Re: Prologue - Clara Jones
River shook her head while she watched the slowly waking girl. "No, she'd have to be completely drained of blood first. She'll be more powerful than an ordinary human for a time, but it will wear off in a couple days." She explains.
The woman's eyes flutter open, and she looks around, confused. "Wh-where am I?" She asks, looking between the two women above her carefully.
"It's ok, you're safe." River says reassuringly. "We saved you, you can go home. But you have to promise not to tell anyone about what happened tonight alright? Can you do that for me?" She asks in a motherly tone of voice. The woman nods, looking around now that she was standing up. "wh-what hap-" She started to ask, but River cut her off. "It's better that you don't know, alright? Just trust me, go home, and don't say a word about his to anyone, promise?"
The woman nodded again, stuttering out a promise and left, much to Clara's amazement. River just watched her until she went out the door, then went back to Brick and started hefting him again. "She'll be fine now, let's get him outta here." She said calmly.
