= = = Oh shit! Shit's about to get real hot up in the club!
Jake tightly closes his eyes and prepares for the bullet that will send him into darkness...Eight, ten, fifteen seconds pass and Jake risks a look at his supposed to be killer- but Dirk is no longer paying any attention to him, but more to the center of the portal.
Which is where a dim orange and emerald beam of light steadily grows outward, toward where both Jake and Dirk are stationed at. Both Dirk and Jake duly notice the portal's symbols have taken up a life of their own along side the light, but are too preoccupied by their own thoughts to give a shit.
Jake knits his eyebrows in confusion at this, and looks to Dirk for explanation,"What in god's name is happening?" Dirk doesn't bother looking at you, "Hell if I know." He says irritably. "What do you you don't know?" Jake questions. Dirk let's out a small sigh in aggravation ,"I mean exactly what I said: I don't know. But I do have some theories that I rather not become reality."
Jake's emerald eyes narrow with suspicion, "What do you mean by 'theories' Strider?" Dirk rolls his eyes behind the safety of his pointy anime shades, "Calm down English. The most apparent theory is that somehow we done and upped up mixed our bloods together and ended up creating an unbreakable contract." Dirk pauses, for a deep sigh.
"From what I know about contracts, which isn't as much as i'd like are that: a. I can't venture to far from your side, b. that means I can't go back to Derse unless you're with me, contract is not broken until one or both of the contractors die and d. It is my job to protect you with my life until the contract is broken. " The light is now just barely two inches away.
Jake's eyes widened in the sudden weight of what Dirk had just said, Jake faces away from the accusing light, "I don't understand why we couldn't just stay away from the blasted light." Dirk turned his full attention back to Jake. Dirk looked down so that he was looking Jake straight in the eye, "I wish it were that simple English, this symbol servers more than one purpose. This symbol is the exact same one you would use to summon a demon and create a bond with them, and that of one you would use to open a portal to Derse. The only difference between the two is to make a contract between a demon and the summoner they both need to mix their blood somewhere on the symbol. Then it doesn't matter if you're on the symbol or not, once it's done it's final." Jake silently curses his luck and for the second time today he is engulfed by a beam of light, except this time you're not the only person.
The light clears after a few seconds and Jake sighs in relief, "So...we have a contract now." Jake said with some awkwardness. "Yeah." Dirk replies. "You could get off of me now, I promise I won't attack you or anything. I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I shouldn't have just assumed that you were here to take over the planet and destroy life as we know it." Jake rubs the back of his head anxiously. Dirk hesitantly gets off of Jake, but gets off of him none the less. Dirk offers a hand to Jake and Jake gratefully takes it. Once Jake is on his feet he dusts his front off and turns to pick up both of his discarded guns, to put them back in their hostelers.
"It's fine." Dirk replies. "Okay" Jake looks at Dirk from the corner of his eye. Jake walks over to Dirk and stops once he is next to him. Dirk Holds out his fast, as to give Jake a fist bump, "We cool now?" Jake smiles brightly "Of course, chap" Jake fist bumps Dirk. Both of their arms fall lippy back to their respective sides, "So what now?" Dirk just shrugs, "I have no clue. We could hunt the evil supernatural beings here on your planet or something like that...If your cool with that" Jake gleams with joy and excitement of an possible adventure, "You bet your left dime I am! I love adventure!" Jake beams excitedly. "Wow there partner, don't hurt yourself." Jake is grinning like an idiot and doesn't notice the small smile that appears on Dirk's face, but as quickly as it's there it's gone.
Dirk looks around the cave, "Where do you even live anyway?" This snaps Jake out of his day dreams of going on an actual possible adventure, "Oh! I live on this island, near the volcano. Which if I recall isn't much of a walk from the cliff I fell off of, but I don't know where this cave is located." Dirk thinks this information over, "Okay, I can get us out of this cave and to the cliff, if you lead the rest of your way back to your house." Jake nods "I can do that. You have yourself a deal Strider!" Dirk starts walking toward the pinkish dim light coming from the opening created by Jake, "Alright, but we better hurry.'Cause it'll be getting dark here soon." Jake quickly follows behind Dirk, "Blimey, I can't believe it's gotten so late" "Yeah, that happens when you have a day like today." Dirk responds.
