Artemis sighed, staring at him flatly, "Judging by your tone, I would say you're pretty damn sure, and it's not the first time you've encountered my kind." Her tone was neutral as she spoke, "Even if you don't want to believe it, I guess." She ran her tongue over her teeth, knowing it was pointless to avoid the matter now. She just prayed he wasn't a slayer. His tone, and now that she thought about it, a few odd quirks from earlier, indicated he was. She really hoped she was wrong.

Suddenly, the light switch flipped on, casting a bright light onto the room. She pinched the bridge of her nose with her left hand, pacing in a tight circle a few times, "Dammit William...you know I can't lie to you...and right now, I really wish I could. Here." She stepped up to him, only inches from his face. Her eyes were glowing dark red now and she held her mouth open slightly, just enough so he could see her fangs.

Out of habit, she quickly moved back a few feet, crossing her arms. "There, you have your answer. I'm a vampire, and I know that's been on your mind for awhile now. Now what about you?" Her expression softened and her hands slowly drifted to her sides. She spoke quietly now, "Don't tell me my best friend is a slayer...The events before t he theater tell me you are, but...I don't want to believe it."
