Evan and Kanon meeting for short time at edge of the forest brought a slight joy to both of them that lasted for an hour. Their moods were able to lighten after both seemed down about unable to see each other. Gifts that Kanon had for Evan were given while he gave her bag of jerky and small sculpture. No vows or promises were made since they had limited interaction between them. Knowing that Kanon shouldn't be pulled into drama that was currently going on with Sukuu family.

Leaving the two to take their own ways back home with one returning home and other going home after hard day. Smiles both wore upon their faces would tell any one that dark clouds above their heads had disappeared. Last even after their long walks back their own homes until one's smile faded. Because he realized he left his nephew alone in his playpen while he was out.

"You better be asleep." Evan locked front door's multi knobs.

Before he heads over to sitting room he had left in his playpen hugging his familiar stuff animals in the shape of a bat. Instead of being awake he was wide asleep laying on his side so wrapped up in a bat print blanket. Dear didn't stir once when Evan had returned after meeting with Kanon. Relieving some of his guilt toward him leaving the child alone for a hour or two with no one watching him.

"Better get your sippy ready before you wake up." Evan leaned over the playpen.

He just watched the little boy lay there in peaceful matter dreaming away the rest of day away without crying. Leaving Evan to remove his light jacket with out a fuss whole hanging it on near by coat rack. Before heading toward the kitchen trying to remember what types of juice that Anipater was allowed to drink. He knew most of the sugary blends or herbal mixtures were to harsh for the child. Leaving him to go with the natural juices that were squeezed from fresh oranges.

"Please let me he able to find his sippy cup this time." He hatred looking for it.

He never liked the way he sisters organized all the dishware in the kitchen after cleaning it by their hands. Since he always stuck looking through all of the cabinets looking for a child's drinking cup. Many things he ended up pulling out thinking that weren't something that he thought they had. Before finally coming across the item he been looking for finding out he spent more then hour looking around.

Time around when he entered the kitchen to look for the cup he would find it in the first cabinet. Leaving him to fill it and leave the area for the same room that Anipater would still be asleep in. On the near by table the cup would be placed by him before he could sit on the near by sofa. Just staring at the Anipater wondering what he was going to do until the child woke up.

"This is why they made chore lists." He needed something more to do.

He knew feeding the bats to cleaning out great-grandfather's area of the house that was pretty quick since there wasn't much. Any thing else that needed to be done had been handled already by others of the family. Leaving second youngest member with little to do until their return. Not like it would stop him since he ended up walking toward a large, wooden cabinet sat up against the wall. He opened up to revealed a old TV and pirate cable box hooked up to it.

"Lets see what we got on you." He pressed a few buttons.

On the electrical devices went while he grabbed the universal remote that allowed him to change channels. He couldn't put anything violate or dramatic on knowing Anipater would some how be influenced by this. All he could do was go to a list of already approved pictures that his sisters had created after the pirated cable box was out in. None of them was what he wanted until he came across a few. One was a to foot network, animal channel, and few others that Kanon liked.

"Let trying to public access one." He typed in the numbers.

What he got was choice between three of small channel with period a number that he had a hard time looking through. One was for to-do your self and cooking shows he could watch any time since he was always alone. Second was full of traveling shows and history documentaries that got him thinking about taking around the world trip. Third was shows from other countries that he choice to watch since someone called Doctor Who showed up.

"Sonic screw driver." Anipater repeats what Doctor Who said.

This put a smile on Evan who noticed the child how woken up just within seconds of his finally picking a channel. Instead of crying like he usual did what something like this was out on by Evan. He was standing up in his playpen and saying the words 'Sonic screw driver' over and over again.

"Alright up we go." Evan would leave his seat on the sofa.

He would walk over to his nephew to lift him out of the playpen with him reaching out toward the screen. That would stop when Evan sat down on the sofa and allowed Anipater to settle in his lap and cheer. This went for the whole show until it ended up minutes later leaving a happy Anipater.

"Hungry!" He started to whine.

This had a piece of unseasoned jerky being handed to him since Evan wasn't in the mood to walk all the way to kitchen. Knowing that Anipater's pre-made meal was already setting in the fridge awaiting to be used. Side from empty sippy cup that laid near open bag of jerky he was using to fed Anipater.

"Mommy make?" Anipater asked about Vanessa.

Evan just nodded his head not wanting to tell the boy that Thorn was one that made the jerky instead of his sister. While all he could do was spoil the child's brain with TV and let him eat jerky. Before thinking of a way to thank who ever wanted him to meet up with Kanon after seeing her, and how he was going to explain his short absence. Not like Anipater was effected about being alone for a short time.

Sid knew for the time he tried to lay his foot on the land that had been taken over by vampires he come to dislike. He knew each one of them except Anipater and Evan had fully developed vampires senses. Meant he couldn't get inside the house without coming in contact with someone wanting him dead. Not like he had plans on storming the place with guns blazing silver tipped bullets every where. Urge to shove a few grenades in their chests with pin pulled to make them go BOOM.

