Everyone was in shock. Well almost everyoe. Jo looked kinda like heero when he gets a new mission. Her face and eyes were totally impassive. Heero even showed some shock. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes get really big. It was accually quite funny. Duo wated for something, some kinde of reaction from the others. Jo was the first to talk. "well, that was… interesting." Duo just nodded and wated for the others to talk. Heero did his usual, "Hn" Trowa and wufei just nodded in unison. Quatre looked shocked and slightly afraid of Duo. "Hey, Q. What's the matter?" Duo went over to the blond and reached out to put his arm on his sholder. Quatre flinched away. "Quatre, what's wrong?" Trowa asked."Duo, do you know?" he asked, ignoring Trowa. "Do you know about me?" Duo looked kinde of puzzled, and then a small amile appeared on his face. "Yea, qutre. I know. I'm sorry I kept this from you. But, I just couldn't tell you or the others." Now the others were completely lost. "Quatre, what's going on?" Wufei asked. "Well," Quatre responded, "I'm a witch. Only by hearitage, though, because I never finished my training.""Quarte," Trowa said, "how coud you keep such a thing fron us… from ME??" Trowa was sad, well for him, he was sad. Usually he doesn't say anything. "Oh, trowa, I'm so sorry. I don't tell anyone who is not in my line because if a vampire found out, he may try to hurt you. But duo is different. He hasn't tried to hurt anyone so far. But guessing on how well duo can hide his aura, he must be extreemly strong." "Well, if I lived this long around vampie huntres and stuff, I would have to be strong." I sat there, nt believeig what I was hearing. How could he be a vampire without me sencing him. He must be really strong And why hasn't he killed us yet? I have never met a kind vampire. Since he is strong, he must be able to sence what I am. I ask him and he does know what I am. I cannor fight for I am a witch by heratige. I had to go off and fight in this war before I coud finish my training. My space-heart said that there was something different about him, but I could never pur my finger on it. Usually vampires are anti social. Oh well, all I can do is hope that he is on our side. There is soething bug comeing. I can feel it. I heard duo talking about himselfe. About his life. I could tell that he could sence something about me. Ever since that day that he first showed up at our school, when he looked me right in the eye, and I didn't get trapped. I know that he is trying to figure out who or more likely what I am. What will they do once they finde out? This thought brought jo walkin down the road to her past………… ~~~~~~~~~ JO THOUGHT/BIO~~~~~~~~~~ My name's Joanna. I'm noone speaial. I was born on the L2 colony cluster. I was abondon when I was 4. I'm noone but a lost child. I don't remember much about that period in my life. There is something that most mortals don't know about me. I have been alive for almost 600 years. No, I'm not a vampire or a triste, but I am immortal. I stopped ageing when I was 18. I am an aurin. A witch with vampiric traites. Except, I am a little more vampiric that the average aurin. You see, my mother was an aurin, but m father was a vampire. In this universe, there are two worlds. The light world and the dark world. The light world has only humans, animals, and witches in it. Good things. But the dark world, the dark world has vampries, wrerwolves and metamorphs. Then, there is me; a person who belongs in neither world. There iws no place foe a vampire/witch hybrid. In the dark world, there are laws to prevent sort of thing from happining. Younever know who is in what world unless you have powers. For all you know, a dark world pwrson could be your boyfriend or teacher. They all are beautiful and irristable to mortals. To a dark world person, it is ok to do anythig with a mortal. You can do anything from toying with their hearts, to killing them. You just cannot let then know who you are. Soon after I was born, my father was killed by a vampite hunter. My mother and I were not harmed, but my mother lost her title as a witch. My title was not taken away because I could not help who I was. Shortly after that, my mother abondon me on the streets of L2. I was 4 years old at the time. A local gang looked after me for a few months. Then a group of aurin witches took me in. The head of these witches took me in. Her name was