[Jessy Jackson]

I barely heard Doc's words above the feirce pounding in my head. I was struggling to regain control, all the time flying closer to my friends.

[Maya]

"Oh bugger." I sighed. I killed another slig, and still keeping my eyes open for attacks, reached out with my mind to Jessy.
[Jess? Wake up sweety, i know you're in there. You're in control, not the dragon. Talk to me, girl.]

[Aredhel]

((oh wow.... I kinda forgot I was a part of this thread at the beginning... now I'm sad I missed the action *pout*))

This was not good. Sligs were annoying enough, but a full-sized Dragon who wanted to eat you was a completely different matter. A simple annoyance had grown into a very big (no pun intended) problem. How did you deal with a dragon? I think Mai was on the right track.

"Jessy!" I shouted. "Lasto beth nin! Tolo dan nan galad!"

Hear my voice. Come back to the light!

I wasn't quite sure why I lapsed into my own tongue. It was actually a spell, the most basic and yet most effective spell I knew. "Come back to the light" could be used for just about anyone. Anything. It was perfect. I only hoped it worked, if only a little bit. I couldnt risk something happening to anyone out here. Except maybe the sligs, I wouldn't care if more of them died.

[Jessy Jackson]

Aredhel's words rebounded around my head. Suddely I was in a... well call it a space. As far as the eye could see there was nothing.
"Ho hum," i said. Suddenly I was thrown head first into nothing. Looking back I saw a small evil green mini tyrial. He seemed only about a foot tall. I stifled laughter. "where am I?" I asked in amuusement.

[glow=red,2,300]"In the recesses of your own mind."[/glow] replied the mini evil dude.

"Right, so how do I get out?" I asked, amused at the tiny tyrial.

[glow=red,2,300]"You shall never escape for you must defeat me to do so!"[/glow] replied the dwarf. He smiled.

I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. I was still laughing when the mini tyriel grew 7ft tall and threw me againstt a wall that had appeared. "Oh. Dear."

[Azoth (Kyler)]

I senced inside Jessy, dark magic, something was in her mind, but I couldn't tell what it was... something powerful, something too powerful for Jessy to control...

"Jessy'd mind is infested with dark magic!" I told those who were around me, "and not the type that I can simply suck out either... there's somethingf else there!"

"What do you mean?" Maya asked when she saw that neither her nor Aredhel could make Jessy come back to reality.

I saw the dragon (Jessy) fall to the floor it's back looked bruised and swolen, "We must awaken her QUICKLY!!!" I alarmed everyone, "or she will die..."

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

I looked over Jessy's form. Bruises continually appeared on her body, but no one touched her.

"Mental battle," I surmised.

"A large one," Zeroc agreed.

"Damn it to hell," I growled. I should have noticed something before this. "Del, Mai, this is your turf. Work your magic, ladies."

[Jessy Jackson]

I was desperatley sparring with tyriel ad seemed to be making some headway when he laughed. "What are you laughing about? I'm kicking your butt."

[glow=red,2,300]"You can never defeat me. I can use your imagination against you. I can find your deepest fears. I can rule your mind!"[/glow]

"Use my fears..." I cowered back as a man strode out of the nothing.

"What are you doing here bitch? Look at me bitch! You're a useless freak. Why should I waste my money on you? Your mother was stupid. She died to protect you. It's all your fault she's dead. Your fault."

"No," I moaned, "no."

"Yes you litle cow. It's all your fault. Your a murderer and a freak. You know what we do to freaks?" My dad raised his fist and pain hit me.

[Aredhel]

I had to work at keeping myself from pummelling Doc, reminding myself that Maya and I were the magical mind-readers of the group. It was the natural assumption to make, and I would have done the same had I been Doc.

"Our turf?!" I screeched out nonetheless. "Our turf?! This is Jessy's turf! We could do serious damage by going in there, to her and ourselves! It takes powerful magic and a shit-load of control!"

I calmed instantly, my mini-rant out of the way. Completely ignoring the others now, I turned to Maya. "You go in, I'll anchor you. If it gets bad, I can pull you out of there. That ok for you?"

[Cervil]

"That's not alright with me!" I quickly stepped in.

"What?" asked Del.

"Is there any way you can get me in there?" I asked Mai and Del.

"You are NOT going in there!" They replied in unision.

"Yes I am!!" I insisted, "I got her in this mess by provoking the sligs, so I'll get her out! Besides, I think I know what I can do..."

"and that is?" Mai asked, not exactly 100% sure I was capable of doing anything in there.

"I'm not quite sure at this exact point in time!" I said uncertenly, "but just send me in, I'm used to getting my ass kicked, besides, I've done this sort of thing before, and if it doesn't work... I'll give ya's all an overview of what's going on in there. ok?"

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Go," I said. Everyone looked at me like I was mental. "The more time we spend arguing, the more we chance loosing Jessy. That is not an option."

"Doc.." Maya began.

"Besides," I said, touching my Sabre to Jessy's head gently. "The other me isn't getting left out of this either, and since he isn't tied to a body, and the Sabre's pretty much a focus for Souls anyway..." I let it hang. Jessy would not be in there alone.

[Jessy Jackson]

I closed my eyes, not wanting to see him anymore. For a while there was silence. Then a voice echoed through the darkness.

"Jess?" I opened my eyes.

"James?" My ex-boyfriend was standing over me. he held out a hand and helped me up. I dusted myself down and turned to him. I suddenly realised my clothes had changed. And I was shorter. I was fifteen and was wearing the same dress I had at my spring dance. James was in the same tuxedo.

"You look great," James said, smiling. I realised what was about to happen. And I couldn't stop it.

[rory]

I walked (for once) to the Spot. I was turning the corner when I saw her on the ground. I rushed over a knelt down. "What's happened? Is Jessy ok? Can I do anything? Will she survive? Tell me!!"

[Aredhel]

It took an awful lot of self control to stop from pulling Rory away by the scruff of his neck. But I managed, and instead I just pulled him away by means of a hand on his shoulder. Oh yea, I was a model of patience right now - please note the sarcasm.

"We can't tell you if you keep asking more questions!" I snapped irritably. "But I think the fact that she's not ok is rather obvious. Now, if you'll stand back, Cervil here has offered to go in for us."

I stopped, turning my attention to the group at large. "Cervil! Front and centre! Now, Maya and I are going to be monitoring this little trip very closely. The slightest thing starts to go wrong, and you're out of there. Got it?"

[Jessy Jackson]

It was if we had gone into fast forward. My memory kinda skipped the dance and now the same thing was happening. We slowed down as James began to walk me home. This was the moment I had been dreading. Just as I knew they would, three thugs sprang out at us. and just as I had done a year ago, I transformed. I couldn't help it. But then...

The memory died and I was left on a floor of nothing.

[glow=red,2,300]"You see?"[/glow] Tyriel's voice rang around the nothing. [glow=red,2,300]"You see that you cannot defeat me? Accept me as your master!"[/glow]

"No fucking way."

[Nicola Next]

((Crap I forgot I was supposed to be in this thread... Uh not sure what to do. Time for a pointless post))

I stood to the side and was ready as backup in case anything went wrong but I wasn't sure what I could do as Jessy was still, her eyes moving rapidly under her eyelids.
