was right. The siphoning is going faster. Shaking his head, he looked deep into mirror Zahra's eyes. "Just wait; you'll see why soon enough."

Sublime pleasure washed over her again as Jake started to press as close as possible to her. By the great Jinn, she thought. If she were to pass now, she felt that she'd finally be complete. She felt the last of Jinn Jake's power pass into her a moment later.

Jake also felt the last of the power as it was leaving his body. Almost, he thought, nearly, then with the last of his strength, he violently threw himself back from Zahra's body. Damn, this is harder than I thought it would be. Mirror Zahra felt him push away as she also tried to help him.

They both felt almost soul-ripping as they separated. The power siphoning suddenly stopped as the last of the power was gone. Smiling, Jake tried to move further from Zahra's body. It appeared that Mirror Zahra was also. He felt so weak now, just a little more, he thought.

He looked back as he saw AND felt that mirror. Zahra was starting to lose her fight to keep control. Damn it, he thought she'd last longer. Clawing harder, he felt his strength decline faster. Finally, he felt hardly anything of Zahra's influence. Now he thought!

Zahra was ripping as viciously as she could to regain control. That little bitch, she'd defiled the body, kissing and holding Master Jake so close. However, she thought as she paused, it felt so... NO! Her thoughts screamed as she felt mirror Zahra gain a bit of control back, trying to move further from Master Jake.

Even as Zahra suppressed the mirror, she saw all of the Jinns appear around Jake. "You bastard! Thinking that you, as a Jinn, could defeat me, ME! The greatest elite Jinn that has ever existed! Savor your victory. With your power, nothing will stop me. That includes the king. I am coming to take it all!"

Jake started to laugh even as they all began to vanish. Letting loose a titanic blast, Zahra was disgusted when it was bounced off. Laugh at her? She was so going to enjoy destroying that repulsive human male. Then she smiled evilly as if losing all his power didn't kill him.

All of them appeared in the palace with a convulsing and gasping Jake. The doctor's eyes were large as he extended his hands over Jake. By the great Jinn, ALL the power was gone! Not a single ounce of it remained! Shaking his head, he hoped there was something that he could do for the man. Slowly, Jake started to breathe easier.

Looking up, he saw Hime motioning for him closer, bending low over Jake. The man started to whisper into the doctor's ear. The doctor nodded briefly; then his head snapped up as his eyes widened. By the great Jinn! Could it be that easy? He wasn't sure; Jake hadn't been wrong yet.

Standing, Hime looked at the small sea of worried female faces. How in the hell could that be a cure? Shrugging, the Doctor walked to each anxious female Jinn, whispering in their ears. Confusion broke out as they nodded and walked to where Jake lay.

First, Inger walked to Jake, bowing to him. She thanked him for Akeesha's life and then lightly kissed him. They were both shocked when she and he first started to glow. Next, Akeesha knelt, kissing Jake passionately, both glowing.

Next, Nyrae kissed him, tears falling softly from her eyes. " You can not pass. I will use all my power to." She stopped when Jake touched her mouth.

"You will protect our daughter first and foremost. All will be well if this works like I believe it will." Jake replied. Nyrae could only stare at Jake and then slowly nodded. Master Jake hadn't been wrong yet; she just had to keep her faith.

Sheeka, Rashala, and Rosalinda each added their kiss, glowing with Jake. Finally, Gen and Amira walked to Jake together. "My Jake, I am sorry that I doubt your plan. I have seen far too many Jinns cease when they lose all their power. I fear that this will also happen to you. I will gladly sacrifice myself to save you, my master, my love," Gen whispered to Jake.

"No, my Gen, you will survive to raise our child. We will all be fine if everything works as I believe it will. Now then," Jake said, looking at both of them.

"I do not recall anything like what you are doing, Master Jake. No one has ever heard of a way to save a Jinn after losing all of their power. For the sake of our daughter and all your children, I pray to the great Jinn that you are correct," a sad Amira said.

Both leaned in, kissing Jake like the others, and they started to glow. Then Jake did, though as they moved away, he did not stop. Jake's glowing started to grow brighter until no one could see him. Then, just as suddenly, it was gone, as was Jake!

Seven female Jinn voices cried out, as did Mary's. Turning, they looked at the Doctor with anger.

