So…I had a review mentioning that they would have like me to add in the Sin/Leila smut. (Also thank you bookgirl18 for the review and letting me know! )

So…I may have actually written a bit of smut, but was hesitant to put it in. I don't want to necessarily add it into the main story of people don't want it there, but could do a series of one shots to put in the smut and a few fluffy things I have written that don't really add anything to this overall plot. I put up a poll, so please let me know your opinion.

One last side note. Thanks to Thistle-Chan, Layla347, SaberNymph, Sakura198706, and twistedlittledoll, and whoever did the anonymous review for your reviews. (Apologies for not giving you all a shoutout sooner)

I do not own magi or the characters. I do own my oc.

Chapter 54

—Leila's POV—

I hold my breath feeling Sinbad squeeze my hand.

Salena and Maat stand on the platform looking back at us. Maat looks confused, while Salena looks terrified.

I didn't want them to get dragged into this Djinn's trials. Maat's still upset over her brother and Salena's just too young and hasn't trained to fight with her magic.

"They're stronger than even you give them credit for," says Ja'far coming beside me. I can see his fingers twitching towards his rope darts. "They'll be okay."

"I don't trust Zepar," I say noticing a slight burning sensation coming from my choker. "Sin, if they don't make it out."

"They're strong, Leila," he says tightening his grip. "We're all going to make it out. Your promised Babu and I'm promising you."

I nod reaching over and squeezing Ja'far shoulder for just a moment. I can't shake this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this won't go well.

Zepar clears his throat causing me to look up at him. "A follower should be able to face their worst fears for their leader. The things that give them nightmares and haunt their very soul. Why don't we see if you can face yours?"

"But I don't want to fight spiders," says Salena hiding behind Maat. I clench my teeth know Salena's just trying to keep this from seeming too serious, but she's more scared than ever before. "They're wired and creepy."

"It's probably going to be worse than spiders," says Maat smiling at Salena but I can see she's scared as well.

"What the hell does that even mean," I say harshly to the Djinn, as Sinbad continues to keep me from moving forward to step in.

"Have a look," says Zepar smiling. I look behind Maat and Salena seeing two people standing there.

"Oh god," I say turning to grip Sinbad's arm. He tenses up, keeping a firm grip. "Kasim and Fatima."

"That's…," asks Sinbad as I nod. I can feel his breathing deepen as glances up to see his jaw clench.

"He's making them fight the fear we both share," I say starting to shake. "The fear that even I struggle to face."

"Why do you fear Fatima," asks Sinbad quietly. I stay silent, not wanting to admit what one of Maader's last resorts to get me to break was.

"Maat," says Salena shakily hiding behind the older girl. "Leila."

"This will be the trial," remarks Zepar as Fatima moves forward with his whip. "I will not consider giving you my power if they cannot defeat these two."

I watch as a barrier goes up around the four, trapping them there.

"I don't care if I get your power," I yell now having Ja'far helping Sinbad to keep me from doing something reckless. "Don't make them do this."

"Why not," says the Djinn watching as Kasim and Fatima rush Salena and Maat. They start to dodge attacks not really sure what to do. "You've faces a countless number of your greatest fears. Once you conquered one, another arose. And you fought back. Why can they not fight theirs?"

"They can, but not alone," I argue shocked as Sinbad pulls me into his chest, tightly. "For so much of mine, I was alone. I swore I'd be there for them."

"Leila," says Sinbad worried as I feel my legs start to waver. I don't let more people I care about get hurt.

"Please just let them go," I beg. "Please just stop. I don't care about claiming your power for myself."

"You came into my dungeon," says the Djinn still smiling. "This is on you."

I fall to my knees feeling the guilt consuming me. I turn back towards them just in time to see Salena's Borg start to give from another strike of Fatima. All the while Maat continues to block attacks from the Kasim, looking horrified. Why I agreed to tell her what he looked is so beyond me now?

I flinch as Salena's borg starts to crack under the pressure of Fatima's attacks. He has to be a creature of the dungeon, being powered by Zepar himself.

