“I don't know,” Michael said.

“I need to lay down my head is slightly spinning.”

“Okay.” Michael let me lay down and he produced a pillow out of thin air. He put it behind my head. Do you want anything else?”

“Could you get me something to drink?”

“I can do that.” Michael said as he made a tray with at pitcher and glasses on it appear. “Do you like Black Cherry Kool aid?”

“I do actually.”

“Just as a wild guess, do you want a straw for your drink?”

“You are talented aren't you?”

“Well, I'm a mind reader. I at least have to get a little help every once in a while.”

“Another person that can read minds. Just great!”

“You kinda say that as a bad thing.”

“I'm just tired of the mind reading thing.”

“Well, from now on I won't read your mind unless you ask me to.”

“Your so sweet.”

“Umm...do you remember that question I was going to ask you?”

“Yeah, Why?”

“Well, I want to ask it now.”

“Okay then.

“Are you able to sit up?”

“Is that the question?”

“No, sorry, but are you able to sit up so I can ask you?”

“Yes, I think I can.”

“Here let me help you.” Michael grabbed me behind my back and helped me sit up.

“Thank you.”

Michael sat right beside me and he put his arm around my waist to support me.”I...I've been thinkin' about my situation and well I think I am going to change the way I live.”

“And your telling me this, why?”

“We'll my life hasn't been the best since certain events have taken place but over the passed couple of days things have gotten better and I have grown to like you since I've met you.”

“What do you mean like me?”

“Like you...want to be with you like you.” My eyes got wide in disbelief. I couldn't belief what he had just said. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, just a little dizzy...umm are you asking to date me?”

“Oh, I shouldn't have ask until you had gotten better,” Michael said as he got up and helped me lay back down.

I started to protest but I just let him lay me down. “No, it's fine. Are you kidding?”

“If I was well...I don't know. I have grown to like you.” Michael said as he turned his head as if shy. “Well, I know it's been just a few hours but I just have a feeling about you.”

“Well, I'm not really sure. Why not a trial time?”

“Trial time?”

“A time to see if I want to date you or not.”

“Oh, um could I start off the 'trial time' by kissing your hand?”

“I'm gonna just let you do what ever but when I say it's to far it's to far.”

“I understand.” Michael grabbed my hand and he kissed it.

“And your a gentleman too. What next?”

“Well, I will let you lay down and if you wish I will leave so you may rest.”

“Don't leave, just sit by me.”

“Okay.” Michael sat right down next to me.

“You are sweet.”

“Thank you.”

“You are, I mean, my favorite Kool Aid, the pillow, the straw for my drink and a kiss on the hand to boot. I think you'll be a keeper.”

“A keeper?”

“It is something or someone, in this case, that you want to keep or have for a long time.”

“Ahh, I see,” Michael said as he reached his hand over and grabbed my hand.

“Do you turn in to a full demon or something?”

“Well, I don't I just stay as a half-demon or a half-human. Take your pick. The glass half full or the glass half empty.”

“I'll take it half full,” I said smiling.

“Okay, well do you wanna see a glass half full?”

“Huh?”

“Oh, sorry, I meant my half-demon form.”

“Oh. yeah! Sure!”

“Why, don't I make it a surprise for when you are better.”

“Why, I wanna see,” I said whining a little bit. I made a sad face and turned my face towards him.

“Oh, could those eyes get any bigger?”

“Was that a shot?”

“I'm kidding,” Michael said laughing. “Why don't we make a deal?”

“What kind of deal?”

“If I change for you tomorrow. Am I allowed to kiss you?”

“You've already kissed my hand.”

“I meant...well, can I show you.”

“I guess.” Michael closed his eyes and made the couch into a daybed. It was big enough for two people to lay down on. Michael lay down on the daybed and got close to me. He then propped his upper body above me on his hands.

“Could you close your eyes?”

I closed my eyes. After that Michael leaned down and kissed me. My eyes opened wide for a few moments then I closed them again. My mind feel in to a trance for a few seconds. It was if I felt nothing but that. After those few seconds Michael stopped and I opened my eyes.

“Um...Well, how'd I do?”

I couldn't answer I was shocked that he had even kissed me at all.

“Did I kill you?”Michael said as he waved his hand in front of my eyes.

“No, you haven't killed me, I just need to let that sink in.”

A few minutes later Adam and Michael were standing beside me as I prepared for my mind to be erased. I grabbed Adam's hand and he said, “Are you sure you wanna do this?”

“Yes, I want to rid myself of those three forever.”

“Well, am I gonna be in your memory still?” Adam said talking as if I was going into extremely dangerous brain surgery.

“Yes, Adam you will be there. Michael I want you to be in my memories for some reason.”

“Would it be another one of my good qualities or something,” Michael said trying to make me laugh.

I smiled and said, “It could be.”

“Are you ready?” Master Daniel said as he walked up to me.

“Yes sir, I am.”

“Do you want to know something I learned about Bradley and you before I get him away from you forever?”

“If it about the reborn thing why not because I'm just not gonna remember it anyway.”

“Well, he is what he says he his and he was right about you as well.”

“Whoa, hold up! I'm a reborn?” I said jumping from the place I was laying to my feet. Master Daniel nodded.

“Let me remember that but I don't want to remember the part about him.” I said as I laid back down.

“Okay, since you are a former student. Well I'll start. This might hurt just a little bit.” Master Daniel said that as he placed his hands on my head. After he did my eyes shut automatically and all movement but my breathing stopped. A few seconds later a feeling of little lightning bolts hitting my head came to me. Then everything seemed to fade including sound. A minute later I regained contentiousness and I saw Adam and Michael on either side of me.

“How do you feel?” I heard Adam say.

“You don't have to worry, Adam I'm fine. You don't have to worry either Michael.”

“She remembered my name! Yes, she remembered my name!”

“Really cute.”

“Do you remember anyone by the name of Matthew, Joseiff or Bradley.” I looked at Michael as if he had lost his mind.

“The look on her face tells all,” Master Daniel said.

“Adam, lets see how funny this gets. Bring them in,” Michael said.

Adam grinned and left the room.

“Who are 'them' that you speak of?”

“Just wait.”

“Okay. Whatever.”

Adam walked in with these two people I didn't even know.

“Oh, Jenny your in here. Adam said you were,” Matt said as he ran over to hug me.

He hugged me and I pushed him off and said, “Who the hell are you?”

“It's me Matt. Your baby. Oh, is this about earlier? I'm sorry about that I...I don't know what came over me.”

“I still don't know you.”

“Here, let me. Jenny...,” Bradley began to say.

“Who are you?”

“She doesn't want to recognize me either. I bet it's because of her other souls.”

“That's not it,” Michael said.

“Adam what's wrong?” Matt said.

Adam just shrugged his shoulders and said, “She must have 'erased' you from her memory.”

“Good one,” Michael said trying not to burst out laughing.

“Master Daniel, can you get these two away from me. I don't know who these people are.”

“Why don't you try to jog her memory by kissing her, Matt,” Michael said trying to hide his laughter.

“Okay.”After he said that Matt tried to kiss me but I pushed him off and punched him.

“It's gotta be Harpie,” Bradley said quietly.

“She's not possessed. I would know,” Master Daniel said.

“Then what is wrong with her?” Matt said as he tried to hug me again.

“She ask me to erase her memory of you two and your brother Joseiff.”

“No! No! NO!! She can't...she didn't....” Matt said as tears formed in his eyes. Matt fell to his knees and began to cry.

“Why didn't you stop her?” Matt said looking at Adam.

“I am not her mind. I can't tell her what to do.”

“Master Daniel...,” Matt began as he looked to Master Daniel.

“I will deal with you later.”

“What have I done?” Matt said as he doubled over on the ground.

“Michael, You stay with Jenniffer in case she feels faint.”

“Yes sir.”

“Adam lets escort these two to the dinning room. I need to speak with the both of you.”

“No,” Matt crawled over to me and he grabbed my arm. “Jenny, you remember me. Please say you remember me.”

“I don't.”

Adam and Bradley had already left the room. Master Daniel went up to Matt and made him get up, with his mind power, and made Matt leave.

“Please, Jenny!” Matt said as he was forced to walk out of the room.

“What's his problem?”

Michael, Odette and Adam left. Master Daniel turned to me and ask, “Now Jenniffer, what's the matter?”

“I can barely take all this stress any more.”

“You can tell me.”

“Well alot of things have come back to me about two certain people.”

“Who?”

“Bradley and Matt sir.”

“Oh, has something happened between you two?” I nodded as tears began streaming down my face. “Oh, I'm sorry. Why don't you tell me. I can probably help.”

“Okay. Just to let you know a box of tissue might be a good idea.”

“I see.” After he said that a small box of tissue appeared beside me.

“Thank you.”

“Your welcome. Start when ever you choose.”

“Well, everything begins about six years ago with Bradley.”After I said his name my eyes filled with tears and they running down my face like rain. I grabbed a tissue and I continued my tale. “I met him during the last semester of my junior year in high school. I was new at the school and I only had a few friends. It was about a week in to the new semester when I met him, he looked about the same then as he does now. We began talking about the things that we were interested in like certain games, music and stuff like that. We were almost the same with everything. A couple of days after we'd met he ask if I would go out with him. I told him I would give him three days to see if I wanted to or not, it was a kind of trial thing. Do you follow me so far?”

“Yes, I follow.”

“Anyway, we trial dated for about two days then I ask him, 'Did he want his answer early?'. He did and how I told him was by kissing him. He said that he was surprised but glad that I had chosen him as a boyfriend. Then we were like chemistry and math. You couldn't have one with out the other. I always hated leaving him between classes. It was hard but we were strong lovers. I told him I loved him at least four times a day every day. I thought heaven didn't exist until after I'd started dating him. I was always thinking about him nonstop. I would always pray that he would have a great day, that he would sleep well and that I wouldn't ever have to leave him. After about a week of being the happiest I had been in years he said, 'I want to ask you something but I don't think it is the right time to ask.' I told him that he could ask that I might have the same question in mind. He said that he would wait. So, I said it would be fine. That same day before lunch I ask him if he would met me by my locker at lunch.”

Master Daniel nodded. It seemed as if he was very interested with this story and that he wanted to hear more. So I continued, “He met me at my locker, as we had planned, and I hugged him tightly around the neck. I whispered in his ear 'Will you marry me?' He was stund. I was very nervous in asking him because I had a little voice in my head that said he would say no, but I ask him anyway. After I ask he said yes. I was so happy. My heart was in my throught and I was somewhat speechless. He then grabbed me by the hand and said, 'This is unofficial you know that right?'. I just said yes and we went to lunch. We were both, I assumed happy. Then the next day at school I said to him that I would never leave him because I couldn't live with out him. I also said that I would marry him and that after the marriage ceremony he would have me. He would be able to do what ever he chose to do and he could use ropes, chains or what ever he wanted as a restraint on me as well. I don't tell just anyone that. I know you wouldn't tell anyone . Am I right?”

“Yes, that is true. I know there is more so why don't you continue so it will all come out at one time. Humm?”

I nodded and told even more. “I told him that and he seemed just as if he were a small child at the age of about maybe six that had a whole candy mansion to themselves. Then about a week or so after I wrote him a note. Lets see some of the exact words were...until you are back to normal I should stay away...If you are doing this to see if I would stay if anything happened I told you I would because I LOVE YOU Bradley very much and I don't want to loose you in anyway...Yeah, that was it. He took the letter as breaking up with him. When I went up to him to see what was wrong his friend Sara said, 'He thinks you've broken up with him.'. I was surprised at what I had heard. I ask how I could have and he held up I guess what was the letter I wrote him and said, 'This was it.' I felt like I had been stabbed. I told him I didn't. I sat for a few seconds trying to figure out what I was going to say next but before I could say it the bell to go to my next class had rung. After that I went to my class and wrote a note saying that I was sorry if I had misled him and that I was crying over the whole matter. After the class I met him at his bus and I hugged him then I kissed him on the cheek and said in his ear 'I love you and I always will.'. After that he just turned away and got on his bus. I went to my bus and I waited that weekend and hoped that I would be able to be his again. If you add up all the hours I cried that weekend it would have equaled about four maybe even five hours total. During my crying I thought 'what if he doesn't take me back? If he doesn't I'll kill my self'. I stopped my self from death by remembering my best friends that I knew loved me. I went to school that Monday he came up to me gave me a note and gave me my Kingdom Hearts stuff back. I rushed to class and read the note. It was heart break all over again. He said in the note that I had technically broken up with him and that we were supposed to date other people. It was hard for me to get through the rest of the day after that. At lunch that day I gave him a note sayin' meet me where we usually sat and bring everything I gave you. The drawings, the notes, the necklace everything. Bring it tomorrow and I also said that I would give him the break up he wanted.

“Did he do as you ask?”

“Yes, in a way he did. It was the next day before school. I sat at that very same spot and waited for him to come. When he did he put the necklace I gave him on the table and began to leave. I told him that I wasn't done with him just yet. He stopped sat down and gave me a look that said 'what do you want?'. Then he said I need to be somewhere so could you hurry it up. I nodded then I began asking, 'How could I break up with you I had told you I would never leave you because I loved you to much.' I also said, 'How could I leave you when I told you that I would marry you and I even told you that you would have me our wedding night. How could I leave you if I said that?' As I said this he looked up as if trying to find an answer to my questions. All the way through the whole thing I was crying and he never answered me he just shrugged his shoulders. I wanted to ask him some more questions but he just got up and left. I decided I would let him go to where ever he needed to be because I was trying to wipe my eyes from crying. For the next month I was nagging him about giving all my stuff back to me. I got it back little by little but then I just gave up because all that was left was pieces of paper and a CD with pictures and a story I was writing on it. Then a friend of mine gave me a note and said that she wanted me to give it to him. I did and I got a note that said I needed to stop harassing him and that if I didn't that she would kick my ass. I'm sorry sir I was just repeating what was in the note.”

“It is alright. I've heard those words many times from my students. Please continue.”

“Yes sir. I didn't know what else to do so I ask if I could go to the office, in the school, so I could talk to someone. The teacher let me go and I went up to the office and I began talking to my councilor about the whole thing. I showed her the note and she said it was a threat. She ask if he might know who wrote it. I told her that he might. He was called up to the office and the councilor ask him if he'd recognized it. He didn't have a clue who it was. The councilor told him about some things and then ask me in to talk. She explained that what was going on with the note wasn't good and that if we wanted we could talk to each other in private. We agreed and I told him about how an old boyfriend before him that I knew had lied to the police about his adoptive mother and father abusing him and that my mother and step father had been picking on me about certain things. All the way through the conversation I was just crying and getting everything, that had happened over the last few months, off my chest. I was relieved that I was able to tell him how I felt and how I wanted things like they had been. For the next week we were friends again. We ate lunch together and we sat together in the mornings with his other friends. I began to like him again and I told him that.”

“I assume that things didn't turn out.”

“Your right they didn't turn out. Anyway, I told him that I was fighting the urge to call him a lot of things from when we had gone out and I was fighting the urge to kiss him. He didn't react to anything I said to him. Then one morning I was sitting in front of him and this girl and that is when I just had it. The girl sitting close to him said, 'Did you talk to that girl?' He said, yeah calmly. Then the girl ask, 'Are you gonna ask her out?' He said yeah again and it ruined my day. I didn't talk to him or attempt to talk to him until lunch the next day. I went up to him and I tried to think of something to say but nothing came to me. He waited a few moments for me to say something but I couldn't find anything to say. After he waited he went back to reading his book and didn't say a word to me. I had completely enough. I had told him that I still liked him and he didn't care at all. I grabbed a note I had wrote to him and I slammed it on the table and I said, 'I give up!'. I then went and sat with my friends and I hadn't spoken to him for six years. I did make friends with his brother though. His brother is younger than he is. About a year or two younger I think.

“Well, that was quite a story. Now I know why you ask for the restraint. Earlier you said that Matthew had also caused you a bit off grief.”

“He did sir. Earlier today we began to get close and I was able to read his mind. He was wondering if I was worth it since I wouldn't let him go all the way,” After I said 'was worth it' I cried even harder than before.

“Oh, I'm sorry child. Matthew has become undisciplined since he left. I am sorry I must have a talk with him.”

“Master Daniel, sir, I umm...I have a question to ask you.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Can you erase memories?”

“Erase memories?”

“Yes sir. Its because I need something to get rid of these memories of pain for me. I have dealt with them for some time. Can you do it?”

“I usually do this as a last resort but I will 'erase' these memories from your mind. Do you just want to get rid of Bradley and Matthew?” I nodded. Then Master Daniel said, “I warn you after I do this you may feel a bit light headed for a few days but it will wear off.”

“I understand. Could you please...could you get rid of Joseiff too?”

“Why?”

“He has hurt me. To be more to the point sir he raped me and has attempted raping me again.”

“I see. Well, I shall do as you wish. Did you want anyone in here with you?”

“Adam, and Michael.”

“Why Michael?”

“I guess I just want him near. I'm not really sure. I just have a feeling about him.”

“I think I understand. Let me go get Adam and Michael for you and I'll let you get comfortable.”

“Thank you soo much!” I said getting up and hugging him.

“Your welcome, Jenniffer. You can think of anything that you want to maybe lay on and it will appear for you.”

“Could you ask Matt or could you bring Bradley in here after you do this, just to test.” Master Daniel nodded and he left to retrieve the guys.

I ran from the room with my clothes in hand. I just ran any way I could to get away from Matt. I bumped in to Adam but I just kept running. What was I to do. Matt was my whole world and he wanted me for sex. I finally found Master Daniel's garden. I hid in one of the bushes where I redressed my self and wept.

“What did I do to him? I loved him just like I loved that Doofwad, Bradley.”

“Jenny! Jenny, where are you?”I heard Adam yelling.

“I'm here,” I said letting tears fall from my eyes.

“Why are you in here? You were just running like a bat out of hell a minute...oh.” He stopped when he saw that I was crying. “What's the matter?”

“Matt just wanted to go all the way just to see if I was 'worth it'.”

“Oh, I'm sorry. Here dry your eyes.” Adam pulled a tissue from his pocket. I continued to cry as Adam said, “If you want you can tell me the whole story or you can just leave me with that. I'll leave it up to you.”

“He offered me an engagement ring after he thought that.”

“Why did he offer you a ring when he knew that you were not happy with him?”

“I don't know. I never want to see that butt-munch again!”

“Okay. I'll make sure of that.”

“Hey, what's going on?”

“Who are you?”

“I'm Michael. What happened?”

“She just found out that her ex-boyfriend just wanted to see if she was worth going all the way with.”

“Oh, umm....I somewhat knew that this would happen. I got something that might make you feel a little better.” Michael sat down next to me, took out a bag and said, “Here, only take one but be careful not to harm any of them.”

I dried my eyes and I reached my hand into the bag. I pulled out a small, miniature, black, horse with blue eyes. It could fit in the palm of my hand. “It is adorable.”

“It gets better. Put it on the ground and say 'Sethekrd'.”

I did as Michael said and the little horse began prancing around like proud yearling. “Aww, he is so cute. Can I keep him? Please?”

“I got him just for you.”

“Thank you.”

“Don't mention it. Do you feel better?”

“A little. Thank you again. Who are you? I didn't quite catch your name.”

“I'm Michael. I'm an old friend of Master Daniel. Is he around?”

“He's around here some where,” Adam said as he helped me to my feet.

“Oh well, me and my sister Odette wanted to see him,” Michael said getting up. A young woman in a short, white dress came in to view.

“Is everything alright?”

“It is now sis. Sis meet umm... Goodness I forgot your name.”

“Jenniffer.”

“Oh, Jenniffer and Jenniffer meet my sister Odette.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Pleasure to meet you too.”

“My name is Adam,” Adam gently cut in.

“Pleasure to meet you as well.”

“Jenny, do you want me to get rid of butt-munch for you?” Adam said.

“Please. Use all the magic tricks you have to cause him pain.”

“Yes 'am.” I giggled after Adam raised his hand up saluting me.

“Why don't you and Adam go look for Master Daniel. While I continue to cheer up this lovely lady here,” Michael said to Odette as he smiled at me.

“Yeah, why not? I'll be alright,” I said grinning back.

“Okay, Jenny but if you need me you know how to reach me.” Adam pointed to a spot above his ear and I understood perfectly.

“Lets go look for Master Daniel before he gets to old,” Odette said as she looked into Adams eyes. Adam nodded and lead Odette toward the exit of the garden.

“I hope they find him,” Michael said quietly.

“I hope they do too.” I looked down at the little horse on the ground and watched it begin running around my feet.

“We might need to pick him up before he gets stepped on.”

“Yeah, will he get on my hand?”

“Try it.”

I said, “Come here Midnight.,” and I put my hand flat on the ground. The little horse got right onto my hand and I lifted him off the ground.

“Ha, would you look at that?”

“I have to keep him now. He's just to cute.”

“I'm sorry about the ex-boyfriend issue,” Michael said walking me to a bench under a large tree.

“Don't worry about it. He was a total ass and that is all there is to it.” Both of us sat down.

“Could I...umm see what happened?”

“Just make it to where I won't see it.”

“Okay.”

He put his hand to my head and closed his eyes. “Wow, you and love don't seem to get along do you?”

“Yeah, I've had some one think I was a reborn, I had one want me just for sex , and another thought I was to fat for him.”

Michael opened his eyes and said, “You aren't fat to me. In my opinion if you have a little meat on you it's okay. It is more to love.”

“You rarely hear that from any guy.”

“Well I'm not just any guy.”I smiled. The little horse in my hand was trying to jump down from my knee.

“I almost forgot about this little guy here.”

“I'd put him in my pocket if I were you.”

“I'll suffocate him.”

“Just say 'Sethekrd' again.”

I did and the little horse became stiff. “Thanks.”

“Your welcome.”

“Wow, a guy with manners!”

“Doesn't every guy have manners?”

“Unfortunately no.”

“It makes me special I guess.”

“Yeah, it would.”

“Well it's good that I'm special.”

“It is umm...one of your good qualities.”

“Are there any more?”

“Your silly that's for sure and you act...like a gentleman at the same time,” I said as I went from a laugh to a short sigh.

“Thank you,” Michael said smiling.

“You do have a nice smile too,” turning my head slightly to my right and shyly smiling.

“If you would look at me I could tell you a world full of things that are nice about you.” I looked up and I met his eyes. His eyes were a semi-dark brown color that had a slight glitter in them.

“Your eyes are...you have pretty eyes,” I said trying to hide my nervousness.

“Well, I like your icy blue eyes. They have a certain glitter, no no sparkle to them.” I smiled as my cheeks turned a lite color of pink. “Have I embarrassed you?”

“No.”

“You know I like your smile too. I am embarrassing you ain't I? Your cheeks are the color of strawberrys.”

“Are they?” I said putting my hands to my face as if trying to cover up my embarrassment.

Michael laughed a little and said, “Don't worry about it. My sister gets embarrassed all the time so I know how to deal with an embarrassed girl near by.” I got up and started walking away from him. “What's wrong?”

“Nothing I just have a sick feeling in my stomach.”

“I'd better get you somewhere to lay down.”

“I don't need to lay down I just need to talk to Master Daniel.”

“Alright well lets go see if Odette and Adam, is it, has found him.”

“Yes lets.”

“Umm...I was going to ask you something but I'll just wait till your feeling better.”

“Okay.”

Michael put his hand around my waist to support me as we walked. A few minutes later we found Master Daniel talking to Odette and Adam.

“Hello, Michael. Its been a while.”

“It is good to see you but Jenniffer has to talk to you because she doesn't feel well.”

“What's the matter dear?”

“I just need to unload a lot that is on my mind and ask if you could do something.”

“Aah, okay. Odette, Michael, Adam, I will talk with you all later.”

“We understand perfectly sir,” all three of them said together.

“That couldn't have gone any better.”

“The only way it could have gone better is if you could have played Matt sir.”

