Dark Hearts (Golden Heart AU)

Chapter Forty-one

Last time on DarkHearts: "I am powerful!" Jazzy screeched. She sat up gasping, her hair fading to its natural brown and her eyes glowing light blue, "Both sides of me are." She said in a calm leveled voice. Her body no longer shaking or withering, her cheek was bleeding from her nails but otherwise she looked perfectly fine there was no indication of pain.

~~~now~~~

Carlos placed his arm around her back, "Jazz." Her head snapped towards him and away from Audrey. "How are you so calm? Ryder had said he was in excruciating pain and Aaron wouldn't stop shaking and screaming."

A small grunt escaped her but otherwise nothing, "He" her right eyes twitched, and she winced a bit, "he's not as strong. I'm not one of the boys, they're weaker than me and Ella. they're younger and Aaron rarely used his magic, so he didn't practice much, Ryder was young, and the Mangle was taking its time one him," she twitched a bit. "But I don't have to hurry, it's taking a lot of magic to keep her at bay. I'm not Ella."

"Are you not in pain or something?" Audrey asked, confused.

"Oh no I am in excruciating pain." she nodded, "But that's not important. I can see through Her eyes, And I've learned to keep my thoughts and hers separate. I've noticed things." She looks off into space for a moment before coming back, "When we were in the museum, she didn't see it, but I did. The Golden Scarab that Jafar used to locate the cave of wonders is there. Find it. Don't put it together, find genie. You should be able to find him though Jordan when you find him have him look over the Scarab the magical signature is dimmed. If it's dimmed enough Evie and Gil can bring it into my head and find me."

Carlos stops her, "I thought only your magic worked in your mind."

She nodded grunting a bit, Carlos gave her his hand and she gripped it tight. She let out a small scream and let herself fall into Carlos' chest heaving deeply.

Gil and Jane, who had taken a day to themselves. walk through the door to the palace hoping that Carlos had gotten through to Jazzy. As he walks to his room, they hear a scream and Gil being Gil runs towards it. Jane looks conflicted but hearing that it was one of pain and not a screaming match between Carlos and Jazzy she ran towards it as well. She sees Gil standing outside the studio hiding behind the wall. "Gil?",

He doesn't answer so she tiptoes and looks over his shoulder. Her whole world crashes down in a moment. Carlos kneeling on the floor with Jazzy's face cuddled into his neck. He held her protectively and his eyes never left her. Audrey looked uncomfortable in her current situation like she shouldn't be there. Gil left Immediately after not saying a word to Jane as he left and slammed his door behind him.

No one in the studio heard as both were tentatively listening to Jazzy as she was losing her grip. "Magic objects that come from my background will, your magic is foreign and won't work. The magic of the Scarab is from my background."

"Your background, that means-"

She nods, "Jay, my magic comes from a genie Jafar was a Genie. Listen." She screams louder and in more pain this time. Carlos unconsciously pulled her closer; he spent so many years under her influence that was not so easily forgotten. "Not all is as it seems, something else has to be going on, there's no way fairy godmother in all her goodie goodie glory." she spat the last part of that sentence. "Took down Jafar and an all-powerful genie. She was going against the fairy council, and I'm worried she had hurt some dark Fairies. That needs to be found out and do it before Ella does. She already suspects the fairy god mother and if she finds out she'll drag her back though the veil and rip out her eyes herself."

"I have one more Question Jazz." she looks up at Carlos who's basically cradling her, "What do you mean why does everyone keep saying they're not Ella what did she do? We need to know before we get to her."
