<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The vampire was shook from her thoughts when the door opened and the boy slipped out but not without a backwards glance. He had a good heart even if he hadn't been given the chance to be good to the world around him. She stared up at him just now taking in the fact he was a good head taller than herself. She motioned for him to follow her, "I have finished writing the contract that will be the law you live by while in this household," She informed him as she lead the way back to her simple study, "I don't know much about you but I assure you I will learn nearly everything about you with in due time."<br/>

She poured a glass of water and sat it before him, "I will begin with what I have contracted out concerning your sister. You clearly care for her greatly and I do not make it a habit of leaving children on the street if I can help it. She will get a full education concerning all manner of life. She will know how to read and write by the time she is you age as well as how to do mathematics and many other things. Hodge will be her primary teacher in such things. I will teach her history and show her how to run a household. She will be given an allowance that is greater than your own and I will adopt her as a ward. She will be treated very well by the household as they will treat her as if she were my child."<br/>

It means that I will feed from you instead of getting my blood else where but you need not worry as I will not be able to drink from you till you are healthy at least. So a couple of weeks or so. You will be paid, house, clothed and fed. Your freedom is not something I will not give easily. Do you understand all of this so far?"<br/>

She needed to be sure she wasn't leaving him in cloudy territory.  </span>
