Snippet #2452429

(Sorry, I thought this had completely died! I could probably throw a post in and see what happens!)

Willa had hoped it would be as easy to convince the three creatures to join in with Nick's plan as it had been to convince them to fight with her--but it seemed the Dhampire was set on causing further trouble. Sam described a group of full-fledged vampires--supposedly "good"--who could help. Willa didn't like the way the girl seemed to be dazedly tracing a scar along her neck as she spoke of them.

Willa watched Sam with hard eyes, listening. It was what she did best, after all. After Sam finished, Willa took a breath and placed a hand on the table in front of her, as if making sure the world around her was still solid.

"No." Wall declared firmly. " I don't know these vampires. I don't trust them. Debello's reach goes further than I think you realize, Sam." Willa looked to Nick, expression calculating before she looked back to Sam. "With Nick's plan, even your brother would have trouble tracking you. With yours--well--why should these vampires want to help us? I only believe in revenge as a purpose for so long before the temptation of power overrules it...and my kind isn't exactly...popular among Vampires..."

Willa gave a small sarcastic smirk on the word "popular".
