The Mental Link 5

Yppah stepped back. The flashing in Jakeob's eyes was almost unnatural. He stood up, glaring at him. Unbeknownst to him, Kia had regained slight consciousness as she hit the floor, no longer cradled by his arms.
"You heard me, Yppah," Jakeob said cooly. "I'm the brain here. She needs me. You're just the muscle."
Yppah flew backwards, hitting the wall as Jakeob unleashed a large blast of his magic. And again, and again, and again. Yppah had never burnt so bad. He'd been hurt before, worse than this, but then again, this was different.
Jakeob stopped for a minute. Yppah stood up, shaking, holding the wall for support.
"But you aren't so tough now, are you?" Jakeob tilted his head. "I've never seen you this hurt."
"Trust me, bro- been there, done that, got the t-shirt." Yppah chuckled.
"Covering the pain with jokes." His gaze darkened.
"Isn't that what Kia does?" Yppah grinned.
"Don't."
"Silly old me thought that if I acted like her, you'd stop." Yppah opened his arms. "And yet here we are."
"Don't."
"But you're still giving me the time to catch my-"
"I SAID DON'T!" Jakeob waved his arm, and the biggest blast of them all shot for Yppah.
Time seemed to slow down for Yppah as he watched Kia jump in front of him and take the full power of the blast.
The smoke cleared to Kia, unconscious yet again, crumpled on the floor. Both men realized what they had done.
"Oh gods, no!" Jakeob fell to his knees in front of her body, checking it frantically. "No, Kia, why did you do that?"
She was still breathing, but the force of Jakeob's blast on her already worn-out body was taking its toll.
"Oh, Kia..." Jakeob held her tight, sobbing. "You didn't have to do that."
"And yet she did." Yppah crossed his arms. "Why?"

Death's Duty Calls, Act 2- The Queen, Part 1- The Father

Act 2 - The Queen Part 1- The Father The curtain rises on the forest. The campsite is gone. The forest is still there. Jason and Jay are walking across the scene, with their bags on their backs. They stop about one-quarter of the way across the stage, stop, and turn back.  JASON- Daryn. Pick up the pace. Daryn jogs up to them, panting. He leans against Jay, who steps back. He slips and hits the ground. DARYN, out of breath - It’s not my fault that I don’t have as much endurance as you two. JAY- You wouldn’t survive a day with Conrad and Aletha. JASON- He’s a prince. He’s soft. Daryn shoots up. DARYN- I’m not soft! I’m strong! Watch me! He pulls Jason’s sword off Jason’s belt and swings it at a tree with no effect. JASON- You’re strong-willed. That’s… good enough. DARYN- Yeah. I’m strong. He puffs out his chest and parades around Jay and Jason.  JAY, sarcastic - Ha, ha. Hilarious. C’mon. We need to get to her lair before sundown, or else fighting he...

Interrogation (Part 1)

I stare at the dimly lit interrogation room I've been stuck in. The cold metal around my wrists chains me to the table. I struggle against these bonds. My captor, Luke, walks into the room. His tousled brown hair falls over his purple eyes. I tighten my lips. I’m not giving any information. I have to protect myself. I have to protect Mom and Dad. I have to protect Dangiras, Kaelie and Mackenzie. I have to protect Zachary. I have to protect Ella. "Talk." Luke bangs his fist on the table, making my chains rattle. I turn my head up and away, like a baby refusing food. I slit my eyes. "Jackelle Alexandria Mixel." Luke growls. "Talk." Damn. No one uses my full name anymore. Hell, I don’t think anyone knows my full first name other than my parents! "I’ll talk," I grin. "But you won’t be getting the information you seek. And please," My smile fades. "call me Jackie, like all the other normal people in my life." Luke raise...

Mental Link Part 6

Kia coughs. Twice. Harder. Jakeob puts her back, and Yppah instinctively gets closer to her by pushing Jakeob to the side. She sits up and looks straight at Jakeob and not Yppah. "Jake? Why would you..." "Shhhhh. Cuz." Yppah turned her head to look at him. "Jakey boy is on a bit of an... emotional roller coaster right now. Look at me." "Jakeob," she said hoarsely. "Please..." Yppah growled a little bit. "Why the hell is it all about him ?" Kia went red and looked down sheepishly. "Yppah, please... I just want to see Jakeob..." Yppah sat next to her. "Explain." "Explain what, cuz?" Kia asked. "Why do you still trust him, even after he hooked you up to a poorly built machine, made you horribly sick through said machine, and almost blew you to bits?" Yppah said, feeling tears start to well up in his eyes. Jakeob sat on the other side of Kia, looking at his feet. Kia didn't noti...
