Rigoletto had been away for some time now, to allow the hunt for him to end not that it ever truly would but, at least the Dark Lord would be growing tired by now in looking for his so it was safer to return though he did insure that his son was safe at all times. Knowing that his sons life was still in danger & would be for some time tell he learned to fight & defend him self, against those like the Dark Lord & D.E., it was hard to imagine that there could be a so called time of peace for his so called kind, after all Vampires where not the most favored when it came to trust or anything of the nature.
No much like other things vampires even if there was so called nice ones, it did not take away for the rumors & legends that had been started & forged over time. He was old or some might say beyond that & yet he would never age in looks past what he looked now but, he would in skill & knowledge if he but, wanted it.
He wore a long black cloak with a hood that was drawn low, he moved the streets of Hogsmeade, he moved like a shadow with no sound & keeping form being spotted out that he was anything more then a wizard out shopping but, he was doing more then that he was listening & checking out any rumors & whispers of him, of Jamie or the events of the D.E., only when he was sure that things where safe would he return to his normal ways.
There was not a day he did not think of Jamie, of how she was & how he had to leave her to the fainted that had to be worse then heck, she had told him not to come back for her to save there son & so he had though it hurt to of not been able to simply go after her & flee.
The streets where not overly crowded so it made it easier to blend in & find out things, it also made it hard in some ways for he had to be leery of those he knew might be spies for the Dark Lord or even those D.E. even if he had not seen or smelt any of them yet he knew that they had to be around if not now then later on.

Deran had roamed the streets, looking for an escape. All the events of the past couple of days and hours whirled around in his head. Had he really deserved this, was getting over his family while risking his life that worth it?
Deran sat down on a bench along the street, resting his head in his hands. He closed his eyes, listening to the people around him. They all had it so easy, too easy. The blade from his last dagger seemed to press into his back. He was lost, and utterly unarmed, his whole escape if danger came was to run or to fight hand-to-hand combat. Deran sighed, silently praying he would never see or hear from Rigoletto or Jamie again.

Rigoletto had fallowed Deran though he was not out to kill him if that had been the case he already would but, he wanted to the bottom of this mess that he found him self walking into. He wanted the truth & he would hunt Deran down to find it, the man had at one time been what many vampires could only hope become but, he was here to find out if he was the same man or not, he fallowed his trail though it grew cold in some areas. When he found Deran he was at a bench & Rigoletto approached with not sound be left some space between them incase but, enough where he would have a chance to head him off if he ran. “How long will you run, another 500 years?”

Deran looked up, his eyes dead inside as if they led to his soul. "No, I'm sick of running. I'm sick of not moving on, and living in this heck."
Deran gripped the edge of the bench, his knuckles white, his voice broke, "I only came back for her. I only came back because she wanted me to. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her...I would of...killed myself long ago." Deran looked at the ground.
"She loved birds you know. Wanted to be one when she was little. That's why I can't stand to hurt them, you know, I can't kill anything anymore. I'm a disgrace. But...I'm not, my family fought for that, to make peace with every living creature and only take when nature allowed. They paid for those beliefs, but I still cling to them...I have to, otherwise I would lose her...my memories...myself." Deran stared straight ahead, his eyes clouded over like he could see his little sister standing in front of him.
He looked at the ground, his head bent in utter despair, "I'm sorry, Nira. I'm so sorry..I've failed you as a big brother," Deran whispered.

Rigoletto heard his words, if felt odd that Deran had finally stopped running “The only thing holding you back form not moving on & the heck you have found your self in is you Deran, no matter why it comes as it does form you blaming your self or nor letting go of something” He watched him not really dropping his guard as he spoke “You must of ether feared death or Jamie back there to run as you did but, why do you feel you have fail so badly? There is nothing you could of done to my understanding, perhaps you could of went to there aid & where would you be then?… with them dead, there are reasons things happen good & bad, even when we do not understand or want to, nor when we even like it but, we live on & we learn to live on & from what has happened in the past to make use better & the world not to suffer as it did before”

