Rachel sipped her steaming mug of hot chocolate. She was trying to stay awake without Caffene. This was her only substitute that came close. She didn't want to have to call this meeting, but this was getting out of hand. What on earth could cause a vampire to become so reckless? She glanced at her watch, waiting for any of the other Protettores to come and step in.

Valerie walked inside the hall, a frown on her face. It looked like she wasn't the last person to get here like the last couple of times. She really didn't want to make Rachel angry again so she had made sure to get here as quickly as she possibly could... even with her ankle. She limped up to the closest seat and sat down. She had came because she had wanted to prove how strong she was and how a little injury wouldn't bother her. She still felt like she was treatedlike a child at times because she still had a couple more months until she would complete her training.
She just had a small bone fracture in her ankle. One of the minuses of spending so much time in the forest was that it could be very dangerous. She had fallen from a low branch on a tree and she hadn't landed properly. She made it to the hospital quickly, gotten her ankle bandaged up and she was fine now. Well, except for her limp. She was partly hoping that no one would notice that. She thought of it as a temperary weakness. She hated having any weaknesses, and she felt so bad whenever she found out she had a new one.
She looked up at Rachel who looked very sleepy and was drinking coffee. No, it was hot chocolate, Val could smell it. She smiled, she hadn't had a nice cup of hot chocolate in so long but right now she would love a coffee. She had become dependant on caffeine over the past few years, it was almost an addiction now. She metally laughed at herself.
"Hey Rachel!" she greeted and waved. She wondered what the meeting was for but she knew she would find out if she waited. |

With somewhat of a forced breath, Neil looked upwards at the main building of the Protettore Hall. His eyes scanned the area with a calm, meticulous manner that one gives a anything they had never seen but always suspected of being grand. The dark haired Protettore had never been to the actual sight of the Hall until now due to circumstances in the far east, but now that he had a chance to see the entire building, Neil allowed himself to stop and look at it for a few split seconds. Resuming himself after a moment, Neil started up the steps and walked into the main hallway. The blast of cold air that convened across Neil's face was somewhat of a surprise, but he walked in without any version of complaint. There were several Protettore wandering....no more or less walking to certain places they needed to go. Nodding to himself, Neil looked down at the paper he had been given and then up at the hallway once more. The rooms themselves appeared all the same, but the numbers on each doors signified what lay behind them.
Being more or less instructed by his father, Neil had come to the Protettore hall to explain a few mishaps that had occurred in Japan as well as Korea. It appeared as though several hunters had managed to round up a large portion of the werewolves hidden in the city of Tokyo and were now slaughtering them all. Determined to speak about bringing more Protettore into the are in order to preserve the populations of werewolves that remained in the area, Neil had come to the Protettore Hall.
There was a strange silence that encompassed the Hall which made for both a peaceful setting and an eerie feeling. Pushing the latter of the two notions away from his thoughts, Neil continued down the hallway with his sandals half clicking on the tiled floor. Finally making a corner and finding the room that was supposedly the main meeting area, Neil stared at the door for a full moment before finally taking hold of the door handle. There could be many ways to proceed..... was the only thought that had managed to appear within Neil's mind at the moment, but as he entered, Neil relaxed a few degrees and looked into the room.
The room itself was more of a business room with a large table and many chairs pushed under it. Neil's eye moved about the room and found two faces, one of which Neil recognized from a photo as being Rachel Carlyle the current leader of the Protettore. The other was a face that Neil was unsure of, but he continued inwards anyways.
"Miss Carlyle," Neil began as he entered suddenly breaking off for a split moment. "Are you busy?" |

Rachel looked up at the voice. She recognized him from the file she had looked at when accepting him as a protettore. She smiled tiredly at him. She had met his parents when she was younger and studying with her grandfather. She suddenly wish she had the time to meet all of the protettores individually and get to know them better. But, alas, she didn't have the time. In between her normal job, her job as the protettore leader, and being an adopted mom, she was swamped with work 24/7 and nearly never had time to relax. Hence the caffeine addiction she had developed and was currently trying to break. "Sure, Niel, have a seat." She took another long drink from her hot chocolate. "How can I help you?"

Chasity strolled in, her hands in her pockets, and her face schooled. She had just down a bottle of vodka before coming, since it was the only way she could deal with a protettore meeting, and was also fingering the package of cigarettes that were tucked into her front pocket. Despite being closer to the drunk side then the tipsy side of things, she walked without stumbling, and in a straight-line in an awesome feat.
Coming into the door, she rose an eyebrow at the asian, but then took a seat a little farther down from Val, and looked between the three of them. "Cheery day, eh?" She noticed the slight grimace on the girl closest to her's face, and wondered about it for a second before looking at Rachel. "I'm on time, aren't I?" She tended to ignore people that were younger then her, unless they had an authority, like Rachel.

"I've come from the far east sector of the Protettore to explain that there has been a travesty as of late. Hunters have moved into Tokyo and are hunting right out in the city night life. More and more people are seeing instances of werewolves and vampires as the hunters round them up, and we simply don't have enough people to stop this," Neil finished somewhat tensely and forced himself to relax again. "I hope I have not intruded or added to any former stress or ailment Miss Carlyle." He made a sharp and respectful bow before standing straight upwards again with his arms still by his side.

