JaK&dAxTeR

I am sooooooo sorry! ! ! I have had the worst writers block! Here, ill try to make it up to you!

FORGIVE ME! ! ! Also I decided to give lily's dark side a voice!


Lily's POV

"Hey Jak, Dax, Lil'" Torn said from his table.

"Hmm?" I looked over, still groggy from sleep, unlike Jak and Daxter, who's heads snapped to attention.

"You two are free from missions today, and I don't want to be bothered by any of you, so you three go see Krew. That should keep you busy and out of my hair." Torn stated.

"Awww," I cried. "You don't like our company?"

"No, I don't. Now get!" Torn yelled.

I was seething.

On the outside, I was a bored looking teen, but on the inside, I was fucking pissed! Krew was being a slime ball, as usual, and attempted to seduce me! Uck! To bad for him, Jak got pissed and dragged me out of there. Apparently, Krew said that somebody was looking for a racer, and Jak, most definitely, fit the bill, what with his driving and all. Speaking of that . . .

"JAAAAAAAAKKKKKKK! ! !" Daxter yelled from his spot on Jak's shoulder.

I laughed at him as I clung to Jak. He liked driving oneseater zoomers cause the were faster than two seaters. This left me hanging on to Jak for dear life so I wouldn't fall. I didn't really mind it.

Course ya don't.

Go away, Shadow!

I wish I could, yet I'm stuck with you! At least his dark sides sexy.

Oh dear Precursers! Shut UP!

Shadow chuckled as she withdrew herself to the depths of my mind. I hopped off the zoomer as we pulled up to the stadium, and followed Jak as he walked into the mechanics quarters, where he started to talk to the girl mechanic behind the curtain.

The two of them began talking as I inched towards the curtain, curious about what was behind it. My hand reached for the curtain as I heard "It's a secret!"

Well that ruined my fun. If it was a secret, I wouldn't pry, and she sounded worried when Jak asked about it. I respect secrets, after all I got a pretty damn big one. . .

I think.

"Come Lily, let's go hoverboard," Daxter called. Jak was staring at the curtain stupidly, and jumped when I put my hand on his shoulder. His eye's looked at me strangely and behind them I saw Dark. He was arguing with him again.

'You okay?' I whispered as quiet as the wind.

'Yes' was his reply.

I nodded my head, following him out of the room, to the hoverboard course.

A couple hours later, Jak, Dax and I headed out, away from the stadium, and to the apartment room that Torn gave to us. Torn rented us it because he was worried that one of us would go dark in our sleep and attack someone. It almost happened once already, when I went dark, but Jak calmed me down before anything happened.

When we reached our room, I headed off to the shower and got undressed. I took a long hot shower, washing away all the sweat and grime of the day. After I was done washing up, I wrapped a towel around me and left the bathroom. Then I hit a solid wall of blue.

At least I kept my towel wrapped around me.

"Ah! Uh, Lily, umm, sorry," Jak stuttered out, looking in another direction.

"It's okay, I'm fine!" I said, closing my eyes and hoping Jak didn't see my blushing face.

"Uh, I need a shower," Jak said, inching pass me.

"Sure thing!" I said. "I'll just go put on some clothes . . ."

That's when I raced to my room, fell on my bed, and screamed into my pillow. After I was done, I actually put on my clothes, which were the blue girl boxers Tess got me, and a clean white tank top. After I got comfy, I went to go make some dinner for Jak and Daxter. Earlier, I had gone shopping for food, and I had all the ingredients to make lasagna. I turned up the radio as I was cooking, and one of my favorite songs came on. Right after the intro, I started singing along.

"I can't escape this Hell."

I began to sway my hips in beat with the rock song.

"So many times I've tried,

But I'm still caged inside."

Now, I was dancing with a spatula in my hand, and my eyes shut.

"Somebody get me through this nightmare!

I can't control myself,

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become.

Help me believe, it's not the real me,

Somebody help me tame this animal!

this animal, this animal,"

I heard a door open and close, but I was too far gone in the music to care.

"I can't escape myself.

So many times I've lied,

But there's still rage inside"

I heard Jak begin to sing, his baritone voice mixing with my own alto.

"Somebody get me through this nightmare!

I can't control myself,

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become.

Help me believe it's not the real me,

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!

Help me believe its not the real me

somebody help me tame this animal"

Jak slipped behind me, deftly taking my spoon, and twirling me in a circle, before he grabbed my hips and started swaying along with the song.

"Somebody get me through this nightmare!

I can't control myself,

Somebody wake me from this nightmare!"
I opened my deep gray eyes, that locked onto the darkened blue eyes of the one holding me close.

