Jake woke up from a sound sleep. Luckily he hadn't had any visits from the demon that night. He smiled as he remembered the events from the day before.

First, he had a great present from Aurora, and then he felt like he and Emily had finally hooked up. He smiled even bigger as he remembered their incredible kiss.

And then he found another clue as to who he was. He found that he had a biological sister. He loved his adopted sister just as much as if she was biological, but Raven, or Katherine, was a link to where he came from and what he is.

He reached over to his nightstand drawer. He took out the picture of Aurora. And how are you connected to us? He wondered. Does the demon come after you because of me? Jake silently asked her.

He heard footsteps in the hallway, and he quickly put the picture back in his drawer.

"Morning, Happy Birthday," Emily said, smiling from the doorway.

"Morning, thanks," he answered, pulling his blanket further up over his bare chest.

"Doing okay?"

"Great," he replied with a smile.

"Everyone else is still sleeping," she said to him.

"So, we're alone?" Jake asked, smiling again slowly.

Emily laughed. "I thought it'd be nice to go for a walk. It's a beautiful day."

"Is that a hint?" Jake asked, smiling so his dimples showed.

Emily laughed "Your dimples are cute."

"Ugh," he said covering his face with his hands. "What is it with you girls and dimples?" he asked, embarrassed.

Emily shrugged. "They're cute," she answered simply.

He rubbed his hand through his hair. "Let me shower. I'll be down in ten."

"Okay," she said, walking away.

******************************

They walked down to the beach. It was a breezy day. They sat down on the rocks and watched the waves crashing against the rocks further out.

Emily sat with her back against Jake's chest. He wrapped his arms around her.

"This is nice," he murmured in her ear.

"Yes, it is," she said, putting her head against his shoulder.

"I've been waiting a long time for this," he told her softly.

"Me too," she told him just as softly.

He kissed her cheek. She frowned. "Sorry," he said, thinking she didn't want him to.

"No, it's not that," she assured him.

"What's the matter?" Jake asked, feeling her body stiffen.

"Something's going to happen." Emily told him.

Jake straightened."What's the matter, the demon?"

"I think so," she said, rubbing her arms as a cold chill came across her.

"It'll be okay," he told her, kissing her cheek again.

"No. Jake, I mean, he's here," she said with fear in her voice. She stood up quickly and pulled on his arms.

"What?" Jake asked as the wind suddenly picked up.

She pulled him up. A wave crashed up onto the rock. "He's here! Get back to the house!" she yelled to him over the noise of the now howling wind and the crashing waves.

He slung an arm around her shoulders and held her close as they fought through the wind and the water striking them.

Jake heard deep evil laughter in the wind. Jake pulled Emily onto the beach.

"He's just trying to scare us." Emily yelled to Jake.

Thunder boomed and made Emily jump. She turned around and starting yelling in some language Jake couldn't make out. Jake heard the laughter again.

Jake saw figures running down the path, and he could make out that it was the rest of his friends: George, Raven, Ray and Tony.

George and Raven held their arms up in the air and looked like they were yelling as well.

He believed that it was Ray, tossing tree branches, that had fallen and blocked their path, into the air and away from them.

Jake was amazed to see Tony was physically moving the huge tree trunks as if they were only sticks.

The group met up at the edge of the beach. "Give me your hand, take Raven's," Emily yelled to Jake.

"Everyone, join hands," she yelled to the rest of the group. "Jake, you have to help me," she told him.

"How?" he asked.

"Take him in your mind," she told him in his head.

"What?!" he asked, surprised.

"It's the only way. We can't fight him here. You can do it. We'll be here to help you, but you got to get him out of this world,"she told him.

"You take him into your mind, I'll take everyone else into mine, and then bring everyone into you," she explained.

He looked at her, unsure.

"Do you trust me?" she asked him.

"I trust you, Aurora," he yelled to her.

She smiled. "It's time," she said with a nod.

Jake closed his eyes.

The demon burned at his legs. He felt fire around him. He envisioned the smoke surrounding him, taunting him, laughing at him.

He pictured the room he was in at Emily's parent's house the night of the fire. The first place he was confronted by the demon.

He opened his eyes. It stood in front of him, floating in mid air, its red eyes glowing at him in anger. He heard it hiss "die".

Jake continued to stare it down. "If anyone's going to die, it's going to be you," he told it angrily. It laughed at him. It slithered towards him. The vision went dark.

Sunlight appeared. He looked around quickly and saw he was on his farm in Iowa. He stood behind the swing where Aurora sat on the swing.

"Are you going to push me or what?" she demanded.

"Yeah. Yeah," he told her.

Now, what was he doing? He pushed her higher and higher. He admired the way her blonde braids flew back as her small legs went up.

She turned and smiled at him, and he smiled back. "You like me, huh, Jake?"

"Of course, Aurora, you're my best friend," Jake told her.

"That's good, Jake. I like you to. And if you like me, you'll do what I want right?" she asked, jumping off the swing.

"Well, I guess, Aurora. What do you want?"

"Come with me, Jake. Come with me over there," she said, pointing out to the corn field. No sunlight was hitting over there. It was a dark as night.

