The Long Walk Home ((Attn: Leighanne))

Leighanne followed Erika but stayed a good distance behind her she thought about the question before answering it "Well I have been reading up on a lot of different things but perhaps you might be able to explain the difference between a sheriff and a hound to me that one I'm not sure about I mean they sound to me like the same thing when I read about them and then there's this hole clan covenant mess well that just seems confusing too ohh and do I really have to bite people I've done that and people just seem to die so I don't like that at all and why can't we go out in the sun I don't understand that is there a real reason like you science wise..." once she started asking the questions that had been running in her head just started to spill out and it didn't look like there would be an end in sight like a child on their first trip to an amusement park wanting to know and see everything in the first ten minuets.

Leighanne listens to all that Erika has to say still keeping her distance from the woman but keeping a good pace all the same she waits expectantly for her to continue with her explanations.

Leighanne held onto every word that Erika was saying about this she found it interesting but was still repulsed by the idea of biting someone. She looked around her to see where she was wondering how much farther they had to go she was getting a little antsy being out in the open like this her fears still there but she had managed to put them aside for the most part.

Leighanne thinks back through her conversations with Shadow before answering "Yes she said I was something called a Nosferatu is that what you are?" she smiles a broadly at Erika and speeds up a bit but still keeps at least half an arms length behind her.

Leighanne remained quite and contemplated what Erika had said the rest of the way to her haven.

Leighanne looks at Erika and then states flatly "I think I would like to study why that is."

"So this hole being in your care thing what does that mean ... I can't do anything I want I have to do only what you say or am I misunderstanding you." there was a slight twinge in her eye that said her fears were coming back to the surface she had issues with not being in control of herself of what she could do and she did not like it one bit.

"I imagine you will go over what those will be with me and what you think I should do while under your care then I know from what I have read that if I fuck up it's your ass and so far you have been nice to me so I don't want to put your ass in a sling." she smiles at Erika again as some of her fears fade back into the background.

Leighanne looks around and then nods to Erika showing she understands what she has just said. "Thank you ma'am I appreciate your hospitality and help" she is trying very hard to be polite to this woman in the back of her mind she knows how difficult she can be and hopes that she can over come that in the future.

Leighanne enters the room and looks around nodding to Erika as she puts her books down on the bed.

Leighanne comes out of the room she had been given quite some time later and find's Erika sitting in the library she enters and finds a seat but doesn't say anything not quite sure how this is suppose to work does she not speak until asked something is she free to speak her mind there is still a tinge of fear in the back of her mind and her beast is starting raise its head and become hungry she has been trying to fight it back all evening and it seems to be getting more difficult.

Leighanne gives Erika a quizzical look and then remembers that Shadow had told her drinking blood was called feeding "I had a glass about 2 days ago but I didn't finish the hole thing the thought still turns my stomach some." she puts her head down a little ashamed that she can't seem to sustain herself without instruction.

"That would be ok I guess but what if I can't get use to it what then do I just hook myself up to an IV for the rest of eternity" frustration is starting to show on Leighanne's face "I honestly don't know if I can handle this it seems a bit horrific to me going around biting people and living in the shadows what kind of life is that to have." she sighs and slumps back in her chair.

Leighanne considers everything she was just told then she looks at Erika with a consideration "And tell me what exactly does this kind of life have to offer because I really wasn't given a choice to begin with so help me figure out where I might fit if I fit at all."

"So you are telling me I should just exist to what end I mean there has to be a goal something to strive for I may only be a few weeks old but when I am older what can I say that I accomplished you must have goals in this society and yes I would like to know how old you are." she looks at Erika expectantly.

Leighanne figures she will ponder what kind of goals she wants to set for herself later on but for now she had another question "So what exactly do you expect from me as your what was the word child i think it was I mean i know you said I am in your care and you are suppose to teach me but what exactly do you expect from me?"

"Abilities hmm what sort of abilities are there and how do you know what you can do and what you cant I mean can you fly or can you shape shift or read peoples minds " Leighanne sorted through all the different mythologies and fantasy abilities she could think of.

Leighanne looks at Erika with a star struck look on her face amazed at all she had learned this evening but in the back of her mind she knew there was still much to learn she slumped back in her chair and sorted through her thoughts for a while in silence.
