Xander stumbled towards the two.
"N-no… no more magic right now, okay? I was hoping you wouldn't go out there and do that…"
He got down on one knee by Ellie, then thanked Evie for helping.

"Ok, n….no mo…re magic. I…I'm sor…ry for be…ing so s-stupid." Ellie stutters through her words very weakly.

"N-n-no, that's not what I… You wouldn't have known. You know nothing about your limits yet," Xander soothed.
He pushed some hair back from his eyes.
"How bad is it?"

"T-Thanks f…or being n-nice t…to m-me…Xan….der. Wh..What do yo….you mean ho..how bad i-is i…it" Ellie asked very weakly.

"You seem to feel bad. How bad? You seem to be plenty alive, but you're… you're hurting, aren't you?"
Xander shifted his weight a little closer to Ellie.

Ellie leaned into Xander from being so weak. "My he..head re….really ba…d and I-It hu…rts t-to mo…move," Ellie stuttered leaning against Xander.

Xander held Ellie close to him so she didn't fall over or anything.
"That's about what I expected, honestly," he replied, "I'm sorry I didn't stop you sooner."

Ellie started crying. "I-I'm so so..sorry," Ellie stuttered through her tears holding onto Xander

"Ah, no, it's okay now. What are you sorry for? I was just worried," Xander replied.
He wiped a tear from Ellie's chin as it rolled down.

Evie watched. She's so weak… you could finished her easily! No, Jocelyn! Just let me have some fun! I said no! She flinched subtly as she battled her alter-ego in her mind.

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
