the men from behind while hearing them gasp of shock. He continued to attack them till both men were lying on the floor one unconscious. The other still awake which he threw his foot into the male’s face knocking him out.

  He ghost walked back into his body to pick up the contents on the table putting them back into Tara’s purse. He pocketed the diamond ring then he walked out of the apartment behind him. He speed walked out of the hallway into the garden. He again used his sleeping powers onto the security guard and slowed his pace walking towards his home going inside to his apartment.

  He placed Tara’s purse on the dining table along with his key and placed the ring on the altar. He went into the bathroom to change his clothes to sweatpants leaving his upper body bare. He carried his janitor uniform to the laundry machine dumping it inside. He grimacing seeing a dark red splotch dot on the back of the shirt.

  He went to his altar to mediate and heard his apartment door opening behind him. He abruptly got up to face a male who he saw was one of the attackers holding a hand gun in his hand aimed at him.

  Jinx spoke figuring that the male must have faked being unconscious and followed him to his apartment “What do you want?”

  He saw hesitance on the male’s face as he turned his form sideways having his right side facing the male to protect his heart organ. He watched as determination formed on the male’s face and stiffened as the gun went off.

  He grimacing as pain hit him in the bicep followed by hearing the sound of the gun jamming. He felt dizziness arrived making his eyes sight blurry while seeing the male charge at him gun waving.

  He shook his head closing his eyes to kneel and felt himself going unconscious. He surrendered to float above his body to see the male reach him to throw the gun into his face as if whacking it. He stiffened as himself woke up with a sinister sneering look on his face with all black eyes.

  He saw himself knocked aside the gun and flatten the male onto his back before getting up with a swing up acrobatic move of karate. He watched himself began kicking the male on the side repeatedly over and over who struggled to get up along with kicked to remain lying down.

  Jinx continued to watch as two men wearing uniforms of cops arrived and restrained him putting a gun into his neck giving off charges of electricity. He saw himself slump over as if asleep followed by put on the bed. He saw his arm operated on by a paramedic who took out a bullet then spraying it with some sprayer he recognized as a healer that was to help injuries heal fast. He also saw them put some clear gooey stuff on the area that appeared to have dried on his skin.

  Jinx saw the scene went black followed by dreaming of a black haired woman wearing a purple dress looking old by her hair having streaks of grey. She was running in a field among men fighting each other with swords ignoring her. She having a look of concern on her face.

  He continued to watch her as she ran in the field with a hand up waving it. It appeared to him she was using some mental power to guide her to something. He watched as her hand pointed down followed by her kneeling to pull a male figure from lying on his stomach onto his back. He saw the back area had a bloody spot over the heart organ he stiffened seeing it was himself.

  He continued to stiffen as the woman stroked his face along with appearing to weep tears while gently rocking both her form and himself's. He frowned as she stopped the rocking to get up and with such force started dragging him unmoving through the field. Still ignored among men fighting each other and continued with the dragging till three women looking alike from his dream appeared standing blocking the woman’s way.

  He continued to watch as the woman dropped him and spoke in a tearful voice “Erra, Terra, and Merra do something about my son! He is dead in my arms! I never had a chance of him acknowledging me as his Mother and want that to happen!”

  He eyed the three women who spoke in unison “That’ll be done as you wish, Morganna but it won’t be in your time. You must be patient for this will happen once nature has taken its course.”

  He frowned hearing the name of Morganna figured it belonged to the woman who burst into tears and then the darkness arrived.

  He came to opening his eyes open to discover himself lying sideways in bed on his left side. He figured that he was put there after falling asleep in the wingback chair again. He sat up leaning against the headboard rubbing his right bicep with his left hand. It was due to recalling of waking up with a stinging pain in the area with the blankets on top of him up to his chest.