"Salena," I yell wanting desperately to help them. "Damn it," I remark my voice quivering. "I said stop."

"It's too late for that," says Zepar calmly.

"Fine."

I stand up shoving Sinbad away. I can feel Seere urging me to do something, and I can't wait anymore. I let the equip take hold and start my attack before Ja'far and Sinbad can stop me. Using the flash as cover I generate a sound wave in my right arm. I have to touch the barrier to shatter it and need to keep up the speed. It's going to injure my shoulder, but I don't have much choice.

I smash into the barrier feeling the pain shoot through my arm through to my neck as the force dislocated my shoulder.

If I can keep my equip up it should go unnoticed.

I land striking Fatima and then Kasim, putting distance between them and Maat and Salena before stopping as the dust settles

"Seere," growls Zepar. "You claimed his dungeon. That son of a bitch concealed that from me."

"I said enough," I growl as both Fatima and Kasim turn towards her. I look down feeling my equip fade. I thought it would last longer, but I watch the low riding green flowing pants and white wrap top fade, quickly followed by the jewelry I gain in this equip Some of the members of the Sindria group are watching me shocked. I glance at my shoulder, cursing at the fact it looks just as bad as it feel, swellin and brushing already. "They don't have to fight this alone."

"Well..well…well," starts Kasim starting towards me, as I grab my one dagger. "If the brat isn't back. Once I'm done with you I'll finish off the other one."

"If you can get through me," I scoff spinning to dodge an attack from Fatima.

"You idiot," says Fatima as Maat runs over to Salena, who's crying. "Why the hell would you try to fight us? Don't you fear us, too."

"Shut up. Quickly, moving forward, I knock him to the ground. I turn to avoid a hit goes to turn, stumbling as Kasim's rope darts tangle around her leg. All the air leaves my lunges as I fall hard on my back, using the dagger to stop him from attacking me.

"Leila," yells Sinbad grabbing his sword. I shake my head before using Kasim's momentum against him and adding some distance between us. My shoulders throbbing, and a close fight will only get me killed.

"Move from where you stand and I will kill all three of them," says the Djinn calmly. I can see Ja'far is clenching his teeth debating if he can do something, but something else is bothering him. "That goes for everyone. No one else is allowed to step in."

"Leila," says Salena shakily as Maat works to protect her.

I let out a yelp as Fatima pins me this time. I was too distracted by everything else. I don't get a chance to move before he pins my left hand above my head. I can't move my right arm without sending stars into my vision.

"The worthless piece of shit over there shouldn't be the only one scared of me," he growls pinning forcing his legs harshly into mine. "Should I remind you what I did," he grows his face only inches from me. He so close I can smell the food Maader would feed the slaves on his breaths. How deep into my thoughts did Zepar peer. I move to headbutt him, but he uses his hand to grabs a fistful of hair slam my head into the ground. I blink finding it hard to focus my vision. "I'll take that as a yes," he says letting go only to grab the top of my shirt. "Have you let Sinbad do what I did to you?"

"Get off me," I growl trying to push him up. He shoves me back down smiling as Kasim faces the other two, keeping them from intervening.

"Come on," says Fatima smiling as he shoves a hand up my shirt squeezing my one breast. "Maybe I'll take it a little further," he says using his leg to separate mine, sending my mind into a panic. "I haven't gotten to the really good part."

"Don't touch her," yells Sinbad as I snap to look at him. He looks ready to intervene now.

"If you step in I will kill all of them," says the Djinn eerily calm. I can see Sinbad waiver.

"Leave her alone," says Salena, giving Fatima pause to turn to look at the young girl. "Don't hurt her anymore."

"She brought this on herself," says Kasim moving towards the two. "Now stay out of this like good little girls. Your aunt was very well behaved."

"Leave my family out of this," says Maat holding Salena closer. "What the hell do you want?"

"Shut up," I scream using my foot to shove Fatima.

