A tousled haired May stuck her head out, pale face shining in the dawn just peaking over the horizon...
Ah... Thank You for waiting for me....
A bright smile crossed her lips, but didn't quite reach her eyes...
Tell me about this town I have come to...
Is there a place where I can get fed?? I am so very hungry...
Can we talk while we eat.... So much to say.... no words to express
She stood up tall, shook some of the wrinkles out of her cloak, ran her fingers through her hair, in a futile effort, to keep her hair out of her face...
Her eyes took quick survey of her surrounding, locking in on a fast flowing creek. She walked over, took a long drink & washed her face & hands.... using the water to gather her thoughts, to the coming day's tasks

May turned & face the man.... Looking him directly in the eyes for the first time...
She searched & found what she was seeking...
The answer was yes... this man could help her....he knew of death & darkness.... He could help her find her way thru...
Well.... May asked..... are you going to feed me, or am I gonna waste away?

*He grins and starts to walk, motioning for her to follow. As he walks he speaks*
Im not very sure of what town we are in, because ive been drifting...but i do have a good nose to lead us....Yes right there...
*he continues to walk and goes into a diner holding the door open for her as they go to sit down. A woman slowly walks over, and william can sense shes a bit frightend by mainly his appearance. He looks up and gives her a big smile to try and ease her mind, and she comes to take their order.*
Two orange juices and two breakfast specials. Thank you!
*He smiles and then turns to may*
I saw...and im sorry for what had happened...i do believe that i have an idea of where you can find the man that did...that to you...Hes....
*William closes his eyes and concentrates*
Hes one town over...hes in an upstairs apartment above a cafe...but hes dangerous...he has some dark secrets...i cannot help you with vengance...im unable...but i also sense something in you...something powerful enough to defeat him...
*William opens his eyes as the woman brings their drinks and food.*

*After spending the night in the church, I wake up quite pleased. Standing up and stretching with a big yawn. Then taking a few moments to look around and get a sense of my surroundings. It's quite and no one seems to be in sight except for the pastor who was just straightening up.*
Pastor: Good morning. I see you got a decent rest. I'm sorry I didn't have a bed for you this time, but maybe next time you come through town I will. Get yourself some breakfast at the local cafe and tell them to put it on my tab.
Raedia: Thank you Father, but I can not accept.
Pastor: No need. You take this for cleaning the church and the grounds. You overpaid your stay and I'd like to treat you to breakfast.
Raedia: Thank you Father. Well I must go. No point in wasting daylight.
*Raedia waves to the pastor and dusts off her long, black trench coat and buttons up the metal clasps. While walking out the door bids her goodbyes to the pastor once more. Raedia walks to the cafe just down the road and enters with suspicion. She feels several people she has never felt or seen before. James the waiter that has a crush on her walks up to her.*
James: Hey Raedia. The Father called ahead and said you'd be coming. I saved your favorite table just for you. *Whispers noticably to everyone, but unheard.* There are some strange people sitting next to your table though. Please be careful I don't want you to get hurt.
Raedia: Thank you James. I'll take my seat myself and tell Frank I want my usual please. Thank you.
*Raedia walks over to the table she usually sits at when she's traveling through and some of the people that recognize her say hello as she walks by. She takes her seat and glances occasionally over at the strangers at the table next to her while waiting on her food and reading the paper.*

*William briefly found himself starring at the woman that had just walked in. He shook his head to snap himself out of it but couldnt help himself. He turns around to the woman*
Excuse me miss...but have we met? Sorry if im coming on strongly but i feel as if i know you from somewhere...help a poor old mans memory...
*he smiles a bit trying to restrain himself from searching her mind.*

*Raedia lowers her paper and looks at the man. Takes a sip of her cherry cola and replies.*
"Hey. Actually I believe we have met. I travel around North America for deliveries of sorts. If my memory serves me correctly you used to live in a small house outside of Salem. I delivered some of your friends books to them and you answered the door. I also believe we've run into each other several other places. At one time you told me you were also a traveler."
*She pauses for a moment to take another sip of her Cherry Coke.*
"That's only if my memory serves me correctly. Which it usually does because I never forget a face only names."
*She giggles and waits for a reply with a small smile out of the left corner of her lips.*

*He pulls out a chair at his table*
Would you like to join us? My name is WIlliam, and this is May.
*He smiles friendly like, trying to make the darkness of their little corner a bit more inviting*
What was your name again?

*She stands up and grabs her paper and cola and then walks over to the table. Raedia sets down her things and sits in the chair the man has pulled out for her.*
"My name is Raedia." *She shouts back to James getting her order ready.* "I'm switching tables James." *Then turns back to look at the woman in the cape across the table.* "Hello mam'. " *Then turning to William.* "What's your name sir? I don't believe I've ever asked it before even though I'm not good with names to begin with."

*He looks over at James and can hear his thoughts. James looks over at WIlliam with an angry look, full of jealousy and rage, and william just grins as he turns back to Raedia.*

*She looks at William with an odd look and doesn't know how to answer him.*
"I am a freelancer and I run errands all over the east coast for different people. By chance did you say Saint Claire?"

*Still with a confused look on her face.*
"My last name is also Saint Claire. I did not know that others still existed. I was told the name had died off and I was the last by my mother shortly before she died."

*William looks at her and quickly quiets himself. He then looks to may and then stands up*
Something...just came up...i have to be going now...you two take care...
*he throws a few dollars on the table and walks quickly out the door and disapears into the fields by the town*

*She's stunned to see what just happened. She shouts at James to tell him she will be right back and excuses herself from the table. Raedia then runs quickly out the door and tries to catch up with William. Though she has no luck seeing him, she found a path that he had left through the grass.*
"I'm glad one of my jobs is to track people. So I'm going to grab a bite to eat. Figure out who he really is and then be on my way to find him."
*While making her way back to the cafe to rejoin the lady at the table and get her breakfast she keeps thinking about who he really is. After going back into the cafe she rejoins the lady at the table, but doesn't say a word.*
"I'm sorry mam, but I must run to find out who this man is before he gets to far."
*After finishing her breakfast she thanks the woman for the company and says goodbye to James once more. Then heads out the door to follow Williams path through the grassy fields.*
