Penny felt angry when Dylan all but accused her of being a pet to the Vampires that tried to kill her. Her nails ghosted over a bitemark scar on her wrist and it [i]itched[/i]. She wanted it [i]off of her.[/i] Her mind wanted to go into a frenzy, but she closed her eyes for a few seconds and focused on Christian's words. His voice calmed her and he was right. She needed to be careful, but she also wanted Dylan to know his place. She wasn't very good at making people regret insulting her though. There were often times she wanted to, but she never found the words or courage to do so. There were plenty of unsavory things she wanted to say to him, but she refrained. She needed to make friends.

[color=f49ac2]"Far from it. My best friend died to them. She was visiting me for a weekend and they decided to break into my house and take us in the middle of the night. My friend..."[/color] Penny made her lower lip tremble. [color=f49ac2]"She distracted them and told me to get out and to run."[/color] Penny looked at Dylan and conveyed what she hoped was anger. [color=f49ac2]"She's dead and I want them to pay for what they did. Now they're scared. Their prey got away and I assume they don't want me coming back to kill them."[/color] 

Penny looked to Charles and tilted her head to the side, anger and grief still evident on her face. Her memory of the night was still beyond fuzzy. [color=f49ac2]"There were... at least four. Maybe eight? This happened about a month ago, so I'm sorry, but my mind doesn't exactly remember. I know for sure there were no more than eight. As far as their patterns... I know their boss used to go to the library every week. That's where I worked. I guess that's how she decided to pick me. I got to know her as a friend. I had no idea what she actually was, until she revealed herself to me and my friend that night. The house they live in is a two story plus a basement."[/color] Penny wondered if Christian had any input. [color=f49ac2]"Oh! And every Friday night, they would have a party. You know- the kind college kids have with loud music and lights? I figured they were just a bunch of college students."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"I'm sorry, I wish I had more information. It was all super traumatic and it comes back to me in bits and pieces."[/color] This was the truth, at least. Penny felt bad abot not being able to give more concrete info. [color=f49ac2]"I knew there was something off about them since the day I moved into that neighborhood. I should've left, then I wouldn't be in this situation."[/color] It was hard bringing all of this back up, but Penny knew it would be and it didn't scare her anymore. She was ready to face it head on.

Annie gave Penny a small smile. "I'm sorry you've had to go through that. It sounds like it was difficult for you. Trust me, Penny, we hunters have our fair share of horror stories. It's only natural you'd want revenge."
