"No if I didn't flirt so much I would've noticed quickly that he wasn't good and that he was the person you warned me about... I was also being stupid in the fact that I randomly walked over to his house which of course I know now isn't really his house. Still, I have no common sense." I said softly. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was trying to control myself but I just couldn't...

"This isn't your fault," I said firmly. "He's a sadistic psychopath, and he's a master manipulator. He had me fooled as well, for a very long time... a number of years, in fact." I padded lightly up to her front door and knocked hesitantly on the door.

{Crystal} For a while now I had been trying to convince myself that I was just being paranoid about my kids being out so late, especially Venus. When I smelled blood, her, and a vampire and then heard a knock at the door I was so very afraid of what had happened. I walked cautiously over to the door. I opened it to find my daughter covered in blood and in the arms of a vampire. I just covered my mouth with my hand my eyes shining with horror. "What happened...?" I asked softly, holding back tears.

I sighed. "It's a very long story. I'll explain once I'm sure she'll live," I said softly, tilting my head to one side.

I nodded softly and allowed him to come in. I grabbed some blood, bandages, and alcohol wipes. "Here give her some blood while I take care of her wounds." I said softly to him when he set her down on the couch. I lifted her up to see the whip marks on her back. I cringed and wanted to cry. My daughter is beginning to go through the life I had. I ignored my pain and just continued to clean her. She winced from the pain. "I'm sorry honey. I know it hurts..." I said as I tried to clean her as well as I could without hurting her. I was trying to be as gentle as I could. "This would be a lot easier if we knew who her soul mate is... She'd heal a whole lot faster too..." I said softly. I looked at my daughter quickly. "Here try something. In your head call out 'Hello, is anyone there?' See who answers." I said. She gave me a look of confusion. "Just do it okay? You've got to trust me." I said softly.
{Venus} I felt this was completely ridiculous. In my thoughts I called out, "Hello, is anyone there?" I then felt my mind enter another's. It was Michael's. I looked up at him in shock. "You're my soul mate...." I thought to him.

My eyes widened, but not in real surprise. Makes sense, I thought back quietly as I sat down beside her and cradled her head in my lap. So she was my soulmate. I winced as I remembered Gabriel - he'd nearly killed her, and that was just because I cared for her. He could never know...

I looked to my mother. "We're soul mates. How does this help?" I asked softly. "When you drink some of his blood you'll heal. You only need to drink a little, but it'll help you a lot more than what we're doing will." she said to me softly. I looked at him to see his expression. "Is that okay with you...?" I asked softly. I wasn't going to take his blood without permission.

"It's my fault this happened. It's only right," I said quietly, propping myself up. I raised my chin slightly, leaving my neck exposed.

I slowly leaned towards his neck. "I really hate doing this.." I said softly. I knew I had no choice though. If I didn't he would force me so I leaned forward and bit into his neck. I only took enough blood to where I knew it would help me. I finished and wipe whatever blood was on my lips away. "I really really hate that I had to do that." I said hugging him gently.

I smiled. "Don't worry about it, sweetheart," I whispered as I pulled her against me. "I'm glad I could actually do something to help you." I wrapped one arm around her and glanced up at her mother. "I suppose you want to know what happened?"

She nodded softly. "I'd just rather be aware. I want to help as much as I can because I don't want her life ending up like mine because it seems to already be heading in that direction..." I said calmly to him.

I sighed and leaned back, wrapping my arm around Venus's waist and gently pulling her close to me. "The whole reason I came here was to escape someone... my half-brother, Gabriel." I stiffened automatically as I thought of him, then forced myself to relax as I continued. "Strangely, the two of us were actually very close for most of our lives, but he... well, he changed. He began to turn darker and colder. When he was seventeen and I was fifteen, he... killed our adoptive parents... he tried to convince me to come with him, but I fled from him and I came here. It's been so many years since I'd seen him... I'd almost started to convince myself I got away after all." I took a deep, somewhat tremulous breath as I reached the part I hated most, then pulled Venus closer to me. My eyes narrowed slightly. "He finally tracked me down, rather out of boredom or for his own sadistic means, I don't really know. He wants to make me suffer, so he targeted her." I tilted my head to indicate Venus. "He manipulated her, tricked her, and drew her in, gave her the address of some random house, and when she went there, he... well, you saw. He tortured her until I followed her screams." I looked away. "It was my fault," I whispered.

I stared at him in plain horror the whole time and then I looked at her. My eyes were filled with tears that wanted to fall but wouldn't. I caught something on her neck and pulled back her hair. "He bit you...?" I asked softly. I hated how all of the things that happened to me could happen to her. I was going to have to tell her about every thing that had happened to me. She needed to know and Roxanne might need to know as well, so if I could get her to listen to me then I would tell her as well.

"Among other things," I murmured, studying her face carefully.

"He kissed me, slapped me, bit me and whipped me..." Venus said softly. I felt it all paining me. "Here let me leave you two to talk...I'll be upstairs if you need me. I want to talk to you and your sister later okay?" I said as I got up and headed towards the stairs. "Okay mom." she said and smiled lightly. It was just how I used to be. I knew behind that smile was nothing but pain and depression. It hurt me so much. I turned and went upstairs and as soon as I was in my room I sat on the bed and cried softly.
{Venus} As soon as I saw her leave I turned to him and said "So what are we gonna do about Gabriel...?"
