THE TOP NEWS: 12/10/98 Friday
Joanne is having thoughts about whether Nick is really for her, after she traveled to India to get a cure from a statue deep in the jungles, had to fight two poisonous stone snakes which bit her, a mercenary hospital found her and for the first few nights she was watched over by Lestat, she can hide it all she wants but deep inside she feels she has feelings for Lestat. Nick has no idea what is going on, and scary of all ; Lestat is having the same thoughts.
Kelly Christine, AKA Ivory of Spawn is dramatically changing, we have no clue as to what happened to her for half a year ever since her fight with Spawn, but now in the middle of the year she returned to collage. She had adopted, so to speak, the suit of Ivory nearly a year ago after foolishly befriending Al Simmons AKA Spawn and being nearly killed by Clown, her blood mixed with Spawns making her Ivory, same suit same abilities, except with a light beige cape and the ability to hide the suit inside her, as she discovered her powers more and more the suit seemed to change her, this was unexpected she was too weak to fight it’s effect. After the big fight between her and Spawn she disappeared until now, we gotta say she’s way more sexy, she wears allot of black and smokes and has a not too good of a temper. The other night she stood on top of the dorm roof and her old friend Jack (not that one) thought she was going to jump, he yelled and just then she changed into Ivory and nearly killed the guy.
12/12/98 Saturday
Clown has found out of the effect the suit has on Ivory and came to confront her to go on his side and Holocaustus came along. Ivory paid no such attention to Clown but had an attraction to Holocaustus and as things go with children of hell such as them, they ended up in bed. So now Clown believes Holocaustus, his own son, to be the way to get Ivory. Meanwhile Al is trying to find a way to talk to her without her changing and trying to rip his head off, a lot of good that’ll do him his blood changed her in to a part of hell and he must except that.
Defying everything inside him but his heart Lestat went to Johnny’s place in New York, Josephine having no clue to this, Johnny fascinates him, she’s beautiful, intelligent, has a good heart and yet so much like him it’s scary, not only the different Hell Cat unexplained but the way she thinks, sure the vocabulary lacks the experience over the centuries and his own century but the ideas are alike he can sense that though he cannot read her thoughts, and the poor thing has been through about the same in five years that he went through his whole immortality, plus he’s still trying to figure out what eye color shows which feeling (hint: Johnny doesn’t even know that!) truth is Johnny is fascinating, anyway back to what occurred, well she wasn’t startled or afraid when she saw him and she surely knew what he was, that was a surprise even though he knew what she is truly capable of, by the time he came to her it was three hours till dawn and funny thing is they talked as they lay on her big dark blue leather couch, she had on a red sweater and black tights, her hair medium length since she cut it extremely short just a week ago, she mostly asked him to tell her what it’s like, and the thing he liked most is that she had some argument whenever he made himself look bad, "you’re not a monster Lestat nor a demon, think about it you’re just like a mortal except you have a few extra skills such as me, people kill and eat animals every day, animals are living too, and a lot of people just do it for sport or fashion, you do the same thing, even less cruel, vampires kill to eat, to survive, they never keep their pray locked in a cage or wear it’s skin after the kill, you have to admit I have a point" god the girl really makes you feel good about yourself huh?.... well unless you’re a human who eats meat, wears fur and hunts.
Our most favorite, and certainly loudest information source, Jean Rubie aka Jeanie Luv, has a bad cold and totally lost her voice which is really making her suffer so she resorts to writing all day about Firbies, fuzzy little gremlin things that talk, it all started with the fact that after she got sick she was forced to stay in bed for days with hot cocoa, radio tuned to Z100 and TV playing cheap soap operas all she heard were Firbie, Firbie, Firbie and a popular person like her got effected, she really wanted a Firbie and a girl like that gets what she wants, BUT FIRBIES ARE SOLD OUT AND TO WIN THEM ON Z100 YOU GOTTA CALL AND THERE’S NO USE IN THAT IF YOU CAN’T TALK!! So this is all totally making her crazy. Hope you get better soon Jeanie, we all love you.
12/13/98 Sunday
Lestat met Johnny again last night, he feels guilty about not telling Josephine about this but when heÆs with Johnny none of that matters, and funny thing is Johnny feels the same way and is avoiding Nick, like Lestat is avoiding Josephine. They walked around New York carelessly, Johnny is actually very interesting, then close to dawn, she made a crude statement that all her life and Hell Cat life she's only been in two places, New York, and now India, and Lestat proposed to take her to Paris and buy her all sorts of beautiful gowns, how could she not? She agreed to take a scheduled flight during the day and meet him at some hotel, totally not thinking of Nick, and him totally not noting Josephine, he called his agent and scheduled her a flight, she then called work and took her vacation time, this was actually quite exciting for her.
12/14/98 Monday
Johnny had a marvelous time with Lestat last night, she got to Paris about 9:00 PM and Lestat was already there, he showed her the Theater 'Des' Vampires and the other sights he knows about in Paris, and bought her a gorgeous black gown with diamonds on it, a $25,000 diamond necklace and hair broach, she loved Paris and Lestat is as fascinating to her as she is to him. Towards morning he had to rush off and left Johnny but she got to the hotel all right, changed and slept from the exhausting night.
Kelly had met up with Spawn, she waited for him on the steps of the alley, after she tricked Zack and locked him up, just in case Spawn would try to cut off her head. As she expected he came and this is what we recorded between them:
"Kelly!?!" he said, his cape still out and waving in the wind, "what have you done with Zack? I know you took him" he added " yes Al I did, just a precaution, remember you kicked me out last time" " you started the fight" " I wanted to see what the armor was capable off, and after that mistake of a fatality during the fight..." she was interrupted " you killed that man on purpose, you sliced his throat with the armor in front of me just because he was there" " I had to show you, and then you cornered me with the chains, you were going to cut my head off and I had to plead for you to let me go, you do remember, and you told me to get out , remember?" she lit a cigarette with her finger " yes" "now why were you following me?" " I had to know how much you’ve changed, are you working with clown?" " ha ha ha, that moron? No, I found his son cute so I slept with him that’s all," she said and blew the green smoke from the cigarette in his face " funny isn’t it, the only reason I smoke this is that it makes me feel that nothing can harm me, that I shall be young and beautiful forever, that’s where I was, I practiced what the armor can do, it’s amazing Al" " it’s changed you Kelly, you’re not strong enough to keep your humanity with it, especially when you use it" "so,? I’m not afraid to kill, but it’s powers are marvelous" " their not worth your soul" "everything has a price that’s why I came here, to show you" she put out her cigarette and then kissed him on the lips and pulled back " now look, look at what it offers" she picked up a piece of a broken mirror and showed him, his face look like before the blast, before death " see, and it’s no illusion, I did it to mortals, lasts about a day, and with you who knows?" he didn’t answer "this is worth any price Al, any price, think about it " she said he activated the armor over his new face and disappeared as the wind. Kelly just lit another cigarette and activated her armor and cape, but leaving the mask off.
12/15/98 Tuesday
Sunday night, as you know, Johnny had a marvelous time in Paris with Lestat, and close to Monday morning he had to leave, when Johnny got to the hotel there was a message for her from him that said he had urgent business in New Orleans and couldn’t see her tomorrow night (Monday night) and possibly the night after (Tuesday night) but to take the money he left her and have a good time and he’d see her Wednesday night. Johnny rested and explored Paris all of Monday until one in the morning, when she returned and went to sleep. Tuesday morning when she awoke at nine A.M. on Tuesday she found a note near the door that said for her to buy a new gown and come to the La Sent.....ehh something or other restaurant at ten tonight, with no signature, she assumed it was Lestat. She bought this really beautiful icy blue dress with a silver rim and skirt, elbow length sleeves with bare shoulders, and put on the diamond necklace that Lestat bought her, planning to wear her hair up. Look I’d tell you what happens next but it’s only five in the afternoon now and she’s going at ten at night, I ain’t psychic you know.
12/16/98 Wednesday
After that fiasco two nights back, Spawn followed Ivory for a while knowing she in her present self would never release Zack, he found out she locked him in the basement of her apartment, and he also noted Holocaustus For once, when he was going to free Zack when ivory interrupted and she got Zack first, she was already changed in to the armor, the following conversation was recorded:
" let the kid go" he said" no, you will kick me out again, though my armor is more advanced, you are the one and only spawn of hell so I don’t want to risk, I’d have a better chance if I kill him" " you wouldn’t dare do that, Kelly, that would prove you’re not her anymore" he said and wouldn’t dare make a move on her since she had her hand as a dagger near Zack’s throat "well prove this al" she sliced his throat and at that moment gasped and grabbed her head, she must have realized what she’s done or something, spawns eyes went red, "oh god what have I done al I’m sorry oh god I never meant for this I just saw it all a part not of me nor hell oh god I saw it what you told me I saw when oh god I remembered Wanda and clown from when you first met him (sob) (sob) oh it was so easy when it was you oh god when I just wished to touch the cape and now Al please I, I can’t believe this al I’m sorry oh god" she rambled and fell to her knees but he didn’t buy it but then Kelly fainted, lost balance and fell he raised a sword, wherever the hell he got it, " no tricks, you’re not Kelly, go to hell" he was about to when Holocaustus appeared in a flash besides her, picked her up " she’s mine" he said and vanished faster than al could response.
12/17/98 Thursday
Shannon the crow, or shall I say the talon cause she’s a girl, sat there in the dark, the old three story house, in the bedroom that once had glimmering peach colored walls with the sun shining through the big window, but the window was now boarded up and the paint long ago peeled, Shannon doesn’t even know why she stays there, the house of her parents where she, Leslie, Andrew and her parents lived before her parents were killed and the girls got a job and a small apartment to care for Andrew, the house was abandoned years before Shannon’s death and certainly in no livable conditions, but perfect for a dead girl and her crow, each room was the way they left it on the day their parents were killed, you see this took place three years before Shannon’s death, the girls and Andrew were out and meanwhile some murders came to rob their house and found their parents, the girls never returned here not even to collect their things, so each room was the same except the windows had been boarded up, the paint peeled, dust lay everywhere and mice now inhabit the place, Shannon had always visited this after her death, somehow things seemed less painful, when you’re life is hell and you’re dead. After The Force or so to say (confusing) had destroyed it all, she moved to there, if you’re curious for that story read on, if not skip the next part:
You see after Shane, Shannon’s clone, showed up and Shannon agreed to team up with Luke to destroy her, as they did, it all went wrong, Shannon kept on seeing a shadow which at first had no effect on any thing, then things went wrong, firstly when Shannon went to help Julius on a shoot-out as she often did, the shadow appeared and pushed him into the line of fire, he was killed instantly no matter what Shannon could do, but all the other cops say he tripped, no one saw the shadow but her. The next misfortune occurred to Miriam the only one Shannon could trust, of course not as bad as Julius, Miriam’s farther was proven unworthy to care for her when the cops found him storming into the station and nearly killing an officer, hours before Shannon saw the shadow lurking around him and Miriam was taken away to an all girls school in New Amsterdam, the shadow didn’t give up at that, Shannon’s poor brother Andrew had to suffer to, someone planted a bomb in the foster parents’ house and the whole place was destroyed in the middle of the night, there was one more victim but not one you’d expect, she was on a charter plane once again fighting Luke, she saw the shadow one last time it stabbed Luke in the back through the heart, his weakness, and threw him out, now Shannon had no one not even her worst enemy. The shadow in her words and ours is The Force.
Hi Jeanie here!!!The other day I was supposed to watch as Johnny meets the person who send her the letter in the restaurant at ten, but well I was playing around with night goggles and missed it so I only got the story now, so this is what happened with Johnny Tuesday night: She went in to the restaurant after closing and immediately sensed the presence of a vampire, but not Lestat, she got some images of him through her night hell cat vision but he moved too fast she finally told him to come out, that whomever he was she wasn’t afraid and she finally saw that it was no other then..... Well to make a long story short, I’M NOT GONNA TELL YOU TILL I GET MY FURBIE!!! Blast yourself why don’t ya, HA,HA,HA,HA,!!!!
12/18/98 Friday
On to finish the Shannon story which our dear Jeanie started yesterday, Shannon sat in the room that long ago belonged to her, she heard something down stairs and hopped over the bed thinking it was some kids breaking in on a dare, the crow flew ahead of her through the giant staircase that swirled down on to the first floor where there was a giant hall and big wooden double doors that once gleamed of gold paint, but in Shannon’s mind they still do as they did years back when she as a little girl rushed down the bordello red rug that covered the stairs and to the glimmering gold doors. She wasn’t far behind the black bird. But stopped dead in her tracks as she saw who it was, why it was she had no clue to, out of the five it was him, Why him? The power hunter lives, he always lives "Shane" he was in no great condition, in the worst to be precise, she though deep in her heart was glad that she was not alone, Luke collapsed on the floor still sights on Shannon, she walked down the last three steps the crow now on her shoulder and to Luke, he surly didn’t come to fight, he came to seek help and Shannon couldn’t kill him down, even a murderer as Luke " I give you my word the game’s reset" his word meant it all to him, he was trusted for now and Shannon had to help.
Wondering what the demon huntress Nikki Sabara is up to? Well dear Nikki was in the Pacific coast of South America, after a certain Eeuyoko, the name of an ancient Mayan demon, and to tell the truth Nikki is way more popular than we expected, if you look at the top ten most pop. list below, by Jeanie Luv. Who's opinion really doesn't matter:
#1 Johnny Santor
#2 Eric Draven
#3 Sara Pezzini
#4 Kelly Christine
#5 Lestat De Lioncourt
#6 Shannon Vones
#7 Nikki Sabara
#8 Lara Croft
#9 Ariel Chyld
#10 Catzy
This list is very important and very hard to get in to even at number ten, this list refers to the most popular, cutest, and adventures person in the entire America, and in order for that they first have to know who you are, so seventh is good, and way to go to Johnny at #1 and Eric at #2!(to vote for this and other contests go to open VOTE)
I though still don't see how Nikki beat out Catzy, probably cause she's like a light hearted blond Lara Croft.
12/19/98 Saturday
There is a whole mess forming in hell as you know, The devil's cousin is Clown who has a wife Angela and four kids, Clown Jr., Arachnia, Clauditianna, and Holocaustus who is the youngest, he is destined to marry Barachi, the devil's beautiful part human daughter, everyone wants this marriage, because down there Holocaustus, who looks cute, actually is considered hideous and marring the devil's daughter that will raise his status, and Clowns reputation of his son, they both consider the other gorgeous but Barrachi has the hots, so to say, for Ezekiel a guy in a deal with her farther the devil, so she now hangs around earth changing shape and watching him, and Holocaustus doesn't love Barachi either, he has fallen for Kelly who as you read earlier, went totally out of it and he took her and disappeared and hasn't been found since. Clown and Angela's older son Clown Jr. Has been told to pick a human girl from earth, whomever he wants(Holocaustus was the only one told who to marry) and Clown Jr. Had his sights on a pretty Australian daredevil Mina Charles, but she may put up a fight, actually I guarantee that. Read her story next.
Mina Charles grew up in Australia, to describe her, she has short, about to the middle of the neck, dark brown but not black hair and brown eyes, her farther was a real time, so to say, Crocodile Dundee, and her mother a tourist, who once gave birth to her dumped the baby on the dad and left Australia, so Mina never knew her. Mina was raised by her dad and grew up in the adventures of the outdoors no other life suits her better then her adventures there. Her farther died when exploring a temple he found partly under water at a lake’s edge. She follows in his foot steps, she’s not in it for the treasure or fame of discovering anything, she’s a hard core dare devil in it just to see that she can, that she will go through with it, what ever it is, whether it is exploring tombs like Lara Croft or fighting some old tribe for the hell of it. She has no need for public and not many know she exists, but now that Clown has his sights on her how is the beautiful Australian adventurer going to get out of this one?
Lestat hasn’t returned as he said, and Johnny along with Luis and David suspect something, she wanted to join Luis to New Orleans, but after learning about a certain very powerful anti-vampire group in Paris, she decided she had to check it out. Certainly the members were no help but what troubled Johnny was the reaction on some of the members faces when she mentioned the name Lestat, the only thing left was to drop the badge and cop attitude and pick up the black cat suit, here comes Hell Cat. She is about to pay a little visit to the leader tonight in her Cat mode, she knows the group is real, they seen and even killed a number of vampires tonight she’ll see what they think of Hell Cat, hey if she scares him, she’ll find everything out.
11/20/98 Sunday
Holocaustus hasn’t been found or heard from, but we know where he is, he had taken Ivory to a small sanctuary near the cemetery, a place Clown would never think of looking. Kelly AKA Ivory hasn’t regained continuos since she murdered Zack. And Barachi is having trouble of her own, since she was ignoring her father by switching shape to different people around Eziekiel, but last night he was in danger of being send back and Barachi had to reveal her half demon self, which quickly averted her farther and she was send back, but she did realize one thing by the way Eziekiel looked at her, he feels the same way.
Johnny in her Hell Cat mode had sneaked in to the quarters of the Vampire Hunter organization leader Malek Gissan, to find out what he knows, but she underestimated the group, who believed her to be a vampire (hell cat eyes are similar to vampire eyes) and was attacked by a group of slayers with lazer rays. It was to much for Hell Cat and they knocked her out, luckily at that moment, Sara Pezzini was in the neighborhood, after her adventure with Lara Croft Sara heard Johnny was in Paris and decided to pay her a visit (they were partnered a year ago and know each others secrets). The vmh were not at all prepared to face witchblade and she easily defeated them. Sara helped Johnny to her hotel where Johnny explained everything and asked for Sara’s help, after all Hell Cat and Witchblade would be unstoppable together. Sara agreed.
Mina had ducked the final trap and was finally in the priest’s room in the ancient temple that half sank under a vast river lake, she had prepared for this for five years, since her farther died trying to get in here and SHE made it. It was filled with gold, jewels, and other riches but that held no interest to her, she made it that’s what mattered, she would take one tiny item to her collection as a trophy, but never to sell it she didn’t do business, and carve in her name on a wall as she always did and then leave the place undisturbed for someone else to get to, but know that she was there first! Pots and trunks lay and held beautiful things, what little trinket would she get? Did it matter? Nope. She reached her hand in to a pile of riches and tugged at the first thing, she then stuffed it in to her pocket, she loved surprising her self later, usually by a fire with a flounder roasting for dinner and herself being proud of what she had accomplished. She then walked to a wall behind a great big statue, took out her knife and carved:
Discovered by Mina Charles daughter of Willis Charles, take the treasure in good cause. Mina Charles 1998
She always wrote a different little message and of course the year, so people would know when the temple was found and how long ago, Now to find a way out of here she thought but today things would be different. She saw a small opening probably leading out, she hitched her rope and climbed but half way up her rope burst on fire near the top and she fell slamming her head on the floor, she saw Clown Jr. for a sec. "What the heck are you?" she whispered and then passed out from her head injury.
12/21/98 Monday
Johnny and Sara worked out the only possible plan other then bursting in the doors like maniacs with no proof Lestat had anything to do with them, Johnny would allow herself to be captured on Sunday night and Sara would help her out two days later Tuesday night, that would give them enough proof. Getting captured was not a problem, she burst in to the temple again and was sure enough knocked out by some sort of device, she awoke in a cage in a dark room, two lanterns hung on two sides of the narrow room and cages 5 on each side facing each other with a 4 feet space in the center walkway but why only 10 cages? Where were the others they must’ve taken here? She rubbed her head and slashed her nails at the bars a few times, no good the bars are steel, she noticed a female vampire in a cage next to her and asked what’s this place " it’s an execution cell, the cages are on wheels, they feed us every night some raw meat and every two nights one is wheeled under the opening and is killed by the sun, the one across from you is next, Tuesday morning he will go, the cage shall automatically switch to your left under the sun. I’m prepared, it’s no big deal honey" she answered, Johnny saw a shadow in the corner of the cage and switched to her Hell Cat eyes "Oh God NO!" she yelled out "Johnny!" he moved and pressed against the cage standing up "Nick, no I’m sorry, this is my fault if I never went to Paris. Nick" she couldn’t help it and began to cry "Nicholas I’m sorry" she said " it’s not your fault Johnny, Joanna" he reached out his hand through the bars and Johnny reached out hers but the cages were too far and they couldn’t reach each other, Johnny pulled back turned around and fell back with her back to Nick "Tuesday morning, No, SARA GET ME OUT NOW, you’ll be a day too late, Sara! Sob, sob, dawm it Sara use the witchblade!" she screamed but of course no one could hear her and surely not Sara "shh Johnny".
Why the fuck did it have to be that bastard, why did he live? Julius dies and Luke lives, why? what good has the bastard done? Shannon wondered, she wouldn’t dare kill him, he was unharmed, hurt, and gave her his word. He lay in front of her, in the guest room on the first floor totally out of it, but alive. She couldn’t stand it anymore she got the hell out of there, to a place where nothing good can come and where no one good ever goes, except once that day, yes that’s the place.
12/22/98 Tuesday
Johnny had no chance of freeing herself nor nick. There was only one thing in her mind that could work but at what cost? Dawn was coming in about an hour she had to. " nick, I have to, give me your blood" she said, the only thing she could with some pleading nick agreed as she knew he would, he bit his wrist and bled on to a small key chain and slid it to her, without a thought Johnny licked up the blood, it was a small amount but it didn’t go well with the cat antibodies as she though, her eyes turned blood red and her nails golden red she sliced through the cage and anybody in her way, she cut nick’s cage and the others, nick ran up to her, she gasped, blood came from her mouth and nose and she fainted in to nick’s arms, who made a quick escape.
12/23/98 Wednesday
Johnny awoke in her hotel room, Nick in front of her " the dark blood is almost out of her system" he said, but Johnny could hardly hear him, her vision was blurred and she had no clue as to if she was in her Hell Cat mode. "Nick I’m sorry about Paris.....about Lestat, he was charming, but I love you" she didn’t know how her voice sounded but she had to say this. Sara was there "what exactly happened?" she
asked, and Johnny passed out again.
Mina awoke in a black room she had no clue as to where she was or why. Clown Jr. came in she screamed and took out her knife "get away from me" she jumped on the bed, and passed him, slashing him and ran out, the fire the lava she was stunned "come back, you’ll miss the honeymoon, ha ha" he came after her. Mina could get out of any situation but not out of hell. He was about to grab her when Barachi came out of nowhere and growled at him with her fangs and wings out, " she’s mine" "let her go and don’t try to fight me" Barachi hissed, she picked up Mina and flew up " promise to give this to Eziekiel Stone" she told Mina in a normal voice and gave her a small scroll with a red lace, she got near the portal just as her farther grabbed her by the waist to pull her down, she through Mina up "I promise" Mina called the scroll still tucked in her hand. She fell out on Earth in to a lake near the temple " oh god " she whispered and then saw the scroll, she promised the girl, she had to find Eziekiel Stone whomever he was.
12/24/98 Thursday
The moment the blood left her system and her vision cleared, Johnny packed her things and along with Nick and Sara returned to Brooklyn, her beautiful Brooklyn with white powdery snow all over it, Sara went home to check out what she missed and Johnny and Nick wandered the streets, she explained it all but that didn’t matter, not at all now, it was Christmas eve an hour before sunrise. They had a snow ball fight and played around like kids, and then Nick had to return to his place. All morning Johnny spend putting up the tree and decorations, her apt. was small but she was going to have a small party, with all that’s happened she didn’t want to be alone. She knew plenty of people more or less like her and who would love to fool around once a year. Nikki Sabara, Treck, Eddy, Shanya Madrid, Dutchess Westdarn, Jordan Walker, Jeanie Luv and surly Sara. Nick would come as the sun sets, a party, perfect to clear your head and start over. Everyone came early about twelve just to help Johnny, Eddy kept on hitting on Jeanie, Shanya ate everything that wasn’t hidden from her, and Nikki and Treck were making snowballs from the snow collected on the fire escape and tossing them out the window at people. And the party hadn’t even begun yet, perfect, Johnny thought. Merry Christmas!!!
You probably don’t know this, heck we only learned this yesterday, but all children of hell, hellspawns don’t count thought, cannot stay on Earth between December 24 and March 24 they are automatically pulled down to hell and any human in hell is trapped there (Mina), that is why Clown was so desperate to get Mina to hell and wasn’t able to go after her once she escaped. And Barachi had to get message to Eziekiel because once midnight struck she wouldn’t be able to leave and Holocaustus, where ever he is, would be pulled to hell and there would be no way to hide from their destinies of marrying each other and yet wishing to be with someone else. But their children of hell what do you expect? Clown Jr. On the other hand would have to wait for his wedding.
Holocaustus knew the moment was coming, a few hours till midnight he could have gone now intentionally since the process of pulling you down is quite painful but the only one he ever cared for, his Ivory, was still out and there was no clue as to when she would awaken or how and he would stay with her until the end. Of course he could take her down, but what would that do? He would still be forced to marry Barachi and Ivory in her present state may not survive it, moving her was out of the question all he could do is wait as the big bells of a nearby church rang 10 P.M. only two hours left.
12/26/98 Saturday
Hey what can we say? No much happens around the holidays with the once we spend the past two weeks with, but letÆs go to a different chapter, hey Johnny, Kelly, Barachi and Mina canÆt be the only characters.
Tia stumbled through the cold wet streets, with her hands tight in her pockets, running away from the orphanage with only a book bag full of clothes, her diskman and a pocket full of change and a couple of bucks may not have been her best idea yet. But the sixteen year old girl with blackish brown hair and hazel brown eyes couldn’t take it anymore. She loved Michelle, her best friend and the people there but she had her share of secrets to solve and hey the other kids could find someone else to fix their stuff. Truth is electronics were Tia’s gift she could fix a broken T.V and not know how the hell she did it. Her past was a mystery as well, at six she was brought to the orphanage by a couple of men in black suits and she couldn’t remember anything but her name Tia Riley, but that name wasn’t in the files she seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Now she couldn’t wait she packed up and left to the only other place she could, an address of a house which came to her mind a few weeks ago and that she couldn’t forget, she now wondered the streets looking for that phantom house, if it really existed that is.
Amy had noted an interesting little story of a boy vampire and the watcher that she is, she learned this without actually meeting him, his name is Alex Elder and his senior prom was supposed to be this year and this is his story from his own, it was some time ago, him and his girlfriend Julie were planning for the prom, but one night him and his friends were attacked by a gang of vampires lead by the queen-bitch Rose the puppet and she made him a vampire and then murdered Julie to get his attention and so he killed Rose. And
someone is saying he's a chosen one or some crap like that. Interesting huh? Yeah we'll fill you in as soon as we can....which may be not too soon since the kid's even hard for me to keep up with and I'm the inf. Source.(to my friend who doesn't read the comic, I have to get you hooked!)
What could she do? Her society was first destroyed by one partly them and then Steven was killed by Catzy the vampire slayer and the fuckin New Breed was dying out faster then the old! Ha what a laugh, she and about three others were only left one of those Josephine, the sister of the slayer! Ha. But what did Cleopatra care for that? She was alive and quite hungry too, it mattered not of other vampires her breed or not. She would hunt and surely one of these nights she would find a companion. Cleo wore a dark blue cat suit and red velvet cape and hood. She saw her victim quite soon. And fed as she usually did. And then ........ I saw a sale at Marshals and lost her, Ha, Ha, Ha, ehh.
12/27/98
Alex stumbled through the snow, he won’t be home for the holidays this year or ever again. He wondered under a bridge where he saw a little girl selling white roses " wh-where’d you come from, young lady? Shouldn’t you be inside and asleep on a night like this? And where on Earth did you get those white roses? Well tell you what, I’ll take a whole bunch, so you can get home and wait for Santa." He took the roses and gave them to a poor homeless guy on a bench " everyone deserves some sort of Christmas, right ......?" he went in to a diner, there was a girl in a booth and the waitress and that’s it, he ordered a burger and a chocolate shake. Well to make an extremely long story short, some people came in who wanted to pass judgment on him, weather to kill him or not and they voted no and stuff, consult me for details.
Tia found the house, but it wasn't as she might've expected. It looked to have been abandoned for some time now. She climbed up the front stairs and to the boarded up door, she tugged at the boards and strangely enough, they came loose in her hand. She climbed in to the house, and looked around, sun shown through cracks in the windows, the house was empty and yet strangely familiar, Tia dropped her bag on the floor and climbed the spiral staircase up to the second floor, all of the rooms had been empty and broken but in one there were the remains of a phone. Tia sat down and picked it up, she fiddled with it and in an hour or so and had it back together. Sometimes she even amazed her self. She then heard a noise downstairs and climbed down to check it out, there were some junkies around her bag "that's mine" she yelped "well, well little girl, this is our turf and it now belongs to us" one of the three said "this is my house and my stuff, leave me alone" she said surprised at her own words but not enough to stop and think over it. " oh we'll leave you alone all right, ha, ha, ha." He came towards her as she stood on the third step, she backed up in to the wall, "huh baby" he said "I said leave me alone" she started breathing heavily, her brown eyes turned bright blue, she raised her hand to protect herself and then somehow made him fly across the room, the next thing she realized the other two jerked and fell down as if being choked or electrocuted, Tia grabbed her bag and ran, to where she had no clue but something told her to climb through the back. As she was escaping from the house, she saw the black car parked out front and the men in black suits walking towards the house, the same car she was dropped off at the orphanage, she didn't stop to look she just ran.
12/28/98 Monday
Tia had to return to the house, just to see as to what she had done to those guys and anyway where else could she possibly go? A runaway doesn't have that many choices. She crept inside through the back, a day had passed whomever was here before probably left. Right? She thought, "hello" she said quietly and then took a deep breath when no one answered. She walked over to the stair case where the whole mess occurred, no bodies, no sign of a struggle either. Good. She sat down on the bottom step and as she glared up she noted a shadow in the corner, a sudden fear came over her, it was one of the people from the black car and he was watching her, she had to pretend not to have seen him, then she sprinted up off the steps and took off for the back door, she heard the person follow and a few others join the chase but she didn't bother to glance back. She dived through the back opening and in to the back yard, she ran to the back and when she couldn't hear them anymore, glanced back while still running and slammed right in to somebody, she yelped but as she looked at the man, she saw he wasn't one of the black suits chasing her which reassured her somehow, he was about twenty he had long red hair and a mysterious face with emerald eyes and wore a gold, black and red sort of ancient looking fancy suit and red cape, a sword was all he needed now, she thought, he was two inches taller then her and she realized she was still in his arms. She heard the bushes part, the garden had tall grass and vines, impossible to see through, the people were coming this way and fast, she was going to pull out of his arms and run, as much as she wanted to stay for no reason she could explain." Be calm and keep your head down" he said, soft beautiful voice, Tia thought. He put the cape over both their heads and held her tight so she wouldn't move and get them caught, his red hair spilled over her face but she didn't mind. She felt the people pass right by them, she could hear their breaths, how could they not see, especially with the fact that the man's cape was red how could it hide anything. As the ones she was hiding from passed he lifted the cape "who are you?" she choked out "that's not important, sleep" he put his hand on her forehead and she passed out, he then picked her up and left more swiftly then noted.
12/29/98 Tuesday
She wore a silky sky green blouse, black jeans and beige coat. Her black hair tucked partly under a black burette and a purse over her right shoulder. Simple looking girl, her early twenties, walking along on a dark night with pouring rain, soaked as she was. She was asking for trouble. She had passed an alley way and heard a noise behind her, a noise no one else would hear cause it was made so swiftly. The one behind her didn’t know she felt him, but Jubil had her share of adventures, her time. And some bloodsucker thinking she was an easy prey would eat his words. "I’m not prey so lay off" her words certainly surprised him and he quickly moved to the roof, Jubil kept on walking not even glanced back "you’re on the roof watching me, I know so just face me then" she said loud enough for him to hear. He had to talk to her, the fact that he could not read her thoughts was unusual enough and now her talking like this. "How do you know? How could you tell?" he asked, she could see by his face he wasn’t evil as they get and was ashamed by this threat on her life. "I heard you. And zoomed in on you with my other senses" explanation simple enough. Right? "Was I supposed to be dinner?" she asked " I-I’m sorry" he took his eyes off her "I understand, really I do" she said "I-I have to..." he took off so fast even her eye hadn’t noted. Jubil paid no attention, she stared simply for a moment as if zooming in on him and realizing he was too far, miles away maybe, she never tested how far her radar stretched, and continued on, she knew he would come back, she amazed him, but he was a vampire and surely they don’t believed that vampires were the only strange beings. He would definitely return
.Tia awoke in a place beyond description, she was on a silvery silk bed, there was a covering over it, a door to the balcony was in the room covered with silk curtains, the floor was marble and a couple of candles stood here and there, she felt that she and her simpleton clothes were the only things to stand out. The ceiling covered in ancient artwork led to the cherry wood door with carefully carved designs. The door slid open ever so slightly. The guy with the long red hair entered, he looked at her without a word "what’s your name?" Tia whispered "call me Vincent for now" he said, he hadn’t had the fancy suit on, he had on some sort of dark brown red pants on and bare top, nice body real worrier, she thought "I’m Tia" "I know" he stood near but hadn’t moved closer as if afraid to startle the girl, but with his reflection who knew? "Are you all right?" he asked "I’m perfect" she whispered and took her hair down, it spilled over her shoulders "why do I feel this way towards you?" she stared at his emerald eyes "in time Tia, in time you’ll have all the answers, even the ones I don’t have for you" his voice was so beautiful, she loved it. She felt everything she did was fine, non of that fear that you will say something wrong or do something wrong existed to her. She slipped off her blue sweater and light blue jeans, showing her white bra and panties. She loved the room and bed and the glow of the candles. She stood up to him and kissed him, this was what they both wanted, wasn’t it? She thought , he held her close and they fell back on the bed.
"I wish I never came back! That Shannon the crow would not exist" Shannon stared at the cold dark sky this night, she sat in the rain, every part of her body soaked by the freezing rain, as if that matters, she dared not come to the house and see Luke again, the rain suited her fine and who cares. She just lay down and fell asleep. It was Tuesday morning she awoke, soaked and freezing, FREEZING!! She never felt cold, and her clothes! What of them? Where’s the leather? She had on a long peach dress and green puffy jacket. She hardly got up so cold and surely confused. She returned to the house and climbed inside "Luke!" she had to check "the power hunter?" she didn’t search, just collapsed on the dirty sofa happy to be out of the cold.
12/30/98 Wednesday
"Shannon what in the world are you doing in this old filthy place? And you’re all wet you’re gonna catch pneumonia". Shannon opened her eyes and twisted off the couch "Leslie! Oh my god Leslie!" she exclaimed, Leslie stood there and stared at Shannon in surprise, her long blond hair in waves as usual and she wore the brown trench coat (crow coat) and blue jeans "Leslie you’re alive!" Shannon hugged her sister " I take it back, you already caught pneumonia and are delusional" Leslie said, same old Leslie. "Les I gotta ask you something, please tell me three years ago when we went to that Halloween party, what happened?" Shannon asked "silly you, the car wouldn’t start remember?" Leslie smiled "now let’s get you home, I’ll be late for work" she added "you found work?" "two years back, duh, Chance is gonna blast me if I’m late for this job babe so come on" Leslie said "I-I’m sorry, I hit my head the last two years are a blur, but I’ll be fine" Shannon smiled, her wish came true, and that means the others are fine too, right? She had to check. She walked to her apt. with Leslie and Les rushed off to work, whatever that was, Shannon had to check on Julius and Miriam. She rushed to the precinct Julius worked at and spotted him in a crowd of other officers "Julius!" she cried "ma’am?" a police officer next to him asked "Julius you’re OK, The Crow didn’t spoil your life, she no longer exists" Shannon ignored the officer "no one is aloud to talk to the criminal" CRIMINAL! What did he mean! Oh no. She remembered how she and Julius met, he thought the gang member Marcus killed his sister Nelli when it really was her pimp, Julius was gonna kill Marcus but Shannon the crow jumped in front of the way and explained it all, without her Julius must’ve shot Marcus. She just blankly stared as he was taken away, but with her Julius was all together dead. Shannon ran out of there she had to see Miriam. She couldn’t find any trace of the girl. Why? Shannon got some records on the past three years and returned home to look them over.
Kelly was disoriented and her mind fading, she could no longer recall Al or Holocaustus or anything particular, just glimpses and no clue to what. She found herself awaking in a room with candles and her past like a bad dream fading fast. She looked around and got out of the sanctuary, just wondering down the streets of Chinatown. It wasn’t long until police noticed her, still dressed in the purple mini-dress and thigh high boots, and assumed her for a prostitute and had her arrested and all this time she was still trying to get over her weeks of non-conscious. "Well, after a grueling vacation back to work" Johnny was back on the force, she stumbled in to Chief Huggers office "any case for me to handle chief?" she asked "oh Johnny how was your week? Happy New Year by the way, and you BETTER be at the office party Friday" he smiled, he always begged Johnny to take time off, she worked way to hard. "Marvelous, I brought you a little souvenir from Paris" she reached in her purse and took out a little monument of the tower with silver letters on the bottom saying Lovely Paris in French, the chief collected little monuments and had many decorate his desk." How nice, thank you. But for now there’s nothing free, work the precinct for tonight and tomorrow I’ll find something" he smiled and placed the monument among others, Johnny left the office. "What the fuck is your problem girl!" a cop yelled at Kelly " Bill! Bill come down what is your problem, what’s the case here?" Johnny walked up to him "we picked her up Chinatown, seems to be high, she has no clue of her name or anything" Bill explained to Johnny "temper a little high strung ehh?" Johnny smirked " sorry, Jo it’s just my wife is pregnant and going through that stage with the little bell, Bill I want ice-cream, fluff my pillow, I think I’m gonna puke, and the bell, god that fukin’ bell I still hear it ringing" he grabbed his head "well, why don’t I take this one, you go on home and tell Heather I send my regards, by the way when are the twins due?" Johnny was quite friendly to her fellow officers and detectives, it was only her enemies that saw the hell cat side of her. "four weeks and it’s triplets she’s having, we’re still arguing over the third kid’s name, I say Margaret or Robert, Heather wants Kimberly or Chris." He said "go, she needs you I can handle no-memory here" Johnny smiled, Bill grabbed his coat and rushed off. "OK now, tell me all that you DO know honey" Johnny sat in a chair across from Kelly "I-I don’t know" she whispered "did you drink or go somewhere? Think slowly I got all night" "I awoke near a cemetery and stumbled through the city and then the officer brought me here" she said "where did you awoke?" "a sanctuary with candles, look detective, I’m not a whore, that I do know, and everything else is flashes like a bad dream" Johnny understood what she was saying, and she sensed this girl was no slut, (kinda funny if you read the later on stories). There was something very peculiar about her "smoke?" Johnny offered "do I?" she thought a second and grabbed the cigarette, she recalled lighting it with a green flame "I don’t think so" she whispered, the place was crowded and stuffy, hard for both of them to breath "let’s go for a walk, maybe you’ll remember" Johnny offered, this was very unprofessional, but the girl was no criminal, she was scared, she wouldn’t run. Kelly agreed, the cigarette still in her hand. The night was dark, Johnny had her hair in a bun and wore a bleak brown suit and a blazer. "I don’t know why but I think you’re not lying" Johnny admitted, Kelly noticed the cigarette and carelessly lifted it and lit it with her hand as she did always, then realizing what she did dropped it "how did you do that?" Johnny asked amazed "I-I don’t know" she whispered, BEEP, Johnny’s beeper went off, she checked it and ran to the nearest pay phone "stay put!" she told Kelly but when she returned from her call, Kelly was gone.
Tia woke up next to Vincent, who was still asleep, she didn't want to disturb him, she climbed out from under the covers and got dressed. She went out in to the long hall way also filled with paintings and beautifully crafted. She entered the door on her right, it seemed to be a collection of weapons and not guns, fancy beautiful things, mostly swords, the designs looked familiar. The cape hung in the room as well. Vincent entered " Tia" he said "these are beautiful" she touched the swords, they were also quite heavy "you may know you're not as ordinary, let me tell you my part of your story" he said, Tia turned around "my story?" she went near him "yes, let's go in the garden." He said and began as they walked down the hall " eons ago the earth was empty, out of the eight continents only Atlantis held intelligent life, people of beauty and skill and great worriers. The people's evolution aloud them to possess great power, but they were not of the twentieth century and surely had no way to defend against great tidal waves caused by the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs on the other seven continents. But the Atlanticiens knew astronomy and of the comet's arrival, so prior to the hit they send out an army past the gates of Atlantis to explore and spread life and also take all of Atlantis's treasure. But the army ran in to a problem of disagree and split four ways. One sight was uncovered years ago by a secrete organization C.U.D., near the Hawaiian islands. The sight was where the ship had sunk. While JUC examined the sight one of it's members and your father fell in love with a Hawaiian girl Aiki and revealed to her the secrete of this mission. One day he took her down to the ship and she got lost and the ship had exploded, Aiki was found unharmed and was pregnant with your father's child, you. Your father settled down and married Aiki. But years later, C.U.D. discovered and translated dialogues of the ship which told the story of Atlantis and the spread of the army and treasure and notes on the curse of it all, a women who would see the first treasure would give birth to an Atlantician child who would acquire the treasure, which seemed to posses the Atlantician power if the child learns to conger the Atlantician power it acquires from birth. In simpler terms, each treasure has powers, the first gave them to a child, the others to whomever get it, but if the child uses the powers she was born with she will acquire it. C.U.D. learned of Aiki and of you and returned to see the effect, but your father over heard that they would kill you if you knew so he, a great scientist also, put a memory destroyer devise on you so what ever you knew you would forget. He then killed Aiki and himself. The C.U.D. found you and thought of no hope of you ruining any thing, left you at an orphanage. And now that their so close to the second treasure they find out you ran away and are remembering things, they can't afford it so they felt it best to eliminate you now" he finished, that answered many questions but also raised many new ones "and where do you fit in to all of this?" Tia asked "that is of no importance right now, but I’m closer then anyone will ever be" Vincent said "I know" she whispered and kissed him.
12/31/98 Thursday
There was no trace of Miriame in Brooklyn what so ever, Shannon couldn't figure why, I guess she just got the hell out of this dump, Shannon thought, just then she heard Leslie enter "Les where's Andrew?" she called to Leslie from the other room "U kidding, Shane, Andrew is dead, don't tell me you forgot last year, he went in to that fukin house of yours and fell down trying to get to the roof" Leslie called "Hellooo, Earth to Shannon" she stuck her head in the room to glance at Shannon, she wouldn't cry, both ways he was gone Shannon or not, besides Shannon did too much crying already. "What happened to you?" Shannon asked, Leslie had a black eye and her lip bleed "nothing, I fell, now go I’m expecting company, besides you were supposed to get groceries last night" she answered "Les, really who was it?" "no one Shane get a life" Leslie protested "you work on the streets don't you?" this wasn't hard to figure out "stay out of this Shane........" RING, the door bell sound and Leslie went to get it, Shannon stayed put, she couldn't hear al of the conversation, mostly cursing. "Hey come on you can't do this " Leslie said. "Leave her alone" Shannon stepped out in to the hall "stay out of this Shane" Leslie protested "no" Shannon said, the guy took out a knife and Shannon tried to grab it but was cut, she looked at her hand, it didn't heal, she wasn't the crow no longer and what good did that do, Leslie is a slut, Andrew still dead, Julius is now a murderer, Miriam still gone, and Luke probably putting his wrath on someone else. Before she knew it the guy had stabbed her in the stomach, she gasped and fell down, Shane closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them the pain was gone, the floor no longer carpet, though still her old place, instead of Leslie stood some frightened girl with short blond hair and near them that same pimp, same situation, one difference, her clothes were back and so was that sign on her forehead. "Ha Ha you're next now that you're little friend is dead" the pimp yelled at the girl, Shannon suddenly turned around and stared at him "tell me something I don't know" she smiled and flipped up, she twisted and kicked the knife right out of his hands "I-I stabbed you!" he screamed "let me give you a hint, be careful who you kill with, you never know who's already dead" she punched the guy out, and walked past the girl. She went in to the room, took off her leather jacket and slipped on Leslie's brown trench coat which lay on the floor "let's pay Luke a little visit" she said to herself and left she still had no idea as to what the hell happened over these two days.
Johnny went shopping during the day, she works night shifts, and stumbled back home. She opened the door and felt a breeze, she put the groceries down. "Whom ever the hell is here I suggest you come out, I’m not in for playing games, especially hide and seek" she said, with a pistol in her hand and her nails silver and partly expanded "I’m sorry detective, I couldn’t remember anything except last night" Kelly stood against the wall. "Why’d you take off like that yesterday?" Johnny quickly put her gun in back and slammed the door shut "I was scared, but that’s not why I came back" she said " I was wondering around Manhattan last night and this person if he is a person that is attacked me, I could hardly understand him but he said something like, I made you what you are, that was my first mistake but you’re not Kelly anymore not after what you did to Zack, you’re part of them now, and I will send you back, somehow I managed to get away and came here" she said, Johnny lead her in to the kitchen. "How’d you know where I live?" Johnny sat down "I looked you up in the phone book, Joanna Santor" she answered and sat across from Johnny "so you’re saying someone is trying to kill you?" Kelly nodded "you said he called you Kelly, that must be you’re name, we have a start, what did he look like anyway?" Johnny asked "well a man burned in some accident I guess and then he sort of put on this mask and armor and cape..... I don’t know it happened way to fast" she said "I see, so Kelly, stay here for now and tonight I want you to show me where you saw him, he has some answering to do" Johnny said.
01/01/99 Friday
Kelly and Johnny approached the alley, Spawn’s alley, "here, it was near here" Kelly commented " I don’t see anything odd......" Johnny couldn’t finish her sentence as a piece of the living cape wrapped around her ankles and raised her in the air, "oh shit" Johnny extended her titanium claws and sliced right through it falling down and quickly jumping back to her feet, this time in her Hell Cat mode. "What the hell are you?" Kelly asked " tell you later but I think now the question is, WHAT THE HELL IS HE?" Johnny was on alert. The chains wrapped around her, disabling her hands and slammed her in to a wall. He moved to Kelly and had the chains on her throat, standing close to her. Kelly’s cape extended and her armor and she punched him in the stomach, out of response, but he wouldn’t let her go. Johnny rubbed her head "what the hell did I get myself in the center of?" she saw them both "but once I’m here, it’s shoot first ask questions later" she added and sliced right through the chains and they quickly pulled back and went after her but she jumped out of the way and got in back of him, flipped over the cape and on his back, her claws at his neck "I don’t know what you are, but slicing your head off would probably do the trick so don’t try anything" she said and dug her claws partly in to his throat, he moved away from Kelly pulling back the chains and cape. "Good, now what the fuck is your problem with the girl?" she asked "Malboaga must be happy, he got a new Hell spawn by mistake and she may actually get the job done?" he said "what? What the hell is a hell spawn? And what does the girl with no recollection to whom she is have to do with any of that crap?" she asked while Kelly stared at this whole fiasco "Malboaga didn’t send you? You’re not a demon?" Spawn was just as confused "depends on you’re definition of one, but no I’m a detective" she pulled back her claws and let him go, he turned around and looked at her "but you were helping the hell spawn Kelly" "listen I have no clue as to what a hell spawn is. This girl, Kelly, came to me when this demon, in her view, came after her. Listen she can’t remember anything so any problem you and her had, she doesn’t recall" Johnny explained, he didn’t answer and glanced at Kelly sitting by the wall like a scared child. "So what are you?" Johnny asked "Al Simmons, that was my name, now it’s Spawn. She was a friend until she turned on me, a servant of Hell as I was meant to be" he explained "I’m Detective Joanna Santor, I well, am Hell Cat. Dunno how one day boom get shoot and find out my hidden skills. Hum.." she explained "she doesn’t remember?" he looked once more at Kelly "no" Johnny said "her name is Kelly Christine, that’s all she needs to know. Oh and Joanna...." "call me Johnny" "don’t try to find me again" he moved so quick, Johnny didn’t see where he went. "So Kelly Christine, let’s go find your home" Johnny smiled, her eyes back to human, fangs gone, and nails no longer titanium. She helped Kelly up and to the car and drove her home. " stay here until we can contact you’re family, I have to go see someone" she left out the door and Kelly collapsed on the bed, alone in the dark.
Vincent’s mansion was a sort of cross between Bruce Wayne’s house and the playboy mansion, not to exaggerate, there was a garden, pools, beautiful wild life scenery and the house itself was very decorative. It was dark, Tia soaked in the nicely lit outside Jacuzzi, Vincent typed something on a laptop "you’re Atlanticean too, aren’t you?" she asked "yes, but my story is not important" he said "you didn’t tell me all of mine, how the power is transferred, what exactly am I? ........Why you slept with me when you didn’t even know me?" she said and climbed out and sat on the rim of the warm Jacuzzi pool, with vines around it. "Like I said early on, in time you’ll have all the answers even those I can’t answer" he said calmly. BOOM!!! The gates of the brick wall surrounding the mansion exploded and a few black vans and cars drove in, the C.U.D. people. One of them, looked like the boss approached Vincent, while the others went after Tia. Vincent took out a sword, one of the fancy ones, his hand the same blue glow, Tia had when she fried those guys. And a blue ribbon circled over it and the sword. "No need to get personal Vincent, we just want the girl and you can continue you’re low form of living" the guy said, he was older with gray hair. "No, Andreas, that is the name you’re using now, isn’t it?" Vincent swung the sword and Andreas took out a sword and met Vincent’s. "How could you ,you bastard, the treasure was never meant for one person" Vincent spoke as they fought "I change the rules, besides who’s going to stop me? You?" meanwhile this was happening Tia had somehow mastered her power for now and was protecting herself. Another guy came out of the car. "Oh and Vincent, I don’t believe in the code anymore, so I cheat" Andreas said, the other guy shot Vincent with some sleep stuff. Andreas approached Tia "now Tia, why don’t you just give up" he said, Tia shot a blue beam at him but he quickly reflected it with his sword and she hit herself and passed out, Andreas catching her. He then signaled to take Vincent and return to the cars and vans parked at the broken walls.
01/02/98 Saturday
"Spawn?" Johnny had to return, she was just too curious, plus something told her she had to know. Her shift wouldn’t start for another hour or so. Johnny went as Hell Cat this time, the black suit and boots. Just in case she runs in to some more of the unpleasant company these parts were known for " Spawn? I know you’re here, the cat senses have that disturbing feeling I felt last night" she said "what do you want?" "hey listen Spawn or Al or whatever you want to be called, that girl you tried to kill is my responsibility, for now at least, and the way you went after her I take it she was not such a pleasant girl before, I wanna know what I’m up against." She simply said "you wanna know what you’re up against detective Santor? hell that’s what you’re up against." He said and stepped out of the shadows, no cape this time. "What did she do?" Spawn didn’t have a chance to respond, gun shots came in to the alley, Johnny ducked out of the way, but was scratched by a bullet on her leg. "You OK?" Spawn used his cape as a shield, since the gunman was no where to be seen, it was like the bullets came from thin air "no sweat" she said "not very friendly place, ehh?" "depends on your definition of friendly, but no not really". No shots were fired after that, Spawn convinced her it was someone after him but Johnny can’t be too sure, she has her share of enemies too. And funny thing is Kelly disappeared, Johnny got home and she wasn’t there, and didn’t return during the day either. That raises up allot of questions and no answers.
Shannon hadn’t gone back to the house in days and frankly Luke was getting a little worried, sure he tried to kill Shannon, but that was the game, and what good is a kill without the game, the hunt. His health had quickly recovered, but he did give Shannon a few weeks, and Luke is not a cheesy sleaze bag, he keeps his word, he would leave her alone, for now. But his game with Shannon was the last three years and before that it was someone else, no match for Shannon though, none of the others were like Shannon. She might actually be his equal. But while he has to keep his word to her, he decided to go after a little lighter play. A game in pause of a game, or so he calls it.
It was a bit after midnight she had just completed a hunt. Catzy had bagged a couple of blood suckers in front of a building, and was cleaning off her clothes, let’s see how a slayer handles against Luke the power hunter, Luke thought. He jumped down off the fire escape, his green eyes stared at her, he surprised Catzy "Catzy the vampire slayer, right?" he said calmly, and suddenly threw a knife straight at her, Catzy caught it and threw it on the ground "very good, let’s adjust to hard and see how you handle, ehh Catzy?" he smiled and brushed his beige trench coat back "who the fuck are you?" she exclaimed " introducing Luke The Power Hunter" he grinned, and then surprisingly twisted and kicked her across the face, Catzy collapsed on the ground, she in return tripped him and he fell as well but quickly got up facing her "what the hell do you want from me you ass hole?!!!" she screamed and extended her black claws. Luke laughed he had a razor in his hand, but Catzy didn’t see it. He got up and distracted her by quickly moving his left hand, and sliced her on the face, Catzy put her hand over the wound, it would be some time till it heals, she thought " It’s easy darling, you’re the victim, I’m the hunter, this is the game. Be ready for round two" he smiled and quickly descended in to the darkness. "Oh fuck!" Catzy exclaimed "what the hell do these psychopaths see in me?".
Tia awoke tied to a chair Vincent besides her " Vincent?" she whispered, he had been long awake, he looked at her "if we’re in this I need to know! I need to know it all, what the hell is your story? Why were you and Andreas doing the Highlander sword thing back there? I slept with you, you at least owe me that" that wasn’t the perfect thing to say at this time, but Tia had to know "all right, you see back then when the people put the treasure on the ships along with the four silver boxes with power, they had to make sure that future generations would uncover it and the Atlanticean culture would live. So they choose two great worriers and combined the left over power, the one not put in the four boxes, and turned it in to immortality for them, but there’s a catch, once people open all the boxes and take the power, the immortality would wear off and they would live normally. The power works as such. One of them can acquire the power only if no human has it. Since you have the power from the first box, the power in the other three can go to any human, but if an Atlanticean opens it, it will go to you. If no human yet posses it, any one can get it. Those two worriers are me and Andreas, but over the years he decided he wanted to be immortal forever and that no human will acquire the power, but he would and he would live forever more." Vincent explained " very good, Vincent. I see you told our little secret" Andreas stood there "get the girl" he told two of his agents, they raised the chair "hey! Put me down. You ass holes let me go!" she screamed. Andreas pulled the same trick Vincent did and made her fall asleep.
01/04/99 Monday
Catzy sat atop a lone building, overlooking the ocean, the night was pretty much calm. "well, well, well, ready for a rematch slayer Cat" Luke stood behind her, and laughed. " I never did any crap to you, you psychopath! What the fuck is your problem? But if you wanna play, let’s play." Catzy stood up and extended her nails, her red brown hair turned pitch black. Catzy did a back flip and reached to hurt Luke but Luke jumped out of the way, " good girl, put up a fight, now let’s go over the rules" he smiled and took out a small triple dragon blade, Catzy hissed and scraped his hand straight through his leather glove " perfect, there are no rules, and anything is allowed" his dragon blade extended two feet, and slashed her stomach, her black cat suit tore in half. Catzy tried to high kick him but he bend back, and then pulled that same trick double, he did a high kick twist which Catzy ducked, and at that same second did a normal twist kick with his other foot and hit her right in the face with his black boot and silver shackle on it. Catzy fell back and groaned, "oh yeah and cheating is always aloud" he smiled, Catzy pulled herself off the floor, she had a black eye, her lower lip was bleeding and she bled from her fore head, plus the scar from the other day was still there. Luke flipped over her and with a rope in his hands and tightened it over her throat, held it with his left hand and grabbed her hands with his right, so she wouldn’t be able to slice the rope with her nails, and Luke is extremely strong, Catzy gasped for air "you wanted to play tough Kitty Cat, what’s wrong kitten need a breath of fresh air" Luke laughed, oh god I’m gonna die, this ass hole is actually gonna kill me, me! Catzy the vampire slayer..... Catzy thought. Luke held Catzy until she was too weak, he then kicked in her spine while still holding the rope she let out a scraggly yell. She then felt life leave her and at the last moment...... .... he let go, the rope left his hand and Catzy fell on to the floor of the roof and coughed and gasped for air, she had her hands near her face and wouldn’t even get up. She felt blood drip down her back from where he kicked her just a moment ago. "Well kitten, hope you had fun, I know I did ha, ha, ha. Prepare better, next time I will finish it. It was just too soon today, our second meeting. Luke two, Kitten zero. See you round three" he called. Catzy heard him slowly leave, she was in such bad shape she wouldn’t even dare to protest at how much she hated him calling her ‘kitten’. As he left she realized she was too weak to move and had a splitting head ache, fracture perhaps. But Catzy was too proud and stubborn to let anyone know, she wouldn’t allow herself to be found, beaten and bleeding, by her sisters. She used all her strength to get up and dragged herself home. Where she collapsed on to the bed.

