Dracania looked suspicious as she rode up to the town without D anywhere to be seen and a little boy behind her. Wispers went threw the town,

Townsfolk:'Is that D? What happened to him?'.

Dracania dissmounted and Kid D stayed on,

Dracania:"Come on"

Kid D:"No, theres scary people here".

Dracania:"Huh? You know these villagers now come on there your own kind"

Kid D:"My own kind?".

Dracania:"Yes there dhampir's like you, now lets go"

Kid D:"Go where?"

Dracania:"To see Ania"

Kid D:"Ania?".

Dracania:"Yes, now come on!"

Kid D dissmounted apparently he remembered Ania or something told him to follow Dracania's orders.

Ania was puzzled when Dracania walked in without D,

Aina:"Where's your father?".

Dracania:"About that"

Kid D pecked out from behind Dracania,

Aina:"What happened?"

Dracania:"Zilda happened".

Ania approached Kid D but he hid behind Dracania,

Dracania:"It's like he's ten or something".

Kid D only stood up to half his grown size maybe a little taller, he about came to Dracania's shoulders.

Dracania:"Or maybe older, I don't know"

Aina:"Maybe thats how Zilda wants you to think of him"

Dracania sighed,

Dracania:"D this is Ania".

Aina:"Hey"

D stayed behind Dracania,

Dracania:"She's not going to hurt you"

Kid D:"You sure?".

Dracania:"Yes, Aina is very sweet dhampir"

Kid D looked over at Aina then up at Dracania,

Kid D:"Ok".

Kid D stepped out from behind Dracania but shied up and looked at the floor. His hair covered his face, Aina came over and brushed it out of his face,

Aina:"Hello".

Kid D:"I'm D"

Aina:"I know"

Kid D looked so afraid,

Dracania:"Was he like this when he first came? Or was it more kidish?".

Aina:"It's the same more or less"

Dracania:"Well this is interesting"

Aina:"Why?"

Dracania:"This means he knows none of anything he's done".

Aina:"Hmm, what do you remember D?"

Kid D:"Not allot, all I know is my daddy punished me allot and I didn't get to know mommy".

Dracania:"So this is D right after...?"

Aina:"I guess it is"

Kid D:"What are you talking about?"

Aina:"Grown up stuff, ok?"

Kid D:"Ok".

Ania stood,

Aina:"What are we going to do with him? He doesn't know how to hunt or who you are".

Dracania:"I guess I have to face Zilda on my own"

Aina:"But what if he stays like this?"

Dracania:"You realy think that'll happen?".

Aina:"I don't think I know, it's happened before, and there was nothing we could do".

Dracania:"So I have to crawl in on my knees and beg her to change him back? Is that it?".

Aina:"Thats the idea"

Dracania:"Great! Just great! I can't kill her or D stays a freaking kid! Yeah, like I really want to walk around with my father as kid! But you really expect me to just let the bitch have her way?".

Aina:"Language!"

Dracania:"Who cares about language? He's a freaking kid who's probably had allot of stuff done to him, and your complaning about language?".

Aina:"Sorry, I forgot"

Neither noticed that Kid D had left the room

Dracania:"Well somewhere in there is the Hunter we know, that I know, and we've got to get him back! The question is how to get him back."

Aina:"And how will we get him back?".

Dracania:"I don't know"

Dracania sighed,

Aina:"'He' might've be able to help if 'he' was here"

Dracania:"You met 'him'?".

Aina:"Yeah, he was looking for D, I had lied and said we hadn't seen him"

Dracania:"'He' most of been pissed".

Aina:"'He' was"

Dracania:"But 'he's' slain"

Aina:"How do you know that for a fact?"

Dracania:"Because D... oh my god! You're right! I can't believe I didn't see it!".

Aina:"What? Now i'm confused"

Dracania:"'He' cared about humans, did 'he' not?"

Aina:"'He' did".

Dracania:"Exactly! D wouldn't slay someone who has the same goal as him but he'd keep hating him anyways".

Aina:"Oh! So 'he's' out there somewhere?"

Dracania:"I just have to find 'him' and hope 'he' can help".

Aina:"You sure about this?"

Dracania:"You can look after Kid D can't you?"

Aina:"Kid D?".

Dracania:"Yeah, whats wrong with that?"

Aina:"Nothing it's just weird having him being a kid again, and so cute at that".

Dracania:"Where is he?"

Aina:"Oh, he must of layed down while we where talking, I bet he's out cold he's had a rough day I bet"

Dracania:"Ok, good, i'm going".

