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 Jelly-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 Three: Yin and Yang

Faith's POV

"You seem to be weird around Li," I muttered to Charity, "Very weird."

"She's hiding something!" She hissed, "I mean, I'd be fine with her if I don't have the annoying tendency to tell when people have secrets."

Li suddenly walked up to us, and we shut our mouths. We were in the driveway of my house.

I opened the door.

"Voila!" I said with a flourish.

Li's POV

I looked around. The house was a nice place.

"Mom, Dad, Nick!" Faith yelled.

"Nick?" I asked.

"My little brother," She sighed, rolling her eyes.

A man and a woman walked in. They looked just like my parents, but a bit older, and the woman was pregnant. A thirteen year old boy followed.

"This is Lianne, a friend of mine," Faith mumbled, blushing as they kind of stared at me, since I looked so much like her.

"Hi," Suze-Mom- whoever said, a weird look on her face.

That's when Charity's cell phone began to ring. She flipped it open.

"Hello?... Oh, really?... Right there, promise, bye!"

She looked up. "Um, Faith? We need to go there. And I think Li should come."

Faith groaned. "Man," She moaned, "And we were just starting to forget each other!"

"OK," I said, looking at the manor, "Whoever lives here must be very rich."

"He is," Charity said, "But he inherited it."

"Oh, yeah, Lucifent," Faith smiled reminicently. But the smile vanished. She seemed so tense around this place.

"What's up with you?" I asked as we walked toward the door. She shrugged.

"Nothing."

"Major tension," Charity and Faith said at the same time. Faith shoved Charity. I shook my head.

"How are you two friends?" I asked.

"We just are," Faith smiled, "We help each other out, saved lives, all that junk."

She halted and looked at the door. Finally, after taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. Suddenly, a blood red eye appeared on the door. I jumped back.

"Huh," Charity muttered, "Looks like Mag's updated security."

"Password?" The eye asked.

"Blood for Blood," Faith stated.

The door opened. Everything was dark, and I noticed that Charity's tense muscles visibly relaxed, and she breathed in deeply.

"Nice."

I looked around, so morbid, so... I don't know.

"Nice to see you again, m'lady."

All three of us turned to see...

Well, the only guy hotter than Paul.

Seriously, this guy oozed hotness. Tall, a bit pale, black hair, sapphire blue eyes... sapphire blue eyes that duh into me, into my soul. After a moment, he turned to Faith. Two jewel-like pairs of eyes met, and they held the gaze for a moment before both looked away.

"This-this is Li," Faith stuttered, "You know, the one who came from the alternate reality?"

"You told him?" I said in surprise.

"In a way," The guy smiled, "I'm Magnus, by the way. Nice to meet you, Lianne."

How'd he know my full name...?

I looked at Magnus and Charity... there was something about them...

"Come into the living room," Magnus suggested, "That way... you'll b sitting down when you hear the news, at least."

Puzzled, I followed the three in.

"You'll have noticed," Magnus sighed, "Charity and I are a bit... what's the word I'm looking for?"

"Dark," Faith finished for him.

"Yes, dark," Magnus agreed, "There's a reason for that, Lianne."

"Why?" I asked.

"Any ideas on how to handle this?" Magnus shrugged his broad shoulders, looking to Faith and Charity. "I am new at this coven leader thing, anyway."

"Coven?"

"Look," Faith looked into my eyes. "Magnus and Charity... they aren't human. They represent longing, hunger..." She looked at Magnus for a moment. "Lust."

"Huh?" I was confused now.

"Magnus and Charity," Faith sighed, "Are... vampires."

OK. She HAS to be on something.

Faith's POV

Li stared at us like we were nuts. Hey, I don't really blame her. It does sound weird.

"You're all crazy," She stated.

"Not really," Charity smirked. But it was a vampire smirk. Li shrieked and jumped backwards.

"Don't worry," Magnus said, "We don't do the whole, drinking innocent mortals' blood anymore."

"Unless we're really hungry," Charity added, "But hey, guy vamps like Magnus only drink girls' blood, and girls like me suck the guys' blood. We're selective, and we only drink the blood of weirdos who donate it to us."

Li stared for a moment.

Then fainted.

"What should we do?" I asked in a small voice.

"You're the doctor's daughter!" Charity oh-so-helpfully pointed out. Glaring at her, I walked over and stared at Li for a moment.

"Um... stress."

"That was exact," Magnus said, rolling his eyes and walking far away from Li. Vampires can't resist an unconcious human at times.

I reached out, took Li's shoulder, and gently shook it. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

"Vampires?"

"Yep."

Apparently, she recovers pretty quickly, since she stood up and looked around, to make sure she was in the same place.

"Um... Well then."

I glared at Magnus. He glared at me. We kinda both stared at each other, and he looked extremely hot, and I resisted the urge to startv arguing with him, 'cause we both know where that always ends us up.

"OK," Li said slowly, "This weird feeling? Yeah, that would be ANGER. What is up with you two?"

"Nothing," Magnus and I said at the same time."

"Actually," Charity began.

Li's POV

Charity sat down and filed her sharp, sharp nails.

"They're hot for each other."

"We are NOT," I protested.

"Charity, shut up," Magnus said easily, and she glared at him.

"Yes, master." And made the 'Genie' motion. That's when it dawned on Magnus.

"Really, I just realized that I could make you shut up."

"Oh geez," Charity muttered.

"Why?" I asked.

"Magnus is the coven leader, and Faith's ex," Charity smirked as Magnus and Faith yelled death threats a her. Oh. That would explain a lot. OK, have to kind of resist temptation here...

"Anyway," Magnus sighed, "I've finally figured out why Li's still here."

"Why?" Faith and I asked at the same time.

"Yin and Yang."

"Yin and what?"

"There's a vampire legend," Charity explained, "That long ago, there were two sisters. Two halves of a whole. Yin, and Yang."

"Li would be Yin," Magnus said, "The kind, beautiful, pristine, twin. Though, of course... Yin can do some not so innocent things."

He stared at me for a moment.

Oh my gosh.

I don't know how, but he knows about Paul.

Faith's POV

"And then there was Yang," Magnus added, "The twin that was wild, and angered easily. She even became one of the Seven Deadly Sins."

"Which one," I murmured.

His gaze penetrated into me.

"Lust."

"For," Charity explained, "Yang was just as beautiful as Yin, but in a different way. Of course, despite their differences, they were so close... that Yin even followed Yang into death."

"Excuse me?" Li stuttered.

"Yang fell in love," Charity whispered, in a trance like state. "With a vampire."

I swear, my heart stopped beating. Magnus and I locked gazes for a moment.

"But the rest of the vampire's coven didn't like this," Charity murmured, "And one bit and turned Yang. The people of her village chased both her and her love, and despite Yin's efforts to hide them, both were staked. Yin, seeing her sister dead, plunged a dagger into her own heart, and pledged that one day, she and her sister would be back."

Magnus looked at us, then nodded toward an open case I hadn't noticed. It had two lockets, each half of a broken heart. One read 'Yang' and the other read 'Yin'.

"And they are back."

Well, that's all for that chapter...

El and Jo
