I am Jude

{Ivy}

The day I found out Jude had been raped by Lexi, I walked in on it. I heard Jude being terrified in his thoughts and I was trying to figure out why. He kept thinking 'this is not happening' over and over again. I heard his thoughts when I rounded the corner to his room. When I opened the door I saw it. Lexi was on top of Jude and it looked like there was a struggle between them. I could sense from Jude's magic that he was terrified. At the same time, Jude fighting to get away from Lexi and Lexi was not having it. Lexi had Jude gagged and it looked like she was trying to keep him from breathing.

When I saw this I was livid and shaking because of anger. I screamed at Lexi, "Lexi what the hell are you doing to my husband!"

Lexi turned around and had the nerve to give me an angry look. She said, "You said sex makes Prince Jude calm, I was doing what you told me to!"

"Excuse me?" I roared at her. "I didn't say rape him or guilt him into doing it!"

"I didn't rape him!" Lexi exclaimed.

"Oh really?" I roared. "Then why do you have Jude gagged, why are you strangling him and why does he look like he's fighting you? He clearly doesn't want this so why are you continuing to do it?"

"I figured if Prince Jude was knocked out he wouldn't fight me so much," Lexi answered. "You said-"

"I didn't tell you to do this and you know it!" I snapped. "You should have enough common sense to know if someone doesn't want to sex and you do it anyway it's rape. Honestly, I didn't think you wouldn't have common sense! You are a servant and you don't have rights to a person of royalty if they don't want you. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you took advantage of the fact that Jude would never lay a hand on a woman even if it is in self defense! I know that and there's no way I would overstep my bounds on it.

"Although I have to admit I did take advantage of the fact that Jude won't say no to me because I'm his wife. I realized I was wrong and have since then made amends with him. But you've taken this way too far!"

I gripped Lexi in my magic and held her still. I called outside the room for a Guard to come. The Guard arrested Lexi and took her away.

I was in tears when I untied Jude and examined his injuries. He had marks around his neck from where Lexi had strangled him. He had bruises around his pelvic area and a forced magic signature that's a tell tale sign someone's been raped in Equestria. I could tell by the look on Jude's face that he was trying so hard not to cry. So I held him in my arms for the rest of the day and I didn't want to let go of him. All I wanted to do was comfort him and he clung to me for dear life and wouldn't let go of me.

Ever since then, me, Eli and Milo have been more overprotective of Jude although we can't hover over him all the time. If we did, it would make him feel like less of a man. But it's comforting to know that every time Jude even looks at Lexi he goes on a demon rampage in self defense. It also seems that Jude just wants to be held and comforted. I haven't heard a single thought in his head where he feels shame because of being raped. If anything I hear in his thoughts anger which in my mind that's exactly how he should feel.

Why Jude doesn't want to charge Lexi with a crime is still puzzling to me. I can only assume it's because of the executions that he had to carry out back at AI. In Equestria if someone does this type of assault especially on a person of royalty, Lexi could be executed for it. Jude doesn't want anyone else to be killed. He feels that if he charged Lexi with a crime and she was killed it would be his fault.

Me along with the rest of the royal family including Rainbow Dash say that if a person has committed a crime against you then they must be held accountable for it. If Lexi is killed because of her crime, then in that scenario it's her fault she got killed. The reason why Jude had to carry out those executions back AI is most of the time, the people that were killed were criminals.

I know for a fact that Jude doesn't want to be known as The Boy Prince Jude but he should know that's never going to happen. Everyone in Equestria and around the castle loves and respects Jude as Prince Jude and nothing less. Even now that this has happened I tried to keep this a secret because Jude told me to but it was hard for Eli and Milo once they found out what happened. They found out by looking at Jude's injuries one night when Jude didn't want to have sex.

Now they along with me feel guilty about Lexi raping Jude because we feel it's our fault. Now even though Eli, Milo and I want to protect Jude as much as possible, everyone around the castle, especially Rainbow Dash, has been keeping a watchful eye on Jude wherever he goes. That at least gives me some sort of comfort.

Today I'm sitting at the edge of Jude's bed just talking to him about nothing in particular. I could tell that Jude didn't want to talk about what happened to him and I don't push him when he doesn't. Today I was trying my hardest to keep my thoughts happy for him. He needs to have happy thoughts because he hasn't really had those in a while.

Jude laughed. "Sunshine and rainbows, really Ivy?"

"What?" I said. "I'm just trying to think positive! It's just hard, that's all."

