Dante was there waiting, leaning up against the wall of the building, looking at his finger tips as if he was contemplating getting them manacured.  He heard her before he saw her and grinned when she entered the ally.  "General Council.  Now that is impressive to be wanted by them.  That tells me one thing though.  It is not for a good reason.  Come on lets get away from here.  Your friend might follow you."  He lead her further down the ally to another street and hailed a cab.  "Have to do something and hell might as well drag you along.  I have a feeling you want to know more about me, and I do thank you for not letting him know who I was.  Any other Hunter would have been all over me trying to capture me and be the big Hunter on Campus.  Once in the cab Dante gave the driver an address and the cab took off.<br/><br/>"So lets get down to it shall we.  Yes I am not quite human anymore, not a vampire and not quite human.  A Hybred?  No.  Wasn't born this way though I bet our archives have it all down in their records.  I was born in Venice Italy and was going to the university there when the "Accident" as I call it occured.  I was returning home after classes along one of the canals when a man ran by, being chased by five men.  Hunters with spears, swords and a variety of weapons.  The man stopped and laughed as the five men closed in and began trying to kill him.  The man was fast and agile like nothing I had seen before.  He seemed to be toying with the five Hunters, taunting them almost as if it was a game to him.  Well to make the story short, one of the men got lucky with his spear and ran it through the side of the man.  However I was behind the Man at the time and the spear blade, with the man's blood pierced my side.  From that point I don't know what happened to the Man, because I fell into the canal and floated away.  I was found by an old man and dragged out.  He took me to his house and tended to the wound, which did not seem to need much tending as it was beginning to heal already.  Later I learned of the Order from a friend and that the men chasing the other were Hunters of the Order and that the one they were chasing was a Vampire. "<br/><br/>He looked over at her, "What ever happened, why I am not like him now I don't know.  Perhaps it has something to do with not being bit by a vampire, though I doubt that.  It is them giving you to drink of their blood that changes you.  All I know is I was changed and had, from what I learned over the years the best of their qualities and not their worst.  I put my new found abilities to good use."  he grinned.  "Found I was better as a thief then a scholar. "<br/><br/>The cab finally reached its destination.  An Orphanage.  It was a huge mansion like place with a wall around the five acers of land it sat on.  Inside there were playgrounds and trees with benches beneath them, and a small garden.  Children of all ages were outside playing or just talking.  The older ones seemed to be helping watch the smaller ones.  On the porch of the huge house was an elderly man and woman who looked up as the cab pulled up and Dante stepped out with Maya.  As soon as the children saw him a number of them yelled out his name and came running to him.  A little girl was the first to reach him and she hugged his legs and then lifted her arms up.   Dante chuckled and picked the little Girl up.	"This is Sally."  he intorduced the little girl.  "Come on I think you need to meet the Wilsons.  They run this place."
