Several hours and a grumpy Alex later, Chloe pulled into a gas station and went inside to find him something sweet to shut him up. They only had another hour before they hit New Haven and she went to the address her godfather had given her as she walked out the door, but Alex seemed to be unwilling to sit in the car for too long.

She came outside with drinks and some chips to find him walking around the car like he was examining it. “Alex, you asshole, get back in the car.”

“I just needed to walk a little while, Chloe. You know how my legs get when I sit for too long. I think it’s the dragon in me. I just want to run free.”

“Always blaming your ADHD on your heritage. Get in the car. We have less than an hour and want to get to this address before business hours are over with. NOW!” Chloe snapped her fingers and a hose swung up and hit him in the ass. She hadn’t meant for it to actually happen, but shrugged as he glared at her. “Sorry. Can’t really control that, can I?”

She slid into the driver’s seat and cranked the car as he slid in. She pulled out of the parking lot before he had even closed the door and zoomed toward the large city just ahead of her. She had a mission and she was more than willing to see it through to the end, even if she had to ditch Alex somewhere beforehand.

An hour later, as they were pulling into New Haven, Alex took the address from her and started to look at street signs. He pointed out a large building in the farthest part of the city and shrugged. “It says that’s it’s close to one of the tallest buildings in the city. That’s the biggest building I see.”

Chloe nodded and started to head to that building, parking out front, and then getting out to look around for the address. It didn’t take her long to figure out that Nia had been a little funny in that the tall building she had spoken about, was the address on the paper.

“Bryar Enterprises.” Alex read the sign above the door out loud and looked at Chloe, giving her the lead. He was never really one to jump into other people’s business, so he would merely follow his cousin as best as he could.

Chloe nodded and headed into the office building, up to the reception desk. “Hi! I don’t really know who to talk to, but my godmother, Virginia Iero, told me that I could get some help with a slight problem I was having here.”

The male receptionist didn’t look up until he heard Nia’s name. He smiled when he spotted Chloe and shook his head. “By the saints above! I never thought I would live to see this day. You’re Persephone and Bob’s baby girl, aren’t you?”

“Yes, sir. I’m Chloe Bryar. You knew my parents?”

“Yes, sweetheart, I did. I was even there when you were born. Oh, you have her eyes! Oh my Gucci! I forgot to introduce myself! I’m William Valentine. You can call me Bill. I was once your mother’s roommate, Chloe.” He noticed Alex and looked him up and down, smiling. “If you were shorter, I’d say that you were Nia’s son.”

“I am Nia’s son, sir. Alexander Iero. Alex for short.” He shook Bill’s hand and nodded, though he turned all attention to Chloe. It was her show after all.

“You are a tall one, Alex. Anyway! You can with questions, Miss Chloe, allow me to answer them.” He came out from behind the reception desk and put up a sign that stated the office was closing. “We’ll start with Bryar Enterprises itself. Your mother started this company years before you were born. It had some long Italian name, we won’t go into that. Now, I pretend to be a receptionist, but am really the head honcho around here. Don’t like them to know I’m watching them.”

He winked and pushed the button on the elevator, waiting for it to descend. Chloe didn’t know why, but she liked Bill. He seemed like just the person Frank and Nia had told her that her parents would have talked with.

As they stepped into the elevator, Bill continued to talk. “Let’s see. Um, you inherited this place when you turned sixteen, but due to a clause in both of your parents’ wills, you could only start working here when you showed interest in the place or walked in off the streets. You are curious, no?”

“Yes, I’m curious. I know nothing about my past and without that, how am I to get to know my future?”

“Very well spoken, Chloe.” Bill smiled at the thought that she was smart and shook his head. “Sorry. I was just thinking about how that was something your mother would have said. Let’s continue on topic.”

The doors to the elevators opened and they stepped out into a long hall. Bill took a card from his pocket and slid it into the slot, punching in a code. The door opened and he escorted them into the hallway beyond. “Now this hall leads to the labs and the testing grounds. Your mother was kind of paranoid, Chloe, so we’re going to have to ask you to do a test that she designed just for you.”

“Okay.” Though a little apprehensive, Chloe was more than willing to do anything that would get her to know about where she came from. “What kind of test?”

“I’m not at liberty to tell you, Chloe. It’s to be unexpected.” Bill slid the card through another slot on a door, this one leading into a large room. “After you, Miss Chloe.”

She nodded and walked into the room, gasping as he closed the door on her. Alex shoved Bill against the wall when he closed the door and growled at him. “Let her out.”

“I can’t, Alex. It is her test. If I let her out now, I will not be allowed to tell her anything.” He shoved the younger boy off him and pulled a gun as if from nowhere, pointing it at Alex’s head. “Don’t think because I’m gay that I’m weak, young Mr. Iero. I know what I’m doing.”

Pushing a button on the wall and trying to ignore Chloe’s beating on the door, Bill gestured for Alex to go into the next room where they would watch the test. Chloe spotted them as they went into the other room and screamed in frustration at Bill. Why would he try to help and then do this?

