Chapter 28: Deception

Sheeka’s face held astonishment Master Jake had said that she was his ... Jin? Then that meant ... but ... how ... when? The six faces that were staring at her were all nodding yes then she saw Jake reach into his shirt and rub an amulet shaped like a bottle. With a huge boom (there always was one, but ‘til now they had managed to ignore it) the council appeared.

“I have finally come to a decision,” Jake told the council. “Though you have given her to me temporarily, I wish to also take Sheeka on as my fourth Jinn.

The entire council began to smile finally! The beginning of the most powerful part of the legend was starting to take shape. Each looked over at Trully who only nodded yes as all of their eyes grew wider at this news. The leader stepped forward looking Jake up and down with a sour look on his face. “Fellow council members,” here he turned away from Jake and his Jinns, suddenly smiling at each member. “Are we really to believe that a mere human can command four Jinns? We should kill a mere human for suggesting such a thing!”

Each council member had a sour and dour look on their faces. Behind the leader there were several gasps then the entire council felt not just one but five layers of protection snap up around Jake. Gen stood in front of the others her eyes flashing with the power that was growing in her. “I speak for all of us we will die before we allow you to harm our master!”

Turning the leader had a look of disbelief on his face, Gen’s power had skyrocketed! Looking at the rest he could feel all of theirs increasing with each passing second. Then he felt an even stronger power emanating from Sheeka by the great Jinn it was true!

“Relax little ones,” the leader of the council told all of Jake’s Jinns. “As I said we can’t believe that a mere human could do this, but Master Jake is no mere human. He is as we have all discovered the Ever Last Master.”

Gen, Rosalinda, Rashala, and Sheeka were staring at the leader with their mouths hanging open. Akeesha was the only one who was still in a defensive position her power still at full. Growling she had no trust of the council, they had failed her greatly before she wasn’t about to let it happen again not with her sister involved.

Jake looked over at Akeesha he could almost feel an intense heat of hatred and mistrust. Damn! Obviously they had really pissed the woman off in the past, sighing there was nothing he could do. Akeesha wasn’t his Jinn so she was free to do as she wished, thinking a moment Jake remembered something she’d said. Shrugging his shoulders he guessed he could try.

Leaning close to Akeesha Jake whispered to her, “I know that they have wronged you and your sister. I also know that I am not your master, but if you try to destroy them then they will have to react and punish you. Please, for your sister, don’t.”

Akeesha’s eyes flew open in shock and amazement a man had asked her please? Just the fact that he was a male was shock enough but the fact that he asked for her sister and not himself had her respect for him growing by leaps and bounds. “Yes,” she whispered back, “I will stand down, thank you Master Jake; your wisdom far exceeds your age.”

Jake nodded as Akeesha powered down and stepped back, this brought another round of gasps from the council. Master Jake had befriended the man hater from the past; a feat that no one thought was ever possible. Each council member was still shaking though the amount of power that had been shown in the room that could have effectively destroyed the entire council.

The leader himself had been sweating a bit this wouldn’t have ended well had it gone on much longer. Best not joke again like this; Master Jake’s Jinns were fiercely loyal and were obviously ready to die for him. The leader looked at Jake standing in front of his Jinns between them and the council; it appeared that Master Jake was also ready to die for his Jinns.

The leaders mouth dropped open again as he turned to the rest of the council three more parts of the legend were satisfied, amazing!

After a few moments Jake stepped forward, “You never gave me a decision; may I take her as my fourth Jinn?”

The leader turned back as the rest of the council stood all bowing to Jake at the same time. This drew a gasp from all of Jakes Jinns but the loudest was from Akeesha. The whole council never, EVER all bowed at once, not to a single person and especially not to a human!

“Please forgive us, you are granted permission of course, especially now. You have fulfilled another three parts of the legend.” Here again the entire council bowed as one, again drawing a multitude of gasps from all the female Jinns.

With that they all thanked Jake, and then vanished, leaving Jake standing there with several surprised and startled Jinns.

Turning Jake looked at all of them, then toward a now smirking Trully. “Alright spill, I saw all of them looking at you for confirmation of something. I want to know what!” Jake sighed when he saw Trully draw back from the force of his voice. “I’m sorry Trully I’m not mad at you I just want to know; I feel I am being kept in the dark again.”

Trully smiled a true deep satisfied smile, she just hoped that Jake could take the news that she was about to tell him. “Master Jake they said you fulfilled three more parts of the legend. One was you have befriended the man hater, I am sorry Akeesha, but that is what they have called you for a long time.” Akeesha only nodded she was proud of that name. Though in Master Jake’s case she was ashamed for the first time in her life, then again he wasn’t a normal male either.

“Okay and the second?” Jake asked after a few moments.

“The second was you took a fourth Jinn, a fourth that risked her life and was a slave for a short time; a fourth that you also loved as much as the first three.” Trully watched Jake’s face closely this was the true test Jake was nodding then his eyes flew wide. Holy shit! It was true he did love her just as much as he did Gen, Rosalinda and Rashala!

“Well I’ll be damned!” Jake said as Trully started to smile and took a deep breath. This next part might shock the hell out of Jake but he’d ordered her to tell him. It was also the only way she could keep the raw desire she was feeling to throw Jake down for another intense session of sex!

Sighing Trully had to make sure, “The third part will shock you greatly Master Jake, are sure you wish to hear it? I in no way wish to cause you distress or worry.” Trully advised him hoping he took her meaning.

“I think I can handle it Trully I believe I am accustomed to it now.” Jake finally told Trully after thinking about it for a few moments.