"JOHNNY?" the voice startled her. Johnny sat at the edge of the bed in the dark, it was around six, the sun set a few minutes ago. Johnny hadn’t seen Spawn nor Kelly in a while, but what came next she didn’t expect. Johnny pulled herself up "Spawn" she saw him with cat vision through the shadows "what is it?" she asked "It’s Kelly, I never really did tell you everything that she is capable off " he said "was that her the other night?" Johnny spoke "no, I don’t know who that was" "where is she?" "my guess, waiting" he told her "for what?" "I don’t know" Johnny put on her boots and bandanna, her eyes changed Hell Cat mode. "That shooter, I think I know who it is, come on"
This was the punishment wasn’t it? Death wasn’t enough, they knew I’d never pick death. I was a ruthless killer, I shot too many too know, and the system dealt with plenty. So they took me, if I was innocent I could quit, but the fact is, I’m not, not at all. Java thought. The silver moon lightened the dark night, she was alone on the train station. Jeff would show up, any time now. How long was it she worked for them now? four years or so. But she had to admit they trained her well, before she was just a killer. A messy one too. She knew no fighting moves no clean kill. That fuckin six month boot camp sure helped, but those memories were long gone. She glanced at her watch Jeff was very late. She thought of leaving. Java walked through the doors and off the platform, she caught a cab home. No message on her machine, no phone ringing, and Jeff wasn’t waiting for her. Java flipped threw some files to get phone numbers of how to contact him, she had to, this was too unusual. Every number she dialed and beeper she tried to beep was off line. What the fuck is going on here? She thought to herself. There was one place she would definitely find Jeff and Kale and even Stephanie, who at one point tried to kill her, but with those events she had her answers and more questions as well, she had to go to Lock Base 5, it’s where she was brought at first, for the training and where they kept her first year, the other members lived there, not including Jeff but he spend most time there, that’s where he got the assignments and trained others, although Java was the best. Kale himself lived somewhere out of country with Stephanie, where Java knew not. Jeff supposedly had his own place in New York but Java didn’t know where that was either. She had to check out what was going on. Java threw her leather jacket on over an army colored shirt and black army pants with black boots. She hopped on her motorcycle and sped off.

