    “Reluctantly, I pulled out my necklace and showed it to them.

    Samuel frowned. The little figure was stylized; I suppose he couldn't tell what it was at first.

    "A dog?" asked Zee, staring at my necklace.

    Samuel's shoulders shook slightly. "I can see it now, Mercy holding a roomful of vampire at bay with her glowing sheep."
