Why me? Why did I make
myself Kemp’s keeper? Need my head examined for sure.
Seems the kid has taken up
with a fledgling vampyre. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Ok, so maybe
not quite the right analogy but you get my point.
First this vampyre plans on
feeding from Kemp apparently. Then they confess undying infatuation. And then
the vampyre’s, umm Owen’s, Sire decides he needs a meet with me. Someone’s been
talking out of turn that he even knows about me. Kids!
So we meet. Dancing around
each other at first as he doesn’t trust me any more than I trust him. Turns out
he’s not such a bad dude as vampyres go. Puts me in mind a bit of another
vampyre I happen to respect. He’s no happier about the union than I am. Though
I suppose it’s not a union quite yet from what Kemp’s told me. More a
friendship inching its way towards something deeper if the kids have their way.
It was funny. It seems like
Owen’s Sire didn’t know his Child was gay until this came up. Big secret from
everyone 'til Owen told Kemp. Anyway Rikard, that’s the Sire, wants this thing
stopped. Told him that was up to him. Hell Owen’s his Child. He says it’s up to
me 'cause I’m Kemp’s mentor. Yeah like that gives me any rights.
Finally met Owen the night
after this big ‘discussion’. He seems like a good kid. Shy as hell but not
willing to let his Sire dictate to him. Gave him points in my book with that
despite the rest of this mess. Had a long talk with both of them then told them
it was their choice but if they screw up they’re on their own.
So we’ll see what happens.
