DISCLAIMER: I do not own Victorious.

"I was only trying to help you. I didn't know this would happen." Holly had her arms wrapped around herself.

"Do you know why this is happening?" I asked hesitantly.

"I thought it was gone, I didn't know… I'm so sorry Jade." I was about to calmly ask her to tell me what it was but my father already belted out that question.

"What is it?! Just tell us! Are you the reason why my daughter has become like this?!" His voice was booming loudly and I was about to tell him off.

"You have no right to yell at my wife!" David just came in the right time to see my Dad's anger. He came into the room and set himself in the middle of my father and Holly. They stared each other down, my father was inches taller than Mr. Vega but he wasn't put down by it at all. My father eventually moved back and heaved a breathe.

"You are right. I apologize," he said looking at Holly.

"It's fine. David please," she squeezed his arms and Mr. Vega obviously relaxed. "Sit down, I have a lot of explaining to do, I guess."

"Gee ya think?" Trina says without looking away from her phone. Guess some things never change.

"Trina," Mr. Vega said in his cop-authorative voice, "put away your phone and listen." Trina whined a bit but reluctantly put her phone on the table with a pout. I roll my eyes at that and she sees me and glares.

"Watch it Vega," I say returning her heated glare.

"Oh please, like you have any right. My sister is probably haunting you because you didn't attend her funeral." She bellowed out, and my mind brought me back to that day then I heard something, it's not a voice, it's something like a heavy body being dragged. I started looking around frantically, I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't hear anything except that eerie sound.

"Stop it! Stop!" I shut my eyes tight and covered my ears. I feel something warm in my jacket pocket. I reach for it and I felt calm. "Tori…" A tear drops down on the necklace and soon enough I'm crying again. "Tori, help me."

"I'm here Jade…" I feel warmth all over my body, like someone is hugging me.

"Jade, honey? Are you okay?" I look up to see Mrs. Vega looking at me with concern.

"Tori…"

"Honey, I'm not Tori-

"No…she's here, I-I can feel her." I look up at her, eyes still glossy from crying. Everyone fell quiet and I could see Trina from the corner of my fidgeting in her seat.

"If you're trying to scare me-"

"I'm not!" I direct my eyes to her. "I would never joke of such a thing…I think she's trying to help." I look back down at the necklace. Everything becomes quiet again, but it wasn't like that eerie sound just, simple quiet.

"Let's settle down," she sits me back to the couch along with her. Mr. Vega sat on the other couch with Trina and Dad settled behind Beck. "First off, do you know the family of Eobionti?" she asked, addressing my father.

"Yes, the family of Life, correct?"

Holly nods, "That was the name of my family from millions of years ago, it changed three times to accommodate with the modernization of humans and society. My full name is Holly Ebion Vega and I am part of the Eobionti Family."

"We thought your family was a hoax, we've never heard of you for so long."

"I understand, most of the Eobionti family has always hidden themselves but there were those who would boast their powers of being part of the Eobionti Family. Some had even gone to wars and tried to bring back the dead and some had tried to create lives themselves. But most of them failed and most of the creatures they created were monsters. The Council has banned us from doing those dangerous things and made us vow to only use our powers for good, what kind of good we didn't really know since our powers unlike yours, aren't very specific. Yours can be used, say, for a murder case and you'd know if the convicted was lying or not. Our family merely sees life." Holly explained.

"But I see death," I told her, "not life."

"Our family believes there is no such thing as death just the end of this life and the start of a different one. Whether you believe in reincarnation or the life after death, there is no end to life just a start of a new one."

"Why did you hide? Did Tori know any of this at all?" she shook her head sadly.

"My family was fine living under the shadows after I declined the Demetrus' offer of marriage to their son," she said.

"Demetrus, the family of dreams." I said, I've heard of the many families with powers like us and I have always idolized the Demetrus family because they could see into dreams and create them as well.

"Yes, it seems someone knows their history," Holly smiled at me and I smiled back. "My brother Harrol had not been too happy about it though, even all these years, he dreamed of our family becoming the most powerful."

"Because it's not usual for families with powers to marry each other," said Dad.

"Exactly. Forging two people with the same powers would create such an incredible being. But back to us, I always had the powers but I was able to keep it back and promised not to use it when I married David," she sent a loving smile to her husband who had the same love Tori had for me.

She took a deep breathe, "Tori was young, three at the least, when she started talking about her imaginary friends. I didn't give it much thought because she was just little. I put it as just a baby thing. Then, she was seven when I walked in her room, she was lying on the bed laughing with nothing around her. I got worried and asked her if she was talking to anybody. And she answered;

"It's no one mom, just my imaginary friend."

"So I just shrugged it off, she was still a kid and soon enough she made friends and when I walked in her room laughing, she had a phone with her so I relaxed and thought of the past as nothing because really, after all that, nothing that would have hinted that she inherited my family's power showed."

"Wait, there was this one time," I said remembering something that happened in the Black Box.

Flashback

"Tori?" I entered the Black Box, I was about to call her again when I realized she looked like she was talking to someone. I hid behind one of the pillars and tried to listen in.

"You'll be okay," it was almost a whisper but it echoed in the empty room. She was smiling that goofy little smile of hers that made your, well mine, tingle and it just sent this warmth all over your body.
"Just follow it," she said again and for a moment something seemed to glow, to where I suppose someone would have been standing and it was gone in a blink of an eye.