Aina:"When will you be back?"

Dracania:"That I don't know, I have to find 'him' though".

Aina:"Well good luck"

Dracania:"I'm going to need more than luck, it is 'him' after all"

With that she left.

Aina checked in on Kid D, he was fast asleep she was about to leave when he screamed.

Aina:"D?"

D sat up with a scared look on his face

Aina:"What was it?"

Kid D:"Just a nightmare"

Aina:"A nightmare about what?"

D didn't respond he just staired at Aina scaredly

Kid D:"Can you hold me? I'm scarred"

Aina:"Sure"

Kid D curled up in Aina's lap, he felt cofrotable there for some reason like he'd done it before.

Dracania is just about to leave town, it's the middle of the night, suddenly a black figure rushes past her.

Dracania:"Wait!"

The figure halts,

Dracania:"Your 'him' arn't you?"

Figure:"Who?"

Dracania:"The Sacred Ancestor".

Figure:"So what if I am?"

Dracania:"It's about your son"

'Him':"D?"

The figure sounded shocked and worried

Dracania:"Yeah, have you heard of Zilda?".

'Him':"Yes I use to stay with her"

Dracania:"Well then you must know how to undo her tricks, right?".

'Him':"Maybe"

Dracania:"Well she might have turned D into a kid"

'Him':"How would you know all this?".

Dracania:"I'm his daughter, Dracania"

With that the shadowy figure turned towards Dracania, her breath cought in her throught. 'He' was that gorgeous,

'Him':"I have a grand daughter?"

Dracania:"Yes, that would be me"

'Him':"How?".

Dracania:"He fell inlove with a dhampir"

'Him':"A dhampir? Most of been one hell of a girl"

Dracania:"Well she acted human".

'Him':"Most dhampir's raised in a town are like that"

Dracania:"She lived in this village, her name was Catlin".

'Him':"I think I knew her father, but I guess he's been slain hasn't he?".

Dracania:"It was D's job"

'Him':"That figures, he was a nuscience anyways, but I couldn't get to Zilda".

Dracania:"Why not?"

Dracania:"Oh... it was 'her' wasn't it?"

'Him':"Yes... my greatest weakness was 'her'"

'Him':"She used a person I care dearly about on me and I can't face her ever again".

'He' turned away.

Dracania:"I can show you where D's at"

'Him':"Go on, lead the way, it's been a long time since i've seen him".

They arrived at where Dracania left Kid D and Ania, and entered Ania gasped at the sight of 'him'.

Aina:"It's-"

Him:"Where's my son?"

Aina:"In there"

'He' quickly entered the room Ania had pointed to. Dracania followed 'him' inside, D lay on a bed covered up, fast asleep, he looked so cute.

Dracania:"He looks so cute"

Dracania could of swore 'he' smilled at that,

'Him':"Oh, how I miss watching him sleep".

Dracania:"Why?"

'Him':"Because it was the only time he wasn't asking me a thousand questions".

'He' sounded so sad, like he wished 'he' had treated D better.

'Him':"If I could do all that over again I would"

Dracania:"What would you do differently?".

'Him':"I'd raise him right and not do what I did"

There was a ring of truth to 'his' voice.

Dracania:"So you'd give him his childhood?"

'Him':"Yeah, but I guess I won't get to do that"

Dracania:"I have an idea".

'Him':"What is that?"

Dracania:"He doesn't remember anything but what he knew at eight or nine or whatever".

'Him':"He doesn't know anything but that?"

Dracania:"Yeah, it's kind of strange".

'Him':"That it is, normally Zilda's trick only alters how a person looks or acts, but making them forget is new".

Dracania:"I wander if what we do now will affect anything"

'Him':"Hmm, we could give it a try".

Dracania smilled,

Dracania:"It might be fun"

'Him':"Yeah, I think i'm going to injoy this".

They woke Kid D up,

Kid D:"Whats going- ah!"

'Him':"It's alright I come to apalogize and make it up to you".

Kid D looked so afraid,

'Him':"Can you just give me a chance?"

Dracania:"Just give 'him' a chance, ok?"

Kid D:"O-ok".

Kid D had hid while 'he' had to find him and Dracania had hid as well,

'Him':"Where are you? I'm going to find you!".

'He' found Kid D,

Him:"I found you!"

Kid D laughed and ran,

Kid D:"You'll never catch me!".

Dracania just watched from her spot, they where having so much fun. 'Is this what a childhood looks like?' Dracania wandered, she'd never gotten one really. Kid D ran over to Dracania and hid behind her,

Kid D:"Help me! 'He's' after me!"

