Matt blinked at her, eyes narrowing some as if he were confused by her not knowing. Obviously her "friend" wasn't a vampire. So what was she, then? "Of course. There are all kinds of creatures here: fairies, vampires, humans, metahumans....a little bit of everything. We all do the best we can to survive and be peaceful."
The City had its fair share of heros and villains, too. It was a fully functional place just like anywhere else in the world, and just like other places it had its fair share of trials.
"So if your friend is not a vampire, why did you allude toward that?" Maybe it was Matt's lack of education and knowledge of subsequent species fitting that same description. The only other guess he could make, logically, was a zombie. However Liv wasn't a fitting description of a brain-consuming death walker. Was she?
