"I scream out, 
Til my voice breaks
And my heart hates me."

Aurora Elizabeth Greenway. The voice was an echo- just an echo- but I heard it inside my mind as if it was Alec was speaking, right beside me. My head snapped up. 
                          
Alec frowned, looking at me questioningly, but I ignored him and stared as the two Silent Brothers glided towards me. 
                          
I am Brother Enoch, the first one said. I am here to see you, Aurora. 
                          
'Daisy, please,' I managed, fear tumbling through my heart and down to the very tips of my toes. Alec stared at the Silent Brothers. From his expression, it was clear that only I could hear the Silent Brothers- a good thing, seeing as a faeries name was sacred, and shared only to those she trusted. Not that I didn't trust Alec- just it was like giving someone your life in the palm of your hand. And to give it to someone who wasn't a faerie- it was unlikely they'd understand the nature of the gift you were giving them. That was what the Queen said, anyway. 
                          
As you wish. The Silent Brother must have spoken to both me and Alec, because his expression cleared, and I bit my lip anxiously. Come on. If it's bad news, just tell me, I thought. 
                          
State your age and species, please. The second Silent Brother said. 
                          
I frowned. 'Um, okay. Two hundred exactly. Faerie.' 
                          
Full faerie? 
                          
Where were they going with this? 
                          
'Yes. Full faerie. Half demon, half angel.' I frowned. 
                          
Parents? 
                          
'I never knew who my parents were,' I said irritably. 'Look, can we get to the point, please?' 
                          
You have human blood in you, Daisy. The first Silent Brother- Brother Enoch- said, his 'voice' emotionless. Human blood, angel blood, and demon blood. 
                          
'That's not possible,' Alec said. He's been so quiet I'd almost forgotten he was there. 'Unless...'
                          
'Unless one of my parents was human,' I said slowly. 'Unless...' 
                          
The human blood is very weak, Brother Enoch said calmly. From what we have observed, we think you may be half angel, three eighths demon and one eighth human. 
                          
'What?' I didn't really understand what he was getting at, to be honest. My maths wasn't too great, even after two hundred years, and I didn't understand what half angel, three eighths demon and one eighth human really meant for my species type. 
                          
'One faerie parent,' Alec said slowly. 'And one half faerie parent.' 
                          
'What, half faerie half human?' I asked. 'What do you mean?' 
                          
No, Brother Enoch said. One parent faerie. And one parent half faerie and half Shadowhunter. 


                          
Half angel half demon one parent   half angel quarter demon quarter human other parent = half angel three eighths demon one eighth human, basically.  
                          
This chapter was SO SO short. I'm really sorry, but I think it fits better for suspense and things for it to e this short- plus, double update so whatever.
