Chapter Fifteen.

 

 

Ryo looked curiously at all the kids who came running for Dee yelling his name. The older of the kids came to a stop right in front of him but the younger one's ran straight into him and he nearly fell from the force of the impact on his legs. The kids were all talking at the same time.

 

“Hey Dee! We missed you. Did you miss us?”

 

“Why don't you come visit us more often?”

“Hey are those our Christmas gifts? Let us see!”

 

“Could we get our gifts early Dee?”

 

“Dee when are we gonna get to ride in your police car? You said we could sometime.”

 

“Dee who's that?”

 

“Dee come play with us.” Ryo had to laugh when he saw that display.

 

“Hey would you all please pipe down? Jeez. You're making my ears bleed you brats.” Dee roared but the children only laughed at him and they did stop yelling at least.

 

“Listen carefully now, for I'll only say this once. Why would I ever miss a bunch of annoying brats like you? You all know that I'm too busy to run around here all the time. Yes these are your gifts and NO you can't see them and you most certainly won't get them early. And sometime you will but not tonight. I don't play.” He answered all of the questions as he glanced between them to the faces that asked. Ryo realized that Dee must be used to this situation.

 

“ And about this man here, he is a very special friend of mine and his name is Randy. You will all be nice to him.” Dee glared at the kids who seemed to turn him out and look at the smiling man called Randy.

 

“Hello Randy!” the children yelled in unison and where about to start questioning him like they had Dee but where all silenced by a loud woman's voice coming from the building.

“What are all of you doing outside? Supper is ready and waiting.” Ryo turned to see an elderly lady, no scratch that, an elderly nun approaching them. The children all looked at her and ran inside laughing and giggling. Well all except for four of the older children who took it upon themselves to push on Ryo and Dee to get inside. When they reached the steps leading to the doorway they met the nun.

 

“ So you finally decided to pay us a visit again? I was beginning to think you had forgotten about this place.” She smiled at Dee.

 

“ As if I could ever forget you penguin.” Dee smirked behind the boxes.

 

“How many times do I have to tell you to call me mother?” She turned and looked Ryo in the eyes. He could see a strange look on her face as their eyes met but it disappeared as fast as it appeared. He probably had the same look himself as he laid eyes on the small pendant hanging from a bracelet on her wrist. The look was that of recognition, which they both shared. He felt himself get more guarded but held his smile.

 

“And who might this young man be then?” She asked smiling pleasantly. At that Dee smiled and answered.

 

“This is a very dear friend of mine. His name is Randy McLean. Randy this is the head nun of this orphanage, Mother Maria Lane.” They both smiled and said their hello's then Mother Lane turned towards the door and said, “Well why won't you boys come in? Don't just stand there like a bum Dee. Bring the boxes inside. I'm sure your friend wants to put those boxes down now.”

 

They all went inside and the four kids who had been attached to the two men ran in a different direction after a stern reminder about supper from Mother Lane. After they put the boxes away, Mother Lane suggested they get coffee. The men agreed and followed Mother Lane down the hall. Ryo was still confused as to what this place was to Dee but he knew he would get an explanation in due time.

 

Soon they arrived at a big room that was obviously a playroom for the kids. Big enough to play small games of soccer and things like that. In one corner of the room there was a recreation area for the adults to drink coffee or just keep an eye on the kids.

 

There was two couches standing there, one three-seat and one two-seat. Mother Lane motioned for the men to sit in the two-seat while she went over to the coffee machine and while it brewed she brought the cups to them.

 

“Hey Penguin, am I right to assume that you won't put any sugar on this table?” Dee looked at her where she turned off the machine.

 

“It's mother and of course not. You where always too difficult to handle even without the sugar rushes.” She came over and poured the coffee for them all and sat down. Dee looked annoyed at not getting any sugar.

 

“So Randy, has Dee told you everything about this place?” She looked pleasantly at him. Ryo smiled back.

 

“No, actually he's told me nothing at all.” He looked at Dee with an annoyed look.

 

“I could have guessed. Dee you really are too lazy to do anything.”

 

“Well relax and let me tell him then. Jeez.” He sat back and drank his coffee as he told Ryo what this place was.

 

“Well let's begin with penguin here. She's my mother in everything but blood. I grew up in this orphanage and she was already the head nun back then. So she had the largest part of my upbringing. So after I was old enough to leave here, I always come back at all big holidays to help out with things. You remember how I told you about my old friend Aaron? He also grew up here.” Ryo looked very surprised at this new information.

 

So yeah he hadn't ever heard Dee talk about family but to think he was an orphan.

 

“And I know it's not yet the days before Christmas but I love to tease the kids by coming here with their gifts and placing them in a room with full access to them so that they can see them. But they dare not touch them. Heh. It sure is fun.” Dee chuckled amusedly while Mother Lane sighed.

 

“Where this boy got his sense of morality I'll never know. I always tried to raise my children to be honest and kind but this one is an annoyance at best.” Ryo laughed lightly at Dee's disgruntled look.

 

“Well even though he is like this a lot of the time I really do think you did a very good job on him.” Ryo smiled at Dee who actually blushed a little with a surprised look.

 

“Heh. You know you love me anyway Penguin.”

