Silver stopped growling, and looked at the vampire. What was it thinking? She could understand protecting a human that had showed loyalty to her, but that human was a complete stranger to the vamp. How could she want to protect it? Silver regained most of her human form, but let her claws stay long and deadly, in case the vampire attacked. "What do you mean? That human was chasing you! How could you be so underfed that you could not kill one weak mortal?" Hesitating, Silver scented the air. "You smell of blood." She remarked, now more confused than ever.

Michaela understood exactly what the werewolf was saying, it was not like she had not heard it before, sometimes it even crossed her own mind, but never for long, "If you knew who I was, knew my past, you would not ask me that." Michaela ignored the last comment, she could not allow her thoughts to return to that, she would never be able to focus if she did.

Silver thought for a second. "I've... suffered at the hands of humans, but I understand that what one did, they all do not have to answer for. Although my kind and yours have many differences, we are both hunters. If we ignore that side of our nature, we become nothing more than human. And no matter what you want... no matter what you think, you are not human. 'Does the wolf cry over the lamb that it slays, or does it rejoice, for the lamb's life will now sustain his own'?"

"I know that I am not human, do not talk to me as if I am some ignorant fledgling. You say we are both hunters, that is true, but I think we both have different prey in mind." Most of the time, Michaela did not voice the last part but it did pass through her mind. She may have been turned into a vampire, but she had not known why, Michaela just could not obey her instincts when it came to killing, that would only make the one who turned her all too happy, she could not allow that. She could not allow him to get away with what he did... but revenge would have to come at another time.

"Oh, really? And what might your prey be? I can assure you it is nothing I have not hunted before." Silver walked around Micheala to the corpse. She ran one finger through the blood that had pooled underneath it, then licked her finger. "I have hunted your kind before, and found them suprisingly easy to kill." Silver remarked casually.

Michaela did not allow her gaze to follow her to the body, instead she shifted her eyes to the buildings ahead, yet she did not really take much notice of them. "My prey...my prey is those who would hurt those who are innocent." Michaela winced slightly as she said this, by all rights she herself would fall into that catergory. One day she was convinced that she would find a way to restrain the side of her that lusted for the kill, that would take over when she was weak.

Silver let out a harsh laugh. "So you would kill yourself? And nearly every other vampire, werewolf, or demon that stalks this world? And the humans... they are wicked, vile creatures for the most part. There is no innocence!" Silver said, the last sentance a growl.

She snapped her head towards the werewolf, causing her locket to catch the moon light, lighting up the sword and rose emblem engraved into it. Fury filled her eyes, but not for long, but the strength remained, "I seek a way to control the part of me that would be called a murderer. Not all humans are as you seem to think they are, who are you to judge innocence?" It was taking a great deal of effort to keep her eyes locked on her face, to prevent her gaze from slipping to the body.

"You can't control it. Why would you want to? You are a vampire! A bloody leech! Their is no way you can stop being what you are. If you wish to leave the humans to their petty mortal wars, then let someone put the stake in your heart. I'd be happy to do it!" Silver glared at the vampire, letting her hatred for the leeches show in the blatant fury that shone from her face.

"Don't you dare act like you know me, like you know what it is like, just because you know I am a vampire! More than vampiric blood flows through my veins, that is what keeps me the way I am, it is all that I have." Michaela shouted, feeling the anger seep back into her voice, she flexed her hands, ready to draw her dagger and pistol if need be.

"You are quite right. Not only does vampiric blood flow through your veins, but so does the blood of the countless humans you have slayed over the decades!" Silver smiled darkly. "I know nothing of your kind except that you are weak. You need humans to survive! I know nothing about how your still heart can feel anything at all." With a final growl, Silver walked down an ally, not bothering to shift.

"I do not kill to feed, I find other ways," Michaela shouted after her, though she did not know why she bothered. That was why she did not bother correcting the wolf that it was not 'countless' of people that she had killed, it was actually only three. Only, that sounded so bad to her, she could remember every single one so clearly, the pain, the screams, what came afterwards. No, she could not think of it. She thought of the Larshai side of her, the part which any living relatives would most likely reject as being false, that part of her which she clung to. She felt her hand reach for her locket, as it did so often.

Angry, Silver kicked at a wooden post. The kick that would have broken a normal person's foot cracked the post instead. "Bloody leech." She growled to herself. The damned vampire was in denial! She didn't know why she cared. She should just walk away from this city. But it was getting dangerous. More and more vampires were getting like that, and they tended to dislike the way she gave into her bloodlust. Whatever insanity that was sweeping over the land... she would put a stop to it.

Michaela turned to look around her, intent on finding her sword. She hoped dearly that it had not fallen into the canal as she was just beginning to dry off. To her relief she spotted it lying in the boat. Swiftly she walked over it and retrieved it. As she turned back around she spotted the body again, "I'm sorry." She whispered, feeling as if she was partly to blame for the man's death, if she had not gone after the boat... Michaela closed her eyes before heading down the alley, considering it appeared to be the only way from here without going for another swim.

In frustration, Silver lifted her face and howled. Although the sound came from a hominid mouth, it was perfectly formed, and the sound was long and haunting, filled with all of the hopes and desires of her past.
