They checked into a hotel. They were given a suite, as paid for.
"Oh Carl, when do we get to see her?" Saya asked. She hugged him; Carl wrapped his arms around her waist. There were very few times in his life when he could hold Saya like this. Not by force, or by the means of feeding, but by passion and appreciation.
"Tonight, we'll meet at a club. Now, sleep. I have some business to take care of," Carl said as he guided her over to the bed.
"I've never seen you sleep before," Saya said as she sat down on the bed. Admiring the red silk blanket.
"I don't require sleep, neither do you. However, Chiropterans like you need all the rest they can get. I'll call room service and have them bring you something. I don't recall you eating anything and you need to have a full stomach before taking the pills," Carl said.
"Wait, sit with me for a moment," Saya said. She grabbed his hand and pulled him down next to her gently.
"The pills, ever since I've been taking them I can't remember anything from before a few days ago. What happened?" Saya asked.
"Saya, I have to protect you from certain things. I don't want you getting hurt again, I can't tell you. However," Carl said as he leaned forward and kissed her.
"You should enjoy these memories. You never had such happiness back then. I want you to start with a clean slate, my love. I don't want you to cry anymore," Carl said. Though he always had a whim to hold Saya, or watch Saya, as she wept by means of him. It was somewhat amusing. It also gave him a chance to cry with the only thing he loved. He had not cried in so long. Not since that night in his chambers with Saya thirty years ago.
"But why? If something happened between us than I should have the right to know. I mean, I remembered fighting someone and blood pooling beneath me. I never want to feel such terror again. But our daughter, if I've ever seen her before I'd like to know," Saya said. Carl shook his head softly, denying Saya's request for her memory. He caressed her hand with his claw-like fingers, just along the veins. He had drank Saya's blood before, how delectable she had tasted. He would have to wait a little longer to feel her blood inside him.
"Take the pills, I don't want you to grow ill and lose your memory again. We can pick this up tonight at the club when we meet our daughter. For now, I want you to relax," Carl said, in an almost demanding tone. Saya nodded her head and anticipated to his wish. Carl left the room.
He was going to invite his daughter to meet Saya.
Diva sat silently by the window. She had been in her mother's room since the day she arrived here. She ordered her Chevaliers to leave her alone. There was a knock on the door and Mathew entered. Diva looked at him numbly.
"Diva, they told me about your wish. I want to help you. I am ready to become your Chevalier," he said. Diva nodded her head and then turned her head aside.
"Would you like to go for a walk with me? Just the two of us?" Mathew asked. Diva, who had a pallid morning so far, decided it would be best to stretch her legs. She stood up from her bed and nodded her head. She grabbed her leather jacket and they walked out the door.
"Are Hagi and Solomon coming?" Diva asked as she placed the jacket over herself.
"You ordered them to leave you alone, didn't you? They can't defy that order until you're in danger," Mathew said. They walked to the beach instead of driving. It was such a lovely morning to waste in doors. When they arrived on the beach they sat there and gazed at the ocean.
With sunlight rippling on its waves it looked like sparkling heliodors and sapphires.
"It's so beautiful in the morning. I never noticed how beautiful nature can be," Diva whispered.
"What's surprising is how beautiful your mother is..." Carl said, appearing behind them. Diva's eyes widened and then she turned her head. Mathew stood up in front of her.
"Would you like to meet Saya?" Carl asked. Diva stood up as Hagi and Solomon appeared behind Carl.
"Please, I'd like to speak with my father alone," Diva said. Pushing Mathew aside and ambling up a few feet before her father.
"Diva..." Mathew said.
"I gave you all an order. Leave me and father alone...NOW!" Diva growled. They all assented and left.
"Wonderful Diva. I'd like you to meet Saya first. There's a club in town that I would like to meet you and your Chevaliers at. Are you familiarized with a club called Impressions?" Carl asked.
"Yes, I used to work there. I'll meet you there at midnight. The crowd is smaller then so it will be easier to spot you," Diva said.
"Very well. Saya and I look forward to taking you home with us," Carl said before he jumped away into the sky. Only to disappear from Diva's sight.
"Diva!" Hagi shouted as he ran up to her.
"We're all going clubbing tonight. We'll get to see Saya and father dancing." Diva said. Their faces filled with shock.
