As the power of the resonator faded Veronica let out a low hiss.  She was not use to having her mind messed with and she did not like it much now.  Even though she could no longer feel the power of the resonator it made her wary as she remembered how the power of the resonator had covered her with a haze of complacency that she had not been able to shake even when she had figured out what was going on.  He was so very brazen, even when he had been figured out by Lexi, whom she was now grateful to for possibly saving her.  He was not apologetic about what he had done.<br/><br/>“Very well lets move this discussion elsewhere,” Veronica said a dark edge to her voice.  She was not as forgiving as Lexi was.  They set off down the road and she moved so that she was walking closer to drake.  “I’ll warn you now though” the half vampire’s tone held a threat, as well as a hint of worry.  “If you try something like that to me again and I find out about it I’ll rip you to pieces myself.”  Though it was not a fight she was sure she could win, threatening him made her feel a little bit less scared and more in control.<br/><br/>“Now lead the way Mr. Drake,” Veronica said her voice still stiff.  She fell back a few steps to walk side by side with Lexi.  Her grim expressiong became a slight smile.  “I don’t lmpw jpw upi do managed to throw that off so easily, but you have my gratitude, thank you.  I wouldn’t have had any idea of what was going on if not for you.”
