Vampire. Kathy had been planning on exploring the city on her own for quite some time now. She knew that would be best not to go on her own as to not worry all the people who seemed suddenly concered with her her welfare. But there were so many sights to see-and while the adults helped with the questions, she often felt like the very little ones she saw dragging their parents along at the pace that the adults went. It was strange, how many things this place had already changed in her. If she'd been at home .. at her time-a concept that still boggled her mind a bit-she would never, ever consider impatiently insisting that her father hurry along so that she could see all that could see. Not that there hadn't been quite a few impatient, fresh mouthed children in her time period; howevr, Kathy, herself, had always been obediant. Always.

Except right now, as she walked down the busy streets, not truly appreciating the sights as she had planned. All for one word. Vampire. Everything went out the door really because she was upset. Upset and scared and confused-far more confused than she had been when she'd appeared-betrayed. Oh, yes, there was the betrayed. Would he have ever told her? Had he really thought he could avoid her forver? Possibly. She loved her brother but sometimes ... Was he even her brother still? Kathy didn't want to think along those lines. Because she worshiped the ground that Liam Concannon walked in and she had been able to accept and been willing to deal with all of this because her brother was with her. If that wasn't her brother ... the sudden lonliness and ache for familiarity that had hit her when she'd first arrived was sharp and piercing, and wouldn't wash away even as she tried to push them aside. She felt very betrayed. Did Doyle know? Christopher? She felt insulted. As insulted as a fourteen year old would feel when adults thought they had to protect her from everything. Like she wouldn't have been able to figure it out. Kathy frowned to herself, she probably could have figured it out. She'd known something hadn't added up but it hadn't mattered. None of it had mattered because of the fact that she'd finally found her brother.

She had thought he'd kept his promise to her.

Vampire, he was this monster. This horrible creature, and she should hate him. Should be scared of him. And she was scared, very scared. But he sounded like her Liam and he made her smile the way only her brother could. And she didn't know, she really and truly didn't know what do do with this. She supposed she should go back.

The thing was, Kathy dashed away tears with the sleeve of her shirt, she didn't know where she was. Or how to get back.
