Connor sat in the slightly crowded pub that the witch, Matt had taken him to. It wasn't too far from where they had dusted the Vamps. Probably a common hunting ground. He clutched the drink Matt had gotten him, 'Smirnoff Black Ice' It tasted like lemonade except with more bite it wasn't too bad. Connor had just finished relaying his story to Matt who had a puzzled look on his face as if he was about to call a shrink.

"Let me get this straight." Matt's tone conveyed a similar puzzlement to the look on his face.

"You're the child of two vampires, one of which had a soul due to a Gypsy Curse. Your mother, the soulless one staked herself so you would be born. While you were still a baby one of your parent's enemies, Holts kidnapped you and took you to a Demon Dimension where he raised you as his own. You came back later that year but all grown up and because of how Holts had raised you, you attempted to kill your father. Consummated with a higher being who had possessed one of your father's friends so it could give birth to itself. Later killed the higher being. Then tried to kill yourself, the woman and a whole group of other people. Your father stopped you and made a deal with an evil law firm to wipe your memories and give you those of a healthy childhood. Later you regained your memories while fighting a demon but retained your sanity. Helped your father fight against this evil law firm but then he made you leave. You worked out you were a Champion of the Powers That Be, kinda like good spirits watching over us. They lead you to me through a Seer and Dreams?"

"Yep that's pretty much it."

"Is it weird that none of that freaked me out?"

"A little but you're better informed then most people. Ok your turn."

"My turn? Alright but it's not nearly as interesting as yours that a tough act to follow. My Parents are human, no powers. I was born a natural witch though not knowing it and not really realizing I used magic at different times. When I was about fourteen my powers starting showing themselves more, I started getting more control over them like floating things not at the level I have now. They just grew over the years as I trained them and learnt more things from books and stuff. That's about it."

"What about the fighting the forces of darkness bit."

"For one thing they're evil, but there is a little more to it. A witch hating vampire came after me, sensed my magic. That was the first vampire I ever saw he was going to kill me and my brother came in, tried to protect me and the Vampire killed him. Ate him my brother died because of me."

"Matt, I'm sorry but you should realize. You didn't kill your brother the Vampire died. I know I've told myself that a hundred times, he died protecting me. I still feel a little responsible so that's part of the reason why I hunt one day I'll dust that vampire. Then the next one that comes along and the next. So I can stop other peoples brothers from dying."

Matt took a long hard swig from his bottle of drink Identical to Connor's trying to suppress the emotions that had been rising, his calm demeanor returned as soon as the bottle left his lips.

"So where you staying?"

"Some budget motel. It's really crappy."

"No you're not."

"What?"

"Connor you helped me out, saved my life I probably would have been ok without you but maybe not. I owe you, more importantly I trust you. You can stay at my apartment."

"Are you serious?"

"Totally. The Powers brought us together right? Maybe this is why. Maybe were supposed to fight together. We'll go to your motel and get your stuff and you can stay at my place."

"Thanks Matt, I appreciate it."

Matt gave a small nod of his head and flashed a cocky smile.

"Let's Go."

Connor walked with Matt up the stairs of the Hotel, normal teenage chatter as they came closer and closer.

"Hey that Law Firm your father worked for, what was it called?"

"Wolfram and Hart."

"Seriously? They've got a firm here."

"Really? That's not a good thing."

"From what I've heard it wouldn't be-?

Matt stopped talking mid sentence as they arrived at Connor's room and he raised a finger to silence him. An unspoken plan formed between them because it was obvious Connor thought someone was in his room. Matt leaned against the wall next to the door a fireball appearing in his hand, he nodded in Connor's direction. Taking the signal Connor kicked the door open and Matt leant in about to throw it extinguishing it before it was seen by…. The Maid.

She looked a little shocked form them bursting in the door like that and Connor reacted first.

"Sorry about that."

"Sir, please be quieter you may wake the other guests."

"Sorry." He told her.

While they were talking Matt had been looking around the room it was as bas as Connor had said and more, it even smelt of blood. That wasn't right he followed his nose walking towards the cupboard as Connor kept the Maid distracted, unintentionally but it still served Matt's purposes as he opened the door to the cupboard jumping backwards in shock. A maid lay propped in the cupboard two points in her neck with blood dripping from them. Connor and the 'Maid' had noticed it now and the maid's face had altered as she leapt at Connor who instinctively rolled out of the way.

Matt took this oppurtunity to launch his attack rushing the Vamp and attacking with the Blue Wave technique he's used earlier that night knocking the vampire backwards. She snarled at them.

"Figures I wait around here for an easy kill and I get a Witch and Acrobat man."

Connor thrust a sharp piece of wood in her from behind.

"Who you calling Acrobat Man?"

She screamed as she turned into dust before them.

"Another day, another slay. Let's get you packed up Connor."

Connor nodded it was strange that they both reacted from the attack like it was nothing. Guess that's the type of life they chose to lead. Connor was just glad they dusted her before anyone apart from the Maid got hurt.

I'll go tell the desk about the maid. Meet you down there."

Matt told him, Connor gave a short nod and started packing the little amount he had unpacked. He felt for the victims family but they'd done all they could.
