Sorry i know its been forever sense i updated this but i've been working on my other stories and I'm sad to say i kind of forgot about this one. I know bad me. But now I'm back and I have SO many plans for this story. :D Oh and you'll hate Yang in this chapter, well if any of you like Rephaim, (which all of you do,) than you'll hate Yang in this chapter. You'll want to kill him, burn him, than go castrate Rephaim's dad. That is if you didn't want to do that before. Oh and here is where you get into some of the whole white and black bull mythology. Like you know how one bull can't show up without the other one following. Well that's i subtly get into here. You can't separate the twins. Even in separate rooms. Not only will they not let you but bad stuff happens when you do. So just an fyi, if you ever met one of them, don't bring one without the other. It's that whole Yin and Yang philosophy.

Disclaimer: You know the drill.

Chapter 3:

Dawn

Yin's POV:

Well were finally here. We made it to the House of Night. With almost getting chewed out by Em but still, it was worth it. And Yang was right, it will be nice to finally have a place to go that we can say we've been in for four years. And I think I'm going to like it here.

"OK," the nice Priestess who I'm sure name's Stevie Rae said. Her and her consort, the man with the strange soul, had taken us to a tour around the school and now we were at the boys' dorm. "This is the boys' dorm; the girls' dorm is across campus from here. But you can't go there now, its past curfew. Now, we can show you to your guys' rooms. Your roommates will help you get settled and help you-"

We had remanded silent the whole time but this is where we felt the need to intervene. "What!" Yang snapped making them jump. "What do you mean 'our roommates?' You mean to say we're not going to have the same room?" Stevie Rae blinked in shock. "Well, no we thought we would give your roommates who knew this place that way they can help you out, teach you the ropes."

Yang snarled. "What do you think we are, incompetent? Were not idiots you know." Rephaim finally opened his mouth and said something. "We do not think that. But you are new here, and the school is big. You will get lost, happens all the time. There is nothing wrong with that. We only wish to make it easier if you had a roommate to teach you what goes on here. That way you don't stumble into it blind-"

I recognized the look on Yang's face and I knew that he was going to hurt someone soon. I'd try to stop him of course, but I'd rather not, not today, not now. So I quickly interrupted Rephaim so he could stop shooting his foot. "Rephaim sir, were used to taking care of ourselves. And really separating us is a bad idea. We look out for ourselves and we don't need anyone's help; and were used to moving around and picking things up and being new places. We don't need 'roommates'. Besides by the end of this week well know this school so well it's almost as if you've been here our whole lives; always happens."

And that's true, it always happens. We have to. With how short of a time we spend in one place. We have to learn about the place quickly that way we can survive. And everyone learns not to mess with us. They always do. And soon these guys will learn it to.

Stevie Rae sighed and said. "Fine, but you both need a mentor. That's not negotiable." Yang and I exchanged looks than I turned to face them and said. "Fine, I guess that's doable." Stevie Rae nodded and Rephaim said. "It should be. Now I'm going to be Yang's mentor and Stark, Zoey's Guardian, will be Yin's."

Yang got a strange look on his face and replied happily. "Really, well I'm glad you're my mentor Rephaim. I can't wait to get to know you more." I eyed him carefully and shot him a "what are you planning" look. I knew my brother. He only gets like this whenever he either wants something, or has a plan. And whenever he got like this you had to watch him to make sure he doesn't like, kill someone or something.

I turned and focused my gaze on Rephaim and let my inner eyes look upon his soul. The dark shadows of his soul rippled and pulsed. I heard a dark voice laugh bitterly. The dark threads wrapped around the ball of Light and began to squeeze. The laughter increased turning almost cruel in its mockery. Then there was a dark flash and for a moment I was blind, lost in the Darkness.

Images flashed in my mental eye and I knew I was looking directly into Rephaim's soul, perhaps his inter being. The images showed an evil bird-man-like creature killing thousands of people. Innocent people that some didn't even know what was happening until he snapped their throat in half. The images flashed and sped up, years and years of killing innocents who didn't deserve this fate. He did it cruelly, heartlessly, without remorse or regret, and worse he enjoyed it. He enjoyed killing those people.

Than the vision wavered and showed the image of the…Raven Mocker...kneeling in front of an angel; he was bowed in obedience and submission and he was looking at the fallen angel's feet. "You pathetic scum you think you can get away from me, me? Ha, I could laugh." The Raven Mocker flinched but said nothing.

"You think you can escape your past, you thought you could just wave your hand and banish the Darkness away? You're a fool if you believe that! No matter how hard you try, no matter what you do to try and prove your worth to that pathetic Goddess it still won't change what you are and what you've done. You are a monster, a beast. No matter what face you put on, human or not, it will still be who you are. You cannot escape what you are Rephaim, you cannot fight it. So why bother, why try and fight? You know it is there, the Darkness that lurks in your heart. You have not told your precious Red One have you? Ha, what would she say if she knew? If she knew that Darkness still has his hand on you? I'll tell you, she'd abandon you. Banish you away from her side without a second thought. Just like I predicted she would all those years ago."

Rephaim shook his head, and with his head still down, said. "No, that's not true! There is still Darkness in my heart but she will understand. She will not turn from me, she will not abandon me." "Then why haven't you told her yet!" The fallen angel named Kalona demanded. "I do not wish to cause her pain. I do not want her to be sad. But she will not turn from me," he repeated. "She will not abandon me. She loves me!"

