Valerie listened as she heard Blythe speak of a time in her past. How devastating it must have been, to have your entire family killed before your eyes? She also spoke of two humans hiding in the bushes and setting them on fire. What she still did not understand was why she called them humans. She talked as if they were a complete different species. Was Blythe not human?

Valerie tried to make sense of reality when Blythe and Aidan made their towards the door, she watched as they joked around. This is not a joking time, Valerie thought. Aidan put his arm on Blythe's shoulder, mocking her height. Valerie gave a quiet laugh, one she hoped she wouldn't have to pay for later. She really had to stifle a laugh when Aaron slung Blythe over his shoulder. Now this is great death's-door entertainment.