Rachel's eyes followed Chasity for a split second as she walked in. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted the cigarette box in her front pocket. She had strict rules about smoking in Protettore Hall, and they were not going to change now. Without taking her eyes off of Niel, she reached out and deftly took the cigarettes from Chastity's pocket. She ignored the cheery hello from Chastity, and turned her attention back to Niel. "I've heard the reports. In fact, I've been flooded with e-mails about it. In fact, that's exactly what we're going to discuss today in the meeting." She gestured to the chair next to her, "Why don't you stay? And no, Chastity, you are not late, but if I catch you bringing cigarettes into the Hall again, you will not be allowed to come inside, understand?"

"They were just in my pocket, geez," Chasity said, her voice showing her annoyance as she held the package of cigs out to Rachel so she could take them. She had another back in the car, not that it mattered even if she didn't, she could just go buy another if needed. But it was the point that she had to give them up in the first place that screwed her face into a very unhappy look. She crossed her legs and looked between the three again.

Neil's eye moved over the entire strange event with Chasity and Rachel for a moment before he shook his head again. "If it would be fine with you, then I will stay," he answered back slowly moving forwards and taking the back of his chair with one hand and then slowly pulling it forwards before sitting down. His motions were fluid and yet strained at the same time.

Valerie watched as a guy she didn't know walked into the room. He looked older than her but still young and she took a guess he might be from Japan. She smiled kindly at him then rested her head on the table. She heard Rachel call him Neil, she might talk to him later but she was thinking of sleeping after the meeting. She might be able to find a bed somewhere in the hall or she would go straight back to Tasmania. She could stay awake until she got home. he lifted her head off the table as she heard another set of footsteps enter the hall.
It was a girl this time and she hadn't met her either though she had a feeling she may have seen her around before. She didn't look like a nice person to know though. She looked a little drunk and Val could smell the alcohol on her breath from where she was sitting when the girl spoke. She frowned and saw Rachel take the sigarette packet from her. She felt like laughing at the girls attempt at bringing the horrible things into the hall.
Val then listened as Neil explained why he was here. It did not sound good and it worried Val when she heard about things like that. She started to chew on her fingernail, a habit she had gained only recently. "Good to find out why I'm here," she mumbled, fighting the urge to rsst her head on the table again. |

Sanni had woken up in a bad mood, she'd frowned as she got out of bed and quickly got dressed. She searched the first floor for Rachel but had found herself alone which put her in a worst mood. After walking downstairs she had started her search for Rachel. She was right now looking in every room she passed but getting more annoyed everytime she didn't find her. She finally got to the meeting room and with the door open she saw Rachel sitting at the head of the table. She smiled and ran inside. She saw two other girls and a boy. She smiled and waved at the three of them then ran up to Rachel. "Hi hi hi! What are you doing?" she asked.
She had deicded to wear one of her pretty dresses today. It was lime green with a dark green ribbon belt with a bow. It was one of her favourites. Only second to her light pink princess dress. She used to have other dresses that she liked better than the one she is wearing right now but she had out grown them. She was seven now and she had been thinking about how sad she would be when she couldn't wear her dresses anymore. She could wear them now though so she was happy. |

Rachel watched as Neil sat down. He seemed quite graceful, but his movemments seemed a little tense. She wondered if it was normal for him or if he was just tense. She opened her mouth to try and talk to him to get him to loosen up a little, when her little ward, Sanni, burst into the room and ran over to her. When Sanni demanded to know what the were doing, she replied, "There are a lot of magical people dying right now because of the hunters. We're going to try and see if we can find a way to stop them before anybody else gets hurt." She lifted Sammi onto her lap and pointed out each Protettore in turn as she introduced them, "This is Val and Neil and Chastity. Maria will be here soon, too."She waited to see Sanni's reaction to the Prottetories and their reaction to Sanni.

Surprised by the sudden appearance of the young girl, Neil turned his head to the side somewhat viewing the girl before turning his head back again and placing somewhat of a half smile on his face. "I did not expect a child..." he started already deciding that the young girl was either some relative of Rachel's or something of the like. "Is there any particular reason she is here?"

Sanni frowned when Rachel explained to her that magical people were dying. She thought the hunters were stupid meanies, killing people that shouldn't be killed. "Wolf people and magic people are dying? I wanna help you!" She then looked at the three other people in the room as Rachel introduced them. She tried not to frown at the guy who asked why Sanni was here. It wasn't like she was a hunter, she was going to be a protettore so what was wrong with her being here? "I'm here because I want to be here," she smiled. |

Seeing the confused look on Neil's face, she hurriedly explained, "Sanni's were killed in an accident and she couldn't remember who they were or who she is. I found her in the forest after she ran away from the orphanage. She remembered the word 'Protettore', so I'm assuming her parents were protettores. I've been doing some research and trying to find them. We found a record that may be her parent's, but we're still waiting for the DNA test to come back. If she is, then I have been willed gardianship of her and I can go through the adoption without a hich, but if not..." she shrugged, "I don't know. I doubt the would give me guardianship as a single mom, but I'm all she has right now." She let her voice trail off, letting Neil make his own judgement.
