Ellie continued to cry. She held on tighter to Xander. "I just can't control it everything hurts. I wish it would just go away." Ellie said gripping onto Xander.

Let me help her! I can make it go away, and you know it. Don't you want to help her? Evie winced. She did want to help Ellie, but not in the way that Jocelyn was thinking. No. Stop. I'm not letting you out, so stop trying! Oh, my sweet, dearest Evangeline. You know I will never stop.

"W-What d…do you mean," Ellie stuttered through her tears

"I know, I know… pushing your limits sucks. I've been there. It's even worse when you still feel like you have little control," Xander replied.
The shadows around him began to shift, just slightly.

Evie shuddered at Xander's words. She knew it to be too true. Evie, the dark voice purred in her mind. Please let me out. I only want to have some fun. You know I'm not going to let you do that.

"Xander…. Can you take powers away," Ellie said through tears.

Xander shook his head.
"It's probably better that no one can. There'd be a power imbalance. And someone would've stripped me of my powers the moment I was born. I know that for a fact."

"Ok… I never knew what my power was so I never got to train it and it's really hard," Ellie said generally getting stronger.

She's gaining strength. Please, before it's too late! No! Evie struggled to hold back Jocelyn.

"Yeah, it's hard," Xander agreed, "Some powers are harder to control than others too. Yours could be more difficult, but I have no way of knowing for sure what you feel."
He glanced back to Evie for a second and tilted his head at her in question.

Evie's expression showed her pain. Please! You're weak – I am strong! Jocelyn, no!

"I wish I didn't know I had powers. I wish I didn't have powers and this pain," Ellie said hugging Xander tightly.

Evie gritted her teeth. She looked at Ellie and Xander pleadingly. Help.

Xander felt Ellie's grip tighten.
"Yeah… that's how most people feel at first, but it gets better I prom- H-hey, Evie! Are you okay?"
His gaze lifted back up to Evie again.

The shy girl shook her head quickly, unable to speak. Jocelyn stop it please!

"You're not okay?"
Xander gently nudged Ellie away from him, out of the hug, and he came up to Evie and placed a hand on her shoulder. His shadow still sat by Ellie.

Ellie let go of Xander once her called to Evie. "Who's Jocelyn," Ellie asked Evie from the distance. After she asked that she gripped her forehead. "Crap, I used my powers." Ellie winced in pain.

Ellie pushed through the pain of using her powers and overheard Jocelyn yelling at Evie. She heard Jocelyn say she could help Ellie. "She can help me?" Ellie asked Evie standing up from the tree and walking to Evie and Xander.

Xander stood directly between Evie and Ellie. Something felt off.
His shadow moved back over behind him, where it belonged.
"Who? What? Evie already helped you some, she seems to be… What's happening?"
Xander's words were all jumbled, perfectly reflecting his state of mind.

"Someone named Jocelyn is telling Evie she can help me," Ellie told Xander

"Stay back," Xander warned, suddenly much more on edge, "There's some weird magic stuff going on here, and I don't like it at all…"
He took his hand off Evie and took one step back.

"But, she can help me," Ellie said walking near Evie.

"This Jocelyn… You can't see her. How do you know she's real and not lying?"
Xander held up a more defensive stance, and a small border of shadow formed on either side of him, creating a slight barrier between Evie and Ellie. He was suddenly worried. Much more than before.

"She's real, She is not lying I can tell," Ellie said sounding hypnotized. She tried to walk towards Evie. She ran into Xander and tripped. She fell on the ground and snapped out of it. "DON'T TRUST HERE," Ellie yelled at Xander

Xander stood his ground.
"I know, I was trying to tell you-"
He bit his lip furiously. There was something going on between their minds, and he couldn't discern what it was.
