    “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.

    "A lamb," I said defensively, tucking it safely back under my shirt. "Because one of Christ's names is 'The Lamb of God.'"

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

    I gave his shoulder a hard push, aware of the heat climbing to my cheeks, but it didn't help. He sang in a soft taunting voice, "Mercy had a little lamb...”

    “I heard the man and woman cry a warning as I frantically racked my brain for some sort of throat-repairing spell, which I was clearly about to need. Of course the only words that I actually managed to yell at the werewolf as he ran at me were, 'BAD DOG!'

    Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of blue light on my left. Suddenly, the werewolf seemed to smack into an invisible wall just inches in front of me....

    "You know," someone said off to my left, "I usually find a blocking spell to be a lot more effective than yelling 'Bad dog,' but maybe that's just me.”

    “Then you remember the dream,” Mencheres stated. “That bodes ill.”
     
    The fear of that made my reply snappy. “Hey, Walks Like An Egyptian, how about for once you drop the formal stuff and talk like you live in the twenty-first century?”
     
    The shit’s gonna splatter, start buggin’, yo,” Mencheres responded instantly.
     
    I stared at him, then burst out laughing, which was highly inappropriate considering the very grave warning he’d just conveyed.”

    "I so wish you hadn't said that.”

    “Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.”
