Aaralyn watched the two men warily, the way the one named Lan seemed to totally dismiss her offer to cover the car that Eaerik had wrecked. She could afford it, granted not easily but she was a powerful witch, she could...but she wasn't a witch anymore, not if they had turned her. She couldn't go home. She would never be able to go out in the sunlight again, she knew that much from the lore. No more trying to fly over the compounds walls. No more lazy afternoons spend in the Empress's study arguing over how she should have more freedom.<br/><br/>Freedom..that was what had her here like this now. Maybe she hadn't been ready after all.<br/><br/>The redhead's dark eyes lifted to Lan when he asked her about being a witch, a frown threatening to marr her brow at the very idea she was like a new age 'type'. She was of one of the biggest Coven's in the states, she was one of the most powerful witch's period. Her body straightened a bit on the couch, ramrod straight and her hands petted the feline in her lap. "I am, was a witch, a real one. Not some new age hypie with nothing on my mind outside of how the universe can serve me."<br/><br/>The words were perhaps a bit too sharp but she was angry, she was terrified. She didn't want to be a vampire. That stupid evil harpy. The mention of something able to do so much damage to her had bloodlust raising in her a touch, something that shocked her. But she wanted nothing more then to go kill the harpy that had murdered two of her coven sisters and now apparently resulted in her own 'death' of sorts. At least she was still herself though, not only a spirit blasted into the beyond. "It was a harpy. We were sent to take out a harpy...Two of my coven sisters died, the others...I hope they got away."<br/><br/>Aaralyn found her eyes going to the blood, her stomach cramping but she was no longer it was sure if it was disgust at the thought of drinking it or the need to drink it. She swung her dark eyes to Cade, intent and slightly caged "Fresh blood is better right? I just..can't drink it from a cup, if I have to do this I want<em>her</em>blood, I want to avenge my sisters and finish what I couldn't before."
