"No one else sees her..." He muttered softly under his breath, the words lost to the commotion around them, as he finally tore his gaze away from the woman in the flames to survey the crowd. It was just gawkers, no one in panic over the woman still inside the building. He heard Hannah beside him, and he had no clue what to say. He opened his mouth to try and explain himself, but the flames leaped up and the roof of the tavern caved in, tossing charred debris out onto the wooden pier. The malevolent energy disappeared, leaving Leone standing there, suddenly very aware of his surroundings. The fire was still going, and he could just imagine the damage done to the pier below it. "We need to get out of here." He spoke, loud enough to be heard over the commotion.
It would seem that the firemen had the same thought as him as they began to force people back even more. Carefully weaving his way through the crowd, the spirit came to find an empty bench that gave him a good view of the ocean. His mind was going a million miles per hour, attempting to process everything he'd just seen. That woman... Where did he know her from?
He normally was good at matching names and faces. But he was drawing blank cards when it came to the woman. Perhaps that was the part that scared him. Was his memory finally failing him after over two hundred years? No. He could still remember practically every moment, save for more than a couple dull books at the library. He remembered his torturous years of schooling when he was alive, he remembered that long, dreary carridge ride from Salem to this town for boarding school. He just couldn't place that woman. He was missing something. And it was bugging him. That woman hurt people in his town, and he wasn't even close to knowing who she was. He felt his anger rising up inside of him, frustrated with himself for being afraid, for not being able to identify her. The atmosphere of malevolence that seemed to be attached to her, it had nearly choked him out back there. Apparently the humans weren't affected by it.
