Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suddenly the smile disappeared on JR's face. He let out a quiet growl.

"Perhaps Jack didn't tell you everything? About his alliance? Maybe it's faulty memory but... he did mention he was a Hunter... right? Oh wait... he did, although he was rather vague about it. He said he was a guardian... which means he's basically a creature patrol cop. Luckily for you he has no interest in hurting you."

JR let go of Astarte. He let out a quiet growl.

"So I can't go there," he said. "We'd have to try somewhere else."

"Believe it or not, he's... how should we say... sympathetic," JR said, almost with a hint of bitterness. "He uses death as a last resort. You be surprised at how man other creatures that go bumb in the night he hasn't killed."

What sounded like a compliment was more or less seething words of hate towards Jack. JR always wanted a fresh kill when he could get one. He knew that if Jack joined the vamps, things would be a bit different.

"You're right," he said with a grin. "We are opposites. The result of a curse for drinking a vampire's blood before he could even be bitten. He is Yin and I am Yang. He is blessed, I am the damned. He protects those who are innocent... whereas I end those whose who deserve more than death."

JR slowly approached Astarte, a twisted grin plastered on his face.

"Amazing how someone with such good intentions harvests a demon inside of him, don't you think?"

JR looked to the side. He grunted quietly as he dipped his head. Jack was trying to get control again. He growled quietly. He turned his head to look at her.

"Perhaps... we should let Jack himself tell why?"

JR nodded. He growled quietly as he shook his head. Soon, Jack gained control again. He gasped out as his head snapped back. His teeth were back to nromal and his eyes were hazel once again. He shook his head and groaned quietly.

"Jesus I hate that!" he said.

He looked over at Astarte. He smilled nervously.

"Well... I see you got aquainted with JR."

Jack scratched the back of his head, somewhat nervous with what had happened. He never let JR out that long on his own free will. It felt odd. He groaned quietly.

"Well... I suppose I should tell you how JR... came to be, and how I got the curse in the first place," he said.

Jack looked over at Astarte.

"Of course."

Jack looked around, making sure everything was really.

"I admit it: I got attacked by a vampire. The guy who did it took my by surprise during a night walk. Uh... needed some time alone. Family issues. Anyway, back to the point. You see... I wasn't exactly the type to go down easily. I struggled for a good while with the guy. During the fight... I can't remember exactly what happened... but I made him bleed. That blood fell into my mouth, and for some reason or another I swallowed it. That was what started it all. In an instant, I lost it. I ended up turning the tables. I blacked out for a good while. When I came to... I found the vamp on the side. He was completely drained. He was as dry as a ten year old corpse. Blood was on my mouth. Needless to say..."

Jack groaned quietly as he scratched the back of his ear. He let out a quiet sigh.

"Well, the rest is pretty self explanatory."

Jack chuckled quietlyas he looked at Astarte.

"A nervous tick I suppose."
