*I know- that's what I thought at first."
*She took her sister over to the couch, allowing her to catch her breath*
"You're not crazy. What happened-"
*She sighed*
"I learned some time after I came here that Paris is infested with vampires.

*She was trying to keep her breathing calm as she sat with Irene, trying to listen calmly*
"Infested? He...there's more like him..." She said dully.
"Surely, people know? They can't be ignorant of it--"

"Some people know. There are a few who drink animal blood and try to stay out of trouble, but the others-"

*She reached out and gave Irene's hand a squeeze*
"I can't begin to guess...and here, I was thinking the worst I'd have to face when coming to Paris would be a late train."

*She nodded, biting her lip thoughtfully*
"I guess those old superstitions are true?"

"Sometimes."
*She sighed*
"I didn't want you to have to find out about this...to have to get involved...but it seems like my family can't get away."

"Don't feel bad. I suppose it would have come to me sooner or later. Better sooner than later, I say."

"Not all of them are evil. Francis...some time after I met him, my husband was bitten."

*Evelyn didn't know what to say. What could she say? Simple "I'm sorry" didn't seem enough*
"God...I...I hope he's all right, now?"

"He's better, I just wanted you to know, so that if you found out you wouldn't be frightened."
*She laughed*
"I guess I didn't do a very good job."

*She gave a little laugh along with her sister's*
"Well, it's not as bad if there are some out there that are good."

*Irene stood*
"I'm so sorry your visit has started off this way. I'll take you to your room if you'd like."