Jade; she was a vampire hunter. She was training me to hunt vampires as well. Once I was old enough to make up my mnde, I refused to. I ost my title as a witch for refusing to kill somethng that was almost my kinde. After that, I went back to the gang that took me in. there was a new boy there, he went by the name of Dan. Solo introduced us, and soon we became best friends. A couple years later, I had to go. I was 14 by then. I was adopted by afamily and I ran away. I was a loner. I descoveres, after I stopped ageing, that I could alter my appearance. I could give myselfe different color hair to altering the age that I looked. This useful trick got me adopted many times. I decided to trace my roots to see who I was. I went to the city of my birth, New Mayhem. I found out that my real name was Risketta (1) I also learned that I was part of silvers line, the strongest line of vampires who have the best fighting ability. I am Aurin I am vampire. I am Risketta. And Risketta I will be. ~~~~~~~~~~ end bio~~~~~~~~~~ I quickly snap myselfe out of my daydream ad leave the house. I will talk to them later. Now I need to be alone. I sence something big comeing up. I don't know what it is. But it is big. I call Quatre after me so we can talk. We quickly make my way to my house. It is morning; about 10. I know that my mother will be extreemely pissed at me when I retun after being out all noght. Ad on top of that, I'll be with a boy. Not that my mom has any problems with me having boys as friends, but if I return with one after spending the night out, well… it may just look weird. I open my front door and my mom starts yeloing at me. I can tell Quatre can sence the tention between us because he puts his hand over his heart. My mom starts her 'who the hell is this?" bit and now, I'm oissed. I know she can't see the pain that this is causing Quatre. I yell back, "Mom, this is not the time! No I was not out with him! Yes I was alone! No I do not feel bad that you were up all night worring about me! Me and Quatre have to talk. We're going to my room. if you follow mw, I'll do what I did last time, so don't even try it!" Whith that said, Jo ran up to her room with Quarter right behinde her, befor her mother had a chance to recover. "You really shouldn't speak to your mother like that," Quatre said. "I know. I can't really help it, though. Sometimes I get so pissed at her that I start to shake." "what was that 'last time'?" "Oh, that? Well, last time she yelled at me like that, I ran away for a week. That's all. It was kinda fun when I got home from my friends house and the cops were at my house. My mom doesn't know how much money I save. I went to New Mayhem, and visited my friend Hildi. Since, the cops are humans, they couldn't finde me." How," Quatre asked, "do you know about New Mayhem? Only vampires live there. And is Hildi a vampire like duo?" "oh yea. I forgot, you don't know." Jo replyed. "Shit! I forgot to get duo. Minde if we call him? I need him here too." "No, not at all." "Ok, I'll send him a message." With this, she closed her eyes and concentrated hard. Suddenly, duo appeared. He looked kinde of surprised that he was called here by not quatre, but jo. "Jo, how did you do that? You're kinda a human. You're not suppost to have that much power." Duo said. "That's what I have to talk to you guys about. I know that Quatre can sence something ig comeing, and so can i. I just need time to figure out what it is. Is tht ok with you guys?" she asked. "It's ok with me if it's ok with Q-man here." "It's ok with me." Quatre said. Right after that, Jo and duo tenced as if they wer one. Quatre say this and asked, "what?" "My mom is listining in on our little conversation." "We need to talk someplace more private. How about my priate house in mayhhem." Duo suggested. "Fine by me." "I guess that's ok. I've never been in mayhem, it's not usually place where witches go." Jo's mom burst in through the door. She looked shoked to finde not only Qatre, but Duo there too. Jo flasked her mom her best grin. "Hi mom, what brings you to my humble daster area?" Jo's mom looked from quatre to Duo. Duo grew his fangs and flashed her a smile. "everyone hold hands or else you wont get there." He said. Quatre said a quick and polite good bye to jo's mom right before they dissappeared into thin air, only to reappear a split second later in the living room of duo's house; right in the middle of New mayhem.
