Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters accept of course Talia.

-----

Talia Mischa Lector lived a quiet life in France with her parents Hannibal and Clarice Lector. Of course they were currently under the names of Marcus, Adele and Talia Laroche. Even though Hannibal and Clarice didn't favor there secretive names they were happy they only had to use them in public because their daughter Talia had known her parents real identities and what had happened in the past since she was thirteen years old.

But now Talia was sixteen and despite everything that had happened in the past in America she still wished to visit there. She wanted to compare America to France. She wanted to see the places where her parents' unfortunate events had happened. She just wanted to witness everything she could instead of just hearing about these places. So now Hannibal and Clarice were discussing rather it was a good idea to let their daughter go back to the one place that was dangerous for the two of them.

"I know it's dangerous for us there but we don't necessarily have to go. She is old enough to go by herself and stay for a week or two." Clarice said.

"That is true and I don't really see the harm in letting her go because no one expects us to have a child. Most of them probably think I murdered you a long time ago." Hannibal replied.

Clarice laughed a little at that. "Okay so let's give her two weeks. That should give her more than enough time to see what she wants to see."

"I agree." Clarice said. Then she shouted for her daughter. "Talia would you come here please."

After a few moments you can hear footsteps descending down the staircase and petite girl burst into the room. She has Clarice's hair and shortness, but she has Hannibal's eyes and his smile. She had perfect posture and was extremely polite, and her foreign accent was beautiful.

"You called for me?" Talia asked calmly.

"Yes, we have decided that you may visit America for two weeks."

Talia's calmness was no longer maintained. She squealed in delight. "Thank you thank you thank you."

"But there are a few matters we have to discuss." Hannibal said.

"Okay, like what?" Talia asked.

"First of all your choker." Hannibal was referring to the choker necklace that he had specially made for her. It was a band of creamy white fabric with a square charm slid on to it. The charm had a unique old looking design on it that was Hannibal's old family crest. He had given this to her on her thirteenth birthday after him and Clarice had told her about their real identities. Since there weren't really any records of the crest that told that it lead back to the Lector family Hannibal didn't see the harm in having this made. "Now I know that it would be very rare for anyone to know what that crest is but if anyone takes any special interest in it besides telling you they like it I want you to take it off and not put it back on until you get back home."

"Okay."

"And those people from the F.B.I are probably not really interested in mine and your mother's case right now but they probably think I killed your mother a long time ago so don't do or say anything that might lead people to believe that you are our daughter."

"Okay that's easy enough."

"Alright, you leave first thing in the morning." Clarice said.

"That soon? Wow, I better go pack." Talia ran out of the room and up the staircase to her room.

"I hope we don't regret this." Hannibal said with a little trace of worry in his voice.

"I think she will be fine." Clarice said calming him.