"Where in the hell did he go!?" Mary shouted, voicing all the other's concerns.

Hime hung his head as he stated, "I know not. This was all part of his plan. He asked me to trust him. After what he has done for the Jinn world, myself, and my Truly," he shook his head. "I can't doubt him, not even when all I know says he is gone."

All the council had appeared watching the proceedings; they were confused. Had Jake discovered a way to survive? There was much crying in the room as they could only wait. Hime sat with a thud, noticing that neither Jake's four Jinns was growing weaker or fading. Yes, they'd have to wait.

Jake was floating in a vast grey area, unlike the dream plane. Well, he thought, I made it, I guess.

"So," came a booming loud voice. "It has been an extremely long time since I have had a visitor." There was a sudden rushing of power, and then the great Jinn appeared beside Jake, towering over him. "I know why you are here. It has never been done before; there are many risks involved." The Great Jinn nodded, "I see you aren't risking that much; please explain."

"I am willing to let go if I have to. With my last recent act, I have finally freed the Jinn dimension. I do not want the lives of my Jinns to end. However, if you ask them, it will if I pass. I remember seeing that you and you alone can restore a life, though it has to be for a reason that overshadows all others. I ask not for myself but for love, the most powerful magic there is. I love the Jinn people, the human race, and the love for both dimensions, as well as the Jinns who also love me. All I did was for them, not myself." Jake relayed the sadness permeating his voice.

"I have seen all this and more, Jake Freemon. I will consider." A chair and table laden with food appeared here. "Sit, appease your hunger," The Great Jinn said, then vanished.

Thinking of what he'd like, a plate with food appeared before him. While starting in on the food, Jake was surprised when he was still going an hour later, not wholly stated yet!

Finally complete, Jake saw a bed appear beside the table. Stretching, he realized that he was far more tired than he at first thought he was. Getting up, he was surprised when both the table and chair vanished. Laying down, Jake was asleep within seconds.

To say he dreamed would be inaccurate; to say he didn't would be a lie. Though what it was, it might be an almost waking nightmare. All Jake knew was nothing good was happening. Then, to make matters worse, Zahra showed up holding the mirror twin by the throat, laughing sadistically as she slowly crushed the life from her.

"Now," Zahra said, an evil smile on her lips. "The bitch is dead, you won't touch me again! Though I hope you do try, then I can rip the flesh from your bones as I so slowly consume your life."

Laughing in his face, Zahra vanished, leaving the broken body of her twin at Jake's feet. Jake pulled the body close to him as tears started to fall. Then, to his utter horror, he saw the face of all the Jinn's he loved. Then he saw those who had helped him.

Standing with the body, Jake growled as he yelled into the air. "You haven't won, Zahra! I will make you pay for this!"

Suddenly, Jake was flying through the dreamscape; his eyes snapped open. Looking around, he saw the Great Jinn sitting nearby.

"Never before have I met one like you—such strong life energy and will, just as strong as your love. There is no way I can deny your request. However, I must warn you, Master Jake, this won't be easy nor quick," The Great Jinn said, his face grave.

Jake looked at the Great Jinn and then asked, "You sound almost like I have to die."

When the Great Jinn didn't say anything, Jake nodded. "I am afraid it is the only way. With the strength you have, though, I feel you will prevail. Now shall we begin?" The Great Jinn finally said.

Jake swallowed hard, then nodded. Jake lay back as several thick ropes, straps, and metal restraints appeared, securing him to the bed.

"So we begin," the Great Jinn said, raising its hands. Jake's eyes went wide as a high-pitched scream came out of his mouth. He'd thought he'd felt pain before, but he was wrong, very wrong.

Gen, Rosalinda, Sheeka, Rashala, and Amira were all sitting together, trying to comfort each other. Mary sat nearby with Inger and Akeesha. They were all mostly whispering when Mary suddenly sprung to her feet.

Inger quickly grabbed her as the woman started to sway. Just as suddenly, massive tears began falling; Mary stared straight ahead. Akeesha looked into Mary's eyes, seeing the lost, lonely, and vacantness within them.

"NO!" Mary suddenly screamed as she clutched her stomach. "NO! NO! NO! Please, no." This last, she whispered as her father Juno was also there holding her. "Father, I can feel him getting further away. I can barely feel him at all. My god, it almost feels like he is dying!"