She didn’t have time to try to think about that as something came flying at her. She ducked and it hit the wall behind her. She knew without thinking about it that it wasn’t human and she looked around to find something, anything to help her against it. It moved at her again and she kicked it square in the chest, sending it flying against the back wall.

She got a better view of it and frowned. It has translucent skin, fangs, pointed ears, and solid brown eyes. There was a feel of evil to it and Chloe knew that it was a vampire. She still was not sure how she knew, but she knew.

As it regained its composure, she moved swiftly to the far side of the room and found a pipe in the wall. It looked like it belonged to the heating system, but she needed a weapon and she needed one fast. She grabbed the pipe and yanked with all the supernatural strength she possessed and pulled it from the wall, feeling the room with steam. This freaked Bill and Alex out because they could no longer see anything in the room.

Chloe closed her eyes, pipe in hand, and listened to the sound of the hissing steam, her steady breathing, and found another sound in the mist. She moved faster than she should have been able to and caught the vampire in his heart. He screamed and she shoved him hard into the glass of the room Bill and Alex were in, shattering it.

“What the fuck was that about, Bill?” She jumped from the ledge of the room and moved toward Bill, her eyes already going a solid green. She shoved him against the wall and smiled, breaking a piece of pipe off the one in the dead vampire with her spare hand. “And don’t lie to me this time.”

“It was your mother’s test, Chloe. She made sure that it was a test only you could pass.” He was staring, not at her, but at the pipe in her hand, as if afraid that she would actually use it. Her mother would have shown no mercy and pierced itself through him without a second thought.

Chloe looked at him and pulled back, dropping the pipe as her eyes found Alex. “Is he telling the truth, Alex?”

“That’s what he told me when he brought me in here, Chlo.” Alex leaned against the wall like there was nothing wrong with her threatening a guy with a sharp pipe. After all, she had just stuck a vampire through the chest. And everyone knew that there were no more vampires.

“Well have I passed, Bill?”

“Yes, Chloe, you have. Any questions you have can and will be answered.”

“What am I?” Chloe asked the questions before he had even finished talking. She knew it was the one thing she had always wanted to know and no one would answer for her. Now that she had the power to get the answer to that question, she would.

“In all honesty, Chloe, we’re not really sure. When you were conceived, you mother was in the process of turning into a vampire, which explains some of the abilities you showed in that room. Your father was a fallen angel though.” Bill leaned against the wall and sighed. “Your mother was killed shortly after your conception, but refused to give you up, so they sent her back as a fallen angel, like your father. We’re not really sure how to classify you.”

Chloe could feel the anger welling up inside her. She grabbed the table beside them and through it out the broken window into the far wall of the room she had just escaped from. It hit the wall and kept going, knocking the wall over. A head popped out and looked at the wreckage, shaking his head. “Bill, I told you it was a bad idea to put the training room beside the research department. How are any of the historians over here going to get anything done if you destroy half the books we have?” The guy looked at Alex as he was leaning over the rail and gestured to him. “Did he do this?”

Bill stood and shook his head, glancing at Chloe. “No, Spencer, it was her.” He pointed to Chloe and then turned back to the guy called Spencer. “This is Chloe Bryar. Chloe, Spencer Smith, our local historian. He was going to be one of the guys who helped you learn about your parents, but after the wall incident …”

“I’ll still help, Bill, but you’re going to have to move my department. I am not dealing with the hole in the wall, again.” He disappeared around the corner as soon as he said it.

Chloe was not really thinking it would be a good idea for the mysterious little historian to help her, seeing as he seen more concerned about his books, but she would take anything right now. “Um, sorry?”

She looked at Bill and he shrugged, opening the door and escorting both her and Alex out. “Don’t worry about Spencer. He’s kind of eccentric. He’ll be able to tell you what happened to your parents when you were five. All the details of their disappearance. I don’t know it myself, but he’s studied it extensively.”

Chloe nodded and went through the door that Bill opened for her, making sure that both Alex and Bill were behind her. She spotted the Spencer dude in a corner playing video games and frowned. He was supposed to be the historian and he couldn’t have been much older than herself or Alex.

He was tall, a little over six feet, with short light brown hair and pale blue eyes. He was thin with an intense stare that threatened to send shivers going up and down Chloe’s spine. She didn’t know why, but there was something about him that scared her.

“Spencer, get off your damned games and give this girl the answers she came over here for.” Bill crossed his arms and waited for the younger guy to turn the TV off and spin in the chair to look at Chloe.

Chloe didn’t think he would find anything of interest in staring at her. She was barely five foot eight with golden blonde hair, green eyes, and a thin frame. She was pretty, yes, but not in any way that people would pay too much attention to her. Yet Spencer Smith sat and stared at her for nearly ten minutes before talking.

“Your mother, father, two uncles, and godfather were fighting the last legion of vampires. Your uncles were taken out quickly, being seen as the weakest links. Next, they went for your godfather, but he was stronger than they thought and managed to survive their attacks, killing many of their people. Your father was hit from all sides and called to God for help and was sent back into heaven, his time on earth being over. Your mother was pierced through the heart and begged God to take her as well. She was taken and you were left in the care of Frank and Virginia Iero where you have been ever since.”