I move forwards sending Kasim back to Fatima

. "Fire blade," I yell sending a wave of fire towards the two. It doesn't hit them though. The disappear, and I turn to find them. As I turn, I get a sharp pain in my leg as Kasim cuts my thigh as Fatima hits me in the jaw, sending me flying back. I can feel I'm not getting up quickly. Even when I do, I'm not sure what to do. My shoulder hurts to much to focus on keeping an equip up. I start to get up, clutching my shoulder. I can't give in yet.

"We'll make sure to kill you quickly-"

"Household Vessel, Bifroro Sai," we hear Maat yell. I jump as a pillar of crystals launches off her bracelet, sending Kasim off the edge of the platform barely missing me.

That was a-

"You bit-"

"Ramz," yells Salena sending the most powerful beam to lightening she can at Fatima. We all watch as a sand figure disintegrates turning to dust.

"Leila," yells Salena running up to me before I can think about what just happened. She doesn't wait to throw her arms around my neck as I try not to yelp. Instead I wrap my one good arm around her, feeling her shake like a leaf.

"It's okay," I coo gently smoothing the back of Salena hair. "It's over now."

"Leila," says Maat kneeling next to me. "Your shoulder."

"Are you okay," I ask ignoring the question. "Both of you?"

"What a waste of time," says Zepar, sounding bored. I let go of Salena, keeping the young girl behind me as I faces the Djinn. "I don't want to share my master with another sound Djinn, let alone Seere. I won't give you my power, even though they did pass."

"After that shit, what makes you think I'd want to gain your power," I hiss feeling a sudden sharp pain in my side, refusing to waver though. "After that, I'd rather just kick your ass."

"Leila," says Salena shakily giving me pause. "You're hurt. Please don't fight anymore."

"It's okay," I reply kneeling in front of the girl. "Everyone's okay."

I look around as the Djinn snaps his fingers. We land near Sinbad and Ja'far as I start to feel dizzy.

"Salena," says Sahel quickly going over to make sure the young magician is okay. "Did you get hurt," she asks checking her for injuries. Ja'far approaches Maat and she just urges him to help me as Sinbad pauses putting his sword away.

"No," she says as I hear Drakon approach behind me. "But Leila…"

"Listen to me, sweetie," I say getting Salena to turn towards me as I lightly grip her arm. "I'm going to be fine," I continue, wiping the tears off Salena's cheeks.

"Leila," says Sinbad, his voice just as tense as he is. "You need to lay down. We need to get your shoulder back into place."

"Sin, if it has to wait-"

"It's swelling already," says Sinbad trying to be a bit more calm. "If we wait to long you know it will only hurt more." I bites my lip as he moves next to me along with Hinahoho and Mystras.

I look over at Salena seeing Drakon urge her away. She doesn't want to leave as I feel guilt building in my chest. It's getting harder to focus as my ribs start to ache more.

Without really thinking, Sinbad has me lay down. Now that the fights over my whole body aches and I'm starting to really feel the toll of what I did. Sinbad pauses gripping my hand as I look up at him. I nod realizing he's ready to start. I grit my teeth, feeling my breathing become uneven as he tries to gently move my arm. When it suddenly pops back into place I just barely manage to choke down a scream.

"Leila," says Sinbad softly. I don't respond, needing to collect myself and he leans closer. "Talk to me," he urges as I lift my left hand.

I wrap it around Sinbad's shoulder, who realizing what I'm doing wraps his arms around me pulling me close. He helps me up and I bury my face in his neck wanting to dwell on the stability as I start to shake. He just holds me.

"You're going to explain everything once this is over," remarks Sinbad calmly, keeping a firm grip.

"Okay," I whisper into his neck.

"Can we get back to the trials," says the Djinn as wE separate.

He kisses my temple quickly whispering for me to rest. I nod as he lingers just a moment longer. I can see on his face that he doesn't want to leave, but this Djinn is clearly cruel.

If we act against him too much he could kill everyone here.