This brought all the others to Mary, and they started crying with her. Juno looked at the council, especially Rasmir, to see if they could give any help. When they all sadly shook their heads, Juno felt they might lose Jake this time. He just hoped that Jake was as sure as he said he was.

Turning, Juno whispered to Mary, who clutched his arm with a death grip. "We both know he is far more resourceful than any we have ever seen. Hell, he stayed hidden from me for years; that, you know, is damn impossible. As smart as he is, I'm sure he has a surefire plan."

"I hope so, Father," came Mary's tear-strained voice.

Juno nodded as he thought, I do also, Mary. God, I hope so.

Zahra screamed when Jake disappeared. That human ass! How dare he think that he could defeat her. A thin smile crossed her lips as she thought he'd be dead soon if he weren't already. As soon as she knew, nothing or no one could stop her.

Stretching her arms, she felt the extra power she had taken from that newbie Jinn Jake. What a fool, she thought. It was almost as if he wanted her to... Oh Shit! Reaching in, she could feel the stolen power better now. It wasn't melding with her power; if anything, it was starting to interfere with all her magic.

From deep inside, Zahra could feel the mirror Zahra laughing. So, finally, you have met your match in deception. You have already taken the power; now it will eat away at you 'til you are gone. A fitting end to you!

I don't see why you are laughing; if I die, you do. Please help me, then we can both live. Zahra told her mirror twin.

No, they can be accessible with your evil, gone forever. You forget I died the day you took MY body. Better to go now than to suffer as a prisoner another day! Goodbye bitch; finally, the world will be right again. In case you haven’t noticed, your mistress is gone. With that mirror, Zahra seemed almost to disappear from within.

Zahra started to scream at her mirror self, but she received no answer. Trying to calm herself, she sat down and tried to find anything that could help her. She also sent out a few tendrils to seek where her mistress was.

Desperately, she started going as far back in her memories as possible. Several hours later, she had found nothing that could help. Still desperate, she tried to remain calm, feeling the stolen power trying to interfere even more.

It had been an excellent half day when she felt one of her tendrils returning. Good, maybe she'd hear about that ass master Jake dying, screaming in great pain. With a wicked smile, she accepted the tendril back then. She was horrified to learn that Jake was not only still alive, but he was missing!

Shaking her head, she was sure that she had felt him dying. What in the hell was going on? Almost a day later, Zahra finally discovered a way to fix herself, Nuha! The bad thing was that it took nearly all Zahra to keep Nuha under control. Sighing, she had to try, or her existence would end soon.

Reaching out to Zahra brought Nuha to her. "I want you to use your dark magic and rid this body of its poison." She ordered Nuha.

Nuha was sweating. Most of Zahra's control was gone, though she still had enough to keep her here. For a moment, Nuha felt a significant weakening. She'd managed to shield a section of her mind and her power, though not enough.

Trying not to smirk, she could feel the stolen power of Jinn's energy within Zahra. Ah, yes. It was indeed poisonous to her. Trying to resist, Nuha almost felt herself break free; then she felt the control clamp down again.

"I don't think so, you bitch! I can't leave nor raise a hand to you yet; you haven't the power to force me to do anything. All I have to do is wait I-" Nuha was saying, then she was screaming in pain.

Zahra's lips formed an evil smile, "you might be right, though I can make you suffer greatly. Perhaps you'll go mad before I pass; let's find out, you bitch!" Zahra's smile got more prominent as Nuha started to scream louder.

Jake felt as if every piece of skin on his body was being played repeatedly. He tried to stay conscious, but it quickly became a losing battle.

Right before he finally lost the fight, he managed to look over at the Great Jinn. Was he imagining things, or did the Great Jinn have a look of respect on his face?

I'm not sure Jake felt another surge of energy within. This helped to delay his unconsciousness, though only barely. He had to fight for all his Jinns.
They were all his loves; he'd do anything to protect them.

Again, the great Jinn respected Jake. "It shouldn't be long now, master Jake. I'd say only a few more hundred years. Sleep now; the worst of the danger is gone."