Dracania smilled and 'he' got him. And he giggled, Dracania felt left out,

Dracania:"Having fun?"

Kid D:"Yeah!".

Dracania looked sad,

Him:"Whats the matter?"

Dracania:"I never got a childhood really, once I was able to hunt I became a Hunter".

Him:"Really?"

Dracania:"I never played tag, or hide and seek or mirror mirror... I just practiced hunting...".

Him:"Really?"

Dracania:"Yeah, I guess I never really thought about it"

'He' stopped smiling,

'Him':"It would of been the same thing with D...".

'He' fell silent, Dracania was about to say something but couldn't find the words and stayed silent. Kid D toughed at 'his' coat,

Kid D:"I'm hungry"

'Him':"Oh, are you?"

Kid D nodded,

'Him':"Well we better get you something".

'He' looked at Dracania,

'Him':"Well?"

Dracania:"What?"

'Him':"We can't just go out an kill someone".

Dracania:"Right, and you expect me to know what to do?"

'Him':"Yes"

Dracania:"Well i'm clueless".

'Him':"You sure are a weird dhampir"

Dracania:"Thanks for the compliment"

She said sarcasticly

'Him':"Your most welcome"

'He' said grining widely

They had asked Ania about blood packets and she told Deity and she got them one for Kid D.

'Him':"Here"

'He' handed the packet to Kid D,

'Him':"Drink up"

Kid D looked at the packet confused.

'Him':"What is it?"

Kid D looked at 'him' pleadingly

Kid D:"Do I have to?"

'Him':"Yes, if you don't you could become weak and die".

Kid D sighed and drained the packet dry before anyone could say anymore.

'Him':"Better?"

Kid D:"Better"

He looked over at Dracania,

'Him':"You better care for him"

Dracania:"What are you saying?".

'Him':"Well I kind of want to leave him as a kid"

Dracania:"Why?"

'Him':"He never got to be one".

Dracania:"Well he's going with me and he'll be exposed to hunting and still become one".

Him:"Oh alright, go talk with Ania or something i'm not about to share my secrets with you".

Dracania:"Ok, fine"

She left and went to Ania,

Aina:"Whats he doing?"

Dracania:"He's fixing D".

Aina:"You sure 'he'll' do it?"

Dracania:"Yeah, cause either way he'll still become a Hunter".

Aina:"Your right, it's in his blood or something"

That remark stuck in Dracania's mind

Dracania:"Well all dhampir's are stuck being Hunters".

Aina:"Oh yeah thats right, cause it's the only life for our kind"

Dracania:"Well I just hope I can take care of Zilda".

Dracania had gone to bed without seeing if 'he' had done what she had asked of 'him', she was so tired. She figured she would find out in the morning,

A shadowy figure creapt into her room. 'Who was this? And what where they doing?' The shadow creapt towards Dracania, 'what was it's goal?' Fangs sprouted from it's unseen lips ready to bite into something. Red eyes glowed from the shadowy form, it inched closer to Dracania's neck.

At feeling that accursed breath on her neck Dracania sturred softly but moved no more. The shadow's fangs sank into Dracania's neck and she let out a high pitched scream.

'Who had just bit Dracania? Why had they bit her? Could it have been him? Or D? No, D would never do that. But why would 'he' do that? Could it be 'he' was so starved 'he' wanted Dracania's blood?'

Dracania woke up very weak and tired like she hadn't slept in a long time, she could barely stand.

D came in as himself,

Dracania:"I see your back to yourself, do you remember anything?".

D:"No"

He didn't sound convicing, like he actually knew

Dracania:"Oh, ok I guess it was a pointless effort"

D:"What?"

Again like he knew

Dracania:"Nothing, it's just nothing".

D:"Whats wrong with you?"

It was rare for D to ask others how they fell, but then again this was his daughter he was adressing.

Dracania:"I don't know"

Dracania had slumped agenst the wall weakly.

Dracania:"I just woke up-"

She was rubbing her neck, then she felt them there on her neck.

Dracania:"I think I might know"

D:"What?"

Dracania moved her hand and showed D the marks.

Dracania:"Think it was 'him'?"

D:"It was"

Dracania:"Why would 'he' drink my blood?"

Left Hand:"Maybe because 'he' is weak minded around virgin blood?".

Dracania:"Could be, I fell like I haven't slept in decades, so this is what it feels like to be bit by 'him' I guess".

