Snippet #2408583

Dhampire. That was what the girl was. The name had escaped Willa on the train earlier. But now it came tumbling back as the girl spoke. Willa's sharp eyes focused on the girl now, seeing through her really.

Im....sorry about back at the station. I realize how weird that must have sounded. I didn't mean to scare you off, I was just trying to be nice. I really am sorry, I really would like to know who you are, and not just think of you as ' that woman from the train station.' That's a little weird.'' Sam said with a smile. Willa continued to stare somewhat blankly at the Dhampire. Dhampires are more human than vampire, really. That explained the Dark Song and the mild demeanor. She seemed young to Willa. But still, Willa had no intention of being friendly with someone who could befriend a Were. Willa brushed a strand of sopping wet hair behind her flat-tipped ear. The Dhampire looked nervous when Willa mentioned the murders. She took a step back and swallowed hard. '' Yes. And trust me, I don't have anything to do with them. I don't drink blood, like at all. And I do want to figure out why they keep happening. The Dhampire then walked over toward her and said, '' My name is Sam Larson, but my friends call me Sammy, even though I'm too old to be called that anymore. And you are?''

That was the opening she needed. Willa smirked, reaching out a hand of her own as if to shake Sammy's outstretched hand,

"I'm Leaving..." Willa answered cheekily, tossing the vile at the girl's feet.

The vile shattered, and Willa sang softly to awaken the vile. But it wasn't a fog vile after all. It was a barrier. Immediately, a fierce light blinded Willa and the sound of a barrier hummed in her sensitive ears. Barriers often sounded to Listeners like loved ones, and this was no different. Her brother...

Willa flinched, looking visibly confused and torn before managing to mask her emotions again. She knew she should run now. But her little brother's Song thrummed loudly in her ears. As if he were...alive again...Willa gaped stupidly at the barrier. Why his? Why now?

Seeming to snap out of her daze, Willa turned to run. Hoping that she still had time left to confuse her scent and make it home without being tailed.