Jake nodded as he felt his body grow heavy. Then he felt a weakness he'd never had before. Looking at the Great Jinn, Jake's eyes went wide as he realized what he was feeling.

Barely a whisper, Jake asked, "Will I remember? When is it over?"

The Great Jinn smiled sadly. " Most, though, there is quite a bit that will be lost—the secrets of the Jinn, most and foremost. However, as you have discovered, love is the most powerful magic that will more than protect you. Sleep and awaken anew."

Jake nodded as his eyes closed. Strangely, he thought this dying was much more peaceful than expected.

Back in the council chambers, Mary was screaming uncontrollably. Standing, she marched to where Marie was still frozen.

Drawing her hand back, the crack of her palm met Marie's face, startling everyone. "You bitch! Because of you, the most wonderful, brave, and loving man has died. I will ensure you suffer for as long as I can!" With that, Mary slapped her mother even harder, drawing blood from the reddened skin on Marie's face.

Marie's eyes were looking around wildly as the blood slowly seeped down her face.

Gen took Mary into her arms as they both started to convulse, their cries echoing through the chambers. A moment later, the rest of his Jinns joined them, along with Mary's. They were still holding each other almost thirty minutes later when a shimmering was near them.

A moment later, the Great Jinn appeared beside them. They all bowed to him except for Mary. Rushing forward, she pointed a finger at the Great Jinn.

"YOU! You were supposed to help him, the only one who could. Yet, you let that great man die all he did for this dimension. Why couldn't you save him?! Mary accused the Great Jinn.

The Great Jinn nodded as Mary went through her tirade. Then he bowed to her and all of Jake's Jinns. Lifting its arm, an unconscious Jake floated through what appeared to be a black portal.

"He will need all that fiery love you have for him." Here, he looked at Inger. "Yes, even you, Inger, you think I do not know what's in a Jinn's heart?" With that, the Great Jinn smiled slightly, shrunk to a ball, and popped out.

The Doctor breathed a sigh of relief as he examined Jake, the others waiting nearby holding their breath. When the Doctor stood, smiled, and nodded yes, there was a whoosh as they all released their held breath. Then they were gathered around Jake as he groaned, trying to sit up.

"Damn, what in the hell hit me?" Looking confused at the sea of faces, he looked at the doctor, then where he was. "What in the hell am I doing here?"

The Doctor nodded, so it was true. Master Jake died, therefore losing more than a few days of memory.

"I will do my best to explain when I return." The Doctor said as he bowed to Jake. "I need to check on Trully, then I'll return."

Jake nodded as he remembered that the female Doctor was powerless and pregnant. Thank god it wasn't his; he had enough children growing up right now. First, he had to go after the last four pieces of terror—namely, The Trio, though the two youngest he didn't see having a problem with. No, just Nuha and Zahra.

Thinking for a moment, something seemed to be nudging at his mind. He suddenly knew that Zahra wouldn't be a problem much more. Sighing, he shook his head; Nuha would be a problem. Suddenly he cocked his head to the side as a broad smile dominated his features. Ok, so maybe Nuha wouldn't be a problem, at least after he confronted her.

Almost a week later, Jake and his Jinns appeared in front of the same building he'd been at with Zahra. Jake took a deep breath—this was dangerous even with her in her current state. A moment later, he could feel Zahra approaching.

"Well damn, here I thought you'd do the honor of dying on me. I don't have the time to waste on you. Jake started to laugh, though he didn't mean to. He couldn't help it. The crap that Zahra was spewing was the funniest thing he'd heard in a long time.

"You dare to laugh at me? I'll kill you-" Zahra started.

Jake's face suddenly went deadly serious, "No, I don't think so, you pathetic bitch. I'm surprised that you have lasted this long." Jake said as he pointed a finger at her. She started to yell and then grabbed her stomach and head.

Screaming, her eyes got wide as her body started to split in two. "It is over, Zahra. Thank Master Jake. Now I can go knowing that I helped, if only in this one thing." Mirror Zahra said.

"No! If I die, you die; we have so much left to do." Evil Zahra gasped out.

"No, it is done." With a last scream, the two separated, and the evil side faded. "I thank you for saving me and your love." Mirror Zahra started to fade, and the energy was drawn into Gen. Smiling at Jake, she gently rubbed her stomach.

