Stay or go

"STOP!" Xander shouted out again, this time louder with his eyes glowing even fiercer, but still it didn't seem to slow down Vorden's advance. Instead, it just made it so all the students who weren't paying attention before, were now looking in the direction of the others.

'Why isn't it doing anything?' Xander thought. He knew he wasn't anything special when compared to the direct descendants. But this was the class from all the regular vampires. Everyone who was somebody was well known and had already been scouted to enter a family. Even if his influence skill wouldn't work on stopping someone completely, it should have at least had an effect on a no name like the person in front of him.

Yet, for some reason he hadn't even flinched or even slowed down for a second as if it had no effect on him at all. As if the person's mind in front of him was impenetrable.

Then, when the two of them were close enough, Vorden strangely leaned in and put his face right up to Xander's.
