"Jeanie?" Jake blinked twice, unable to fathom how the weak fairy was still alive and unharmed to boot.

Scratching her head haggardly, the fairy froze when she heard his voice, a shudder of utter terror making her shake all over. Slowly turning her head toward the owner of that booming voice she swallowed loudly and stuttered,

Seeing that Jake was the one she remembered, Jenny immediately burst into tears and threw herself onto his face, blocking his breathing momentarily.
