Hogsmead Village

'My brother.' I shrug. 'If you want evil, most people go to him.'

"Was he always like that?"

'no. no...He was the most caring brother you could ever imagine...and then i got taken away and he turned...and now...' I shrug. 'He is evil'

"Was there any sort of creature involved?"  Luna has to know.  It sounds like a vampire could be responsible...

'My father was involved. But i owuldnt even call him a creature. He was nothing. or at least....hes nothing now.'

"Hmm..."  Luna starts thinking.

'What?'

"Nothing..."  Luna starts observing her closely again.

OOC  Does River take on the appearance of a vampire?

ooc not particulayy. She tried to hide it as much as possible.

ic
'You know, i really dont like it when people stare at me.'

Luna decides to see how River will react to this next statement.  "And I really don't like it when vampires take my best friend..."

I blink slowly. 'You make it sould like you are accusing me of something there.'

"No, I'm just stating something that happened."

I grin. 'Usually, people dont say things like that with having a reason.'

"That story of your brother... It just sounded similar to the change of my friend..."

'See? ulteria motive. My bother was like that because that was how he had to survive. He turned dark because his light had been stolen. Not by a vampire...by our father. I was the one that kept him good...then i was taken away...' I pause. 'However. for the record. Not every vampire is evil.'

"So you do know that vampires exist... How do you know that they're not all evil?  Have you ever even met one?  Witness what they do?"

'Because not every vaampire wans to be one. Sometimes...they are made against their will and they fight to keep human. Its just like...' I sigh. 'Its a sweeping statement. Like, i could say all humans are evil, but thats not true. There are evil, yes, but some are good. Same aplies to things like vampires.'

"They're all heartless monsters that suck the life out of anything good and living... And they enjoy it.  The one that took my best friend from me made a game out of it!"

'Its so nice to know what people thnk of you.' I mutter, before looking her in the eyes. 'I hate what I am. I hate that my stupid brother tried to do one noble thing and save my life. I fight against it every day. I am good, I do everything in my power to help people. Would you call me heartless?'

OOC So sorry I disappeared!  I had to leave suddenly!

IC  Luna grips onto her stake.  "So you are a vampire..."

ooc its fine.

ic
'Reluctantly.'

"Either way..." Luna takes out her stake, now showing it to her. "You must be destroyed..."

'And what would killing me do? Nothing. You would be killing proberly the one person who can sympathise with you....and you would be killing someone good. My death, to you, would mean one less vampire in the world....but to othess, like my husband....it would mean a price on your head. And by killing me....you would be stopping one of the few hopes in the world of stopping people like deth eaters. So go ahead, kill me....but yu should be ready for the consequnces your actions will have.'

"Whatever the consequences... I can handle it. Nothing is worse than a Society punishment."

I smile. 'Really? Did i mention who my brother is? and who my husband is? You really, really so not want to make them angry.'
