Act23:Dreams come true. You Just need help from friends.

The joker card I use to act like is gone now. This... I don't know what to call her anymore, Has taken nearly taken everything from me except for my family of misfits and what I have left behind myself. Without her I might have lived a nice life just surviving to the age of thirty or so but now, NOW She is forcing me to take action. Wiping sweat,ash and tears off my face I finally leave the rubble of the destroyed town. I look over my left shoulder to see the girls and my right to see the guys. Michaela walked up to me and gently elbowed my arm, and wiped down her elbow so frantically I couldn't tell whether it was a joke or not. "So yeah I saw you had a hard time walking away from that place. So Pat what are you going to do about it? Go on another rampage?" That's when the scar burned again. My vision got the red tint again and my breathing got heavier again. Once again I felt enraged and I spin around nearly knocking Michaela to the ground. "DONT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU LITTLE" I felt someone pinch my neck and then saw Gabi. The tint went away and rage rushed out of me, bringing me to my knees. "Pat the language can wait. that venom needs to come out its changing you." Then she kneels in front of me. "This is going to burn a bit." She cast some spell on me and my neck felt like it was lit on fire. I let out a scream of pain and Gabi looks astonished. "I-Its not coming out. This is bad, very bad" I put a hand up trying to catch my breath after the pain knocked the wind out of me. "It may not come out but maybe I can control it...I seem to fight better with it well...active" I decided it was based off emotion and physical condition. If i'm in pain it seems to kick in and when im mad that too triggers the venom. When adrenalin is released it must get the venom going. If I relax that may do the trick. I stand and look to see everyone look at me like I need a mental hospital. "Does anyone else see the pretty blond with blue eyes" Nick says pointing at Gabi. She had torn, dark blue jeans, leather jacket and sneakers. Her hair was long and curly as for her eyes...Blue like the sky. She looked at her hands and started freaking out. "IM HUMAN! WHAT?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" She was on her back with her hands on her face. I walk over and kneel next to her. "I think it's the same with the grass. Anything in contact with me seems to earn a boost of life so...when you pinched my neck that must have been enough." She looked up at me with tears. "Thank you SOOOO MUCH!" She says sitting up and throwing her arms and her body weight into a hug. "So those tears are of joy?" I ask knowing the answer. She was crying so much she couldn't speak but I heard her choke out a "Yes!" She gave me one more hug before standing up. "So what now?" she said putting an arm around me and the other on her hip. I look up at her and say "So wheres this temple?"
