Barnabas then realized what this person was talking about! It was his failed attempt at going back in time to 1897 and preventing Chris Jennings from being cursed as a Werewolf! Barnabas then spoke to the strange man in front of him.
"I know what you're talking about. Julia, remember I had just returned from 1897 from trying to prevent Quentin from dying, only to become cursed as a Werewolf." Barnabas reminded both her and Willie.
"I remember Barnabas. It's too bad that your plan didn't work though since Chris is still cursed." Julia said with sadness in her voice.
"I don' understan'. Wha's dis hav' ta do wit wha' he's talking about?" Willie wanted to know.
"It has to do with his body being in a cave not too far from here, but he's still standing here! That's what it has to do with it!" Brian said with some anger in his voice.
"It was Angelique that had removed my curse in 1897 to prevent people from thinking that I was a vampire and created a double that had removed my curse. Only when I returned to this time, I was cursed again. I cannot seem to escape this curse. There has to be a way to remove it." Barnabas said with determination.
"Barnabas, just remember that I am working on a new serum that will hopefully work so you can become human again. Now just relax and let's find out what this young man wants with you." Julia said with a smile on her face.
Barnabas nodded, knowing that she was the voice of reason whenever he felt that there was a no win situation that was before him. He then looked up at the strange, and noticed that there was something about him that looked familiar.
"Do I know you from somewhere? You look like…" Barnabas started to say to him.
"…my mother. You may remember her. Her name was Gwen Collins. I'm her son Brian." He told everyone.
Both Julia and Willie saw the look on Barnabas's face, and they knew that he knew what this Brian was talking about! Barnabas then developed an embarrassed look on his face knowing that he was going to come clean about this now!
"It was the year 1795 when I was first cursed. I had silently gone into the village and was looking for a person to feed off of. I saw this gentle young woman, and I knew I could not kill her like the others I had done. And don't look at me like that Julia! I still loved Josette, but for some reason, I had to be with her as well!" Barnabas said while getting the 'Look' from Julia.
"I's always knew youse were a playa Barnabas." Willie said before getting looks from both Julia and Barnabas.
Brian just shook his head and let Barnabas continued with his story.
"I saw her, and feel in love with her as well. I took her to private places and told her many stories about Martinique and other places that I've been to. Then one night, I bit her as we were…"
"We don't need to hear the graphic stuff now! Just continue on about my mother." Brian told Barnabas.
"She had told me that she was pregnant, and was afraid of what would happen to her. I had my father give her save passage to hopefully find help in the Vatican since my father and I had read about a secret society that would do such things. Apparently it was true then since you're here. What happened to your mother?" Barnabas wanted to know.
"She died not too long after giving birth to me. I never had the chance to know her. And it's your fault, DAD, would you prefer FATHER?!" Brian said in an angry voice.
"So whys are you her' fer?" Willie asked.
"I was sent by both the Vampire High Council and the Vatican to see if he would either come to Rome and be protected by the Vampire High Council or stay here and be protected by me. The choice is your's, but if you decide on neither, then I would have no choice but to destroy you!" Brian said while pulling out his sword that he had concealed in his duster jacket.
"He's not kiddin' Barnabas! He lifted me off da groun' wit just one hand! An' Julia's cross didn' work on him either!" Willie said in a shaky voice while looking at Brian.
Brian then revealed his fangs to Barnabas as well to show that Barnabas had to make his mind up right away! Barnabas, Julia, and Willie gulped at the sight before them!
"How is it that my cross didn't work on you? You mentioned that it only worked on vampires, but here you are showing fangs like one." Julia said to Brian.
"That's because I'm a Dhamphir, or in simpler terms, a Daywalker. I have all the abilities of a vampire, but not their weakness's. That's why your cross didn't' work on me. Now what's your decision DAD?!" Brian wanted to know.
"My choice is to…"
