Dracania was awoke by a yell, it was D, she emediatly ran to where she'd left D to sleep at.

She burst into D's room, he was sitting up and breathing hard his eyes still fermly shut.

Dracania:"What was it?"

D:"Nothing"

Dracania:"Don't lie"

D:"A nightmare ok?"

Dracania:"About what?"

D:"The usual".

Dracania:"And whats that?"

D:"When you know.."

Dracania:"Oh... sorry I asked"

Dracania crouched near D.

Dracania:"You ok?"

D:"I'm alright"

D got up, but he was unsteady and tripped and Dracania caught him.

Dracania:"D!"

D grabbed onto Dracania's arm tightly,

Dracania:"You okay?"

D nodded. Dracania helped D stand,

D:"Sorry i'm not use to this"

Dracania:"I can tell"

D was unsteady on his feet. Dracania lead him outside to the hill, she remembered this hill, she helped D sit. Dracania sat down beside D,

D:"Why are we here?"

Dracania:"I want to talk and not in that castle".

D:"Okay"

Dracania:"Why did you take mom with you?"

D:"Her father was the only one taking care of her".

Dracania:"What happened to her mother?"

D:"She was human so she had passed".

Dracania:"Oh"

D:"I was hired to kill her father, so I went and found him I didn't know about her".

Dracania:"So she was a surprise"

D:"Yes, I didn't know he let her live a regular life ethier".

Dracania:"She lived human"

D:"She was a dhampir and she had no clue what it meant to be one".

Dracania:"Sort of like me"

D:"Yes, I thought her all she needed to know, she traveled with me".

Dracania:"I bet that was hard on her"

D:"It was, she wanted to settle somewhere but I couldn't".

Dracania:"Why not?"

D:"I've been hunting so long it's hard to settle down in one spot and not be warry".

Dracania:"I see"

D:"You don't, not yet anyways, so I stayed put for as long as possible".

Dracania:"How long?"

D:"Long enough for her to have you, it was hard to stay for her, she was afraid".

Dracania:"Really?"

D:"She had every right to be I hated being in that dreadful castle".

Dracania:"Because it was 'his'..."

D:"Right"

Silence fell they didn't want to talk about that. Dracania sighed,

Dracania:"What should we do till your healed?"

D:"I'm not sure but where not staying here".

Dracania:"Well we better head out then"

D nodded and they mounted up and headed out.

They arrived at a forest when D leaned agenst Dracania and it felt as if he was asleep.

Dracania:"D?"

No response, Dracania glanced behind her to find D asleep agenst her back,

Dracania:"Well".

Dracania smilled slightly,

Draacania:"I guess I can head out while you sleep"

Dracania didn't bother D. She just rode off towards a nearby village she had gotten word there was Noble nearby.

She didn't want to move D because he was so tired looking, Dracania carefully lifed D. He was still sleeping soundly as Dracania placed him in the shade of a large tree.

Dracania:"I'll be back"

Dracania hoped D would be asleep by the time she got back she didn't want him to know.

Dracania arrived at the sheriff's office she didn't regret leaving D behind he isn't capable of hunting anyways.

She entered the sheriff's office where the sheriff was waiting.

Sheriff:"Why it's Dracania!"

Dracania:"You've heard of me?"

Sheriff:"Practicaly everybody on the Frointer has now".

Dracania:"I heard you had a Noble problem"

Sheriff:"Yes but I remember calling on D"

Dracania:"Well he's out of comision for now".

Sheriff:"Well I guess you can handle this"

Dracania:"Who's the Noble?".

Sheriff:"We're not sure, but there has been five sightings but they all disapeared soon after".

Dracania:"Where can I find it?"

Sheriff:"The reports say it's a Noblewoman, she has been seen just north of town".

Dracania thanked the sheriff and headed north to the sighting spot.

Dracania arrived at the sighting spot and was awesturck to see a lovely woman just standing there.

She atomaticly knew it was a Noble but she looked like Catlin, she couldn't help but think it is.

Dracania:"Catlin?"

Catlin:"Dracania! I've missed you!"