“Your right, Donte`. I would have made it better. Now we've got to get this fire a little higher.”

“How about we send in a distraction.”

“What do you mean distraction?”

“I mean we send in Michael and Laurntina?”

“Michael can get Jenniffer hooked and Laurntina can distance Matt away from Jenniffer.”

“I follow sir. Do you want me to call them up for you?”

“Why not? I mean after all I need a rest.”

“One minute boss.” Donte` touched the symbol on his wrist. Soon after Michael and Laurntina appeared.

“Yes, Joseiff.” Micheal said.

“Michael, your the only one who can call me that in this group you know.”

“Yes. Now what do you want me and Tina for?”

“I need you and your sister to do some separating for me.”

“Who do you want split, Sir?” Laurntina ask pulling out and changing her hand to a machete.

“Not that type of splitting.”

“You know I'm going to leave an let you discuss this,” Donte said as he walked out. Joseiff nodded.

“I think I get what you mean. If I read you correctly you want us to separate Jenniffer and Matt right.”

“You read my mind like my skull was made of transparent paper.”

“You know it is one of my strong points Joseiff.”

“Of course. Now, Laurntina I want you to pull Matt away from Jenniffer. Michael, I want you to sweep Jenniffer off her feet. Make her love you and make her want to die for you. I believe that is also one of your specialties.”

“It is.”

“How about this for Matt sir,” a platinum voice said from behind Joseiff.

“And you are?”

“That's my sister, as Odette.”

“Odette? Who's Odette?”

“One of my famous disguises.”

“Do another one sis. Do another one.”

“Alright. Close your eyes sir.”

“Why?”

“It will ruin the surprise.”

“Aw, go on Joseiff. What would be the worst that can happen?”

“Fine.” Joseiff said closing his eyes.

“She could turn into my mother,” Chrystal's voice said from in front of Joseiff.

Joseiff opened his eyes, “Chrystal?”

“No, it's still me Tina just as your girl.”

“Your joking!”

“If I was joking, lightning would have struck me by now.”

“Well that is enough. Sis we've got a job to do.”

“Did I tell you that you can go somewhere.”

“I expected that you wanted us to start immediately.”

“Exactly what I wanted. Laurntina could you change back in to your normal self please.”

“That is the first time I've heard that come out of you,” Michael said.

“Well right now she's killing me if you know what I mean.”

“A bit to hot for you?”

“Just change back.”

“As you wish, Baby,” Laurntina said mimicking Chrystal's voice perfectly.

“Oh, Laurntina you break my heart.”

“I try not to, sir.”

“And yet you torcher me more. Now get going before I find you a new place to sleep.”

“Yes Joseiff.”

“Before you go make sure you have a gift for Jenniffer she will need it.” Michael nodded and left with his sister.

“What am I going to do with them? Donte`!”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Check up on them and report back to me in about a week, understand?” Donte` nodded then left. “Chrystal, Baby. I need you here for a few moments.”

“What is it honey?”

“I need some comfort, if you get my drift.”

“Sure,” Chrystal said. Then she began kissing Joseiff.

“Baby.”

“Yes.”

“Why don't we go to my room we need to discuss something that you might need to sit down for.”

“Is it going to make me tired?” Chrystal said as she rolled her tongue across her lips.

“No. I have a certain gift for you.”

“Will this gift make me smile?”

“You could say that.”

“Is it large?”

“No, it is small and you can wear it.”

“Oh, tell me. What is it?”

“I'll tell you after we finish talking.”

We entered Matt's old room and we went straight to the bed. I sat down on the right side of the bed and Matt went around and sat on the left. Matt and I scooted closer together to were I could put my head upon his shoulder. I took his hand in mine and I thought, 'This is all I want from a guy. It is the thing that makes me happy.'

'If it makes you so happy I'll sit here until the stars refuse to shine during the night.' I lifted my head and I looked into Matt's eyes. I smile at him at tears began to form in my eyes. 'I love you, Baby.”

“I love you too,” I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. Matt lifted up his hand and wiped the tear from my cheek. Matt then turned his whole body toward me and he motioned for me to do the same. I did as I was instructed. Matt grabbed my chin, lifted my head up until I could look him in the eyes and he kissed me. 'I wish I could stay with you forever.'

'I'll let you if you want.' Soon after Matt began French kissing me. I felt as if nothing could hurt me now.

'What more could I...ask...for...but your...love?'

'Want to get comfortable?'

'Sure...,' I thought breaking off what else I was about to think to Matt. Matt finished kissing me and moved back a little bit so I could lay down on the bed.

“May I, as we call it 'Aqbmuna'?”

“What do you mean 'explore'?”

“Well, umm...let me do it if you don't like it I'll stop, how about that?”

“Okay,” I said a little nervous about what he was going to do. Matt threw his leg over my waist. “That won't work I'm not ready for that.” I said as I got up and moved toward the door.

Matt walked up behind me and said, “I'm not going to do what you think. I am Matt.” I stayed quiet as I could while Matt 'explored'. He first began by moving my hair away from my neck and began kissing my neck ever so gently. I just moved my head to the side and let him work.

Matt stopped and said, “Do you want to lye down again?” I nodded. Matt lead me to the bed and I lay down as if under a spell. After I laid down Matt got onto the bed and put his leg over my middle once more. He then slid his hands behind my back and undid my bra. I didn't stop him I just let him continue further. He then began kissing me. I was just frozen to the spot. Next he took my bra and slung it across the room. Then he slid his hand under my shirt and began creeping his hand up my back making me shiver slightly. We continued to kiss as Matt moved his hand to my front. Matt moved his hand like a spider up my belly to my breast.

“I'm only going to let you go this far,” I said breaking away from his kiss for a moment.

“Aww, no fair,” Matt said before he began French kissing me again.

'If I do it will go a bit farther than I want it to.'

'But, but...'

“No.”I wanted to say yes but I knew that if I went any farther I would be 'adding to the fire' as they say.

'I wish I could go farther,' Matt thought, 'I want to see if she's worth it.'

“What!?! If I'm worth what?”I yell as I throw him off of me. He landed on the floor on the opposite side of the room. “Do I mean anything to you?”

“Baby, you mean the world to me.”

“Then where did that thought come from. If I mean the world to you then prove it!”

“Well, I have something for you.” He pulled out a small box.

“What is that?” I snapped.

“Well...um...,” Matt stuttered. Matt opened to box and two rings sat there. The rings had diamonds placed around the band. “Will you...um...”

“Well, will I what?”I snapped again.

“Will you marry me?”

“Have you lost your mind? You expect me to say yes after you want to see if I am worth anything?”

“No, I just...”

“I don't care what you have you say! I thought you loved me! I did want to marry you but you just wanted me for the sex didn't you! Didn't you?” Tears began to stream down my face as I picked up my clothes and ran out the door.

“Jenny, wait!” Matt sighed. “What have I done?”

I woak up the next morning sniffing the air just as before. I heard Bradley's pulse. Thirst for his blood grabbed me. I jumped for him and the clattering of the chains woak him.

After he saw me he jumped in fear and said, “Holy Shit! Jenniffer!”

“E dumm oui,” I said grinning and struggling to get to him.

“You were right,” he said getting himself as close as he could toward the other wall. “I've gotta get outta here.”

“Ouin Seha!” I screamed as I continued to fight my bonds. Then a thought went through my mind and I when to the chains. I sat there and concentrated on the chains as the deafening sound of Bradley's pulse distracted me. I had released my self and I looked up at Bradley and a blanket of fear covered his face. I lunged and pressed Bradley's arms and legs to the floor.

“Oh, Shit,” he said.

I listened to the pulse and I found a clear beat come from his wrist. “Seha,” I said as I pulled his wrist to my mouth and sunk my teeth in. Bradley screamed in pain but I didn't care, I had the best drink I had ever in my whole life. I continued to drink greedily then I let go of his wrist. I thought I heard something. I looked around but found nothing so I grabbed his arm again and drank once more. I was so happy my insides were about to explode from the excitement and the thrill. A minute later Bradley's body went limp and I finally let him go. I went to the bed where I slept and looked away as my senses returned.

“Daniel, get in here! I might have killed him!” I kept my back to Bradley as Master Daniel came in with Adam and Matt right behind him.

“Oh, boy.”Adam said.

Matt ran over to me as I sank to my knees and began to cry. “Baby, it's okay.

“No it's not!” I said through sobs.

“Adam can you get about a gallon of water in him?” Master Daniel said. Adam nodded and began conjuring water out of thin air.

“Is he going to die?” I ask as Master Daniel waved his hand to conjure up a triangle shaped cushion. He pushed the cushion under Bradley's feet. “Is he going to die?” I ask again.

“If he is as stable as Matt and Adam are he should be fine. However, he will probably be asleep for a couple days.”

“What have I done?” I said as I bowed my head. Matt grabs me and starts to rock me from side to side.

“He's gonna be okay. I'll be able to kick his ass when this is all over,” Matt said trying to comfort me. I just shook my head.

“Just in case get another eight ounces in him.”

“How did you get loose?” Adam questioned.

“I guess I have a sense of what's going on and I'm able to think when this happens. That must be why I'm not chained anymore.”

“It can happen. I thought you would be like Matthew and be...well...wreckless.”

“Where's my necklace?”

“Oh, I've got it,” Matt said pulling it out of his pocket. I snatched it from his hands and put it on quickly.

“What ever happens make sure I never ever take this off. Do you hear me? Matt, do you hear me?”

“Yes, I hear you. Shh, it's okay,” Matt says as I buried my head in Matt's chest and begin crying again.

“This all hurts,” I say sobbing. “Let me lye down. I don't feel so good.”

“Sure Baby.”

“I'm getting light headed.”

“Here you go,” Matt said laying me down on my bed and I began to fade in and out.

“I can barely keep my eyes open.”

“Get me a wet cloth now!” I heard Matt scream. “Come on Baby stay with me.”

“Here you go,” Adam said handing him a piece of his shirt that he had torn off.

Soon everything went black and I couldn't feel anything. Then I felt the wet cloth being gently patted on my face. I was breathing really hard as if I had been in labor.

“Jenny. Come on, Baby.” I felt my feet being raised.

“That... feels...good,” I said in a broken tone.

“Tell me, what's wrong with her!”

“I really don't know,” Daniel answered quickly.

“It's not Joseiff,” I said as I began slowly regaining my strength.

“Then who's doing this?” Matt ask lifting my head slightly. I shook my head in silence and closed my eyes.

“I'm resting my eyes.”

“How many times did you wake her up with magic?” Daniel said.

“About four.”

“That could be the reason or she could be...an empath.”

“I'm not an empath, how could she be one,” Matt said.

“He might know,” Adam said quietly as he looked toward Bradley.

“I'll do some prying to find out what his deal is.”

“No Matthew. Let me. He may fight me even though he is weak. I wouldn't underestimate his powers just yet.”

“Could you get me a drink of water please. My mouth is kind of dry.”

“I don't know how it could,” Adam said then he looked down. “Sorry.”

“It's okay.”

“Here you go,” Master Daniel said quietly.

“Thank you.”

“Your welcome.”

“Jenniffer,” Master Daniel said.

“Sir.”

“Did Bradley ever mention you being an empath when you were dating him?”

“Umm, he did but it was because he thinks I'm a Dark Angel,” Master Daniel nodded.

“Well, I will see if you are a true Dark Angel since I know how to pick out the pretenders and the real thing.

“May I ask what your going to do?”

“I'm going to search your mind and see what I can find.”

“Before you do just let me say that if you find anything that I should know please tell me and if there is anything that is embarrassing could you not say anything about it? Please!”

“I can do that but I can make it to were you can see what I see. If you want.”

“I like that idea, to a point.”

“Will we have to leave or can we stay and talk with Jenny?” Matt said with a pleading look on his face.

“You can go anywhere you want. I just need to know if you want to see what I find in your head.”

“Yes, I do want to see it.”

“Very well. I shall see you all later.”

“Lets go to my old room.” Matt said. “The one I was in when I was normal.”

“Okay. We'll see you later, sir.” Adam, Matt and I exited the room. Matt walked up beside me and grabbed my hand. He startled me when he grabbed my hand and slightly moved his claws.

“Wait a minute.”

“What's the mater?” Adam said.

“You'll see,” I said as I closed my eyes and changed into my half-demon form. After I changed Matt smiled. I returned the smile and thought to Matt, 'Kiss me.'

“With pleasure,” Matt said as he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him. He then kissed me on th lips and I felt as if I had gone to heaven.

“Okay, love birds, why don't I let ya'll go into your room so you can be all lovey-dovey.”

“Fine with me,” I said after Matt let me go.

Matt grinned in agreement and began walking with me toward his old bedroom.

“How long should I give you two?”

We both continued to walk down the hallway and didn't answer him.

“I'll give 'em about two hours.”

“Baby,” I said.

“Yes?”

“You know actually hurting him that way actually feels a little good.”

“What do you mean?”

“He hurt me so bad when things happened between us before that it feels like I have given him a fraction of all the pain he caused me.”

“Am I making up for what he did?”

“You are actually. I've almost forgotten what it means to be in such emotional pain.”

“We're here,” Matt said breathing heavily.

“Umm, Baby, how did we get here so fast?” I said looking around.

“Well, um...can I explain later?”

“You've got some explaining to do too. So, why not?” Matt turned his head toward Adam looking confused. Adam pointed at Bradley and he understood what he meant.

“Before we unfreeze him could we get in to Master Daniel's house first?”

“Yeah,” Matt said as he lead Adam and I, who were carrying Bradley, up the steps to the door of the house.

“He's not very heavy,” Adam said as Matt knocked on the large front door of Master Daniel's house.

“He probably got those fake wings, that he claims to have had six years ago, sawed or ripped off,” I said shifting the weight of Bradley's limp legs from my right shoulder to my left shoulder. “Why's he so limp?”

“I gotta hear both sides of this story,” Adam said loud enough for only me to hear as Master Daniel came through the door ushering us in. “I only froze is brain, lungs and heart. He'll die if we don't hurry.”

“You don't have to explain why your here. Who is this young man?” Master Daniel said as he shut the front door.

“An ex-feonce`. I'll explain later. Could we put him into my old room?”

“Yes, come this way,” Daniel replied as he began walking down the hallway.

“We need it to have two sets of chains.”

“Why two?”

“One for him and one for me?”

“Why for you?”

“So she won't kill him!” Adam said.

“Better make it three,” Matt said.

“Don't tell me that you need to be restrained too?”

“Pretty much.”

“Here is the room.”

“Thank you sir.”

“Place him here,” Daniel said pointing at the spot I was at not even a month earlier.

“Chain 'em up before you defrost him,” I said to Adam. he nodded in understanding as we laid Bradly down.

“Let me get situated first,” I said sitting down and putting my self in a set of chains across from Bradly.

“I gotta go walk. I'll be back,” Matt said forcing himself to leave the room.

“See you later baby,” I called after him as the door slammed.

“He doesn't know much about him and he wants to kill him. What's up with that?” Adam ask as he put his hand into a fist and placed it near his mouth. Then he opened his hand, blew into it lightly and a flame appeared. He blew again and the flame moved like smoke up Bradly's nose.

Bradly soon came to life. “Where am I,” Bradley said looking around. “Why am I...why are you chained up?”

“Well, why don't we leave, Sir,” Adam said leading Master Daniel to the door, “...and why don't we let them discuss matters that don't concern us?”

“Oh,...sure...we'll come back with young Matthew in about an hour.”

“Oh, um tomorrow morning have a necklace waiting but don't interrupt the change,” I said as I grabbed my necklace, pulled it from my neck, and watched it shatter to pieces on the floor. Daniel nodded in understanding and walked out after Adam. The door then disappeared

“Hey! Don't leave I want some answers!”

“Don't bother, they can't hear your whining The room is sound proof.”

“How would you know? Why did you shatter your necklace?”

“I told you. I was not completely human. The necklace keeps me under control if that is the answer you want.”

“I told you that six years ago. I told you that you were a Dark Angel...a reborn. What the hell do you mean by keeps you under control? Have your powers shown up being to great for you to handle or did you find out that you had part of a dragon's soul in you?”

“I turn evil every once in a while because of Matt. What powers? Which Dragon?”

“The powers I told you that you could have since you are a Dark Angel too. The dragon named Drego, remember his evil soul is part of me!”

“Let me ask you this? Do you remember feeling my pain when I was sitting near you since you have the ability of being an Empath? Did you not know that everything that happened pretty much tore my heart out?”

“Yeah, I felt your pain. I felt tears on my face the day you went to the school office to cry.”

“How did you know I went to the office crying?”

“Dark Angels know more about what goes on than Norms do.”

“What's a Norm since you are a 'Dark Angel'?”

“Norms are humans who have only had one life time and that is the one they are currently living.”

“Oh, now I remember. You told me that I was part Norm.”

“Yep.”

“Hey, we're getting into stuff I don't know about. We'll continue this later. Anyway, how does it feel to be forced to sit in front of me and actually explain yourself?”

“Do you want the sarcastic response or do you want the truth?”

“The truth! Duh! have you put your self on stupid pills or something?"”

“Okay, okay I get it. Well, to be honest it's torcher.”

“Torcher? TORCHER!!!! How can this be torcher since earlier you were grinning like a little kid who had the candy store to themselves?”

“I didn't want to you to see my pain.”

“It would have tickled me to death to see your pain. To see you cry would have made me the happiest person alive. How much did it add to your ego to tell me that we were not going to see each other again as lovers?”

“It didn't add to my ego it just tore it down even more.”

“How was it torn down before that exactly? I wanna know because this is getting interesting.”

“I was already hurt as it was,” Bradley paused, swallowed, looked down, then he continued, “and previous occasions had made me think that you had broken up before I told you.”

“Oh! That note explaining that I needed to stay farther away than usual since 'Mr. British-Egyptian' or which of your ten soul parts had taken over for that week. That wasn't a break up letter, you Son of a Bitch!!!”

“Well, I thought it was a break up because of what an ex-girlfriend had done.”

“So it was a miss understanding?”

“I guess so,” Bradley said continuing to look at the floor.

“Well, it turned out to be the most painful thing that happened to me. Then again I now have to worry about hurting someone unintentionally,” I said lifting up my wrists to show off the chains.

“Well, I'm sorry. I thought you knew that we were not together that day at lunch.”

“I...I...I wasn't even thinking about breaking up with you. I was thinking about where we would live when we got married. I was thinking about if we would have kids or not. I was thinking about if I should buy you a ring to give you, something to remind you of my love for you," I said bowing my head and covering my face with my hands. “I even told you that I loved you at least four times a day for a month. Didn't that tell you something?”

Bradley kept his head down as silence filled the room.

“Does your silence mean that it didn't strike you as being important?”

“No.”

“Well tell me exactly what it meant to you.”

“It meant like what it means to every other couple that is getting married.”

“Well, why didn't you take it to heart when I told you that I loved you always and you needed to remember that?”

“I was hurt and I just thought you left me. Do you want to keep talking about this just to make me cry again.”

“Oh you cried did you?” Bradley nodded. “Well, that's really part of all I wanted to hear.”

“What else do you want me to tell you? All I can say is that I am sorry and I would do anything to redo all of that! I loved you to but I needed to heal. We might go out again but not right now.”

“Do you think I ever want to go out with you again? After all of this?”

“If you felt as bad as to go to suicide, I wouldn't.”

“There ya go! You learn quickly don't you?” Bradley stayed quiet. “Well, you better find a comfortable spot and get a good night's sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning you'll get a wake up, that I can assure you, it will scare the shit out of you.” I grinned and Bradley just stared at me unknowing of the surprise I had in store for him. “Well, do you want to explain anything else to me about the Dark Angel issue?”

“Well, I go by two names now.”

“The name you lied about? Wasn't it 'Eclipse'?”

“I go by both now since I know so much about when I was him. It wasn't a lie. Oh, I sometimes hate when one of our powers is long term memory. Things tend to come back and haunt me, the main one out of the seven.”

“Seven? What seven?”

“Well, there is a total of seven Dark Angels but two of the souls are in one body right now.”

“Who is the one with the double soul?”

“You.”

“Me. How can it be me?”

“Well, for some reason during this life time the souls decided to let six bodies have them but two of them I guess decided to share a body. There are usually seven bodies instead this time there are six.”

“If I am sooo special what are the names of my souls?”

“Siren and Harpie.”

“Lier! You got those from Greek & Roman Mythology.”

“I'm not lying!”

“Prove it!”

“Okay. Remember how I told you that I was part shade too? Well watch my teeth and eyes.” I watched closely as his eyes turn blood red and two eye teeth get three inches long!

“Now do you believe me?” Bradley said in a demonic voice. I stayed silent as I stared at his teeth. “You believe. I can tell. If you didn't you would be talking right now.”

I nodded. Shocking as it was is that he wasn't lying. “Wow. Why haven't you changed back yet?”

He smirked then said, “I tend to take over sometimes.”

Well great, I have a shade taking over Bradley's body. What would happen next?

“Hey, stop it and go away. Thank you,” Bradley said shaking his head.

“Are you back or do I have a British-Egyptian to deal with?”

“You've got 'Mr. British'.”

“Well, wait one minute.” I released my self from the chains and went over to Bradley and I slapped him as hard as my strength would allow me.

“You know he's gonna feel that?”

“Oh well, you get the big blow. He just gets the after math.”

“I actually got part of the big blow.”

“Whoops.”

“That really hurt.”

“Well, I didn't know that you changed like that.”

“It's not yourselves fault I should have told you. I should have told you that week that I changed between 'Mr. British' and Bradley.”

“Yeah it wouldn't have seemed like I was talking to a stranger.”

“Sorry. Hey can you tell me what time it is?”

“It's um... about 9:30. Why?”

“No wonder I am so sleepy,” Bradley yawned.

“You will need the sleep. Trust me.”

“Wasn't your boyfriend supposed to come back here?”

“I guess for my safety he was put in another room.”

“Why not my safety?” I glared at him and he said, “Oh, I see. Well, night.”

“Night.” We both went to sleep and I prepared for an interesting morning.”

“Chrystal! Come here, now!” Joseiff screamed after he appeared at the Devil’s 30’s hide out. He pulled the burnt card out of his arm after he sat down.

“Baby, what have they done to you?” Chrystal said as she quietly ran over and sat down beside Joseiff.

“Matt used something I had forgotten he had that I should have.”

Chrystal waved her hand in the air and a small wash cloth and bowl of warm water appeared on the floor beside her.

“I forgot he had a stronger mind than I did.”

“Shh, it will all turn out the way you plan it, my love.” She dipped the wash cloth into the water, squeezed the excess water out of it and held it to Joseiff’s arm.

Joseiff jumped in pain and said, “That hurts!”

“I know but it will help clean it so it won't become infected,” Chrystal said calmly. She repeated what she had done before but instead let the excess water run over Joseiff’s arm.

Joseiff bit his lower lip in agony from the heat of the water and the tenderness of his arm.

“After this I’ll heal it,” Chrystal said looking the cleaned wound over.

“Why can’t you just heal it with the dirt on it?”

“The dirt will stay in the wound and it will make it worse. If I were to heal it and leave it there most likely you would lose your arm after a month or two. In my personal opinion this is your strong arm. It helps you when I am not the nicest little devil.”

“Oh, Baby not right now.”

“I'm sorry, Baby,” Chrystal said as she moved her hand slowly and gently over Joseiff's arm.

“Once I get rid of them I'm gonna...,” Joseiff winced and went quiet.

“Um if it makes you feel any better after I heal your arm and everything you'll be able to use your arm like usual before sundown tonight.”

“That's great," Joseiff said plainly. “You've improved.”

“Thank you, Baby. I've been practicing,” Chrystal said as she began healing Joseiff's arm.

“On who!?” Joseiff said growing agitated

“The man you told me to persuade.”

“That fool, Adam?” Joseiff said calming down.

“Yeah him.”

“How'd he get injured?” he said laying back.

