[Ford gets a breath of laughter for the joke before she moves on.]
Thanks. That should help a lot - at least give us a starting point. And I'll share anything we should find with you, of course. In case you need it some day too.
[Ford is probably the only person in Trench who has seen Willow both at her absolute best and her very worst, which makes it far easier to trust his opinion on this. She takes a deep breath. Best to give him the whole story, probably.]
Vampires are demons in my world. So, basically they can turn people, and take over their body, and their memories, but the person that was there before is just... gone. They don't always - I mean, a lot of the time, they just kill, and it's a pretty common thing.
Anyway. There's also a Slayer - she's got mystical powers specifically for fighting supernatural evil. Back home, she's one of my best friends - I've been helping her for years, which is how I got into magic in the first place. Actually, the first spell I ever did was to put the soul back in that vampire I told you about earlier. It was the people close to my friend he was going after.
So, when I found out about Ozpin, all the instincts from home kicked in, and I did what I thought I had to to protect everyone. He's been lying, he's been drinking from Sleepers, he's even been staring at some of the other people who live with us - that's maybe going down a path to some really bad places really fast. I told him to stay away until we could get things figured out, and got Tara to cast that spell I told you about to keep him from coming back in uninvited.
Away from it a little bit, I'm kind of starting to think maybe I overreacted a little. I'd kind of like the opinion of someone I know I can trust, who isn't... you know. Quite so close to it all.
