So I decided to post another chapter today so that I can actually get to the good part. Any way I don't anything dark hunter but my characters Rose and Miles. Enjoy :)

Miles Woods wished he had been old enough to leave the kitchen and hang out in the main part of Sanctuary and hang out with all the grown ups, but since he was seven, he couldn't even be near any of the fun.

Everything had changed when his parents died. He still felt sad about it. It had been two years since their death but he still missed them dearly. The only thing he now was his sister Rose. She took care of him as best she could. She even worked two jobs so that she could give everything he wanted.

Now he sat in the kitchen chair of the club Sanctuary trying to figure out why his sister was late picking him up.

"Hey kid, you still here?"

Nick Gautier, sat down next to him. Nick was about twenty-four, handsome and always had a smile going on him as if everything was funny. Miles thought he was the coolest person in the entire world. He always spent some time with Miles when he came around and saw that he was bored.

Miles frowned "Yeah, Rosie's late"

Miles was worried. His sister said she'd be there at ten o'clock; it was now midnight.

Nick frowned also. "Hey mom," Nick turned to Miles' babysitter, "Did Miles' sister call and say she'd be late?"

"No, she hadn't" Cherise Gautier came over from cutting onions and called Rose's phone. "She's not answering"

Nick looked at Miles, "Maybe she's getting out of work late, kid. It has happened a couple of times in the past."

"Yeah, but she's always called to let me know" It was true. Rose Woods never let her little brother worry about anything when it came to her. She always called him to make sure he was okay and for him to know that she was alright. Rose told Nick that ever since their parents died, Miles had nightmares that Rose was going to die and he would be all alone. Rose had told him countless times that she wouldn't leave him no matter what.

Nick could only guess what was going through the kid's head at the moment.

"Alright, I'll go by her job and see if everything is ok-"

"I'm here! I'm here!" Rose woods burst through the door drenched in rain water. As soon as Miles saw her, he ran up to her and hugged her around the waist.

Rose put her arms around him, "Sorry I'm late monster. I had stuck late at work and my phone died so I couldn't call."

"It's all right cher. We were happy to spend some time with Miles a little more. See I told you kid, she was alright" Nick told her.

Rose gave him a smile.

Ever since Nick met Rose a couple of moths ago he thought she was one of the most beautiful beings he'd ever laid eyes on.

Her hair was as black as night and she had the brownest eyes. They were so brown that they seemed to have a red tint to them. Nick had asked Ash if she wasn't human but Ash said everything seemed normal. But Nick always had a feeling there was something special about her.

Of course he tried to go out with her, but she had always told him that he was more like an older brother to her.

Rose looked down at Miles, "You ready to go home?"

"Can we please stay with Miss Cherise tonight?" Miles asked his sister.

"Miles, you know we can't intrude in other people's lives. We have our own home to go to."

"I know but its cold Sissy. I don't want you sleep without blankets again"

Rose looked at Miles sadly. Whenever he called her 'Sissy' it made her heart melt. He only called her that when he wanted her to stop suffering. For a seven-year old, he was very smart. "I'm sorry baby, but we can't you have school tomorrow and I have things to do in the morning."

Miles pushed his sister away. "Fine"

He stomped away and walked out of the kitchen.

Rose sighed. "Thank you again so much for taking care of him Miss Cherise, I really appreciate it."

She took out an envelope of money and handed it to Cherise. "Here's this weeks pay"

Cherise looked at it. "Oh honey you don't need to pay me back."

But Rose never put her hand down. Rose hated charity. She hated to owe anyone anything. She was stubborn like that.

Cherise frowned, but took the money.

"Goodnight Miss Cherise. Night Nick."

"Goodnight darlin'," Nick said.

With that Rose left out the door.

"She reminds me of you when I was younger Ma." Nick said.

"You sure are right sweetheart" Handing Nick the money, "Can you put this in his savings please?"

"Sure thing"

All the money that Rose paid Cherise went into a separate savings account for Miles. Cherise didn't need the money. She had plenty of that. She watched over Miles because she knew how it was trying to take care of a child with no help at all. She was as stubborn as she was when she was younger. Rose also didn't know that Cherise knew that on some nights, Rose worked at the strip club on Bourbon to make extra cash for food and new clothes.

At least with the savings account, Miles would have a start at going to a good school when he got older. Of course Rose didn't know about it and Cherise and Nick decided to keep it that way until the right time came.

As Rose walked through the crowd of the club she couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes on her. Looking to her right she saw a man who had blond hair. He looked like an all American pretty boy turned Goth. An unsettling feeling came upon Rose. Something was telling her to run away as fast as she could.

Looking away Rose searched for Miles. She found him talking to another Goth looking man whose long hair was blacker than ravens feathers. He had a dangerous aura around him but at the same time she felt some sort of safety within his presence, Rose knew he wouldn't hurt her little brother.

"Miles, I thought I told you not to leave my side when were in here" She said as she walked up to the two.

"Sorry Rosie"

Rose glared at him. Miles didn't sound sorry at all.

The man he was talking to laughed. "Kids these days right?"

"Uh yeah," Something about him made her not able to breathe. Maybe it was that he was wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night or it was probably that he was a giant next to her five feet two inches self. Staring at him she felt some sort of pull to him. It made her feel like she just wanted to just rip off his clothes and ride him right on the floor of the club.

Rose's cheeks turned red at her thoughts. It wasn't like her to think of something so risky. Especially when she was in a situation where she had someone to take care of.

She looked at Miles, "C'mon monster let's go home. It's late."

She smiled to the stranger and they started to walk away.

"My name's Acheron"

Rose stopped in midstride. Acheron. The name sounded so familiar but she couldn't place it. Searching through her mind to find the source of the name her head started to hurt.

All of a sudden she felt a pair of arms holding her up.

"Are you okay?" Rose looked up to see Acheron holding her weight. His brow was bent in worry as he held her. The feel of his arms around her made her feel safe. She never wanted to leave them. She wondered how it would feel like if they made love to each other.

As quickly as he caught her she jumped out of his arms. "I'm fine."

"Lets go Miles" Rose took her brother's hand and left.

Acheron stared after her. There was something about this woman that gave him a feeling he hadn't felt in a very long time and he was going to find out why.
