looking out for the young vampire. He wasn't even sure that Pip knew how to fly he was that young.
Meryn stepped forward. "Pip, if you could do anything, what would make you happy?"
Pip's blue eyes grew wide. "Anything?"
Warrick smiled. "Yes, anything."
Pip smiled brightly transforming his entire face into something close to angelic. "I do not want to be mean anymore or do bad things. I want someplace safe to sleep and..." he hesitated.
"And," Warrick prodded gently.
"Food. Food whenever I am hungry," Pip admitted softly.
Meryn pushed Warrick's hands out of the way and wrapped an arm around Pip. "He's mine for as long as he wants me."
Warrick stood. "Now, Meryn."
She turned to face them eyes flashing. "No. I'm not saying it's y'all's fault, but this must have been going on for years." She pinned them both with an angry glare. "You want to help?" She waved around her. "Fix this shit. You're unit warriors designated to protect people, start protecting." She turned to Pip. "Come on little buddy. You're staying with me for a while."
"I am?" Pip asked. "What do I have to do?"
Meryn shrugged. "Keep me company and help me eat Sebastian's food."
Pip subconsciously licked his lips. "Eat?"
Meryn's eyes had a sheen to them. She swallowed hard before smiling at him. "Yup. He's going to love you. He lives to feed people." She tugged on his hand. "Come on."
Pip hesitated turning back to Warrick. "You are really the Founding Family head now?" Meryn waited as Pip asked for clarification.
Warrick nodded. "I am."
"Do I have to see my father anymore?"
"No. Not if you do not want to."
"Do I have to be bad anymore?"
"No."
"Am I allowed to use the transport tunnel and go with Meryn?"
"Any citizen in this city is allowed to use the transport tunnel," Warrick answered looking confused.
"Do I have to come back?" Pip asked quietly.
"Nope," Meryn answered. "In fact if you want to swing by your place and pick up your things you won't have to come back ever."
Pip shook his head back and forth. "I am not allowed to own things."
Meryn grinned. "You can now."
Pip straightened. "I want to go with Meryn and eat Sebastian food."
Warrick nodded and smiled. "Have fun."
As they walked away Micah could see that Meryn had a death grip on Pip's hand. Ryuu stepped between him and Warrick. "I am assuming you will do everything in your power to help Pip's situation?"
Warrick sighed. "Of course. Him and everyone else on Level Five."