Hell Cat and Spawn had one main enemy as she believed possible, someone she faced long ago, when she first became what she is. But what became of him since? She would have to wait and see if it really was him. She and Spawn separated. Johnny went home to look through what she had on him. Johnny sat on her lavender carpet with a little brown book in front of her and a metallic box, she opened the book and glanced through the first two pages "I never really knew much about him," she mumbled to herself "he wears a black mask and outfit and calls himself black phantom, or he did when I last saw him, as far as I knew his first name was Cameron, it was from his lips I heard the word Spawn first, surely then I didn’t know what it means but he sure said it, and more then once" she closed the book and took the lid off the box, in it lay some photos as well as other little junk, she looked through some photos and took one out "got it" she whispered, the guy in the photo had messy blond hair which could be seen since his mask was only over the eyes. Johnny shoved the photo in her pocket and ran out. Question is, was it really Cameron who shot at her the other day, and if not, where is this so called Cameron now?
Spawn returned to the alley after Johnny told him she had to get inf. and report to work, her shift would start in about an hour. He approached the top of the alley, and who did he see but the one and only Ivory aka Kelly, in her usual. She wore a leather dress and thigh high boots "Ivory" he said "no duh, my memory is back, I remember everything, from you making me what I am to......ha, ha,....when I sliced the kid’s throat" she smoked as she did before "bitch, it’s amazing you dare confront me after that" his cape extended "oh but Al" she smiled "no hell brat is gonna save you this time" Spawn said, Kelly jumped down and activated her armor "I don’t wanna fight, not now" she said "too late girlfriend" he tried going after her with the chains but she was too fast and the next thing he knew she had her chains around his throat "are you deaf or just stupid, I said I don’t want to fight" Ivory pointed out "fine, what do you want?" he asked, Ivory let go and changed back to her human self "I don’t know, I want to be you, I want to have it all but I would settle for you and me doing whatever the fuck we want to this planet, but you don’t want to use the armor unless to fight evil and alone it’s just not fun" she smiled "you’re sick" he said, Kelly turned around and walked to the edge "call you later, ciao" she smiled and jumped.
01/07/99 Thursday
Charleen isn’t what you state as a normal 18 teen year old, her family’s totally dysfunctional, parents divorced, her farther a drunk and lives god knows where, her mother a stripper and major slut and her older brother living in a fantasy world of cocaine and marijuana. Charleen dropped out of high school at sixteen, actually was kicked out for the possession of knives, she is in a gang and acts like none of this bothers her, she’s tough. But to really state that is that she acts tough and doesn’t show her feelings to anyone, ever. It was one of those nights, Charley sat in her lame excuse for a room, her brother walked in to the house stoned and started screaming at her mother. "I told you to lay of the drugs you wanna be a useless bum all your life" she said "you’re the whore who sleeps around" he yelled back, Charley stormed in "what the fuck is you’re problem?? Don’t we ever have a normal conversation around here?" she screamed "whatever I’m out of here" she grabbed her coat and stormed out the door. Charleen is quite pretty, she has brownish red hair with blond streaks, and blue eyes "fuck this" she said to her self. For hours Charley just walked around the neighbor hood, so no one would see her, it was around one in the morning she decided to catch a bus home, it was too cold any way. She heard a sound in an alley around the corner, and since the bus wasn’t coming another twenty minutes, went to check it out. She stepped in to the alley and saw nothing, she went deeper, "huh?" she stepped in something and glanced down, red, liquid, blood! She followed it with her eyes through the dark and saw a dead girl her body close to the alley wall, "oh shit!" she exclaimed. She felt someone grab her from behind, with the hand over her mouth, leather glove, he twisted her head up and that was the last thing she remembered.
Spawn knew Kelly had to be stopped one way or another, and so far Johnny was the only one he could trust. Kelly defiantly was not the shooter, he was not a big deal, could be handled later, but with Kelly it was big. Surely though Johnny was not so easy to get. She had been put on a case, one that was quite familiar to her, a killing, three men, their limousine was raided, we had the driver, the body guard, a lousy one too, and Mark DeRamos, the owner of an electronics company, millionaire. But the odd thing in all of these was that the killings were not gun, nor knife, they all were killed with an arrow through the heart, as you may remember (or not) Johnny faced a similar case when she first became a detective, when she first fought dark phantom as Hell Cat, though he had nothing to do with the murders, that she was sure of. The case had been dropped before after no new evidence was confirmed and the killings stopped but now Johnny was back on it. And that’s exactly where she was this night, the murder scene. "Anything?" she asked all the while flashing the camera, the bodies were gone but everything else remained the same, the limousine, the blood. Spawn easily found her he waited in the shadows for her to complete. Johnny snapped a couple of photos in side the limousine and climbed out "we found some microscopic hairs but it could be anything" a cop told her" Johnny glanced around, with her cat vision while no one was looking at her, she kneeled down, and signaled for one of the cops to give her an evidence bag "you found something Detective. Santor?" he asked, Johnny carefully placed the tiny golden object in to the bag "what is it?" he asked "I don’t know, but it looks like a pin screw, you know one of those things that are used to hold expensive chains or glasses together, I want you to take this to lab, I wanna be sure it didn’t belong to one of the victims." She handed the bag to the officer and went to her car, another cop stopped her "Detective. Santor I thought you wanted to finish examining the scene?" he asked "it’s clean, whatever we found was it, now we have to examine it, rather then looking for the big sign saying HERE’S THE KILLER!" she joked. Johnny moved to her blueish silver 94 ford and opened the door. "Johnny hey!" she whirled around "Nick!" he came up to her and they kissed "you were supposed to see me last night, remember?" he said "oh god, no, I forgot, I’m really busy, I mean with the case and....other trouble" she said "cat trouble?" Nick asked, Johnny nodded "Nick come on!" Scanky yelled from the car "oh Scanky’s with you? You better go" Johnny kissed Nick one more time and he ran and got in to the car, she waved to Scanky. "Oh dawm, how could I forget?" she asked herself. Johnny was about to get in to the car, when someone tapped her on the shoulder, she looked up "Spawn? What in the world are you doing here?" Johnny asked "looking for you, could we go somewhere else?" he asked "sure, let’s meet up by the alley" she said and got in to the car.
Charleen slowly regained conciseness, she lay on the cold cement floor of the alley, she picked herself up off the cement ôshit, what happened?ö Charley glanced at her watch ôfive in the morning!! What was I out for four hours, who hit me? I better not stick round here to seeö she quickly got out of the alley, her head sort of hurt, she was tired and very hungry but other then that perfect. She recalled what she saw before, the dead girl, the blood, that thought made her shiver, but those things happened in that part of town, that is if she didnÆt imagine it, she could have with all that was in her life. Charley thought this as she sat at the empty train station, the sun would raise soon and sheÆd be home by morning. She wanted to say her mother would kill her for coming home at this time, but she knew that was not true, her mother didnÆt give a shit, sheÆs probably at her boyfriendÆs house, and Rod, her brother, stoned on the couch, they never cared when she was kicked out of High School. It was five forty, and even through this cold Charley felt stuffed as if it was hard to breath, ôI gotta stop smokingö she told herself, her teeth hurt like hell as well, ôthatÆs it no more cigarettes for ...you young ladyö she said, she felt really hot aswell ôwhat are you trying to do commit suicide?!ö she heard a voice ôhuh?ö she whirled her head around ôsilly, silly you donÆt know do you?ö she still couldnÆt pin point the voice, someone grabbed her hand ôhey!ö she protested but everything was happening way too fast, ôwe got ten minutes letÆs roll!ö she still couldnÆt see who it was but it was so fast, all she saw were flashes, lights, her head was spinning and that was her last thought.
Java was so lost, what was going on? When she got to the base it was blocked off, abandoned, no trace, what was going on did Kale and the others actually abandon her? Was this what she wanted? To be free, no more assignments, no more killing, no more Jeff. How could they do this to her? Why? No, no, she didn't want this under no circumstances did she believe them to throw her out so suddenly. She had to see why.
01/08/99 Friday
Charleen woke up on a couch, in a huge room, sort of messed up but cool, she glanced around, "I see you woke up" the same voice that talked to her in the station "where'd you bring me you fuckin ass hole" she finally saw him,(what he looked like we will leave up to you) "lovely language to the one who saved your....ehh...life last night" he spoke "saved me? What?" she was quite confused, not as much tired but still hungry and her head still hurt "what time is it anyway?" she added "six, at night" he said "what! Oh fuck I had plans for the day, oh well I gotta go tomorrow noon then" she said to herself "ehh..no, not anymore" he said "what?! Who are you? What is going on?" she yelled "ohy, I always get to tell 'em. Clean up somebody else’s mess ehh? I couldn't just let her die, ohy now I get to spill the news, ha, ha, ha" he mumbled "tell me what!?!" Charley stood up off the couch "listen you must be hungry" he said, Charley thought for a while "I am" she finally said this, "drink this" he gave her a cup of juice, Charley raised it to her lips and took a sip, she smocked her lips as if trying to figure out if she liked it or not and then gulped down the rest. "Good, now come on, guess I better tell you" he took a deep breath "say, do you have anymore of this juice?" she asked "ohy".
Last night Spawn told Johnny the whole story but there’s nothing she can really do about anything. Johnny’s shift had ended a few hours ago, but she sat at her desk and looked through the lab reports, the gold pin had defiantly come from a watch and did not belong to the victims, and surely as she expected there were no prints on the arrows, that was her only clue, she was alone in that part of the office, paperwork, and the new crew would arrive in an hour or so, Johnny had just flipped the page of the report when the lights suddenly went out. "What?" Johnny stood up from her desk and since no one else was there turned Cat eyes and went to the basement, to check the wiring. She went down the steps and immediately sensed someone there "OK now who is it?" she said and extended her claws on one hand, she saw someone move in the corner, this was defiantly no killer, or anyone professional. Johnny walked around a bit pretending not to see a thing in the dark, she then approached the corner and grabbed the coat of the person there "hey! Let me go!" It was a kid " you’re a kid!" Johnny was just as surprised "nuh duh, now let me go" he struggled, ripped his coat and nearly knocked Johnny down as he ran across the huge basement, Johnny looked that way. The kid had messy dark brown hair and brown eyes, he was about fifteen, sixteen perhaps in Johnny’s guess. "Hey get back here!" a hand grabbed his hood "Johnny you lose something" Spawn said and pointed the kid in her direction "thanks Al" she said and approached the kid, he in terms hadn’t seen Spawn since he was with his back to Spawn "now what were you doing in the police station’s basement?" she asked "hey, I didn’t do anything, I’m sorry I flipped the light switch by mistake, I was looking for gas oil, or anything like that" he confesses "mmm-huh, so what’s your name and why exactly do you want gas oil?" "I’m Kevin, OK, Susan wanted this stupid doll for the holidays, this guy said he’d trade it for a gallon of oil." He said "who is Susan?" " my ten year old sister, NOW there’s no way I’m giving her up, I promised my parents" he started trying to break free but Spawn wouldn’t let go "shh, Kevin no one wants to take anybody away. You and ehh..Susan are homeless right?" Johnny asked "no,...well sorta, we have a garage, but I’m not showing you cops anything" he said "OK, Kevin, you don’t have to show me anything, nor my friend there" she said and reached in to her pocket "here, take this" she handed the kid some money, he looked at it and stuffed it in his pocket "let him go Spawn" she said, the kid didn’t even bother to look and ran away out the back door, "ahh, poor kid" she sight "so what do you want?" she turned to Spawn "is it Kelly?" she added.
01/09/99 Saturday
It was two days and he still hadn’t told her, but frankly he was getting tired of it, she was eating all his dinner, the girl had to learn, Charley lay on the couch and tangled a piece of her hair "Charley, listen I... ehh..been keeping something from you" he confessed "nuh-duh" she glanced at him "well that person that grabbed you in the alley, he was well, a vampire" "vampire? What? Get a life" she reacted "no really and you’re a vampire" he finally said it "no, no, no I don’t believe in vampires" she said, he showed her his fangs, "believe this?" he said "oh fuck! OK, but I’m not a vampire!" she got up "denial, all fledglings go through it" "oh my god" she put her hand over her forehead "OK, let’s state for a minute that I am a......vampire, which I’m not!, but what’s the deal anyway" she asked " no sun, need blood, the usual, oh and we DO NOT fear crosses or garlic, nor turn in to animals of any sort" he explained "blood? There you have it, I don’t drink blood, I never even tried it!" she exclaimed "what do you think you’ve been drinking? That was my lunch!" he said "oh shit maybe I am what you say I am, this sure beats Denvir’s fantasy land" she sort of joked. It was silent Charleen was trying to admit to herself that she’s dead, not an easy thing, and he was trying to think of what to say next, though Charley beat him to it "now what?" she asked "you gotta learn to hunt, I’m running low on supplies" he exclaimed "so like now what? Can vampires, like fly or something" she asked "getting way ahead Char, now listen have yourself the rest of my storage, I gotta talk to someone" he made a face "oh god" she whispered "fledgling, why the hell do I get involved, ohy" he went out. He approached the building, Catzy sat on the steps "hey listen Catz, I ...ugh...have a slight problem, ha, ha," Catzy lifted her head "oh no, Dias, The world’s most annoying vampire! What do you want?" she stared at him "new one" she gave a smile "Dias I told you to stop it! You can not bring some weirdo in to vampire life just because he looks ‘funky’" she exclaimed "that was one hundred years ago I get the point, she’s not my fledgling, some bastard left her I couldn’t let her BBQ herself" he said "so where’s the girl now?" "my place" "the pigsty!" she exclaimed "it’s not that bad, you always had it in for my houses" he said "whatever, let’s not get in to this now, bring the girl here tomorrow night, maybe I can actually teach her something useful" Catzy said "hey, I can teach her to hunt!" he said "but aren’t you trying to get her on my hands now, that is why you came here right?" Catzy said and Dias thought for a minute "...ehh right" he said "ohy" Catzy exclaimed.
Johnny had to go to a party held for their precinct held on the top floor of some crystal building in Manhattan, she wore one of the four Paris gowns, black with sparkles, third one, she hated the party but had to go since she was one of the best, though truly she’d much rather be out with Spawn searching for Kelly. She had a few drinks and talked to some people though she spend the most time on the balcony. Towards the end of the night she was driving her silver ford home, when a little girl with messy blond hair got right in front of the car, Johnny hit the breaks and the girl screamed but the car managed to stop right in front of her, Johnny got out "are you all right?" she asked, the girl nodded "my brother, these people they jumped him and....." she mumbled "shh, go sit in the car" she told the girl, thank god she changed in to shirt and jeans back in the bathroom, she thought and went down that alley, sure enough some gang boys attacking a kid "OK now let him go, I’m a cop" she took out her badge, the gang dropped the kid and went after her "so?" one of them said "why doesn’t that ever work? I mean really, can’t they just see a badge and give up?" she said "not that easy" another one added they had knifes, time to get serious, Johnny’s eyes changed and her nails extended "what the hell are you?" that just scared them right of easier than usual, she hid what she was and approached the kid "Kevin?" he wiped the blood of his lip "you’re the cop lady" he said "yeah, it’s Johnny, are those the kids?" she asked "yeah, they kicked us out of the basement" Johnny helped him up "come on, your sister’s in my car" she said.
01/10/99 Sunday
Spawn went by Johnny’s place and found her not there so he waited for her to return. Johnny opened the door and proceeded through her dark apartment, her Hell Cat vision off. She went in to the main room. His figure startled her for a sec. Before she realized it was him. "What are you doing here?" she whispered "why are you whispering?" he said as Susan pocked her head in to the door "Johnny who’s he?" she asked, Kevin looked in too. "Hey who’s the guy?" he asked Johnny "I like your outfit" Susan said, Johnny and Spawn looked at each other silently for a second. "That’s a friend, his name is....Al" Johnny finally said "take Susan to my bed room in across from the kitchen, put her to bed I’ll be right there" Johnny told Kevin and the kids disappeared in to the next room. "That’s the kid from..." Spawn recognized Kevin "mmmh-hum" Johnny nodded "look, I have no time for Kelly now, besides she hasn’t caused trouble. Oh and don’t mention..." she wondered off "I won’t" Spawn said and seemed to have disappeared. Johnny dropped her coat on the couch and sight.
01/12/99 Tuesday
Catzy had arrived by the old house Dias lived in, disgusting, she thought, but Dias always had his way. She didn’t really want to do this but it way prove useful if she ever runs into this girl in a century or two. Catzy found Dias on the couch eating nachos and watching late night cable. "Why in the world do you eat? You can’t taste a thing" she got his attention "ehh?" he answered, Catz had been asking him that ever since they met in Virginia a few centuries ago, at first he tried to answer her but as the times passed resulted to a simple ‘ehh?’. "so where’s the girl?" she asked "well, ya see...she sorta not here" he said "what?" "she’s not here when I came back, I was gonna look for her...when...." Catzy interrupted "you tripped over the remote turning on the TV, and fell on the couch, somehow landed and mistakenly opened the nachos, ehh? Am I close?" she said sarcastically "ugh" he stood up "all right, all right let’s we go look for ‘er" he said "we? No, no, no you go look for her, I got other stuff to do" Catzy said "ohy".
Johnny had her case all tangled, there were no leads, nothing, she came home. Susan and Kevin were watching TV. "Hey guys" she said "hey Johnny, thanks for letting us stay here" Kevin said "I hardly use the place anyway" she said "hey, this detective guy stopped by earlier looking for you" Kevin said. "Nick" Johnny whispered to her self, she walked on to the stairway, he would be waiting for her. "Nick" she said "those kids Johnny, I ran up on them" he said "this doesn’t concern you" Johnny told him "their orphans, they ran away "so?" "so? Why are they with you, why didn’t you bring them back" "they’re staying with me for now" "what?! Are you crazy Johnny? You’re a detective and Hell Cat, you can’t take care of two children" "and why not? I know I myself can never have children, I wasn’t planning too either, but just because I am what I am doesn’t mean I can’t have a family" she exclaimed "you the crime fighter Hell Cat, think! You can’t even date a normal guy in the fear he’ll be hurt, I’m a vampire remember, you’re Hell Cat" "then maybe I don’t want to be Hell Cat" "WHAT?" "if I had to choose between, Hell Cat and Kevin and Susan, I’d pick the kids" she said " they stay" she added "what Johnny have you lost your mind?" "no I found out what I want, now leave" she hissed at him "fine" Nick disappeared quicker then light.
01/13/99 Wednesday
There was no point in the argument with Nick, Johnny knew that, the kids stayed with her for only two days, she scheduled them a flight to Oregon, to their aunt. She should have told that to Nick, it’s just he made her so mad, she can have a family if she wants .....right? Johnny sat at her computer, it was day, her shift ended some time ago. No she would not apologize, he started it!
01/14/99 Thursday
She finished, the body dropped from her hands, she couldn’t believe she did that. "Perfecto, and I ain’t even gotta to show you" Dias easily found Charleen, she licked her lips "I guess" "ehh, why so glum?, come on" he said "come on" she said. They arrived back at the house. Dias was supposed to call Catzy but, hey the girl can hunt, what’s the point. He jumped on to the couch "nacho?" he offered. Charleen took it and put it in her mouth "it tastes funny. Wait a sec. Vampires have no sense of taste towards food" she said " you gotta remember the taste of all the food you ate during your life and you’ll get it" he said Charleen took another one "nacho taste better?" "no, but still nachos are nachos" she sat on the moody green couch. BANG !!!! a motorcycle crashed through the window and skidded across the big room. Both of Charley and Dias stared at it "OOOH NOOOO, NO, NO, NO NOT THE............." the motorcycle slammed in to a glass shelf against the wall "stereo system" Dias ended of his sentence. He hopped over the couch to the motorcycle and the driver getting up, Charley watched from the seat "NOW WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA WHO do you think you ARE TO DO THAT, YOU’VE MESSED WITH THE WRONG guy BUB" he exclaimed showing his fangs , the motorcyclist took of the helmet "calm down, I bet you didn’t even pay for that" "AYE CARAMBA ‘ELLAMINA’!" he exclaimed "buien te veo tu again?" Her extremely long wavy blond hair tumbled down over her shoulders as she stood up, she smiled "how’s it going? I heard you were in town and decided to....drop in....he, he" she looked around the place "same old style ehh? Last time it was the shores of...Peru, right? Of course back then no one knew of Peru, ehh?" she gave a laugh "buen te veo tu, Esta loco ‘Ella’" he smiled "Ellamina" "who’s she?" ‘Ella’ asked about Charleen "Charley" Charleen stood up "fledgling ehh? Where’d you get ‘er ?" " ‘Ella’! How in de world?" he was still quite surprised "that’s a story for another day, how ‘bout you?" she smiled, she was definitely a vampire, her fangs showed "Nachos ehh?" she ate one "wanna know a fact, your trick doesn’t do a thing for the taste, but it works" they both laughed "way te veo tu" he said. ‘Ella’ walked to her bike and pulled it up "AI-yi TU TRASHED MY STEREO!!" "I don’t wanna spoil your fun but I heard news ‘bout Max" she said "w-what news?" "he’s here after an N.S. and got some vial or something that may put us in danger as well, and since you contact with N.S’s I wouldn’t wanna see you get hurt" "aye may, vhat N.S.?" "I dunno, watch yourself though" she said "Dias, who’s N.S?" Charley asked "Dias? New llamo? since when?" ‘Ella’ asked "aye madre!! Esta loco ella Catzy calls me that, means something in some ancient language and for a while I just thought she call me Diaz" he joked "ha, ha, ha. Very funny..Dias.. Buenos notches, te veo pasado manana, Sabado notches eh? si buen." "Esta buenos notches ‘‘‘Ella’’’" Ella got back on her bike and drove straight through the other window and smashed the TV along with it "OOOOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOO ESTA YO CABLE AI-yi-yi".
01/15/99 Friday
"ella esta loco" the TV was busted since last night and so was the stereo "ain’t these people got any respect for technology" "where is she?" Catzy’s voice sounded odd "ehh?" Dias looked up, she stood in the broken window her hair in the wind "who?" "don’t play with me. La ruso ella si loca, Tu veo ella auyer notches. Yo veo." "Catz? Tu loca right about now" she was acting awfully odd "don’t play with me chucho" Catzy hissed, she jumped down to the marble colored floor her heels clicked. "I ain’t got a clue what you’re saying. Comprende?" Catzy slammed him against the wall "hey, what’d I do? Charley not here" "not Charley you moron. The blond bitch, comprende?" "Ella?" He asked, Catzy had a stake in her hand "don’t tell ‘er me llama!!" Ella yelled "s’scuse me could someone tell me wassup" "shut up" Catzy said "let’em go" Ella got her whip around Catzy’s hand and jerked her back on to the floor "come on loco" Ella grabbed his hand "we gotta split" she added and hopped on her bike parked in the room, she hit the gas just as Catzy jumped but the bike quickly zoomed out of there and Catzy landed on the floor "fuck, I gotta catch em" Catzy got up "shh my dear, Ella and her imbecile will come around." He had brown hair and brown eyes. Catzy looked at him and they kissed. It was morning Catzy awoke in her bed, the sun in her face. "Awww" she yawned "why in the world am I so exhausted, I didn’t do a thing last night" she rubbed her head and dropped back on to her soft fluffy pillow.

