(Jeff's POV)

I stood at the door, my mouth agape in both shock and a bit of amusement. averie walked out there, looking like she hadn't just got out of a coma, and slapped Riley across the face. They started shouting at each other, stuff I couldn't hear. I started to inch my way towards them, cautiously.

"Then fight me now, wench!" Riley growled angrily, still cradling her reddening cheek.

"Gladly," averie hissed.

At this, averie swung at Riley. Her fist connected with Riley's throat, causing her to gasp and choke out some blood. But averie didn't stop. She swung once more, her fist landing a blow onto Riley's left eye. averie swung mercilessly, obviously unaware of the fact that she was actually hurting Riley. Riley went into a coughing fit, coughing up blood. Her left eye was already turning purple as she lay on the ground, cradling her injured stomach.

"Deja vu," averie whispered hotly, "just like my dream. Only this time, who's the one on the ground? How pathetic." She spat at Riley.

averie turned to walk away when Riley stood up and made a mad dash for her.

"averie, look out behind you!" I screamed, but I was too late.

Riley managed to grab averie by her long blonde hair and drag her back down to the ground. When she did so, she began to pound on her face. I could hear averie screaming out in pain, so I went over to them and forced Riley off of her. I looked at Riley angrily then back down at averie, who had her face cupped in her hands, her nose dripping fresh droplets of blood. I was frightened, averie wasn't moving. Behind me, I heard Riley chuckle. I turned to face her. She shrugged at me and laughed some more.

"Oh ho ho! Who's pathetic now?" She asked, her face and throat still purple from where averie had punched her, "I guess it was me who won the fight." Riley said looking at averie and moving forward to grab my hand.

"You will not be the one to win this fight," averie finally spoke.

Her voice sounded like it had more voices in it. As she stood, her eyes turned full-black. A fury of rocks, wind and fire wirled around her like a tornado. I gasped as she began to lift off of the ground commanding all of nature's forces toward her. But I knew that this isn't my averie, something has a hold of her. Next to me, Riley was hyperventalating. As averie's hair whirled around her, that's when I realized something I hadn't noticed before. The small birthmark in the groove of her neck was a small, crescent moon. Before I knew it, Riley was being dragged away from me and towards averie. Riley screeched as some of the fire swirling around averie stinged her ivory white skin and her blood-red hair.

"I am not going to give this warning twice," averie cautioned, her voice drowned out by about ten other voices, "do not dare show your face around these parts again. If you do so, you will suffer a fate worse than death."

averie grabbed Riley by the neck and threw her into the woods. Despite how much I hate her now, I feared Riley would hit the trees. But when a black portal opened and sent her back to her world, I almost sighed with relief. I looked back at averie, who's eyes were turning back to their beautiful original color of blue. She sank back down onto the ground as I ran to go catch her. When I caught her, her big blue eyes fluttered open and met mine.

"That. Was. Horrible." She said through gasps, a sob caught in her throat.

averie's face was full of bruises and her right eye was swollen shut. I smiled sadly at her.

"Let's go inside, Slendy might know something about you're new powers." I said helping her up.

As I did so, I felt a searing pain on my left side. averie looked up at me, her left eye went wide. I looked down at me side. There was a piece of rock dug into it. I groaned as I gently laid my hand on it, counting down from three.

Okay, breathe. Three.

"Jeff?"

Two.

"I don't think you should do this."

One!

I screamed in agony as the rock slid out of my side. I was surprised to find out how long it was, only just now feeling all five inches that was dug into my stomach.

"Well, that was something else." I said with a small, pained chuckle.

averie sighed with relief. We both limped back into the house. As we did, I never took my eyes off of her birth mark, which was somehow so visible now.

~Thirty minutes later~

Jane held the wet cloth over my bare stomach. I felt a small twinge of pain as a droplet of the pure alcohol dripped into the wound.

"Okay, ready?" Jane asked cautiously, "It'll hurt, you want something to bite?" She asked looking around for something.

I shook my head, squeezing my eyes shut and clenching my jaw shut tight. In about three seconds, I felt the worst pain imaginable. I bit the inside of my cheek, drawing blood in order to keep from screaming. What actually came out was actually something more like a strangled scream. I felt a small, soft hand in mine and squeezed it. Jane put her hand on my cheek and hushed me.

"It's over, you're okay." She said.

I nodded, forcing myself to open my eyes. Next to me, was Jane, and next to her was averie. she had to get stitches on a really bad gash on the side of her forehead. I forced a smile onto my face. Slender Man walked into the room.

"I've, um, found why you have powers." He said, he sounded nervous, surprised more likely.

"Well? You must tell me." averie said bravely. I forced myself to sit up, putting my shirt back on after Jane had covered the wound.

"As it turns out, you're entirely family descended from a greek god or goddess. You are the combination of two somehow." Slender said slowly.

"Which two?" averie asked, her voice becoming shaky with fear. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, letting her know that I was here for her. She smiled up at me gratefully before turning back to face Slender.

"Gaea, goddess of Earth and it's elements." He paused before he continued, he was toying with his tie and he sounded nervous. "And Hades, god of the Underworld."
