Hmm. Im super super super super sorry for not updating. Me and my co-writer both had conflicting schedules so when I had this done she couldn't edit. So now her computers broken and im posting this with no edit at all. So all the errors are mine sorry. Please review.

Thinking back as I woke up on the cold stone bed, I realized something. I hadn't really looked at what Marr had looked like. I had been too dazzled by his appearance to even take in that he really was there. Marr. Like in the video game. But it wasn't really a video game. Apparently, this life was real. It was just too much to take in right now.

I pulled my knees up to my chest and inhaled deeply. I didn't know why I was taking this so badly now. Sure, I had been living in this world for over three months now, but the full force of it finally hit me. I was never going to see my family or my friends again. I'm never going to live a normal life. I didn't get to complain about too much homework to my parents, no more squabbling with my adoptive sibling. No more painting or playing video games or reading or writing. Nothing.

My whole life now was filled with fighting and trying to survive.

I took another deep breath only seconds before hearing a frantic voice in my head, "Maddy! Maddy! Are you there? Please tell me you're OK!"

"Jak! I'm ok." I tried to respond, but it felt different, like a thick wall was there. Like my voice was just reverberating through my head.

"Maddy! Please answer me!" Jak's voice cried in desperation.

"Jak! I'm here! Jak!" It was starting to dawn on me; he couldn't hear me.

"Maddy! Please don't be dead! Please, I don't know what I'll do without you. I think I lov-" the words in my head were cut off by someone rudely bursting into my cell.

I picked my head up off my knees to see Gol standing in the doorway of the room. "Come on Sweet Cheeks, time to go."

"Why do I have to go? Jak will beat your ass anyway! Just leave me here 'till he comes and gets me." I said harshly, not moving an inch.

"You being there will instigate him. Make him more motivated, but more rash in reaction. Let's hope that you'll make him forget to even be careful." Gol responded gleefully. It made me sick. "Now we can do this the easy way, or the hard way." He said more seriously this time.

Suddenly I was hit with a powerful emotion; heartbreak. I started to listen to the voice in my head that kept repeating just two words; "She's dead. She's dead. She's dead. She's dead." The pain that came with that voice was my pain. There was a feeling that there was an elephant sitting on my chest, compressing my lungs it, and crushing my heart.

'JAK!' I yelled in my head, not knowing if I could stand this pain. What if that's what he was feeling? What if we can share emotions now, too? Then I had the brilliant idea to try it.

I conjured up all my pent up rage at Gol, all my humiliation at getting hurt in Snowy Mountain, all my love I felt for him and sent it all to him. I knew it at that moment that I did love Jak. I loved him, and I was going to tell him; one way or another.

'Maddy?' Jak's voice was suddenly filled with hope; he must have felt it. 'Are you there?' I felt like jumping around in circles, but I couldn't. That was when I remembered my current situation. I looked up to see Gol staring at me with a peculiar expression on his face.

I veiled my face in the cold mask I had recently had. "I'm not going." I said stiffly. Even though to temptation to see Jak was almost overpowering, I knew Gol was right; if I was there, Jak was going to get thrown off. But what if Jak had become so accustomed to fighting with me that me not being there was going to throw him off?

"The hard way, then?" Gol questioned, slowly walking towards me.

"Wait! I changed my mind. I'll go on one condition," When he stopped stalking towards me, I said, "you let me fight with Jak."

He hesitated, then, underestimated our power together, and said, "Well, might as well get rid of both of you at once then, huh?"

I couldn't believe that he would actually let me. Jak and I together were an unstoppable force. He was going to regret this choice.

"Jak!" I yelled, running into his arms. With his arms wrapped around me I realized how good he smelled. I had missed him so much. "I missed you." I said quietly.

'Maddy.' He purred contentedly. 'You have no idea how much I missed you.' I felt the friction in the air around us multiply as he said that. The air was practically humming with energy.

"Jak… I can't… I can't respond anymore. In my head I mean."

'I thought you had died.' It was almost inaudible in my head. 'Maddy, I need to…' Before he finished his sentence, his lips were on mine, softly and gently at first, but it became more intense after a while, and that's when Gol coughed.

"Will you two love birds STOP. " He growled.

With both looked up, finally realizing the company that killed the sweetness of our reunion.

