We brought those two boys back home with us. Their names were Steven and Christopher. They were brothers.

"Jesse was your creator?" Sarah asked them.

"Yes," said Steven. "He bit us both about two months ago."

"What happened when he first found y'all?" asked Benny.

"Yes," said Yvette. She smiled as she leaned up close to Christopher on the table. "Tell us about your transformation, dear Christopher."

He smiled back at her. "We were orphans in Chicago," answered Chris. "Our dad left us when we were kids, and our mother died of cancer five years ago."

"I'm so sorry," said Sarah.

"We didn't go to an orphanage." said Steven.

"Why?" I asked.

"I couldn't be separated from my little brothers," Steven answered. "They were all the family I had left. I couldn't let some other family take them away. God knows that I couldn't live with myself if something happened to them."

"That's what happened in our childhood," said Christopher. "As we lived on the streets, we traveled during the day. Either Steven or I go search for food during the day and took care of our little brother, Nate. He barely knew anything for a little boy."

"How did Jesse find you?" I asked.

"One of our members, Geraldo has the ability to see potential and powers of others," said Steven. "He comes with Jade to look for other humans. Jesse wanted special people."

"They found me first," said Chris. "Geraldo saw the special power I had. Before they took me with them, I asked them if my brothers could come too. They allowed it since they needed more. From the moment Jesse told us everything, I-I just knew he was lying. Steve and I escaped, but we left our little brother, Nate behind."

Steven stood up and walked outside onto the balcony. He leaned up against the pillars in frustration.

"I'll go talk to him," I said.

I walked outside and looked at him.

"You all right?" I asked him.

"No." Steven muttered.

"Look, Steven. I apologize f-for—"

"You don't have to apologize for anything."

"Okay."

"Do you know what it's like…giving up things, even it was your own life, to protect the people you love?"

"Yes, I do."

"When?"

"Right now."

"Is that what Jesse trying to do? Hurt your loved ones?"

"He's after me, not them. Jesse knows that the only way he could hurt me is by hurting them first."

Tears started running down his face. Steven didn't bother to wipe them off.

"My mother was at the brink of death when I was twelve years-old. Her heart rate was slowing down. Chris was only eleven and Nate was barely nine years-old. He was wondering what was wrong with Mom. Chris kept telling him that Mom was sick.

"I remembered her last words to me. 'Steven…I want you to know that I love you and your brothers so much. I'm gonna be gone now, okay? You have to be the man now. You have to take care of your brothers. Do whatever you can. Just don't let them starve!' I promised her that I would never let them starve. Before I knew it…she was gone."

"Steven, you can't blame it on yourself. You did everything you could to keep them alive."

"Nate believed Jesse. He thinks he's the good guy. You and your family are innocent! C-Can we stay with you? I don't want to be on the bad side."

"Yes, will you be willing to fight with us?"

"Yes. Ethan, are you going this far to trust us to keep your family safe?"

"I drag Jesse straight to hell, before I ever let him hurt my family."

I looked up at the window and gazed at something. It was Chris and Yvette. Both of them were talking and appeared to be smiling. From the looks on both of their faces, I could see some kind of connection between them. That connection had something to do with love.

Steven looked at up in the direction I looking at.

"Why am I not surprised?" He sighed. "He flirts with every girl alive."

"That looks like it's more than flirting." I said.

"Can we trust you guys?"

"Trust whoever you want, Steven. Just make sure you're on the right side. Do you want to fight with us?"

"I don't wanna fight with anyone else."

We had to teach Christopher and Steven how to fight. They were understanding very quickly. Both of them took a few turns with Rory, Eddie, and Erica. I refused to let Sarah fight with them and let them use me instead.

Steven and Chris were good fighters. Although, their fighting skills were a little different compared to ours. Rory, Erica, and I were graceful, elegant, and knew martial arts. Steven was a bit elegant and was able to hold himself back. On the other hand, Christopher was rough, wild, and animalistic.

While they weren't training, Chris would be in the backyard practicing his power with Grandma and Benny. He had the ability to create an electrical current through the palm of his hands. It's like being tasered. His power is able to have a vampire flat on their back, but for humans, it could kill them.

For his electric training, Rory and I were his test subjects. Chris's power was excruciating pain. The shock was like an electric shock, a lightning strike, and a taser in their greatest shock all combined together.

While neither of them were busy, I would often find Chris talking to Yvette. Both of them would always be smiling and laughing. Steven would be hang out with Juliet and Shanelle. He seemed to be fascinated as they told him about the history of vampires, but no connection was between them.

They informed us about Jessie's army.

Geraldo was the only gifted one there. There was exactly twenty-six of them. We might be outnumbered. It doesn't matter. I just have to stop him.
