We Are Going To Eat You

We Are The Night session 14...


Mary woke as someone put a hand over her mouth.

"Don't scream. Listen. You can't trust them. Any of them. Even the ones sworn to keep you safe are still monsters."
"And I can trust you?" she asked accusingly as the man let her go.
"I never said that."

He wrote a cell number on a note and left. She lay back, now feeling unable to sleep by day or night.

...
Laura was waiting shortly after nightfall.

"Are you alright? You look exhausted."
"Wonder why that might be..."
"I... We do what we can." She sounded genuinely concerned. Mary pursed her lips, saying nothing. She continued. "One of my... associates believes that you know more about Simon's death."
"So you want to read my mind? I mean, do you go around just doing that?"
"No... It... would be helpful, but I won't push it. But someone else might."
"Who, your Prince? One of the others?"

Laura backed off, letting Mary have a bit more space.

Which is when two snarling vampires burst in.

Laura held one off, the other chased Mary - she ran into the kitchen and pulled out a knife drawer, throwing it all at him. He knocked her down, then Laura came in, teeth bared, moving almost too fast to see, and snapped his neck.


...
Michael, meanwhile, was near enough to see the first vampire running off, holding his newly broken arm. He followed him to an alley between two campus buildings and dropped down behind him.

"What do you want with her?"

The vampire responded by snapping his arm back into place and attacking.

...
Laura moved to pick Mary up, to get her somewhere safe.

Trying not to look at the cut on her forehead.
