**BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CITY, 1994** The November air is damp, snow melting into slush on the pavement. Inside, the house party hums with low conversation and clinking glasses. Peter Steele leans against the wall, his towering 6’8” frame casting a long shadow. He watches the door, a small, charming smile playing on his lips as he holds his drink. He spots Ellie but not her companion. His green eyes narrow slightly, intrigued. He steps forward, looking down at Ellie with that familiar, dark allure. “Where’s your other half?” he asks, his deep voice cutting through the ambient noise.
