Author's Note: This only took a while because of the huge writer's block I had this summer, but now I'm back into the swing of things and will update faster and sooner. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Kidnapped!
Erin walked over to the refrigerator in their new apartment. She sighed as she grabbed the newly bought milk out of the fridge and onto the poorly crafted table. She poured the milk into the bowl of cereal and listened to it snap, crackle, and pop. Her brother was looking out the window dreamily. He had been doing that a lot since the two had moved in. Erin sighed as she went to put the milk away again. She wasn't in any hurry for Peter Petrelli to come, but she hated waiting. She was the least patient person she knew. Often charging straight into a dangerous situation without a thought."Glen, your cereal is ready!" She shouted to her brother. Glen turned to look at his sister than at the bowl. He walked over slowly to sit and eat.
Erin never understood how her brother could just stand around day dreaming like he did. Erin was always so head strong and determined, never wishing for things to happen, but making them happen. Like the apartment. She had wanted and had gotten it. She imagined Peter would be the same.
Glen munched on the cereal slowly. He dipped his spoon in and out of the bowl with a solemn expression. Erin sighed wondering what the heck Glen was thinking about. A knock came at the door. She turned to look at the door. She went toward it looking at her brother still undisturbed.
"Hi." The blonde haired girl greeted Erin as she opened the door. Erin eyed the girl's baggy jeans and tight fitting pink T-shirt. She had an awfully big grin on as she looked at Erin.
"And you are?" Erin asked rudely to the girl raising a slender black eyebrow. The girl's smile faded.
"Claire." The girl told her firmly.
"Claire Bennett?" Glen called. Erin turned to her brother to see him interested. Of course he'd be interested in a teenage girl appearing on their doorstep.
"Yeah," Claire explained with a smile peeking in at Glen. "Dr. Suresh told you about me, right?" Glen gave Claire a smile.
"Sure," Erin said looking between Glen and Claire. "You're like us, so come join the party." Erin held the door open for Claire to enter. Claire entered gratefully looking at Glen, milk dripping done his chin. Erin rolled her eyes closing the door.
"What can we do for you Miss Bennett?" Erin asked walking toward the table where her brother sat.
"I just wanted to come over and say hi." Claire said realizing she wasn't sure what she was doing here. Her eyes gazed over Erin. Her right hand was wrapped in a white bandage, the blood seeping through. Erin rubbed the wound and Claire's eyes flicked away from it.
"Well, you said hi." Erin mumbled with a roll of her eyes. Glen glared at her and they had one of their silent conversations with non-stop glaring. Claire just stood there and watched. She wondered if this is what other people saw when she and her brother, Lyle had their moments.
"I just want you to know that I'm happy someone is actually looking for Peter." Claire blurted out. The two siblings jerked their head to look at her. "And I want you to know you're not alone."
"Yeah, we heard your special too." Erin's voice sounded disappointed and hate filled. The young girl wondered what the young woman had against her.
"Why are you being such a bitch?!" Glen shouted to his sister. She merely huffed. Glen got up rather quickly wiping the milk from his chin. He gave Claire a cute smile. "Sorry about my sister. She's just a little impatient. Waiting isn't her thing." Claire smiled back at Glen. He gestured her to come sit down. She did and the two sat side by side. Claire felt incredibly uncomfortable as Glen leaned back on his own chair stirring the soggy cereal around.
"I'm Glen and my sister, Erin and I are indeed looking for Peter Petrelli, which I guess you are too." Glen explained to Claire. She smiled and nodded. The two looked at each other for a long while. Erin looked at Claire and her brother sharing an awkward moment as they fidgeted, neither one wanting to say anything.
"I just want to ask you something," Claire choked nervously. Erin turned to look at Claire curiously. Glen did the same. "Why are you looking for Peter anyway?"
"Well, our mother sent us on a mission before she died to find Peter." Glen explained trying so hard not to sound stupid. Claire looked at him confused.
"What were you supposed to do when you found him?" Claire asked.
Erin stared at Claire wide eyed. Catherine Summers had only told them to find Peter. That when they found him everything would be clear.
"We just do what our mom says." Erin stated before Glen could open his mouth. "This was her last wish before she died and I plan on fulfilling it." Erin gritted her teeth as the two teens stared at her. She loved her mother. She was a good daughter minus the occasional fits of rebellion. When her mother told her to do something, she would eventually do it. No matter what the cost.
