Jenny turned back, sticking her head through the doorway to peer worriedly at? Abby, one hand on her hip.
?
"Thing is shouldn't a fallen angel be like evil or something?"
?
She blew out a sigh of exasperation and shook her head. It was always something. Either way it could be a case of needing to fight fire with fire.
?
?
"Maybe she's at least friendly," she muttered under her breath.
"Be right back."
?
?
And with that she hurried out. It took her longer than she expected to find the damned amulets marked protection in their little brown envelope. Such unassuming packaging and the flat disks on dark silver chains looked to be black obsidian carved with runes or some other ancient markings. They were flat and around the size of a nickel. Jenny just hoped they'd be up for the task.
?
She nearly stuck both into the pocket of her jeans, then after hesitating for a moment put one of them about her own neck before heading out for some fast food to go.
?
?
Idly she wondered if Abby had discovered anything and doubted it, all the papers there were so convoluted to say the least.

The couple sat in Mina's small red sports car with the top down because Vlad didn't want to go into the diner where others wre eating if he could not afford to do so himself. In spite of herself, Mina found herself smiling slightly at his joke.
?
?
"There is no way it could be her. When I see the impostor I will discover what game they are playing at, then remove their head," Vlad said coldly.
?
Though his tone was calm ice his eyes showed the anger that told of more emotion than simply cold anger.
?
"Perhaps she's reincarnated as I was," Mina said, gently placing her hand over his."
?
"If so she should know y you then," Vlad said.
"And if not..."
?
He let the threat hang in the air. If someone thought to hurt him by pretending to be family they would learn so many things before he at last ended them.
?
"Or...What if she is one of those returned from the dead that you sent Franceska and Renfield to find out about," Mina said, the sudden idea lighting her eyes.
?
Vlad gave a frown of consideration. Now that was a reasonable possibility considering. He slowly nodded, green gaze then moving to scan the parking lot.
?
?
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
