"If he touches you--tastes one drop of your blood..." Theresa paused dramatically to allow Gwen's mind to fill in the blanks.
"I know. You don't have to beat me over the head with the obvious. If he drinks my blood, we both die. Spectacularly." Gwen laughed. "Maybe that's my destiny. To take out a vampire by spontaneous combustion."
"Don't be melodramatic. I--"
"You also told me my memories would return. And they haven't." Gwen's calm tone made the words sound harsher and more brutal than intended. "You said all of this was for a purpose--what purpose? I lived through hell, and I only remember a few random moments! Vague shadows and the feeling that I've forgotten something--something important. I have to know what happened to me that night--not just what you told me. Did I want to become a vampire at thirteen? Did I let them in to slaughter my family and change me? Was it my fault?"
"I doubt it," Theresa answered carefully. "You're a good person--"
"So you say. But if I'm so good, why do I write jingles for television instead of doing something worthwhile like you?"
