She laughed slightly. "Some have weaker stomachs then others."

Nero genuinly smiled at that. "True, ture... But it was pretty funny, though. I mean, if I ever were to go trick-or-treating... I'd be able to take the whole bowl of candy when the person was knocked out."

She smiled. "That's actually a wonderful idea. You could go to every house and gets tons of candy."

His smile faded away as soon as it had appeared. "Well, it would be a good idea, but I don't like traveling outside at night. In fact, I don't really like being in the dark of any kind."

She looked at him. "Why?" she questioned simply. Why wasn't she taunting him already?

He looked a little uneasy before answering. "Well... You seem pretty nice, so I guess I'll tell you... See, it has to do with when I got these burns. I was about ten when it happeend. My parents used to be explorers of sorts. Retired now, though. We were in Egypt, and I had gone into the tomb, even though they told me not to. I was ten, and curious. They were absorbed in their work at the time so I was able to slip away. After going inside, the torch that I had with me went out. I got turned around and was practiclly blind. I stumbled on something, and there was a huge crashing sound. At first it felt like I was surrounded by water, but it burnt. It was probably some kind of acid... Anyway, It filled the whole room. I was compeatly submerged. And... Then I was outside." There was a prett big gap between his being submerged in acid and being back outside.

"How'd you get outside?" she pressed, obviously quite interested.

Nero cleared his throat and looked off somewhere. He then tried to whistle, but didn't know how, so it came out very messed up.

She tried again, thinking maybe he hadn't heard her. "How did you get out?"

His whistling died down, and he bit his lower lip. "I'm... Not supposed to say."

"Why?" she asked. He had already peaked her curiousity, he wasn't about to leave her hanging completely by any means now.

He just shook his head a little. Somewhere inside of him an all too familiar voice told him to keep quiet. Already he could feel the shadows pressing in on him... But even if he wasn't too scared to tell her, how would she react? Not well, of course. Not too many people would be relaxed about hearing what really happened. After being submerged, it turned out that he had broken somehting that had been sealing back a demon of sorts, named Yahtne. He promised to spare Nero his life under the condition of eternal servitude. He had agreed, clearly, but anytime he didn't do what he was told then Yahtne made the burns feel just as horrible as when they had been put there. They were a marking or sorts, like when people brand a cow. Every night Yahtne would speak to him ,and occationally make him do somehting that he really didn't want to do.

Jade sighed and looked out the window. She should bully the answer out of him, she really should. That was the way of the Malfoy's after all but she just wasn't in the mood to be mean, even though that was one reaction that ran through her veins like her own blood.

Nero shook his headagain. "I'm really sorry... But, I really can't tell you. Or at least, I wouldn't be able to unless you made a pretty bad agreement."

Now she was even more interested as she turned her head back to face him. "What do you men by a 'bad agreement'?" she asked, wanting to know what she was getting into before agreeing to anything.