Ella lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, Dias sat on a couch chair with his feet up on the table "I hate the day, the wait" she said. It wasn’t Dias’s place, nor Ella’s that wouldn’t be safe "Catzy’s the N.S" Ella said. "Ugh" she gasped "I’m so stupid, I haven’t fed last night nor before" she added. It was a small dark apt. the first place they found, no clue as to who it belonged to, a few hours were left till sun set. The door had opened, Ella and Dias jumped up. They stood on the sides of the door way awaiting to see who it is. "I can’t believe we did that" "what? So we stole the old hag’s car, get over it" the two men talked "they ain’t sound like a nice pair" Dias said "and I’m really hungry" Ella added "dinner?" Ella smiled her fangs showed. The two men came in. Ella stared at the clock. The sun had just set. Ella and Dias had returned to his place " What about Charleen?" Ella asked "ella buenos, esta yo veo de Domingo" "buen" the place wasn’t touched at all since last night. "How’d you know bout Catz?" "I heard Max got a map of our ancient city in Peru. Remember? The city. He got the vile from there De La roca se Frediro, the only thing left standing, unlost but I got his map" she took it out "Peru" "I still ain’t know what had happened since then" "After our city collapsed Max was determined to get it back, he had found the map to it and the lost treasures he believes his and a vile of poison from De La roca se Frediro, since he is the one that made me I wouldn’t dare fight with him, I overheard his conversation when I met up on the cruise and managed to get the map, he knows not that I have it. He probably used the vile on Catzy" "si, Peru those were the days" "stupid mortals giving us sacrifices. Ahh the Incas civilization. Wondrous to be a vampire back then" Ella remembered. "Ai-yi-yi guess we gotta check back at Peru" Dias sight "yeah, it be better if we go hoy, Sabado notches. Ellos Domingo si?" "better not get the fledgling involved" Dias said "Esta loco" he added "si, back to our homeland I guess." Ella said "let take my car"

Before I begin my story, let me tell you Ella’s origin and how she became one of the vampires. Ella was born in 1411 in France, her family had been very poor and to gain money for her to be able to live a normal life at 18 she agreed on a cabin boy job on a ship to China, somewhere along the line a wrong turn was taken and the ship was engulfed in to a storm and carried to the shores of Peru, where the ancient Incas thrived, and to a tribe that worshipped Maxias the vampire as a god and his fledgling Dias. The Incas made blood sacrifices to the vampires believed to be gods, Maxias was a vampire god of ancient Mayan and when they died out had become god to the Incas, making Dias his fledgling, Ella’s ship and crew had been taken to sacrifice and killed for the vampires. But when she, with her beautiful blond curly hair and bright blue eyes was set for the sacrifice, Maxias had chosen to make her one of them. It was 1429 when she became a vampire and a goddess to the Incas. She lived there for 96 years, Dias her friend, Max her lover. This life had became hers she had known the language and forgotten her own French. After the Incas died out in 1525, Max had disappeared and Dias and Ella had moved to live in Mexico, where they spent 200 years. In 1725 Ella had moved up north and fit in with her past culture now in America, Dias as far as known stayed in Mexico for some longer time and haven’t seen Ella until 264 years later, now 1999.
Kelly sat on the steps leading to the top of the alley, her cigarette in hand "ivory" he knew she was there he sensed her for a half an hour now as she sensed him but now Al actually made his move "Al, heard you were looking for me" he glanced up at the black sky. Her green eyes sparkled, at some point they were brown but no longer was that true. "There is nothing left of you right?" he said in a calm voice the last thing he needed was to challenge her true strength of the moment. Kelly stood up "why don’t you just forget it ? it would make things much easier" she threw the cigarette out over the rail "I can’t" "remember what I showed you,..." she whispered and came closer "........ ....remember this?" she kissed him, his face was normal again, he felt it "oh yes you do" she kissed him again and gave that evil smile. "What is it Ivory?" "whatever I want" she glanced back at him and went in to armor, she gave him a look as if to follow and jumped down, he did. The candles were out but with a wave of her hand came on "where is this" he asked "lovely place don’t you agree? I thought so" it was, a sanctuary perhaps, but had candles and silk stuff around. "Why here" he asked "I see you know what I mean" "perhaps" Kelly had on a long black dress, sorta. She kissed him again "you know" she replied. Ivory placed her hand on the his armor and it obeyed her and moved back as her armor almost always was. She smiled again yet her eyes were totally green. Her dress fell off as she thought of it. (Nice way to get dressed ehh? Think of it and clothes go off, just be careful and don’t think of it at the wrong time. Ex: see hot guy at a party, wanna sleep with him, think the wrong thought POW the party guests stare.) We can guess what goes next ehh? (P.S it’s me Jeanie, aren’t I good at spoiling sexual scenes?)
Ella sat on the fire escape, the wind blew her hair. Dias had not showed up this night as he was supposed to and Ella didn’t even know weather to worry he was so unpredictable. " Ella, Yo estecarda rica, Member mui? Tu veo tu vampire god padre, rica" Max was quite unexpected "Max" she glanced to her side he sat on the fire escape beside her "Como esta yo loco padre? y god hoy ehh?" she spoke "si, my dear" "what do you want Max, leave me and chucho alone, porfavor" "buenos notches ehh Ella loca" "Where is he? Max" she stood up "come yo, tu veo chucho ayer notches" "si, but not hoy" "os? Does he matter, he was a mistake" "y yo?" "oh no not tu" he answered her, Ella couldn’t talk to him, she jumped down and landed softly on her feet, like a cat, "ohy chucho y tu rosetta car" she sight, she was going to get to Peru with chucho or alone and besides he has other friends to bail him out, she thought as she boarded the plane, I hope............
Kelly stared up to the ceiling. She reached with her left hand got a cigarette from her clothes near the bed and lit it. She knew Al was not asleep, without even bothering to turn her head. " you enjoyed that didn't you" she breathed in the green smoke and handed him the cigarette, he took it "yeah". "I thought you hated me" she spoke "I don't hate you Ivory" he said and laughed "I hadn't had a doubt" she said "I was never going to kill you" she added "I know" she turned to him and kissed him "this isn't so bad" she smiled, he put his hand around her "it's not" he was defiantly ashamed of this but there was nothing much to say, lying to her would do no good she'd know. "I enjoyed it too" she finally said and stood up, she put on her dress "ivory.... ...don't leave" he said, she let out a small laugh "oh but I’ll return, I promise" she kneeled down and kissed him, he in turn knocked her down and kissed her back, Ivory gave an evil smile and then put her hand on his chest to activate the armor, he fell back. Kelly got up "I’ll see you later" she said and left.

Johnny sat behind her lap top, it was getting dark. She noticed someone in the dark part of her room "is it Kelly?" she asked. Al stepped out his face normal "oh damn" Johnny put the computer away "she did it?" she asked, Al nodded. "You slept with her" Johnny could tell, she probably had the same look to her when she slept with Lestat. "Yeah". Johnny didn’t know what to say. "And he enjoyed it too" Kelly was near the window she smiled. Al didn’t protest, Johnny extended her nails "what? Al you can’t fall for that" she spoke "but he did, now let it go detective, let it go" she said, and came up to Al. Johnny looked down and by that time they were gone. "Oh fuck, why does it all pile up on me!"

01/19/99 Tuesday
It was late at night and Kelly walked down the dark street, she wore a leather jacket and a black mini-skirt with high boots. Meanwhile Catzy was returning home after a hunt, her sister Nyma was sick and Catzy had to see what was wrong with her, as Catzy proceeded through the streets she noticed Kelly, she was busy lately and hadn’t heard the news about Kelly as far as she knew, Kelly had no memory of Ivory and was back in collage "Kelly?" Catzy asked "mhh? Do I know you?" she asked "yeah, I’m an old friend" "oh, well I have no memory of that" "I’m Catzy, so how’s collage?" Catzy asked "...hum, OK" "you’re lying" "so, I dropped out 2 years ago" Kelly said "oh" Catzy remembered Nyma and mistakenly jumped over on a tree and down to rush up "wha..how’d you?" Kelly asked suspiciously "oh I’m...well...unusual" Catzy said "you’re unusual too you know" she added, Kelly realized that Catzy knew but played along "oh and how unusual am I?" she asked "well let’s say you have some special abilities" Catzy said "oh" Kelly said "what do you know about the armor of hell?" she added "oh so you remember" Catzy knew but she didn’t know how much exactly Kelly remembered "so what do you remember? How about a certain friend who made you this?" Catzy wanted more inf. "you mean Spawn, oh yes I remember Spawn" Kelly smiled "so you two still fighting?" "hum..no, our relationship is much better now" she laughed "how?" Catzy pushed but then remembered Nyma and had rushed off without a trace.
01/20/99 Wednesday
It had been weeks since her last contact with Jeff. Perhaps this all was in the good of it, Java had still had some incomes from the saving she had from Jeff’s organization. But what would she do, what can she be? Java had been in wondering Downtown NY, where it all began, she thought. There was no trace of Jeff or the organization they had indeed dropped her. But that was the least of her problems. Java heard shots, a pistol definitely and a sucky one too, extremely off track balance and heavy. Gangs usually carried those, she held her light weight 12 caliber titanium pistol under her jacket, she hadn’t had doubts to her. She glimpsed in to the shoot-out, 3 girls against 2 members of her old known and quite stupid enemy Red Venom gang, when she was in her old business she dealt with a lot of them. There had been no one shot yet, but surely the 2 guys were the one she would shoot. Java jumped in startling them all, she blasted one of them and ducked the bullet from the second, her gun was much more efficient, she nailed the second guy. She felt a cold feeling in her back and herd a shot, she was shot, she knew that feeling, Java sprung around, fuck I missed the third one, she thought and shot him as she went down. "Come on Kim" one of the girls said "oh fuck off Lisa, we can’t just leave her" "Kim’s right, the least thing we can do is drop her off at the hospital" "oh fine Jen but if we get nailed we blame you".
Kelly had had a streak of luck so far and she had a little idea, she used her armor for a poison and just for the hell of it decided to test it on one of the four sisters. Nyma being in the wrong place at the wrong time got the vile spilled on her with no clue as to what it was. Nyma had gotten sick as if with the flu as was reported to Catzy last night, but then her condition was getting worse rather then better. Meanwhile Holocaustus had returned to Earth 2 days ago, Barachi had gotten out of the marriage by ways not yet known. He had seen Ivory and Spawn and understood what happened, she never loved him, it was Al she wanted Al all along. But he didn’t dare yet make his move.
01/22/99 Friday
Java awoke in a hospital bed, she felt slight pain in her back but nothing much. There was a man standing in the room he had dark brown hair and brown eyes, dressed in a brown suit, he was not Jeff but looked like one of them. For a second Java felt happy they didn’t just through her out like trash but then she remembered what she was and that happiness faded. "Who are you?" she choked out, the antibiotics made her weak and her throat soar " hello Ms. McNiel, allow me to introduce myself, I am Derek H." He said "why? Is it Kale? Does he want me back?" she said "we do not work with nor for that organization, let me explain. Area 1 also known as sector 1 is a top priority section closely linked to the government, it has, working for it, 8 different, smaller but extremely high tech organizations (2-9). That is what we are, area 4 so to call it. Area’s 8 and 9, have formed another, even smaller corporation, corpor 1, that is what you worked for. But now we had discovered an error in corpor 1, it’s members had gone beyond the boundaries of their power, so we had to terminate them. You Ms.McNiel, were their prize agent and now we want you to work for us. Area 4." He explained, all this was quite a shock to her but she hid her feelings well "what if I don’t want to" she said "oh understand our conditions are much different from those of corpor 1, you will have off days and plenty of time for yourself, understand that you will not be our only agent, which would take allot of pressure off of you. Of course our missions are much longer and more advanced then just shoot and kill, in many cases you will have to play a role and use a fake name" he was interrupted "like a spy" Java said "..yes, pretty much, though there will be assassination jobs. Our weaponry and electronics are extremely more advanced as well" he finished "I have to think about it" she said "you have three days" he turned to leave but Java yelled out "what about the other agents of corpor 1? What of them?" she asked "some have been given jobs as you, some put in jail or just dropped,....but most terminated" he said and turned to leave once again "what about Jeff Runtor? What of him?" she asked "that information is under security of area 1, I simply don’t know" he said and left. Java sight, here it goes once again, she thought and dropped her head on the pillow.

Shannon had decided to call a truce with Annie, who had bought the apartment that belonged to Shane and Leslie and in which Shane still lived in her present state. At first of course Shannon was outraged, but Annie offered to be the sorta hacker sidekick and besides Ann remodeled the whole place and got in cable, electricity, gas and the net. Since Shane has no clue as of the net, she agreed with Ann. Ann has the room that was Shane’s and Shane has Leslie’s room, for now the circumstances work, besides Annie is hardly ever there the same time Shane is. But Annie had found something on the net about Shannon which defiantly didn’t belong, pictures, looks like Shane has a wanna be sci-fi fan reporter on her tail and the kid’s doing a good job with the photos. Question is, who is he?
It has been a week, more then she had, but this was Java’s chance, would she take it. She sat at home, it was late at night, she sat on the bed watching TV and eating some stuff she found in her fridge which included a cheese sandwich, she had two choices, one go work for area 4 and have the same thing as before, murder, danger, no way out, or she could become a simple person, change her name, hair color, the area wouldn’t give her to the cops if she said no and there would no longer be the work for us or die situation. But if she wasn’t a hired killer what was she? She never finished school, her money wouldn’t last, she can’t do anything but work a glock 17, cop was out of mind when she was a case herself. Go to her parents? Yeah, hi mom sorry I didn’t call for ten years but I ran away from home, killed a guy, became a hitwoman, got sentenced to death, then worked for a secret government organization which was now terminated...so, can I come home?
Valentine’s Day is on the way and you know what that means...well yes Jeanie’s gonna get lot ‘n’ lotta heart shaped chocolates and teddy bears..but other then my presents, this is the month of love...for some..and suffering for others. Did you people notice how depressed and upset Catzy is? HA HA I know why. I also know another thing just don’t tell my sis Emma...K? Well about a month ago, Catz slept with Ian Nottingham, she didn’t tell anyone cause..it’s her business and I didn’t tell cause I felt bad for Emmy, Ian’s her love you know......well that and I forgot. So she thinks one thing and I know that’s totally false cause the other day I was going through some records and know something bout Ian that can’t possibly state what Catz knows so the only rational explanation is that Ian has nothing to do with all this conversation. And the only explanation that possibly exists is that Catz mystery. And all of that equals to one solution that Ian HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! So if not Ian who Emmy adores the only one left, unless of course there was more then one solution, but then I’d know cause I observe and I’d observe it and there were only two and last month she knew it wasn’t it cause you know and now she doesn’t know but knows it is you know so since with second it was so close to you know she suspected Ian was it but I know like I said above. So now she thinks Ian is it when it’s really the other. HA HA HA and he doesn’t know either so ehh. Get it? That’s why I AM the information source and you’re not. Oh and don’t mind the Abbey Chase picture above, kinda cute, though it was a mistake, some bozo fooled with the computer and glued it here.

Hey well..sorry for not adding more stories to the news section in quiet some time..but we do have lives and other things to consider. On to the main story as of the moment...Java McNiel had found out she is pregnant with Jeff’s child three months now, of course with Area 4 there is no longer the your child or your life situation she would’ve faced before, or is there? Java had decided to keep this her little secrete, at least until she figures what to do with it. After all..the father was killed by Area 4. But surely enough it is not as easy to keep secretes from a high top government organization as it is from a rebel corporation. Karen Wilder, the manager of her assignments group, and surely enough most every high top person there knew...and finally told her of WHAT they knew, giving her a choice....(a) she give up the child and go on with her regular assignment or ...(b) she can bear her son or daughter and have them be a part of a very important assignment, that involves a lot of work and years.. she will have a family and child and husband but he won’t be real to her, though of course he will not know of what is going on. That was the basic summarize of her assignment if she agrees.. of course details will be filled in depending on her answer. Question is what will she decide?
OK here next I shall write down all the clans and who’s part of them from WWoD role-playing.

Kelly loved it from the moment she saw it, it was beautiful, the blue letters of the club wrote in script "Blue Ivy" and there stood a line of people waiting to get in, Al stood behind her, his eyes slipped up to what she was staring at as she softly mumbled "....I have to have that night club" .It was only a few hours ago that they arrived in Salt Lake city and the night was marvelous. Kelly wore a peach laced slip dress and heels, as if she was dressed especially to enter that club, and Al wore a teal armani suit. She send him away to the hotel suite she had arranged for early and walked up to the bouncers cutting the line "ma’am sorry but you have to go to the end of the line" one of them spoke while the other checked a kid’s ID "I want to speak with the owner and I won’t take no for an answer" her eyes flashed green hypnotizing the bouncer little trick she learned to master. A kid bumped into her by mistake and she pushed him down nearly bashing open his scull on the pavement and leaving him stunned "I’m talking here so scram" she flashed a warning look to the kid and turned back to the bouncer "sure ma’am but Mr. Vincent DuBour hasn’t arrived yet" he spoke "fine at least let me in" just as she finished her sentence a black limo pulled up in front of the club and a man in his early thirties stepped out, he was extremely handsome, with dirty blond hair pulled back except for a few long strands his eyes being piercing ice blue eyes, he wore a crimson brown armani suit. He stood for a moment in front of the limo and then walked toward the club in a slow pace, he seemed kind and yet very elegant. Kelly looked to the bouncer "that’s Mr. DuBour right?" she had a slight smile "yes ma’am" "perfect" she turned and walked over to Vinnie wrapping her arms around him without but a word and kissing him passionately "wow" he looked to her when she finally pulled back "I’d like to purchase your club" she spoke in a seductive voice "one minute hun" he said almost out of breath and walked over to a bouncer telling him something, he then walked back to her "what exactly do you want..?" he looks at her obviously finding her attractive "the club and I’ll get it right Vinnie?" she steps closer to him "its... not .. for sale" he spoke and moved back to his limo but just as he got in she was beside him "I’m sure we can work something out" her eyes glimmer but her control doesn’t work on him "n..no I’m sorry" Kelly shuts the door "I’m Ivory by the way..and I’ll get that club one way or another baby" kisses him again using all her power of seduction "you want me and I know it and that makes you weak" she runs her hand down his chest but he doesn’t answer not knowing what to answer "you’ll definitely sell me the club after this" a sly smile on her face as she slips off the dress "am I right? ......Of course I am". It was six in the morning, last she recalled was him telling the limo driver to take them to his garage..and that was three hours ago. The limo had everything Champaign, pillows, even silk sheets, lovely she thought as she held up the deed to the club in her hand and slipped on her dress, she didn’t bother looking back at Vinnie as she climbed out of the limo and bumped right into a blond girl in a catholic school skirt with glasses and her hair pinned back "who are you that’s Mr. DuBour limo you should.........oh" she realizes what happened "kid, if he meant something special to you..tough luck"
Java stared into the Wendie’s bathroom mirror, she was dressed in a black business suit and trench coat, she fixed her black rimmed glasses slightly "operation on-line, section check on" she waited for a reply, a thin girl with peach red hair sat with earphones and a microphone around head and stared at a screen that was from a camera in Java’s glasses, she spoke "we hear you..operation on-line in two minutes" she spoke "backup check..section 4?" she asked and a man outside, Derek, who stood near a pole as if awaiting a ride and reading a newspaper glanced at the restaurant "working" "sector 3?" she asked and a lady inside Wendie’s with short black hair dressed as a cashier answered "working" the restaurant was empty except for a couple in a corner eating their breakfast at this seven in the morning, they won a free breakfast, the real restaurant isn’t supposed to open for another few hours. "Section 2?" the lady at the Area base spoke and Java knew it was her time to answer she took a deep sigh and said "working", Java waited a minute but then she heard "section 2 you’re a minute behind make your move" Angie said, she was the computer hacker and made plans and recorded all the missions from base, she was also the one to send for back up and report to Marlanna, the head of Area 4, her only boss was higher then this sector, Angie never really enjoyed being called over to her. Marlanna seemed cold and usually she put agents on suspense or worse. Sometimes Angie felt this was way too much for a sixteen year old genius, Java was her friend and helped her out whenever the chance and Angie sometimes covered Java’s tracks, and Derek the head of weaponry and agent like Java was nice to her too as well as a few other people at weaponry she chit-chatted with. That was because Angie was on the computers and never on missions and most weaponry employees had the same thing, Derek being the only one to be on missions, besides their sector of the Area was right beside hers. But this wasn’t the time she could let her mind wander, as she snapped back to the screen Java had already walked out and headed to the door as she noticed Rita sitting at the corner with Roger, she put on a friendly smile and waved "Rita..hey fancy meeting you here" she called, the girl with light brown curly hair pulled up and light blue eyes looked up and her lips curled into a smile "oh my Lana, ..hi" she had a very pretty voice and seemed very happy to see Java, she stood half way up to greet her, Java walked over "how’s it going and who’s this?" she asked looking to Roger who wasn’t facing her, "that’s my husband Roger...(to Roger).. that’s Lana, I met her at the photo exhibition a few days ago, she loves photography just as me" she said happily but Roger just mumbled "yeah..yeah ..you not going to any more of those crappie exhibitions of yours Rita...member what said" he said it low but hear able, Java raised an eyebrow and then looked to Rita "uhm..right" she had a sad look to her. Java pulled up a chair and sat down, "why not? She likes photography she can go..i got tickets" she looked to Rita waving them in the air, Rita looked to them and back to Roger "please, I really want to go" she begged " I said no..you not going anywhere alone and I don’t go to crappie exhibitions" "but Rog" "no buts" he raised his hand to slap her but in one swift movement Java grabbed him and pulled him up smashing him into a wall in the back, so they can hardly be seen by the people passing by in cars and glancing inside the Wendie’s store windows, Rita gasped. "get off me bitch" the moment he said that Java had a gun to his chest, it was blocked by her body from Rita and anyone else, "not smart..(she leaned in and whispered)..I need to ask you some questions, very important questions...and you better answer or POW" she spoke but Roger interrupted "go ahead shoot me and the cops will be on your tail like glue, you’d never get outta here alive" he spoke with confidence "listen and don’t talk, I work for a top secret organization of Area 4, now we can make anyone disappear as if they never existed, I have units on standby...see out that window across from you, the guy out side (doesn’t take her eyes off Roger) ..his name is Bob, wave hi... and that lady behind the counter works for us too, so I say you should think over saying that, I doubt Rita would mind a jerk off like you gone, especially if we make her win the lottery tomorrow" as she spoke he looked over the people who gave him a quick glance and seemed terrified now "ok..ok..wadda ya want to know?" he asked "years ago you worked selling drugs to kids..what was the name of you boss?" she asked "Phillip..ok it was Philip now let me go" "not yet bud, where does Philip hang out?" "I dunno..i swear.." "you’re lying" "no I swear..uhm..ok..ok his daughter Melissa Belle goes to some Catholic school named after some saint in Brooklyn..buts that’s all I know" "good" Java took her eyes off him finally and looked to Derek who was crossing the street coming toward here, he gave her a nod, she then looked to the lady with short hair and she nodded too, Java looked back to Roger and pulled the trigger, his blood splashing over her as he fell, Rita screamed like hell, Java turned around as Derek stepped in, he handed her a bag "go wash up, the crew will soon be here and we have to get this mess cleaned up before ten" he spoke "what about Rita?" she glanced to Rita hiding under the table like a scared puppy "Area 4 will take care of it, change and return to the base" he answered, Java grabbed the bag and went into the bathroom. When she walked out she wore a pair of jeans and a flannel shirt, she glanced around, operations were all over the place collecting cameras and any other trinkets they set up, Roger’s body was gone, Derek was taking on a cell phone, probably to Marlanna. She glanced tot the booth were they sat and saw more blood, she didn’t bother to ask or think she just walked out got on her bike and returned to the base.
03/24/99 Wednesday
Catzy antibodies are much stronger due to the odd mix of highlander, vampiric blood and her child is expected to grow at half the rate a normal baby would making it five months rather then nine...this is the month and Catzy knows it....having the baby was out of the question since it was too big already, besides that Catzy never even went to the doctor, she was going to give birth to her baby on her own. Ian was no where to be found as usual and besides no matter how hard Catzy tried to convince herself it was Ian, she knows its not and that she is carrying Luke’s child, her instincts told her just as they told her the child is a girl. Now that she is about to be born Catzy would never give her up, her daughter would become strong powerful and good, as long as Catzy shall teach her, she will not be like her father, and he will not know. When she thought it was Ian early on, she was going to tell but with Luke, she can never let him know until her daughter is grown up and strong and knows what her father really is. That’s what Catzy thought, knew. But of course Luke isn’t an idiot, the moment he heard Catzy was pregnant, he knew it was his, and the moment Catzy learned its a girl so did he, and he had a different name for her, different life, different predictions and nothing is going to stop him. All that’s left now is time, lots and lots of time. And what about Shannon you ask...he left her be, for two reasons, there are bigger fish in the sea and the fact that she cares not if she dies now, she wants to die, all the idea’s in her head are shifted and frankly he knows if he attacked her she would not defend herself and what’s fun in that? His daughter was his concern now that’s what he was planning for these past few months.
Now this isn’t a news story its more of a historic fact, that I learned only a few days ago and thought to share it with you. Lukas is actually half Japanese samurai, and the other half Italian, that’s the part he resembles. He was actually born in the late 1100’s. His mother being Japanese and his father Italian, he was named Lukas by his father. Although he is proud of his Japanese history, no one knew of any of his past, until now. He grew up in Japan, Heian, the imperial capital at the time, with his mother and had become a samurai, he was perfectly mortal, though he always had his streak to be the best and challenging and killing everyone higher than him. Exactly what made him the power hunter, isn’t known...but it will be!

