Alexander Greyson walked into his study and made a fire in his fireplace. His study was big with a desk opposite the door, black curtains covering the large square windows, and long sofa...arm chair thing. Alexander Greyson was pacing back and forth as Renfield walked in. Renfield closed and locked the door behind him. Renfield said, "Mr. Harker will be here in the morning, sir."

Alexander Greyson looked over to Renfield and said in his British accent, "Thank you, Renfield.

"Why do you need him? Is it about the girl?"

"Yes, Renfield. It's time she...has a home."

"You mean a permanent home? Am I to assume you're going to try and find a way to adopt her?"

Alexander Greyson looks at him, very confused. "What do you mean, by try to find a way?"

Renfield started to get uneasy. "I did a little digging sir. In order to, as you say, adopt the girl...you...you..."

Alexander Greyson was growing impatient and angrily yelled, "OUT WITH IT RENFIELD!"

Renfield was shaken, but kept poise. Renfield quickly replied, "You need to be in the order or her birth paren...I have an idea sir."

Alexander Greyson walked over to him and patted him on the back. "You never let me down, Renfield. Now, let's discuss Mr. Harker's arrival. I'm positive he won't come alone."

Next morning at around 8:30 A.M. M woke up. M was extremely hazy from the night before, but still decided to get up and walk around. She walked over to the door, opened it, and stepped out into the hall. As the door slammed behind her, another door opened and it sounded like it came from downstairs. M turned left and went down the hall. At the end of the hall was a big, tall, and long open room, with an overlook to the bottom half of the room and a partially opened door on the bottom half. Also on the bottom half of the room, was Alexander Greyson and the one man she didn't want to see, Mr. Harker. Alexander Greyson saw her and said, in an American accent, "Ah, Miss Mayeura. How do you feel this morning? I've just been telling Mr. Harker how I found you."

M just nodded and got incredibly uneasy, but little did M know, Alexander Greyson noticed it. As M walked down the stairs, Mr. Harker was glaring at her and M saw another man outside the door and remembered his name, Van Helsing. How M knew Van Helsing, is an entirely different story.

Once M was at the bottom of the stairs, Mr. Harker came charging her direction, but couldn't get close enough to grab her as Alexander Greyson stepped right in front of M. M backed up 2 stairs and tried to not look scared. Mr. Harker, somewhat pissed off said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Greyson, but I need to take M home."

M tried very hard to hold back from laughing, as did Alexander Greyson. Alexander Greyson nicely replied, "Your welcome, Mr. Harker, but I'm afraid Miss Mayeura will be staying here with me. If you're confused as to what I mean, I'm going to adopt her."

M looked just as surprised as Mr. Harker. Mr. Harker replied, frustrated, "But you...fine. I'll go with Professor Helsing and return later with the paperwork."

Alexander Greyson lifted his right eyebrow as Mr. Harker mentioned Van Helsing; as did M.

Mr. Harker turned around and walked out the door and closed the door behind him. Alexander Greyson turned around to face M, who was trying to not laugh and look scared at the same time, and he said, "If that is ok with you."

M hesitated before answering because she had never had a permanent home, but quickly said, "Yes, thank you...if you don't mind me asking, why?"

Alexander Greyson sat down on the step before the floor, M say down next to him, and he said, "I have a feeling about you M. May I call you that?"

"Yes."

"Excellent."

"This doesn't have anything to do with my father does it?"

Alexander Greyson lifted his right eyebrow ever so slightly. "Yes, it has everything to with that. Now, why don't you go into the kitchen and find something to eat while I talk to Renfield."

"Who?"

"Renfield, sorry, I probably should've mentioned him earlier. His is my friend and..."

Alexander Greyson was cut off as Renfield walked in and said, "Employee. Miss, if you go through to the door behind me, you'll find a breakfast, which I have prepared for you."

"Thank you...Renfield?", M said as she went through the door.

Renfield closed the door as Alexander Greyson stood up. Renfield said, "Are you sure sir?"

Alexander Greyson replied in his British accent, but very quietly, "We'll not discuss this here. Mayeura can hear better than average people. Let's go to my study."

Renfield and Alexander Greyson walk to Alexander Greyson's study and once inside, close the door and the curtains. Alexander Greyson turns to the right just inside his study, as a table is there with alcohol and cups on the left side of the table, and he pours himself some brandy. Renfield said, "I don't believe the girl is ready, sir. That is to know..."

Alexander Greyson turned to face Renfield and in his British accent said, "I'm not going to tell her, just yet. Also her name is Mayeura and if you can't pronounce it, call her M."

"I also don't think it's a good idea to "adopt" her. That will show London, that after 2 years of being "deathly ill", you're ready to go back out in broad daylight."

"That's not my fault. Van Helsing did it and because if him I lost everything; Mina, ability to walk in daylight, and the loyalty of my workers."

At that moment, both Renfield and Alexander Greyson looked at each other in the eye, but both quickly looked away. Renfield said, "I'm sorry sir. The gi...M makes me feel uncomfortable. She is not...excuse me sir, normal."

Alexander Greyson walked over to the chair behind his desk, sat down, brandy in hand, and said, "I know more about Mayeura than you think. Now, if we are finished here, go and check on Mayeura. She may wander the house and if she goes into the basement, follow her. While I prepare to sign forms and pretend Van Helsing and I have only met briefly."

With that Renfield walked out.

•••

Once M had finished the breakfast that Renfield had made for her, M decided to wander the house, but didn't know Renfield was following her.

M had wandered the house for about an hour and found nothing of interest until now. M had found the basement of Alexander Greyson's house. Once M walked into the basement completely, first thing she noticed was the big generator, which wasn't being used anymore, a table like thing, well it is a table but it had bars with open space between them. Right in front of the table like thing, was a big mechanical "arm", with needles at the end of it, above it was a window covered with a big black curtain at about a 120 degree angle, from and above the table. Then to M's left is a table and right behind the table was a silver cabinet and a fireplace. M walked over to the fire place, as she saw a couple pieces or burned paper. M bent down just in front of the fire place and picked up the papers. Written on the paper was something she recognized from when she first met Van Helsing; it was the daylight formula for vampires. M stood up, rushed to the table in front of her, put the pieces of papers down on the desk, and started organizing them; while frantically searching for a pen or pencil. Luckily, there was one And M started working, as she knew the formula from when she actually liked Van Helsing.

Meanwhile, Renfield and Alexander Greyson were watching her, but M wouldn't notice unless she turned around and went up the stairs a little. Renfield whispered ever so quietly, "Sir, she, she...you knew that she knew the formula. That's why you wanted me to follow her."

Alexander Greyson smiled and whispered, "Yes, I did. Van Helsing, Mayeura, the Order, even you, didn't know that I've been keeping an eye in Mayeura. I've been keeping her as safe as I can and interested parties off her scent. You don't think I'd leave her unprotected, do you?"

"Well, in truth sir, I did not think you cared for M...," Alexander Greyson grabbed Renfield by the shirt, "But I can see now, that's not true. Sorry sir, you don't really talk about her. I agree it was a bad assumption on my part."

Alexander Greyson let him go and said, "Yes, yes it was, but understandable. Also, I do not speak of her because all I feel is regret, pain, and anger."

Neither of them spoke the rest of the time M was solving the daylight formula.
