The Dejinn and The Witch(Closed for Bigdavebeast and I

[Dragonlady]

LIlly Drake had a heck of a month.. Her grandma died and left her with everything in the will.. Somedays it wasn't easy to get out of bed.. To top it off she Now owned her grandma's Fantasy shop... She love that shop it had so much magic...

She could never get enough of the smells that still live in her house.. Today was her day off .. She really needed to clean the Attic , and she really didn't have a choice but do it because she needed the room.. She kept putting off because everything up there reminded her of Granny.


With a cup of coffen in her hand she sat down looking in Granny's old chest.. She pulls out skelton keys to the house and some lavender , and she spotted a book..

Not sure what it was she skimmed it comeing across something .. She smiled and wonder if this was Grannys Spell book as she spoke the words " Yu-kin Lyfigin tor_vjin "

She felt the warm summer breeze blow against her back.. as she drinks her coffee and looks through the book she just read from

 

[Bigdavebeast]

The book had typical spells in it. Really they looked like nothing more than the typical rhymes that made no sense and worked less that Border's or Waldenbooks had. But the true value of the book was the pictures. There was such detail in the brown parchment, particularly one picture of a man with horns, naked and with a grin on his face as he approached a sultan who was ready to set his guards on the man carrying a scimitar.

The book was not in color, so it was impossible to properly guage the colors of the people or their clothing inside, but it had a feeling of a long fought battle. The women in the picture were collared and chained, the chains being held by the sultan and the picture itself had an understated eroticism.

To the side there was a poem.

Touch the picture and you will see,
Wishes and dreams in Destiny.
State the wants that are in your heart,
The genie of souls will grow from the art.

It was a bad poem, but had the feeling of magic to it.

 

[Dragonlady]

She came across a picture as she looked at the book and saw a beautiful poem reading it out loud

" Touch the picture and you will see,
Wishes and dreams in Destiny.
State the wants that are in your heart,
The genie of souls will grow from the art."

As she reading the poem she touches it like it told her too.. she carrasses with her fingures sighing with the feel of the book and pages against her fingures...

A silent tear falls down her cheek as she whispers " I miss you granny" hugging the book to her.

 

[Bigdavebeast]

Jade smoke started coming out of the book and it flowed around her feet as she let loose a tear. There was a vibration of the book and it started getting warm around her hand.

There was a growl filling the air, slowly getting louder until it was a cacaphonous roar and the book flew off the pedastal, landing open on the picture and the man with the scimitar changed into color and leapt out of the book, his body was stretching and rippling. But that wasn't the odd thing about him believe it or not.

The man was turquoise colored with glowing purple eyes and 3 ft jade green horns sticking out in a spiral. He stood a good 6'7" and his mouth dripped with drool. He had gold bracelets and a gold colar around his neck and it sparkled in the light. The scimitar in his hands disapeared leaving his jade green fingernails and he looked at her.

"How long have you kept me trapped in that book woman!"

 

[Dragonlady]

Jumping back as the book took a whole new idea of weird , She watches before her a man appears asking how long has she kept him in the book..

She looked at him " Wh who are you " scootting away from him in fear.. She had to be Imagineing this. Why in the world would her grandma have such a book that has a Jeanie in it..

" Please don't hurt me" as she curled in a ball on the floor at his feet

 

[Bigdavebeast]

"How long you've forgotten. You summoned me 50 years ago, and after you had your wishes, you trapped me in that horrid book." He was talking about her grandma, which she just happened to look like.

"I am the genie Ahm'Rook, surely you must not have forgotten that fact. You wished for a place to live. Enough money to take care of yourself and your loved ones. And then a man to love for the rest of your years. Then you trapped me" He was angry and he kept walking towards her.

When she curled up, he grabbed her by the chin and bent down looking at her. "I don't want to hurt you, I want you to make the three wishes I have to give you now that you've released me, again. So I can finally be free of you."

 

[Dragonlady]

The man was talking about her Granny " I'm sorry My Granny Alice she died a Month ago... " as she stutter it out " I"m lilly her only grandaughter" she shivered in fear...

What did Granny do to this poor man.. It was always a story about Grannys Favorite Jeanie but she never onced believed her .