Java walked into Marlanna’s office, It looked more of a lab of Area 4 rather then an office, with a marble floor and white empty walls. Marlanna sat in her black leather chair and faced Java, her red straight hair back into a bun and she wore a wool black woman’s business suit. "Hello Jayveen" she said "you called to see me?" "yes, its about your new assignment, take a seat" she spoke and Java walked over and sat in a leather chair opposite Marlanna’s desk, she had her hair up with a few tassels on the sides, and wore a black skirt to her knees, a red brown blouse, black heels and a blazer to match the skirt. "Mmh...Java have you though over your little matter?" she asked and Java’s heart skipped a beat "uhm..i’m not ready to decide, I thought I was here to discuss an assignment?" "you are..i just want an answer as soon as possible" Marlanna said and Java nodded in agreement "Roger told of Phillips daughter when you interrogated him, and we found her, her name Teresa Gerevald, she is ten and in fifth grade in St. Patrick’s Catholic school, small school in the suburbs. You shall be her new English teacher Christine Claudit, since her old teacher was in an unfortunate car accident and won’t be in for a few weeks." She paused and Java thought that ‘accident’ wasn’t really and accident "you will teach fifth grade English literature and writing, you will only teach her class, your assignment to befriend the girl, matters not if you do it by giving her straight A’s, by doing so you will have access to her family giving us access to Philip...understand?" she finished "yes" Java said and stood up as she walked out Marlanna called "get ready for your first day tomorrow Ms. Claudit".

Lukas approached the sanctuary on his bike, he hopped off and went inside, it was a beautifully decorated temple type hideout, with silk blankets, a marble floor, Asian carpets decorating walls and parts of the floor and scented candles and torches lighting the place. All this gave it a cozy look. Towards the back of the room a woman sat on a pile of silk sheets and pillows, sharpening her sword, dressed in a black silk catsuit. Her extremely long white blond hair in a braid twirled around her, the moment she heard footsteps approaching she looked up her violet eyes shimmering, she jumped up and whirled the sword in a highlander type matter "Lukas" she spoke "hush Akira, I am not here to challenge you again..besides I won the first time, and would’ve killed you but..you and I are so alike" he said and continued to move to her, Akira lowered her sword and sat back down slightly rolling her eyes, knowing that she LET him win. "Then why are you here Lukas?" Akira asked, the catsuit she wore had no sleeves so a small dragon tattoo showed on her arm and some Japanese word written under it. "Nice place you got over the years, and I see you grew your hair" he gave her a smile "I’m an immortal Lukas, I have lots of time" "yes .... I need a favor" he sat down next to her and took his trench coat off showing that he had the same tattoo but with slight different symbols "we are not samurai’s no longer Lukas I do not owe you anything and I have no code that says I must help you" "true, but I’m asking you...when did I ever ask anyone anything?" he said sincerely and she though a moment. Akira was born a hundred years after Lukas but belonged to the same clan as him, she wasn’t totally Japanese either, she was half British on her mother’s side and was raised by her father. When she was killed in a battle she discovered she was an immortal, and a very strong one with the same urge for power Lukas had, has. Centuries later when he challenged her he won although she likes to believe she let him win cause she thinks he’s cute, he spared her life mostly because of the similarities between then although he says its because of the samurai clan making them like family. "What do you want? I’ll think it over" "well Akira..i have a daughter" he said and that caught Akira’s interest "mmh?" "yes, although the mother is a bitch, the child is still mine and I want her" "and I come in where?" "I had an intention to let Catzy the bitch raise her daughter till a proper age and then take her for my heir so to speak...but that just won’t work, Catzy will teach my daughter that I am some sick murderer and she will never willingly come with me and besides what kind of a father will I be if I’m not there for ten years of my child’s life?" he paused Akira listening carefully "and if I take her as a baby how can I possibly care for a child..a daughter needs a female figure in her life and..." Akira got the point and looked to Luke "you want me to be that figure" "exactly" he said and Akira nearly burst out laughing "why in the world would I care for you daughter?" "because you can never have one...you’re all alone here, except for the bastards who come to challenge you to take your head, you’ve been everywhere in the world and done everything, except...have a child" he said and Akira thought "all right Lukas I’ll watch you child on one condition" "which is?" "she will be my child too...I won’t be some nanny, I’ll be her mother, maybe not her real mother but just the same" "deal Akira" Luke smiled and stool up "I’ll bring her here as soon as I can" and with that he walked out and Akira took a deep breath and smiled to herself liking the though of having a child in this empty place but that means her panther would have to be tied outside...oh well she thought, this is a good idea, I like this idea, maybe I did let Luke win for a purpose. Yes.
Ella had traced some of Catzy tricks as she learned that at the time Catzy allegedly attacked chucho, she was facing the problem of her sister’s illness and her trouble with someone who called himself the power hunter. The one who attacked chucho was not Catzy the vampire huntress and it wasn’t Nyma her twin who was sick at the time.... which leaves it to be one of the other two , Josephine or Lilandra. Ella sped back to Dias’s place on her bike, it had been bout two months and neither of them were troubled by Max nor the mystery girl. Just to be sure, Ella stayed away from chucho and Charleen not to cause them trouble, but Dias as he told her in a letter she received after sending him a postcard from Virginia "de damn place ain’t de same witout ya loca ella, sure de yo cable y streao are intact but we miss ya" . She arived at the factory type mansion, his pink cadalac with stickers stood out front, Ella didn’t bother to park she just burst through the door on her bike. " Ella!!! Bein veo tu.........NOOOOO!" she heard him yell as she smashed the new stereo and hopped of the bike "loco! How are you?" she went over and tossed her helmet down " ocho-ocho, tu loca y tu smashed yo stuff!" he exclaimed, but then hugged her friendly anyway, Ella smiled and hugged back she then glanced around, some taco bell leftovers on the table in front of the couch "where de girl?" "ella say she be back uno" "y tu ella’s padre ehh loco...chucho..dias ...Joseph...beuno llamos ehh?" "hehe" he chuckled, Ella hopped over to the couch and stuffed a nacho in her mouth "I gotta talk to ya bout the N.S." she said, Dias hopped beside her "ehh?.. I listening"..he said and she explained how it can’t be Catzy and all that she knew.
Wanted to play it safe
was afraid to fly
packed his suitcase
and kissed his kids good-bye
he waited his whole damn life
to take that flight
and as the plane went down
he though ‘well isn’t this nice’

Do not ask what was supposed to be about..some poem or crap???? Now onto Sunday stories.
Java watched the office door, Marlanna’s door. She rested against the table in the weaponry section and watched and waited when the door across the corridor would open, she turned to Jonathan "do you know why Marlanna wanted to talk to Angie?" she turned her view away from the door to look at Jonathan who leaned against the table and watched the door, he was a man in his late forties and wore army pants and a dark green tank top, he was really nice although he had a tough look to him and Angie was friends with him as Java was. The door finally opened and Angie stepped out, she didn’t have that sad little girl look she had when she would be suspended or anything else that bad. Java moved up to Angie "what happened" Angie gave her a sincere smile "nothing..i’m being transferred to sector 1 for a few weeks..uhm..well, you’ll get more details about it...I gotta go set up" that left Java a bit confused.

Catzy had tricked everyone, it had turned out that she actually gave birth to four girls rather then one, them being Paradise which is the one who inherited mostly Highlander Immortal traits and has black hair and emerald green eyes. Katrina, who is the one who inherited mostly kindred traits and has dark brown hair and blue eyes. Valaska, the child who took on her mothers powers, each and everyone of them and looks exactly like Catzy with fluffy reddish brown hair and violet eyes. And finally, the smallest and mystery girl whom Catzy named Lana, who has pitch black hair and icy blue eyes, her powers are unknown that is if she has any. Another deception was that she actually gave birth to them two weeks ago on March 16 and was fooling everyone, she fled with them and Gitta, who’s help she needed, to her home in Scotland. Of course this did put Luke behind, since that in two weeks the girls went into their toddler stage, the first month they grow very rapidly till they seem to be about six, after then the growth slows down till it stops at about the age of seventeen through twenty and they become fully immortal. But as the saying goes about Luke ‘if you think you’re tricking him, chances are he’s tricking you’ and that’s exactly what happened. Luke had set up a tracer on Gitta long before and easily found them. When Catzy ran out to the store, he knocked Gitta out and took his daughter Lana..whom he renamed Bejanca, she was his daughter and the true power huntress, that he knew, the others were worthless clones of Catzy, whom inherited little even none of him. He had taken a plane back. When Catzy came in she was mad as hell, but glad that he didn’t harm the other children.
Took place three days ago on Saturday-----> Lukas walked in, his daughter in his arms, dressed in black pants and a fuzzy pink sweater looking like an adorable three year old but with her hair all messed up, she clung to him. Akira jumped up as he startled her, and whirled around "Lukas so what......is that her?" Akira saw the child "yes, her name is Bejanca" he smiled to Akira "wha..what about Catzy?" "didn’t stick around to see the bitch" he put the girl on the pyramid of silk pillows and sheets, she looked from Luke to Akira "are you going to stay around..you are her father" Akira said "I’ll drop by later, there’s some business I have to do" "who?" "you don’t know him, just watch Bejanca" he grinned and turned to look at his daughter, he smiled to her "Bejanca this is your real mother..nomatter what anyone says." He turned around, gone faster then she could say another word, Akira kneeled down and picked up Bejanca, "hiya sweety.." she smiled sincerely and sat down the child in her arms, she took a gold brush and carefully brushed out the girls waist long hair "this is going be nice Bejanca, it really is, you’re going to be the strongest like your father."
"yo quiero nacho!" he wined from the couch "oso? Oso? Go get it yourself loco Joseph!" Ella cleaned her bike "veo sometin funny..tu ella loca clean la automobile, y hay me stereo is STILL trashed!" he calls to her and she shrugs continuing with what she was doing. Charleen sat on an old rocking chair "would you stop it with the Spanish! I dunno Spanish! All I know is how to say hi welcome to America" she declared, both Dias and Ella turned her way "let hear it!" Dias said curious to what she’ll say, "Cuantos colores hay en la bandera americana" the moment she said that both Dias and Ella burst out laughing "loco chucho..hehe...that’s not what ..not what you said" Ella said coughing slightly since she’s laughing too much, Charleen switched her gaze to Dias who was laughing to hard to say a thing so she turned back to Ella "so then what did I say?" "hehe..you asked how many colors are there..in...an American flag!" burst out laughing and Dias laughed harder "ok..ok I give up....I know NO Spanish at all" she rested back against the chair "uhms..so no wonder the people looked at me funny when I said that!"

A girl with blond red hair and pretty green gray eyes stood in what looked like a garage of a factory, a motorcycle stood packed with a kid kneeling besides it, she looked to him and through a crack in the big double doors. She wore cargoes and a tank top which had a punk girl with a gun on it. She knocked her hair behind her shoulder and looked to the kid again "hurry up!" "I got it!" the kid declared, he seemed about sixteen with shoulder length messy blond hair and aqua blue eyes. He was dressed in beige jincos and a south park T-shirt over that a beige messed up jacket, he had a lap top with wires connected to the motorcycle, he pulled them off and shut the lap top "way ta go!" the girl ran over and hopped on the bike, signaling for him to get on and he did, she seemed about two years older. She gripped the handled and started the bike, they broke through the doors and sped through some guard who shot but missed by a mili-second.
Johnny sat on her inside window ledge that was made like a small couch with pillows and a flower blanket, paperwork surrounded her, that arrow case was dropped after months of work turned out nothing..another unsolved mystery, she thought. She was put on suspension when her trying to help Al took up much of her work time and also resulted to nothing. The paperwork was about her old cases, the chief said he needed it for something and she had to get it done by the end of her suspension in about a week. Johnny sipped at her cup of coffee and glanced out the window, she looked back to her papers and then glanced back as something caught her eye. She saw a figure not about half block away, it looked very familiar. It was not Nick, she knew that certainly, she and Nick had a sort of rocky relationship since the fight, more or less neither had seen each other since then. Johnny jumped up and put her cup on a table, leaving the paperwork where it was, she threw on a coat and rushed down. As she stepped out she looked around to see nothing, just darkness. She muttered "damn" and turned to go back in but bummed right into Lestat "Lestat!.." she gasped and looked at him as if to make sure she wasn’t day dreaming out of boredom. Then she just wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
"Mama?" Bejanca stood on her knees on a red wood silk chair her hands pressed against the window as she looked out into the night, her black hair braided into many small braids and she was dressed in a white lily silk pajamas. Akira sat on her satin bed in a red komodo dress, sharpening her nails with a golden dagger. "Yeah hon." she looked up to her child, who is only two and a half weeks but looks three and a half years. "Tera man wit nife likes yous come ere" Bejanca spoke "mmh? Is that daddy?" she asked but at that moment sensed that it was not, that it was one of her kind, she jumped up and picked up Bejanca "darling, mommy has to go out, very important, come to bed and I’ll get you’re doll and I’ll be back as soon as I can." She carried her to the satin bed in the one room house that looked more like some cozy ancient temple with red, orange, yellow..and other positive colors and candles and torches. She tucked her into the silk pillows and places a cabatch patch doll with blond curley hair, next to her. Bejanca took the doll and smiled to Akira, Akira kissed the top of her head and then walked to the door grabbing her sword on the way. A guy with long red hair and light eyes stood there, his sword in his hand "the famous Akira ehh?" he smirked "lets just get it over with" she raised her sword "as you wish" he moved toward her, she ducked sideways and sliced his arm in the process, He then gasped and swung the sword but missed her by an inch, she stepped closer to attack but he tripped her and she fell down she was about to slice his leg but then she noticed Bejanca watching from the doorway. He swung the sword at Akira and she was distracted to protect herself, a second before it hit, he was knocked sideways, Luke jumped over Akira who was on the ground, and landed crouched beside the guy, in one very quick motion he knocked the sword from the guy’s hand with his right foot and kicked it up into the air with his left, he then hopped up to a standing position, grabbed the sword in mid air and sliced the guys head off. The usual lightning filled the air, but since Akira was the highlander she had received the power of the one who’s head Luke cut off. Luke helped Akira up and then walked to his daughter, who was watching "daddy!" she ran over and jumped into his arms "Bejanca my child...my only child" he kissed her head "yous won rite?" she smiled "yes, I can teach you to do that too, I will, just as soon as you’re a little bit older." He smiled, Akira came up behind him, she shook her head slightly to get the dizzy feeling out. "Luke I don’t think it was good she saw that" "sure it is...she will do that one of these days. You know how little kids think their father is the strongest man in the world.. she actually is right..." smirks to Akira, Akira grins and takes Bejanca from his arms, Bejanca hugs her mother "mamas..i’s am goinna be stong rite?" she looks to Akira her eyes shimmering ice blue such as Luke’s "yes" she smiles and carriers the girl back inside.
04/01/99 Thursday
It was raining out, Akira woke up to find Bejanca not next to her "Bejanca.. baby?" she rubbed her eyes and took a look around, she jumped out of bed, her hair neat since she had it in a tight braid. She looked around but couldn’t find her anywhere. "Oh damn it..Catzy must’ve somehow.." she mumbled but then noticed Luke outside, and Bejanca was with him, Akira took a deep breath and grabbed an umbrella as she went outside. "Mommy!" Bejanca turned around, a dragon mini-sword in her hand, Lukas looked to Akira, he was soaking wet but seemingly didn’t mind it "I thought I should at least start her to use the sword" he looked to Bejanca, she herself was quite wet as well, she raised the sword a bit "looks wat I cans do mommy!!!" she whirled the sword in her hand without dropping it "the girl’s a natural..... just like me" Luke smiled "how long have you had her out here?" "just an hour" he answered, Bejanca gave the sword back to her father, he took it and gave her a smile "tat was easy cans we try do someting else tommoro? Please?" she said, to her it wasn’t training, rather a game in the rain "well ok... but we gotta go in now...Lukas, Bejanca has to come in and dry up and eat.... and you’re soaked as well" "I don’t mind" he hid the dragon sword under his trench coat. Bejanca ran over to Akira, and Akira lead her inside and motioned for Luke to come as well. "You at least have to dry up..come on Lukas" she smiled.

Ever since Joanna Santor had been transferred to the FBI she hadn’t really found it as she expected. Half her detective cases gave her more entertainment, especially when Hell Cat gave them a little zap. But in other words, as a detective she was a veteran, the best. Everyone looked up to her, of all the cases she solved and how she always managed things on her own. But in the FBI she is now a simple rookie and her partner Dana Scully hates her and acts like a total bitch just because Dana is a veteran FBI and Joanna’s a rookie assigned to her. Like it was Joanna’s fault to that. Dana also keeps comparing Joanna to her old partner Fox Mulder, who had died not to long ago. Joanna’s beginning to think it was better to stick to what she knows, besides with Dana always on her back there’s no way Hell Cat’s going to help. But then just when she was about to give up she was put on a top mission and without Dana, which is a rejoice altogether. She will still be working with Dana on their original cases but what she saw as her top case totally stunned her.
Joanna walked into the office, she wasn’t alone, other agents were there too but Dana was not one of them. Joanna took a seat at a leather covered chair as she was told. The boss walked over to her he told her that he knew she was a rookie ad a case this big isn’t aloud to have rookies working on it but since she specified at these things in her old career she was needed. Joanna nodded in reply. He walked over to the big screen and inserted a disk. An image came up on screen, it looked like from a bank. There were four or five terrorists with guns holding people hostage. The people were clenched together on the floor and looked terrified except for one girl, she looked to be fifteen, dressed in all black and a black trench coat, with blond shoulder length hair and raybans over her eyes. She stood up and the terrorist pointed a gun to her and told her to get down but she just stood there. All of a sudden she just leapt up into the air and knocked the gun right out of his hand and then twirled around still in the air and knocked the guy with her other foot snapping his neck. As she landed the others shot at her but she seemed to duck almost all the bullets. Someone from behind her fired at her and she jumped up over the bullet and did a back flip to him and snapped his neck as well. Joanna watched this amazed, even Hell Cat can’t duck bullets. The disk tape ended before showing what happened to the other two guys. "What you see here is Serenity Sarina. Now Serenity isn’t a regular girl. Here you saw her five years ago at fifteen. She is now able to do much more then this. But she is part human and in simpler terms she hated the place and the work. Our so called secret weapon ran away. Now we cannot keep her against her will as you see she is extremely strong, but we can’t let her just roam around either. There’s only one other alternative and that is to terminate her." He finished speaking and then Joanna interrupted "what is she?" she asked curiously "she was considered our secret weapon, our scientists were planning to design cyborgs so to speak or A.I. but all attempts failed except one. They were able to make the twenty four human chromosomes usually found in a man’s sperm and heighten them with special electrons found in the cells of A.I, originally planned to create a similar egg, but that attempt failed so a human egg was used. She is the result. Half cyborg half human." He explained and then dismissed everyone. Joanna walked out and though.. hell skip the FBI and go straight to the secret agents, what next? Spy maybe.. hehe ...this is all like some movie with lots of special effects, but then again my whole life is like some movie.
Catzy sat on the bench in the park. Her girls had wondered around playing. They were about four and a half now and Valaska learned to use her claws. They are very talented Catzy thought, but they still gave her a head ache now and then, they were small kids and she was alone to raise them. Paradise sat on the floor and played with her doll, she wore a pretty light blue summer dress. Katrina ran around in her sneakers, jeans and T-shirt. Katrina grabbed Paradise’s doll and ran around around in a circle "can’t catch me!" she called, Paradise narrowed her eyes and then looked to Catzy "mommy!!! She took my dolly!!!!" she screamed. Catzy sighed "Kat! Give your sister her doll back!" she called "but mommy... she always play with it, I wanna play wit it too!" "Katrina! You have your own toys" Catzy said and Katrina threw her back the doll.
04/10/99 Saturday
Catzy had fallen asleep on the couch while watching the girls, and Katrina was asleep on the couch as well, too exhausted from running around too much. They didn’t destroy things like they did when they were babies and couldn’t control their abilities at all. Valaska is the smart one, and taking it upon herself to act older then her age, she is also the one who has a big head and thinks herself to be the favorite. Katrina is the tom boy, she never wears dresses or skirts and always seems to be having too much sugar since she’s always hyper. Paradise is the shy one and probably the one no one knows what she’s thinking. She always seems out of place with the other sisters and today Catzy actually found out by how much. All of a sudden Catzy was awaken by an extremely loud scream of Katrina’s. "Uhh?" she jumped up and looked at her daughter still partly in a dream state. "MOMMYYYY!!! PARADISE CUT OFF MY BRAID!!!!!" she yelled, her hair to her ears now when it was to her waist and her braid on the floor. Catzy widened her eyes and gasped as she looked over the house, there was paint on the coffee table , all the chairs were stacked into a pile with the lamp on top and Catzy’s favorite sweater over it and in paint as well. The curtains were tied together and pulled up with Catzy’s whip to make a swing or something of the sort. There was mud all over the house and a bowl of chocolate syrup tipped over on the carpet. Valaska was sleeping over a friends house so this wasn’t her doing. Catzy watches in astonishment. A part of a wet bathroom curtain dragged in from the kitchen and from the kitchen leaked water. Katrina was still yelling over her hair. The phone was off the hook and beeping and she heard Paradise giggling from the kitchen, all of a sudden she slid in on the curtain like a slide giggling, her dress all in chocolate or/and mud. "PARADISE!" Catzy snapped. Katrina shut up immediately and Paradise looked to her mother and bit her bottom lip. "Why in the world did you do all this!?!?" she stood up and looked over the mess again "It was Fred’s idea, he said it’d be fun" she said softly. "Fred?" Catzy looked at the girl and raised an eyebrow. "He’s my friend" she answered "oh and did he cut off my hair too!!??" Katrina snapped and Paradise giggled she looked to the side and whispered something and then giggled again. Catzy took a deep breath "oh god no" she mumbled and fell back down on the couch. "Mommy can I go to play with Fred
outside?"
04/26/99 Monday
She held her breath and her heart beat quickly, it wasn’t supposed to be like this. The gun was pointed at her and the gunman said some words she could hardly hear, she felt as if she was deaf and yet despite that her mouth opened and she boldly said "yes" that’s when the gun went of, Cassia shut her aqua blue eyes knowing this was it, she was knocked to the floor, her blond hair over her face. She was sure she was shot and dyeing, and certainly the gunman thought so too, he shot her at point blank range, and now he was walking away, no more screams of people around her, since they were on the floor same as she, it was silence. She then felt her heart speed up from fear and realized she felt no pain. She opened her eyes and glanced around, seeing something red flame around her for a moment, she wondered if she was hurt badly. Finally a few seconds later she sat up and quickly examined her body, no blood. How could he have missed her? She climbed to her feet, the gunman were away from the room, gone for minutes now, that’s when she glanced to the window and saw what looked like a man, with a red cape, a very long one with some incredible material. She stared at him for a long moment, his back to her so he didn’t see her. She realized he must’ve somehow saved her. As he was about to jump and flee, she took up her courage and spoke in a bold voice, "you saved me didn’t you.... who..who are you?", she spoke loud enough for him to hear, he turned his head to face her, his bright green eyes the only thing showing for a type of mask covered his face. "Or shall I say what are you?" stood still as he looked at her and then left so fast it seemed he disappeared, grabbing her arm, without moving forward. She saw his cape and felt something that she felt when the gun went off but didn’t notice then. Cassia passed out then.

