Chapter 28

Meanwhile,Queen Branch runs into the turned vampires and homeless vampires shelter. The Queen is a little late. She is there to check on how the shelter is doing. It is part of her Queen duties to check since it's part the of charities which the Royal Family supports. Branch has to see if the money is used properly and benefits the homeless and turns who need help.

Branch is wearing a simple and short brown dress with a white sash around her waist and a leaf vest. Her hair is tied into a ponytail by a white band.  Branch looks around as she walks into the first room, the waiting room. It's clean, tidy and welcoming. That's a good sign to the Queen. Branch sees the man in charge and his wife, Mr Honey and Mrs Honey. Branch calmly walks over to them.

The couple smiles happily to see the Queen again. They enjoy it when the Queen would visit and make sure their alright. Branch even helped them help give many vampires new and better lives in both some Charity events and behind closed doors. Cause of that many vampires which were living in the shelter got back on their feet and are living good lives.

"Hello Queen Branch.", Mr Honey greets happily.

"Your highest. It's so good to see you again.", Mrs Honey greets happily.

Branch smiles at the couple. She trusts them to do good for those who needed it. Branch had seen them be kind and selfless when nobody expected them to do so.

" Mr and Mrs Honey. Its good see you too. How has the shelter been since last time I was here?",Branch greets friendly.

Branch's last visit wasn't too long ago cause she brought Poppy here to stay. Mr and Mrs Honey were welcoming to him like he was part of their family. Branch hopes that Poppy will settle in nicely.

" The shelter is doing fine. A few vampires almost ready to leave. Minnie and her husband are closer to getting back their house,Randy finally got a new job and Poppy seems to be okay so far with everything. I think he is having some trouble settling in. He is a recent turned after all. ", Mrs Honey explains honestly.

Mr Honey let's out a small chuckle at his wife. She has such a good and caring heart. It's part of why he fell in love with her.

" I'm sure he'll get use to being a vampire soon. You have such a big heart. ", Mr Honey says to his wife.

Soon the checking up on the shelter fully starts. Mr and Mrs Honey had go do something so they gave Branch full access to every room. She didn't really need someone to show her around but, Mr Honey or Mrs Honey would usually do it for this kind of visit cause they had the keys.

As Branch walks into the hall she and somebody else accidentally bumps into each other. They both back up while yelling " OW!" from the impact as they look down. Branch rubs her forehead while looking up talking.

"Hey! Watch It!", the Queen yells upset.

Her anger fades away immediately and is replaced with surprise when she notices Poppy standing in front of her. Poppy looks at Branch a little surprised to see her. The hunter didn't know that he would be seeing her here tonight. He feels a little bad that he bumped into her like that.

" Sorry,I didn't see you coming...",Poppy apologizes.

Branch has already calmed down. She realizes that she wasn't paying attention either. The Queen knew it was also her fault too.

"No,Poppy... It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going either.", Branch admits honestly.

After a minute of silence Poppy does a small nod his head to Branch implying that he understands. Then a small smile spreads across the hunter's face. He is honestly happy to see her here.

"So what your doing here if you don't mind me asking?",Poppy asks curious.

" Oh just doing a personal check on the shelter. It's part of my Queen duties. ",Branch states.

The Queen does this check two times a year, excluding the charity events. Sometimes Rosiepuff would take Branch's place when she couldn't make time or when he thought she was a little overworked. Branch never minded doing the personal checks cause Mr and Mrs Honey would be open minded about it.

Poppy smiles happily at Branch. He thinks it is nice of her to do this. The man doesn't know much about ruling but, he didn't need to know a lot to know that it is nice gesture to those struggling. The spy hopes that she gets thanked for making time for other.

" Everyone should be happy to see you...",Poppy comments happily.

The woman looks up at the clock on the wall quickly then back at the male in front of her. She should really get going. Having a slow start to this night isn't helping her at the moment.

" Well not always. I should be getting back to this checkup. I'll talk to you later with the others...",Branch says.

The turned vampire gets an idea. He would to like continue their conversation and plus he is a bit bored with being by himself. The social butterfly he has in the village  didn't leave him to be alone most of the time. Plus this is a good chance to learn more about the Queen for his mission.

"How about I help you out a little. I got nothing much to do and it will be fun hanging out with you again.", Poppy says cheerful.

The female leader raises an eyebrow at Poppy. They were together last night. Is he trying to push his luck? Branch crosses her arms quickly.

" Poppy, I'm not here to hang out with you. Plus I shouldn't be slacking around since I need to make up some lost time. ",Branch states.

The hunter only sees Branch's refusal as a challenge. He likes it a little how she is making him work a little more hard to spend time with her. Usually other women around him would happily agree.

" Think of it as a bonus. I won't be holding you back! Just helping out. It's better than being in my room all night. ",Poppy says positive.

" You really want to tag along? ",Branch asks.

Poppy just smiles at the Queen for a minute before answering. He sees nothing wrong with wanting to help her out while hanging out with her.

" Yup. Something wrong with me wanting to help out? ",Poppy replies.

The Royal woman thinks for a moment about Poppy had just said. There is really nothing wrong with wanting to help out. It just Mr and Mrs Honey who would help her out with this kind of thing. Maybe some help from Poppy will help her catch up with time.

" Not really. It just normally turns and the other vampires staying are minding their own business. Only Mr or Mrs Honey help me out with the checkups but, fine! You can help out as long as you don't talk too much. ",Branch says giving in with a serious tone at the end.

A bigger smile spreads on Poppy's face before agreeing to her term happily. Then they start walking to the kitchen together in the hall.

" So when is the next checkup? ",Poppy asks curious.

Branch takes a moment to remember before answering. The date is in her Nightbook but, she isn't sure at the moment. She turns her head to Poppy as she answers.

" Maybe five months later. Plus,minis... Why?",the Queen responds.

Poppy turns his head to Branch with a smile on his face.

" So next time you visit and I'm still here I don't need to bump into you to know that you are here.",Poppy jokes.

The Queen just rolls her eyes at the joke.
