Yin and Yang

Summary: A Jo-Jelly-Bean and Dreamcloud818 tagteam. Um... I guess we'll call it a Jel tagteam, since Dreamcloud is El, and Jo is, well, Jo. Plus it goes with the Jell-Bean part. Anyway, in a shifting accident, Lianne from Jo's 'Mixed up Emotions' falls into a paralell universe, meeting Faith, Dreamcloud's vampire shifter character. Love triangles emerge, maybe affairs... what will happen?

Disclaimer: Roses are Red, His Eyes are Blue(haha) We don't own mediator, so-never mind, this poem is way over done...

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE VAMPIRE SHIFTER SERIES!

Chapter Two: As in Paul Slater?

Lianne's POV

"B-Ben Slater? As in Paul Slater?" My voice trembled as I spoke. Charity stared at me like I was an alien from another planet.

But, I suppose, in a way, I was.

It was Faith that spoke.

"Paul's his dad. And if you ask me, he's a bit odd." She finished, trying to think of the right words to describe him.

It was weird, listening to Faith telling me about the guy I supposedly know.

But hey, this is an alternate universe, anything can happen.

Charity eyes me suspiciously, like she knew me. No, more than knew me. She could see right through me, into my thoughts, my emotions.

And worst of all, my secrets.

"How do you know Paul Slater," She finally asked, "Does he exist in your world?"

Faith nudged her. I think it might have been because my eyes watered up at the thought.

But it was too late. The question was asked, and the damage was done.

I fiddled with my fingers, unsure of what to say.

"Um, I didn't know him that well," I lied.

Sue me, I didn't want them to know just yet, I just met them!

But it felt like I had known Faith all my life. The emptiness that had been secretly chewing at me was filled. The emptiness I never knew about.

Until now.

Charity raised her eyebrows, like she still didn't believe me.

Jeez, if looks could kill, I'd have been dead a hundred times over.

"Well, this is kind of uncomfortable," Faith observed. I think she began to feel the tension building up between Charity and me.

And it wasn't a good kind of tension, either.

"You don't say?" Charity answered back sarcastically.

And they were meant to be friends? I'd never talk to Pru like that.

"Well, I think we should get you home," Faith said to me.

"Er, in case you haven't noticed, I've already tried that," I said.

What the heck is that girl on?
Did she think I was in Oz, and I could click my heels three times saying there's no place like homeand automatically get back there?

And for the record, I'm totally not as dumb as that chick from the Wizard of Oz.

Though her dog was adorable.

OK, Li, you're kind of getting of the point here.

"No! I meant, I think you should come back to my house. Though I don't know what my folks'll say, since you aren't exactly expected!" She laughed.

"Well, I guess so." I paused. "It's time to meet the parents."

There has been an idea for a twist... dun dun dun... What will Li think when she meets Paul? Magnus?

This chapter was by Jo, btw.

Love,

El and Jo