Nikki Sabara had given up demon-hunting for some time now, everyone was taking their lives somewhere and her fantasy danger job wouldn’t get her far. Treck had decided to go to law school, who’d ever think ehh? Eddy had moved to a house in Paris and wanted to fund Nikki’s trips from there but she just decided to pull the plug on it. Nikki demon-huntress was no more. But surely a regular job was not to her liking, she was intelligent enough for most jobs dealing with paperwork but spending her day in the office sounded too dull for our adventures. That was when she came upon Dr. Bill Schawger, a man in his early forties and a well renowned archeologist. He came across Nikki’s resume on-line when she was seeking a job in artifacts, and he called her giving her the opportunity of a life time to work side by side as his partner on various archeological digs and explorations. Nikki surely agreed, this was what she wanted even better! Adventure yet no blood, no running for her life from something that looks like a cross between Chucky and a twelve foot tall dragon and of course no more dark tunnels and daring getaways. Safe adventure..... or so she thought.
Johnny just couldn’t put up with this, no FBI crap, no Dana Scully, nothing. She had made up her mind that day and stormed into the office dropping her badge and gun and firmly declaring she quit. FBI was not for her anyways. But then again she still hadn’t re-inlisted to her previous position. She had much unused money and a well earned vacation. Nothing to be on her mind. Except one thing, now that Lestat is back and so are her old feelings for him and her relationship with Nick had been on thin ice ever since the issue with the kids had come up months earlier. But this wasn’t time to worry, for once in a long time Johnny just lay down on her bed and fell asleep and not giving a fuck about anything.
Oh poor Shannon, she was the only kind and will always be the "special one" but all things must change sooner or later, no was to undo what must happen. And to think no one would ever think of Shannon to actually be gone... but sadly she is. How it came about is truly a mystery but over the past few months we’ve seen how she became depressed how she dreaded it all. This was her time to go back. It is possible to reverse things in matter but all that is too early and too complicated, let’s just leave it at she’s really gone and have a moment of silence for her......................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... all right now, with her returning, another crow (talon) emerged. A kick ass seventeen year old talon by the name of Tracy with auburn hair a bit below her shoulders and blue eyes. Her story may have been screwed up over the past and truly the details aren’t known yet but I will now explain to you the title line. Tracy grew up in the wrong part of the town, her father a drunk and her mother on drugs most her life. Tracy the only child learned to depend on herself and the only other person even close to a sister, the girl next door, Melinda Karmen, knows as Milly Kay. They both had hard lives and the school wasn’t exactly in their vocabulary. One day there was a drive by shooting and as expected Tracy and Milly were among the seven tragedies. When the talon (female crow) brought Tracy back, lost and disoriented, she wouldn’t accept anything. In her mind she was mistaken for someone else who was killed and she was in a coma for a year, so everyone thought Tracy was dead while the other girl was and Tracy was in a coma. That’s what she believed not knowing the truth of the talon. She left herself dead though, no need telling anyone anything. She got some cash and stole a motorcycle. The one thing she wished for all her life. That’s the main idea I guess. She’s cool as the new crow but she’s not my Shannon.

Nikki Sabara, our 25 year old, blond curly haired, blue eyes, archeologist and major in paranormal psychology. All her life after collage had been pursuing demons and other such things. For once she wanted a normal life and when she signed on for an archeological dig and exploration of a new founded tomb, that’s what she thought it would be. But then her professor was killed, she passed many traps nearly dyeing herself and finally found a medallion in the center of the tomb and with it she found things way beyond her wildest dreams and a deadly legend that just might be true. She grabbed the medallion and made it out barely being chased by a Sphinx and her Jeep badly destroyed. The moment she returned from her journey and reread what she quickly wrote down. She knew she couldn’t handle all this alone. Sara Pezzini, homicide detective and wielder of the witchblade, Lara Croft well renown archeologist and her partner on some earlier digs, Joanna Santor, homicide detective and the infamous hell-cat and finally Ivory, previously known as Kelly Christine and the female hell spawn. Nikki called all of them to a dinner and revealed what she found asking the help. There are four other medallions such as this, the one she has is the sun, then there is the moon, the water, the fire and the humanity, in tombs spread all over the world. As the legend goes, long ago, all the gods on Earth decided humanity was too evil to be loud to live on, but rather then destroy it they thought to let it destroy itself. They took back all the magic from the world and left to their realm leaving Earth naked and alone. But one god, whose name differs through out the myths, felt sorry so he created a sphere of magic and placed it in one place he thought would deserve it.... Atlantis. And so, Atlantis flourished while the rest died, until one day, the secret of Atlantice was found out and the world wanted the sphere and chance to live too. They combined forces and attacked killing everyone. But when they had the sphere question was who would get it? Who’s country would live? They came up with the idea to split up the orb and place parts of it into different medallions and spread it over the world, and that is what they did. Theory was when the medallions are moved the world would begin to die again... but the theory is not true. What is true is that the medallions posses great power and if one man has all five he can indeed destroy the world. Nikki has one, two are still in their tombs but two are in the possession of one of the evilest men on the planet. And that is where Nikki needs help, she must acquire the others and keep them safe. On top of that Nikki has to put her previous work on hold, she was trying to figure out the origin of Sara’s witchblade and see if it can be linked to Ivory’s armor of hell.
Ivory had always been seen as a good little girl spoiled by a misunderstanding with some freak from hell. Boy do people have wrong ideas... <mumbling> freak from hell my ass....... now where was I?.. oh yeah. Whoever calls Al a freak should burn in hell themselves and........ no wait wrong subject. Ivory’s story was a cover-up by Al, he helped her in a manner of speaking. His armor didn’t do anything to her, he met her when she was already a hell spawn and maybe saw her once or twice before that when they both were alive. Kelly Christine grew up in a rich family, instead of going to college she joined the marine forces and after a few years ended up as a rookie in the same organization Al worked at. She had only been there half a year when he was killed and the whole Spawn thing took place. Kelly quit that very same day. Her parents wouldn’t take her back and she was forced to work as a waitress. Meanwhile the rich father of a fellow rookie, Melissa Jacob, made a very dangerous pack with the devil and was doubled crossed. After spawn backed out of the deal, the devil needed a new hell spawn and Melissa filled the requirements. But the father didn’t want his daughter dead so he found Kelly and made a deal with her to act as Melissa for a day, making up some lie. His plan worked and Kelly was killed instead. We won’t get into what the rich guy and his daughter got for their trick but fact is Kelly fit the requirements and agreed. When she returned to Earth she tricked Spawn into helping her and got out of the deal. Well that’s all for now.

As we all know Ivory got the deal on the Blue Ivy, her night club, through becoming Vincent’s partner. But Vincent still took care of all the financial things, gave out the cash, while she hosted the club, took the cash. Well what Ivory did not know was that long ago when Vincent first started the club, he borrowed money from the mob. Well even as his fortune grew, he refused to pay it back thinking he can double cross them. Well the day came when they wouldn’t take it anymore and send a hit-man, Ian Nottingham, to kill Vincent so that they can take on the gold mine, the club. And Ian filled out his job perfectly, Vincent died instantly along with the girl he was in bed with, or so Ian thought. But when the records were seen something was noted, Vincent’s partner a woman named Ivory, a woman Ian swore he killed. But when Ivory winds up alive, nuh-duh! All of the club now belongs to her. And it ain’t gonna be so easy to take something away from Ivory...... unless of course that something is Ian and that someone is me, Amy , but that’s a long story... hehe.
Ivory had released Spawn from her little trap a long while ago, about a month at least. Now we don’t know why she did it, whether it was due to change of heart or just as she said it "I had no further use for him and got tired of him in bed" but thing is she let loose of her little spell. That of course doesn’t mean Al is all happy and back to normal again, whatever normal is for him, it just simply means he can’t try anything on her since she is definitely stronger then him and knows how to push the right buttons and act the right roles. To her Al is like a toy whom she can easily control or dispose of. And Al won’t take any chances with her. He hates "the bitch" and wants her back in hell and he is not one to calm down on his revenge factor, especially whenever he is reminded of Zak. The girl from the story a few weeks back, Cassie, was a homeless child and over this while had become Al’s new friend, a bad thing unless you’ve got powers. Well, Al knows there is only one person Ivory fears, someone she didn’t like first time their eyes locked. In her mind she felt he could see right trough her act and that scared her. That someone is the medieval spawn, the one before Al and if he’s still alive he might be the only one strong enough to take her down. But Ivory knows this, and she has her own plan involving a certain eight year old little girl....
A drive by shooting, that’s all Tracy remembers, she and Milly Kay were walking and BANG. But her mind somehow blocked the torture, the secrets, the lies. Tracy and Milly had always wanted to leave their town, the saved up money as much as they can, they were gonna pack up and leave on the bus to Virginia, start a new life and be best friends forever. They had allot saved up, they would leave in only a few weeks, three at most. But Milly had been hooked up with a gang ever since few months back, a ruthless gang Tracy could never know about and be safe. Milly kept this to herself until it was only a month before their trip to the new life. Somehow the gang found out Milly was gonna leave and she had to go trough a ruthless ceremony to be let out, she was going to be killed in the end but somehow managed to run away and get Tracy. She begged Tracy to leave this moment and Tracy didn’t question her friend, they packed their stuff and were going to the bus stop to leave earlier and hope to get by, on the way there Milly explained all this. But then was when the van drove by, but rather then shooting them it shot some other people and kidnapped them both. That was how they were killed, somewhere in some factory. Why Tracy forgot when she came back isn’t known. She still doesn’t believe she is dead, neither does she remember anything of the gang at all. Maybe it’s meant to be.. or maybe she’ll have to learn soon, very, very soon.

"Chucho! Loca Madre! What in de world happen to my place!?" Joseph walked into his ‘place’ or more like a busted up abandoned church factory, and his jaw dropped nearly to his feet, his eyes out. The place was ransacked, much more the unusual, half his stuff was stolen and the place itself was all in graffiti. Ella walked in right after him fixing her ray-bans, she looked up and held back a chuckle. "Woah madre! Ai-yi-yi ! Esta’ muy loco.. I never even thought your place could be even more of a pig sty... guess this proves me wrong eh.. bub" Ella said and grinned. He turned to her with a stern look. Ella shrugs. Joseph sees his new T.V smashed in with a hammer and goes ballistic. "Awww maan! That wuz expensive gear man! Lousy buncha no’goods wanna par-tee in my place!!!!" He throws his hands up in the air and sighs. Just then something catches Ella’s eye, she gasps slowly and approaches a wall with odd graffiti, staring at the symbols {! " å ý ¼ ® A } "oh loca madre" she whispers to herself, Joe notices her and walks over, he looks to her expression " ‘ey loca ellamina? You a’rite? Watcha lookin at... c’mon les’ go, I feel like food ‘stead jes’ sittin round. I betcha there plenny for de both of us...." he looks up to what she’s looking at " if ya ‘spect that to move I hate to break it to ya hun.. but it ain’t gonna happen" waves a hand in front of her face.. ""peligrosso" she whispers and then looks to Joseph " oh good, I tought ye were sordo tere fora momento" he pauses for a moment "peligrosso? , don’choo go all tat mysteriouso crap on me loca ellamina" Ella turns to face Joe. "I’m not, don’choo worry, don’choo lissen ‘bout anything I say" she smiles and playfully but hard punches him in the arm. " well m’man c’mon, les’ get goin’ I needa sumptin’ to chew on..... we’ll go wit’ my car" "yeah loco, as if it even your carro" Ella fixes her shades and walks over to the door, kicking a table on the way, she glances back once more to the symbol that she knew was referring to her.

Ivory knew she could overpower Al quite easily, and he probably knew it too. There are so many things Ivory could do to hurt him and then she could seduce him again as she did earlier. He was weaker then her but MS was not. He could stand up to her and he alone. Sure Ivory had a backup plan if the worse happened and she was forced to fight him, But that plan wouldn't save her from hell. And she wasn't too pleased to return there. She had to work something out if she wanted to live. And she knew what she could do. She got a message to Al to meet her at her club to work something out. She then waited since it was the only thing she could do. It was about ten when Al showed up in her suite, Ivory wore a light blue lingerie type dress. "Welcome Al hon" she spoke without turning to face him "wadda you want Ivory?" he spoke "like I said I wanna work something out, I dun't wanna return to hell.... I wanna,. Get along" chuckles slightly, ôwell I donÆt want to get along, someone like you doesnÆt deserve to live and IÆll Make sure you wonÆt even if I go down with youö looks at her strictly, his mask on, Ivory whirls around on her stool and grins ôthatÆs not very nice luvö she brushes her hair behind her shoulder ôfuck offö doesnÆt move, he stands near the balcony and not off the lights are on so only the moonlight shows from the balcony, Ivory stands keeping her eyes on AlÆs. Al is about to turn and leave, a fight is not something heÆd want, when Ivory walks up close to him, he turns, his mask retracting suddenly, she wraps her hands around him kissing him before he can utter a word. Al pushes her back slightly ôback off bitchö that just makes her smile, she whirls around with him so that her back is to the balcony and kisses him again, his face is already back to normal. ôKeep your mouth shut and donÆt argueö grins and pushes him back onto her bed, all the lights go on by her command....... you know I wonder what Ivory would do if Renee or should I say Reinee opened the door right now with her master key. *Giggles*
Well since we're discussing Ivory's club, The Blue Ivy, right now let's go over some things. Well it's a place of about two structures locked together, a building and a one story club. It's located somewhere in Manhattan near Times Square and was previously owned by Vincent but is now owned by Ivory. The workers there are Frank, the bartender, Amanda the maid, Ren and ? who are the bouncers and Renee, god knows what her job is. Me, Amelia also hang around often with Ian *giggles* ... don't ask!.... well thatÆs the club part, the building part holds eight rent out rooms on the first floor and five suites on the second. Suite #1 is ReneeÆs and I think it's like the suckiest suite since it doesnÆt have a balcony nor a hot tub, #2 is Ivory's and has both. Nuh-Duh, she's the owner. #3 is mine and it has a balcony but not a hot tub, I don't mind much. #4 belongs to Ian Nottingham it doesn't have a balcony but does have a hot tub, this is why I don't mind mine not having one.... P.S. Renee you say one word and you die slowly and painfully. #5 is empty and reason is there was once this fight there between a werewolf and a Tzmise kindred *shivers* even know it has a hot tub and a balcony it also has body parts all over the place which kinda make's the place unlivable.. besides the wolfo buried the vamp's brain somewhere and no one wants to play 'search for the brain!' Well there are two sets of keys for the suites, the first I have and the second pair is the master pair on the key chain with ALL the club keys. It's behind the bar. And IÆm having my suite keys removed from it, and Ian's keys too 'cause Reinee has a little habit of snooping around when people are in the middle of something! And that gets to annoy some people. Well otherwise I love the place, it's really getting to establish it's attitude, Even though Renee seems to feel left out, or depressed or something when she's there. Prolly cause she feels uncomfortable around Ian. Actually the only one she truly talks to is Franky the bartender, nice guy in his late forties, mortal. He cracked this joke yesterday when I came in and I forgot to change shape, I can change shapes in my other body, into the waist long blond haired blue eyed eighteen year old and was my regular short haired blodie with brown eyes self. Well I sorta kissed Ian and was in my 14yr old form, and he is like in his early thirties, so that defiantly looked odd. Well Franky said that child-services would sure have a fun time with this one. *Giggles* well that's all for now, bye!

It wasn't hard for Ellamina
to catch up with Joseph's 60s pink cadallac with bumper stickers all over it, it was hard not racing past the damn thing. Sometimes she just wished he'd get a bike like most of their kind. Her blond curls were up in her helmet, not that she needed one, but she was used to it. Her leather jacket flapped around unzipped showing her black tank top. Out of the corner of her eye she watched Joseph not to go to fast to lose him. She wasn't really hungry and had no clue where they'd go after his snack, but prolly to get more food. Would've been easier if he'd just hopped on her bike with her. As if he'd ever listened, aye caramba! She snapped pout of her chain of thoughts long enough to note they turned into some trailer park. It was mostly grassy or muddy around which made it easier for her to slow down enough to stay side by side with that awful car. She looked to Joe as if asking him if we're here or just passing trough but he couldn't tell what she was saying trough her helmet so just shook her head and wished she took her walkman. There was a scream, actually it was more of a girl yelling in a really loud voice "FUCK YOU!" at someone, Joseph must've gotten distracted cause he was driving straight into a trailer, when he saw this he hit the breaks and turned sharply right into Ella's path, she was forced to turn sharply and the motorcycle tipped skidding into the road and splashing mud all over her black jeans and jacket. Ella got up and took of her helmet, her blond hair tumbling down, Joseph got out of the car. "Tu loca la cabeza Joe! Ay-yi-yi madre look at my bike!" shakes her head and lifts her bike up into a standing position. "'member me stereo loca Ellamina" grins happily. Ella rolls her eyes. Just then they hear that girl again "I don't give a fuck about your rights, you piece of shit left me four years ago if anything you should be paying my ass!" the girl yelled, from where they were they could see she was a blond with dark roots of about nineteen, she wore a gray sports tank top and was in her underwear, it was outside in the dark but in front of what seemed to be her trailer. She had a gun in her hand pointed as some dude dressed in some old worn out jacket and leather pants, he looked so ridiculous Ella nearly laughed, especially by the way he was acting he seemed to think he looked "hot" and that was hilarious. "You's snack or mine?" Joe whispered "huh?.. who the dude? You can have him" turned to Joe her eyes yellow now too "wha? Why'd I gotta get the stupido" "'cause you smashed my wheels, an' cause you ain't touchin de trailer park girl" Ella grins and Joe doesn't really get the last part of her comment but before he can say anything to her, she leaps up onto the trailer and out of his sight "ehh well he seem to be ask'in fo it anyways". Ella leans back against the tree in the back, she's not hungry anyway. She feels something but doesn't say anything "a’rite, if you wish so now's the momento" she whispers to who it isn't seen. A shadow appears behind the tree and Ella shuts her eyes. A glimmer of a blade is seen and....... a blast of energy seems to emerge and the shadow disintegrates, Ella opens her eyes to see who did it, who saved her. A girl with short brow hair (Natalie Imbrulia type hair) and green eyes stands there a smirk on her face, the girl is no older then sixteen, she wears a leather coat a bit longer then her butt, a black T-shirt and tight leather pants with black army boots. Ella seems to stand there with her mouth half open. The girl winks just then Joe's voice is heard, Ella turns and when she turns back the girl's gone. "'ey loca Ellamina, where 'ye bin? I bin lookin for 'ye..... you a'rite?" he looks to her "yeps, les go par-tee Joe" smiles.05/28/99 Saturday
Her name, Lisa Nifflenger, she appears as a beautiful female with waves of flame red hair and emerald green eyes. She is of unimaginable power and yet she is the only one who truly understands when someone appears to be less powerful usually means their the stronger one. Before three years ago that was the line she lived by but never truly understood. Now she fully understands it and fears it. Lisa sits in an old motel, the lights are off and the shades parted allowing the soft glow of the moon to shine in as she sits on the floor by the bed her green velvet cloak covering her. She is so old she doesn’t even know what she is any longer or what her ‘job’ is. She recalls what she was created for, but that was so, so long ago and since then her views changed so, so much. She isn’t part of "them" any longer. She hadn’t been for a long time now but what she realizes is that all the time she was a "loner" she based her principles, her justice on a sentence that she didn’t fully understand then. "The weaker you seem to the eyes of the stronger the stronger you are in the eyes of the weaker" this simple line has so many meanings, oh how many mistakes can be made if you base your life on the wrong one, it’s like weaving scarf and messing up on the first stitch, the whole thing is messed up unless you un-weave it and start over. And the disturbing thing about this whole complicated scarf is that Ivory is one of the threads and Al is another and no one can do a thing to un-weave it but the one who began it or one of the ones that are part of it. No one. Not even ...Ñ Ï

I have to say that things at the "Blue Ivy" are going quite well. Reinee had cleaned up the fifth suite and took it for her own. As for the hole in the wall I created when I sorta fell in Nottigham’s room and bashed my head on the wall that his suite and Reinee’s share, well I got someone to patch it up. I thought about it and decided that a hole in the wall through which I can spy on Reinee sometimes isn’t so good cause that little idea works both ways. *Giggles* Well, Ivory took care of her Al problem, I’m not getting into any details cause that’s just gross and I never bothered to ask for any ‘’details‘’ I finally realized what Frank means when I ask about Ivory and he says "I don’t know and Ames I don’t wanna know" . Also Reinee seemed to be getting along with Nottigham better, all I gotta do is not mention he’s a hitman, cause if I do she covers her ears and says "I don’t wanna hear it!.. lalalalala"
06/10/99 Thursday
I was really mad at Reinee in the other reality, actually I was mad at her in this reality too now that I think of it and well I guess it all started when Amanda pissed off Ivory and Ivory fired her. Amanda left quietly without saying good-bye to anyone, which doesn’t surprise me, she was really shy. The others seemed fine about it. Frank didn’t even say a word and the bouncers, well they plainly didn’t even know Amanda. Ivory must’ve told Reinee to take care of hiring new services and she told Reinee that while she’s at it finding a maid to get someone to fill in on what was supposed to be my job watching out for any intruders and checking the entire place before it opens and after it closes, which I didn’t even know about, hehe I thought my job was to just hang out. Well I had my hair short brown till that time, as you know I change my looks once in a while. Well I was sorta hanging around in my room, I heard about a new maid but didn’t catch her name nor met her yet. I knew Reinee was gonna hire some other girl as an assistant and plainly didn’t care. That is until I saw who she was, my hair was blond and eyes were green when I came down to the club and noticed Reinee, Ian and her, who’s name I shall not mention. I met this girl once or twice long ago and she is such a bitch! Even more then Ivory, so Ivory killed some kid at least Ivory’s nice to me! This girl, she’s like nineteen and like a punk, oh and she sees things too, I thought she was a malkie but she’s a witch. Well anyway we won’t get into why I don’t like her, all I’ll say is she thinks she’s like the strongest witch or something and she thinks I’m a baby... which is sorta true but if we use those terms, I’m a baby with a rocket launcher, and that’s someone you do not mess with. Let alone she was totally flirting with Nottigham, who is mine! I wanted to hear what they were saying so I quickly changed my looks and walked over to a seat at the bar from which I could hear. Luckily only Frank recognized me and I told him to call me Shirley, first name that poped into my head. Reinee was gonna give this girl a job, my job!.. so I’d still be paid, I know that, but I want my job!! Actually I don’t but I don’t want her to have it either! And the way the girl was looking at Nottigham, if I was 14 at the moment I’d BBQ her. I’m surprised I didn’t smash any glasses or wine bottles. Well all that was a couple days ago and I sorta calmed down. Still mad at Reinee, especially when I told her not to hire the girl and she said "what’s your problem Natalie, she’s my friend and you never do your job, and remember Ivory put me in charge". Well anyways, I’m ignoring both of them now. They always sit and chat at the fifth table to the right of the dance-floor, what in the world can they have in common still puzzles me. The girl never paying much attention to me, well everyone was looking at me after what I put on last night. Even Ivory raised a brow and I heard her tell Frank that I’m picking up her habits already. The best part was the face of Reinee and her friend when I passed by them later. haha. I had long bronze colored hair and emerald eyes, I seemed about nineteen at the time. Well what exactly I did I shall not state but it was something Ivory would do, and did a few times and I heard Reinee say "I think I’m gonna be sick" although I’m still surprised I heard that from the couch. As of the moment it is morning and there’s no school. I wonder if Reinee will remember and I sorta hope she will cause I can’t wait to hear what she’ll say.
Heya!!! Jeanie here! Well remember my popularity list in December?. I’m doing another one this June! This day! Now!
1. Ivory
2. Spawn
3. Ariel Chylde
4. Angeles (dunno how to spell it)
5. Sara Pezzini
6. Lara Croft
7. Lukas Power
8. Akira & Arlena Marquess (tie)
9. Valaska
Hehe, like mommy like child, last time Catzy was the most unpopular in the death number 9, now it’s her daughter! Beat out by her own daddy. Anyways lets give reasons. Ivory is #1.. she’s neat, she’s a bitch, she owns a club, she’s from hell.. what more do you want!? Spawn is #2 cause well he’s Spawn.. duh! #3 is Ariel and she’d been getting lots of attention lately, we all © the girl who can turn into horrible monsters don’t we. Besides she’s got a really neat sidekick, that red little demon Piece won her lotta points with our judges. #4 is Angeles(spelling?) now don’t confuse him with the goody-goody corny Angel. This is the bad dude and he looks really cute in tight leather pants which he wears. Besides when he’s evil he can do what he wants and not give a damn about anything. He tried to bite me during the interview! Yay!... no wait that bad... isn’t it? Sara slipped down to #5 but she’s still up on the list and who can blame her as you noticed with Spawn and Ivory, living armor is popular this season!... you wouldn’t know where I can get some would ya?... What better then the witchblade? #6 Lara is something and everyone agrees the list wouldn’t be complete without a video game girl adventurer. Besides her quote of the month makes me crack up "I can’t even wear my green tank top with cargo’s anymore because I am accused of being a look alike of Lara Croft! When I bloody well am Lara Croft!" As much as Catzy hated our #7 contestant, the judges © him. He’s an evil immortal dude with kids, kewl huh? Immortal and living armor, that’s all we need to make the world a chaotic place, oh yeah and bimbo reporters like me!.. wait that’s not right *scratches her bleach blond head* anyhow, our two lovely immortals are at #8 Akira, who happens to know Luke closely *giggles* and Marquess. What else to say, they got swords they used to wear those hoop dresses. Just for living through those things they got lotta points! And well we got Catzy Jr. At #9 for some reason she makes me think of Austin Power’s new movie, that bad guy got a small clone type child too, he called it mini-me *giggles* I gotta see that movie. Catzy should’ve called her little look alike........*thinks for a moment*...................... mini-cat! *Laughs hysterically at the keyboard* hey she’s one fourth of Catzy and looks exactly like her, only smaller, so why not..... that’ll be my nickname for her. ... mini-cat! Mini-cat! She’s smaller then a rat! Watch were you put your hat! Or you’ll strangle mini-cat. *Keeps laughing and singing her little rhyme* ((and people think I’m nuts!... Amelia here... Hell kicked Jeanie out when she wanted to interview everyone there, actually they kicked her out when she started suggesting flowers and some pastel colors to brighter up the place she then said that the female demons oughta tie bows on their horns and that scared the devil half to death and bye bye Jeanie, a kick in the ass and she went flying to Earth to bug us again))