“I hurt him with his own weapon, Then I erased his memory. Next I just knocked him out and healed him.”

“You did that how many times?”

“I didn't count. I stopped after his skin began to show signs of scars.”

“What did you do after that?” Joseiff said looking at Chrystal.

“I made him think we had sex,” Chrystal said quietly as she finished healing Joseiff's arm.

“Made him think...!” Joseiff said slightly sneering.

“I've learned how to manipulate the mind into thinking they've done and feel like they've done things.”

“How do I know you haven't used that on me?” Joseiff said as he stood and painfully grabbed Chrystal's arm pulling her up. Chrystal lost her balance.

“Joseiff, Baby I would never do that to you. You should know that!” She said trying to regain her balance.

“I wonder...,” Joseiff said glaring at Chrystal and letting her arm go.

Chrystal let out a deep sigh, straighted herself up, and said, “Well, I don't blame you but remember this...I love you.”

Chrystal looked at Joseiff in the eyes but he stayed quiet. She turned around and began walking to Joseiff's room when she stopped, sighed heavily then began walking to his room again.

“Chrystal...,” Joseiff said as Chrystal grabbed the doorknob Joseiff's room.

Chrystal turned around hopefully and said, “Yes, Baby.”

Joseiff stayed quiet as Chrystal stood completely still waiting for him to speak. 'Please say something, anything. An I love you will do,' Chrystal thought.

“Chrystal...you will enjoy Micheal's company tonight,” Joseiff said lowering his head. Chrystal looked at Joseiff and hoped that he would say, 'Never mind' or 'I'm just kidding'. He didn't say a word as he raised his head. Chrystal caught his eye. He saw that tears began to well up in her eyes. Joseiff waved his hand as if telling her to leave. Joseiff watched as Chrystal turned her back to him and ran in to Alucard and Donte's room, still crying.

“What am I going to do with her? Her brother just died and she just out of nowhere learns how to 'manipulate the mind'. How in the hell could she learn that? Oh, well.” He slightly shrugs, turns toward the door to exit the hide out and begins to think.

'What will be the plan next time? Lets see if Alucard, Donte or the twins have any ideas'. He took his index finger and placed it on the symbol that he had burnt into his hand eight years ago.

Almost instantaneously Donte, Alucard, and the twins were standing before him.

“What do you ask of us boss?” Alucard ask standing like a soldier waiting for orders.

“I need some ideas about what will happen to my little bro and his girlfriend.” When Joseiff said girlfriend he screwed up his face as if he had a bad taste in his mouth.

“We could continue with the previous plan but as they say 'make them squeal like little pigs',” Lilly-Rose said as she moved up close to Alucard and Emily-Rose moved closer to Donte'.

“Good idea but have you thought of how?”

“Why, don't we pick off someone else?” Donte' said as Emily-Rose grabbed the end of his long hair and tugged at it playfully.

“You can act like you've been under our control and just act really guilty and hurt and whatnot,” Lilly-Rose said looking at Alucard in the eyes.

“Hello, Einstein, they will know!”

“I tried.”

“Trying doesn't get you very far here.”

“Emily-Rose, Baby your quiet,” Donte' said as his smile he was giving Emily-Rose faded.

“I'm thinking,” she said as she moved away from Donte' and began to pace.

“How long will it take you to think?” Joseiff said getting impatient.

“Well, why don't we do a step-by-step thing...”

“What? You've just started and I'm already lost,” Joseiff said with a confused look on his face.

“I was thinking that maybe either we get Matt not to like Jenniffer which will break her heart or let them think we aren't interested in 'em. It will confuse them a little bit.”

“The first idea sounds sweeter,” Joseiff said slightly smiling

“Hey boss, why don't we do both plans at the same time,” Donte' said as he sat down in the edge of a chair he made appear out of thin air.

“Instead of Matt not liking Jenniffer lets flip-flop it,” Lilly-Rose said.

“What do you mean by 'flip-flop it'?”

“Switch it around. Make Jenniffer not like Matt,” Emily-Rose said answering Joseiff's question.

“Oh! I thought we were doing that?”

“Well, why don't we instead of letting you do everything lets make it appear like he messes up stuff.”

“When did you two get so smart?” Joseiff said nodding.

“I don't know!” both boys said in unison.

After he said that I grabbed my head in pain. I heard a loud, high pitched noise that would raise the dead from the discomfort. I droped to my knees and prayed for the noise to stop.

“Jenny what's wrong?” I heard Matt say as the noise continued to ring in my ears. “Adam, help me. We've got to get her to Daniel, if we can. Grab her arm and take my hand. I'll get us there.”

Matt grabbed my arm and jumped back from me. Adam was the same way.

“Oww, my hands!” Adam screamed looking his hands over.

“Joseiff is doing this. I bet he is.”

“Your really good brother,” a voice echoed.

“Stop this. She hasn't done anything to you.”

“I don't think I will,” the voice echoed as Joseiff showed himself. “Her love should be mine,” he said as he looked in my direction. He paused for a moment then I began to move around like all my insides were burning like the fire from hell itself. My skin felt like it was being cut by thousands of knives.

“Don't punish her she didn't do anything but love me.”

“Your right she didn't do anything. I should be getting you! Lets have a little fun.” Joseiff said as he looked at Adam who was crouched in a corner.

“Oh, shit!” Adam said as he began to get up and run.

“Oh no, you don't,” Joseiff said smiling He raised his hand as he snapped his fingers. Adam stopped dead in his tracks. Adam turned toward Matt and began walking toward him like a zombie.

Matt began walking away from Adam but Adams pace quickened.

“Hey, brother want to dance?” Joseiff ask as Adam finally caught up with Matt.

As Joseiff said that he had loosened his magical grip on me so I was able to sit up and look at what was going on. I looked first to Matt who was in Adam's arms. He was being forced to dance with Adam. Adam of course didn't know what he was doing. It was as if he was a puppet in the hands of Joseiff, the puppeteer.

“Jenny,wanna join?” Joseiff said as he got up and came over to me. He reached out his hand and I refused. “Fine be that way,” Joseiff said as he forced me to where I was standing. Then he began dancing me around the room. After he did that he made Adam sit Matt down and he forced them watch us dance. As Joseiff forced me to dance all of us traveled to a place that looked like a ballroom.

“Enjoying the dance?”

“Is it like I have a choice?”

“Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to dance with another man?”

“I don't want to dance at all!”

“Well, too bad,” Joseiff said as a hooded figure appeared out of nowhere. Joseiff stopped dancing in front of him and gave the figure my hand. He put one of my hands upon his shoulder and the other in his hand. The figure was about my height and slinder. The figure took his free hand and pulled down his hood, I saw he was a man with short blond hair and gray eyes.

“Nice to see you again Jenniffer,” he said in a low voice. After he spoke my eyes got wide and my mouth dropped open in surprise.

“Bradley?”

“I thought you'd forgotten me.”

“Jenny, I thought you'd remember Bradley. He wanted to spend some time with you,” Joseiff said with a thrilled look on his face. “Matt you might want to watch this. It's going to get good,” Joseiff said while Matt struggled to get away from Adam, who was still holding him down in a sitting position.

“Jenny,” Bradley said as we stopped dancing. “I missed you since you left. I dated more, but I never found one like you.”

“Don't say any more!” I said as I broke away from him. Then,I turned toward him and said, “You pretty much put me on the road to suicide after you said that I broke up with you. I had to force myself to completely break up with you and if you want to know to me you are nameless,” I said fighting back tears. Then I pointed to myself again and again as I said, “You told me your secret and I kept it! I told you I'd never leave you! I ask you to marry me and you said yes! I even told you that I would be in your bed that night after we got married! I thought you believed me, but I was wrong. How did I break up with you when I said all that...huh? Tell me how I could do that to you? You said I broke up with you and that we should date other people!”

Bradley interrupted, “I know and I'm sorry...”

“Sorry won't help you now!” I screamed. “I was willing to drop everything and put a ring on your finger and you left me. I haven’t dated anyone until about a month ago. Yes, I was that heartbroken!” I said as I turned away from him, dropped to my knees and began crying. “I...I thought you loved me but saying ‘I broke up with you’ was and still is a lie! I loved you too much! Do you hear me I loved you too much to break up with you!” I said through tears.

Bradley came up behind me and ran his fingers through my hair. I heard Matt struggling again to get away from Adam, but I was to infuriated to really care about him at the moment.

“Oh, I almost forgot. I have a secret of my own!” I said as I changed into my half-demon, half-human form and stood up. “Now, instead of what you thought was an unknown reborn to deal with, you have a half-demon!”

Bradley backed up with a look of surprise on his face as he said, “How?”

“My boyfriend decided to help me with my new form after he scratched me,” I said clenching my hands into fists.

“Joseiff! Why, didn’t you tell me that she had been this way?”

Joseiff just shrugged his shoulders and said, “It must have slipped my mind.”

“Slipped your mind, my ass!” Matt said to Joseiff.

“I’m tired of hearing your mouth. Your my brother and all but you talk to much,” Joseiff said as he moved his hand across as if he was zipping up a zipper.

Matt tried to answer but he couldn’t open his mouth.

As Joseiff was doing this I turned toward Bradley.

“Jenny, your eyes are red! What have they done to you?”

“They’ve only given me power,” I said in a demonic voice, walking toward Bradley. Two swords appeared in my hands as I walked.

Bradley fell backwards and scrambled to get further away from me.

“This is getting too good for it to go on any longer,” Joseiff said as he stopped me from taking another step toward Bradley.

Bradley breathed heavily as he stood up and moved closer to Joseiff. “Thank you,” he said.

“Who said I was completely letting you get away. You still have one more thing to deal with,” Joseiff chuckled as he moved his hand in Matt and Adam’s direction. After Joseiff moved his hand Matt was able to get up and run straight for Bradley.

“Lets have some more fun with this,” Joseiff said. Joseiff turned me toward Matt and Bradley so I could watch. He also waved his hand at Bradley who was trying to get away from Matt. Matt had grabbed Bradley by the collar and was holding him a couple of feet above the ground.

“Put me down, please. I’ve done nothing to you. I don’t even know you.”

“Well, I’m Jenny’s new boyfriend and no one past or present messes with her! You’ve gone to far. I thought she was treated better than that before me but I’ve been proved wrong. And you brother, I don’t understand you anymore,” Matt said that he used his free hand to begin magically dragging Joseiff to him.

“This is just to fun. You know I am stronger than you, Matt,” Joseiff said smiling

“You wouldn’t know that even if it were true,” Matt said.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Joseiff said as he moved his fingers in a flicking motion to fling Matt, along with Bradley, across the room. When Matt hit the opposite wall, he let go of Bradley's collar. “Matt, brother, you know I'm better than you. You just don't want to admit it. I mean after all you don't want to disappoint Jenny. Do you?”

“No, I don’t but just to let you in on something, brother. You’ve forgotten one thing.”

“Oh, and what would that be?”

“That I can control objects better than you,” Matt said as he got up, raised his hand and began twisting it around quickly. After Matt twisted his hand around Joseiff performed many flips. Matt had taken Joseiff by surprise to where he had to let go of his grip on Adam and I. I was able to run over to Bradly to make sure he was able to travel with us. Adam was able to help Matt fight Joseiff.

“Hey, Matt put him down for a second I got a present for your brother,” Adam said pulling out some cards from his pocket.

“Okay,” Matt said throwing his brother down on the ground.

Adam mumbled some words that I couldn’t understand and threw a card, that burst into blue flame, at Joseiff. The card hit him in the arm and he vanished from the ballroom. Then the room changed into what looked like a large, old garage

“It was just an illusion,” Matt said walking toward Bradley and I.

“Adam could you put this asshole under ice?” I said hoping it would make it easier to deal with Bradley.

“Sure.”

“After we get him under ice we really need to get somewhere Joseiff can’t get to easily.”

“Daniel’s?” I ask.

“The best idea I’ve heard in a long time.”

“Before we go any where could you do that wake up trick thing?”

“Come here Baby and I’ll make it all better.”

“You might want to hurry up.” Matt and I looked at Adam and he said, “Just in case.” Matt nodded and he began doing his wonderful little wake up trick while Adam put Bradley under ice.

When Matt got done I said, “Thank you, Baby.”

“Your welcome,” Matt said as he hugged me around the neck. “Adam are you almost done?”

“I’ve been done. Magic is my specialty so it wasn’t to hard.”

“Good to know. Honey, are you ready to try and get to Master Daniel's house?”

“Yes,” I said grabbing his hand.

“Well lets go then,” Matt said as he lead me over to Adam and Bradley. “Adam, could you grab him by the arm with one of your hands and grab Jenny’s hand with the other?” Adam nodded as he kneeled down to grab Bradley’s arm.

“Are we all ready?” I said looking at everyone.

“I am if ya’ll are,” Adam said.

“I’m always ready, Baby,” Matt said smiling at me.

“Okay, Matt lets go,” I said smiling back at him. Soon after we all began traveling to Daniel’s but Joseiff was thinking of a plan to slow us down.

“Lets go to your place first.”

“Why my place?” Adam said in shock and a little worried.

“It will be unexpected and it will be a place for us to sit down, tend to minor wounds and think. You are sounding a bit worried. What's wrong?”

“Well...I...Me and a lady friend were...visiting.”

“Stop, stop, stop, that is T-M-I.”

“T-M-I?” I ask.

“To-Much-Information.”

“Oh,” I said shortly.

“Adam take Jenny's hand and Jenny take mine.”

“Could I go clean up first?”

“We will let you clean up for five minutes...”

“It will take me more than five minutes to...”

“Ten, and no more then we'll be on our way. Capeash?”

“Aye, Aye commander,” Adam said as he saluted with one hand, Grabbed my hand assuring me that things were going to be alright.

I giggled a bit and took Matt's hand. “Adam, your silly.”

“You think so?” I nodded. “That's a first,” he said then vanished.

“Well lets clean up some to give him some time. Lets at least clean up what we can of the blood...” I said then I became quiet.

“Are you okay?” Matt said.

“Yeah, I just need a bit to pull my self together,” I said quietly as I looked at the floor where Christopher was laying before he disappeared.

“I half-way understand how you feel,” Matt said trying to comfort me.

“How?”

“Do you remember the whole killing my brother and using my flesh and blood to make him a new body?” I nodded. “Well, he lost almost all his memory so I had to pretty much teach him every thing all over again.”

“So you pretty much had a dead brother.”

“Yeah, and what makes it worse is that after he got what he could of his memory back he learned his only way to live was to join the Devils 30 and swear elegance to be able to life like a normal demon does.”

“But you wanted him to leave after you quit. I still don't know what the whole story is. Would he live a certain number of years after he quit or would he just die? Did the Devils 30 tell you that he wouldn't be able to live or did someone else tell you?”

“He would die after two years but he would quickly age into an old man. Now that I think about it the Devils 30 told us that.”

“And I just thought of this how come he doesn't turn into...well you know what.”

“That I don't know to be honest. I've never really thought about that.”

“Are you thinking that the Devils 30 had something to do with it?”

“It could happen. Lets get going to Adam's place before we have any unwanted company,” Matt said as he reached out to take my hand.

“Yep, I don't want to have to let you go too.” I said as I took his hand. We traveled to Adams house and it was a sight to see. It was a rough looking little place that was fit for a bachelor. “I take it he's not married.”

“I thought you had figured that out with the T-M-I issue.”

“Duh, I'm stupid,” I said as I hit my self in the forehead

“You're not stupid, you just had a...uh...brain fart that's all. Me I'm the one that's stupid.”

“Thank you, at least one person on the planet thinks I'm intelligent; and your not stupid!”

“No, I'm stupid. Your just saying that. It's that girlfriend thing where you say the guy is smart to make them feel better.”

“Let's quit arguing. Hopefully he's cleaned up.”

Matt walked up to Adams door and knocked. Adam opened the door then he said, “You said you'd come in ten minutes.”

“It's been ten minutes,” Matt said chuckling quietly.

“You lie!”

“No, it's been ten minutes trust me.”

“But I'm not done cleaning up,” Adam said as Matt pushed past him to see a girl arousing from sleeping on the couch bed. “Chrystal...keep your self covered.”

“Why?” she said then turned around and saw Matt and I in the room. “What? You!”

“You, what are you doing here?”

“Umm. What does it look like?” Chrystal said sleepily but with attitude.

“Get out slut! Chrystal get out now!” Matt said

“Matt, what are you doing she is my guest.”

“Well tell your guest to get the hell away from you.”

“Chrystal, go please so I can figure out what the hell is going on around here.”

“I'll be back,” she said then went up to Adam and kissed him on the lips. After she kissed Adam she vanished.

“Now what the hell is going on?”

“Well, first of all she is from the Devils 30. Second I checked her out before I met Jenny and quit the Devils 30 and that is when I found out something. She's...was Chris's sister.”

“Eeww, that's gross.”

“His sister! Oh, Hell! Shit, Shit, Shit!” Adam said as he pulled at his hair and paced the room.

“And it gets worse,” Matt said lowering his head.

“Oh, how can it possibly get any worse!?!” Adam said getting up into Matt's face.

“Well,...I...uh...made love to her,” Matt said preparing for a beating.

Adam looked at Matt giving him the most disgusted look he could muster. Then he said, “That is nasty!!!”

“Please, tell me there is more, go on,” I said hoping there wouldn't be.

“Well...there is more,” Matt said.

“You've got to be kidding,” Adam said, “Please don't tell me she slept with all of the Devils 30. At least tell me that!”

“Umm...she didn't but...”

I interrupted and said, “But, she slept with...the only one left Joseiff.” Matt nodded. “Okay, just find me a loaded gun and shoot me.”

“Baby...Adam this is going to top it all but the day before I quite she became my brother's girl...”

“So she's CHEATING!?!?!” I screamed.

“Oh, great just great. I think I need to sign my self into and insane asilem and stay there. That might actually help me,” Adam said throwing his hands into the air in frustration.

“If this makes you feel better there isn't anything else.”

“I'll still need psychiatric help,” Adam said pulling at his hair again.

“You know what. I'll go with you,” I said as I began walking toward the door.

“Wait! Baby," Matt walked toward me and grabbed me by the waist. “You don't need help you will get over it...,” Matt paused, “...eventually.”

“Well, I better get over it fast.” Matt let me go and turned toward the couch. “I feel like I need many long hot baths, starting now, before I feel any better.”

“Well honey, all I can say is that those baths will have to wait and it doesn't really matter if you get those baths now. What matters now is how we will deal with the Devils 30 and my brother.”

“Yeah, your right. Adam, do you need time to collect your self?”

“Oh Yeah!” he said shrinking into a corner.

“You know what, this is getting crazier by the minute. Adam, why don't you stay here and we'll leave you to go to another friend's house,” Matt said.

“Adam looked up at Matt and said, "What am I going to do if they come here? I can fight but not a large group by myself!”

“My best thing I can suggest is that you get yourself together and come with us unless you have a better plan,” Matt said turning toward Adam.

Adam got up and said, “I can't think of anythin' better. Jenny can you think of anything?” I shook my head.

“It's settled your coming along,” Matt said as he lowed and shook his head.

“Why are you shaking your head?”

“We'll have a lot of explainin' to do.”

“What do you mean?” I said scratching my head.

“Daniel,” Matt said plainly.

“We're going to Daniel's house!?! That's the first place they'd expect!” I said quickly.

“Good point,” Matt said as he began to pace the room.

“What if they have already attacked?” I said nervously.

“We can always go look,” Adam said throwing in his idea.

“What is it?"

“No time to...” Christopher began to say but was pulled away from the door.

“Lets go,” I said as I rushed to the door. As I ran to the living room I heard Christopher scream. When I got there Adam was standing near the couch holding a deck of cards that had different symbols on them. I looked around and found Christopher in a crouching position on the floor I saw blood dripping from his arms. I looked toward Adam again. I heard him say and incantation and one of the card burst into flame. After it did he threw it toward me. The card barely missed me and I felt a hand grab my arm. When I turned around a cloaked figure was falling to the ground, squirming in pain. I turned back to see more cloaked figures wrestling with Matt. Adam was throwing icy and firey cards left and right. One of the figures jumped for me and grabbed my arms. I tried to fight him off but he was to strong then a voice inside me said 'Get flaming mad'. I did because the figure grabbed my ass and no one but Matt grabs my ass. I got so mad that I wanted to take a torch to him. The moment I thought that the figure let me go and yelped in pain. I turned around and raised my fists it was then that I found two flaming swords in my hands. I quickly ran toward Christopher and began swinging the swords around wildly. I hit a figure in the throught and he fell wezzing. Another I hit in the back of the neck and he fell down dead. The others were busy fighting Matt and Adam so I dropped the swords and went to see if Christopher was okay.

When I got to Christopher he said, “I'll be fine go help Matt,” as he turned on his back.

“No your hurt.”

“Go help him now!” he said with all his strength

After he said that I obeyed. I picked up the swords as I went. Before I got to him two men grabbed me. One at my feet the other at my arms. The one at my feet made me fall. As I hit the ground I bit my lip, hard and let the swords slip from my hands. My lip began to bleed as I two figures turned me over and said a few words I couldn't understand. After there incantation the whole room vanished but I still heard Adam and Matt fighting with the intruders. Then I heard nothing. It was completely quiet. It was still dark all I could rely on is my ears and touch. The two figures had dropped me and supposedly vanished. I felt the surface I was dropped on and it felt familiar it was the same floor I was on not only four hours ago.

I sat there thinking how Adam, Christopher and Matt where doing.

Then I heard a voice say, “How ya doing?”

“Bruised but fine,” I responded. “Matt is that you?”

“No, try again.”

“Joseiff!!! What are you doing here?"

“What does it look like I'm here?"

“I can't see so I don't know dumb ass."

“Now, why'd you call me that?”

“You are a dumb ass, Duh!”

After that was said Joseiff rushed up to me grabbed my face and made me look at him. Then he said, “Well, I guess your the slut. Since you want something don't you?”

“Snake, leave me alone,” I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled it away from my face.

“Tut tut, you should know better than to mess with me.”

“Oh, please tell me. I'm dieing to know how I know why,” I said sarcastically.

“Well, I over power you easy.”

“What do you mean over power me?”

“Let me show you.” As he said that he jumped on top of me and began tearing off my clothes and forcing me to stay still.

“Stop! What are you doing stop!” I screamed as he continued and I transformed in to a half-demon.

I began clawing and biting him to try and release my self but Joseiff just said sounding thrilled, “I like a woman who'll fight me.”

“Don't think this changes much,” I said as I freed one of my legs and kicked him with all my strength in the groin.

He let go, rolled off of me and said, “Ohhh, why...did...you?”

I got off my back and said as I stood up, “Lets just say I can be over powering too.” After I said that I ran to where I remembered where I thought Matt had made his own door. I found it and jumped through and as fast as I could I found the stairs. I wanted to get as far away as I could before Joseiff got up.

'Lets see if I can contact the guys,' I thought. First I tried Christopher but if he heard me he didn't answer. Then I tried Matt.

'Matt, help Joseiff is trying to rape me again.'

'Jenny, where are you?'

'The old hotel running down the stairs.'

'I'll be there soon.'

I continued to run down the stairs as I waited for Matt to show up. I got down two flights of stairs when I heard Joseiff begin his decent down the stairs. I continued to run trying not to fall but sure enough I fell. My heart raced. I tried to get up but when I put weight on my right foot I realized that I had twisted my ankle. I continued hobbling down the stairs. Joseiff continued to follow me and I heard someone running right behind me.

'Jenny, stop. I'm right here.'

'Matt?'

'Yeah, it's me. Quit hobbling and take my hand.'

“Fine, just hurry!!” I screamed as I stopped and reached for his hand. He grabbed my hand and we traveled to what seemed to be the back of my house.

“Why'd we come back here?”

“I thought you'd want to say goodbye.”

“What do you mean, goodbye?”

“Well, Chris he...um...”