He stopped and looked at Bill, asking with his eyes if he was done. Bill shook his head and turned. “Answer her questions, Spencer. Don’t be an ass about it either. By the way, she’s going to be staying her in mother’s apartment on the forty first floor so show her where that is when you’re done.”

The door closed behind Bill and Chloe turned back to look at Spencer, fear running through her at the stare he was giving her, like he was looking into her soul. “What do you want to know, Miss Bryar?”

“What am I? How do I control my abilities? What will happen to me in life?” Chloe asked the three questions that caused her to worry everyday. If he could answer them, she would be eternally grateful.

“You are a vampire and fallen angel half breed. It is something no one has ever seen before so you’ll have to learn to control your abilities on your own. Yet with the two unknown combinations, you have developed other abilities that had never been seen. Again, you’ll have to learn on your own. As for what will happen to you in life, that’s up to you. You’re future is not set, so you must develop it.” He stood and headed to the door. “Now let me show you the apartment. It has three bedrooms and I live in one. Your … friend can have the other and you will stay in your parents’ room.”

He walked out the door, Chloe and Alex scattering to keep up. He was a curious one. In all the time they had spend in that room he had answered all her questions and not opened a single book. It raised so many more questions in her mind, all of them about him. “You live in the apartment too?”

“Yes.” No explanation, just a simple answer.

Again, Chloe’s natural curiosity was raised. She could feel Alex beside her telling her to leave it be, but she found herself talking anyway. “Why do you live there? Don’t you have a home to go back to?”

“My father disappeared before he found out my mother was pregnant and my mother died three years ago. This is the only place I have where no one considers me weird.”

“Why would anyone consider you weird?”

“I know the first thing you thought of as soon as I started answering the questions was the fact that I never once picked up a book. I see things when I look at people. I knew what you wanted to know and found out about your parents for you. That’s what you wanted, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, and thank you.” He just because more of a curiosity to her as he continued to speak. At least now Alex and her both knew that it wasn’t just her, him, and his parents with abilities anymore. And that vampire. Were there others like him? “Um, Mr. Smith?”

“Call me Spencer. What?”

“That vampire I killed. Are there others like him out there? I mean, I was always taught that there were no more.”

“There are hundreds of thousands like him out there. They’ve only recently began to show up.” He stepped out of the elevator as the doors opened and allowed her to follow him through the corridors, getting weird looks from those left after work. He walked through an office that looked like it hadn’t been used in years, and pushed one of the books.

The bookcase pushed out and revealed another elevator. He stepped into it with Chloe and Alex close behind, and pushed the button in it. The doors opened again a second later and revealed a large living room and kitchen with doors off to every side. He gestured to the door directly in front of him. “That’s your room, Miss Bryar. And Mr. Iero, you’ll be in here.”

He opened a door off to the side right side of the elevator. He pointed the bathroom out for Alex, explained to Chloe that her room had it’s own bathroom, and then disappeared into his room off to the left of the elevator.

“What an asshole …” The remark was typically Alex.

Chloe shook her head and handed Alex the car keys. “Go get our bags. And don’t be mean. I think he’s just a little … hidden. Like us. He can’t be who he truly is without thinking people to judge him.” She sighed and shook her head. “Just go get the bags.”

Alex shrugged and disappeared into the elevator, leaving Chloe alone in the living room. She opened her new bedroom door and smiled at the interior. She recognized the symbols on the walls as those of protection against those that would harm and put her hand against one. She felt her mother there a split second before the wall grabbed her hand, pulling it into the spell.

At first, she was calm, knowing that it was about to happen, but even when she felt it take some of her blood to make sure she was the one to protect, it didn’t let go. She screamed and heard Spencer’s door open, seeing her struggle against the wall. “The spell has me.”

She saw him move behind her and felt his arms go around her waist, his voice coming close in her ear. “This may hurt.” He pulled and she went flying from the wall, landing on him.

He crawled out from under her and grabbed her hand, nodding at the mark there. “It recognized you are your mother’s daughter and wanted to bask in your power. You’ll be fine. It won’t do it again.” He wrapped her hand up and then turned to her. “Are you alright, Miss Bryar?”

“Chloe. It’s Chloe.” She corrected him before she could stop herself and sat up. “I think I’m okay. A little shocked it all.”

He nodded and helped her up, moving her to the bed. He checked her pupils and stayed kneeling in front of her for a minute. “I think you’re going to be fine. You will just need to get something to eat and sleep it off.”

He got up to leave and she grabbed his hand. “Thank you, Spencer. And just so you know, you don’t have to hide from us. Alex and I know more than most what it’s like to be different.”

He shrugged her off and shook his head. “Not this different, Chloe.” He disappeared back into his room and left Chloe sitting on her bed, staring after him.

Even when Alex came back and made her go to bed after finding out what happened, she couldn’t help thinking about just how different Spencer really was.