I pretended that I just arrived by slamming the door then walked in casually.

"Vega," I called out and she scrambled to her feet, "what are you doing here?" I asked frown on my face but it was more for her actions earlier.

"Oh, I was just practicing a new song." She held out pieces of papers that had lyrics and notes on them.

"That all?" I raised my pierced brow and she nodded, her smile was tight but I let it go for now, I'll find out eventually.
"Well, come on it's late and I want to get my scissoring on." I whispered in a seductive voice and I felt her shiver. I smirked then walked off her following or more like tripping and walking up to me.

"Jade! Wait up!"

End of Flashback

"I didn't force her to tell me I just thought that I would be able to catch her again and have proof but a week went by and nothing happened and school kinda distracted me."

"It's okay, I-I should've been a much better mother," she said and tears were pooling in her eyes.

"Honey," David turned her to face him, "you are an amazing mother and you did not lack anything, I am not trying to blame Tori but she must have had a reason as to why she never told us." He caressed her cheek, " I don't know what or why but she would not want you to hold yourself responsible for whatever's happened." David looked her straight in the eyes, "You're a wonderful mother." He kissed her on her forehead.

"Thank you David," she said and proceeded to kiss him.

"Okay!" Trina shouted, "You are great but let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?" Her parents rolled their eyes but nodded anyway and she carefully sat back down. "Beck I could use someone here to hug, too." She started batting her eyes and Beck just gave her a tight smile and shifted farther back as possible.

"David's right, you shouldn't blame yourself I'm sure Tori just didn't want to worry you or any of us." I said looking around the room. "She's sure to have had a reason maybe it was some way to protect us, I mean, she's always looking out for us that must be why," I smile at a memory.

Flashback

This is the 4th party this year held by another Senior HA. I don't know whose, but I need the freakin' drink. I finally found the house in this huge mansion of a house and chugged down a tequila and the burn felt pretty good.

Andre and Beck were trying to flirt with some girls, Robbie is being Rex's butler once again as the puppet himself tried to smooch his way with some Northridge girls, and Cat is dancing with some guy on the dance floor. I've been observing them close enough and he seems like a good enough guy.

"Damn, this party's boring without her." I mutter under my breath. A few minutes later, a little miss blondie came walking up to me, swaying her hips.

"Hey there, you seem lonely," she said.

"Go away." I removed myself from the wall and started walking off but she grabbed me bythe hand.

"You're so uptight. I think I know howto loosen you up a bit," she whispered in my face and I could smeel the strong alcohol in her breath. Her fingers were playing with the waist of my pants.

"I have a girlfriend." I tell her off again.

"Well, I don't see here around. She must be some bitch to leave you here all alone. Let me show you a real good time." When she made a grab for the button of my pants, I made a grab for her wrist.

"First off, never call my girlfriend a bitch. Second, you reek of alcohol and there is no way you are any better in bed than her. Now get off!" I push her back and she gives me the stink eye until I give her my signature ice glare and she scurries off to some other person to flirt with. I took a deep breath and headed for the backyard.

There were less people here since the pool was indoor and I think they started some drinking games in there, that probably included stripping. I need some fresh air to think and I also need to apologize to Tori.

"Jade!"

"Tori?" I look off the far left of the backyard and she was wearing my black hoodie with some dark blue jeans, too. "What are you doing here?" I ask as soon as we were hearing distance.

"We need to go." She grabbed my hand and started walking me away from the house and unto the back street.

"What-" Just as I was about to ask, I heard some police sirens and we looked at each other and started running, she parked her car just across the street, far from the house. "How'd you know?"

"I overheard my Dad talking on the phone with his partner about a complaint of kids partying. When I heard the address I quickly snuck off from my room and got into my car. I think he knows though, but at least you're not in there anymore, so…" she shrugged off. There was only silence in the car, the police siren's a mere background noise.

"I'm sorry…"

"What?"

"I'm sorry…I shoudn't have gotten mad at you and I shouldn't have felt insecure about the whole play. I thought you asked Sikowitz to change roles and gave me the lead because I saw you talking to him before the start of the auditions." I felt tears prickling my eyes, well this definitely sobered me up.

"That hurt Jade, I don't think I'm any better than you or Beck, or Cat or any of the others that auditioned. Sikowitz cast those roles fair and square and I honestly think you fit perfect for the lead role of the girl. You're strong and convicted, you're perfect for it, I supported you, I can't believe you thought of something like that."

"I know, I'm sorry." I sobbed and my tears were ruining my mascara but I don't care. I just want her forgiveness.

"Jade…" she undid her belt and hugged me close, she kissed the side of my head and I already felt calm.

"I'm really sorry, please forgive me." I hugged her even closer and I held her tighter, I don't want to let go yet.

"I forgive you, just promise, no more of this." She kissed my forehead when I nodded and she leaned

back to her seat. She grabbed some tissue form the box and handed them over.

"Why'd you save me though?" She raised her brow and I pointed back to the house.

"Honestly, when I was driving towards here, I was still pissed but I still drove and I realized, no matter how mad we may be at each other, a part of me will always care." She smiled then kissed me on the lips. Man, I miss those soft cherry lips.

End of Flashback

"Yeah, she always cares." I say with a smile.

Hey guys, sorry couldn't update sooner. Also, I may not update next week as I have exams and loads of projects and cramming to do. So wish me luck on that.

I hope you guys like this chapter, a little history of the family and Jade & Tori's relationship.