 

“It's Mother Dee. It's not that hard to say.” They sat there talking for a while and after maybe 20 minutes children started to appear in the room and within five minutes they had managed to drag Dee away from a laughing Ryo and a smiling Nun. Now the two could see Dee running around with a bunch of kids in tow.

 

Now they looked at each other, the smiles wiped away. Mother Lane looked sternly at Ryo who met her stare with a calm face.

 

“You are a vampire.” She began and it wasn't a question.

 

“And you are a hunter.” Ryo answered in the same low tone as her. She looked down at the small pendant and nodded.

 

“Ah yes. Not in active duty off course. I'm way to old to be patrolling and besides I have this place to tend to. I haven't been hunting actively for at least 20 years now, but make no mistake in thinking I'm too old to protect my family.” She told him sternly and Ryo watched her with guarded eyes. No he would never underestimate this woman. She had a fire to her eyes he would never challenge. Not that the thought would ever appear in his head.

 

“Please Mother Lane. I know you might not believe me because of what I am but I would never ever do anything to hurt Dee or any of these children here.” Their eyes met and after a few moments she replied.

 

“Yes your eyes speak of the truth of your words. You seem to be holding on to your human emotions. However the fact still remains that you are a vampire and as such I will still tell you this. If you in anyway hurt Dee or any of his or my loved ones I will come after you, old or not.” They still held the eye contact but now they shone with a kind of understanding.

 

“Trust me, if I ever hurt Dee I will come to you myself.” Now Mother Lane smiled again.

 

“I will keep you to your word.” They looked over to the playing kids and saw a heap of them piled close to the opposite wall. It seemed that they had all thrown themselves at Dee. The two turned back to their discussion.

 

“He really likes you Randy.” At Ryo's surprised and slightly curious look she said.

 

“Trust me. Any mother would know by the way their children look at a person they feel deeply for. Dee has that look. Plus he never brought anyone here presenting them to me. That to me is a sign that he want's me to meet you so you have to be important to him. But the question still remains, how do you feel about him?” Ryo, who was now blushing slightly and feeling kinda shy, all thoughts of hunters and vampires gone.

 

Ryo somehow felt at ease around her. She had a calming air about her. Well she was a nun after all.

 

“I don't know. I'm so confused. These feelings I have for Dee are completely new to me and I really don't know how to handle them.” Now he looked so lost as if pleading with her to lead him down the right path.

 

“Yes I understand that you're confused right now but please don't worry yourself to much. Just relax and it will be fine in the end. But please be wary of the darkness that will try to take over that innocent heart of yours.” Ryo looked wide-eyed at her. She really did know about vampires' inner battles.

 

“Just be careful and take care of Dee. He deserves to have happiness in his life. He's had it tough. He might seem strong but he truly is a very fragile person.” Ryo smiled.

 

“Yes I promise to do my very best.”

 

“But if the day would come and you feel that you're falling, leave him and never go near him again.” She said in a soft but warning tone. Ryo nodded in understanding. Ryo was very surprised at the moment. He never thought he would meet a hunter and actually live to tell the tale. To think that she even accepted him together with one of her children was just unbelievable. But he had seen it in her look when she spoke of Dee liking him. She did accept it.

 

Now they sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes until she asked him to tell her of how they met and about their dates. Blushing like mad Ryo told her of it. Soon Dee came up and they all saw it was late. Mother Lane told the youngest children left to go make ready for bed, then the adult trio went for the door and told their good-byes.

 

“Now Dee remember to come here again soon. You to Randy. Now you kids be good.”

 

“Hey I'm definitely not a kid anymore Penguin. I can take care of myself. Bye now.”

 

“It was nice meeting you Mother Lane. Good bye.” She smiled and waved at him.

 

“Yeah Bye now Penguin.” They both turned and left. Mother Lane smiled sighing in exasperation and said quietly to herself.

 

“It's mother Dee.”

Thankies my lovely reviewers for all the awesome comments…

AN. Okay People I'm finally back with another chapter. It's not long and it really doesn't happen much. It's another one of those filler chapters I'm afraid.

I have no real good excuse for my being so late really.

I am suffering from writer's block at the moment and have been for the past two-month's.

I'm gonna re-read the entire thing this weekend to try and get back my inspiration.

And the fact is that this is not my job so I make no money of it. And I've been struggling to find a new job both here on the iland where I live, on the mainland and even over in Norway.

But on the upper hand the family problem we had is better, but not 100% solved yet.

So sadly my writings can't get top priority at the moment.

 

From the beginning I had planned to be done with the entire story by Christmas but that didn't work out at all. But I will work hard in order to get this finished, I won't rush it though. That would only make the story bad.

Well enough of that now so back to the chapter at hand…er…computer?… … O.o….

Anyway.

I know this chapter was very slow and nothing much happened except a revelation or two about Mother Lane and Dee. I just thought it cool to make her a hunter, that part seems to fit her somehow, being a woman of the church and all.

 

And yeah before everyone starts hounding me down, I'll just explain a little detail.

I can see what you are thinking… What about the crosses?… Well some might think so anyway. Some commented on that already in the last chapter.

Well I'm going with the theory from Anne Rice's stories. In her work's vampires are not hurt by crosses or crucifixes.

 

That's about it I guess. I'll stop my rambling now and upload this chapter for you all.

I hope you like it however it turned out.

 

Well Until next time.