“Christopher? Where is he? What happened?”

“Chris is in the house but be warned what happened to Chris is...very sad and disturbing.”

After hearing that I raced into the house searching for Christopher. I found Christopher in the living room. He was face down on the ground. When I saw him I couldn't believe my eyes. I ran over to him as Matt walked in. Tears began to form in my eyes as I turned him over to find a big gash stretching from his right shoulder down to his left hip.

“Chris...I...” I could hardly speak as I morned. I am usually not one to cry but something inside me just snapped.

Matt walked up to me and said, “I'm sorry. I wish I could have done more.”

My head was on his chest. I lifted my head to make sure I wasn't dreaming and I saw Christopher's feet begin to fade.

“What's happening? Why is he disappearing?”

“He must have made previous arrangements.”

“Quit talking gibberish and tell me what is going on.”

“Jenny he made previous arrangements where he would disappear after he died. That's the best way I can explain it.” By the time Matt had finished saying this Christopher was half-way gone.

I couldn't believe it. I put my head on his chest again and whispered so only I could hear, “I loved you...a little.”

“I hate to interrupt but we have to go they might come back.”

“Can I just have a minute. Please?” I said still sobbing.

“You don't have a minute.” Matt said as I picked up my head one more time to see that the lower part of his chest was beginning to fade.

“Jenny,” I heard Adams voice say from behind me.

“I hope he has good where he's going,” I said.

“I think risking his life for you was his ticket to better than good,” Adam sniffled as he outstretched his hand and lifted me to my feet. I looked back at Christopher one more time and his hair was almost gone. As Christopher completely vanished I buried my head into Adam's chest crying.

“Well lets go. We need to get far from here because if they come back, we'll need to be out of the way.” Matt said as I lifted my head, wiped my eyes and nodded.

“Yeah, we need to be out of the way. Where to?” Adam said as he stayed close to give me a shoulder just in case I started crying again.

“Now since he's gone lets try and make since of what is going on. Speak when spoken to and don't interrupt anyone while they are talking, understand?” Christopher and Matt nodded when I looked at them. Matt's lip was lightly blooded and it was beginning to swell. “Now, lets begin with Matt...”

“Why start with him?” Christopher interrupted

"Did I just speak to you?"

“No.”

“Then don't talk! Anyway will you answer a few questions for me?”

“Sure.”

“First, were you here five minutes ago? Answer yes or no.”

“No.”

“Where were you? Answer simply.”

“I was occupied at the minute.”

“With what?"

“Probably thinking about how he was going to get his way," Christopher said under his breath.

“Christopher, Shut the Hell Up! Anyway, Tell me how you were occupied.”

“I was tied up.”

“I know you were tied up now tell me how were you occ...”

“I was tied up, literally”

“By whom exactly?”

“A...a.... a member of The Devils 30,” Matt studdered.

“Oh, I see. I'll ask Christopher some questions now. Why did you jump Matt?”

“That bastard was trying to have his way with you.”

“Why are you calling me a bastard?!?! What do you mean by having my way with Jenniffer?"” Matt yelled as he stood up slowly.

“Matt, quit yelling and sit down! Now!”

“Sorry,” Matt said as he sat back down.

“Christopher don't say anything rude during this discussion, do you hear me?” Christopher nodded. “Christopher listen to the whole story before you jump to conclusions and right now we understand Matt was not here doing that. Matt not saying you are lying but if what you say is true, explain more about the situation and how you escaped from the member of the Devils 30?”

“Well,...I was being forced to watch Joseiff have his way.”

“How do you know it was Joseiff?”

“Because he was torchering me from the inside and right now I'm very sore. He heard your thoughts and said that he was going to have a little fun.”

“Where did he hurt you? How does he know I can read minds?”

“Everywhere and he was doing what I was doing listening to see if your powers would develop more.”

“How did you escape?” I said again.

“Someone showed up in a black cloak and cut the ropes and chains...”

“You were chained? To what?”

“Yes, I was chained. It was a type of chain not invented in this world. I'm not sure what I was chained to but it was flat.”

“How could you see the episode between me and Joseiff?”

“It was like a film playing in my head but what made it worse was that I could some-what feel what he was doing.” Matt looked around and saw the flowers. “Who are the flowers from?”

“Me. I gave them to her,” Christopher said trying hard to contain his anger.

“Guys stay focused. Kind of off the subject question but did Daniel teach you how to do that?”

“The film thing? No, I don't know where he got that ability.”

“How do you know if it was Joseiff who was showing you that?” I said thinking he was talking about Joseiff.

“Just a hunch.”

“What about the pain, did Daniel say anything about that or teach you anything to do with that?”

“No. Owww, I wish I had something to dull the pain,” Matt said as he moved his sitting position.

“I have something,” I said as I got up. “I'll be back in a second and don't move..." I said then I turned back around, “You too, Christopher.” Christopher just blinked and moved the right side of his mouth up signaling that he was to pissed to really care.

I turned back around and began walking to my room to get Matt some Ibuprofen As I walked into my room Christopher and Matt exchanged words.

“The flowers are a nice gift I should have thought of that.”

“Don't try to talk me into thinking that your mister nice guy and you weren't going to hurt her.”

“I didn't do anything. I swear I am telling the truth! I love Jenny to much to hurt her!”

“Bullshit!”

“I'm serious!”

“Right and Jenniffer is a virgin”

“What is all this about me being a virgin?” I said as I walked in on them.

“Nothing,” Matt said covering up Christopher's comment.

“We'll get back to that subject soon. Anyway, here's the Ibuprofen It should help.”

“Thank you,” Matt said as I handed him the bottle and he took it greatfully.

“Your welcome, Honey,” I said as I sat back down.

“Now I think you were asking me some questions,” Matt said as he grabbed two pills out of the bottle.

“Yeah, do you think he got the powers from The Devils 30?”

“Maybe.”

“You should know dumb-ass!” Christopher said as he shifted his sitting position.

“Do I have to tie you up and gag you to make you shut up!?!?” I looked at Christopher in the eyes and he drew up his legs and stayed quiet.

“Thank You,” I said as I turned to Matt.

Matt looked me in the eyes and said, “Jenny, calm down.”

“I'm perfectly fine.”

“No your not, your eyes are red.”

“Your point is?”

“Well, when I get almost killing mad my eyes turn red. Your eyes might be the same way since I scratched you.”

I nodded then got up and started walking to my room. then I said, “We'll continue this discussion later. Chris you stay here. Matt come with me.” Matt looked at me puzzled and I said, “Now.”

Matt nodded, got up slowly as if still in pain and followed me. As I stepped into my room I grabbed Matt's hand and helped him to my bed. When he sat down I went back and closed the door. After that I sat down on the opposite side and breathed deeply.

“Are you okay?” Matt said as he touched my shoulder.

“I wish I was. I thought things would be different some how.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“I think the only thing you can do is just to love me.”

“Umm...I uh...oh never mind.”

“No, please tell me.”

“Well,” Matt said as he began to pull something from his pocket. I watched as he pulled out a small box.

“What is it?”

“I...umm...uh...,” Matt stammered.

“Uh, I hate to interrupt but we have a situation that needs to be tended to,” Christopher interrupted as he barged into my room.

“AH, I just...OOO,” I said as I turned over. 'I wish Matt was here,' I thought as I sat up and slid my self up to the head board. When I placed my back to the head board I suddenly froze. My body was still but I could see my self sitting in the same spot, in the same position and Matt sitting beside me leaning in to kiss me. Then I woak up. 'Did I just have a vision?' I thought, 'That was odd.'

I sat against the head board thinking about Matt and how I felt when he kissed me for the first time. 'I miss his special kiss. Matt I wish you could hear my thoughts and you would come to me!' After I thought that I sighed deeply and stared into space.

A few moments later I closed my eyes so I could day dream. Then I felt a small wind blow across my face and the bed shift like someone had just sat down. When I opened my eyes to see who or what it was I saw Matt sitting in front of me in his demon form.

“I heard you,” he said whispering.

“I'm so glad...” Matt stopped me.

Then he said in his mind, 'Only think, because I don't want them to hear you talking.'

I nodded, hugged him and thought, 'What took you so long?'

'It takes a while to get from one demention to another.'

'Ohhh...' I thought as Matt leaned in and kissed me on the lips, so my thought faded.

As we kissed he thought to me, 'I missed this.'

'I did too.'

We continued to kiss and my mind strayed away to a place that I didn't want to leave.

'Don't leave me just yet.'

I snapped back to normal and I pulled myself away from him.

'What's the matter?'

'Nothing, I just have a feeling that I can't explain. I...I think I might want something that isn't...' I breathed.

'I might know what your talking about. Close your eyes and just let me take over.'

'I...no...I can't as much as I want to I...want to wait to give myself in willingly.'

Matt lowered his head and breathed a heavy, very disappointed sigh. 'It's alright but just a taste won't hurt.' Matt looked at me, lifted his hand and began moving it in a hypnotizing way.

'Why...Why not. A taste won't hurt at all,' I thought.

I slid down flat onto the bed and sprawled myself out.

'Good,' Matt thought as he scooted himself down and threw a leg over my middle. He then laid down on me, began kissing my neck and nipping it with his fangs.

I just lay there quietly not hardly moving. All I did was breath and move my head so he could get to my neck better.

'How does that feel, Jenniffer?'

'Don't stop.'

'Fine have it your way.' he thought as he moved his hand to my shorts.

He took his hand and began pulling down my shorts when Christopher walked in and said, “Matt, get away from her!”

Matt looked up and said, “Curse you, bitch!” After he said that he vanished.

“Jenniffer, are you okay?”Christopher said as he ran over to me. I snapped out of my trance and looked around. I saw Christopher sitting next to me breathing hard and looking at me with worried eyes.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I'm fine. What happened?”

“Matt was attempting rape.”

“What?”

“He did try...”

“No, I mean how? He loves me.”

“I hate to say it but people lie.”

“Chris, come here I don't know who this is in here,” I heard Adams voice call.

“He's still here?”

“Yeah,” Christopher said as he walked out of my room. I got off the bed and I heard Christopher yell, “You bitch how dare you come back here!?!?!”

After I heard Christopher yell I ran down the hall and saw Matt standing there in his human form. Christopher ran from where he was and knocked Matt down punching him in the face.

“Chris, what...has... gotten into you?” Matt said as he grabbed Christopher's arms and threw him onto the couch.

“You should know whats into me you fucking bastard!” Christopher said as he ran for Matt again. Matt stepped to the side and Christopher missed his target by a foot.

“Matt! Christopher! Stop it! Both of you sit down, NOW!” I yelled.

Both guys stopped dead in there tracks and looked at me. Matt was looking at me with curious eyes. Christopher looked at me and his eyes were red, and full of anger.

“Both of you sit down,” I said as I felt an animal like rage building. They both nodded and sat down where they stood but they kept the same expressions on there face.

“I'll come back when I'm called,” Adam said before he vanished.

Christopher looked me in the eyes and smiled faintly. I saw his eyes glittering with joy that there was a faint chance that he could have me.

“Don't get any ideas though.”

“I won't,” Christopher said as he shook his head like he was trying to clear it.

“Promise?” I said as I put the flowers in a vase.

“I promise, cross my heart and hope to die.”

I laughed, “Okay, okay, I get it I was just checking that you still had your head on strait.”

“I don't think my head has been on strait since I met you.”

“Awww, stop. It is so cute, if you don't stop I'll barf”

“Fine, I'll stop.”

There was a knock on the door. “I bet it's the tacos,” I said as I rubbed my eyes that were watering. I opened the door and in a Taco Bell uniform was Faye standing there as usual looking like a black version of a blond.

“That will be...hey girl. Sup?”

“When did you get a job?”

“A few days ago didn't I tell you that?'

“No I was out.”

“With whom?”

“Faye now your getting motherly on me...”

“Are the guys here?” She stepped in the door looking around for the boys but instead she found Christopher sitting on the couch quietly. When Christopher looked at her and smiled she said, “Oh,....Hi.” She put the tacos on the table and quietly stepped back out side and said, “Jenny's becoming a playa.”

“Faye, I am not. Now, how much is the food?”

“Is is about...$14.50.”

“What! Did I order that much?"

“No... You just owe me $5.00 from when we went on that girls week out.”

“You still remember that?!?!”

“I might be black and have a short attention span but I do not forget things when it comes to money.”

“Fine,” I dug out my wallet and pulled out a ten and a five dollar bill. I gave them to Faye and said, “If there is anything else I owe you anything the future keep the 50 cent it will cover part of it.'

“Thanks. Question. Who is that? He's fine.”

“That is another guy I am helping out,” I fibbed.

“What does he need help with?”

“Him and I are the only ones who are supposed to know. It's confidential information.”

“Oooohhhh, Gotcha.”

“Well, I've got to get back to him and the food before it gets cold and you've got to get back to work.”

“Yeah I do,” Faye said sounding disappointed.

As Faye started walking to her car I called, “How long will this job last?”

Faye laughed and said, “Maybe a month.”

“$20.00 dollars.”

“Deal!” Faye said as she got into her car.

I walked into the house and Christoper was sitting at the table smelling the bag of tacos and poking it like a child would poke a dead snake. I guess he was seeing if it was alive or not. I just looked at him. I watched him as he poked the bag. After a moment I quietly giggled and he stopped poking the bag, sat down and acted like he hadn't done a thing.

“It's the tacos silly. It's not going to bite you. The only bite is has is the spiciness.”

“Oh.”

I began digging through the bag to find my order so I could give him his. Christopher just watched me as I divided the food.

After I got mine and his separated I said, “Is that enough? If it isn't I have more food here.'

“It's fine. One question though.”

“Yes.”

“How are you supposed to eat it?”

“Do I have to explain how to eat everything to half- human, half- demons!?!”

“I...uh. After this I won't ask unless it is necessary.”

“I'm not getting mad at you I just think it's kind of funny that the twins and you don't know how to eat American food.”

“Oh,” Christoper said simply.

“Anyway, Just watch me and you'll get the idea hopefully.”

“I think I'll get it.”

After Christopher said that I sat down, took the wrapper off of my first taco and began eating Christopher watched appearing to be very interested at how I ate.

After I took a few bites Christopher attempted to eat his tacos. He tried really hard to eat the tacos like I did but he kept dropping all of the stuffings out of the bottom.

“Would you like some help?”

“Please,” he said desperately.

“I got up and walked up behind him and grabbed the taco from him and folded the end of the taco up and said, “Hold the bottom of the taco like this so the stuff won't fall out.” I handed the taco back to Christopher to try and he dropped a little more of the ingredients on to the wrapper.

“It is okay if some still falls out. Just pick it up, put it on the top and eat it.”

I sat back down, after Christopher took a few bites, and continued eat

“Mmm, this is good after you get the hang of it. It isn't spicy at all.”

“Yeah, it'll get easier with time. The tacos will sometimes get a pepper dropped into it by accident That's why I said it might be spicy.” Christopher nodded understanding. “What else do we need to talk about?'

“We could continue the discussion of learning about each other.”

“We could do that. What else?”

“Lets do that.”

“Okay. Do you have any friends that I could meet?”

“Actually I do. Do you want to meet them now?”

“What do you mean, now?”

”Now, them come here and meet you.”

“Oh, I guess.”

“Who first. There's Adam, Corey, and Kevin. The craziest trio you'll ever meet.”

“I think I'll stick with one at a time. Why not Adam?”

“Alrighty, I'll see if he's open for introducing himself. Give me a moment will ya?”

“Sure.” After I said that I finished my tacos.

As I threw away the garbage Christoper closed his eyes breathed in deep and dropped his head. He stayed that way for a minute then he came back to life and said, “He'll be here in a moment he's got to get appropriate.”

The many ways that that statement could be taken went through my mind before I ask, “Do I even want to know what you meant by that?”

“I doubt it.” After Christopher said that he finished up his tacos quickly.

“I'll take your garbage.”

“Thanks,” Christopher said as he stood up. “Oh, before I forget he said he wanted a coke ready for him if you don't mind.”

“He's kind of demanding ain't he?”

“Na, he told me that he was very thirsty before I came back so I thought he might want one of those coke things that almost choked me.”

“That is a very good assumption,” I said talking like I was talking to a small child just to be funny with Christopher a bit.

“Quit! I don't want Adam coming up in here thinking I am staying with a maniac.”

“Don't worry, I'll be just as crazy as I can be.”

“Jenniffer!"”

“Okay, okay, I'll stop but not because you ask me to and you didn't ask me nicely to stop. That will minus you some brownie-points mister.”

“Well, it's good to see you again, Chris!”

“Hey Adam. How you doin'?” Christopher said as he turned around. When I looked up I saw a young man who was about six foot four inches and didn't look older than twenty. He had long, dark brown hair, blue eyes and a full beard.

“I'm great.”

“Who is this lovely lady standing so quiet?” Adam said as he walked over to me and slung his arm around my shoulder.

“This is Jenniffer the girl I told you about earlier.”

“She's prettier than you described her to be. How you described her I thought she looked like my ex-girlfriend.”

“You had an ex-girlfriend?”

“Yeah, she was psycho, a crazy maniac!”

“Crazy huh?”

“Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room with rubber rats. Rats, I hate rats they drive me crazy...,” Adam continued to say that three more times before Christopher said something.

“Adam, will you ever forget that?”

“No, I won't forget it! Besides it's like become my trademark.”

“Well could you just contain yourself for a little while?”

“I guess I can in front of the girl.”

I jumped in, “1) I am no girl, 2)I have a name it is Jenniffer and 3)I'm tired of just standing here so put me in the conversation, please.”

“1)If your not a girl what are you? 2)You have a lovely name and 3)How are you?” Adam said as he took his arm off my shoulder and looked at me with slanted eyes.

“I set myself up for that one, I am a woman thank you very much!” I said letting a bit of my frustration show. “I could be better and I could be worse. Feeling wise. Thank you my mother gave me that name.”

“Will you two stop?” Christopher said stopping Adam from responding with a sarcastic remark.

“Maybe,” I snapped.

“If she wants to continue.”Adam said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“What will I do with you two? I swear sometimes,”Christopher said as he grabbed my shoulders, steered me to the couch and sat me down. After Christopher did that he grabbed my drink and handed it to me quietly. Then he pulled out a chair, from the dinning room table and signaled for Adam to sit down. Adam sat down and glared at me.

'This isn't going the way I planned' Christopher thought.

'Same here!' Adam thought.

“Me too!” I said outloud.

“What the hell just happened there?” Adam said sounding surprised.

“I think Jenniffer just learned how to read minds,” Christopher said softly smiling.

“How could she learn? The way you described her she was human.”

“I'm not human. I'm actually half-human, half-demon,” I said. It sounded funny and unrealistic to me. I got up, put my drink in the refrigerator and began walking to my room.

“Jenniffer where are you going?” Christopher said sounding sweet and fearful.

“I'm going to my room to chill out for a bit. Don't bother me. It might be the best advice you can consider right now Chris.”

Christopher nodded signaling that he wouldn't. I looked at Adam who just turned his head from me. 'Oh, well,' I thought as I walked into my room. When I walked in I slammed the door and went to the side of my bed. I plopped down on the bed face first.

POST COMMENT

After we all got down the ninety-nine fights of stairs and to my house we all chilled on the couch.

“Well, Matt we are here and Master Daniel said nothing about you staying the night. I'm not trying to rush you out or anything but I don't think he'll like the idea of you staying uninvited,” Christoper said with his eyes to the floor.

“I understand Christopher. I will go if Jenniffer wants me to go now. Do you want me to go now?”

“No, I want you to stay!”

“What about the other night?”

“To hell with the other night! You are, right now, the one that makes me feel safe. You make my fears vanish. Please stay!” I said as I rushed up to Matt and hugged him tightly.

“Okay, I'll stay because you ask me to.”

“Thank you. For everything you've done today,” Jenniffer said lifting her head from Matt's chest.

“Your welcome, my sweetheart,” Matt said as he held Jenniffer close enough to him to where she could hear his heart beat.

“Well, I will leave ya'll for a bit. Jenniffer later I need to talk to you,” Christopher said as he began walking out the front door.

I kept my arms around Matt as I said, “Okay, I'll talk to you after Matt leaves.”

“When do you want me to leave? Well lets not make it to late but not to early, is 10:00 okay for you?"

“I guess so but I'll miss you so much,” I said as I let Matt go.

“I'll miss you to baby, but you know I love you.” After Matt said that he pulled me to him again and kissed me tenderly.

After we kissed for a few moments Matt backed himself away from me and said, “As this not being the best time to ask but do you want to tell me about the other night to let me in on what happened?”

“Why do you want me to tell you what happened?" I said confused, “You should know you were there.”

“There is a problem with that I don't remember what happened because I wasn't there.”

“How can that be you were right there hurting me?”

“How did...how could I hurt you? I didn't... I want to know who and how you were hurt. Tell me! Who hurt you?” Matt yelled.

“Matt, please don't yell,” I said before Matt could yell anymore. “Matt sit down on the couch and I will tell you the whole story.”

Matt looked me in the eyes and I saw his eyes were turning completely red. Then he went to the couch, sat down and took a deep breath. After Matt took his big breath I began telling him about how 'he' sexually harassed and raped me. When I got through Matt was staring into space with a look of pure anger on his face.

“He told me he quit the group,” Matt said with a demonic growl in his voice. I looked at Matt's eyes they were blood red.

“Matt what are you talking about?”

“Joseiff and The Devils 30,” Matt said still staring into space.

“Who is The Devils 30?” I said as I sat myself down on the couch.

“Roughly they are a group of thirty who do the worst things known to human and demon kind. They kill innocent people. They rape and slaughter the kindest people in the world. It's horrible.”

“Was I a victim? What does The Devils 30 have to do with you and Joseiff?”

“I used to be in The Devils 30 and Joseiff and I were the leaders. Joseiff is in the group still,” Matt said as he put his face in his hands.

I gasp, “What? You were the leader of a group that hurts innocent people.” I looked in to Matt's eyes again and they had changed back to normal. “You still haven't answered my question.”

“Oh, this will tell you. I hate to say this but you became one of my assignments when you spoke to us in the street at the beginning of our relationship.”

“What?” I said in disbelief

“And what makes this worse is that I was going to rape you that night I told you our secret.”

“I can't believe it. How could you?”

“I'm sorry. I am really with every fiber of my being I Am Sorry!” Matt said as he got off the couch to leave.

“Matt where are you going?”

“I've got to go it's 10:00.”

“Oh. Come here please.”

“Yes?”

I grabbed Matt's face, brought it down to mine and I made him kiss me. I didn't let him stop I just kissed him until we had French kissed me for about five minutes. Then I stopped and said, “Did that kiss signify how much you love me?”

“No, what I want to do will signify how much I love you.”

“What would that be?”

“Something that hurt you really badly the first time it happened to you.”

“So your saying you want to have sex with me?”

“You could say that.”

“I'll see you later, Matt.”

“Bye, I love you.”

“I love you too.” After I said that Matt vanished. A minute after Matt left I walked outside and told Christopher that Matt was gone.

“You wanted to ask me something?” I ask.

“Yes I do. Do you remember the dream you had at Daniel's house?”

“The one about the sharp object under your nail dream?'

“Yeah that's it!”

“What about it?”

“Well I've had a dream of my own and instead of me in the chair it was you in the chair.”

“Owww, serious pain,” I said as I massaged my fingers.

“Yeah lots of pain. That person doing that is unknown but he is, I bet, part of a group.”

“How do you know he is part of a group”

“I've had the dream many times and I saw a symbol on his hand. Hand me a piece of paper and I'll show you what it looks like.”

I looked around and I found some scratch paper that I had by the phone. I gave the paper and a pen to Christopher. Christopher took the paper and sketched the symbol for me.

“It looks as if they had plenty of time to figure out a good symbol,” I said. “Anyway I have some information that might help us stop this because the nail thing looks and feels painful.”

“Well tell me,” Christopher said.