Deran looked at Rigoletto, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very wise, or at least give good advice? Yes, I know I'm the only one holding myself back, I'm just afraid of what life is going to like without them. I know they are dead, but I still live like they're alive. I've grown up being with them and I don't want to know...I'm to afraid to go out into the world alone I guess."
Deran weakly smiled, "I did try once. Fell in love with a girl, a human but found out later that all she wanted was to be turned so she could turn her boyfriend. I left, shattered. I had finally stepped out of my past and was only stabbed in return. I never bothered to form any relationships with anyone again, fearing that same denial. I don't know why I am telling you this, but maybe you understand some of the pain I am going through."
Deran clasped his hands looking almost curiously at Rigoletto, wondering why now all of the sudden he had been so kind to him....was it a trick?

Rigoletto heard Deran words he light shrugged at her first words “I have heard many of the words before but, it is not something that is said much. You do not forget but, do not let your phantoms of the past hold you back or your fears, learn form them, remember them but, do not allow them to control you. There is nothing wrong with living as if they where alive, just do not let it lead you to the despair your are finding you’re self in now. After all could you see them wanting you to fall into such a state, that you are now if they where alive?”
“There is not joy in living alone but, when the time comes I am willing to bet you will find one that will make the wait worth it, human or vampire there is one out there for you Deran but, you will not find her if you fear to look or try to live again”
Oddly with Deran away form Jamie & his son there was not as much tension & as he had fallowed Deran he had not felt what he had so many times before on a murderer & one that kill simply for the fun of it so his temper & anger had settled as he watched & listened to Deran.

Deran looked at Rigoletto, and shakily smiled. "Thank you for your kind and helpfull words, I really needed to hear them. But, I know I shouldn't be asking, why are you helping me? I mean, you came home and saw me fighting with your wife, and she accussed me of coming to hurt your son, so why not take her accusation? Why follow me and not just kill me? What's stopping you?"
Deran watched Rigoletto for any signs, to decide if he could fully trust him. After losing peoples trust so many times, Deran had stopped really believing people at all, and saw everything as a potential threat.

Rigoletto heard Deran words he looked at him “When I first fallowed you I did take Jamie accusations, enough where I was going to kill you with my bear hands. How ever there is not linger of murder about you, as many around that kill for sport or money have. There is a chance I could be wrong & this does not mean I over look what Jamie has said, it looked bad for you when I came into the mess & it still does not look good for you, even if you are defending your self but, if I where you I would tell Jamie you are sorry & not let her ponder over the idea to long or you will likely be running again for Jamie, would only have to see or smell you to set her off again & despite your years Deran she is a force not to go against in such matters”
He knew there was a chance Jamie would not forgive him but, if he made the effort & showed he meant it then with time Jamie might come around & over look everything that happened, not that she would forget but, she might be able to set aside the matter as the two of them had the first few times they meet.

Deran sighed, and rested his head in his hands, "I'll try, but she likes to hold grudges. Though I think the only way she would believe me is when I'm already dead."
Deran laughed, near the end of Rigoletto's speech, "Yeah, she told me that herself. That she is feared among everyone, and I am cautious with her, but I really don't like it when people just assume they are undefeatable, everyone has a weakness, and she needs to learn that...maybe that could be something you can teach her, Rigoletto. I know my weakness, you just learned it, but I know what it does to me and how vulnerable I can become, it's still affects me, but at least I know that it's the cause."
Deran took a deep breath, "I'm only saying this cause I don't want the kid to grow up without his parents. So, don't try to get into any trouble." The words sound harsh, but it was more of a concerned tone.

Rigoletto heard Deran words “She does but, not fully with out reason & I could not blame her for holding one when it comes to her son ether but, she might believe you if you but, take the chance of at least you would of done that”
“Well she was fear by many Deran even before she became a vampire & with the shift more fear her because what she can do if pushed, she might need to learn but, I will speak to her on it when I do not have to worry about having to have my will signed & filled out before I speak”
Rigoletto softly chuckled “I do not have to try to get into trouble, for it appears to find me & I simply must deal with it when it comes, in what ever form it comes in”
