Christina sighed and waited impatiently at the Movie theatre entrance for her friend Jassy to show up, because Jassy lived in her own little world. Complete with it's own time zone. So she started to turn on her Walkman, when a voice interrupted her reverie.

"Hiya, Chris, sorry I'm late. Ballet class got held over because of the coming recital…" Jassy noticed the shock in her friend's sky blue gaze. "WHAT?" she asked.

"Jas, you're only 5 minutes late. What's wrong?" stated Chris. Jassy this close to on time meant something was wrong. Or else the end of the world was coming…

"Chris, the School of Dance is like right across the street even I can't get lost in that bit of space-so I'm on time" said Jassy with a slightly self-mocking smile.

"Are you sure?" asked Chris with a smirk. Jassy did not have a good sense of direction.

In response Jassy maturely stuck her tongue out at her best friend, her emerald eyes laughing. They hit the movie, a nice violent action movie complete with vampires, sex and a bloodbath.

"Jas, whatcha wanna do now?" asked Chris, who didn't want to go home. She wasn't quite ready for the scene she'd be facing when she got home.

Jas understood what she didn't say "We cannot go to my place either, Chris, my family is home. It is only like 11 o'clock if ya want to like head to Savannah and hit the new Goth club."

Chris sighed "But Savannah is 3 hours away…. I could fix the time, or…"

"I could fly us. Which means we can actually be there, stay till late and then you can get us time to sleep after" finished Jassy. One of the secrets that bound them so close, was that they were both different. They each had several powers that were not normal or supernatural. Chris had never told anyone but Jassy of her gift. They were both Wiccan, and both considered the talents simply gifts from the Goddess.

The two walked into a deserted alley. Jassy reached over and hugged Chris, turning them into a dark, misty, purple shadow and flying them to the alley beside the Blooded Garden. People stared when they walked in, like always. Chris had decided it was the shocking contrast the two friends made. Chris was 5'9, thin and angular with board straight, waist length, blonde hair with honey colored highlights and a dark suntan. Chris was dressed in a silky black tank top with gray jeans and silver chains with crosses and skulls on them. She also wore black nail polish and combat boots. Around her neck was the ever-present pendant she had worn as long as she could remember. A black onyx inlaid with the silver engraving of a fiery phoenix on a black leather thong. Jassy was 5'2 with shoulder length dark wavy hair with gold and scarlet highlights, curvy as her friend was angular and had moon-pale skin. She wore a silver sarong, emerald velour tank top and emerald green platform sandals. She, too wore a pendant constantly but hers was a dark purple jade with a garnet washed inlaid wave depicted on it.

The Blooded Garden was smoky, dark, and filled with mysterious music. It also has a black marble dance floor, and was lit by faux black candles that burned with green, red, and violet flames. Jassy headed to the dance floor and begin to move sensuously to the beat. Chris headed to the quiet back corner where people sat in chairs and on rugs near a fireplace that burned a dark blue. There in the shadows people read poetry and bared the pain of their souls, and the anguish of their minds. Chris was starting to read the first stanza of her composition, Suicide of a Rose, when everything disappeared.

Chris found herself surrounded by black nothingness, and sitting on, and being supported by the same black nothingness. She couldn't hear anything. Ok, when I find the bastard who put something in my drink, I am going to make the son of a bitch wish he/she was dead. That is, if I survive this trip, she thought angrily.

Soft laughter reached her ears. "You are not tripping, Lei, nor are you hallucinating. I have eased your mind into its subconscious state so that I could speak with you. It has been so long, I have missed you"

"WHO THE FUCK IS LEI!" shouted Chris "AND WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO ME! AND WHLE I'MASKING THE DAMN QUESTIONS WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!"

The woman smiled sadly "You are Lei. I am here because I want to help fix the mistake I made 15 years ago. To answer the other question, I am your mother"

ps R & R plz. So I'll know what I'm doing wrong and (If any thing) what I'm doing right.
