It's over.

There never was a vampire. Just a girl who'd gone mad.

She had been abused by her stepfather, and it seems to have pushed her over the edge. Her face was disfigured by her father, and he died shortly after; when that happened, she started going insane and believed all sorts of legends about her ancestors being vampires. Her brother tried to protect her from anyone suspecting what she'd done, but that couldn't last forever.

A group of townspeople stormed their home; in the scuffle, the place lit on fire. The brother locked himself in a room with his sister while everyone else fled. The place burned to the groun. Earl Cain tried to go back for them but it wasn't any use.

I'll be glad to be rid of this place. We're returning to London in a few days. Earl Cain seems to blame himself for what happened; it'd be best if we left soon.

True. But she acted that way for a reason.

It doesn't matter. Better she perish than continue to kill.

The best option was to stop her and judge, not murder her.

Maybe so, but mob rule and her brother's impulsiveness seem to have decided the issue.

That's exactly why mobs aren't good polices.

Well, it's not like mobs will wait to ask permission.

True.