"Our mother could locate others with powers." Glen told Claire. "That was her gift."
"So, what's your gift?" Claire asked the boy. Erin rolled her eyes as Glen stood up quickly.
He flexed his scrawny arms outward. White yellow energy crackled through the air. The lightening snapped around his arms shining in his eyes. Claire watched amazed.
"I can create electricity and manipulate it." Glen explained as the yellow white beams sparked on his arms. He slowly put his arms to his side and the electricity disappeared.
"That is so cool!" Claire shouted. Glen smiled at Claire's reaction. Erin sighed scratching her head. Everyone always thought her brother's power was better than hers.
"Thanks." Glen said blushing a bit. Erin saw that Claire hadn't noticed his attraction to her. "Erin's got a cool power too." Erin rolled her eyes at her brother's attempt at flattery. "She can possess people if she touches them."
"Really?" Claire cooed turning to Erin. The woman scowled at her. Claire let the excitement drop from her face.
"Yeah, but I prefer not to go jumping around in people's bodies." Erin stated. "Their memories always linger in my head for a few days."
"Well, it's cooler than falling down and not getting hurt." Claire mumbled.
"What do you mean? You can't die?" Glen asked surprised.
Erin was no longer interested or going to pretend to be interested in Claire Bennett. The girl just gave her a bad vibe. Claire and Glen talked about their powers animatedly. She sighed and looked out the window. She ran her fingers through her dark curls. She wondered how all this was going to work out. If...no, when Peter showed up what was she supposed to do? Say hi I found you than go back home with Glen in tow. Or was there something more to her mother's final wish? Did Catherine Summers intend for this to be a bigger mission?
"I"m starting there Monday!" Glen shouted. Erin didn't bother to turn her head, but merely looked out into the slowly darkening sky.
"That is so cool!" Claire exclaimed. "I haven't had many friends at school, so you could be my first." Erin could almost picture her brother's wide grin.
"Hey, Erin!" Glen shouted. Erin slowly turned to see Glen and Claire standing close together with identical goofy smiles. "Me and Claire are going to go to the same school."
"That's great." Erin lied through a fake smile.
Suddenly, Erin felt unsafe in the apartment. She wanted to leave, but it was deemed impossible in a matter of seconds. The front door flew off its hinges Erin could see a man no older than thirty. He had dark brown eyes and deep brown hair that stuck up every which way. He wore a deep brown shirt and jeans. Claire turned around to glare at him.
"Sylar?" She said in a surprised tone. The man smiled. Erin could tell he was no good. Even before he flung Claire into the wall. Her head collided into the wall causing her to go unconscious. Glen just had time to look from Claire to Sylar, than he too was flung into the wall. Erin turned to look at the man than found herself being held high against the brick wall in the loft.
"Where is Peter Petrelli?" His voice sounded calm and soothing. He walked toward her with his hand extended toward her. Erin struggled.
"I don't have time for this." He mumbled to himself. "Again, where is Peter Petrelli?" Erin needed a plan and she needed one quick. Claire and her brother were out cold. She couldn't possess this Sylar character unless she had contact with his skin. The only thing she could do was struggle.
"I'm not telling you." the words slipped from her mouth. What was she doing? Trying to get herself killed? The man looked at her angrily. His fingers coiled inward toward his palm. Erin struggled to breathe against the nonexisant weight.
"I suggest you tell me." Sylar replied as he formed a smile. "Or I will have to do some harm to those two." Sylar glanced at the two unconscious teens. Erin's teeth gritted. She may have been annoyed by her brother at times, but she still felt very strongly about protecting him.
"Why would you?" A plan started to brew in her head. "They don't know where Petrelli is. I do. They have nothing to do with this." The man smiled again. This time showing off some very pretty teeth.
"Very brave of you." He said letting his hand drop slowly. Erin's body dropped half way down the wall, but was still stuck against it helpless and choking. A banging came from the door. Sylar glanced at it than back at Erin. "But I'm afraid we'll have to finish this later." Erin felt her throat close up than something hit her head hard. Blackness took over her vision.

A Cliffhanger! I love it! Erin and Glen's powers are finally revealed and a kidnapping! More heroes will be making their way into this story, but probably not all of them.
