I'm sorry *he looked at her apologetically and turned fully towards her, his voice becoming a little sterner* and I'm sorry, but there are no vampires terrorizing the townsfolk- *his eyes seemed to widen a bit before he quickly continued* not living here, I mean. I wouldn't know if there are actually any vampires around here, maybe just somebody harming the people's cattle. or a wolf. or a fox. or some other kind of animal hunting cows *he looked away, a bead of sweat running down his face. something didn't add up here; if the boy truly lived out here permanently, how would he know that there's a vampire hunting cows?*