Jude sighed. "I know. I just don't want to think about it. As long as I'm not thinking about it, I'm okay. You know something, instead of training with weapons and stuff like that with dad, Dad has been teleporting with me to different places around the castle just for fun. Color Rains wants to go play teleportation hide and go seek with me again. She said she can sense that I'm feeling down about something and she just wants me to have fun."

I chuckled, "Awww, that's cute! Your little sister is concerned about her big brother Jude, even though she doesn't know what's going on."

"Yeah I know," said Jude, "you what's funny?"

"What?" I said.

"When Mom was pregnant back at AI and doing those out of control partial sonic rainbooms, I was very overprotective of her. It seems she's returning the favor now," Jude smiled.

"Yeah," I said, "but she was a danger to herself more than being a danger to AI which is probably why AI didn't view her as a threat at the time. Especially when she kept chomping down on Eli's attacks and declaring herself Rainbow Dash!"

Jude snorted. "No Kidding! I'm Rainbow Dash and don't you forget it! I love Eli's response to that."

I laughed, "Yup! I'm surprised the Elements of Harmony didn't create a seventh element! The Element of Stupidity made just for you Rainbow Dash! You chomped down on my attack not knowing if it could kill you or not! Good job, Loyalty!"

"Yup, it's still funny!" Jude laughed. "I just about fell out of my chair. I was laughing so hard from watching the video footage of the fight!"

"Yeah it was funny when Rainbow Dash did her first actual sonic rainboom and Eli was like 'gee Loyalty! I didn't know you could fart the rainbow!' Leave it up Eli to make a cheesy joke like that," I said. "The funny thing is, Rainbow Dash hated it when Eli called her Loyalty all the time and now Rainbow Dash is The Princess of Loyalty."

"No kidding," Jude said. "Thinking about stuff like this is a lot better than thinking about sunshine and rainbows all the time."

I snorted. Then I thought about the funny tricks that Discord would do for his magic shows. I also thought about getting Eli to put a rooster in Jude's bed and dump a bucket of water on Jude's head just for the fun of it. Honestly, seeing Discord do something funny would be better.

"Yeah, I think Eli wants to reserve the bucket of water prank for Mom," Jude laughed. "Although Eli hasn't done that with her lately. Probably he doesn't want to deal with Dad and Color Rain afterwards."

"No kidding!" I said.

Then we heard Oliver shouting, "Color Rain, get back here!"

"Jude," said Color Rain, "Dad no!"

Oliver groaned, "Seriously, I know Jude is your favorite word and all but you can start a sentence with something other than Jude more? It's getting on my nerves!"

"No." Color Rain said. "Come on, Flurry Heart! Come and get me!"

Flurry Heart begged, "Please Color Rain, take a nap already!"

"Jude," said Color Rain, "I'm not stopping!"

Jude and I laughed because we heard Color Rain blow several raspberries and we assumed that she was blowing them at Oliver and Flurry Heart. But I found it funny because it was getting on my nerves that Leo would say the word Mommy and blow a raspberry afterwards. Leo also does that when says Color Rain's name.

Jude started laughing because I knew he was laughing about what I was thinking about. "You're still upset about that Ivy?"

"No," I growled. "I'm annoyed by it. I wonder if Color Rain knows about that?"

Jude shook his head, "I doubt that. Color Rain is too young to understand that. Since Leo's thinking capabilities aren't fully developed yet, I can't hear what he's thinking."

I felt amazed by this statement, "Huh. Interesting. You can hear everyone's thoughts around you but not a baby's thoughts."

Jude smiled. "Yeah I know."

Jude then reached over and kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back. The next thing I knew we were making out and Jude took my clothes off and I returned the favor by taking off his. I got underneath the covers with him and we were just kissing each other. I could tell by Jude's thoughts that he didn't want sex at the moment so I didn't push it. Jude stopped kissing me and just held me in his arms.

I didn't want to leave him or move an inch. It seemed that the way Jude was holding me, he didn't want me to move either. That was fine by me, if Jude wanted to be held I didn't mind him holding me.

The next day I talked to Ivy about Noah, I had lowered the moon and Milo had raised the sun. Ivy seemed shocked but at the same time hopeful that Noah was here to help get Logan out of Jude. Jude's in a state of disbelief still, we would have to cast the sleeping spell on him in order to make the job easier in getting Logan out. The only time Noah would strongly advise that Jude acknowledge that Logan's real is to help get him out of Jude. Honestly, I wasn't so sure about that either.

