reunion

"yes like you said she needs her family." Dlyanne said ,"but id have to keep her away from her uncale."

"Her uncle? The man you live with?" Khaat asked.

yes," dlyanne said "hes not good around people."
"even his family," emily asked quietly

"So why do you stay, Diyanne? If he's not trustworthy, why do you stay? And how do you think you're going to manage to take in a child when he doesn't want her there? This makes no sense. And, Emily? You knew about this and didn't tell me? What am I supposed to do here? If I let you stay with me, then you're not with your family. If I let you go with your family, then am I putting you into a bad environment? I think you two need to talk and work this decision out. I'm going to browse in the store, and you two talk." She turned and walked a few paces away to the clothing racks.

he couldn't live if it warnt for me," dlyanned said <"hes a vampire," she said the last part quietly
"i didn't know anything, really "emily said "exept that they were out here some where."

"Well, yes he could live without you, Diyanne. The ministry supplies vampires with fortified vials of blood so they can survive without using humans to feed on. He can get those through me at St. Mungos. And they're free. He just needs to come and get them. You don't need to be there unless you want to be."

"hes the only family i have had since anna disappered>" dlyane said
"i want to be with you," emily said quietly to dlyanne

"Emily," Khaat said softly, "I know you want to stay with Diyanne. If you want to try that, it's fine with me. If it doesn't work out, you're welcome to come back. I know how I would feel if I were you and had spent the amount of time you had just looking for your aunt. I think you should try it and see how it goes. But if it doesn't work out, come back. She's welcome with me any time, Diyanne. I want you to know that, but I had to help her find her family since it was so important for her. If either of you need something, let me know. And Diyanne, have your husband come and see me. I'll get him the supplies he needs to stay healthy. You'll all be happier. Emily, you're welcome to come and visit any time you like." She gave Emily a hug and kissed the top of her head. "Good luck. Come see me some time, okay?" She turned and left them to get to know each other.

"thank you khaat," emily said as she left
"why arn't you in school?" dlyanne asked
"i dorped out to look for you." emily said
