We Are You And Me And Them

We Are The Night session 6...


We know how Mary got mixed up with vampires... how did our vampires get here?

Michael sat with Mary at a cafe just off campus, slowly sipping water as she worked through a sandwich and cappuccino.

"It, uh, doesn't bother you, right?"
"It's fine..." he said, not entirely honestly.
"How long has it been?"
"Six years, give or take."
"That's not actually all that long... How did it happen?"
"Wrong place at the wrong time."
"It's okay, you can tell me. If you want."

He considered this, and told her. He'd been travelling for work, and not finding much, for a year or so when it happened. He hasn't seen her since.

"That's terrible."
"You deal."
"How? How do you...?"
"Animals, mostly."

He looked uneasy. She put a hand on his.

Naturally, that was when Laura came in.

She discussed what she had found about the woman with blue eyes - her name was Julia, and her preferred feeding ground and possible domain was a late night club in the Village - and her "enemy" - which wasn't much really. She suggested taking Mary to see her, and that Michael could come as well...
