Chapter 54 Remembrance

Jake, Gen and Tommy drove from the hospital with Jake leaning back the whole time. Jake could only shake his head he hadn’t felt this bad in a long time. Hell he thought it felt almost like most of his life was being sucked from his body.

Gen watched Jake the whole time that they were driving. It was true she was feeling slightly better but she knew that it wouldn’t last. If she and Master Jake couldn’t break the bubble that was around the Jinn dimension all the Jinns were doomed. She’d been trying to contact anyone from the Jinn dimension to no avail.

Jake was seeing flashes of memory, the hard part was that he only had clear memories up to a few days after he met Gen. No matter how hard he tried nothing seemed to break through to him at all. Then there were the shooting pain he’d had when he was in the hospital. There was no damn way he was going back in that place!

At Jake’s urging Tommy raced as fast as he dared to get to his house. Screeching to a stop in front Jake thanked Tommy as the three of them got out heading in. “Look Jake I know you don’t have much memory. You sure you don’t want me to tell your boss? I mean the both of you seemed to be good--” Tommy snapped his mouth shut as Jake had started to rub the side of his head. Then he started on his forehead, crap I hope I didn’t bring the pain back Tommy thought.

After a few moments Jake took a deep breath looking at Tommy. “No please don’t tell anyone. I am so unsure of a great many things. I’ll let you know but for right now I think I need rest.”

“Sure thing pal, the place is yours. I got to go back to work can’t pay bills sitting on my ass.” Tommy laughed

“I know I am so sorry that you’ve had to put up with a cripple. I will make it up to you as soon as I can, believe me.” Jake replied.

“It’s ok Jake, I owe you a lot, you’re about the only decent one there. You remember all the assholes we worked with.” Tommy said hoping it didn’t trigger another pain episode.

Tommy let out the breath he’d been holding when Jake smiled and nodded. “Yeah I do Tom, it will get better as I am sure I will also.”

Jake and Gen watched as Tommy left both going in a moment later. “I am sorry Master Jake that I cannot heal your mind pain.”

“I was going to ask you though I am somewhat afraid. Do you know what happened to me?” Jake asked then his eyes got wide as Gen nodded but didn’t speak a word. “Can you enlighten me?”

Gen got a fearful look on her face. She’d just found her master she didn’t want to cause him pain or have him disappear again. “Master Jake I am afraid. Afraid that if I start to tell you, you will be in more pain than I think I can see you go through.”

“I’ll tell you what, you start from the point of my last memory. I was in your dimension, I had broken out of the sealed council chamber trying to find you. I found you with your mother, it had taken a lot out of me. I seem to remember the council saying I had to be tested then nothing after that.”

Gen’s eyes got wide, he didn’t remember anything after that?! Her lips quivering she asked, “Master Jake I do not want to hurt you, cause you pain. Please I don’t think I could stand it.”

“Gen you are obviously the key to my memory. If you can’t help me recover it I don’t think anyone can.” Jake told her with all honesty.

Sighing Gen nodded her head as she slowly very slowly started Jake through all that had happened to him. “After you had freed the council you slept for two days. I was just so glad that you were safe and alive.” Jake nodded as the new memories slowly inundated the hole that was in his memories.

Stopping gen a moment Jake’s eyes got wide. “My god, no wonder I feel so weak! Gen where is Rosalinda?”

A smile slowly crept on Gen’s face. “She is trapped in the Jinn dimension. Many Jinn used their power to send me here. The council said, since I was your first Jinn therefore, you had more and deeper memories of me. They were hoping I could help you remember.”

“Trapped? Damn it! I wish she was here! Then we’d have more--” Jake got out then there was an ear splitting crack of lighting. Suddenly a light appeared in front of Jake, a light that started to take form. Shielding his eyes Jake saw that the form was that of a female.

There was a gasp then the light went out with Rosalinda looking around in confusion. “What is--?” Stopping suddenly Rosalinda stared at Gen then the older man that was with her. “Gen I thought you were searching-- Master Jake?!” Launching herself at Jake Rosalinda was desperately kissing Jake all over his face moaning when she found his lips. “Oh Master I have missed you so badly!”

Gen started to smile broadly Master Jake was looking a little better but not much. She had to finish if they had any hope. Rosalinda saw that Gen was waiting sitting back she nodded as Gen asked, “Shall I continue Master Jake?”

Jake shook his head as a few memories were tugging at the edge of his mind. It was infuriating that he couldn’t bring them out. “Yes please I can feel the memories I can’t open them.”

Gen took a deep breath as she started with the night of the private party at Mary’s. Stealing looks at Jake she breathed a sigh of relief as he was only slightly rubbing his forehead. Gen had gotten to the end of the night when Jake’s eyes got large. “I remember her, as I recall you called her a very sexual creature!”

Gen nodded with a giggle then continued. She told of the next day that in fact that the council had helped him. Then there was Rosalinda’s transformation. Nodding the whole time Gen was glad that he wasn’t hurting. She hoped it would stay that way. Then she started on about the attack after the party, looking she saw that Jake was taking the memories far better than she thought he would.

“Yes, I remember that was when my truck was destroyed.” Jake said remembering.

Gen nodded, then she slowed as she started with the discovery of Rashala, then Jake taking her as a Jinn. Going on she continued with the vanquishing of a Jinn called Sheeka. Again Jake’s eyes went wide as the memories flooded his mind unmercifully. Grabbing his head Jake looked up at Gen as tears started to flow. “She really does care for me to risk her life. I wish they were both here with me not trapped!”

Again there was an ear splitting crack then several more as one, then another light appeared in front of Jake. This time the light was truly blinding as Jake, Gen and Rosalinda had to cover their eyes. It was only a few minutes when the three heard a gasp then another.

“We have been waiting for word then we appeared her.” They all heard Rashala say. Uncovering their eyes Jake saw that Rashala was staring at him though Sheeka had a huge smile on her face. “Mas-- Master Jake?” Rashala whispered then launched herself at Jake as did Sheeka, both fighting to kiss as much of his face as they could.