Kalona tossed back his head and gave a loud booming, cruel, mocking laugh. And I recognized it as the man who was laughing before. "Ha, and what do you know about love? What would a creature such as you know anything about love? How could anyone such as her love anything as monstrous and repulsive as you? Not to mention pathetic, you are a creature of death and anger, violence and rap, and Darkness why should she love you. How could you claim to know this love when you have been without it your whole life?" Then Kalona's laughter stopped and he sneered. "Are you sure my son that it is love this girl feels for you? Are you sure she doesn't just pity you? That she doesn't just feel bad for you? Poor, poor Rephaim; he doesn't even know when he's being fooled with. When he's being used and laughed at."

Rephaim shook his head rapidly and snapped. "That's not true!" Kalona stopped laughed and glared down at his son. "What's not true?" He asked in a dangerous voice that made me wince and expect to get hit, and I wasn't even the one being yelled at. Rephaim winced and hesitated, like he was thinking about staying quite and not getting this guy any madder than what he already was, but he changed his mind and said insistently.

"It's not true that Stevie Rae pities me. Yes there was a time when it was pity but not anymore. She does love me that is the only way she would still be with me after all these years. And I am not being used as a fool. That is not how Stevie Rae is. And I have seen the way she looks at me. And it is true genuine love, the same love I see in Zoey's eyes when she looks at Stark. Or Aphrodite to Darius; I may have not known love my whole life but this short period of my life I have known nothing but. It doesn't matter what you say Father, even all those other things were true your wrong about that one. Stevie Rae loved me and she still loves me. And she will continue to love me forever; even if she does discover that Darkness still remains in my heart."

Kalona's face flushed with rage and he screams. "How dare you speak to me like that! Who do you think you are? Have you spent so much time with those fools at the House of Night that you have forgotten how to speak to me? Let me remind you who you're dealing with, and how to show me the proper respect I disserve."

Kalona's hands flew out and smacked Rephaim in the face. He hit him so hard he cried out and fell to the floor. Rephaim's face was bruised and blood was smeared on his cheek. Kalona laughed and kicked him and stomped on his chest, breaking every rib. Rephaim looked up and looked into the eyes of his hateful father. His smile feral, his eyes alight with cruelty and violence and evil. His mighty wings spread out around him. Darkness pulsing in the air making it impossible to breath; and even has the vision faded Kalona was still beating on his once favored son…to death!

…

I jerked out of the vision with a jolt and I quickly shook myself. Rephaim stood there frozen, eyes glazed with horror. Yang was chuckling softly to himself, an evil smile on his face. Stevie Rae frowned and asked. "Hey Rephaim, are you OK?" He didn't respond, too lost in his own horrors. Comfort him, relax him. A voice in my head whispered sounding almost like a loving parent. Remind him of who he is and of his chose. Remind him of the Light and the love Stevie Rae feels for him. Pull him away from the pain and Darkness of his past. Only you can do it. Trust yourself.

I was confused, how was I supposed to help him? And who was that? It didn't matter I'd still give it a try. I closed my eyes and concentrated. Rephaim I thought and to my wonder he's eyes refocused and some of the pain went away. That is not who you are anymore, once upon a time yes but no more. You do not belong to Darkness anymore. Yes it is still present in your heart and will forever be a part of you but that is all. If anything it makes you stronger, not weak, not pathetic. You know about Darkness and how strong it is and that helps you fight against it. That's what makes you who you are.

That knowledge and love makes you stronger. This is your path now. Do not let the manipulations of Darkness stray you from that path. Your father isn't here; you are free from him; just as you are free from the bonds of Darkness. And she does love you. More than even she knows. Just as you love her, and you do know love. You feel it, you hear it, and you understand more about love than Kalona ever could in an eternity. You belong to her, and you belong to the Light. Relax Rephaim; Darkness will never again be control of you or your heart.

The Light that was inside of him flared and then burned strong; I sighed in relief but then paused. Where the hell did I get all that. Where did that come from? All I know is it was the right thing to say. And something deep inside me made me say it. Like someone speaking through me, telling me what to say. It almost felt like a force of nature or something.

Stevie Rae put her hand on his arm. And as soon as she did the power of love mixed with the Light where it burned so bright and strong it almost blinded. It almost overflowed and burned everywhere and everything with its brilliance. It attacked the Darkness destroying it. Until it held no home in his heart; it retreated with a scream of pain and rage. Soon all the Darkness was gone not even leaving a small finger print of the hold it had.

I smiled slightly and Stevie Rae said anxiously. "Rephaim what is it? What's wrong?" Rephaim blinked slowly and said. "Nothing Stevie Rae, nothing at all; I am just tired, that's all."The worried look on her face softened and she said kindly, in a voice full of love. "Well than let's get you to bed. Dawns almost up anyway; come on you need some sleep."

He nodded slowly and before they left Rephaim turned back to us and said. "You can find your room just fine from here. Your room is #9 your thinks have been already brought up there. I suggest you guys get some sleep, school starts in the morning."

We didn't say anything just walked up to our room in silence. Rephaim was right, they had our stuff already there and everything. Yin took one look at the bed turned to me and said. "I take the right side you take left."I nodded. "OK than," he said than flopped down on the bed and went to go to sleep. "Hey Yang," I said, I wanted to confront him about what he did to Rephaim a few moments ago. But it turned out to be hopeless though, for he had already fallen asleep.

Dang, curse Yang and he's ability to fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Oh well, I was pretty tired myself. It had been a long day with a life changing experience. I would reflect on that later, I compromised. Right now I just wanted to go to sleep and forget what I'd seen. So I closed my eyes, hit my head on the pillow and zonked out.

Wahahahhahahhahah! hehe. ;)