D:"Only to you maybe"

Dracania:"I'm so freaking lightheaded I can barely stand".

Dracania:"You have to stay up, you can't fall asleep or you won't be able to wake up"

Dracania:"Damn, this sucks".

Dracania never cursed,

Dracania:"I don't get to sleep? But i'm so tired!"

And she never complained.

D:"Like I said, you might not be able to get up again, sometimes thats the case with being bit".

Dracania:"But how will I do anything now?"

D:"You can't your to weak"

Dracania:"But you need my help! You can't take Zilda on yout own!".

D:"I'll have to try"

D sounded so sure of himself, Dracania grunted with annoyence.

D:"I'm sorry Dracania but you're in no condition to help me, especially after being bit by 'him'".

Dracania:"Fine, but what can I do here to stay awake?"

D:"Figure it out"

With that D left.

A little after someone knocked on her door,

Dracania:"Who is it?"

Aina:"It's Aina, D said you where suppose to stay awake so I come to help".

Dracania:"Come in"

Dracania was sitting on the bed with her scarf pulled over the marks.

Aina:"So... are you going to tell me why your so weak all of the sudden?"

Dracania:"No"

Aina:"Ok, you don't have to".

Dracania sighed,

Dracania:"You can't do anything to help me, only D can".

Aina:"Why not?"

Dracania just glanced at Aina breafly,

Dracania:"Because"

Aina:"Because?"

Dracania sighed,

Dracania:"You just can't".

Aina:"You look drained of blood, did he...?"

Dracania:"Who? D? D would never bite me!".

Aina:"Not D, you know.. 'him'"

Dracania:"Lets just say 'he' did what would you do?".

Aina:"I'd do my best to keep you awake"

Dracania:"Well then, it was 'him', 'he' bit me"

Dracania pulled her scarf down.

Aina ghasped a little,

Aina:"I thought..."

Dracania:"That I was lying? Well I never lie as you can see".

Aina:"How could this have happened?"

Dracania shrugged and left the marks exposed. She didn't want to think about it, she was just happy it hadn't been D.

Aina:"Well I guess your stuck with that"

Dracania:"Yep, this is just great"

Aina:"Hey it doesn't change who you are".

Dracania:"Well I feel like it did"

Aina:"Your still D's daughter nothing can change that".

Dracania:"Yeah..."

She rarely doughted people

Aina:"And he will love you no matter what happens to you"

Dracania:"I can tell, he took it so easily".

Aina:"Hmph"

Dracania:"Normally he'd cringe at the mention of 'him' but he seemed kind of ok with it".

Aina:"Maybe he accepts 'him' now?"

Dracania:"Well I thought 'him' bitting me would make D pissed".

Aina:"He's not that kind of person and you know it"

Dracania:"I know but I can't shake that feeling now".

Dracania sighed and leaned agenst the wall,

Dracania:"So... got anything intertaining to do?".

D rushed to Zilda's castle, he had left in such a hurry it seemed her didn't carea about Dracania.

Dispite her being weak he had a job to do and he wouldn't rest till he had finished it.

Left Hand:"You're really going to leave her in the condition she's in? What if 'he' comes back?".

D didn't respond,

Left Hand:"She could be killed by 'him!' I hope you realize that! And it'll be your fault!".

They had tried everything to keep Dracania intertained but nothing worked,

Aina:"Well thats all we can do".

Dracania:"And nothing is as intertaining as hunting"

Aina:"See thats your problem you like hunting to much".

Dracania:"Well you kind of have to if your a Hunter, and the greatest Hunters daughter".

Dracania chuncked a dart at the dart board and it stuck into the last one she had thrown. She'd thrown tweelve darts and they all hid dead center and had stuck into each other, she chucked a thirtenth one.

She was so board of hitting the mark every time,

Dracania:"I need something exciting to do".

Aina:"Theres nothing exciting here to do"

Dracania:"Thats just great"

She chucked another dart. She was so bored she wanted to pass out, but then she remembered what D had said.

D:'If you fall asleep you can't wake up'

Dracania groaned she was getting so bored.

Aina:"You want to practice hunting?"

Dracania:"I thought I wasn't allowed to hunt"

Aina:"Well it's just practice".

Dracania:"You? Agenst me? You sure about that?"

Aina:"Yes"

Dracania:"You do know i'm twice as strong as D, right?".

Aina"Well not right now you're more at his level"

Dracania:"Still you think you can take me on?".

Aina:"I don't think I can take you on Dracania, I know I can take you on, how about it?"

Dracania:"Alright. You're on".