“First of all the group is called The Devils 30 and my boyfriend was in it.”

“Was?”

“Yeah was. Also what makes this all worse is that Joseiff is in it.”

“I knew something was up with him I just couldn't figure it out. Is there more?”

“Now I know why I was raped.”

“Who? Why?”

“Joseiff raped me because from what I can figure Joseiff wanted me to think it was Matt that raped me so we would for some reason break up.”

“But why?”

“That I don't know. It could be that he wants me or it could be that he was getting back at Matt for quitting the group.”

“It could have been his job.”

“Maybe, who really knows?”

“Anyway, we are supposed to be getting to know on another. So lets stop talking about this for now and talk about us.”

“Okay, What do you want to know first?” I said as I grabbed a Diet Coke from the refrigerator. “Forgive me do you want a drink?”

“I would like to try what your drinking,” Christopher said calmly.

“Diet Coke then, but I warn you it will have a bite to it.” After I said that and gave Christoper the drink he opened the can, took a large swallow and he coughed.

“Owwww, What ever this stuff is on the top went into my nose!”

“I told you it had a bite to it,” I said giggling.

“That's not funny!”

“Sorry you just have this look on your face that is so funny. That stuff on the top is what I and the rest of America calls fizz.”

“Well it hurts.”

“Anyway, anything you want to tell me about before I start prying you for information?”

“Not really.”

“What no embarrassing moments, no ex-girlfriends, no brothers or sisters?”

“I do have a sister but I don't remember much about her.”

“How's that?”

“Well it's kinda embarrassing yet again its sad.”

“Just tell me.”

“She ran away from home when I was about five. She was about fourteen at the time.”

“Oh, do you know why she left?”

“No, but she told me before she left that she would come back for me one day.”

“Interesting. Did she come back?”

“No. I want to know if she is safe or not.”

“Do you remember her name?”

“No but I remember it had to do with a clear gem.”

“Chrystal perhaps?”

“Maybe, I can't remember.”

“Oh well, it will be okay.”

“It will.”

My stomach growled and I said, “I'm getting hungry do you want pizza or tacos?”

“Will it choke me like the Diet Coke fizz did?”

“No it is either really hot, spicy hot or both.”

“I think I'll go with spicy hot.”

“Okay, tacos it is.” I picked up the phone, called Taco Bell and ordered our meal. After I hung up the phone I said, “They said it would be a few minutes.”

“That's fine with me. In the mean time do you want me to show you a trick?”

“What type of trick?”

“Just a simple magic trick.”

“I guess...what are you going to do?”

“Just close your eyes.”

“Oh, I know this one you make me not able to sleep...”

“No, not that trick somethin'...better.”

“Okay.” I closed my eyes and Christopher said a few words. Then I felt a small wind quickly brush by.

“Now open.” Christopher said.

I opened my eyes and Christopher was holding the most beautiful bouquet' of flowers I have ever seen. “Chris, I...I...are those for me?”

“Is there anyone else in the room?” I looked around looking for someone else, “Yeah, there for you. I searched the galaxy for them.”

“Thank you, there gorgeous,” I said giving Christopher a hug. “But why for me? Searched the galaxy?”

“Well, I quickly left, hence the small wind, to search the galaxy for the flowers and...I...I know your dating Matt but...”

“I understand, if things don't work out I might go out with you.”

We began climbing down the many flights of stairs while Joseiff met with his evil friends.

“Great job but you were a bit harsh. You were supposed to scare Jenniffer a little bit. You weren't supposed to scare the shit out of her! Imbeciles!” Joseiff said to the hooded figure before him.

“Sir, we are sorry. For next time we are planning to have some fun with Jenniffer and maybe torcher the guys with some of the girls showing off there stuff.” said one of the men who took off his hood.

“I see where your going with this but lets add a bit of a twist to it.”

“What are you talking about?” said a womans voice.

“Why don't you let me be captured next time then you release me after you say a few words in my language...” the door slamming behind him interrupted him. He turned around to see a hooded figure walk in and place itself behind the group.

“Anyway one of you can make it seem like you have control of me and I have my way with Jenniffer to make it look...” Joseiff signaled for an answer.

“To make it look like you can't help it and it would appear to be an uncontrolled action,” said the womans voice again.

“Thank You! I am so glad only one of you is actually paying attention to me. Sometimes I swear you all have no brain,” Joseiff said sounding cross.

“Which girls should we pick because we need about four, two for each guy, right?” said the man who had taken off his hood.

“Correct!”

“I'll volunteer,” said a woman walking up to the front of the group. As she walked she unzipped her cloak and let it fall to the ground. The woman was small waisted. She had large double-D breasts and an ass any man; married or not would grab.

“Oh, baby. I've missed you,” Joseiff said as the woman walked up to his side.

“I've missed you too my...” She couldn't finish because Joseiff grabbed her, pulled her to him and began kissing her. As there kiss progressed into a French kiss the room remained quiet.

After a few moments Joseiff stopped and said, “You haven't changed a bit have you Chrystal?”

“Nope,” Chrystal replied. “Baby.”

“Yes, my she devil?” Joseiff said.

“Do you want me to be bad with one of those boys?” she said running her pointer finger across his face.

“If my devil wants too,” Joseiff said as he grabbed Chrystal's ass with one hand and sneaked his other hand up to Chrystal's breast.

“If I do this what is my payment?” Chrystal said as she moved Joseiff's hand from her breast to her waist.

“Would you want to get lost in my king size bed tonight?” Joseiff said in a pouty voice.

“If I am to punish you, my bad boy,” Chrystal said after she ran her tounge across her lips.

“Any time baby doll, any time!” Joseiff said shaking his head. “Any more volunteers?”

“We'll do it,” two female voices said.

“Who are you two?”

“We are twin female virgins with double-D's lookin' for trouble,” they chimed.

“Well ladies that will be your first job under me but first you'll have to be broken in by our newest brother's.”

“It will be a privilege and an honor sir,” a pair of males said as they stepped up beside the girls.

“Thank you Donte and Alucard.” As Joseiff said this Donte and Alucard picked up one of the two girls, threw her over his shoulder and walked off toward the door behind Joseiff. The members of the group stayed quiet as they heard two bodies being thrown onto mattresses, clothes being ripped and the girls cries for help began.

“Anyway lets get back to business. Who will be our final lady that will get the honor of torchering my brother and Christoper?” Everyone of the members remained silent. “What?! No love wanting, two timing wenches want to screw with my brother or Christopher?” The silence remained. “Have you all got blue balls or something? None of ya'll want to screw the spitting image of me? I'm going to have to draft ya'll since you all are gettin' cold feet. Candy you have the job.”

Candy opened her mouth to protest, “But...But...”

“No buts Candy. It's your own damn fault for not taking any of these kinds of jobs when they were offered as volunteer work.”

“Yes sir,” Candy said quietly.

“Now that is settled Chrystal and Candy will go for Christoper and the other girls will go after Matt since he is a sucker for hot, twin chicks. Any questions?”

“Just one, where are we going to take them to get torchered” A young male voice said.

“Why not where you last took them?” Chrystal said.

“Have you been spying on me?” Joseiff said as he grabbed Chrystal by the waist.

“Yes, I have to know how my baby is doing.”

Joseiff chuckled then said, “Baby you are so smart. I think the old hotel would be a great place. All in favor raise your hand.” When Joseiff said this all the members raised there hand.

“All agree baby.”

“Great, this meeting is over. Now I think I owe you some over due love and payment. Do you want one at a time or do you want both?”

“Give me a pill and I'll tell you,” Chrystal said as she grabbed Joseiff by his long sandy blond hair and pulled him down to where he was kissing her.

Joseiff stopped kissing Chrystal and said, “Baby, lets go get that pill and that answer because I'm feeling like being really ruff with you.”

“Ooo, I like it really ruff my devilish little boy and besides I haven't screamed in a long time.”

“Well, lets go fix that problem. Shall we?” Joseiff said as he walked with Chrystal to the door opposite the door Donte and Alucard went into. Then Joseiff walked Chrystal into the room.

A few moments later Chrystal's screams and her cries for mercy could be heard from behind the door.

When I woak my senses had returned and I found my self on a cold, hard, floor bound and gagged. I sat up and began examining my surroundings. They were dark except for a few figures that I couldn't see very well. As I continued to search the room my eyes saw Joseiff's sword.

“Uhhmm,” I heard behind me and I turned my head to see a figure sitting itself up. Then another sound came from my right. Another figure was sitting up. I strained my eyes to where I could see the figure of Joseiff. As I turned myself back around to try and figure out what the other figure was a bright light came on above me. The light blinded me so I couldn't see to well.

“It is so nice to finally meet you Jenniffer.” I glanced up and saw a tall hooded figure standing a few feet in front of me. “Boy's it is nice to see you too.”

The hooded figure walked toward me, squatted, picked up my head with one hand and with the other snapped his fingers. After he snapped his fingers a dagger appeared. He let go of my face, got up and walked toward Joseiff twirling the dagger as if it were a baton When the hooded figure got behind Joseiff and he put the dagger to Joseiff's throught. Joseiff looked at me and the hooded figure snapped his fingers again and a double of him squatted in front of Joseiff. The double removed his hood and Joseiff's eyes got wide. The double grabbed Joseiff's face, made Joseiff look him dead in the eyes and said, “Why do you look so nervous Joseiff?”

The hooded figure behind Joseiff took the dagger and placed it on Joseiff's throught. Then the figure slowly moved the dagger from side to side digging the dagger deeper and deeper into Joseiff's neck. As blood began to come from the wound the figure behind Joseiff stopped and stood up. The man in front of Joseiff got up as well snapped his fingers and the hooded figure disappeared and the gag on my mouth disappeared too.

“Joseiff are you okay? Why did you do that?” I said looking at Joseiff then to the man.

Joseiff looked at me. Blood began to drip more from the wound on his neck as he tried to speak.

“He's fine...,” the man paused for a few seconds then said, “...for now. Why do you think I did that?” Joseiff fell to the floor.

“I don't know? Where's Chris?” I said with a worried tone building in my voice.

The man looked me strait in the eye, blinked and said, “He's behind you.”

I turned around and I saw Christopher lying face down on the floor still as he could be. I looked at the man and said, "What have you done? Why isn't he moving?” I heard a grone. I looked at Christopher and I saw he was trying to get up. I heard the man snap his fingers again and my hands and feet became free. I got up and ran over to Christopher who had fallin' down on his face. When I got to him there was a small puddle of blood on the floor. I looked at Christopher's mouth and I found the blood was coming from his mouth. I turned Christopher over, sat him up and put my ear to his chest. He was barely breathing.

“Ohh, you evil bitch, what did you do?”

“I didn't do anything.”

“How can you say you didn't do anything, so calmly. They are dieing and you are just standing there as if you are a stone statue.”

“I didn't do anything I swear....,” A loud bang and flying dust interrupted the man. “What the hell?”

“You weren't expecting me were you?” I heard through the dust. When the dust cleared I saw it was Matt.

“Matt!”

“Hey guy's. Did you miss me?”

“How did you find me?” the man said angrily.

“I might tell you later.” Matt replied.

“Matt, Hello! If you don't mind, less sarcasm, more help me!” I screamed at Matt.

Matt nodded and leaped toward the man. The man casually took a step to the side.

“Try again you weak Half-Breed!” Matt leaped for the man again. Matt hit the man and knocked him on his back.

Then Matt held the mans arms down and said, “Who's the weak half-breed now Alucard?”

“Great accuracy but wrong brother. Til' next time.” The man said then he grinned, blinked and disappeared.

When he disappeared Christopher mouth and Joseiff's neck quit bleeding and the ropes binding Joseiff fell to the ground.

“That was odd,” Christopher said getting up off the ground.

“No, that was painful and painfully odd,” Joseiff said rubbing his neck.

“Oh Yeah!” I said.

“Well we better start going down the stairs we've got a long way to go since you are all so tired.”

“Stairs?” I said confused.

“You didn't know, you're on the 100th floor of the abandoned, old hotel a block from Jenniffer's place,” Matt explained.

“How did you get up here so fast?” I said.

“I climbed up the side to about the 99th floor, then I climbed into a window and raced my butt up these stairs like my ass was on fire.”

I walked ahead of Matt, turned around and held up my hand signaling him to stop. After he stopped I said, “Did you climb up this building just for me?”

“Yes, Jenniffer I did,” Matt said. After he said that I began to cry as I looked up into his sapphire, blue eyes.

He hugged me and said, “It's okay, your safe now.” I let him go and he leaned down, grabbed me by the waist and kissed me.

“Awww, a Kodak moment,” Joseiff said in a mocking voice.

I let Matt go, walked up the steps to Joseiff, looked him in the eyes and said, “How dare you...?” I raised my fist up to where Joseiff could see it. I pulled my fist back preparing to punch him as hard as I could. Before I began pushing my fist forward for the punch Christopher grabbed my fist. Christopher lowered my hand, turned me around and made me walk down the steps to where I was next to Matt. After Christopher placed me beside Matt, he grabbed my hand from Christopher and Matt began slowly walking me down the stairs.

After I took a few steps I stopped and said, “Joseiff, you and Christopher were almost killed and you come up with the sarcastic line of 'Awww, a Kodak moment.' What the hell is your problem?”

“I'm sorry! I was trying to lighten up the moment.” Joseiff said plainly.

“Now is not the time to be funny or the time to 'lighten up the moment'!” I yelled as I spun around to face Joseiff. After turning around I gave Joseiff a look that said 'I'm going to kill you if you say another word'.

“You know I think I'll leave ya'll and I will see you later,” Joseiff said. Then Joseiff vanished.

“Where'd he go?” I said.

“He left because we read your mind and we saw you are seriously ready to kill,” Matt said calmly.

“Oh!” I said in a snappy tone, “Now lets go.”

“Do you want me to carry you?” Christopher said as sweetly as he could.

“Thank you but I think I need about ten flights of stairs to cool off enough to not be able to kill anyone in my path if they breath wrong.”

“Okay,” Christopher said, “I'll ask after ten flights.”

While the boys were having there conversation I walked to the front and as I walked out Joseiff was talking to Master Daniel.

“I'm ready,” I said interrupting

“Well... It's 'bout time.” Joseiff said.

“Joseiff,...behave yourself,” Daniel said correcting Joseiff's behavior.

“I'm sorry sir.”

“Quite alright. remember when you get there you are supposed to only stay one night and come back you hear?”

“Yes, Master Daniel.”

Daniel looks in my direction and says, “I have thought about your training and well...you will be glad to know that I release you from training”

“Why Sir?”

“Well I think you have had enough torcher for a while and if you want to know anything more send a message with Joseiff and he will give it to me.”

“Thank you sir. I won't forget to ask,” I said as Christopher walked out of the house. A smile began to form on my face.

Christopher had a serious look on his face as if trying to let something sink in or trying to understand everything he needed to do. He walked up to the three of us and said, “Are we ready?”

“I know I am,” I said growing more excited by the minute.

“I am,” Joseiff said in a solemn tone.

“Don't sound so glum I might start calling you Mr. Glum or Puddle of Glum if you don't,” I said poking him childishly in the arm.

“Hey, quit...,” he laughs as I start poking him in the stomach and chest area,”...stop!”

“That's better!" I said smiling. “Now lets be off!”

“Yeah lets go before she starts poking me,” Christopher smiled.

“See you another day Jenniffer,” Daniel said hugging me.

“I hope so sir.”

We all waved goodbye as we walked away from the school. After I turned around I began thinking about what I needed to do when I got home.

“Well, how long will we be walking?” Christopher asked.

“About an hour,”Joseiff said.

“Oh man, I forgot. Now one of you will probably have to carry me!” I said thinking of how I will feel later.

“I will,” Christopher said volunteering.

“How sweet. Thank you,” I said sweetly.

After a while I said to Joseiff, “I am getting hot, can you put me into some shorts or something?”

“Sure. Come here.” I walked over to Joseiff and he did what Matt did. He changed me into my Daisy Duke shorts and small T-shirt.

“Thank you,” I replied.

“Your welcome,” Joseiff said as I bent over to stretch my legs a little. While Joseiff said this I looked over at Christopher who's eyes had grown a little wider than normal and was focused on my ass.

“Christopher,” I said his look didn't change. I stood up strait and said, “Christoper, my face is up here.” He he began moving his eyes to my face but then his eyes stopped at my breasts. “Christopher...do you want some of this?” I said messing with his head. He nodded. “Then come here.” He began staggering toward me like he was half-way sober. I smiled at him and he picked up his walking speed.

When he got to me he grabbed my waist and said, “God have mercy!”

After he said that he leaned toward my neck. Before he got there I said, “Christopher,” he looked up. “You'll have to stop.”

"Why,” he said whining.

“Because I'm not dating you!” while I said that I slapped him across the face and he came back to reality. How I knew was because he let me go.

“Oww, why'd you do that?” he said as he massaged his face.

“You were in La La Land.”

“But...but oww,” Christopher stammered

“Next time I won't aim so high!” I said as my eyes wandered toward his lower torso.

He backed up about three paces and said, “I want to keep those.”

“That's better, now lets continue on or do I need to slap you again?”

“Not at this minute,” Christopher said keeping his distance form me. I wheeled around looked at Joseiff and he shook his head signaling he was staying away.

“Good,” I said as I signaled to Joseiff to lead on.

About twenty minutes later I tapped Christoper on the shoulder. He turned around, started walking backwards and said, “Yes?”

“I'm about to fall can you carry me now?” I ask sweetly.

“Yeah,” he said as he stopped and picked me up under my arms and behind my back.

“I meant on your back.”

“Oh sorry.” Christoper put me down and turned around.

I hopped on to his back and said, “Your like a puppy. I gotta train you.”

“Remember who you have to train first?” Joseiff said.

“I can train two at once,” I smiled.

“I...uh...I'll shut up now,” Christopher said.

“Good idea,” Joseiff said.

A while later Joseiff stopped and said, “Somethin' doesn't feel right. Chris put Jenniffer down slowly.”

Christopher put me down and prepaired to fight. Joseiff put his ear to the ground and he listened. After a few seconds he picked up his head and shook his head signaling everything was okay but to stay alert.

It wasn't five minutes when we all heard the shuffling of leaves behind us. We all stopped dead in our tracks. We all spun around to see what it was but we saw nothing.

We all continued walking again. I hardly took five steps when these ten ninja like people jumped from the trees and bushes. Joseiff pulled out his sword and Christopher raised his fists. I shrank scared behind Christoper. The ninjas each pulled out a bottle full full of a clear liquid. They opened the bottles and a gas filled the air. Christopher and Joseiff lowered there weapons and fists. My head became light. I saw the boys begin to stagger about trying to get to me. As I began walking toward them I couldn't walk in a straight line. The boys fell to the ground and the ninja like people moved and grabbed Christopher first. He swung his arms but to avail . They grabbed his arms bound and gagged him as he stopped moving. When They got to Joseiff he was unconscious on the ground. Then all went black and I fell to the ground. My sense of touch was still in tact so I felt the ropes and gag being forced on to my wrists and mouth. Then all my senses vanished.

I walked my way into the house and found Julie in the room where I, for the first time, had dinner in Master Daniel's house. Julie was sitting in a chair toward a picture of a beautiful samurai woman. She was dressed in a kimono decorated with Japanese horses and dragons. The young woman was holding two long slinder swords to make an X. They were depicted glowing with fire. Her hair was long, wavy and the color of flames.

“Its a beautiful painting.” As I said this Mrs. Julie jumped in surprise.

“Oh dear, you scared me.”

“I am sorry. I thought you heard me walk in. I guess I am a lighter treader than I thought.”

“It is quite alright. Would you like to know more about this painting?”

“I'd like to, I love history.”

“This young woman was painted by a soothsayer. He said one day a she would have a companion that would helper defeat an evil being. She wouldn't know about her destiny until it was revealed the hardest way possible for her.”

“Interesting Was there a name given to her?”

“No, but it was said that she was known as the 'Rymv-Tasuh, Rymv-Risyh Deknacc'. Translated into your language is the 'Half-Demon, Half-Human Tigress'.”

“I would like a nickname like that.”

“You will get your name one day.”

“Really? How?”

“Once you pass training under Daniel, show your inner strength and what your strength depicts from nature.”

“I don't understand?”

“You will know one day. Time and patience are one of the main things that will show what you are.”

Mrs. Julie was, to me, speaking in riddles. I couldn't grasp what she said.

"Mrs. Julie I hate to rush and I would love to hear more but I am leaving soon and I need to make sure I have everything. I need to get the chopsticks I had in my hair and I must leave.”

“I will miss you dear,” she said as she hugged me. She let me go and I went to get the chopsticks from the confinement room, as I now call it.

When I walked in Matt was sitting on the floor with his back to the wall. After I walked in he looked up at me and stared.

“Have a problem?”

“No, I just wanna know why you're acting all funny.”

“How am I acting?” I said ticked off.

“You are acting like you don't love me for some reason, and I wanna know why Master Daniel is acting weird too.”

“Why don't you ask him yourself? Also if you don't remember last night you are crazy!” I snapped.

“What happened...,” he said surprised.

I turned around and gave him the dirtiest look I could and said, “You lying Son of a...”

“I fixed your necklace Oh, was I cutting in?” Christopher interrupted as he walked in and held out my necklace in his right hand.

I snatched the necklace from him, put it on and said, “Not at all.” I stomped out of the room.

“What happened, is she okay?” Christopher said.

“I don't know, she said something about last night.”

“Did she give any details or did I walk in?”

“You walked in.”

“My bad. You don't seem yourself are you okay?”

“I'm fine. Why are you worried about it?” Matt said sounding tweaked.

“Sorry, I won't ask next time she leaves you...”

Matt stands and interrupts, “She's Not Leaving Me!” His voice began to rise.

“I was just saying she will leave you here.”

“I don't want her to leave," he said as he slid back down to the floor. “I love her really. I know I will hurt her one day so I might as well let her go but I am going to be good to her as long as I can.”

“Good to know. Anything you wanna tell me to do special for her since you won't be there?”

“Keep her safe.” Matt pauses. “Protect her...please?” Silence fills the room and no sound is heard until Matt breaks the silence by silently crying.

“You care for her a lot don't you?”

“More than...,” he sniffles, “...more than she knows.”

“I will do my best to keep her safe." Christopher says comfortingly to Matt.

A few minutes later I was with Daniel and he ask, “What is the matter with you?!”

“Sir, last night Matt...uh...umm...acted more like a husband than a boyfriend”

“What do you mean?'

“Sir I can't say more than that because Matt is...being that way.”

“Did he do something?” I nodded fearcly. “What you told us this morning was the opposite of what you said?” I began to nod my head to signal that it was true when Matt walked by and forced me to shake my head no.

“Answer me truthfully. Did...”

“Sorry to interrupt but Matt is behind you. Matt, honey how are you?”

“I am great.”

“Matthew can I talk to you and Jenniffer for a bit?”

“Sure I don't see any reason why not.”

“Please, lets but before we do may I say something.”

“Yes." I used my finger to signal Daniel to move closer to me.

Then I whispered, “One of us will be lying,” into Daniel's ear. He nodded in what seemed to be agreement.

“Well, lets start. What is going on?" Matt said looking at me.

“Matthew I know you are in love with Jenniffer but I believe that something is wrong.”

“What could be wrong, we are as happy as we can be, or at least I think so,” Matt looked at me again.

“Daniel, I am worried about things at home. I really need to get back to my regular lessons and such.”

“What is the problem?”

“I would like to go home and I want a bit of time to myself, because we all need some alone time. You know that.” I said trying to drop hints to Daniel about being together.

“What are you saying that you don't want me anymore?”

“Oh, No, No, No! Not at all I was just saying that maybe Christopher could take me home and we could perhaps get to know one another since we will be classmates,” dropping yet another hint.

“Well, it can be arranged. Are you sure you don't want Matthew to go with you?”