I'd rather cast the sleeping spell on him than lose Jude to that monster. But Noah did reassure me that he had the means necessary to pull Logan out of Jude with the help of my magic. So the chance of Logan being able to take over as long as Noah was there to help Jude out was little to none. Noah also told me that Jude's magic was blocking Logan from appearing to Jude again. So that was comforting to me and everyone else.

"So how and when are we going to do this?" Ivy asked.

"Well the next full moon for the month is next week," I said. "I should have enough magic built up to help get Logan out of Jude finally."

Noah smiled and nodded. "Yup and once that idiot Logan is gone, Jude should be able to control his magic. The bonus to that is, he can never be possessed by any spirit ever again and that includes a god like Logan."

Ivy let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Well that's good to know. Maybe after Jude can get control of his magic and he can finally be happy for a change. I've rarely heard a happy thought in his head lately, especially with what happened with Lexi. I don't know if Jude will step forward and charge her with a crime. He really needs to. If Lexi dies then it's not his fault! Lexi's death will be her fault and her fault alone!"

Noah nodded. "Yup, I agree with on that one Princess-"

Ivy shook her head, "Oh no, just call me Ivy. I'm getting tired of being called Princess Ivy! That's just about as bad as being called Lady Ivy back at AI!"

"Do all the royal family members here feel the way you do?" Noah asked.

I shook my head, "Nope it's just me, my partner Milo, Jude and Ivy, everyone else in the royal family has no problem with it whatsoever. Even Rainbow Dash doesn't have a problem with it, she's used to being called Princess Rainbow Dash now. Of course immediate family members like me, Ivy, Milo and Jude can just call her Rainbow Dash. Although I'm not really Rainbow Dash's brother by blood, Rainbow Dash still considers me to be her brother."

"Aww, that's cute!" The bird named Raven that was sitting on Noah's shoulder said.

Ivy and I jumped a foot in the air when Raven spoke. Raven laughed, "Yeah, yeah I know, everyone's always surprised the first time I speak."

The Crow named Crow sitting on Noah's other shoulder laughed. "Yeah, it's the same thing with me!"

"Yeah," I said, "last time I checked, birds don't talk. But this is Equestria so a bird talking could happen."

"Okay," Ivy said. "So what happens next?"

"We have to get Jude to the exorcism table and we'll have to tie him down in case he decides to fight us," I said. "He won't be able to go on a demon rampage when he's tied down to the table because the table will have connected with his powers. Once the table connects to his powers the table will hold him down just by doing that. But if you ask me, I'd rather keep Jude tied down for the whole thing. The thing I am most worried about is Samantha did say that there would be a faceoff between Jude and Logan. For what reason, I have no idea."

"It's going to happen because when a spirit is close to being pulled out of someone," said Noah. "There's always a final fight with that spirit. It's one final push to get that spirit out. Once the spirit is starting to get pushed out, that's when the person possessed starts to fight for their life."

"So does that spirit take over if the person loses the fight?" I asked.

"It depends on how far gone that person is," Noah said. "What I mean by that, is how far along the spirit possession is with regards to taking over. If the possession is in the final stage where the person being possessed is practically gone, then the fight will be lost.

"It's possible that since Jude is still in a state of disbelief and Logan possessing him is only at the second stage of it, I doubt Jude will lose that fight. If anything Jude will become pissed off to try and kill Logan himself. Honestly, I'm surprised Jude's magic hasn't killed Logan already. As I said before, Odar does think that it would be best for Logan to die. But at this point, I doubt that's going to happen."

I smiled when I heard this information, "So if we continue to keep Jude in a state of disbelief that should hold off Logan until the next full moon!"

"Exactly what day of the week is the full moon?" Noah asked.

"Monday," I answered.

"Monday huh?" Noah said. "So that means the full moon is four days away if you count today, which is Thursday."

"I was wondering, why would a god feel the need to possess someone?" I asked.

"If you ask me," said Noah, "those types are insecure gods. Most of the time everywhere they're accepted for who they are. So you can come as you are basically. Even if you're not accepted, you're probably just going to get some weird looks at most. Since Logan is a god of mischief, a trickster god he can change his shape at will. He doesn't need someone else's body to do that. He's insecure and for some reason wants to change the way he originally looks. Probably because his original look scares people and they think he's the devil. Instead of winning people over by showing them he's not bad, he decides to wear someone else's skin."

"Wow," I chuckled, "a god that's not comfortable in his own skin. Don't see that everyday!"

Noah nodded. Now that I know there's a great chance that we can get Logan out of Jude and I won't lose him to that monster, it brought comfort to me.
