F.A. : Hello again people.

Jon: Hurry up with the chapter.

F.A.: Ok ok….anyway, sorry for the late updates. I don't own anything but Cade. On with the story.

Chapter 6: Talking

John walked back into the room where Cade was. She sat on his bed uncomfortably with an embarrassed look on her face. As he walked in, she looked up at him further embarrassed.

"Mr. Constantine, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me."

"Your vampire senses." John said coldly. Cade looked at him surprised at his response.

"I'm sorry-"

"It's not with in your control-" John said coldly again. Cade's look of confusion completely changing to anger.

"What is with you?" Cade shouted at him.

"Well, for starters you tried to drain me of all my blood." John snapped back. Cade looked back at him in shock until her anger came flooding back.

"Fuck you!"

"Any day!" John shouted back. Seconds later he realized what he'd said, blushed and started to walk out of the room. Suddenly, Cade grabbed his arm and pulled him back. Cade seemed to have realized what she'd done and let go of his arm awkwardly. John turned away as well and walked out of the room awkwardly as well. He had meant to be kind of rude to her so that he could deny anything he felt towards her. Yet, it left him feeling guilty as he walked to his fridge and poured himself a cup of his favorite liquor. He was about to swig it down when he thought he heard the sound of wings. He turned around and saw Cade standing behind him, her wings protruding from her back. John sighed. He had almost forgotten about her powers.

"I guess I better train you with your powers, huh?" John said sighing as Cade hugged her arms to her body. John looked into her face and saw that she had been crying. "Oh great" he thought "I'm such an ass".

"I'm sorry I almost killed you."

"I'm sorry too." John said quickly not wanting to explain why he was sorry. Cade nodded her head and suddenly looked at him confused.

"You said I had powers?" John looked at her at first almost surprised that she didn't know.

"Yeah you do. Apparently, you can teleport, fly and you have telekinesis." John said walking out of the kitchen to get his book on vampires. Cade looked at him surprised.

"Telekinesis? Cool…"she said obviously intrigued. John looked back at her and had to smile as well. Cade suddenly stopped smiling and turned to him confused.

"Mr. Constantine-I mean… John?" John turned around to face Cade.

"Yeah?"

"Why are they after me?" John looked at Cade and tried to figure out a way to put what he had to say into words.

"Sit down, Cade. There's a lot that I need to tell you."

Later on

Cade sat in silent shock about what John had told her. She couldn't believe how much John had told her yet she knew what he'd said was true. It made sense-why she was always so different, why she there were always people who stared at he as if they knew her on the street, why she had the dreams. John stood up and went to the kitchen to pour some water for her while she tried to make sense of everything he'd told her.

"Are you ok?" John asked when he returned with the water. Cade looked up at him and nodded her head.

"I just…I mean I always thought there was a world like this that existed in the human word but I never…"

"Yeah…you're lucky though. When I was younger, I started seeing things that humans shouldn't being seeing. My parents tried to help and made it worse. They thought I was crazy, that I was epileptic, or schizophrenic and a bunch of other things so they tried everything to stop me from seeing the rotting flesh of the half breeds, coming to the conclusion at last that I was possessed." John was quiet for a few seconds and Cade waited, knowing John had been grappling with this for a long time.

"You can't imagine what it feels like to be exorcised when there's nothing in you already-"

"-but if there's nothing inside you, there's nothing to exorcise-"

"It doesn't work like that. Those words the priests read are powerful words. Possessed or not, you feel them going through you and you feel as if you're being ripped apart inside. After that, I knew that I couldn't live my life like this." Cade looked at him knowingly and nodded her head.

"You tried to kill your self."

"I didn't try anything. I was officially dead for two minutes-two minutes in hell…worse than being exorcised five times." John said drifting off slightly. He didn't know why he'd gotten so much into his life story. He'd never told anyone but Angela about his life and yet, it felt comfortable to talk to Cade.

"My life sucked too. I mean it's not as horrible as being exorcised or being in hell, but as far as normal goes, it sucks. My mother died when I was nine. I had no immediate family and anyone that was able to take of me didn't want me. I never knew my father and don't really care to, but anyway, I was finally sent to live with my 25 year old aunt and her boyfriend. He didn't really like having a little kid around, a girl no less so he used to treat me like shit. He did it when ever my aunt wasn't around or was too drunk or stoned to care so that if I every told her anything, she wouldn't have any evidence. Besides, he brought in a lot of money, support and love for my aunt so even if she did know I was telling the truth, she didn't want to leave him." Cade paused for a few seconds and took a deep breath.

"As I got older, he would start to beat me, especially if he saw me hanging around any guys. He would call me a slut and say that I was a waste of air. One day I was walking home from school an two guys from my school tried to rape me. Timmy-that was my aunt's boyfriends name- saw what was happening and chased the boys off before beating me up and saying that I deserved it for being a whore. One day, it all came to head when I found out he had sold one of my mother's rings for $150. It wasn't my favorite but it was still hers and therefore mine for me to do with it what I wanted. I decided to get back at him in the only way an unwanted angry suicidal goth-girl knows how to-death." Cade said pausing again.

"When he was watching television, I took everything he cared about and burned it in the back yard. While it was burning, I filled the bath tub with water, took out a razor and slit the hell out of my wrists. He noticed his things burning sooner than I had wanted, but the effect I wanted was still there. He was livid when he found his things burning and of course knew to chase after me. He and my aunt were pleasantly greeted by my body floating in a pool of crimson water. Afterwards I regretting him seeing me naked in a pool of blood, but like I said the effect was what I had wanted. He was so freaked, he left the house screaming. My aunt called 911 and they saved me before I could die." Cade finished slowly as John stared at her in surprise.

"I'm sorry."

"For what? That bastard is rotting hell as we speak. He was hit by a car after wandering in the street from the shock of seeing me. As far as I'm concerned, I've been avenged." Cade said with a small smile. She looked into John's eyes as he looked into hers. They both leaned in towards each other when they heard the sound of a door opening.

"Hey guys, any luck with finding…" Chaz stooped in mid speech finding the two inches from each other. They moved apart immediately and looked down awkwardly.

"What were you saying Chaz? Cade asked her eyes still on the ground. Chaz looked between them confused before speaking again.

"Urm…Never mind." John looked back at Cade who was still looking at the ground and turned back to Chaz.

"I need to go out side." Cade said suddenly getting up and picking up her coat. John followed after her.

"You can't go out there alone." Cade turned to John, blushed and nodded her head.

"Ok." Cade said continuing to blush.

"Chaz, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure." Chaz said quickly. John almost felt guilty for making him do another errand for him.

"I need you to look in my book on vampires. See if you find anything that relates to Cade, her family, or vampires." John said as he grabbed his jacket, a small bible and a few small bottles of holy water.

"Yeah sure."

"I know what you're thinking, so just consider this your official apprentice test." Chaz' eyes lit up and John smiled at his happiness.

"Good luck." John said as he and Cade walked out of the apartment.

The end

F.A.: Ok, Ok not much, I know but at least I added. Anyway, I don't have much to say except that a lot more happens between John and Cade in the next chapter. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I warn you now, I'm in my second year of high school so I may not be able to up date for at least a month. I'm going to try to keep long amounts of time from passing between updates, and I should be able to focus more now that my other fanfictions are done but still don't expect me to up date every week.

John: what every but you better add soon.

F.A. I will…anyway enjoy…and as always, review.