"I can't escape this hell!
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)"

The two of us sang, alternating which one of us were to sing. (I dont like how that sounds, basically lily sings this animal and then jak sings, got it!)
"So what if you can see the darkest side of me?"

Jak sang, his eyes asking me that very question.
"No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me"

I stared into his eye's, my own saying, 'it's not you, and your darkness, I have it to, don't ever forget that'
"Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!
Help me believe it's not the real me,
Somebody help me tame this animal!
(This animal I have become)"

I sang back, completing the song, asking him back, without using words, ' Will you be my partner on this road of darkness that we have been forced to follow?'

Jak gave me an almost imperceptible nod.

"YO LIL'! Whatcha makin that smells so good?" Dax yelled, walking onto the scene. He looked very surprised, for some odd reason.

Wait . . .

Then it hit me like a bolt of light eco.

Jak was holding me flush against his chest, and I had my arms wrapped around his neck. It almost was like we were about to kiss

That's when my cheeks started to catch fire. At the same time Jak's arms unwound from my waist, I removed my arms from his neck

"Oh! Um, lasagna! Yeah, I need to get that out of the oven before it burns!" I said, smiling at the orange ottsel awkwardly, while reaching for the really hot pan.

"OW!" I yelled, my hand quickly turning red from the burn. In an instant Jak was by my side looking at my fingers with his serious face. He inspected my fingers for a bit before leaving for the bathroom , and getting the first-aid kit, that Tess made sure to buy for us. He then grabbed the band-aids and burn ointment. He came back to me and started applying the burn medicine to my fingers, while I hummed in happiness, feeling the cool feeling take the place of the pain. Jak heard me, and smiled lightly as he placed the band-aids on my fingers.

Oh so quietly, I heard him say, 'Stop hurting yourself, it freaks me out every time you scream.'

'How do you think I feel every time you go out on a mission? While my screams accompanied you in that cell, I was left in silence, to wonder if you would ever come back.'

Jak sighed at me and went off to mope in his room, while I put on an oven mit, and grabbed my lasagna out of the oven.

"So, what was that all about? Ya know, before I interrupted ya 'moment'," Daxter said.

I jumped at the sound of his voice. "Oh that?" Now that Jak left, I felt more composed. "We were just dancing to a song on the radio. Now go get Jak and tell him to stop moping in his room and come eat!"

"I wasn't 'moping'," Jak said from his spot against the door frame. He walked over to the table and sat down.

"Mhmm, sure," I said, dishing up the lasagna. I sat down and began to eat my lasagna, but before I could take a bite, Daxter opened his big fat mouth.

"Wait! Shouldn't we say grace?" he said. Jak and I just stared at him.

"Uh, Dax? We don't believe in precursors any more," Jak said.

"Yeah, we got our reasons for it to," I added. Then I turned back to my food and began to eat my lasagna.

Apparently, I was a really good cook. Jak and Dax, completely ate all the lasagna I made! I made that tonight so that we could eat left overs tomorrow.

Wow, I feel so maternal right now.

Eww.

I smiled at the thought, and laid down on my pillow, shuting my eyes, and trying to fall asleep. It was no use. I growled and sat up, fully aware that without Jak, I wouldn't get a wink of sleep tonight. So, I did the logical thing.

I went to Jak's room.

Daxter was asleep on the couch in the living room, so as I passed him turned off the TV, and quietly opened up Jak's door. Jak was on his bed, with his arm thrown over his eyes. I smiled slightly as walked to the side of the bed. I reached out my hand to stroke Jak's blond hair, but was stopped. I never even saw his hand move, but it had me now. In a flurry of movement, Jak had pulled me under the covers and wound his arms around my middle. My back was against his stomach, and his head was in the crook of my neck.

"Mine." was all I heard.

"Dark, was that necessary?" I asked, turning my head to see Dark Jak.

Jak's once blue eyes, now black, locked on to mine, and I watched as his lips moved to form a smirk.

Mmm, delicous, those lips.

I don't need anything from you right now!

I'm only saying what we're thinking.

Well I don't care! Even if it's the tru- I'm getting reverse psychology here.

Shadow just laughed, and fell back asleep. Awesome.

"Lily?"

My eyes moved from Jak's moving lips to his eyes. They had returned to their normal deep, tortured, blue.

"I'm sorry Jak, I couldn't sleep in my own room. It's too quiet and . . . empty," I said, looking into his eyes, finding solstice in them.

"That's okay, couldn't really sleep either," Jak relpied, still not letting go of me. I didn't mind it at all. Turned my head to face the wall once more, snuggling deeper into Jak's chest. I felt Jak put his head back in the crook of my neck, and then he sighed happily.

