This town had a fairly high population, that Isaac could see from the past few days of watching it, a few thousand people at the least. That meant that people could disappear or go missing easily. In order to keep from drawing attention to himself, he'd been repeatedly traveling a ways away to feed on the wildlife, doing his best to consume prey only. Tonight he roamed the forest in his lycan form, waiting to find the first person to turn. He remained hidden earlier when he spotted a young vampire girl, immediately spotting her attempted attacker when the arrow was fired. Instead of going after the hunter, he remained out of sight, using his hearing to listen as the hunter later confronted two girls about being in the woods and eventually left.

Once he was gone, Isaac moved quietly to where he could the two girls talking to each other before leaving again, thinking it too much trouble to to deal with both of them. It wasn't until he was about a quarter mile away that heard one of them shout something about forgetting a book, and curiosity bade him go back. He didn't have to, as one of the girls soon walked further into the forest, a bit of a foolish thing to be by herself. Isaac's enhanced sight allowed him to see her inspecting some wild flowers from a distance. She was facing away from him, but he decided to remain hidden and watch to see what she was doing, debating whether to use her as food or bait, turn her, or let her go. If she tried to leave before he made up his mind, it would either be the first or second choice. He used his power of geomancy to sense the ground so that no one could suddenly intrude.
