Its inspired by Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson. Good song bro. I wanted to try my hand at a supernatural story again too, so here it is! :D
There's a place that I know,
It's not pretty there, and few have ever gone.
-Kelly Clarkson, Dark Side
Everybody has a dark side. Tori Vega knew that, and she knew she had one too. Her dark side was nothing like her true self. She knew Jade West had one too. To Tori, Jade had always been a dark person, but she never imagined she would be harboring an equally as shady secret…
It was Halloween, and the gang's table was buzzing about the holiday. "What are you going to be, Jade?" Tori solicited the raven haired girl next to her. "Myself." Came the response. Rex chuckled. "That should be easy. Your scary all year round." He sneered. Jade snarled at the puppet. "God Jade, take a damn joke." Beck crossed. She glares at him in response, and bares her teeth as she does. He narrows his eyes and they stare intensely at each other until Andre said, "Why don't you like Halloween so much?" Jade shrugged."I don't like it. Honestly, it's not a big deal?" "Why not?" Tori challenged.
"For one thing, I'm not a 16 year old girl prancing around in a stupid costume asking for most likely contaminated candy." The pale girl answered, looking insultingly at Tori. "Cat's going! I'm not!" The Latina shot back defensively pointing to the redhead beside her. The bubbly songstress's head rocketed up. "What? I thought you were taking me! You promised!" she squealed with worry. Blood rushed to Tori's face full of embarrassment. Jade could barely contain herself. She could practically hear the other girls heartbeat. She leans forward, enticed by the smell of Tori's blood. Beck sees, and jerks her from the table; dragging her towards the girls bathroom. When they arrive there, he locks the door and shoves her in a stall, pushing a blood bag in her hands.
"You really need to control yourself," Beck starts to lecture her as he hears Jade rip the cap off the bag with a soft pop. "Before you do something stupid." He listens to her slurp hungrily at the sack and grunt with content; indulging in the pure liquid. She kicks open the stall; squeezing the bag over mouth, trying to salvage whatever little drops were left before she threw it out. She crumples the bag and tosses it on the floor carelessly. Beck immediately picks it up after her, and tosses it in the trash. Jade sees and snorts, licking her lips. "So what? I can get a little dangerous if I want to." She answers, strolling over to the sink. He watches as she washes her hands, and dries them. "Just be careful, Jade. You're still new to this. You don't know what you can do yet." Beck warned. The young vampress in front of him scoffed. "Stop telling me what to do! Just because you turned me doesn't mean you can control me!" Beck's face hardened with concern and frustration. "Yes I can. Your sired to me." She looks at him through the mirror in front of her, seeing she was testing him; seeing he was serious.
Jade spun around to meet his eyes. "I could compel you." She heard him say. It wasn't a suggestion, it was a warning. "Why do I have to follow so many rules?" she groaned, pushing him. Beck chuckled, all seriousness gone from his olive face. "Because, it's either you do, or I tear you're not so beating heart out." Beck answered, making Jade wince. "You couldn't sugar-coat that?" She asked, shaking the image if him ripping someone's heart out, let alone hers out of her head. He laughed again, and kissed her check. "I thought you hated when people sugar coat things." She wiped the spot where he had kissed her in mock disgust. "I do. But that was just bluntly contemptible." The bell rang, and the two vampires walked into Sikowitz's room late. "Where were you two?" Tori asked, clearly suspicious, thinking she was picking up on something luscious and scandalous. Jade shrugged, indifferent. "Girls bathroom." She said, taking her seat next to Andre. She smirked as she felt Tori's gaze on her, astonished. She wanted a risqué answer, and that's what Jade had given her.
Sickowitz finally appeared in front of the classroom sipping on coconut. He dropped it abruptly and clapped his hands. "Today we're learning about playing with people's emotions! Leading them on and manipulating them to do what you want!" he exclaimed with an exceeding amount of enthusiasm. Robbie raises his hand. "What does this have to do with acting?" he asks, confused. "Everything!" their excessive teacher answered him. "The same way you can control someone else's feelings and emotions, you can control your own!" Robbie nodded his head, still not comprehending, but catching on. Sickowitz put them all into groups, and they practiced hypnotizing each other with old timey watches. Jade got Cat to admit she watches porn; much to the amusement of Andre and Beck, and Tori got Robbie to admit he still wets the bed. "No surprise there." Jade had scoffed. "You should see what happens when he dreams about Cat!" Rex had chimed. Jade quirked an eyebrow, Tori stifled a laugh, and Robbie thanked god Cat had left the conversation to find a wig for Mr. Purple. When she had returned, the two girls exchanged knowing glances and busted out laughing, much at the expense of the redhead in front of them, who was desolately clueless.
When the school day ended and Tori finally got home, she decided to go for a jog. As she was coming back, she noticed Jade sitting on the porch doing what she assumed was waiting for her. "Hey." She greets. The pale girl jumps visibly, eyes dilated like a deer in headlights. Tori's face crumples in confusion. "Why are you so apprehensive?" "You scared the shit out of me!" Jade snaps back. "What were you doing that had you so paranoid?" Tori yells back. Jade rolls her eyes. Of course Tori would think she was doing something illegal. "Nothing!" she answers back, jumpiness gone; agitation in its place. Tori resignedly shakes her head and unlocks the door, leaving it open for her somewhat of a friend. Jade slams the door shut and plops down on the couch. As she flips on the TV, she sees Trina out the corner of her eye.
"What's she doing here?" Trina asked her sister, disgusted. "I could say the same for you. Don't you have some big music producer or casting director to harass with your talentless personality?" Jade jeered, interjecting before Tori could comment. She turned around and glanced at Trina smugly, watching her mouth open and close like a fish. "Whatever!" she finally says, before stomping up the stairs. Tori pours a bag of popcorn in the kitchen, and brings it over to the couch intending to sit next to Jade. Jade promptly puts her feet up before Tori can sit down. Tori glares at her. "Where's your southern hospitality?" she asks grinning, using her infamous Tori voice. Tori doesn't protest or say "I don't talk like that!" Instead, she positions herself crossed-legged on the floor next to Jade. She looks up at the flat screen and realizes what the goth was watching. "Why Jennifer's Body?" she turns her head up towards the other girl as she says this, to grab her attention.
Jade smiles an off kilter smile and promptly says, "I like Megan Fox. Plus, I love Jennifer. She eats people and does whatever the fuck she wants." Tori's expression becomes fearful. She gulps and says, "But she kills her best friends boyfriend, along with a bunch of other people and tries to kill Needy." Jade shakes her head. "You're seeing the logical side to it. See, Jennifer did have it all when she was human, but she always had that constant need to fulfill her desires. As a flesh eating demon, she has one desire and one desire only." "To eat people!" Tori exclaims as if Jade's not getting the point, waving her arms extensively slicing each word as she says it as if they were a syllable. Jade pushes her arms into her lap and pins them there. "Just think about it," she went on, her voice getting animated and enthusiastic. "Imagine if you were in Jennifer's position. Wouldn't you want to have that power? Crave being feared? Crave being able to toy with people?" Tori is fully turned around now, and stares into Jade's eyes through the glint coming from the TV. For a moment she thinks sees a tiny sparkle in them, but dismiss it. "I think that exercise from class went to your head." She gulps again, as Jade's facial expression changes again.
"Just think about it Tori," she repeats. "Imagine having the chance to have what you want when you want because you can just take it." Jade exhales contently. "Why are you so obsessed with that feeling? The feeling of oppressive power?" Tori says breathlessly, the raven haired girl scaring her now.
"Because, Tori, I am a vampire."
