The night was cool and wet. It had been raining the last few hours. A young girl soaked to her core tried to take shelter where she could to keep dry. Her deep blue eyes were tired, like the rest of her body. She had recently run away from the only place she knew as home. The orphanage where she was her whole life was now like a distant memory, in miles at least. She found herself in a new place with hardly anything left of her own. She saw in the distance a house, bigger than the building that housed her before. She slowly made her way there, in hopes of finding a change of clothes and maybe some food.

Just like most evenings, he parted from his wife with a kiss after the sun was set, then dressed in his suit and coat and left the mansion, stepping though the vast marble hallway, out into the streets of the Gullsbrough district. It was raining heavily outside. Not the right weather for a walk out in the streets. Thus he decided to take the public transit to nearby Bullwood and then head towards the Caverns.

Unsure of herself or where she was headed, the young girl cautiously made her way further in the new surroundings. Stopping every so often to rest and to hide from...well everything. It was getting harder to keep her eyes focused as her body grew more weary. She took a breath and huddled what she had close as she pushed herself onward. She collected little scraps of paper and anything else she thought may be useful along the way to her intended target. Her pockets were getting fuller by the minute it seemed as her stomach felt more empty. She pressed on and arrived just on the outside of the house. It looked more like a castle than an average house. Something she heard of many times in the books she read and the stories told to her as a child. Someone important lived here she thought.

There was a camera in the entrance of the Villa Broussard. A necessary measure, considering how often uninvited guests wandered into the house, sneaking around in Pat's home. He had almost reached the caverns now, the collar of his coat pulled up to protect him from the rough weather. He had to walk through the wilderness for a while to reach the entry to the gemstone caverns.

Her steps took her quietly as she could muster around the place. She was looking for some opening, afraid to actually try the front door. She did not want to be turned away or worse yet, be invited in only to be sent back to the orphanage she hated so. Carefully she walked around, hiding to avoid detection, when she thought she heard noise. She found she back door that seemed easy enough to get passed. She gently opened it to snake inside. She carefully entered trying not to make a sound. Once inside, she surveyed her surrounding to see what she might do while here. She headed into what seemed to be a family room.

Now finally, he was out of the rain again, and inside the Caverns, that secluded place its rare gems and dangerous foes from the realm of the fae. Pat readied his weapons as he entered the place, knowing that behind every corner a deadly jorugumo could lurk, eager to kill him. But instead his phone rang. An alarm, in his mansion. He had placed sensors and cameras not only on the main entry but in all possible entries and doorways. And now it seems someone was sneaking in through the back door.

Her eyes grew bigger as she looked around. Who ever lived here was well off indeed. She tried not to touch anything, afraid of breaking something. She found a chair and sat down before thinking she would ruin it with her wet and tattered clothes. Her eyes closed to rest and before she knew it, she was asleep.

With superhuman speed, he moved back to the mansion, hoping to catch the invader before they left again. He was eager to teach whoever to intrude his property a lesson, his gun, readied seconds ago to hunt jorugumos, still in his hand. It's been some time since Patrice last that visited the rooms in the back of the mansion. This section had been planned as a gathering place for the Broussard family. But he hadn't heard from his brothers and sisters for a long time now. Even longer than usual.

A noise jolted the girl awake. She shifted in the chair as she got up and almost fell over. She moved to hide hoping she would not be found. She dove behind the chair and crouched as low as she could. Her breath and heartbeat were fast. Her hands rose to keep herself quiet.

Pancho was in the house. That was good. But as usual Pat's human servant most have been dozing or playing on his guitar in the home owner's absence. He gave Patrice a sleepy and confused look, as the vampire walked into the hall. But Pat had no time to waste. With a few gestures, he instructed Pancho to pull his gun and guard the main entrance, then he sneaked outside again, this time moving very quietly toward the back entrance.

The girl looked around, waiting to be discovered. When no one came, she let out a small sigh and decided to head back outside the way she came. She made her way towards the door and out the back quietly as she could. As she finished closing the door behind her she turned to make a run for it.

He arrived there just in time to spot the intruder slipping out of the door. Had she seen him coming yet? It didn't seem so. Would she see him coming at all? Certainly not. He concentrated for a moment and turned invisible, blending with the shadows, as he moved closer to her swiftly.

She gathered her ragged coat around her and started running. She did not seem to know exactly what she was doing as she headed away from the house and into the night. She stumbled a little in her footing and fell. A curse word followed as she picked herself up and looked to the sky as if an apology was made to someone unseen. She moved again and hid behind a tree to catch her breath.

She ran fast. But soon she was out of breath. So typical for a human. Their lack of stamina made them so vulnerable. He sneaked around the tree now, to stand behind her as he spoke, "hiding from someone?"

She jumped at the voice and turned to see who was there. Her body shook and she almost fell again. She had been caught. Her worse fear of being returned just came to the forefront. Her eyes blinked as she answered, "Please... I.... wait who's there?"

Now it was the time to step out of the shadows. Standing behind her he tapped her on her shoulder, becoming visible again before she could turn. "Here I am."

Turning she saw a man, taller than her. She blinked and almost fell to her knees. "I didn't steal anything.... "

"So you claim" he replied, even though his cameras had already told him that she was right. "What did you do in my home then?"

Her teeth chattered as she replied, "I.. I did nothing... I was just trying to find a place to get warm, to rest." She wiped her face and tried to stop shaking from the cold. "Honest.. I fell asleep and then left... Please mister, don't send me back...I can't go back to the orphanage."

“Yeah sure" he replied, having a good look at the girl in her ragged clothes now. Quite a contrast to his coat and black suit. Something inside him felt sorry for her, remembering what his parents told him about charity. But on the other hand there also was his determination to protect what was his and his will not to let any intruder get away.

She backed away a little and sighed. "Look...I did not mean any harm. You can check my pockets if you don't believe me." She let out a sneeze and wiped her nose on her sleeve. "Just...don't send me back. I can't go back to the nuns... they will beat me for running away." The girl was trying not to cry but you could see the genuine fear in her eyes.

Nuns? He raised his eyebrow. She seemed seriously afraid though. Even more of them then of him. Finally he growled softly, after a few moments of reflection, "I will give you a chance to make up for the wrong you did" he said, "its never a good thing to break into other people's property."

She let out a sigh and nodded. "I am sorry. I don't think I broke anything but I will do whatever you wish to make it up to you." She tried to curtsey and breathed some. "I came through the back, it was unlocked." She cast her eyes down a moment.

Pancho again. It was obviously, that it was the human's fault that the back door at not been locked. The man liked to sit on the veranda and play his guitar and more often then not he forgot to lock the door when bad weather or his duties drove him back in. "I will find something for you to do" He told her.

"I can clean, cook, and... I am sure whatever you wish I will learn fast." She nodded "Oh... my name is Emily." She thought for a moment, "Sir... what do I call you?"

"My name is Patrice" he replied. Clean, cook..., these skills sounded useful, he'd sure find a task for her.

She smiled a little. "Nice to meet you sir... Patrice" In her mind, Emily wondered why he had a girls name but gave a shrug at the thought. "Would it be too much trouble ....That is if its okay, that I can get a bath and some dry clothes Patrice?"
