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 notice this, her eyes still locked on Yppah in rage.
"Why do you still trust me after I attempted to kill your best friend by mistake?" She returned. "After I lost control of my magic and almost killed you? After every shitty thing I've ever told you?" The corner of her mouth twitched and tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Tell me why, Yppah."
"Because I love you," he sputtered. "You're my cousin, I'll always forgive you... because you matter to me."
"Well then." Kia's eyes gleamed and she raised her voice to try and drown out the sob in her voice. "I still trust Jakeob is because I love him. I love him more than I should be allowed to. We're not family and I still love him. I'll always forgive him because he matters to me."
She shook and finally let out her sobs. She cried and cried, and Yppah just sat there in shock.
"Kia..." Jakeob said softly.
She stopped crying and turned around. "H-Hey Jake..."
He looked like he was about to cry too.
"Kia." His voice shook. "I love you, too..."

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...

The Mental Link- Part 2

Silver light blasted through the tube. It flashed, then intensified. Kia screamed. "Is this normal?" Yppah asked nervously as her screams of pain continued. "Umm.... no." Jakeob stared at his computer. "I think..." Yppah blocked his ears. "You think what?" "This isn’t in my calculations." Jakeob traced the computer screen. "Luke fortified the link so she couldn’t lose it this way." Yppah stared at the shadow of his cousin grabbing her skull in pain. "Can you stop it?" "There’s only one way to make it stop." Jakeob looked at him with a glint in his eye. "I have to make it stronger." " WHAT ?" Yppah grabbed Jakeob by the shoulders. "Dude, are you insane ? You’re going to make it more powerful, and so  more painful? And that’s supposed to fix the screaming Kia problem?" "I wish I could make it easier on her." Jakeob whispered. "I’ve just made her closer to...