"Did you two really think I would let you go out and fight my monster? How stupid are you?" He took a step back, two, three, until he was at the door. He gave us an evil smirk then closed the door.

"How did I not see this coming?" I yelled in frustration while pacing back and forth across the floor. The room we were in was small and claustrophobic, with only one bed and a toilet and a sink; no shower.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Jak. 'Calm down, Maddy. We'll find a way out…'

For what seemed like the thousandth time, I tried to respond in my head, but it just didn't want to come out.

"Ugh!" I threw my hands up in the air. Everything was so frustrating right now.

Jak took a step towards me, then held his arms open. Grateful for the comfort, I walked towards him and wrapped my arms tightly around him. He let his cheek rest lightly on the top of my head, and I heard him inhale deeply. I felt his lips travel lightly down my neck and kiss my soft spot. Shivers rocked through my body.

'Relax, Maddy. Relax.'

I felt my body respond to his words. That and the fact that his hands were now on my lower back rubbing soothing circles there.

My head that had previously been resting on his shoulder, shot up. "I have an idea!"

Jak looked up at me curiously, and I responded, "Ok, I don't know if this is going to work, but when I, erm, fell when I was in Snowy Mountain, I felt my leg snap. I'm positive that I had broken it. I couldn't move it, that's why I wasn't able to get up." I looked down at my feet. "But, I didn't feel any pain." I said, my voice growing more confident. "But, when I woke up, my leg was fine. Not even a scratch." I paused to let that sink in. "Then I thought about something else." I took a deep breath. "Do you remember when I fell into that Dark Eco?" He shivered but nodded all the same. "and I got that big scratch on my back that left a scar?" Once again, he nodded, still not sure where I was going with this.

I started to pull up my tank top. I laughed when I saw his eyes widen to the size of saucers. I successfully pulled my shirt up so it was just showing my back, but still covering my front, showed him the evidence.

'It's gone.' He said. 'You're scar's gone.'

"My point exactly. Jak, I think my body absorbs eco, and stores it for later." I said excitedly, while pulling my shirt back down.

"My point exactly. Jak, I think my body absorbs eco, and stores it for later." I said excitedly, while pulling my shirt back down, but he stopped me, pulling off the top layer so I was only in a tank top. Then he pulled me close and shoved his lips to mine, holding me tightly.

He sucked my top lip into his mouth, and picked me up, placing me against the wall. The wall was freezing on my back, and it contrasted amazingly with the heat of his body, so I didn't mind much. I started kissing back feverishly as he held his hands firmly on my hips.

"Jak…what..?" I replied in between his assault on my lips.

"I thought you were dead…" He growled in my head. "I thought… I thought I wasn't going to be able to see you again…I thought I wouldn't get to tell you…"

I understand he missed me but was it really the time to be attacking me?

A shove of his hips against mine led me to the answer. Yes.

I just realized how much I actually missed him. I snaked my hands up into his hair and pulled his face to mine.

I pulled away slightly, my lips still on his lightly, but barely making contact.

"Jak…I missed you…I missed you so much. I'm sorry I stormed off.." He kissed me again once, and pulled away., leaving me aching inside. "I'm sorry I keep nearly dying…I'm sorry for the trouble. You were right about me just needing to be saved. I didn't want to be saved this time. I wanted to be left in the snow." I said and he shook his head and pulled my face to his again, shoving his hips into mine once more, resulting in a small moan from the back of my throat. He was going to drive me insane, I swear.

"No, Maddy, don't say that. I couldn't handle it if you died. Especially if I didn't get to tell you. Oh Precursors Maddy, Don't ever do that again." He said in my head.

I furrowed my brows in confusion and pulled away and looked at him. "Tell me what?" I asked, seeing his face go slightly red, eyes looking away.

"Maddy, I realized when you were gone . . . I . . . I . . . I think I . . ." He stopped and pulled back, looking me in the eyes. His deep, deep eyes staring into mine; I could feel myself getting lost in them, drowning in the deep blue of his eyes. I mentally shook myself but went back to staring at him, wondering what he wanted to say so badly.

He took a deep breath, then said, 'Maddy, I love you. So much.' He looked at me, as if gauging my reaction to his words, and I was frozen, then I launched myself at him again kissing and licking him. "Oh, Jak, I love you, too." I momentarily forgot where we were at because I was so happy.