  Tara detected in bed with him she back from the hospital. His right hand he felt from memory was gripping her hand that felt feminine like along with his forehead touching her head. His nose smelled her scented perfumed hair. He had raised his head feeling tiredness running through him to see the female was Tara lying asleep lying on her back. She wearing a hospital gown with the blankets up to her chest. He leaned over and gently kissed her on the lips she not stirring from it. He feeling inclined to kiss her on the lips.

  He then laid his form back down to again touch her haired head with his forehead shutting his eyes falling asleep passing out unconscious.

  He felt sleepiness again shut his eyes to dream of the familiar woman Morganna again looking very old with her hair completely white. He eyed her as she stood in a field holding a fire torch and looking sad with sunlight shining dimly. He continued to watch as he saw her bring the fire torch to a pile of sticks his mind told him was wood. He watched the fire spread showing a figure lying on top he recognized with effort as the blonde woman who raised him looking asleep and very old by the looks of her.

  He frowned as the fire consumed the pile of sticks and the woman who remained still.

  Jinx continued to dream eyeing Morganna who spoke “Never again you’ll have my son in your clutches Arianne. I will have what I want, Lance acknowledging me as his Mother. I’ll do what it takes to have that happen. I don’t care if there’s a price of my death for my son to acknowledge me. I will see that this happens.”

  Jinx again woke up feeling himself better and felt himself much better rested after passing out unconscious again.

  He rubbed his bicep to recall waking up with the stinging pain was gone from the area which he got up from the bed. He frowned recalling the name of Lance with confusion running through him to realize that it was the name of Morganna’s son. He rubbed a hand on his forehead and went towards the middle of the room to mediate and then did his limber exercises before swinging himself up to do his karate doing it slowly. It was just for him to avoid accidentally kicking at the furniture despite there room for it.

  He recalled during his karate of doing it in front of Tara who woke up he saw out of his eyes sight. He faced the bed during his karate she sitting up in bed her eyes staring at him watching him. He continued to do his martial arts and ended with a bow towards the wall.

  He recalled Tara seeing her staring at him with a frown look in her face. He stood staring at the wingback chair forcing himself to stand still.

  He recalled staring towards Tara as she got up from the bed walking towards him. He didn’t react as she reaching him touched his muscular front with her hands running over the area. He felt currents of pleasure from the touch of her hands rubbing him. He felt soothed by her touch as he brought his hands to her back while feeling her lean against him her cheek touching his both similar in height. He broke off the cheek to gently kiss her on the forehead.

  He finding his efforts to get a lip lock kiss blocked by Tara putting a hand on his mouth in response.

  He stared at Tara who spoke “Will you teach me some of your movements you were doing?”

  He spoke “I will.”

  He let go of Tara as she let go of him then stepped back at him eyes looking at him with hope in them. He proceeded to teach Tara some self defense moves when attacked by the front, the sides and grabbed from behind.

  He sensed during the practice of his teaching Tara becoming weary but not willing to admit that she needed to sleep.


  He exhaled a breath and inhaled to speak “I need to sleep so the lesson ends ok?”

  He saw Tara nod her head and he followed her to the bed both getting into it. He spoon fashioned her arms around her while feeling her happy from his grip around her.

  Jinx felt himself weary from the karate went back to the bed and laid down shutting his eyes falling asleep to again dream of Morganna he assumed was her.

  She looking young but around his Human age speaking “You will acknowledge me.”

  Jinx dreaming didn’t respond as darkness arrive putting him out unconscious.

  Jinx blinked his eyes open hearing the alarm going off again indicating it was morning. He got up and went into the hygiene room to give himself hygienic rituals. He wound up exchanging his clothes to fresh ones on the sink counter but found the shoes remained the same which he didn't complain of that. He left the bathroom going out of the bedroom feeling himself hungry.

  He saw the butler there in the hallway that led the way to the dining room without a comment. He went to the dining table to sit at the head waiting patiently for his nourishment as the butler went into the kitchen swinging door banging.

  He sat recalling himself waked by the alarm clock while on the space station and hearing Tara groan loudly in a pained tone. He reached over her and