“I am sure, it will give us some time alone and some time to collect ourselves so we can feel more in love when I return.”

“Okay, well I guess it is decided Christopher will take you home tomorrow.”

“Why can't I go today?”

“We have to say our goodbye's and such.”

“True but if she wants to go today I don't see any reason why not.”

“Well, Christopher doesn't know how to get her home.”

“Joseiff can guide him there and leave. It would make it easier on Christopher.”

“Everything is set go pack your things and you will be off. Matthew go round up Christopher and your brother.”

“Yes sir.” As Matt left he sent me a message that said, 'What are you doing I thought we were inseparable.' He stopped and looked around and then sent me another that said, 'If he does anything I will personally kill him. Ripping him apart piece-by-piece'.

I thought about how nice it would be to get away from Matt and what he was doing to me. Then I thought I might try and tell Daniel what happened while Matt was gone.

“Master Daniel.”

“Yes.”

“I hope I may say this with out sounding like a stuttering fool but Matt he...um... raped me.”

“He what!?!”

“He raped me sir, last night in the room.”

“Oh dear, poor child,” He said as he hugged me as a mother would after finding out that her daughter was safely returned from the clutches of a murderer. “How horrible, no wonder you had such a determination to...” Daniel wasn't able to finish because Matt walked up with Joseiff and Christopher, one on ether side of him. Daniel released me and acted as if he were casually talking to me.

“Are you ready to go?” Joseiff said.

“Why she hasn't even packed yet!” Daniel said.

“She only brought what she is wearing,” Joseiff said quickly.

“Oh, well I would advise you to say goodbye to Julie and tell her that you will be back soon.”

“Yes sir,” I said smiling greatfully because I was relieved that someone knew about Matt and what he'd done.

As I walked away from Master Daniel and the guys, Daniel told the boys that he would like to talk to Christopher alone.

After we ate we all headed to our rooms that were changed around a bit. The room Matt and I slept in the night before was now our new room. Before Matt and I were allowed to leave the table Mr. Daniel told us that we would be getting some privacy for the rest of the visit. He also said that we were allowed to sleep together without any one else in the room. The room was sound proof which made it better. After we got into our room Matt looked me in the eye, started walking toward me and gave me an evil look that scared me.

“Matt, your scaring me.” As I said this I backed myself away from him.

Matt continued to walk toward me with the look still on his face. I walked back so much that I fell flat on my back on to the king sized bed that me and Matt were to sleep in. He came up to me tore at the top of his outfit until it fell off of his torso. He was only wearing the pants of the outfit. I lay still as he did this because I was to scared to move. Then he grabbed my arm and slung me against the wall. I fell to the floor as he walked toward me grinning mincingly My heart began to pound in my chest growing louder and louder by the minute. When he reached me he grabbed my hair and pulled me up. I clawed at him with my fingernails but it didn't phase him. After I was on my feet he began forcefully taking off my baby t-shirt and undoing my bra.

“Daniel, help!”

“Have you forgotten the room is sound proof? We are alone with no one to hear you scream”

After he said that I got away from him. I went to the door to try and escape but the door wouldn't open. He turned, laughed then said, “The door is locked so there is no way out.” My heart skipped a beat.

Soon after Matt grabbed my wrist threw me on the bed, came over and pulled the blankets over us. I struggled to get away from him but he held me down like he did the day I found out he turned into a full fledged demon. As he did the chains that held me down the night before locked themselves around my wrists. I was more frightened than ever, my heart was beating faster than it had ever before.

“Matt stop your scaring me!!” I screamed but Matt didn't stop. He continued to were he was taking off my pants. As I lay there struggling I knew I was being taken over by the person I trusted the most. After my pants were removed the chains moved to were they bound my feet to the bed. My feet were spread about two feet apart. Matt took his hand and began feeling around my hip area. When he touched between my thighs I felt a longing for something that was only satisfied by something I knew of. I had never had it happen to me and Matt was forcing me into it!

“Don't do this!”

“I have not had this happen in a long time! I won't back down now.”

“MATT, No you...AHH...” I screamed in agony as Matt sexually harassed me. No one could hear me, no one could see me, and no one could help me. I was like a doll that was perishing from the torchers of a young destructive child.

The harassment lasted throughout the night and I cried as the act continued. Matt every once in a while French kissed me to stop my screaming, or bit my neck to draw blood.

At about 2 o'clock Matt stopped dressed himself and then said something in his language. After he said that everything got blurry and I became mute, I couldn't talk! Then I heard him say, “That was the best Jenny. Tomorrow, You will remember what happened but saying it will be a nightmare. Tomorrow you will have the same and the feelings shall remain even the pain of the first time you had it.” There was a pause and he then said, "I shall now let you sleep peacefully to where you will have energy for tomorrow night." Then everything went black.

I woak up the next morning remembering everything that happened. I was unchained, completely clothed and was allowed to leave the room. As I left I had a feeling that told me that I needed to be uncontrollable and unable to be handled I quickly went to my necklace and threw it to the ground where it broke into pieces My mind changed quickly from calm and educated to dangerous and blood bound. I let my self wander the house until I came to Joseiff's room. I burst in and I leaped for him. He woak with a jolt, after I burst through the door, and quickly said something. My vision became blurry and I lost all my senses except for touch. I was now blind to the world I couldn't go anywhere because I hardly knew the floor from a hole in the ground. I jumped in many directions but only hit walls, face first. I bounced off the walls trying to get to what I wanted most, blood. Then all of a sudden I felt a strong force push me down. It was what felt like hands holding me down. After I was restrained by the hands I felt a thick honey like substance go down my throught. A few minutes later the hands that held me down let go. I was free to move about. I started to go after the blood I longed for once more. Then I started to lose the thirst for blood, it was disappearing

“I want to stay this way don't do this,” I said as my senses returned and I saw Daniel, Joseiff, Christopher and Matt keep there distance from me.

“Jenniffer, what are you taking about?” I heard Joseiff say.

“I want to be in control, I lost that last night!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Matt made...let me...made...let me have sex with him...no thats... true. I made love with Matt and we...I didn't...did love it.” I said trying to say that Matt had raped me, but my words kept changing to where I said I had sex with him on purpose!

“Jenniffer are you okay?” Christopher said.

“It is the after affects of the potion. It will ware off in a few minutes.,” Daniel said.

“No its not...its me telling you that I was... loved by Matt...no I was...” I continued to babble on.

I heard Joseiff say, “Ed'c dra budeuh,” to Christopher. He nodded in reply and then looked at me and told me through his mind that he would talk to me later.

After that Matt looked me in the eye and gave me an evil grin. I knew exactly what was wrong, it wasn't the potion, it was Matt. He was making me say things that I didn't mean to say. I knew that I was going to have no chance to tell anyone the secret. What was I to do?

When I woke up, I was staring into Matt's blue eyes. I blinked a few times and I tried to sit up and see where I was but I couldn't. I was still chained to the bed of the special room I was placed in

“Can I sit up at least? It is killing my back that I can't rollover.”

“Daniel,” Matt called, “....she is awake.”

“Good, now let us tell her how it went or do you remember?”

“I remember the thirst for blood. I don't want to be like that it was hard to relive that and remember how your faces looked. Matt's face was the hardest to remember.”

“I remember how I felt after I injured Daniel for the first time and how I begged and begged for his forgiveness for the week after.”

“I remember it quite well, you annoyed the crap out of me that week.”

“Is she okay?” I heard Mrs. Daniel call from the hallway.

“She's just fine, dear,” Daniel said.

“Excuse me, I just hate to interrupt but I would LOVE to sit up!” I said loudly.

“Sorry Jenniffer I forgot.”

“Will you have one made before tonight?” Matt said sounding worried, scared and at the point of tears.

“I believe I will have her a new piece of jewelry made by mid-afternoon. It will be made of her true colors.”

After I heard that I knew I was a half-demon now and I would have to wear a collar, for the rest of my life.

“I almost forgot we have a new student. I think Jenniffer would like to meet her new 'classmate'.”

“That would be nice,” I said enthused.

“Well lets go.”

“Could I talk to Matt a minute?”

“Just a minute,' Daniel said, as he left.

After he left I fell to my knees as I stared into space as it I were blind. Matt went to his knees in front of me.

“What am I going to do, I was like a blood thirsty vampire.”

“I, I know it is hard to deal with but we'll make it together. I'll make sure of it.” After he told me this he grabbed my chin, made me face him and kissed me gently on the lips. Then he said, “I love you.”

I began to cry as I pulled my face from him and said, “I love you too.”

“Well, come on the new student is waiting,” Matt said as he got up and reached for my hand. I gave him my hand still crying softly. When I was on my feet Matt smiled at me, lifted his hands to my face and wiped my tears away. I smiled at him as I looked in to his eyes.

“Lets go.” We left out the door hand in hand and walked to the front of the school. As we walked I thought of who this new student would be.

When we got to the unopened door of the school Matt stopped me and said, “I think I know what would make you feel better.” He grabbed me by the arm pulled me to the side, made me back up against the wall and gave me a French kiss.

I pulled from him and said, “Stop! I not in a playing mood right now.”

“Okay.” He said but in his mind he thought 'I will try again later'.

Then we walked out and I saw a young man with black hair with white tips. “Hey I know you You are the guy from my dream!" I said loudly. The young man gave me a crazy look. Then he looked strait into my eyes and sent me a message through his mind.

His message was, 'I am Christopher. I know you saw me in a dream but I wish you would be more quiet about it'!

“Sorry, I didn't know. I am Jenniffer, I am honored to meet you.” I said as I let my head fall to the side. I was examining his features. His dress was that of the dream. Looking into his eyes was like looking through clear blue water with the white caps making a circle around the pupil. His face was that of an old crush of mine in my high school years. I was stund at how I could talk to him so calmly without stuttering or losing my words.

“No problem. Name's Christopher.”

“Nice to met you. My name is Matthew, I would prefer Matt. Would you like something to eat?” Matt said sounding a bit jealous.

“Yeah, I would, thank you. Jenniffer I hope Matt won't mind if we have a word.”

Matt gave him a short evil look and said, “Why not? Hurry up, the food will get cold.” Matt sent me a message through his mind that said, 'I don't like him. Keep away from him.' I looked toward Matt and nodded.

Christopher gave me the sign to follow him and I did. We walked away from the school and led me into the trees. After he led me to a thicket he said, “I wish you wouldn't have done that.”

“Sorry, I didn't know. I was surprised to see you because of the dream or what ever it was.”

“I know but anyway the dream you saw was of me and what was in it will probably happen sooner or later. I think in time it'll show up again but longer and more detailed. It might change.”

“What, I get to see a classmate suffer more than that?”

“Yeah, afraid so. I think there will be a bigger twist on it though.”

“What, I don't think it will get any worse.” I said getting anxious.

“What's going on. Jenniffer is he trying to kiss you?” I heard Matt say as he walked into the clearing.

“Nothing is going on.”

As I said that and glanced in Matt's direction, Matt sent me a message. 'I don't trust him. Walk back to the school now.' “Daniel wanted to see you before lunch.”

'I will talk to you later. Come here t'night.'

“Okay, okay, okay, I am going. Is Master Daniel in the dinning room?”

“He is,” Matt said blankly signifying that he was really jealous.

I walked away from the two boys. They seemed to be waiting for me to leave. After I left I wound my way back to the school. My wanderings left me a few cuts but nothing that wouldn't heal quickly.

When I got back to the school Daniel was in front waiting on me as Matt had said. I walked up to him and said, “Sir you wanted to see me.”

“Aye, I did I finished your necklace.” He smiled at me and pulled a red yellow, and orange beaded necklace. The bead in the front had an emblem of fire on it.

“Thank you Sir.” I carefully grabbed the necklace put it on with great care.

“You are welcome, I believe it suites you well.”

“Come on I am starving,” I heard Joseiff say from the school door.

“Lets go before Joseiff starves to death,” I said grinning.

“Lets wait for the boys I see they are coming.”

“Go on in. We will be there in a minute,” Matt yelled to us.

I walked in and found a delicious meal of stake, mashed potatoes, cream corn, and corn bread.

“Wow Mrs. Daniel you have out done yourself this time,” I said as I scanned the dinner table.

“Oh dearie, I just felt like maken' this night more special than us'al.” I looked over at her and she winked at Daniel. Surprisingly he smiled at her and winked back.

I walked over to Mrs. Daniel and said, “Someone seems happy. Did something happen?”

“Youngin' it is nothin' you need to worry over.”

“Yes ma'am,” I said acting as if I was not to concerned with the matter. 'I bet something is going to happen tonight that hasn't happened in a long time. I think a little somethin' somethin' is in order for tonight,' I thought.

“Lets eat shall we?” Joseiff said.

“Lets,” I said as Matt and Christopher walked in.

After I was chained up Daniel ask Matt out side the room what was coming. Matt told him that it was a young man that needed to speak with him. After Matt told Daniel that, Daniel threw Matt into the room and wouldn't let him out. Daniel told him that it would be his last test as a student. Matt was given a regular bed since he had the collar on. As I laid on the bed Matt and I began talking.

“I hate you have to be in here.” I said as I looked at the ground.

“It will be okay,” he said covering his face with his hands. Then he mumbled some thing as his hair fell to cover his face as well.

“What?”

“I don't want to be here it hurts to much it will be a living nightmare for me.” As he said this he removed his hands from his face. His hair was still covering his face but I saw a tear fall from his eye when he put the hair on the right side over his shoulder.

“This test will end tomorrow morning and you will be able to do as you please,” I said trying to be positive.

“I get to see how I look, if everything goes according to plan, when I am a monster...killer...murderer” Matt, as he said this, went to the farthest corner of the room and sat down in a fetal position. I felt so sorry for him. I didn't know what to tell him all I could do was be silent. Then I got an idea and smiled.

“Do you want to see if I can change into a half-demon form and give those fantastic kisses that you have given me back?” I said in a kind a mincing way.

“What do you mean?' Matt ask.

“I mean to turn into a half demon and kiss you with fangs or give you a little bite.” I said as I ran my tongue over my top lip.

“Do you want to try it?”

“What do you think?” I said as sexy as I could. After I said that Matt was like a lost puppy. I had him were I really wanted him. He came up to me set me up and began telling me how I would maybe change.

“First, close your eyes...then you um...think of what you want to become and...uh...clear every thing out of your head but that,” he stuttered I did and then I felt my hair getting longer and fangs growing in my mouth. I had become one of the half-demons of the school.

Then I heard an echoing sound that said, “One test down.”

“Wow, you look amazing,” Matt said in awe. After he said that there was a small noise that came from behind me. I turned around and I saw what seemed to be a Roman goddess. It was me with long, firey, red colored locks with orange and yellow streaks that resembled the other fire colors. I was amazed at how I looked.

“I guess these are your true colors.”

“I guess they are,” I said fumbling for words.

“Well you want to try that kiss without my teeth but with yours?” I grinned and magic filled the air. I was so excited, but then I felt worry as we finished our kiss. I thought of what would happen at 8:00 o'clock that next morning.

The next morning I got up but I felt different somehow, I couldn't explain it. What am I feeling? It is a type of thirst but I don't know what for. Then I looked over at Matt and I just lost it. I knew when I looked at him that it was the thirst for blood that I was after. I started to walk over to him as he slept but I soon woke Matt up with rattling of the chains. I looked at him as he stared at me. His mouth moved but I didn't hear him. My thirst was growing stronger and the more I stared at Matt the more I yearned for blood. The only sound I heard was the blood rushing through his perfectly young, untouched, juicy, blood filled, neck. I went after him but the chains restrained me and they clanged together but I didn't care I was going to get his blood, it was calling to me. Someone came in the door and I heard another young vein pulse I looked over another young man was in the room. He seemed to have shouted but yet again I heard no sound. I strained at my chains that bound me, to get to the necks that had my untouched blood running through them. All of a sudden I heard an old, slow pulse in my ear. As I looked toward it everything got blurry. I stopped and rubbed my eyes. After I did the blurriness wouldn't go away then I heard a pulse. My eyes searched around but nothing changed. So I sniffed the air. I found my blood. I went after it once more as I strained at my bindings. For a few moments I saw figures of the boys and Master Daniel watching my actions then everything went black.

“I am fine, really,” I said sounding exhausted Daniel came running in with Mrs. Daniel after him.

“What Happened!” Daniel said as he knelt down to help me up.

“I had a nightmare.”

“Tell me what happened,” Daniel said calmly. As I told the story the boys, Mrs. Daniel and Mr. Daniel listened carefully. Daniel responded at the appropriate times. When I finished I was leaning on Matt's shoulder for support.

“Have you ever had a dream this detailed?” Daniel said.

“No sir.”

“You might have developed a sense for seeing into the future or some one may have transfered there powers to you through a cut...” His face changed into a look that said 'I know how this happened'.

“I got cut by Matt yesterday.”

“I know, that is what triggered it. Now you have some of Matt's powers. Seeing into the future was one of them.”

“Will I be able to change shape, and...” I paused then softly said, “will I become uncontrollable?”

The room went from excited and worried to quiet and uncomfortable

“I don't really know. We will see,” Daniel said. “Matt and Joseiff would you...”

The boys nodded and I knew what they were thinking they were going to try an teach me how to use my new found power.

“We can start now if you want,” the guys said sounding embarrassed

“Not right now she one she needs to think on it and two she will need to tell you when she is ready,” Daniel said.

“Daniel, Sir, I...um...I wish to begin now but the thing is that I want to not be getting up at O 300 hours okay.”

“You have a deal, but you are now to call me Master Daniel or Sir do you understand me?”

“Yes Sir.”

“Lets begin in a few moments I feel some thing is coming but I don't know what it could be. Matt go check it out if you please.”

“Yes sir.” Matt swiftly left.

“Joseiff, Go with him to make sure it is not a demon or monster of some sort.”

“Right away.” Joseiff followed Matt out the door.

“Now child,” Daniel turned to me. “I want you to under stand this. I will be as hard as your abilities allow but I must warn you that you are very strong and I shall work you hard. It will seem so hard that it will seem to be your breaking point. I will be stern and at some times cruel but you must get to your strongest. If cruelty is the way then so be it.”

I looked at him and feebly replied, “Yes Master Daniel.”

“Now lets begin, without the boys.”

We began by stretching and what I call yoga to the extream. I was pretty flexible but Daniel was very hard on me he stretched me out farther than my legs were allowing me. He made me stand on my head and rock back and forth to loosen my neck up. When I got off my head I was at the point of having a headache but we continued until the boys came back and I was sore and it had only been thirty minutes. When the boys came in Daniel was pulling my arm out of its socket. He said it was to show me what a small amount of real pain leaving it that way. After he did he ordered Matt to walk out of the room. Before Daniel finished pulling at my arm Matt had to leave the room because it hurt him to much to watch me be in pain. Daniel told me this after I quit walking around grinding my teeth and cradling my arm gently.

Soon after, Daniel said, “Stand here.” I as I walked to the spot he pointed out, Daniel locked the door. After he did he grabbed my arm and swung me away from him and when he did it put my arm back in the correct spot. When this happened I screamed as if I was being murdered. Soon after I heard Matt outside banging on the door screaming in his language, “Tyheam, cdub cra ec uhmo y pakehan! Cdub! Vun rayjahc cyga, cdub!” I understood perfectly that he was saying 'Daniel, stop she is only a beginner! Stop! For heavens sake stop!'

Daniel replied, “She knows what it will take and I am not going to be easy on her even if she is a beginner! You know she has a while to go.” As I heard Daniel's reply I started crying. The very hard training went on until about 10:00 p.m. that night. Before I went to bed I was given a special room with thick chains attached to the walls. There were two beds at opposite ends of the room. Daniel told me that Matt would be staying in the room to watch me and see if I would change. The 'best' thing about it was that I was allowed to sleep chained to a special made bed and that Matt would be with me.

About eight hours later I was dreaming when a muscular voice said, “I love you.”

I yawned and I said, “I love you too.”

I sat up and found I was back in the bedroom. Matt was sitting beside me smiling as sweetly as a child would. There was something different about him. He had on a white, red, and black beaded necklace.

“What is that?”

He started fingering the necklace and said, “It is my ‘collar’ that keeps me from hurting anyone during this…well you know, because of it our visit has been lengthened”

“Ah! What time is it?” After I said this Matt gave me a look of disbeleife. I quickly said, "The time of day."

“Oh, I thought you had gone nuts. Its ‘bout noon.”

“Hey, sleepy head decided to join us.”

“Really funny,” Matt said as Joseiff sat down on the other bed.

“Are you two ready for dinner?” Daniel said, “When we are done eating he has something he would like to give to us. He said Al and Donte` were getting something to.”

“I wonder what the man has done now,” Matt chuckled.

I shrugged my shoulders, but I knew what they were going to get they were going to get the swords.

We all got up and walked down the hall toward the dinning room. Matt and I held hands. His claws suddenly touched my hands and it made me shiver. Matt looked at me and I at him. With his glance I knew he understood why I had moved in such a way.

Then I saw Joseiff walking to the dinning room and before I could Matt stopped me. “A kiss before dinner?” I grinned like the Cheshire Cat out of Alice in Wonderland.

He knew my body language by now and he gave me a French kiss. When we finished he walked in. I was in such a daze I meant to follow him but I ran into the wall left of the actual door.

I assumed the guys had heard that so I called, “I am okay.” I directed myself into the dinning room and I once more saw a meal prepared for us. I sat down, grabbed the chicken leg to my right and gulped down half of my drink a minute later. I was starving.

After we all ate Daniel got up, after taking a sip of water, and ask if Joseiff would go get the other boys from bed.

When he returned with Alucard rubbing his eyes, and Donte` yawning Daniel, began making the speech that would lead to them getting their swords.

“Boys, you all have fulfilled your training sessions well and you are at the age where you get what Jenniffer would call your ‘graduation presents’. Would you, Miss. Jenniffer like to help me with the honors?”

“It would be a pleasure,” I giggled.

I walked up to Daniel’s side and he whispered in my ear, “When I start to say the incantation you 1) hold out your hands, 2) echo what I say, and do it with your eyes closed, okay.” I nodded. “Lets begin shall we?”

Daniel began, I did as I was told and soon I felt the swords weight on my hands.

“Jenniffer you may open your eyes.” When I did I saw Matt’s sword on top, but it was suddenly moved to the bottom of the stack of swords in my hands. “Jenniffer, you may pass out all the swords you have in your hands except one I will do the same.

I did and Matt became disappointed, along with Joseiff, as Daniel and I passed out the swords.

“Now to explain the reason why you two did not get your swords. I want to see if you can find your own sword between the two with out your powers or with any help from Jenniffer. She has already seen Mathew’s sword.

“Do you want to see if we trust our senses with out our powers?”

“Exactly!” Daniel said, “but if you can’t you will not get another chance to get them until next year.” As Daniel said that Joseiff and Matt exchanged looks of worry. “To make it a bit harder I will add another sword and I will change the sheaths. To make sure you don’t try to use your powers I will use mine to watch you. All understood?”

“Yes Sir,” both of the boys said.

“Now, begin.”

The boys began working immediately. They were talking amongst themselves and turning the swords over and over. This took a long time, about eight p.m. to be exact, but I stayed awake after being board for long to see Matt and Joseiff, both, guess correctly.

“I knew you boys would get it right. I knew you were smarter than you were the day you were late to lessons.”

“We remember, Master Daniel.”

As the teacher and the boys talked I slipped out and walked myself to the bedrooms and fell asleep on the large bed.

As I slept I dreamed of Matt and his brother. Then I began to dream of horrible things that I couldn't control. I was like a "fly on the wall". I got to see what happened to a young man about Matt's age. He looked different in the way his body was shaped. It was as if it was a foreshadowing

The nightmare started with this figure who had no name walking along, in a type of forest or swamp, fully cloaked. Soon he gets a call on his cell phone about how his teacher was in trouble and that it was urgent The figure turning around, so his face was not shown, took off the cloak and changing into the form Matt had changed to but his hair was jet-black with snow-white tips. His clothes were a white shirt under a coal-black top similar to the boys outfits.