All because of the unsettled feelings he had for his once vampire lover

Had brought him all the way here to this place and try to get back and the family that ripped them apart. Just what he had planned about picking them off when they were in their woods didn't work out. Evan was found by Kanon with shoulder injury before he could give him the finishing blow. Thorn and Derek got away with minor burns and flickers of silver embedded in their skin. Elizabeth and Vanessa were unable to be caught in any of his traps when they traveled through the woods. Galvin barely left the mansion since he been caring for great-grandfather at the time.

Evan came and went on a rtrail to see Kanon or she was already beside him walking to or from the mansion. Anipater would never been seen with out being in the arms of his mother or father. He sometime would walk beside Evan and Kanon with his little hand in their own. Making it hard for Sid to get one of them alone in those woods and turn them in shuddering pile of ash.

"Almost out of arrows." He checked his pouch.

A leather pouch made form hyde of an animal he had strapped to his leg through series of buckles make it easier. For him to use the silver tipped arrows his used on his medium size cross bow. The crossbow it self was slightly worn and had a replaced string that launched silver tipped projectiles. He was slowly running away from Derek and Thorn chasing him through a thicket of tree and underbrush. He used his arrows to try and chase them off when he ran back wards running from them.

"You coming out or we coming in!" Thorn's voice made his head turn.

Sitting on a stump Thorn could be found beside his wife hinting she wanted to get this over with since it was spring cleaning time. Derek and his own wife stepped out in front of Sid when he was about to step away. Vanessa would rather be home with her son and Evan instead of here handling her dead mother's former lover. Galvin sat above Sid's head telling her that his youngest members needing the bonding time while they needed to handle this.

Before removing him self from the spot on the high up tree branch that had Sid lifting his head and stretching his neck out. All he got before Galvin landed in the ground a few feet in front of him was blurring sun in his eyes. Now he would be up and close with the man his former lover adored.

"We both loved Scarlet to ends of this Earth," Galvin took a step forward. "Just what your doing..."

He couldn't stop staring at what Sid carried since it was something Scarlet would collect just never use. Wanting to tell him how Scarlet sort of got off on being treated as a prey when corner with possible threat of death. Not like he was to after seeing what he could do after Evan and his in-laws.

"In some ways I think is your way of avenging her with out knowing the whole story." Galvin stepped forward again.

"Try me!" Sid stood his ground rising the cross bow .

"Let the story begin." Thorn yelled.

Evan had turned the TV after a few hours of it entertaining with the many shows he was allowed to watch. Up until the time Anipater went to sleep since he been in Evan's lap and arms the whole time he was watching TV. He would be placed back in his playpen where he was covered up in same blanket. Leaving Evan to take the remote over to the TV he would end up turning off while closing up the cabinet. The remote got dumped into a draw that was right below those doors.

Allowing Evan to return to his seat with book he pulled off the shelve that was inches ago from the cabinet. He knew it was one of his father's nameless books that was bond in age old leather and smell of musk. Written in same language that ancient vampires could only understand and he was taught to understand. He would come to enjoy needing to take his mind off the absence of his family facing that hunter. Knowing they weren't the sort to confront the person using violate means.

To only have his bit of light reading interrupted by rapid knocking on his family's front door

Not like he was able to concentrate on reading the first two pages of the book he picked before of this noise. He knew he couldn't answer it due to his sisters' rule against doing when they weren't home. Using one the bats to see if the person pounding away at the door was friend or foe. Could get him around the rule if the person was list someone lost in woods or someone he knew. On to the coffee table the book will be laid by him while he mentally called out to one of the bats.

Answer he got wasn't a pleasing one since it sent him running toward the door leaving Anipater in sitting room. Instead of waiting for one of bats to fetch one of the members of his family before he answered the door. Because when he did he came face to face with out of breath Kenta. Mann looked like he just came from work and had to possible run all the way since taxi cad couldn't drive him here.

"Talk...about...daughter!" Were the only words he could get out when he started to wheeze.

"You mean about Kanon?" Evan clarified his words.

"...yes..." Kenta kneeled down halfway when he lost the strength to stand up.

Evan not wanting to be mean allowed human in to the house stating if he done anything wrong of late to Kanon. He was deeply apologetic since drama of a 'stalker' ,who once knew his dead mother, started bothering his family. For Kanon's own protection he had to cut off long periods of visiting her; aside from calls and voice messages. Didn't stop from restricted communication to be exchanged between them.

"...not that..." Kenta tried to stand up.

He ended up stumbling down to the marble flooring when his legs gave off to hard his knee caps got bruised. Didn't mean the cool stone was pleasing to his aching joints of his legs as he repeated his question.

'Was Evan and his family vampires?'

'What was his purpose toward courting Kanon? Was it good or bad?'

Last thing Kenta remembered before succumbing to tiredness that started to take over his body. Had him falling side wards on to the floor dropping his brief close and plastic bag filled with something from Karin and Kanon. Was expression of shock and confusion that appeared on Evan's face about what he had brought up.
