Detect Authority and allies

We had a debate on this during a recent gaming session:

A Shambling Horde with 3 life rushes vampire Y. Vampire Y plays Detect Authority on [ani]. What is supposed to happen?

a) The Horde burns 2 life and continue the action
b) The Horde ignores the effect since it doesn't have blood
c) The action fails since the Horde cannot burn blood


Detect Authority
Type: Reaction
Discipline: Animalism/Serpentis/Thaumaturgy
Requires an anarch.
[ani] Only usable during a action directed at a minion or location you control. The action ends (no cost is paid), unless the acting minion burns 2 blood immediately.
[ser] +1 intercept.
[tha] Reduce a bleed against you by 2.

Shamblers aren't vampires, vampires have blood, allies have life.

Action ends unsuccessfully since the Shambler can't burn blood to cancel the Detect Authority.

Thanks!

Correct.
