"Vampires?" Heather's chocolate brown orbs grew wide as the word slid from her tongue. "Man..it's like all the fairytales and myths from my old children's books are coming to life...," she chuckled quietly, rubbing the back of her neck as she surveyed the situation she was putting herself in. Feeling a warm hand slide onto her shoulder, she blinked in surprise and looked up at her newfound acquaintance. A timid but genuine smile curved her lips upward and she nodded slightly. "Okay..." She didn't know why, but she felt she could trust Preston. And she had a feeling...that she'd just made a friend in this new, bizarre world she'd been thrown into. She had no doubt in her mind she would appreciate it later on... Glancing behind her, she cleared her throat a bit. "Who's that...?" she inquired, subtly motioning to Derek. She could feel those grey eyes boring into the back of her head, like they could see right into her very being. She figured she'd be used to it by now...being the "freak" by most people's standards. "I suppose that never really goes away..." she sighed mentally.