Then all went black then a scene began to play about the young man. He was still in his outfit he changed into but he was tied to a chair with chains and barbed wire. His feet were spread apart and his head was up right because being tied to the chair's head rest and legs. His neck, arms, hands, and lower legs were bleeding. He was able to bind his neck enough to where his features were not seen because of the hair that covered his face. As I watched in the dream I saw water droplets fall from under the cover of his hair. I knew after I heard a sniff that he was crying.

Things went black once more and when another scene began I realized I was looking through the young man's eyes. When I tried to move a sharp pain went through me and I knew that I was feeling his pain.

I then heard a person laughing. They were getting closer and closer. The person then entered the room and came up to the young man. The person continued to laugh they walked over and kneeled next to the young mans hands. The person stopped laughing and pulled out a small, flat, and very sharp object out of their cloak pocket. They ask him a question and the young man didn't answer. When he didn't answer the person took the object and shoved it up under the young mans finger nail. After that he screamed in agony and I screamed along with him at the pain he and I was enduring.

“Jenny, wake up!” I heard a voice say and I woke up instantly. I grabbed my hands and began to gently massage them. I thought that they were injured as they were in the dream, but they were unharmed. “Are you alright, Jenny?” I heard Matt say in a worried voice almost yelling as he propped my head upon his lap.

“I see,” I said as I lifted my hand to hug him around the shoulder. He seemed nervous still as I embraced him in a comforting way. Then I herd a small popping noise. I turned around and saw a large plate of food was sitting in the middle of the room. Next to it lay a folded up piece of paper.

“Yea, I’m hungry,” I said

“Me to,” Matt said with growing excitement.

“I think this should be enough for the both of you. I hope it is getting better. Daniel told me to tell you he is making a new collar for you Matt. I have to go, just say ‘Tuunc-Ybbayn’ while holding hands, when you are ready to come out, Signed Joseiff. It was nice of him to do this for us.”

“Yea,” I heard Matt muffle out. I turned around and Matt already had his mouth stuffed with rice and chicken.

“Hey, leave me some!”

“I’ll leave you a leg…” he said in a muffled voice.

“Matt, I want more than a leg now move over!” I pushed him out of the way and he fell on his left side. “Ha, that is what you get.” Matt got up and we gulped down what we had in our mouth and began to laugh.

“We are acting like children…,” Matt said slightly grinning

“Let’s share.”

“I have not told you everything about my ‘curse,’ I’ll tell you later.” All of a sudden Matt grabbed his ears in pain and dropped to the floor. “Stop it that hurts!” he yelled

“I’m not doing anything. What’s the matter? Lets get out of here.”

I pulled Matt to the door with the letter in hand and said, “Tuunc-Ybbayn.” Then a set of doors appeared and I quickly went through them. Matt continued to hold his ears as we raced out the doors. I went into the bedroom and found Joseiff doing the same thing. Both boys seemed to be in great pain.

“Daniel come quick.”

The moment I said that Daniel appeared beside me. He took his hands and began to rub them on the boy’s heads. Suddenly they stopped holding their ears.

“What happened?” Daniel said hastily. “What did you hear.”

“I heard a loud high pitched continuous note.”

“Same here, except I heard some one laughing in the background,” Joseiff said gingerly rubbing his ears.

“Whose laughter?” Daniel said.

“I don’t know,” Joseiff replied.

Matt laid down on the bed, raised his hands to his head, and started to gently touch his ears. When he did touch them he flinched and snatched his hand away. “Ouch, my ears,” he said looking at his hands, “are burning, but I can’t feel the burning on my head.”

“That’s strange,” Joseiff said, he was reaching to scratch his head when he yelped in pain.

“Let me examine them,” Daniel said as he walked over and began to look Matt’s ears over. When Daniel touched them Matt acted as before, and Daniel said, “Just to maybe help lets get some ice for them. Go get some ice from the kitchen and put them on your ears it might help.”

Matt walked out of the room and Daniel called, “Get some for your brother too.” I herd Matt fumbling with the ice and soon he brought two containers with ice in them. He handed one to Joseiff who gingerly placed it on his head, and as soon as the ice touched his head, it quickly melted.

“Wow, what just happened? Daniel can you explain this?” I said astonished.

“Sadly, I can’t. There are dark forces working here, and I will do my best to stop this burning.”

“Jenniffer, would you mind wandering through the house and finding my wife, Please?”

“No problem Daniel.”

I got up to begin my search and Daniel stopped me, “Tell her to bring me my supplies.” I turned once more and Daniel said, “When I am done I will need to speak with you.” I nodded and left.

I went into the hall and began to search for Daniel’s wife. The halls seemed more and more like a maze around every corner. I called out ‘Mrs. Daniel’ a few times but with no answer. I decided to look in as many rooms as I could to find her, maybe, quicker.

I opened door, after door, after door, and found no one around. Then I came to a room with only four swords in it. I looked around and I saw each sword had a name attached to it. Each one had everyone’s names on them, except for Daniel. I figured it was some type of reward or perhaps a graduation present that they had not yet received. I went over to Matt’s with curiosity and took the sword from its sheath. It was a well-crafted sword with red and black pen strip on the sword’s silvery background. I put it back where I had found it and continued to look for Mrs. Daniel.

I finally found myself outside in a garden. The sun was as bright as a child’s smile. The flowers were in bloom and the trees bore the sweet smell of numerous fruits. Then I herd the sound of someone biting into and apple.

I called, “Mrs. Daniel!”

“Over here!” I herd an elderly woman’s muffled cry.

I found Mrs. Daniel sitting with her back against a wall of flowers and bushes entwined together. She was a short woman with gray hair. It was put in a low ponytail that was lying roughly on her shoulders. She had an apple core in her hand and she was getting up.

“Here, let me help you.”

“No thank you, I can get up on my own.”

After she got up she cracked her back. Then I said, “Mrs. Daniel, Daniel needs you to bring him his supplies so he may tend to one of his old students.”

“Aye, I will fetch them at once,” she sighed.

“Do you need me to help you carry them?”

“If you don’t mind,” she said in depressed sounding voice.

“No problem at all. Mrs. Daniel, are you okay?” I said as we began to walk down the hall.

“I am fine, but thank you for your concern, youngin`.”

“Your welcome but you sound a bit depressed.”

“I just want to be able to visit with Daniel like old days before he ‘came a teacher.”

“I know how you feel. Hey, maybe I could get Matt and Joseiff to watch the students and you two can have some time to yourselves,” I said with hope.

“Sounds splendid but it just seems two complicated because he has to not get the boys behind in there studies,” Mrs. Daniel said as we entered a room and picked up a bunch a small bags and boxes.

“True.” I paused. “I could try,” I said hoping for some sign of approval.

“You may try all you like but I won’t say anythin’ will happen,” As we walked down the hall again. Soon we entered the room that the boys and Daniel were in.

“Is it any better?” I ask.

“The burning has stopped but a few moments ago they heard the sound again. Thank you Julie.”

“Your welcome,” said Mrs. Daniel.

“Matt heard the laughter this time,” Daniel said in a concerned voice.

“Well its good the burnings gone.”

“Now that I have my supplies I will need peace and quiet so you both will have to leave. I know how attached you are to Matt, but I need you to leave for his own benefit”

“Oh, okay.” I walked out the door, sat down, and began to wait.

A minute later I heard what sounded like two bodies hitting the floor.

POST COMMENT

The next morning I was sleeping like a baby then I herd the voice of an old man and I said, “Ten more minutes, Grandpa. ”

“I’m not your grandpa, but wake up.”

“Oh, sorry Daniel,” I said sleepily.

“Rise and shine sleeping beauty, come on up, up, up!” I heard Matt say from the hall.

“Daniel do I have permission to knock him up side the head?”

“If you choose, he is not one of my pupils so I no longer watch over him like I do any other student, Daniel said politely.

“Thank you Sir.”

“Your welcome.” I got up and walked myself out of the room and found Matt sitting outside sipping on a strong smelling drink. I sneaked up behind him, and I punched him in the back of the head. I caught Matt off guard, how I knew was that he had spilled the drink he had all over himself. I began to giggle as he slung his hands trying to get the liquid.

“Jenny, I swear one of these days, I will pay you back for that!”

“I guess I did it out of love,” I said innocently. Matt snarled and he briefly gave me an evil look. “Okay, I am sorry I didn’t mean it, it was pay back for this morning.” Matt continued to growl as he sharply did a one-eighty. I saw he was not the same, the whites of his eyes became the color of blood. His teeth were in a wide grin like a tiger was about to take a large bite out of its prey. He had large, dark purple, scars outlined in red, running from his forehead to the top of his cheeks.

“Daniel,” I screamed, “Come quick, something is wrong with…!” Matt jumped on me. His eyes weren’t kind and sparkly as they were before.

“Ouihk, vnaycr pmuut!” Matt said in a growling grin. Then he began to sniff around my neck. He then stopped at a certain place near the back of my neck. His eyes opened wide and glittered with glee, like he was a lion that had caught its first animal for his dinner.

“Jenniffer!” I herd some one cry. Then I herd the same voice say, “ Jenniffer when I say Numm Ujan, get out from under him by rolling to the left!”

“Okay,” I shouted.

“Sydd,Numm Ujan!” the voice commanded and I did as I was told. The minute I rolled to the left, Matt forcefully rolled in the opposite direction.

As I tried to stand Matt recovered, glared at me and came for me again. I saw a wildness in his eyes that was uncontrollable. He knocked me to the ground and held me down with his legs and hands. Then he picked up his hand, off of my left arm, reached out and fiercely scratched me on the face. I put my hand to my cheek in pain and I felt blood trickle down my face onto my fingers.

I called, out his name but to no avail. Then Matt leaped off of me and grabbed his head. He then began to ferociously shake his head. Soon after he stopped for a minute to look in my direction. His eyes had returned back to there regular color but he still seemed wild. Matt looked at my face and then looked at his hands. When he saw the blood on his hands, he stood transfixed for a moment, turned toward the woods, and ran toward them.

“Matt,” I called, but he never turned but stopped to listen to what seemed to be my voice.

“Are you okay?” said a young man as he ran toward me.

“I’m good, what is wrong with Matt?” I questioned. The young man began to wipe my face with a handkerchief. His outfit was like Matt’s but it was a bronze color with a white undershirt. His hair was light brown with white covering the tips that reached the middle of his back.

The young man introduced himself, “My name is Donte`, are you sure you are okay?”

“Even though I am a little shaken I’m fine. Ouch,”

“Sorry, I am not very gentle with my hands,” Donte` said calmly.

“What’s the matter? Oh, my goodness.” Daniel said after landing himself by my side.

Donte` explained what had happened and Daniel’s expression went from surprise to worry very quickly.

“I knew this would happen, I will explain once we get you into the house. Donte` go look for Matt.”

“Yes Sir.” Daniel watched Donte` run into the forest, then he walked me into the house and tended my wound. When Donte` finally convinced Matt to return he stopped and looked at me. His eyes were began to fill with tears. I got up and began to walk toward him to comfort him but he turned once more and ran from me, sobbing.

Daniel breathed and said, “There is a story behind this, and I will make simple and strait to the point. Every year Matt becomes full demon during an hour for seven days. The explanation why he is that way is that he was born with it.” Daniel said.

“Why didn’t he tell me?”

“Jenniffer, he probably was going to tell you but he forgot.”

“How could he forget such a thing?”

“I know it’s hard but I am going to have to keep you two separated. I will have to chain him up, in the morning, for the rest of the week, starting tomorrow.

"Isn’t there another way to stop him?”

“Hold on, did he have a collar on a few weeks ago?”

“I did not see any type of collar at all”

“He probably broke the other one or some one stole it. Who would want to steal it?”

“Morning every one,” Joseiff called out as he walked in to the room.” Daniel turned in Joseiff’s direction and Joseiff gasp.

“As you can see Joseiff, Matt has attacked Jenniffer.”

“Oohh boy,” Joseiff said.

“He has done this before?” I ask.

“He has done it to me many times already.” Daniel said as he pointed to the scars on his face and limbs. “He did it when he was my student.”

“He has done it twice to me,” Joseiff showed me on his neck and right shoulder. “Will you be making him another collar?”

“I will have to make him one before tomorrow morning, or I will have to chain him up.”

“I want you to start on it now!” I said loudly. “Oh, I am so sorry, I give you a command and you are not younger than me. Forgive me sir.”

“It is quite alright, I know you love young Matthew deeply and you want him to be safe, but I will do the best I can. I can not get done before sunrise tomorrow…”

“I know I don’t wish for him to be in a cell for a few days, it kills me to think about it.”

“I will get to work after breakfast. Ah, Donte` has persuaded Matthew to come back.” I looked up and a second later Donte` and Matt walked in. Matt looked at me and fell to his knees crying at my feet.

“We will leave you two alone. Come Joseiff, we have things to do. Donte`, you can go to bed now.” Daniel whispered.

“Yes Sir,” they both replied.

“Jenniffer, do you want me to make sure you won’t be disturbed.” I noddedand walls appeared around us to make us a room. Daniel stepped out and I herd him say something that I couldn’t understand and all became as quite as it could get.

I got up and put my arms around Matt. He jumped in surprise, pushed me to the side and said between sobs, “Get away! You don’t want to touch a killer.” I looked at him in surprise.

“It is okay…”

“It’s not okay! I hate when this happens I always injure or kill someone. These memories I wish they would go away.”

“You can tell me, what memories?”

“No I will not relive them again!”

“Please, tell me. You can tell me anything.”

“Let me be! Don’t you see what I am telling you! I-Am-A-Murderer! It tears me to pieces to think…” He made his hands into fists and pounded on his head as if trying to make something in his mind disappear. I sat staring at him with kind eyes.

“Matt, look at me.” He ignored me. I grabbed his chin with my hand and made him look at me. I then said, “Matt, I know what ever it is maybe a burden but we can share it together.” He released his chin from my hand and turn in the opposite direction.

Matt sighed and began to tell his tale. “When I was small I was as normal as any other child like me, then I hit what we in this world call ‘Napameuic-Lryhkac’. In your world it would be puberty. One morning I was awakening and I acted like a wild beast. I only know what I am about to tell you through my brother. I started rampaging through the house and I found my parents room. I went to there bed and…,” He paused for a moment and breathed deeply. “I killed them with my claws.” He stretched out his hands toward me and I saw what I hadn’t seen before, he had claws, they were shaped like a tiger’s claws. He continued his story, “After that I looked up and saw my little brother in the door way and I lunged at him. The rest is easy enough to figure out.”

I thought a few seconds and said calmly, “How is he still living with you?”

“You see, the minute I murdered him I became normal again. So I decided to use what I knew of ‘Tyng-Iykel’ or dark magic from books to bring him back. I did, but I had to sacrifice some of my blood and skin to make him a body.”

I scooted closer to him, and touched his shoulder. When I did he flinched and I said, “Its just me.” He watched me closely as if nervous. I saw in his eyes tears beginning to form. I stayed quiet to signify he could continue.

Two minutes later, he wiped his eyes he said, “When he returned he was now what looks like my twin brother.”

I calmly interrupted, “Just to ask was his voice always a mimic of yours?”

“No, his voice was that of an about to be five year old when it happened.” Matt sniffled softly.

POST COMMENT

After we ate and talked about the lessons that Matt and Joseiff had to learn, the punishments, and the goofs they had conjured between the two of them, Daniel took me aside. It seemed strange that he would talk to me alone even though we had just met.

He said, “Jenniffer, have you noticed something strange about the boys?”

“Yes sir, I have noticed that they are not completely human,” I said.

“Anything else?”

“No sir they told me that they were in trouble with someone and that Joseiff is his soul attached to a body, but it doesn’t make any sense. Do you know if they are lying to me?”

“I will tell you this and this only until later. The boys are not lying to you about the soul being attached to a body, but I don’t know any thing about the trouble they may be in.”

I could not believe what I was hearing; the guys were telling me the truth! “I don’t know what to say sir. I am shocked to…I am confused.”

“Later I will explain why they are in their position and what happened when they tried to change it.” I nodded in reply, but ideas were clouding my brain and bringing up dozens of questions that I wanted answered at that moment in time. Daniel and I returned to the dinning area and we all started to get a bit drowsy. Daniel showed us where we would be sleeping.

“Will we be sleeping in the same room we stayed in when we were being taught sir?” Joseiff said politely.

“No you won’t but Mathew will, you will be sleeping in the only room available. I really was not expecting you to arrive with a guest.”

“Where will we sleep Master Daniel?”

“All three of you will be sleeping in Matt’s old room, because I have a pair of new students that only do there training and such at night. If you know who I might be speaking about, Joseiff.”

“I don’t know whom you speak of Master Daniel.”

“You will know in time, actually you will all met them tomorrow morning.”

“Master Daniel, I hate to be the one to sound ignorant about this but why morning?”

“Have you forgotten your training already? I thought you would have known we would be getting up at sunrise.”

“Sir If I may say that we have not forgotten your teachings it is just we…have been getting up later sense we have lived in the human world for so long,” Matt said cautiously.

“The toxins of the human world have clouded your mind, I will get you up two hours after sunrise, it will help get both of you back where you need to be.” Daniel said calmly.

“If I may ask, will I have to get up as well?” I ask hoping I would not have to.

“If you get up to ask for a blessed day at sunrise, I will.”

“I don’t sir.” I replied.

“Do you want me to wake you up to see how we begin our day?”

“Maybe in a few days.”

“Jenniffer, we will not be here for more than a day,” Matt said.

Surprised I said, “Oh, well I will maybe see it another time.”

“Jenniffer, we won’t be coming back with you. This visit is especially arranged for you to only come one time.”

“Okay, but afterwards I am going back to bed. If someone wakes me up for any dumb reason I will personally…show my wrath to them.”

“Understood, Jenniffer,” Daniel said respectfully. I looked over at the boys and they gave me the ‘I understand just don’t kill us for any other reason’ look.

I smiled, sighed then said, “Sir, just out of curiosity, who are these characters who only do there training at night?”

“That would be Joseiff and Matt’s cousins…”

Matt interrupted, “Are you talking about Donte` and Alucard?”

“Aye, I said you would know in time didn’t I? Matthew, don’t interrupt me, your brother is already walking a thin string over a dragons pit. Don’t make me throw both of you in.”

“You did say that Master Daniel,” Joseiff said.

“Forgive me Sir, I must remember to look before I leap.” Matt said softly.

“To continue, Alucard does his works at night because when he was little he was given a drink that had some blood of Dracula in it. The drink that was given to him made sleeping during the night an impossible task. So, he does everything at night. The reason some one had the blood of Dracula was because, when he was to be buried, the only one who would tend to his body drained his body of the fluid and kept it. The rest of the story is easy enough to decipher.”

“So your saying that someone wanted to keep the blood to do experiments on children?” I said.

“No not exactly, he wanted it for money value, but when this person was on their death bed they gave it to their son, I believe. As you know in those days the eldest son got what all the parents possessions.” I nodded. “The person started to go mad and decided to see what would happen if someone drank the substance.”

“Oh, I get it, the person tried to see if Alucard would die, while in their maddened state, without realizing what they were doing,” I said.

“That's about it. The story of his brother was that, Donte` wanted to make Alucard feel better, so he trains at night with him.” Daniel said sadly. I yawned.

“Forgive me, but I am getting tired may I go to bed?”

“Oh, poor girl. Me and my stories, I tend to make them quite lengthy. I will get you all up tomorrow morning and you will get to meet Joseiff and Matt’s cousins.”

“Do you want to change normally, or would you want magic to do the job?” Matt said grinning.

“It would be a blessing because I am about to fall asleep where I’m standing.”

“Fine, I’ll change your clothes,” Matt’s grin grew wider.

“Behave your self Matthew,” Daniel said.

“Yes, behave your self,” Joseiff said sarcastically.

“Would I not behave brother?”

“Some times you worry me, Matthew,” Daniel said shaking his head. “Well good night, I am off to set up the training equipment. I will see you all in the morning.”

“Good, night,” I said sleepily, Matt and Joseiff said sounding enthused.

Joseiff looked to Matt and said, “I will wait until you call me in, bro.”

“Okay, it will only take a few minutes.”

“Don’t do any thing over being boyfriend/girlfriend if you do Daniel will know.”

“Joseiff, I thought you knew me better.” Joseiff glared at Matt.

“Fine, a few moments alone no more. Is that okay with you?” Joseiff nodded in approval.

“I don’t care just get me changed and into a bed!” I said. The boys jumped in surprise and Matt lead me into a room with three beds; they seemed to be waiting for someone to sleep in them. Matt did his wake up trick, changed my clothes, and we embraced each other.

Then Matt said, “One good night kiss for the night.”

“Why don’t we just put the beds together and we can…” Before I could blink two beds pushed themselves together and became a king-size bed.

“Well how about that? Daniel must have known we would want to make some changes to the arrangement.”

“I guess so lets call Joseiff in and get in to bed.” I called to him in the hall, “Hey yo, Joseiff bed time!” Joseiff walked in and Matt whispered some thing in his ear. I began to prepare my bed and I wasn’t listening to the conversation that the boys were having.

“Do you want to really stop the plan? We have gotten this far and you want to stop,” Joseiff said.

“I know but I really like Jenny and I want to be hers,” Matt replied softly.

“Fine, but I think you are making a big mistake,” Joseiff said as he raised his eyebrows.

“Tough you will just have to deal with it,” Joseiff raised his hands in surrender.

“Are we going to stay up all night or go to bed?” I said thinking of when we would get up and how much time we had to visit, before we left for my house.

“Let’s go to bed,” Matt said to all of us. He then turned directly toward me and he winked, signifying that we would talk for a while. When Matt, Joseiff, and I laid down to go to sleep, Joseiff just rolled over and went strait to sleep. Matt positioned himself next to me and inched closer. He stopped a few inches away and sat up. He encouraged me to follow. I did and we turned to face one another.

“I see you have some doubts and requests in your mind. Do you want to talk to me and tell me why you are thinking in such away?” I slowly nodded and scooted my self to his right side.

“I think of what will happen if… what am I thinking I don’t need to think about that for a while.” I muttered. Matt smiled and it told me that it was all right. “Anyway, I would like to be like you.” Matt looked at me with concern. “It is such a marvelous thing and I like the idea of doing more than a normal person can.” I paused and a strange silence filled the room.

“Wow, you want to be like me and Joseiff.” Matt turned his head towards his brother and sighed. Joseiff shifted and went back to sleep.

“We had better get to sleep,” I said. “Early to bed, early to rise,” I recited.

“Daniel says that all the time.” I cracked a smile and let out a faint giggle.

Matt laid his head down and I followed. I looked at him and he turned over. I soon tapped him on the shoulder. He turned over and I gave Matt a puppy-dog pout look. He rolled his eyes as a grin grew on his face as he leaned toward me. The French kiss he gave me assured he would not leave in the night. We stopped and stared at one another for a few moments. Then we settled our selves and we went to sleep to dream about one another.

About an hour later I said, “We have been walking for about an hour and my feet hurt, I am thirsty, and you two, on the other hand, are walking like we have been walking for only five minutes.”

“Do you want me to carry you madam?” Matt said sweetly.

“Why did you not offer earlier?”

“You were not complaining earlier.” Matt said.

I shook my head and said, “Fine, I will let you carry me.”

“If you fall asleep and you wake up in the arms of my transformed self don’t scream, Please?”

“Okay, I won’t, but before you pick me up I would like to see something.”

“What do you mean?” Joseiff ask as he turned around.

“Don’t you want to read my mind to find out? It looks like you want to but you aren’t because you want to be nice. Don’t cha?”

“Joseiff, it will be okay. I have an idea what she wants to see.”

“Well hurry, we need to keep going.”