'Oh, Maddy, you don't know how long I've wanted to say that.' His voice was husky in my head. Then he kissed me so thoroughly that I forgot my name.

"Oh, Jak." I moaned, apparently I hadn't forgot his.

He pushed me up against the wall again, after having let me down earlier, and lifted my legs until they were wrapped around his waist, and I snaked my hands up until I could lace my fingers through his hair.

I moaned again, and twisted my neck so he could reach it. This movement caused my hips to grind against his again, causing delicious friction between us. 'Oh, Precursors, Maddy. Don't stop.' Jak growled in my head.

I grinded my hips to his again, and this time his rose to meet mine; his obvious arousal hitting my warm center, and I bit my lip to stop from moaning again.

'Don't stop your sounds, I love them.' Jak said, while grinding himself into me harder, I couldn't hold back the moan this time. I started moving my hips faster and he matched my rhythm.

He moved his mouth back to mine, kissing me, and I opened my mouth to his, letting his tongue dominate mine because I couldn't think of anything besides pleasure right now.

"Oh Jak. Oh, Precursors, Jak." I felt him stiffen under me, I felt his whole body stiffen, and I knew what was going to happen, and I really wanted to let it, but I couldn't.

I had to force my hips to stop grinding against his, no matter how badly I wanted to keep going. He looked at me, and he looked ashamed. "No, Jak, don't be embarrassed, we have to stop." I knew he understood, he didn't have any other clothes and an, umm, accident, wouldn't be very good right now.

I unhooked my legs from behind him, knowing it was only tempting him more for me to be in that position.

In my head I heard him say, 'Spiders. Old Ladies. Bird Lady. Samos.' And I couldn't help laughing. He didn't even look up, but kept going. 'Fisherman. Snakes. Poisonous toads. Kiera,' I froze but he kept going, not realizing that what he had said had affected me like it did. 'Plant monster. Dead puppies. Old ladies running.' He shuddered, but sighed. I had enough sense to look down and see that most of the ten in his pants was gone, but I was still frozen.

Jak looked at me, 'What?' he asked confusedly.

"You said Kiera."

He looked down at his feet, 'She's been coming on to me for years, and I've known her for forever, and it's just weird. Major turn off.'

I was ready to throw myself at him again, giddy with joy. Technically, I had won. He liked me. Jak had to think about Kiera to turn himself off (I don't know how to phrase that, so can you do that, but you get what I mean right?) from thoughts of me.

"Oh, Jak. I love you." The words felt perfect on my lips, and it was even better when he responded with, 'I love you too, so much more than you know.'

This time I did throw myself at him in a tackle hug that sent us both tumbling to the bed.

'You're hot.' He said.

"Jak," I said reprimandingly while playfully slapping his arm.

'No, seriously, you're hot. It burns.' He winced, and I got up looking down and noticing the yellow spark in my hand. I looked up at him, then down at my hands; then up at him, noticing the faint red mark where my hands had been previously.

My hands sparked brighter. I felt the power building in my body, and I knew this was a perfect time to break the door. Knowing my hands were only seconds away from shooting Yellow Eco, I pointed them at the door and closed my eyes, waiting.

I felt the power surge through my hands, and it was so powerful it knocked me backwards into Jak's waiting arms. I opened my eyes to see a hole in the door about two and a half feet tall and wide. I saw another one at the end of the hall, and I saw the elevator. THE elevator. The one that would take us up to the top of the citadel.

I looked at Jak's astounded face, and shrugged walking to the corner and grabbing the black and green back pack that Marr had given me. It was more sturdy then my old one so I had transferred all my things into it, including the 40 something Power Cells I had.

I walked towards the door, and tried to nonchalantly slide through it, but failed miserably. I, being the klutz I am, got a big slice on my arm. "Ow!" I screeched.

Jak came running out, shaking his head at me, but froze, staring at the cut.

I twisted my head to look at the cut, or what had been the cut; right before our eyes we could see the slice that had been about the length of my hand heal up until there wasn't even a scar, only left over blood. It stung a tiny bit, but not like it should have.

I couldn't resist saying, "I told you so."

Grinning, Jak and I set off down the hall, ready to take on whatever we found there; or so we thought.
