Anna has nothing like holy water or anything that could be deemed illegal to carry. However, her travels with Sofia around the world had not just been for pleasure. Her daughters studies had not just been random attainment of knowledge. Sofia had taken interest in dangerous creatures, and some very non dangerous creatures as well.<br/><br/>For instance, both ladies have a small porcelain bottle that contains a small amount of oil, or perfume. Whatever is needed at the time as the case may be. In this case, it is a mixture of some type of snake venom and interestingly enough lanolin from sheep's wool. When digested lanolin could cause quite the problem for mortal and demi immortal alike. Of course their are a few other things that don't draw attention as well in their arsenal of weapons. But for now Anna will sit back and wait for other's do show their hands.<br/><br/>While her mother's slumber is peaceful Sofia's is not. She twists and turns in her sheets, a nightmare in the guise of a memory tormenting her.<span style="font-style: italic">Her husband had come home drunk again. Recently he had been speaking of having children again, never a good sign for Sofia. She tries to stay out of his way but knows he soon will find her and demand that she do her wifely duties while he does his as her husband and protector. Which is never very pleasant for her at least. At first he had tried to please her but as the years wore on he had just gratified himself. Sofia truly hates him for that. He uses her body like she is of no matter. His footsteps echo in the hall and she knows he has found her hiding place. The door swings open as she starts to sobâ€¦ </span><br/><br/>A few years after she had been turned she finally trusted Anna to find a male vampire to teach her the ways of love. Needless to say Sofia had been hesitant. But the man had been kind and gentle with her, encouraging her and respecting her body, almost worshipping it. That had brought Sofia more of her shell, which becoming a daughter of the night had started. Although carefully about the men she beds these days, Sofia isn't afraid to have a little bedroom fun. But during times of the stress the memories of her human life still rise to the surface unbidden.