For the last century or so, Catherine had been the baby. She had been Ari’s beloved chylde, the girl whom Ari adored and would play with constantly. Catherine was the cutie. Everyone of Ari’s friends knew of Cathy, she was the center of everything, she was the nuts little sixteen year old. Cathy loved this spot, she had an asylum and Ari ruled it whenever Ari visited which was quite often. Cathy used to be the one to make the kill or cut of the pizza boy’s head. All those privileges belonged to Cathy, those were the privileges of being Ari’s only chylde. Cathy never thought threatened. After all she was the smallest, the cutest, the sweetest malkie there ever was. And everyone adored her, her silly little tricks and games made people awe and say how cute. That’s the way Cathy thought it would always be. Until a little fourteen year old, retarded but very beautiful and cute, girl with chestnut hair in long curls and aquamarine eyes, that held a dark spark of knowledge in them, entered Ari’s life. The girl was a real loony, acting like a baby, playing with crystal prisms, and locked up in a mental house for murder. Seems she liked to shine lights into people’s eyes and make them fall down stairs. The girl was a real case, but sure a cutie. And she hated the asylum she was in, always wanting to escape the "baa...ad men" in custodian suits who worked at the place. Ari saved the girl, Ari killed the men, Ari had her chylde. Cathy’s not the baby anymore now that the smaller, the cuter, the sweeter malkie and Ari’s new baby is here. From the moment Cathy lay eyes on the cute loony by the name of Silvia she knew she was forgotten. And she didn’t like it one bit.
Melissa was dead, killed by clown. Both she and her father for the little trick they did to fool hell. And of course now that hell had Kelly for the hell spawn, Melissa wasn╞t needed for that no more. Or so Kelly thought. Since her return she hadn╞t even dreamed of Melissa. That was all past her. Or so she thought in her cozy little club. Ivory didn╞t know that since she betrayed hell and refused to lead the army they needed a new leader. One to be obedient and to wipe out past mistakes. Mistakes named Al and Ivory. And who better then their first choice. After three years in hell Melissa was offered a choice, one she would never refuse. There╞s a new hell spawn on earth and she will actually listen for a chance. But this curly haired brunette with emerald eyes isn╞t stupid either. Facing someone adapt to her armor won╞t be easy if Melissa don╞t know how to use hers. She has a strategy on her mind and soon Ivory won╞t seem such a threat. Melissa is just learning to use her armor and won╞t try anything but Ivory knows of her and will be ready. She won╞t be defeated by the bitch of her past in her future. And this would be a perfect time for revenge she never got for her death.

Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully walked through the streets of Manhattan, it was about 11 PM. Scully was whirling a small black matchbox around her fingers, on it in neon blue letters the wording Blue Ivy and the address on back. Only a block or so. "So, Scully you think that this place is something other then an ordinary club?" Mulder asked "Mulder, we've had links to this place on are last four x-files, all taking place in NYC. This matchbox was found on that guy drained of blood, and another in the pocket of our so called "werewolf" case, and that's the two normal ones, we gotta at least take a look around" Dana said as they approached the entrance. Two bouncers stood in leather pants and black shirts. A line was lined up in front. Scully and Mulder cut past the line and showed their badges to the bouncers asking for the owner. The bouncers let them in right away. As they entered the big night club the music was loud, there was a crowd on the dance floor, some people with drinks occupied the tables. There was a crimson couch not far from the entrance and a blond girl of about 16 with long hair was making out with some guy of about 30 who looked like a long haired Keanu Reeves with Fabio's body. Some people sat at the bar and a bartender wiped the counter, he seemed in his 40s. Mulder and Scully approached him. "Hello, I'm Agent Dana Scully, this is my partner Agent Fox Mulder, we're with the FBI. We would like to speak with the owner" Scully said, the bartender looked up "sure thing luv. Ivory's in her office, it's the first door on the right after the staircase, through there" he said pointing in the direction. Mulder and Scully walked to a small corridor behind the bar and stopped at the first door on the right. Mulder turned the knob and the entered. Mulder walked in not looking up and searching for his notepad and pen. Scully glanced around the small cozy office, with crimson colored carpet, a cherry wood desk, a leather couch, bookshelves on one side of the office and a leather chair in which sat a woman in her early twenties, he long brown hair down to her waist, she wore a skin tight leather short dress and thigh high boots. She was flipping through some papers when the two walked in, she put the papers down and looked up her silver green eyes examining the two. "Hello.. Ms. Ivory, I am Agent Dana Scully of the FBI, this is my partner Agent Fox Mulder, we'd like to ask you some questions" Dana said, Mulder finally looked up, his eyes nearly fell out when he saw Ivory "uhm.. yeah.. what Scully said" he mumbled. "Go ahead then, take a seat" Ivory motioned to the couch "oh we won't be long, just some people were found dead and had matches from your club, we'd like to know if you know any of them" Scully said tossing some pictures onto Ivory's desk. Ivory picked them up and looked through them "can't say I know em, I have seen one or two but really, I don't spend much time making friends" she said in a calm voice and tossed the pictures back "all right, mind if I take a look around?" Scully asked in that same calm voice "not at all" Ivory said grinning slightly. Scully brushed her red waves of hair back and walked to the door, she turned to Mulder who had taken a seat at the couch "you coming?" she asked "nah, I think I’ll ask Ms. Ivory a few more questions, Scully" he answered, Scully shrugged and walked out just as the blond girl from the couch passed by her and in to the office. Scully gave the girl an odd look remembering the 30 year old guy. Ivory glanced to the girl giving her a go away I’m busy look. "Listen, Ive, Reinee’s not showing up tonight, and uhm... Al's went.. somewhere. All I wanted to say was that me and Ian are gonna watch the club for now for Reinee, though it's HER job" the blond girl wined and brushed her hair from her green eyes "yeah, yeah, whatever Amelia, I’ll give you her pay.. just go already!" Ivory said slightly annoyed waving her hand for Amelia to go away. Amelia smiled brightly, "oky!" she yelped and ran back out. Mulder seemed to have kept his eyes on Ivory the entire time. "So.. uhm.. Ms. Ivory.. how long have you owned this.. club?" he asked. Ivory stood up and walked around to the front of her desk and hopped up on it crossing her legs. "Please, call me Ivory, about half a year now" she said and 'accidentally' dropped her leather glove. Mulder hopped up and picked it up to give to her. She took it "thank you Agent Mulder" she said in her schoolgirl tone and wrapped her arms around him kissing him for a long moment "wow..uhg.. I mean... call me Fox"
06/25/99 Friday
Brooklyn, New York. Pier not far from Lincoln High School. Friday 1:00pm. Agent Fox Mulder and his partner Agent Dana Scully park their brand new champagne colored Ford Taurus. Dana Scully gets out wearing her usual brown suit with heels, Fox seems a bit tired but tries to act normal in front of Dana. "I left early last night, had to run some files on that whole boat water people incident" Dana said "hope you didn’t worry or look for me" she added "well, I.. figured you followed up on something" he said, the tone in his voice saying he doesn’t wanna talk about last night. Dana noded as they approached a large white yacht. "This is the Matthews girl’s boat?" Mulder asked surprised "no, actually this yacht belongs to a British archeologist Ms. Lara Croft. Ms. Croft is friends with Joanne as well, so she knows who we are." Dana said as they walked up the metals steps and onto the yacht. There, on a pink beach towel, lay a girl in her mid-twenties with black shoulder length hair and black sunglasses on, she wore a silver colored bikini. "Excuse me, I suppose you’re Ms. Aspen Matthews?" Dana spoke, the girl jumped up surprised and pulled off her shades revealing her glittering ocean blue eyes "yes, why?" she asked "I’m Agent Fox Mulder, this is my partner Agent Dana Scully, we’re with the FBI here to ask you a few questions" Fox spoke. Aspen sighed and lowered her eyes mumbling "oh god, more idiotic, overpaid cops" she stood up and snatched up her towel "listen, I told the cops everything that I know! I was swimming underwater and the next thing I know I was being pulled out by Lara and her friend Nikki on their boat, and it was five months later!" she exclaimed holding the towel "so where were you those five months? You had the same clothes on that you had when you went out onto that beach and how did you get from San Diego to New York. You couldn’t have swam all that way. I need answers Ms. Matthews" Dana said "listen! Just leave me alone. I dunno anything. I’ve told you everything, I dunno what happened. All I know is that Ms. Croft helped me and is now kind enough to let me stay on her yacht while I’m trying to place things together. And you cops haven’t given me anything but a buncha bull shit" she said "well I think you’re lying and I will find out the truth. What was it? An ex-boyfriend? Why would a smart young biologist try to commit suicide and then run out for five months?" Dana said strictly "I didn’t jump off the bridge for suicide! I can swim.. I’m fine.. just leave me the fuck alone" she said bringing her hands to her head. "Listen to me honey. Is it because of that whole torpedo near death experience on that underwater marine biology lab a year ago? Is that it? People don’t dive off bridges for fun......" Dana was interrupted as another woman came in sharply with a long brown braid and dark eyes she focused on Dana, she dressed in pair of torn shorts and a tank top "that depends Agent Scully, people got different perspectives on fun... I mean most would call me crazy for risking my behind for some bloody artifact, but I do it all for ‘fun’" Lara smirked "now leave the poor girl alone" she walked over to Aspen and put her hand on her shoulder, she whispered something to Aspen and then looked up to Dana and Fox. "Well might I ask if you have a warrant to be on my yacht?" "well no, we just came by to ask Aspen here a question or two.." Mulder spoke sorta nervous around Lara, who took out an uzi from behind her back "well then, I suppose you better go, you would not want my finger to slip now would you" Lara smiled whirling the uzi around her finger. "Fine then, Ms. Matthews I’ll find out the truth.. and you Ms. Croft shouldn’t be pointing those things at FBI agents" Dana spoke and turned around. Aspen wrapped her towel around her waist and looked to Lara who put away her gun. Fox and Dana descended down the metal steps and to their car. "That was harsh Lara, and after all she was Joanne’s partner" Aspen said "What was harsh was how she spoke to you, she had no right for that. What is your business is only to those whom you wish to tell." Lara said watching the car speed away in the distance "and I couldn’t bloody well care who’s partner she was" Lara added "hmm.... it’s just I can take care of things myself, thanks though. You’re a good friend and we’ve only been friends ‘bout two weeks" Aspen smiled "well, you get your tan while I have to go map something"....
06/26/99 Saturday
The pretty new Ford Taurus drove down Brooklyn streets. It was about seven PM the next day. "All that was useless Mulder. Where could we possibly get anything on that girl. She’s hiding something though and I know it" Dana spoke, and so are you, she thought "well I think I know just who might help us. On my way out of the club last night I bumped into this teen. She was very friendly and when I asked her things she gave me the address to an underground club and said to find a girl named Jeanie, that she knows everything" Mulder said glancing down to a napkin and then on the apartment numbers. "Seems like a waste of time to me, we need to run some files, do some serious reser......" Dana was interrupted as the car came to a halt "got it!" Mulder exclaimed. He got out of the car and slammed the door shut. Scully got out as well looking over the quite looking houses wondering what exactly was it that Mulder got. Mulder walked over to a picket fenced white house. Dana shrugged and followed him not wanting to ask anymore questions. Mulder climbed the stairs and glanced at the napkin in his hand on which some stuff was scribbled on. He knocked on the door in some sort of code. Dana moved to his side as they waited for the door to open. "You know something Mulder, that blond girl you mentioned, was she the one making out with that guy earlier?" Dana asked "yeah why?" "cause I think I know her from somewhere... she just struck me familiar" Dana said "yeah I know, me too....." he answered just as the door was opened by a red hared girl in a silver tight dress she gave an odd look to Dana and Fox "uhm.. we’re here to see a reporter named Jeanie" Fox said and put on a smile, the girl rolled her eyes and mumbled "Jeanie always knows these fucked up retarded people *humf!*" she turned around and let them in and down the stairs. Music boomed loudly so you could barely hear a thing and colorful lights flashed over the place. People were everywhere andeveryone was dancing and making out. The red head pointed to the bar before she disappeared into the crowd. "Why do we always end up in these weird clubs" Dana mumbled as they stumbled through the crowd to the bar. As they reached the bar, among the many people, a girl in a tight leather neon pink dress, that looked more like a bathing suit, stood out the most. She had lots of bleach blond hair and her annoying voice seemed even louder then the music. Dana guessed that was Jeanie. "Excuse me, are you Jeanie?" Fox called out, the girl turned around and focused her aqua eyes on him. She smiled brightly "Agent MULDER! Hi! Remember me right? How’s it going? I hope it’s good, oh and Scully’s here too, I haven’t seen ya’s in a while. But then again I didn’t wanna see ya’s cause if I did I could see ya’s anytime I want to. Like two weeks ago or something I was buying a pair of these really cute neon blue heels and there was an X on them so I thought of the X files but didn’t really mention it much. Oh yeah cause those shoes were old and though I thought they were cute I couldn’t go out of style now could I? And buying old shoes is totally out of style. That’s why that very day I went to that adorable Gucci store not far from the Blue Ivy in Manhattan. Oh I just adore that club, all fun stuff happens there, but I’m not welcome there anymore, just like I’m not welcome in hell anymore. Hey now is it my fault that place was too gloomy. I say it needs NEON and BABY colors. Hey if it was up to me everything would be decorated in those colors, I mean come on who needs boring shades like light blue when it can be baby blue. Or why have just dull pink when neon pink is soo much cuter ehh?.." and so Jeanie went on and on and on some more. Of course at that moment Fox and Dana remembered exactly who Jeanie and the blond teen were. When months ago the blond teen was involved in an X-file and Jeanie had snatched Mulder’s badge. God that day was pure hell. Especially when Jeanie opened her mouth. Now there was no escape. Fox tried to ask "Amelia said you can tell us of Aspen Matthew’s" but that just got Jeanie started on what effects aspirin has on her "...so you see I can’t have anything with much aspirin in it. Not cause I’m allergic like some people, truly I’m not allergic to anything as far as I know. Hey I hardly ever go to the hospitals and that only when there are some cute doctors there. But you know this once I went to the hospital and this nurse who had the most adorable earrings on had unmatched shoes I tried to tell her, but somehow wandered off the subject, I do that allot! Believe it or not. They thought I took drugs and was on one of those therapy sessions. I tried to say it was normal for me to talk so much but they plugged their ears. I dunno why many people either plug their ears or slam their heads into walls when they meet me. Sometimes they slam things on my head. You know I think I have some mental powers so that my brain sends out signals such as scratches on a chalkboard, you know when I was a little girl I loved that sound, it’s just weird my parents said but I love sounds that drive others up the wall.. hmmm.. I wonder where that saying came from? When someone is annoyed why would they drive up a wall? Why not down one? Or why does it have to be a wall at all. I don’t like walls. Except for hanging posters on them. But like I say a white wall is a boring wall. Hey wait that’s the first time I ever said that. Well now I’ll say it all the time..... what was it again? Oh darn I forgot! Oh well. Herbs improve your memory. I like herbs especially those orange looking ones that taste like strawberries with salt on them. Don’t ask why I like them. Actually do ask cause then I’ll say that I like them cause you know when you crave something sweet but with no sugar and yet you feel you want something salty with salt but not vegetable salt stuff cause that stuff is gross..." on and on and on she went, minutes seemed hours, hours seemed days until finally Mulder and Scully finally snuck away. When the singer Ricky Martin came on stage as part of some guest appearance in the club and Jeanie totally forgot about the two agents and went to bug Ricky. Last Dana and Fox saw, before they crawled out in literal pain, was Ricky kissing Jeanie just to make her shut up, ‘ey it worked. Dana and Fox collapsed in the seats of their car. "Dana? Are you alive still?" Fox asked his eyes blank as if someone who experienced pure terror "no" Dana said, reached for some advil in her purse and swallowed half the bottle. Mulder then snatched the bottle away and swallowed the other half. "Mulder, you ever wanna meet a source in an underground nightclub again and I’ll strangle you on the spot." Dana mumbled "yes Dana". Dana Scully and Fox Mulder haven’t taken a day off in years. And the very next day they both called in sick. Oh the effect one girl’s voice has on people. Not even two trained FBI agents can sustain it. Now I wonder if S.W.A.T. team members could. The chances are against them though...hehehe.
06/27/99 Sunday
Joanne Santor struggled to concentrate on her work fighting the awful headache she had since morning. She could barely remember last night’s party on Lara’s yacht. But she did get soo drunk even her cat antibodies couldn’t fight the queasy feeling off. She knows Lara, Aspen, Nikki, Sara and Amelia were there as well but couldn’t remember who else, and wasn’t trying to either. She sat at her computer dressed in a pair of sweat pants rolled up to the knees and a plain baby blue tank top. The month long vacation she took from her detective position, right after she quit her part time FBI training course, would end tomorrow and she had to file some personnel profiles. Luckily only a couple more were left, then she could relax on her nice soft window couch take a few aspirin for her headache and try to fall into a deep sleep. The thought pleased her so, that she didn’t even realize she was filing her own personnel file on her computer. She smiled reading things about herself. Heck, she hadn’t read over her own file since she graduated from H.S and that was eight years ago. She skipped over her birthdate, her childhood sicknesses, chicken pox, measles, all as a normal child should have. Times again she wondered if she had never been shot on that night would she have ever discovered her hidden powers, hell cat powers. She recalled that night again. She just graduated from two year news photo school. Her first assignment, she was only 20. And then the shots and waking up as a cat. That whole thing is what made her drop photography and apply to law school. Four years later she graduated as a detective. Fours years more she spent on the job. She was thinking back to it all when her eyes scanned over to her adoption records. Yes, Joanne was adopted. She gasped and bit her lip. All her thoughts faded. "This can’t be right" she whispered and then snapped the print button. Getting dressed in a hurry she grabbed the print out and rushed out the door.
Her old light blue ford pulled up by the port. She saw Lara’s yacht was stationed and rushed across the wooden planks and then up the metal stairs forgetting how much of a hang over she’d been having only a few hours earlier. "Lara! You here, I gotta talk to you about something" she scanned over the yacht. Lara stumbled up from below. Her hair was not in her usual braid but messily pinned up and she wore one of Aspen’s summer dresses with jelly sandals. Normally Joanne would crack up at the sight of Lara like this but this time she had other things on her mind. "JoJo luv. It’s ten in ze mornin, and after last night I really need some more sleep. So what in bloody hell do you want?" Lara said, truly looking like hell. Joanne had no thoughts of last night. "Lara, I gotta talk to you about something. And this has to do with a homicide case, and me." Joanne said and sat down on a patio chair in the front of the boat, where they stood. "all right, Jo go ahead and tell me and we are lucky I won’t doze off" Lara chuckled and sat down at a chair across from Joanne. "Funny. Well, you know, just as the others do, that my hell cat abilities came as a mystery and the such. And I was also adopted, before today I didn’t think it in anyway important or linked. My parents told me this when I was about sixteen. I gave it some thought but I remember I truly didn’t care. I loved my parents and they loved me.. heck after that day they seemed to tell me so almost every hour, prolly afraid I wouldn’t love them anymore or something. That news didn’t change my life at all, except it sparked me curious as to why my mother left me and you know, the usual things a teenager thinks. Well not long after then I snuck a peak at my school records which held my adoption records as well. I clearly recall, it said, my birth mother had me out of wedlock and then ran off with some guy leaving me, the unwanted child, in the woods by Pennsylvania. It didn’t make me mad, just something I had to know, not that my feelings at the time matter. Now when I was applying for photo school I had to pull out my papers again, this time I was of age to view them, and what struck me weird was that now my mother wasn’t mentioned. It just said that I was found in the woods and never claimed. Since they didn’t find out who’s I was I became an orphan and soon adopted. And now I was filing my papers again, eight years since I last seen them and look at this.." Joanne shoved the crumpled paper to Lara. Lara took it and scanned down to where Jo was referring. " yeah, it says something about some woman killed in the woods and some baby, what’s this have to do with you Jo hon?" Lara looked to Jo. "Lara, that baby was me. My mother didn’t abandon me, she was killed and I left an orphan, except it was covered up for some reason until now" Jo spoke "and I would come in where..?" Lara seemed still confused. "I need you to do some research for me, it says the case was put under mystery, she wasn’t just killed. She was torn apart and it says tests prove it wasn’t any animal living in Pennsylvania. It matched closely to African lion jaws but that’s impossible. I think this has to do with why I am the hell cat" Joanne explained "hmm... I’ll try Jo. But ‘ey I don’t know how to handle this sort of research. If I come up empty you’re on your own." Lara folded the paper and stood up, she shook her head again from the hang over. "Say Lara, how’s Aspen?" Joanne asked as she stood up as well "good, heh, while my bloody head is killing me for hours out here, all zat girl had to do was take a swim.. dissolve or something and all the alcohol is outta her system" Lara mumbled. She wandered back inside and Joanne wandered down the stairs wondering if she’s really on something for once. She got to her car and looked around, no one around, then to her hand, she extended her claws and sliced through the metal railing. "Why the hell can I do this? Could my mom do this too?" she mumbled her thoughts and got in driving away. As she was gone something moved in the shadows not far from where the car stood, a quick, blurry figure disappeared.
Nikki glanced to the watch around her wrist. 7:00PM. She wandered down the street calmly. It sure seemed dark for 7PM, but then again after that little party Lara threw last night it could just be her eyes. She didn’t pay much attention to where she was going. She planned to drop Sara or Amelia a visit, see how they are, but now it just seemed she was plainly wandering aimlessly. She thought again as to how in the world she met, Amelia and Sara and Jo. It seemed just weeks ago that she met Lara through a similar artifact of West India. When did Lara have time to introduce her. What happens to everything nowadays. She hadn’t even had time to call Treck and ask how his studies are. Everything just flashes quicker then life now. She sighed and moved down the street. Her blue jeans worn out at the bottom and her white baby-tee seemed almost new, probably cause she borrowed it from Amelia. She continued on, thinking o how odd it is when you seem in the midst of a problem at one moment and that next time you just stop and think the problem is gone and you stare blankly wondering where the hell did that damn thing go!?! There was a loud thump, then a slam into something like a trash can, in the next alley. Nikki raised a brow and moved closer to the brick wall. She silently peeked over the corner into the alley wanting to see what it is first before interfering. A blond biker dude, about in his twenties in all leather suit was fighting with a girl of about 17, she seemed to be of native American. She had her brown hair back in a short braid with a feather in her hair. A brown leather shirt with tassels and dark blue jeans. Her boots brown as well. But it didn’t seem like a regular angry boyfriend fight. Otherwise Nikki would interfere. They seemed to be fighting like in some kung-fu movie. The girl knelt down and high kicked the guy in the chest, he did a back flip and kicked her in the jaw, she fell back and flipped up to her feet, she then twisted in the air and locked her foot around his neck, with her other foot on his back she knocked him over her and twisted to her feet sharply "wadda ya want from me! I ain’t in the game anymore! I quit damn it! It’s over!" she yelled to the guy "it’s never over girlie!" he flipped to his feet, high kicked her across the face and then knocked her feet from under her making her tumble down. Well that scene gave Nikki an idea to who she should help. Ignoring her woozy feeling she pulled out her pistol and whirled sideways to get a clear shot "freeze! Now!" she called, the guy was about to snap the girls neck but this gave her time to react, she knocked the guy in the gut and threw him off her. Nikki held the gun on him, but in as fast as lightening he moved to knock the gun away. Nikki was confused about the whole scene but held her own. With his other leg he knocked Nikki in the face, she felt blood rush down her chin. Her consciousness faded slowly. Last thing she saw was the girl flipped back and kicked the guy in the back of his neck, cracking it. Almost at the same time, Nikki and the guy fell down.
06/28/99 Monday
The sun was just rising over the ocean, a golden rosy glow set on the waves out from the port. The huge brand new looking yacht sat anchored on the waves in it’s specific place at the port. As Aspen stood at the highest part of the yacht and watched the sky and the sea, she took note of the time. Only five in the morning. Lara lay fast asleep somewhere below in one of the cozy cabins. At this time everyone around would be asleep. Except the early fishermen, but they’d be far at sea by now and wouldn’t return till hours later. Aspen examined the port and it’s surroundings again. She watched a car pass and when it was way out of sight, she kneeled, took a deep breath. Stood up straight and extended her arms. In a quick flip forward she dived straight into the freezing morning water of the port. Even this time of summer, the water at 5AM is surely... brrrr .....cold. The waves and splashes of where she dived in faded silently into the smooth water as if nothing ever disturbed it. "Oh shit! Scully, the girl’s nuts!" Mulder yelled in a barely awake voice. Scully opened her eyes and climbed out of bed in her silky violet pajamas. She rubbed her eyes and looked to the couch on which Mulder fell asleep last night. She then brought her eyes up to Mulder standing by the window with binoculars. "What is it Mulder.." she mumbled and glanced to the clock on her bedstead "it’s five in the morning!" she exclaimed obnoxiously. "Quite, we’ll blow out cover!" Mulder said "to whom!? The sea gulls, everyone else is fast in bed" she exclaimed annoyed. "Well be glad that my friend let us borrow this yacht, otherwise we’d be back to watching through the green glow of the computer screen.. now come here!" he said and handed her the binoculars. Dana wandered over to the window and glanced out. A few boat spaces away, in the port, from the yacht Scully and Mulder were undercover on, stood Lara’s yacht. It all seemed silent as Dana looked over it. "I don’t see anything Mulder.... oh and, why do we have to share a room? When your ‘friend’ let us borrow the whole boat not just one room" Scully asked and put the binoculars down, wondering why she didn’t ask this last night. "He said he’s send the keys later, and till now only this room’s unlocked... aww shit, you missed her " Mulder mumbled as he kept his eyes out onto the yacht and the water. Scully had her eyes on him, giving him a ‘you’re nuts!’ look. "Missed who? I was in a deep sleep.. till you woke me up" She said "the Matthews girl, I could’ve sworn I saw her dive right into the water... but even if she did...... she would have resurfaced by now......or drowned" he mumbled confused his eyes not leaving the water. "Mulder, you’re seeing things, get some sleep. No one can dive off a yacht into that water and live. It’s freezing, it’s deep and not to mention it’s filled with boat anchors." Dana rolled her eyes and jumped back into bed digging her head under the pillow for some silence. "Guess you’re right.... Uhm... aren’t you gonna cook breakfast?" Mulder turned his eyes back to Scully, she raised her head up to look at him and gave him an angry look. "Cook you’re own breakfast! And let me sleep!!" she threw a pillow at him hitting him in the head. "Hey, hey I was just kidding!" he grinned and snuck out and into the deck kitchen.
Nikki slowly opened her eyes. At first everything seemed fuzzy but then it slowly drifted into focus. She was staring up at a wooden ceiling. She blinked a few times and then realized something cold was on her head. She lifted her hand and took off a wet towel filled with ice. She tried to raise a brow in surprise but her head ached when she tried. Slowly she sat up and took a deep breath. She still wore the clothes from last night . As she remembered last night she became both nervous and slightly curious. She sharply reached up to make sure her prized amulet was still around her neck. And yes it was. She then drifted her eyes over the small wooden room she was in. It seemed like a cabin. There was a window but it had closed shades and an oil lamp burned on what seemed like a little bedstead. A bowl with water and some bandages were there too. The bed she sat on was wooden and creaky but not too bad. Just as she finished taking in the place the door creaked open. A woman, seeming in her late thirties, with brown hair in a braid and calm brown eyes entered. She smiled to Nikki and carried a tray with some food on it. She wore a blue long dress with Native American designs on it and a bandanna with feather in it. Now that Nikki thought about it she looked allot like the young girl Nikki saw last night. "Oh, you’re awake, I’m glad, I was afraid it was a concussion" the woman spoke as she approached the bed. She placed the tray in her lap as she sat down on a wooden chair. Nikki reached up to feet her forehead, it stung and she yelped. "It’s a nasty bruise but you seem All right" the woman smiled again "you better get something to eat, I hope you like it" she added and nodded to the tray. "Thank you.... where am I?" Nikki managed to say "don’t worry about it honey. You’re safe. My daughter, Julia brought you in last night. Just eat something" she smiled again and handed Nikki the tray. Nikki took it. She sure was starving. She sipped the soup with the bread and looked up to the lady again, this time smiling. She was in no danger as she could see. "Thank you again.. I’m Nikki by the way" Nikki smiled, the woman nodded "it’s no big deal. I am Lanai" she said just then a door was heard open somewhere "Julia! Is that you honey? Back so soon" the woman called out the door. Nikki sipped some more soup and finished the piece of bread. "Yes mama! I’m gonna put the wood in the cupboard!" a girl’s voice called back "Julia our guest is awake!" Lanai called. In minutes the girl rushed through the door. Nikki could see her better now. She seemed allot like her mother. Her eyes the same calm brown, she smiled. "Hi, I’m Julia. You already met my mamma." She said and bowed her head in a quick position. "Hello, I’m Nikki.. I hope I’m not too much trouble here... I really didn’t mean to interfere." Nikki said as she finished the last spoon of soup. Lanai took the tray and walked out. Julia took the chair her mother sat on. "Hey, it’s no problem. You saved my butt back there, thanks" Julia said "how’s your head?" she added "it’s OK, I’ve had worse. Mind if I ask what that was all about.. oh and where am I?" Nikki said fiddling with her amulet. "You seem strong. Well for your first question it was just a little fight I got into and now you’re uptown Jersey. Mine and my mama’s cabin" Julia said. Nikki nodded, she knew it wasn’t just a little fight but didn’t want to push. "Uhm.. I gotta bike so when you feel better I can drop you off" Julia said. "Thanks" Nikki bit her lower lip, totally curious. She continued fiddling with her amulet. "That’s nice. It seems different" Julia held her eyes on the golden amulet. "It’s an artifact, I’m an archeologist and well... something of a paranormal psychologist." Nikki said shyly. "Guess it’s useless hiding from you last night’s events ehh.... I can’t talk about it now but... we’ll see ‘bout it later. Maybe I can give you a simple explanation." Julia said in a voice close to a whisper and smiled. Nikki smiled back. "Sure, but if you don’t want to... I understand, everyone has skeletons in their closet" Nikki giggled. " rest now, mamma will drop by in a bit and I gotta finish some chores. We’ll take a walk when you feel better." Julia stood up and waved to Nikki as she wandered out the door. Nikki waved back and lay back down in bed. Her eyes back on the wooden ceiling, she thought over what she saw again. Her head hurt. Getting kicked in the forehead with a leather boot sure sucks! She thought as she drifted back to sleep.
06/29/99 Tuesday
The green glow of the stereo clock, in the 95 gray porsh, glowed 12:00 midnight in big bold letters. The windows were both rolled down and the breeze mussed Joanne’s hair as she sat at the passenger seat and typed on her laptop. She raised her hand every few moment to brush stray tassels of hair, which fell from her high ponytail, back. Her eyes, green at the moment, were kept focused on the green glow of the computer which was quite similar to the green glow of the stereo. Music played loudly but Joanne ignored it, just as she ignored her new partner. Her mind was on facts about her past. She had to know. This wasn’t the time or place. Her second day out on the streets, after her long vacation. She wished she could focus more on her job, get to know her new partner.. hey he seemed like an OK guy ... but she couldn’t put away her laptop. Page after page she listed through old newspapers looking for the story. The guy at the guy at the driver’s seat tapped his hands on the steering wheel to the beat of the music. His Light brown hair was fuzzy and much like Joanne’s. It also had a weird haircut to it so that almost always it looked different. But truly it was just fuzzy and shoulder length. His eyes were aqua blue. He also seemed to dress allot like Johnny. Same as she he had on light worn out jeans. Except she had on a flannel shirt over a tank while he wore a black T-shirt. If Johnny wasn’t so busy she’d find out they had much in common. After all he was probably the only other detective that didn’t wear business suits all the time. Not of this even crossed Joanne’s mind though, as she kept on clicking enter or snapping at the tab button. "Hey you know, if you don’t like this station I can change it" he said and smiled to Joanne when she looked up. "Station?... oh the music, no.. no it’s fine" she said and brought her eyes back to her laptop. "OK.... well, is it my car then? It sucks don’t it" he said "car’s fine, better then mine. Anyway it don’t matter" she answered not looking up this time "OK! I give up! What is it? I don’t smell do I?" he joked, Joanne looked up again and smiled this time. "I’m sorry, I’ve just been busy. Family stuff you know" she said in a softer tone. "It’s all right.. I wouldn’t really know though, I’m adopted and got no siblings." He shrugged and continued tapping his hands on the wheel. "Me too. It’s just something about my mom, my real mom........I guess I can waist a day more after all I waited years already" Joanne smiled again and shut her laptop. "You don’t remember my name do ya" he faced her again.. "got me there pal. I don’t got a clue!" Joanne confessed "Detective Duncan Mercott" he answered. "I already know you’re Detective. Joanne Santor" he said. "Listen I’m real sorry for ignoring you earlier" Joanne bit her lower lip. "It’s no prob. Jo, hey everyone got a right to know their real parents" he smiled, he seemed real friendly. Nice. She thought. They would get along. "How ‘bout you?" she asked "my mom, ran off with some guy and left me. It’s no big deal. I had a good life though. My foster dad was a cop. I wanted to become one after he was killed in the line of duty" "i’m sorry. Well I was a photographer before. But I guess I always had a heart for this job." Joanne yawned, the big bold letters now said 12:40 AM. "Our shift’s over in twenty min. And hey this is our last time patrolling the case. Chief said we’d be on a real case in two days, if you weren’t listening" "I wasn’t.. so thanks for the news" Johnny grinned, Duncan looked to her again, he raised his brow. "Say, weren’t your eyes green, not brown" he asked "oh, well, I got gray eyes they shift colors due to light meter and temperature control" Joanne gave the usual explanation. It was something she always said when her eyes went nuts and changed in front of others. She read it in some magazine add and thought it’s perfect to explain her hell cat mood ring type eyes. "that’s real neat! Cause mine do the same. It kinda sux though when someone asks what color your eyes are and you’re forced to say ‘I dunno!’.. oh the odd looks I was given, Kodak moments" he confessed and laughed, Joanne laughed too, she didn’t know eyes really did that. He was kewl for a detective. Not the usual old boring dude in a tie and suit.