She remember Granny telling her about him and how she would control him one day and that maybe I would be happy with someone like him .. She laughed at Granny and said What would I do with a Jeanie Granny"

As her Emerald green eyes looked up at him..

 

[Bigdavebeast]

He let go of her chin in surprised shock. He still towered over the frightened woman however. "Dead....she died before releasing me?" That would take some time getting used to. The woman was shivering below him and he didn't feel the least bit sorry. If she thought that she wasn't going to be punished just because she wasn't the one that trapped him, then she had another thing coming.

"Then let me explain you something Lily. I am your servant. I will grant you any wish you want for three wishes. With the exception that I cannot bring the dead back to life. What's dead is dead and cannot be brought back. That is a law of the cosmos." His body was like chisled Turquoise as he looked down at her.

Then he turned around and walked to the window, watching the local men move past. He was naked, but until he took a mortal guise, was invisible to everyone but the woman who released him.

After studying the fashions for the time, he changed colors, and his body changed into a rather handsome man with a long black pony tail, Shimmering lake blue eyes, ivory white skin, and a red T-Shirt with denim jeans and biker boots. The gold collar changed to that of a crucifix pendant, and his bracelets stayed the same but with diamond Anhks.

 

[Dragonlady]

She looked at him, As he changed into a human form of a very sexy man .. Shacking her head she mummbled " Granny what did you get me into this time"
What is she supposed to do with him.. Heck she didn't even know the Jeanies excisted before 6 minutes ago...

she listen as he threaten her..Anger getting the better of her she started to yell at him "I"m not my Granny and I not makeing a wish just so I can take the easy way out of life forget it !"

She turned around and started walking away from him " Maybe its just a figment of my imagintion" mumbling

 

[Bigdavebeast]

"The easy way is it!" He roared at her and moved around her to look at her face. "I've been trapped in that book for 50 years. Now I don't care if you wish for 3 ice creams, but I am stuck as your slave until you make those 3 wishes. And I can make you wish." He wanted his freedom desperately and this girl was getting in his way.

"I can't leave your side until you do that for me. You think I want a life of servitude?" His eyes returned to the purple color and he stared deep into hers, fire and brimstone lurking in his. "Now make your first wish!"

He couldn't lay a hand on her, but he balled up his fist to try and scare her into wishing. He hoped she wouldn't notice that he never went through with his threat. "Or by the gods of the sahara, I will put you through so much agony, that'll you'll wish you were dead."

"Fine! I will make your damn wish just so you will get out my house and life..

I wish ..... I wish That you would be human for a week so you know what it is like"

She glared at him as she gave him her wish.. He pushed her and she knew it .. What a fool she was she knew he wouldn't hurt her. He was just pushing for his freedom..

Why didn't he just ask for her to free him besides the three wishes... She wouldn't do any more wishes .. She didn't know what would happen with her first one...

Her anger got the best of her she was a red head sighing ... she leaned against the door jam.

 

[Bigdavebeast]

His body turned back into the turqouise monster and he looked at her with a monotone voice. "Wish granted." Then he clutched his stomache as his body returned to his human state. His eyes were filled with agony and he hit his knees as the pain was incredible.

She could see his veins popping out of his skin, and he moaned in pain, then passed out. He wouldn't be leaving her side anytime soon since he was out on the floor. Ironically, his hand rested on the book that imprisoned him and the image in the center of the book was empty.

He was slowly breathing and his blood was pumping. When he woke up, this would be something new. She would find that he wasn't allowed to make suggestions, just get them to wish for anything they wanted.

 

[Dragonlady]

She watched him as he changed form... She screamed out because it scared her and the pain he must of gone through.... She reached down and brushed his hair from his eyes " I'm sorry my granny did this to you ... and kept you a slave ...

Is there a nick name my granny gave you so I may call you that since your going to be a house guest for awhile till i figure out what is right to do"

She touched his face showing him compasion ...

 

[Bigdavebeast]

He looked at her. Now powerless, he looked alot less majestic, and he looked at her calmly. The pain was starting to ebb, but it was still there as she could see his musles clenching and unclenching at a fast pace. His eyes were the deep blue and his heart was still pumping hard.

When she brushed the hair out of his face he finally spoke. "She called me Rook. And she forgot about my existence." he started standing up shakily and for the first time she saw why he was so angry in the first place. He thought she abandoned him.

