*Maria flailed as the blonde woman threw herself in the way, and she fell back against Norman as she lost her balance*
"No! The blood the--"
*She wrenched away from the three of them, spinning towards the parking lot*
"Muerte! MUERTE!" She screamed.

*Edward cried out and collapsed against Christine.*
"No! No, don't!"
*It was unclear whether he was protesting against Sarah Maria's bite or Christine's rescue.*

*Norman could best her with surprised, but he wasn't strong enough to hold her. He lunged unsteadily after her.*
"Sarah Maria, wait!" *he cried.* "What are you doing?"

*Christine was also unsure of this. And a little put out*
"Edward, are you alright?"

"Away! Stay away! I MIGHT KILL YOU!" *She kept running, the voice in her head laughing *

*Ed pressed a hand to his bleeding neck, staring after Maria. Blinking, he turned to Christine and tried to steady himself. He ended up sitting on the ground.*
"She's... she's... a vampire," *he said, dazed. He looked up at Christine.* "A real one."

"Away! Stay away! I MIGHT KILL YOU!" *She kept running, the voice in her head laughing* *Norman stumbled after her.* "No, wait! I don't..." *He stopped, panting. He couldn't keep up with her. And maybe... maybe he shouldn't. He turned back to the others, taking in the scene with shame. It was like with Mother. Only this time... there were more than dead bodies to clean up.*

*Ed nodded, then shook his head. He pulled his hand away to look at the blood. There wasn't much.*
"Not really," *he said, struggling to his feet. He gazed at Christine.*
"Thank you," *he said gratefully.*

*She hugged him, relieved*
"You poor thing..."

*Edward hugged her back, trying not to lean on her. Over her shoulder he saw Norman walking towards them with a guilty look on his face that Ed remembered.
And now he knew where he'd seen him.*
"Oh my god," *he said.* "It's you. You tried to kill me that time."

We're not safe here, * thought Christine, turning breifly into Legolas*
"Do you know this man?"

We're not safe here, * thought Christine, turning breifly into Legolas* Both men swooned and were forced to question their sexuality."Yes, he does," *Norman said quietly, keeping his distance.* "I... I tried to kill him once." He was dressed as a woman."I didn't want to. I was glad when he stopped me. But it's true; we're dangerous." *Ed Wood blinked at him.* "You knew about Maria," *Ed said.* "You open this place, you let her live here..." *Norman raised his hands.* "She... we're supposed to keep each other from doing that," *he said, his face a mask of misery.* "I th-thought we could control it, if we had each other."

*Edward felt oddly touched by Norman's open misery. He was stupid like that.*
"I don't think either of you meant it," *he said.* "She tried to warn me. A lot, actually. But you gotta admit--it's a pretty shaky set-up, if you want repeat business."
*He wondered, light-headedly, where they could go now.*

*Norman looked down at the ground.*
"Yeah. I know. I had my doubts... I won't run, if you call the police. I'd do it."
*He looked up, to see Wood staring at his neck. Reflexively, he raised his hand to the spot.*
"She bit you, too," *Edward said.* "She bit you, and you protect her."
*Norman's dark eyes flickered.*
"She didn't attack me," *he said shortly.* "She hasn't hurt me."