"It's kind of dark over there, Aurora. I like it here," Jake told her.

"But it's so much nicer over there, Jake. You can do whatever you want over there. You can use your powers there, Jake. They are much more powerful, even more so than over here. Over there, with me, you can get your heart's desire. No one is going to tell you what to do or call you a freak because you have great powers. You will be in control of your greatness over there. No one will dare call you names over there," she said convincingly to him.

"Over here, people call you names, don't they, Jake?" she asked him.

"Yeah. Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I say you're real. And when I tell them not to do something because I saw it in a dream and they got hurt. They think I'm even weirder," he said, feeling horrible.

"Not over there, Jake. No one will do that there. And I can show you how to use your powers. You will be able to control them and use them to your advantage," she said, taking his hand.

"You can show me how to use my powers?" Jake asked her.

She smiled. "Sure. It's real easy. But, I can only show you over there. Not here. Your powers are so much stronger over there, Jake." She told him.

She was pulling him closer to the dark corn field. Jake looked over to the dark corn field and then to the side with sunlight. He saw his friends over on the sunlit side.

"I don't think so, Aurora. I think I should stay here. Besides, my friends are showing me how to use my powers," he told her, stopping.

Aurora pushed him away. Her face turned into a snarl, she then disappeared and turned into black smoke. The black smoke came towards him.

"You have no power here, demon," he told it. "You get over to the dark side and stay there," he ordered it as Aurora had done similarly in his dreams. It laughed at him.

"Unfortunately, it's not that simple." Emily told him, grabbing his arm.

"Well, what do I do?" Jake asked her.

Emily shook her head. "It's up to you," she said, holding her head.

Jake sighed; he looked around for something to come to him, how they could destroy this thing. What could he do that Emily couldn't?

He had dreams that told him what was going to happen in the future. That was one. What else? What was related to that?

The only thing he could think of was that he could draw. He would draw his dreams to get them out of his system.

Jake then thought about the sketchbook and pencils that Aurora had sent him for his birthday. Maybe he could draw the demon and something would happen. But what? It was worth a shot...

He closed his eyes and imagined the book and pencils in his hand. Jake felt the weight of them in his hands.

He opened his eyes. They were actually there. He started drawing. "You're an ugly thing," Jake told it as he drew. Its red eyes glowed, and it came closer to him.

Emily and George stood in front of it and chanted in the funny language again. It backed away.

Jake showed Emily the picture.

Emily nodded. "You know what to do."

He looked at her. He looked over at his friends. Jake had an idea.

"Hey, sis," Jake called to Raven. "Come here," he gestured her over.

She came. "Yeah? What do you want me to do?"

Jake patted his front and backs of his jeans. "I don't have any matches on me," he said.

He heard the demon squawk.

"Gladly," she said with an understanding smile.

Jake put the drawing on the ground. Raven lit it up, bursting it into flames.

The demon yelped in pain. As the paper disappeared, so did the demon.

*****************************

"Do you guys mind getting out of my head? You're giving me a headache," he said to them.

They laughed. Everything went dark. Jake opened his eyes. He groaned, his head really did hurt.

He heard the others doing the same. Jake sat up. He was lying on the beach. His clothes were soaking wet.

"Ray, did you pick up aspirin at the store?" He heard George ask.

"Was it on the list?" Ray replied with a groan.

They laughed. Jake stopped laughing when he saw Emily lying on the beach a few feet away from him and not moving. He stumbled over to her.

"Emily." He said, shaking her.

"She's not moving!" Jake called to the others.

"Emily!" He said louder to her. He saw she was breathing, but she wasn't waking up.

Tony ran over to them. "Emily," he said, touching her head. He looked up to the sky and around the beach. "Where are you, Emily?"

"What's going on? What the hell's wrong with her?!" Jake demanded.

"She'll be okay," Tony said, reassuringly, "I think she's just having a problem getting back in."

"What do you mean getting back in?" Jake's eyes narrowed.

"Well, she left her body. We all did. She took us all out and stuck us in your head," Tony explained to him, tapping him on the forehead.

"So why are we back and she's not?"

"I don't know, ask Emily," Tony answered, annoyed, and sat down next to her.

Jake sat down too. He closed his eyes. "Emily, don't you leave me. You come back to me, you hear. I need you. You know that. You're my Aurora," he said in his mind.

He felt someone touch his hand. He opened his eyes. Emily's hand was stretched out to his. "I'm okay," she murmured to him, not opening her eyes. Her hand dropped back down to her side. Jake sighed in relief.

"It took too much out of her," Raven said, sitting down next to her.

"Will she be okay?" Jake asked worried.

"I hope so. I know she does it a lot. She told us about Aurora, Jake. And that she often visited you in your dreams at night. But this, she had to take all of us in. Not just her. Plus, hold off the demon," she explained, touching the top of Emily's head lightly.

"She shouldn't have taken me, or Ray, we weren't needed," Tony growled.

"No, you were. Moral support," Jake answered him. "I wouldn't have been able to have done it without all of you."

"We're there for you, babe," George said.

Tony picked up Emily, he adjusted her in his arms, and they all went back home.