“Sure I will bring him back.” I said grinning. I grabbed Matt by his shirt collar and drug him behind a group of trees.

“Matt, can I get a special kiss to last a while? I just want you to transform and give me one please.”

“Okay, one, just a question first, do you want me to stay in my other form? It seems you like me in that form. I saw it in your eyes when I changed the last time.”

“You don’t have to but, it would make me happy,” I sighed.

“Alright then, here it goes.” He transformed into his half-human, half-demon form and he also changed his clothes too. He changed into a Japanese outfit that suited him well. It was a kind of baggy body suit that was a silky, blue material, which matched his eyes, and a white under shirt.

I stared in ah at his transformation from sexy human, to a gorgeous half-demon. It was like watching heaven appear right in front of my eyes.

“Are you ready?” I shook out of my trance, paused, then nodded slowly.

“Before you do, I would like to say sorry about what happened earlier with the threatening to hit, kill you two and such.”

“It’s cool, lets just say we felt you were not going to do that any way, besides I really like you, and I want to keep you for a while,” I looked at him and he saved himself a bruise by saying, “I’m kidding.” I smiled and Matt leaned in and kissed me. Next thing I know he progressed into a French kiss! It was amazing and the shape of his teeth added a sensational twist.

All of a sudden I hear Joseiff yell, “Will you two come on, we will be late!”

“Coming,” I yelled back, and for a moment longer we kissed.

Matt smiled when we finished and he said, “Do you want me to put you into something more comfortable?”

“Please?” He nodded and told me to close my eye he put his hands around my neck and then the next thing I know I am in a pair of pants like his. They were made of a more cottony fabric and a small T-shirt.

Matt turned around and gave me what was kind of like a piggyback ride, for a while.

“I’m ready to get off now,” I whispered sweetly into Matt’s ear. He stopped and let me off gently. When I got off he grabbed my hand and we walked side by side the rest of the journey.

When we stopped in front of an old house I ask, “Is this it, your secret place?”

“Kinda, It is actually our old teachers house.”

“Did you just called me old, young Joseiff?” an old mans voice said. I looked up and saw an old man with graying hair.

“Oh, forgive me Master Daniel. I did not see you.”

“It’s quit alright I will spare you a punishment this time, because your friend is here. Next time I will not be as merciful.”

“I understand sir.” Joseiff said bowing.

“Sir may I introduce Jenniffer Lee, our new friend. She has asked to be my girlfriend sir…” Matt said.

“And that is what you two will be in my house. Agreed?”

“Yes sir.” Matt said, and I nodded in agreement.

“How was your trip? Were they stubborn like they usually are?”

“No sir, not at all, Matt was the one I had to watch.” Matt gave me a look that expressed; ‘you did not just say that’.

“Do I need to punish him, Jenniffer?”

“I don’t think so sir, I think I can keep him in line.”

“Wonderful, now lets get something to eat and we can talk about your journey with the boys,” Daniel said.

All of a sudden we heard a woman yell, “What are you doing out there, Daniel?” from inside the house and Daniel stood strait up.

“Could you excuse me a moment?” he said softly. He walked into the house and then I heard the biggest lions roar came from in the house saying, “Woman I am talking with two of my students and their girl friend, if you don’t mind I will bring them in the house for dinner.”

“Fine you old grouch, but I want to see them presentable in my house. You got that!”

“Be that way woman but I am warning you…,”

“What will you do turn me into Scylla, or will it be Medusa this time?” she snapped ferociously. Joseiff, Matt, and I had been laughing when Daniel walked out of the house, with clenched teeth and his hands balled into fists. The minute he stepped out we all stopped laughing and put on our poker faces.

“Forgive her, my wife is not exactly having a good day today. Please, come in I will have something prepared shortly.” We walked in and a delicious meal was placed on a long oak table in front of us.

“Would you look at that, the old hag decided to be nice today.”

“I heard that!” his wife called from what seemed to be the kitchen.

“Well, let’s eat before it gets any colder.” We all sat down and I said grace (I was the only one who did) and we ate.

Joseiff started to walk out quietly, but he turned around and said, “Do you want me to stay?”

“No, but thanks bro, I will take it from here.”

“Okay.”

“I did not think this would happen,” I murmured quietly.

“I understand it’s difficult, but you must think about the position we are in. There is another thing that we will share, but that will come later,” Matt said with concern.

“I understand but it’s hard to imagine such a thing. “It is cool and all but,” The phone rang, “Who could that be at this hour?”

I went to the phone and answered, “Hello?”

“Hey curl, wuz up?”

“Hey Faye, how’s life?”

“It is awesome cause I just saw who is in your house through your window.”

“Uh, Faye, do you want to come in?” I opened the door.

“You know I do. Who are they, they are fine and there are two of them.”

“Faye, may I talk to you in the hall?”

“Sure, after I get a photo-graphic memory shot of them.”

“This is serious!” I looked at Matt and he gave me stare that cut me down. I nodded and ushered Faye into the hall.

“Faye I have a serious issue to deal with about these two twins, OK!”

“Shit, don’t get all motherly on me. I just wanted to see you, and I wanted to see if we could like go to the mall and hang out.”

“Well Faye, it is 8:00 in the morning. It’s 8:00 already? Anyway I have two people to help so could you come back in a couple of days’ cuz they don’t have a place, and I am their only chance.”

“Okay, just get me a picture of them and we’ll talk soon. Chow Chick!”

“Chow, Avedasa, Oravwha, Bye,” I said as I rushed Faye out the front door. “Wow, that was close. I am glad I got her out of here quickly.”

“We now know we can trust you. I bet he made it a test Matt…Matt…uh Matt hello, come back to the present.” Joseiff waved his hand in front of Matt’s face. “I guess I have to do this the hard way. Go to another room please.”

I went into another room, and Joseiff called, “Thanks, that is a big help to me.”

I called, “Your welcome!” Then I heard a loud noise that sounded like Matt had just been slapped. Then I heard another noise and it sounded as though someone was cracking their neck.

From down the hall I heard, “Shit, what did you do that for?”

“I think you owe me a thank you or some thing besides ‘Shit, what was that for?’ I just saved your ass from going all drollish.”

“Are you done I want to continue the conversation I was having with Jenny thank you.” Matt snapped.

Joseiff said, “Fine, Fine, but hurry we need to talk about what just happened and Jenny’s friend, Faye. You can come back in to the room now.”

“Why do I have two, grown, half- human, half-demon men fighting in my house?” I said sweetly.

“We need to continue our conversation about that subject in your room.”

I just shook my head, yawned, and said, “I can’t I got to get some sleep.”

“I can fix that,” they both said.

“Do you want me to do it, Matt?”

“Nah, you need the practice,” Matt replied.

“Be that way.” Joseiff sighed. “Jenny, I will make it to where you won’t need sleep for a few more hours, I need you to close your eyes.”

“Okay, If I fall asleep will that inter fear?” I said sleepily.

“A little, but I will ask my brother to help me keep you awake.”

“How, you’ll see. Is that cool with you?” Matt said.

I yawned, “Okay, whatever.”

“Bro grab her neck like Daniel taught you, and I to do.” Matt grabbed me around the neck. “Thanks, now Jenny, close your eyes. If you have the urge to open them don’t until I say so. Understand?” I nodded. “Good, now lets proceed.”

I closed my eyes and began to fall asleep. Before I knew it, a strange force had awakened me. It felt like a snake was winding itself tighter and tighter around my neck. I started to raise my hand to try and stop the tightening, but a voice said, “Jenny, don’t move.”

I did as I was instructed and I suddenly felt a warm sensation wind through my body like vines creeping along the ground in a snake like way. I then felt an icy chill roll through my spine. Then my eyes could not see light shining through my eyelids. I thought something had gone wrong and Joseiff had blinded me and I started to panic. My heart began to pound and a voice said, “Don’t worry, you are not blind, it’s just part of the process.” I took a breath and began to think about what I called my peaceful place.

“Now open your eyes and see what happened along with being wide a wake.”

I opened my eyes and saw I was in front of a mirror, and I was not wearing the shorts and T-shirt. I was wearing a fancy, Japanese dress and my hair was up in white chopsticks with little, black jewels dangling from the ends.

“Wow, how the he…? What are you two trying to do?”

“We gave you a new outfit that you can wear to where we are taking you.”

I stopped examining my new outfit and surprisingly said, “What? Where in the hell are you taking me?”

“You’ll see.” Matt said suspiciously.

“You two are starting to scare me. Tell me where the hell your taken’ me or I won’t tell you a secret of my own.”

“We already know. You are gonna ask Matt to be your boyfriend. It’s not that hard with us because we can read minds.”

“Lovely, just lovely!” I said through clenched teeth.

“Aren’t we?” I very nastily scowled at Matt.

“I’m kidding, and yes, I will be your boyfriend.”

“Why I outta,” I breathed, “I don’t like you no more you can read my mind when I am wanting to hypothetically strangle you!”

“What happened last night before our secret was passed to you?” Matt said.

“I kissed you, soon I will miss you. I am gonna kick your asses our of my house.”

“Are you sure about that? Joseiff said. I stood quietly without a sound. “Your awkward silence gives you away.” Joseiff laughed.

“Fine you can stay, but YOU two get to fight over who will sleep on the floor and the one who will sleep on the couch. Good luck! Oh, wait a minute, both of you can sleep on the floor.” I walked off laughing.

“We can do that later but we need to take you to our secret place.” Matt said.

“Sorry, I already started to take off the dress. Have fun trying to making me put it back on!”

“We will, don’t worry about that.” Matt and Joseiff whispered.

Let just say they had a few bits of rope and fast refluxes up their sleeve and in their bags. They were not gentle either, They tied me to my bed, forced the dress back on me, and surprisingly they put my hair back up.

“That wasn’t so hard was it?” Joseiff said.

“Once you let me go from this shit, I will personally…”

“We know, you will slap us.” they said together.

“May I ask a favor?” I said.

“What would that be, Jenny?”

“May I have your permission to walk about freely?”

“Uh… should we brother? I mean she has ask us.” Matt said.

“Do you think Daniel will approve? He will know what we have done any way, Matt.” Joseiff said.

“True, but lets’ make her swear by the Styx and we won’t get hit for a few hours.” Matt whispered.

“I don’t think she will say it, cause I read her mind about her education and she knows about Mythology. It is like second nature to her.” Joseiff said in Matt’s ear.

“What if we do it in our own language, she won’t know cause she doesn’t know how to speak our language now does she?”

“Okay, Okay, just don’t say any thing to make it last more than six hours. Capeash?”

“Capeash, little brother.” Matt said grinning.

Matt turned around and said, “Jenny, we will but we need you to say this little rhyme.”

“Alright, just get me out of these itchy pieces of shit!”

Matt nodded and said, “Repeat after me, E cummimo cfayn po…” I repeated the words as he spoke them.

After Matt finished, and they took my bindings off, I ask, “May I ask what you said?”

“To make it short, we just made you swear by the River Styx that you would not harm anyone for six hours.” Matt smirked.

“You two sons of…,”I growled, “You will pay for that, I swear it!”

“We must get prepared Matt she plans to hit us,” Joseiff said sarcastically.

“Put a sock in it!” I snapped

“Fine,” They said in unison.

“We had better get going bro, It will take a while before we get there, and you know Daniel is watching. He does not want us to be late. Do you remember what happened last time we were late?” Joseiff said.

“I remember, he made us clean his entire house for three months. My hands hurt at the thought. I don’t think they will ever get any dirtier than they are now.” Matt said as he stretched out his hands.

“Well lets get going then,” Joseiff said impatiently. While Matt started untieing me Joseiff moved his hair from in front of his face.

“How are we getting there exactly? Walk?” I asked

“Yes and no,” Matt said, “We will teleport part of the because Daniel will have a barrier up around his house to stop that kind of magic. Some kids tried to get out by teleporting and they were caught.”

“We are wasting time.”

“Right. Just take our hands and close your eyes,” and we will be there after a few seconds.”

I did and I enjoyed the sea wind feeling on my face as we traveled. When we stopped I was surrounded by trees and small shrubbery.

“Come on we are a bit slower than our watches,” Joseiff said as he walked hastily a head.

Thirty minutes later with me in my room, I had told them to wait patently (do men know the meaning of patience) outside, till I could give him the okay to come in and change.

While I was changing for bed, Matt asks, “Where do you kept your cereal.”

“It’s in the top cabinet above the sink.” I yelled from my room at the end of the hallway.

“Thanks,” he said loudly as I stumbled over a chair in the dinning room.

“It’s all yours to change in now, I’m done.”

“Okay I get my bag and ch…ch…change, wow you are as sexy dressed for bed as you are for public,” Joseiff stuttered. I was in only old, Daisy Duke, shorts and a long, old T-shirt I used for family reunions, so I was confused, very confused.

I gave him a look of confusion, smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to change?”

Matt looked at me dreamily, shook his head and said, “Yeah…right…we will,” then they walked off with a dazed look on their faces.

“Okay, then, are you sure you want cereal? I got: grits, eggs, bacon,...” I continued to name the breakfast items I had. I did until both of them came out in only long pajama pants, and what I didn’t see before, but both of them had ironing board, six pack, abs.

“What are grits?” they said confused.

“You don’t know what grits are and both of you live in driving distance of the Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee line! I will make you try them even if it kills you.” Matt looked at me with surprise and worry, then the brothers turned around to face the middle of the table quietly.

I fixed them some grits and said, “There are two meanings of grits. Grits are a type breakfast food but the letters mean Girls Raised In The South. Do you two understand?”

“I get what you mean but do I really have to try this stuff?” Matt said looking a bit disgusted. I finally got them to taste it and both guys loved them. Matt wanted more the second he finished his first serving.

“I thought you’d like it,” I laughed.

“Can I have some tomorrow?” Matt said innocently.

“Why not? I’ll make you some eggs and toast to go with them. How ‘bout it?

“Sounds good to me,” Joseiff said through a yawn.

“Looks like someone needs to go to bed. We’ll go to my room and finish talking in there while you go on to bed in the guest room.”

“Okay, Do I need to stand outside for a while as you finish brushing your teeth and all?” Matt said fiddling with his long sandy blond hair

“Yeah, I like to have some of my beauty secrets kept a secret,” I said giving Matt a wanting look and rolling my tongue across my lips, just to tease him a bit. Matt’s mouth formed a sexy grin then he winked at me.

“I’ll tell you what I find out tomorrow,” Matt said whispering to his brother.

A few minutes later minutes later, my back was to the door. Joseiff was in the guests bathroom and Matt was, I supposed, in the hall. I was wrong, Matt had come in silently as can be, and came up behind me. He began rubbing the skin on my arm gently and ever so slowly. Then he started, to kind of playfully pull my hair. I did not turn around and push him off; I just stood there, taken back with a calmness that was slowly building.

Matt said, “Your skin is so soft, do I have permission to touch some more of it?” I looked at him with a queer eye, then followed him to my bed, without any sounds or questions in my mind. Matt lay down and I fell next to him. He rolled onto his side and glided his hand slowly over my back.

Matt said dreamily, “Slide up to the head board and sit up.” I did as he commanded. Matt took his hands and placed them on my neck as he slid up next to me. Then unexpectedly he tightened his grip on my neck, a little.

I widened my eyes and he said, “Calm down, it is just a friendly gesture, like this one.” Slowly he came close to me and kissed me tenderly.

After a few seconds Matt stopped and stared at me with glittering, sapphire eyes. My heart was racing with excitement as he leaned over and kissed me again.

Then Joseiff knocked on the door and stepped in. The second Joseiff knocked Matt and I were released from our love trance. Joseiff said, “I need my toothbrush. I think you packed it in your bag.”

“I’ll check,” Matt said sounding disappointed. “I’ll come back, Jenny,” he paused and said, “I promise,” sweetly.

They walked out of the room and began passing words about me.

“Couldn’t your teeth have waited till morning?” Matt snarled.

“I need to be your exact replica to put off plan twin. Remember?”

“Yeah but I read her mind and she really likes me. She was going to ask me tomorrow when we ate breakfast.”

“Are you sure? Our job is to get people to trust us. Then get what we want from them.”

“Yeah, anyway I gotta get back to her she's beginning to wonder where I am,” Matt said giving Joseiff his tooth brush.”

“I won't bother you any more Mathew-Alexander,” Joseiff said sarcastically.

Matt was soon back with me. He just stared at me and I at him for what seemed like forever. Then my eyes began to burn from staring, I began rubbing my eyes in protest.

Then Matt broke the silence and said, “Do you want me to go you seem tired.”

“No, please stay, I would like to talk to you about a few things that are bothering me.”

“Well, go on I am all ears.”

It took me a moment to decipher what Matt had just said. Finally I said, “What is it with you and your brother? What is the big secret?”

Matt looked at me with confusion. I waited for a reply because I did not want to interrupt his very masculine voice that I had fallen in love with. Matt began to speak but stopped himself in what looked like embarrassment.

“Is it that hard to say?”

“No its just…we told you…and you didn’t believe us. There is something else to…I am not…completely…damn this is hard.”

I said softly, “I’m not rushing you," as I tried to massage his shoulders, comfortingly.

As I reached for his shoulders he pulled away.

“Okay, I’ll say it, I am not completely human, I am part demon,” he said quickly Then, he took a raged breath and looked at me as if preparing for a beating or waiting for me to scream.

Surprise, rapidly filled me up and confusion drowned my mind. I just looked at him wondering what to say to such a statement.

“Are you okay?” Matt said softly. I just turned my head toward my bedroom window.

I finally said, “I don’t understand, do you mean I kissed a…different kind of person. Um…Can I ask you something?”

“Anything you want to ask is okay to me.”

“Not saying that I don’t believe you, but I just want to see some proof.”

“Okay, watch what happens to my hair, ears, and teeth. Please don’t freak out I don’t want to have the police coming after me.”

Then he pushed his hair back and opened his mouth . All of a sudden his sandy locks became longer and changed to a white-silvery color with blood red tips, his human ears moved to the top of his head and changed into dog-ears. Then, I looked into his mouth and saw his teeth were becoming longer and sharper.

As this transformation occurred my mouth dropped and I almost screamed but I contained myself. Matt after changing he called to his brother to come and show me his form.

When Joseiff stepped in to the room he closed the door, pulled back his hair, and opened his mouth. He made the same transformation but his hair was not the same. His hair changed to be blood-red with silvery-white tips, the other way around.

“Will you keep our secret, Jenny?” Matt asked soft but sweetly.

Joseiff came over, sat down next to me, and hopefully smiled. Matt looked at me with searching eyes. I just looked at them amazed with this transformation I did not say anything for a few minutes.

Finally I said, “Wow, this will take some time to take in.”

“We will give you time to think,” they both said as the boys changed back into there human forms.

It all began on an October day. I remember it all too well. I was a college graduate of NYU and Harvard University. I was planning on moving to Kentucky to have a horse farm. Lessons would be given to those horse lovers like myself. Anyway, I was walking to my favorite coffee shop on the other side of town. I was listening to the Backstreet Boys song that would always make me think of why I didn’t have a boyfriend, on my portable CD player. The head phones were on my neck.

I was walking along when a guy just runs up to me and says, “Would you like to have a riffle ticket, to win a Mega XL 10,000 TV screen?” I looked at him and I saw the handsomest guy I had ever seen.

I looked at him in the face and said, “I...um... would like one. How much are they?”

He looked me over and said, “Well, I'll get your ticket because I am such a nice guy and you are so...so...pretty.”

“Wow, thank you,” I said shyly. “To pay you back I could buy you a Mocha Late` at Coffee Central. Sound good to you?”

Nodding his head he said, “When will you do such a thing for me?”

“Well, I’m goin` right now I can bring you one back.”

“Naw, I could go with you it is about time for my break. I'm selling these tickets is for my brother Joseiff over there. He needs some money. He might change his name because he will get the chance to change it from J-o-s-e-i-f-f to J-o-s-p-h. It was supposed to be that way but the nurse couldn't spell worth a flip. I'll ask him if I can take a break."

“Okay, go tell him you are goin’ with me to have break.” As I said this I looked up and saw his brother who was an exact replica of this cute guy I was talking to, whoever he was. “I can get your brother something," I said without thinking.

"My brother...um…doesn't drink coffee," he said nervously in his brothers direction.

Shocked and raising an eyebrow I said, “Who in West Virginia doesn’t drink coffee?" Then I said, "Oh well, I got enough to get something to eat. Would he like a meal?”

“A much better plan,” he said, “but don’t plan on it. He doesn’t eat normally.”

“Is he Anare…?”

“I will explain at the shop…if he will let me tell you our secret,” He said with a bit of doubt in his voice.

“Ooohhkay, I’ll let you ask him and we all will see, I guess.”

“Sounds good to me, I’ll be right back.” As he ran toward Joseiff to see if he wanted to come, I just starred, transfixed on both of them like they were very big diamonds, which were as large as the hope diamond. I didn’t care if they were brothers I wanted them both sooo badly. I saw them talking it over and I saw Joseiff nod his head in approval but then said something to his brother.

The older brother loudly growled, as they walked over, “Alright, but if it happens again I am blaming it on you! I don’t want her to freaking out like the other one.”

“Yes, just don’t try to kill me, take a chill pill,” Joseiff said sarcastically.

When both of them were in front of me I breathed a simple, “Hi.” I just lost all common since. I didn’t know what to say to these gorgeous guys and one of them, I didn’t even know his name.

Joseiff said, imitating his brothers voice, “Hey, wuz up you very…sexy lady.”

“Uh,” I shook my head, “So you are comin’ with us?”

“Yeah…let’s…um…go I guess,” the older brother said.

“Cool,” I said.

Five minutes later all of us were sitting at a table in Coffee Central. I had already got out of them that Joseiff’s older brother was named Matthew, or Matt, as he preferred. Then as I was taking a gulp of my late` Matt said solemnly, “ If I tell you this will you keep it a secret?”

“Yeah, sure just give me a moment will ya?”

“’K,” he said. A few seconds later he had my full attention.

“Okay what are you acting so crazy for?”

“Well…my little brother is…well what looks like my twin in every way…”

“Yea, so,” I said not understanding.

He stayed quiet for a few moments then he pulled himself together and said, “My brother is his soul attached to a body I made out of my own flesh and blood.”

I had just taken a sip of my late` and I had spit it into their faces on accident. “Do what…did I just…," I said as they wiped there faces with there hand, "he's not in his own..."

“SSSSHHHH,” they said trying to cover my mouth but instead slinging late` in my face. I was speech less I didn’t know how to react to what seemed to be…absurd. The next thing I knew my sides felt like they were about to split into because I was laughing so hard.

“You have got to be kidding me,” I screamed in laughter.

“I’m not kidding,” Matt said as a small sense of frustration was building.

“Now hold up bro I got an idea, lets get her on our side, if you get my drift. Lets show her a good time from both of us,” Joseiff whispered to Matt. Then he winked with a menacing grin on his face.

I was still rolling with laughter while he said this, so I was not paying a bit of attention.

“Well Jenniffer,” they got that out of me while we were walking to the shop, “we are brothers but we are in a bit of a bind right now. Someone we didn’t want to find out…well you know. We are supposed to move our living position every few days but…” Matt said shyly.

“But what?”

Matt paused then finally said, “I don’t have a place tonight.”

“I don’t have a place either,” Joseiff said, pink leaking into he cheeks, “I was kicked out by…my…”

“I’ll say it for you, he was kicked out by his now ex-girlfriend,” Matt said

“Sorry. Hey, you could stay at my place,” I said enthused.

“Are you sure, I mean we don’t have any money to pay you rent for the night.”

“Don’t bother, I have an extra bed, and some Ferbreeze, not saying you both stink…”

“Not taken.” both of them chimed.

“I hope you won’t mind if one of you sleep in my room because there are only two bed rooms and there is only one bed in the guest room....”

They interrupted, “Great.”

Joseiff said, “We’ll get our things and walk you home, if its okay.”

“No problem,” I grinned