He moved away abit. "You do realize, while you stripped me of my powers, you didn't strip me of my responsibility. I am yours." He bowed to her and it was obvious that there was no walking out of this one. He would be hers the entire time and that had to be agonizing to have all that power, and no way to use it for his pleasure.

"So is there anything I can do or answer for you?" He looked back at her, waiting for her first command.

 

[Dragonlady]

Brushing the hair away from her face she looked at him She knew he didn't want to be hear and why did granny keep him so " Tell me about my granny how did she happen to know you and keep you ... Why didn't she ever free you ? "

She looked at him clinching her hands ... She didn't know what to think did granny have some odd power of this man and if so she would be happy to free him .. Its just that she didn't really want to make any wishes ...

 

[Bigdavebeast]

"It was in the middle of World War 2. Your grandmother wanted something to protect her from the nazis in europe and she found an old dusty tome. The nazi's were pounding on her door as she was summoning a demon to protect her." He walked up to Lily and looked her in the eyes.

"Just as she felt her being grabbed by one of them, she finished the incantation and there I stood. She summoned a genie instead of a demon, fortunately for her. After I made quick work of them, I told her the same thing that I told you. But she studied up more on genies than you. She knew I couldn't tell her what to wish for. Only that her word was my command." His shoulders tensed as he remembered the woman he thought was his friend.

"She wanted to wander across europe so she had me tag along. Despite the fact that she hadn't wished anything. I acted as her invisible body guard. Then when she was done, she started wishing. And here we are. Here in america. I was happy. I wanted to be at her side forever until she made that final wish." His eyes almost seemed to glow, but he couldn't because of his new mortality.

"She knew that I would kill the man I brought her so she could have children, so she imprisoned me in the book for until the time when her offspring could find a way to release me." He grumphed at that point. Still angry at her for choosing another man over him.

 

[Dragonlady]

She listen to his story and a tear fell for him . Granny what have you done. " Come on your going to need to eat.. My first wished made you human and your going to need food" She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen

She made them both lunch She pointed to the chair for him to sit down as she put sloppy joe sandwich on his plate with some potato chips... She made sure the had ice tea and sat down and started to eat..... " I'm sorry My granny did this to you ... Do you any Idea why she left me to find you ?"

She knew that what ever the reason Granny had it had to be a good one .. Of course Granny always said she would find her soul mate.. She figured she was wrong when Johnny died in the car wreck before they got married....Wondering if she told him anything about her or was he just lost as she was...

 

[Bigdavebeast]

He ate like he watched other humans do so much. It was an interesting sensation and he listened to Lily's words. He was still angry at her for her relation but he was an ageless, ancient being. That's what they did despite how illogical it was.

"She left me in the book. I've been abandoned since then. She probably never even told you about me. I was just in her husband's face one moment, ready to rip out his intestines, and then the next second I was looking at you." She wasn't bad looking for a human. He wondered if she liked his guise, but wouldn't bother asking her.

"Once the week is over, I'm really going to need you to make those wishes. They don't have to be anything to give you a fancy advantage over others. It can be for a cheese sandwich. I don't care, but you don't want me around do you? I'm more trouble than what it's worth, with my obsession of freedom." He hoped it would be soon. He was very sure that she wanted him gone, else why would she make such a wish upon him?

 

[Dragonlady]

She looked at Rook .. " I don't know why Granny wouldn't free you ..Maybe she loved you enough not to set you free because she thought of only her happiness... Yes that was very selfish of her. And not fair to you at all.

Granny would tell me stories but I thought it was just make believe .. She told me I had pure heart to set a love one free cause she couldn't let you go"

She pursed her lips at him thinking of what she could do for him and maybe after the week is over she would make those wishes to help him out .. She didn't want him here but she could use the help... Maybe with all that magic life would sim different as a human...

She reached out and touched his hand out of kindness " After A week I will do what I can to set you free" as a single tear fell from her eyes from what her granny had done to this poor creature.

 

[Bigdavebeast]

He looked at her. "But if she loved me, why pick another man for her mate?" He was confused by that. It was obvious, even at his hatred for her trapping him in the book, that he still loved the old woman. And seeing Lily there was still surprising.

