*mean while near the red dorm*

Jesse was running as fast as he could as he headed to the red dorm hoping Jaden would be alright.

"Please be ok jay, please don't quit on me now!" Jesse said through clinched teeth as he ran. When he came to the dorm he saw that Shirley Jim's alligator was outside; which wasn't normal. Jaden sick or not Jim always kept Shirley close by. Jesse began to panic as he came to a stop at the door trying not to trip over the agitated alligator; he was shaking so bad he could hardly open the door.

Come on Jesse, Jaden needs you. Clenching his teeth Jesse steeled himself and opened the door to Jaden's room.

As he came in he saw Jim sitting on a stool next to Jaden's bed with his head in his hands. Jesse's heart sunk. No pleas no, please don't be dead, Jesse thought as he came in to the room.

Jim looked up when he saw Jesse. Jesse could see the eye of Oricalcome glowing underneath its bandages.

"Jim what's wrong? He isn't… he's still…" Jesse stumbled over the words trying to put his fears into the words he didn't want to say as he looked from Jaden and back to Jim.

"Don't worry Jess he's still alive. Barely but alive, but that's not our biggest problem. Jim said as he started pulling the bandages off his right eye.

Jesse was relieved that Jaden was alive but wasn't getting where Jim was going with his last statement or why he was bringing out the eye of Oricalcome.

"What do you mean not our biggest problem? Jim what's wrong with Jaden?" Jesse asked panic starting to return as Jim stood up and came over to him.

"Jesse I think the reason Jaden has been so weak and worn out lately is because Haou is somehow steeling Jaden's energy when he sleeps; and I don't think this is the first time Jaden's collapsed like this either." Jim said as he looked over at Jaden with fear in his eyes.

"I think he's trying a different tactic of getting control over Jaden. This time through utter exhaustion; though I can't be sure till I get a look inside his head and have a look for myself. I don't think he was trying to cause Jaden to get sick though but he may try to use it to his advantage if we don't stop it from happening." Jim said as he looked back at Jesse, his right eye burning red.

"Jesse if I don't do something quick we may lose Jaden to the darkness forever."