Aspen sat on the wet sand past the rocks on Manhattan beach. She loved this little place. No one ever went there cause it was blocked off with a fence and warning signs to the people. But that didn’t stop her. It was early morning. She left a note for Lara and left some breakfast in the microwave. She felt she owed Lara for the place to stay, so she made breakfast now and then and cleaned up the place. Even though Lara insisted she shouldn’t. It seemed she was just silently sitting and staring at the waves for a while till she finally grabbed her surf board to catch what few big waves New York had to offer. When she was already far out and turning to catch a wave, she heard a lifeguard whistle and yell. She rolled her eyes to herself and thought about how she hates when they bug her. Just then she caught a glimpse of the lifeguard and saw that he wasn’t yelling to her but that there was someone on the waves. A scooter that flipped over. Aspen paid little attention till she saw a familiar face talking to the lifeguard. A guy, the FBI agent that bugged her a few days ago. And that meant that the one on the scooter must’ve been the woman. Oh god she must’ve tried to get Aspen to talk and tried to reach the beach behind the rocky shores. Aspen jumped sideways off her surf board and under the water. Her eyes scanned under the water quickly. She noted the agent a few yards away, she seemed nearly unconscious. Aspen flipped underwater and made a dash to her, faster then any human could swim. Within seconds she was there. She tugged on Dana’s hand and pulled her upwards. Within pure seconds it was over. Dana was floating near the scooter and Aspen was back on the beach. She climbed the rocks and squeezed through the hole in the fence just in time to catch a glimpse of the lifeguard pulling Dana out and giving her CPR. She seemed to come to. Aspen turned to make a dash for the port and Lara’s yacht when she slammed right into Lara on her bike. "So, where you rushing to Aspen?" Lara asked. "Those stupid agents nearly drowned. Somehow they found me and... hey where you going this early?" Aspen asked "well I thought to drop something of at Jo’s place. But hop on, I can do that tomorrow." Lara smiled and shifted to give Aspen a place to sit. Aspen climbed on the back of the motorcycle and they sped by the ambulance as it rushed Dana to the hospital.
07/02/99 Friday
Lara sat on the yacht railing dressed in a gray sports bra and sweat pants. The sun was setting and casting a rosy glow over the yacht. Just enough light for Lara to see what she was typing. She had been planing her latest artifact hunt for months now, mapping, studying the mythology, and so on. But she still wasn’t sure about it. Hey after all it’s not like in her game where you die and just press reset. She even thought of taking some of the girls with her. Whitchblade could really help out, but firstly she was busy with her own problems and secondly Lara loved doing this on her own. Oh yeah and then we have Aspen. And that whole info stuff for Jo. Looks like Lara’s trip would have to be put on hold. But she still loved mapping it in her spare time. She wanted to show her sketches to Nikki and ask Nikki about the mythological psychology of the place. Nikki always explained these things to Lara since that was Nikki’s specialty. But as Lara dotted and lined the computer map she couldn’t help thinking she had forgotten something. But what could it be?.... Lara’s thoughts were interrupted as Aspen walked onto the top deck, she had on a long T-shirt and black biker shorts. "Hey Lara, working on your project?" Aspen wandered over to the railing and peaked over Lara’s shoulder on the laptop screen. "Yep, so, did you find out how that FBI agent is doing? She seemed pretty beat up yesterday" Lara said and looked up from the screen. "Mmh-hum, I called Jo and Jo ran a check. She’s got a broken rib or something and she’ll have to stay in bed for a while but she’s fine... oh by the way. Jo wonders if you got anything on the case she asked you to check." Aspen said and sat down on the railing by Lara. "Oh right, I got a whole lot of these print outs but haven’t had time to bring ‘em to her. I mean with all the stuff I’m on to.. say Aspen you talked to Nikki lately?" Lara asked and pointed to the stack of print outs. "About Nikki, nope, about the print outs, I’d be happy to drive them over" Aspen smiled "oh really? Aspen you’re dear" Lara looked down to her computer map and typed in the save command. She reached over to a patio table and grabbed a pair of car keys, she tossed them to Aspen. Aspen caught them and walked over to the pile lifting it and walking down the metal steps to the car parked firmly across from the port. Lara was about to return to her work when she gasped and nearly dropped her laptop. "Bloody hell! I totally forgot!" she exclaimed and shut her laptop tossing it onto a soft patio chair. Aspen heard her and stopped, she placed the pile of print outs onto the steps and ran back up "Lara what’s wrong?" she asked as Lara hurried to lock up the yacht windows and get dressed "where you going Lara?" Aspen asked "I totally forgot! My friend from High School, Andromeda Weaver was supposed to come by today, I’ve gotta pick her up at the airport! And I’m bloody two hours late" Lara mumbled as she rushed past Aspen, but Aspen grabbed her hand. "Hold up! If you’re that late there’s no use going!" Aspen said. Andromeda. Nice name. Aspen thought. "My head is just so blown up nowadays!.. but I still should go, she’s prolly waiting" Lara turned to run down the steps. "Lara wait! Watch the papers!!!!........*BANG*.... doh!" Aspen shrugged as Lara tripped over the stack and tumbled to the floor. "Shit" she mumbled and got to her feet. Aspen couldn’t help but chuckle. Just as Lara was about to get on her brand new motorcycle a yellow cab pulled up to a stop right in front of the yacht. Aspen didn’t pay much attention, she just gathered up the papers silently. Lara paused to glance at the cab. The door opened and a tall woman came out. She had pale blond hair pinned up in a bun with tassels on her face and blue eyes and she wore a white tank top and jeans. A buncha gold bracelets and armcuff decorated her hands and a gold cross hung around her neck. "Andromeda!" Lara called and got off her bike and wandered over. "Lara? That you? How’s it been?" Andy smiled. Aspen looked up curious to what the famous Andy looked like. She sensed something different about her but didn’t take much thought to it as she carefully moved down the steps with a pile of papers. "I haven’t seen you in years, I was a bit too busy to go to the reunion" Lara confessed and helped Andy with her baggage "yeah I’ve read, made quite a name for yourself ehh. World renown explorer. Neat title." Andy grabbed a suitcase and a purse and wandered over to the yacht. "Nice yacht too" she added "well thanks. Haven’t heard from you though In H.S. you were majoring in Chemistry and Biology. But then again, In H.S. I was a spoiled brat!" Lara chuckled they passed Aspen and Aspen smiled. "This is my friend Aspen, she’s a marine biologist" Lara said. Aspen looked to Andy and smiled "hi, I gotta run now.. uhm.. later" Aspen passed them and headed to the car. "Nice kid. Well actually I’m a scientist. Expert actually. You know all that secret military research stuff." Andy chuckled. "Yeah, but really what’s new? We were best friends in H.S. we need to catch up don’t you think. Let’s start with ... you got a guy?" Lara dropped the suitcases onto the patio couch and Andy did the same. Aspen’s car drove away in the background. "Oh so, is it the H.S. brat Lara Croft resurfacing?" Andy giggled and collapsed onto a soft patio chair. "Oh yeah!" Lara giggled and pushed her laptop to the floor and collapsed on the chair it previously occupied. "Well.... sorta Lara, there is this guy I was working with on that whole research stuff.." Andy grinned "ohhh!.. what’s his name!?!"
Oky! Enough time without Jeanie!!!! So here I am. You know I’m not gonna talk long. YES I AM the REAL Jeanie. The only reason I cut in, in between two stories is cause I thought of a title for the top story. I mean I know we don’t title them... even though.. hey that’s a good idea, I always got good ones!.... ones what? What was I saying again... oh yeah! I love marshmallow candy balls their so yummy. Whomever invented them needs an award, like an emmy or something. Her wait emmy’s my sister... hehe.... wait does that mean she gotta sleep with the winner. I’d say that’s a sucky prize. Unless you’re like this total nerd. But I mean what’s the difference between a computer nerd and a regular one........ <<Amelia>> JEANIE!!! GET TO THE POINT DAMN YOU!!!!............ oh, sorry. Anyways I title the story above "The side of Lara she never wants you to see" tah-tah! Am I smart or what!.... hehehe..... Everyone says I’m a bimbo just cause I love fashion and got big boobs but.... <<Amelia>> oh god just shoot me!!!!!!!!!!!
Joanne lay on her window couch her laptop glowing a soft green and fallen to the floor. Joanne hadn’t had much rest lately and too much stress. Way too much even for a Hell Cat. All these issues put on pause. And new ones arising. "Johnny, wake up" a hand touched her shoulder. "Uhm..." she opened her eyes slowly and shook her head unaware she dozed off. She found Nick kneeled down near her. "Nick?... wha..." she seemed surprised. She yawned and sat up slowly brushing her hair from her face. "Hi. So.. how’s it been Johnny.. I saw you made friends" he smiled. Joanne was still confused. "Yeah..... Nick, it’s been a month or more now. We gotta get this settled once and for all" she spoke seriously. The lights in her place were off and this whole scene seemed cold and eerie. Nick looked down. "It’s that other one isn’t it Johnny" "no, Nick it’s not him. It’s not you. It’s me.. it’s Hell Cat. I want this to work but..." she paused for a moment to catch her breath. Just then the lights flipped on. Duncan walked in he was carrying a whole buncha stuff. Definition of stuff: papers, junk food, books, case studies. Both Nick and Joanne looked in his direction. "Jo, your door was open and........ oh...." he paused "sorry" he chuckled really embarrassed now. "Johnny? Who’s he" Nick defiantly had a jealous look to him "uhm.. Nick meet..... Duncan,.. my.." Joanne didn’t have a chance to finish her sentence when Nick leapt up "so it’s this one now! What’s with you Johnny!?" he nearly hissed at Duncun, who seemed poorly clueless. "No, Nick you don’t get it!" Johnny yelped. Nick slammed Duncan against the wall. "What the fuck!" Duncun exclaimed "Nick!" Joanne leapt to her feet moment away from extending her claws. "Johnny you’re a whore!" he hissed "what!?" her eyes glowed dark green "You’re CRAZY! AND totally unreasonable!" Joanne yelled. "Reasonable? My ass!" he faced Duncun his fangs showing and his eyes red. He was about to snap Duncan’s neck. Joanne was about to step in and Duncan kicked Nick. Hard too. Nick fell and knocked his head on the floor very hard. Duncun was much stronger then anyone imagined. He was fast to so that Joanne knocked her fist right at him. She meant to hit Nick but instead.... well you get it. At that very moment Aspen wandered through the open door. "Jo? Oh shit... bad time I say!" Aspen covered her mouth. "Aspen?............... ..... wha?" Joanne gasped. Duncan slid down the wall and covered his nose as blood dripped down his chin. Nick pulled up to his feet and hissed again. "And who’s she?" he hissed to Aspen. "Hey! Vamp dude! I ain’t involved!" Aspen exclaimed and stepped back. As she saw it no one was into reason and everyone had glowing red eyes. "Shit, really bad time" she mumbled. She remembered Jo telling her about Nick, Jo’s boyfriend and Lestat, the other vamp boyfriend and Duncun the new partner but all this was just.... really creepy. Joanne extended her claws and jumped at Nick, Nick hissed at Aspen and waked Duncun in the face. Duncun flipped over and mistakenly knocked Jo in the side. Pure mess. Aspen stumbled back and hit into someone. She heard a growl and yelped closing her eyes......... FREEZE........... and everything was silent. Aspen opened her eyes. It was quiet. Too quiet. She whirled around and found herself facing Lestat. Except he looked different. She watched him a few moment and he didn’t blink, move, react nothing. "What the fuck?" she peeked into the apartment. The others seemed the same... frozen in whatever they were doing. Like time stopped. She heard something from behind her again and gasped thinking now what? "Hey! Cool it Aspy!" Amelia wandered out chewing on something. She wore a pair of ripped jeans, a T-shirt and had her hair in a braid. "Oh, Amelia..." Aspen takes a sigh of relief. "Yep. This is a mess. They all need to cool off! I wanted to hose them but.... that’d bee too much mess for this cute little apt." Amelia smiled and wandered in plopping down on a chair. "Well... now what? How long they gonna be like this?" Aspen asked eyeing them curiously. "Till I think of how to cool em off... in the meanwhile, sit! Talk!.... here have a pop-tart!" Amelia smiled and tossed Aspen a cinnamon pop-tart. Aspen caught it and sat down. "Thanks, say, Amy things are never simple ‘round here are they?" she bit into the pop-tart, Amelia shook her head "nope! Never! But you get used to it" she smiled and bit her own pop-tart. "You know we need some milk! Oh and I could go for a toast... I know it’s dinner time but... eh, who cares!" she added "yeah, you know I could go for some toast too!" Aspen smiled.
07/04/99 Sunday
Lara sat at the patio table and chewed on some cereal. It was early morning and very peaceful too, quite unlike the last few hectic days. Aspen walked onto the deck with some pancakes and pop-tarts. She put all the food on the table. "You know Aspen, you don’t have to cook. You’re here to stay as a friend." Lara said but she couldn’t help thinking that Aspen sure does cook good. "Nah, it’s OK. I don’t mind" Aspen smiled and Lara didn’t argue. "Where’s your friend Andy?" Aspen added as she sat down at the table. "I guess she’s still sleeping, we had fun yesterday. You know water scooter and stuff, say where were you all day?" Lara asked and grabbed some pop-tarts. "Oh I went to Jo’s and well there was a tiny little misunderstanding there." Aspen grinned "misunderstanding?" "well, Jo’s boyfriends and her partner sorta went to punch each other’s light’s out. Amy had to get involved." Aspen explained. "say, I told Amelia about Andy and she wondered how you knew her. She was a child prodigy or something right? She never went to your H.S." Aspen pointed out. Lara was about to speak when Andromeda walked out onto the deck. She had on a plain white tank top and a light blue short skirt. Her hair up as before. "I did go to H.S. for a year before I was transferred. Except I was a senior at fourteen and Lara was a sophomore that year. Kids were always teasing me and she stood in. That’s actually how we became friends." Andy explained and wandered over to a chair grabbing a pop tart as well. Lara was about to say something again when Aspen cut in. "Say don’t you have to go back to whatever project you were working on?" Aspen asked "I have a vacation... anymore questions?" Andy answered sensing that Aspen didn’t like her at all. Lara gave Aspen an odd look and was about to talk when "yeah.. who’s Lucien? You said his name in your sleep last night" Aspen raised a brow at the look Andy was giving her. Lara finally cut in. "Would you stop this already! Andy on her vacation, and why in bloody hell are you asking so many questions Asp. Lucien is her partner on another project" Lara exclaimed. "OK, sorry. Just curious. Nevermind" Aspen mumbled and went back to her breakfast. Andy shook her head and didn’t even give Aspen another thought. Lara watched the two totally confused and knowing their both hiding something. But what?
