~Nakoma's POV~
Clay's eyes flash with anger when he see's Chase.

"Chase Young, prepare for a humiliating defeat," Omi shouts.

"Come on, Chrome dome, come up with a new catch phrase," I say in between bites of chocolate.

"That is a very rude thing to say to your rescuer."

"I haven't been rescued yet," I point out, annoyed.

"Well, be silent so we can fight Chase Young for your freedom!"

"Don't tell me to shut up!" I can see Chase pinching the bridge of his nose. "How have you not beat the crap outta this kid yet," I ask Clay.

"That's what I do in practice." I sit down cross-legged and point to Omi.

"If you beat anyone today, make it Shorty." Chase smirks at me.

"I intend to beat them all."

"No, if you harm my brother I will personally shove you off your own mountain." I smile at him and lay my head against Colby's leg. "Let the fighting commence." Jack walks over to me and begins to rub my shoulders. The two monks attack Chase and an epic battle ensues; all the while Jack, Colby, and I make a fire and roast marshmellos. Night turns to day, to night again and still the fight rages on. I brake out my guitar and we begin to sing the Campfire Song off of Spongebob. Colby is a natural at it! Finally Chase gets the better of the monks and beats them.

"Are you happy now," Chase asks me. "I beat them."

"That was the longest fight I ever saw, it shouldn't take you that long to beat a thirteen and sixteen year old, pretty boy." He picks me up over his shoulder.

"Put all three of them in the dungeons. I want someone guarding them 24/7," Chase commands to one of his cats.

~Chase's POV~

The monks have improved, but are still no match for me. I sit Nakoma on the bed and cover her up before walking to my side of the bed and laying down. I no longer wear my armor because Nakoma grew feed up with it and threw it out. My body is aching, but I will be better by tomorrow. I close my eyes and allow myself to drift off.

~Dream/Flashback~Akeira's POV~

Chase has been gone all day so Dashi and Guan took turns helping me around. I am now seven weeks pregnant! Dojo likes to joke that I have hollow legs since I've been devouring food and havn't gained any weight. Right now I'm laying on my mat, sewing a dress. Loud screams of alarm and terror reach me, as does the acrid smell of smoke, and I stand straight up. Did Wuya escape?

"Akeira!"

"Chase?" He walks calmly into the room, a smile on his face. "What's going on out there?" He takes my arm in a tight grip and drags me after him. Jungle cats are attacking the temple! Chase takes me into one of the unused rooms and in the center of it is Dashi, Guan, and Master Qin.

"Akeira," they all cry out, terrified yet angry looks on their faces.

"What is going on," I whimper. I turn to face Chase and, for the first time since he returned, look into his eyes. They are no longer a warm amber color, but a hard gold and slitted like a snake's! This is not the man I loved, this man, this beast is evil. He forces me to my knees and binds me with some rope.

"You see, Akeira? The Xiaolin side is weak, and no wife of mine can be weak." He bends down to whisper in my ear. "Are you Xiaolin, Princess, are you weak?"

~End Dream/Flashback~

~Nakoma's POV~

I wake up in a cold sweat. I've been having that same nightmare almost every night since I turned thirteen. I can still feel the pain as a claw is run down my cheek.

"Nakoma? What's wrong," asks Chase, concern evident in his voice. Until now, the man was just a shadow with a name, now it has a face.

"You did it!"

"Did what?"

"You hurt her, hurt me!"

"Nikkie, what are you talking about?" I get up and run out of his room. He's the one that plauges my dreams at night! He's the reason I was afraid to get close to people! It's all his fault! How could I have trusted him? I run down the stone steps to the dungeon, dismissing the cats on guard duty.

~Clay POV~

Nakoma bursts into the dungeon, wearing only her nightgown and crying her eyes out.

"Jack," she cries. He walks to the front of the cell and strokes the hair out of her face. "He did it! He's the one who caused my nightmares!"

"Shh, it's alright. Everything will be alright," he whispers soothingly, glaring at the wall behind her.

"It won't be alright! Jack, I'm carrying her baby. The baby I was meant to have 1,500 years ago."

"Stand back." She complies reluctantly and Jack begins to pick the lock. When he's finally done, he pushes the door open and hugs his sister tightly.

"I know you guys are having a moment, but we really gotta go," I say, gently taking Nakoma's hand. She takes a step forward and falls to her knees. "I'm the strongest so I'll carry her." Jack agrees reluctantly and I pick her up bridal style. We run out of the dungeon, heading to safety.