This was the time when I felt happiest. When Jak and I were safe, wrapped in each others arms, and out of the reach of Baron Praxis.

I too, am happy. We have two beautiful beings beside us.
I'm glad you agree, Shadow.

3rd person POV

"Mornin love birds!" Daxter called, strolling into the room. He froze two steps into the room. A pair of black eyes glared at him, and over her shoulder, another pair of black eyes bored holes into the little orange creature's skull.

"Get out."

Daxter turned and all but ran away from the two dark elves.

"Hello Shadow, it's been awhile, hasn't it?" Dark Jak asked, looking at the black haired, and as he called her, vixen. Lily was the kit.

"It has, hasn't it Dark? Are you and your host getting along?" Shadow replied, turning to face Dark. When Lily changed into Shadow, her nails and hair turned black, and a black sundress adorned her skinny frame. She didn't get any stronger physically, instead she could channel and control her dark eco, manipulating it every which way.

"Of course! After all, he's not dead is he?" Dark said, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Anyway, my little Vixen, what is it you talk about with your host?"

"Probably the same thing you talk to yours about."
"Stupid Elves."
Dark concluded, nibbling on Shadows neck.

Shadow nodded her head in agreement.

"We should leave them with a surprise," Dark said, a mischievous smirk crossing his face.

An identical smirk slipped onto Shadows pale, thin, face.

The two leaned closer to each other, and brushed their lips together. With a spark of dark eco, the two dark elves retreated into their hosts.

Then their hosts awoke.

Still lip-locked.

For a couple minutes, the two stayed like that, stunned.

Lily figured it out first, squeaked, and in minutes she ran to her room. Jak just stayed there, lost and confused.

In Lily's room, she sat against her door, her fingers pressed against her lips.

"What . . . What just happened?"

Jak laid on his back on his bed, staring at the ceiling. His own fingers drifted to his lips.

"So soft . . ."

"YO! JAK, LIL! IF YOU TWO AIN'T DARK STILL, COME EAT LUNCH!" Daxter yelled at the two teens hiding in their rooms. Both teens were equally startled by the fact that it was twelve.

They walked slowly leaving their rooms.

"Good, now come eat," Daxter ordered.

"Yes mother squirrel," Lily said. Behind her was a smirking Jak. Jak then frowned, his brow furrowed.

"Lily?" Jak asked.

"Yeah?" Lily replied, turning to face Jak.

"Come with me."

Jak grabbed Lily, pulling her behind her to the bathroom.

"Hey! Your guys foods gonna get cold! Ah, they're gone," Daxter sighed.

Meanwhile, Jak put Lily on the counter in the bathroom and pulled her shirt off to the side. Lily, knew that something was wrong, and judging by his worried face, it had happened to her. So, she sat still, waiting for Jak to complete his analysis of her wound. Jak, however, was moving as fast as possible, trying to figure out what happened, and how it happened.

Because, on Lily's neck, were teeth mark, and they were bleeding.

"Lily. What happened? ! Where did these bite marks come from?" Jak said, struggling to keep his voice even.

"Hmm? What bite marks?" Lily said, trying to see them. Jak reached behind her head, grabbing the first aid kit once again. He reached inside it and pulled out the antiseptic, and band-aids.

"If you keep getting hurt like this, we're gonna have to get more band-aids," Jak said quietly, watching as Lily's shoulders rose and fell with silent chuckles. As he applied the medicine, Lily jumped.
'Ow!' she murmured. Jak, without thinking, gently kissed her wound. He was surprised with himself, but since Lily didn't notice, he continued tending her wound. When he went to put on a band-aid though, it disintegrated against her skin.

"Lily? Whats it mean if a band-aid disintegrates against skin?"

"Oh, that means your wound is infected with dark eco. Why? Did it just . . . Jak- !"

Lily's intercom went off twice, signaling an important call, and cutting through Lily's sentence.

"I need the three of you to come and spend the night at head quarters! I gotta feeling something bad's coming," Torn stated.

"We're on our way." Lily said without hesitation. "Jak, don't worry about it! It's my own dark eco doing that. Now time to go!"

Jak nodded and Lily ran behind him out of the bathroom into her room, changing into different clothes. Jak grabbed Daxter, and the trio left their apartment, blissfully unaware of the horror's that were to come.

Chapter 7 preview

"Up against the wall! Now!"

Lily and Jak jerked up as they heard these words. On instinct the two of them backed up against the wall and put their hands up.

"Good. The freaks are as well trained as ever, even if they are less aware than before," Erol said as he strode in front of the line of Krimzon Guards. The teens up against the wall narrowed their eyes and reached for their guns.