The supposidly person that was Catlin hugged Dracania. Dracania couldn't help but hugged her back, she never got to know her mother,

Catlin:"Come, I want to show you something".

Dracania gladly followed Catlin to a nearby castle,

Catlin:"Come, come".

D awoke to find himself under a tree and Dracania no where in sight,

D:"Where is she?"

Left Hand:"She left you here".

D:"Where is she?!"

Left Hand:"Probably got a job and is working it alone"

D:"Alone?! She'll be killed!".

Dracania awoke to find herself chained in a cell, and a Noble laughing at her evily,

Noble:"You fool!".

Dracania:"You!"

Dracania charged but the chains yanked her back,

Noble:"Silly girl, those are special chains".

Dracania stopped pulling on them,

Nobl:"You miss your mommy so much you'll think she just came back!".

Dracania just stood there,

Noble:"Well I got news for you! Your mother died having you!".

Dracania:"She lived after I was born"

Noble:"Well she was weak and fragile and barely alive".

Dracania lounged,

Dracania:"I was to much for her to handle, so what?"

Noble:"Aw, look at the little dhampir".

Dracania pulled as hard as she could on the chains and blood dripped from her wrist.

D rushed into the sheriff's office,

D:"Where is she?!"

Sheriff:"Who?"

D:"Dracania!"

Sheriff:"She just left for where the Noble was sighted".

D:"Where!?"

Sheriff:"Just north of the village"

D dashed out the wind snarling in his wake. He jumped on his horse and dashed towards the north side of town.

D arrived at the sight and spotted the Noble's castle,

Left Hand:"Thats Zildra's castle alright, she's known for her allusions".

D:"She must of lured Dracania in with an image of Catlin"

Left Hand:"I wander what she'll use agenst you".

Dracania sat on the floor her wrist bleeding badly from where she had tried pulling them free. Dracania glanced at her blood, 'it was so very tempting... she reached out to lick it... no! She musn't! She can't! But it was so tempting... oh so tempting... but she couldn't. D would be upset with her if he found out, but D was asleep, but she knew better than that.' Dracania turned her head to the ground, she wouldn't drink her blood, she'd do it for D.

D raced into the castle to find Zilda waiting for him,

D:"Where is she?"

Zilda:"I can't tell you that".

D drew his sword,

D:"Then i'll have to force you to tell me!"

Zilda:"Come with me a moment".

D:"Why?"

Zilda:"I want to show you something"

D:"Show me where she is first"

Zilda:"Fine".

Zilda lead D to a room,

ZIlda:"She's in here"

D slightly arched an eyebrow and entered and Zilda looked the door.

Zilda came down the stairs laughing,

Dracania:"Whats so funny?!"

Dracania pulled agenst the chains again.

ZIlda:"Oh just took care of some buisness"

Dracania:"Was that D I heard?! You bitch!"

Zilda laughed.

Zilda:"Injoy this little time to yourself"

Zilda said as she walked up the stairs laughing.

Dracania:"You bitch! You'll pay! You better leave D alone! I won't let you kill him! I will escape! You here me! You'll pay you bitch!".

D coughed once he'd been locked in the room, blood splattered onto the floor,

Left Hand:"Shit!".

D coughed up blood so badly he could barely breath, he heard Zilda's laugh outside.

?:"D! You gotta hold it together! Dracania needs you! You have to get up! You can't die!"

D:"Who are you?"

?:"I can't tell you that, not yet, now, do you want to see Dracania grow up fatherless?"

D:"No I-"

D coughed up more blood. He crumpled to the ground, he couldn't breath it was to hard and he'd lost so much blood.

?:"Then drink your blood and release your true nature!"

D:"No, I can't"

?:"What?! What do you mean 'no'? Your true self could help you escape!".

D stood coughing so badly, but he had to escape, He slamed agenst the door. He slamed agenst it again making the hinges come lose, he crumpled to the ground. He was so weak, he could barely stand now,

?:"You see! Your weak! Now do it! You idiot!".

D passed out, he was so weak and had lost so much blood it was a miracale he still lived.