"You'll find that the reality is never as wonderful as the stories." It took him by surprise that even after the woman had trapped him, she told her grandchildren about him. What could she have been up to? No, surely she didn't mean for him to have the same type of relationship with her granddaughter as she had with him. That was a ridiculous thought.

"I don't mean to press so badly. It's just that I've seen how damaging things can be when friends find out that there's a being that can grant wishes as long as you hold their home." He was being serious there. He had even caused Rome to collapse when an enemy of the city found the object he was bound to. That time a necklace.

"You don't want that pressure for too long." He nodded at her.

 

[Dragonlady]

He looked at her. "But if she loved me, why pick another man for her mate?" He was confused by that. It was obvious, even at his hatred for her trapping him in the book, that he still loved the old woman.

She felt sorry for him What in the world was granny thinking and it seemed he loved granny very much" I'm sorry I can't answer that Maybe she didn't think she could have you because she wanted children... Or maybe she need to have child so she could have me as a granddaughter to set you free because it would hurt her if you left"


"I don't mean to press so badly. It's just that I've seen how damaging things can be when friends find out that there's a being that can grant wishes as long as you hold their home." "You don't want that pressure for too long."

She looked at him and gave a long sigh" I don't know what to wish for ... There has to be a cause and effect if I do wish Rook ... I don't want that to happen ....What would you wish for?"

She knew he wasn't suppose to say but he need to trust her .. Plus she need to find out why her GRanny would prison him for 50 years in a book and he loved her to boot ...

 

[Bigdavebeast]

He ate the chips thoughtfully for a few moments before answering. "You speak as if you think your grandmother wanted us to be together, before you even existed." He looked at her seriously as he said it. Humans in his history never looked at things that far in advance. Humans just didn't live for that long enough of a period of time.

"It can be difficult to have a million things at your disposal, but no clues to what you can choose isn't it? I am not allowed to tell you anything, I litterally physically can't tell you. But I can give you hints what not to ask for. I wouldn't suggest immortality due to experience."

He scratched his chin. "And depending on how many people are now in this area, I wouldn't ask for money that you can't explain easily. People would start asking questions."He looked at her thoughtfully.

He continued. "For the most part, wishes really don't have that much of an impact. Unless you wanted to say, have me kill someone, or bring back someone from the dead. The first one has obvious repurcussions, especially you having murder on your soul when you make it to the afterlife. I don't have to worry about that. And like I said, the laws of the cosmos really stop me from bringing people back."

She looked at him surpirsed maybe Granny didn't tell him her one special ability .Boy! Would that throw him for a loop and Good Old Granny had poor Rook on a leash and he didn't even know it.. Poor Guy he got duped by Granny and was stuck in a book for 50 years because she wanted me to break a curse.. Thanks alot Granny' Rook I have to tell you something Granny had this one Special ability to see the future.. I'm not makeing excuses but Maybe she did it because she knew I was the one that could free you "

She knew she was going to have to make a wish for him .. But what was it going to cost her .... Or even him at this time.. She would wait till the week was over and then think about the right wish.. She needed to take her time.. Rook wanted them done an over with but she understood why.


"Rook I know I'm the last person you really want to like right now , But I like to be your friend.. When the week is over I will make my wishes and then you will be free to do what you want.. Its the best I can do right now when I have to make sure know one gets hurt by my wishes ... I'm sorry for my first wish but you pushed me into it.... " she touched his hand " Please forgive me and to let you know I'm not my grandma"

 

[Bigdavebeast]

"You were under duress, I can hardly blame you for your actions. But you've probably figured out my limitation here. I cannot force my mistress to wish in any way shape or form. I can only try and trick her into doing so." He felt her hand touch his, and looked at her. "I should just be glad you didn't wish me to be a human of my age. You'd have killed me. Then you would have become a genie."

Just take care of this girls needs for a week and then she'll wish him free. That's all he wanted. He could do whatever he wanted at that point. He'd always been curious about Bermuda. Or maybe find a female genie for himself by going home. He turned his hand so he was shaking hers. "Deal, we shall be friends." He smiled easily at her.

 

[Dragonlady]

She smiled at him " So what do you want to do today?? I have to be at work at 6pm But the day is still young so we can explore a little if you like.."

She watched this man before her.... How was she going to put up with him for a week and let alone know what to wish for but his freedom...
