'Is she, James?'

The weariness of her voice shocked her as she stepped into the office. James was standing there behind his desk and her captors standing near the middle of the room. She had heard everything and it was tearing her neatly packaged world asunder.

'You...,' she started as she felt the weariness of her voice seep into her limbs, making them heavy. The silence was as thick as it was painful. James looked at her, his expression void of any type of compassion, and his lack of a response more telling than any explanation he could give her.

The world that she loved was crumbling around her. Her existence as a young, ambitious, and horribly snobby elite was paling in comparison to what she was now - an indirect casualty. Much like her predecessor, who supposedly was a twenty year friend of James, her life meant nothing.

'You...son of a bitch!' Yuu roared at him as she approached his desk. She pointed a finger at him and let lose her anger. 'Harold Gray was a friend of yours. You said for years. Both of you...as young lawyers...you said your dream was to be DA and this is what you do with your office? Nothing to say? No explanation for your total disregard for your staff's life, your friends...for human life, period? You taint the integrity of this office to hand out kills to,' she turned and looked at Simon and the woman, '...to them?'

Yuu took a step closer to the couple and screeched. 'And who the fuck are you two?'

The woman took a step closer to Yuu and inhaled deeply on her cigarette. She was tall, dark haired with sparkling light green eyes that were curiously gleaming with a private joke. Looking at Weatherby, she nodded silently.

'Her name is Ellis Duban. She's a vampire.' Weatherby jutted his chin out toward Simon and finished. 'Him, too.'

'Oh well, of course. Vampires.' Her sarcasm was tight in her throat and Yuu felt a tear roll down her cheek. Her anger welled up into chest just as the woman moved closer to her.

Exhaling the smoke from her cancer stick, the woman came within a foot of Yuu, smiling down at her with bright eyes. She turned her head to the side and smiled, exposing an elongated canine. Her tongue touched the sharp tip of her tongue and Yuu watched mesmerized, closing the gap between them as her eyes showed her what her brain refused to acknowledge. Suddenly the woman snapped her jaws shut just as Yuu got within inches of her and the ADA jumped back. Crossing her arms, Ellis tilted her head down and let her smile fade.

Yuu side stepped and looked over at Simon who ran his tongue beneath his top lip. He hooked a finger into his mouth and pulled back his lip, showing Yuu his matching fangs.

'Any...anyone can get those. That proves nothing.' Yuu stop short as Ellis closed in on her who was at least five inches taller than Yuu, but it was the proximity of her that frightened Yuu beyond words. She could not bring herself to look her in the eyes, so she opted for her throat.

'Would you like me to show you the truth?'

Yuu felt her heart stop in her chest at the buttery smooth words. Vampire or not, this Ellis Duban believed she was dangerous, even murderous, and Yuu felt her lips purse close in fear of speaking. Slowly, Yuu took another step back, away from Ellis, still avoiding eye contact. One of the office chairs backed into her legs and Yuu fell into it.

That moment Yuu kept thinking about? The one she was stuck in? It was nothing compared to this one, the one that broke her reality into a thousand little pieces and pushed her over the edge of fear and terror.

Her mother was right, she should've gone to medical school.