Jake thought that was the first part; he waited for what he felt would happen. They didn't have long to wait, and there was a sudden loud screaming as Nuha appeared before them.

"So you have finally defeated her. I guess you expect me to be a weepy female? All thankful, kissing your ass. Got news for you," Nuha said with a sneer. "It isn't going to happen."

Jake nodded. "I didn't expect you to, Nuha. You'd want to confront me, so I am still here. You're free, as are your sisters. I have no grudge nor revenge." Jake turned his back to walk away, taking a deep breath. He hoped that this worked.

Nuha floated there for a few moments as she watched Jake walk away. No demands? No forcing her to do anything? Then her face screwed up into a scowl. No, this ass of a human male was up to something.

Nuha caught up to Jake, stopping in front of him. "What are you up to? No human has ever not demanded something, especially a human male."

Jake looked at Nuha in pain, "I want nothing from you. I told you that you are free." With that, Jake walked past her. He could almost feel the hairs on his neck standing up.

"No! No human male ever wants anything. though if that is your wish?" Here, Nuha started to power up a sadistic smile on her lips. "Then I'll ensure you never demand anything of me!" With that, she begins to release her blast at Jake. Then she suddenly found that she couldn't move.
"What!? What trick is this? Release me, you filthy human male!"

Jake looked at her as he sadly shook his head. "It isn't me. It's her." Jake watched as Nuha's face grew more confused.

Perhaps I should explain, father? Came a voice in all their heads, to which Jake nodded. I can not allow you to hurt father, mother!

Nuha looked at Jake with a scowl, "What is this trick?" She started, and then her eyes grew large.

Mother as many children as you have had. Thank you, Father; I believe I can handle Mother now. The voice said as Jake nodded toward Nuha.

"I'll see you one day soon, Nuha," Jake said.

"In your damn dreams, you-" Nuha snarled back.

Mother! I guess we are going to work on that nasty attitude. Another—the voice said as Nuha popped out.

Jake nodded as he took a step, then stumbled a bit. Suddenly, several sets of arms held him up. "Thank you, all of you." All his Jinns and those close to him smiled, then nodded as they vanished.

Several months later

Jake was resting beside Jake Jr's crib. Thankfully, nothing had marred his birth. He was also glad that Akeesha was as loving to their daughter Gamila as she and Inger were, though Inger was also proud of Jake Jr.

Rosalinda  Dreama also seemed far more loving toward their and his baby Tadita. Smiling, he was glad that they hadn't had a repeat of the incident that Amira and Aaliyah went through.

Then there was Gen, sighing. He wasn't sure what was going on with her. Hime had assured him that the baby was exceedingly healthy, and he was glad about that, though the baby still hadn't uttered a word that worried him.

Then there was the fact that Nuha was out there somewhere with another daughter of his that he’d just discovered he had. Shaking his head, he knew she was more than a match for her mother, but he still worried.

Jake was almost asleep when he received a message; nodding his head, he stepped out of the room. Reaching out, he called all his Jinns. A moment later, all seven of them appeared.

"Thank you. I just received a message that Nuha is on her way here. Though I don't feel any danger, I still want you near." All of them nodded as they all powered up. A moment later, Nuha appeared with a startled look on her face.

Bowing low before Jake, she presented him with a small bundle. "I have come to a... apol... apologize. This is hard for me. It appears I was wrong about many things, at least about you, master Jake." Here, she unwrapped the bundle. "I wish to present to you our daughter."

"Hello, Father. It is good to see you." The baby stated.

"She needs a name; I thought you would like the honor. You never lied to me, Master Jake; you are the first. It took all these months to know that, plus the feelings I had finally." Nuha said, tears forming in her eyes.

Jake looked at the baby girl. "Jade, she is as precious as the stone as all our children are." Nuha smiled, nodding as she asked for permission to stay a bit.

That was 'til Gen suddenly told Jake it was time. As she lay down, her stomach opened. Then, like before, a baby girl floated up, Gen's stomach closing as if nothing had happened.

"Hello, father," the baby girl said. "Thank you for what you did. I will try to always honor you for it."

"I know you will, Zahra," Jake said with a smile. I hope that you can keep that promise, Zahra. At least with him as her father, she'd have a damn good chance.
