Sydney took a deep breath before answering the question. This was the moment, she realized, when she was going to stand firm in her beliefs, and she looked down at Zoe, meeting her eyes. Confidently, she shook her head. "No, I don't. Magic can do evil things, yes, but what matters is the intent, and the person using it. Magic itself is extremely natural, and is all around us, Zoe." Her eyes tracked her sister's hand to the tattoo, and for a moment she touched her own, which had begun to change to silver over time.
At the question, her eyes hardened just a bit. "There is a lot they don't tell us. For example...these tattoos. You know the words they have us say? They tell us they are using elements of vampire compulsion so that we can't discuss them with those who don't know about them, but Zoe..." She shifted to take her sister's hands in both of hers again. "They're also forcing us to believe the same thing they do. To close our minds to other possibilities."
