AnnaBeth said, not intimidated by the demon lord’s posture.
“I will not allow Alexandra to go alone,” Balthazar said with finality.
“Very well,” AnnaBeth said with a heavy sigh, throwing her hands into the air. She did not have the energy to pick a fight with an overprotective demon lord, and she was still more than a little shaken by what had happened with Sam moments before. She was looking for a reason to get out of the same room as him. “I believe it is time, then, for your first lessons Alexandra.”

“Tell me about your experiences with your powers, Alexandra,” AnnaBeth said as she walked beside Alex in the small park located beside their hotel. A scowl formed on her brow as she contemplated the request.
“I’ ve only felt them a couple of times,” Alex said, “mostly when I was really angry or scared.”
“Yes,” AnnaBeth said, “there is a built in defense mechanism of sorts. They will often kick in natur ally if you are endangered.”
“That makes sense,” Alex said, “but I also used them to heal Sam, just before you and your sisters showed up.”
“I k now,” AnnaBeth said with a smile, “that is how we found you. Do you remember that feeling?”
“Sort of,” Alex said, “I mean, I remember the feeling, but when I try to do it again, I just can’t.”
“What were you doing just before you healed Sam?” AnnaBeth asked.
“ I had just woke up,” Alex said. “Actually, Sam woke me up. I was having a bad dream. He heard me and came in my room.”
“Was it one of your special dreams?” AnnaBeth asked, knowing full well what the answer was.
“I t was certainly a strange dream,” Alex said. “It felt strange, and when I woke up I felt sick.”
“Those are the symptom dreams I spoke of earlier,” AnnaBeth said. “Do you remember what happened in this dream?”
“Nothing really happened,” Alex said. “I just remember I couldn’t move.”
AnnaBeth stopped dead in her tracks, a look of pure terror coming over her face for a split second before she relaxed back into her carefully practiced, typical mask of kindness.
“Tell me more about it,” AnnaBeth said continuing to walk along the small path in the park. Alex could tell she was trying to remain calm. There was something she said that seemed to completely unnerve her.
“ Um..Ok,” Alex said, thinking back for a moment before she answered, “I couldn’t see anything. Just darkness. I was trying to move my legs but I couldn’t. I remember trying to scream, but nothing came out. Then Sam woke me up, and I just felt so sick.”
“I see,” AnnaBeth said, hiding the worry from her face as best she could.
“What does it mean?” Alex asked.
“Oh, nothing,” AnnaBeth said, forcing a smile with a wave of her hand. She didn’t see any reason to alarm Alex. What was done was done and there was no use dwelling on such things.
“AnnaBeth,” Alex said firmly, stopping her and grabbing the her by the shoulders to look her in the eyes. “I don’t need you to keep secrets from me. Tell me what has you so upset.”
“Very well,” AnnaBeth said with a sigh. “I suppose you should know.”
Alex gave her a small nod, signaling for her to continue, despite the not so sure expression that had taken over her face.
“Come,” AnnaBeth said, grabbing Alex by the hand and pulling her over to a bench. “Sit, I will tell you about the history of your kind.”
“My kind?” Alex asked, her brows raised as she sat down on the bench. “You mean humans?”
“Not exactly,” AnnaBeth said, taking the seat next to her and pulling out the same small book that had the picture of the Hope Diamond drawn in it.
“Are you trying to tell me I’m not human?” Alex asked.
“Well, you are,” AnnaBeth said. “Sort of. You are a very special kind of human.”
“Ok,” Alex said, trying to process the information.
“There have
