"The boys that beat me up are in the cafe right now, and I really don't want to cause trouble." She murmured, embarrassed that she had to hide.

A small flame appeared in Neil's hand and he showed it to jessebelle. "Should I get revenge for you, mistress?" He asked, looking over at the boys.

"As much as I would like that, we can't. It would draw attention to us." Jessebelle sighed. "But, If they come any nearer then I will take care of them...."

"Memory erasing is one of my many abilities, mistress. But oh well, we will remain passive." Neil said, a smile creeping across his face. Erasing memories and recreating them to hide evidence was one of his favorite parts of the job.

"Thank you, maybe they won't notice us at all." She muttered, speaking a little too soon. No more than a minute later one of the older boys glanced in Jessebelle's direction, his face lighting up with joy. Nudging his friends, they started to walk to their table.
"Shit...."

Neil put his hand under the table and the flame started to gain size when they moved toward the table. Seeing no reason to duck anymore he sat upright and tried to act natural, but didn't say anything and kept his hood up.

Getting anxious, Jessebelle didn't notice as she did her own magic. The lights dimmed with each step the boys took towards them until the whole place was pitch black, everybody screaming because of the sudden "blackout." Gripping her hands into fists, five male screams roared over the rest.
As sudden as they went out, the lights came back on revealing the five boys laying in a small puddle of blood by the counter.
With a gasp, Jessebelle shot up from her seat and over to the boys. Checking their pulses, she confirmed that they were alright. "I thought you said you weren't going to do anything!" She urgently whispered to Neil when she reached the table again.

Neil walked over to them and used his magic to dim the lights a second time. "Forgive me for making accusations mistress, but I think you might've done that. I was preparing a fireball to hit them with, not whatever happened here." He said as he used his magic to heal them, feeling himself get tired and hungry. He had now done magic two days in a row without food or proper rest, which was a definite no no. If he didn't want to pass out or worse he would have to get some food after this.

"For reals? I can go magic?" She stared at him open-mouthed and unbelieving, wondering if he was pulling her leg. "How am I able to do Magic?"

"Your father is able to do magic so it only makes sense you would be able to use it." He said as he finished the healing. Once that was done, Neil stood up but didn't turn the lights on yet. Luckily it was cloudy outside and early in the morning so it was kind of hard to see even after ones eyes adjusted. But Neil had gotten so used to being stuck In thd darkness he found it second nature to see in it. "Mistress, please wear my jacket for a moment. I made it immune to most magic so it should block what I'm about to do." He said as be took off his jacket and handed it to her.

"Ah, makes sense." Jessebelle commented, reaching her hand out in the pitch black darkness to try to find where Neil's jacket was. Finally finding it, she threw it over her shoulders, a littler warmer than she was a couple seconds ago. "What are you going to do?" She asked, anxious to get out of the Starbucks.

"Replace some memories. After I'm done here they'll think that there was a minor shockwaves that went through this area." Neil said as he began to concentrate. Purple mist flowed from the boys fingertips and hung in the air of the Starbucks, entering the lungs of everyone except himself and jessebelle. "There. Now that that's done, we need to leave so I can turn the lights back on." Neil said, picking her up off of the floor and walking out. "Illuminate." He whispered once they were out of the door. The lights turned on the minute the word was uttered. "There. At least those guys aren't around out here to bug us. Unless there's more of them." Be breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ok." She commented simply, watching him do the complex magic. Well, it looked complex to her. Squealing a bit when he lifted her off the floor, Jessebelle clung to Neil's neck, afraid that he was going to drop her. "Yeah, that was the whole crew.... Can we go to the amusement park now?"

Neil nodded a yes. "Just tell me where I'm going, mistress." He said, willing to carry her there.

"Ok, first you put me down." She giggled, squirming a bit in his arms. They were getting stares from bystanders on the sidewalk and it was making her uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than when people stared at her eyes and the tattoo on the side of her face.

"Oh, sorry ma'am." He said, blushing as he put her down. "Sorry I forgot it probably wouldn't be normal for me to carry you like that."

"It's ok, I didn't expect you to know everything." She said with a wink, taking off down the sidewalk. "Hurry up slow poke!" She called over her shoulder, turning a corner onto another street.

Neil ran after Herr as fast as he could, making sure to keep his hood up so no one could see his face. They hadn't started healing his body yet so he still had the stitches and everything. "Mistress, I am afraid I cannot ride anything with you due to my injuries."

"Oops, forgot about that small detail. But going on the small rides shouldn't bother your injuries that much." She continued to jog towards the amusement park that was now visible down the street, looking over her shoulder every couple of seconds to see how Neil was holding up.

"No I meant my hood might fly off of my head, mistress." He said as he caught up with her, jogging along her side.
