The Mid-town
cave center room...
Judy arrives with Michelle’s blood.
“I’ve got some more of her blood my
queen,” she says as she bows before Victoria.
“Excellent,” said Victoria, “Go and
proceed with the plan of feeding that human girl with the blood.”
“I’ll need more time to process it
for transfusion,” said Judy.
“Don’t bother,” said Victoria, “We
all know the best and quickest way to get our blood in them is to feed it
directly to them.”
“My queen,” said Judy, “with all due
respect, the girl will be suspicious if I go and wake her up to drink vampire
blood or blood period for that matter.”
“Respect noted,” said Victoria, “But
is she not sleeping off the blood you fed her?”
“Yes, she is,” said Judy, “May I
concoct a beverage the child might like with this blood in it? That way she
will be drinking the blood but not know it?”
“Yes, you may,” said Victoria.
Judy exits the center room.
One hour later
in the Dungeon…
Judy enters the cell of the little
human girl and carries the beverage she concocted over to the bed. She lays it
on the table and bends down and gently wakes up the girl.
“Sweetie,” she said in a pleasant
voice, “It’s time to wake up.”
The girl begins to stir and sees
Judy and smiles.
“You’re the one who saved my life,”
said the girl, “I didn’t get a chance to say thank you because after I felt
okay I suddenly felt sleepy.”
“That’s because I made you go to
sleep,” said Judy, “You see I have a special power that makes people do what I
want especially when it is for their own good in regard to their health.”
“Oh,” said the girl, “That’s nice.”
“And I brought you a gift,” said
Judy, “See this beverage right here. If you drink it, you too could have
special powers like me. Wouldn’t you like that?”
“Yeah,” said the girl, “but what’s
in it?”
“That is a secret,” said Judy, “that
I am forbidden to tell you. But I let you in on another little secret. Once you
gain these special powers, you will already know what that first secret is.”
“Wow,” said the little girl, “I’ll
take it. But how will I know when I have these powers?”
“Oh,” said Judy, “you’ll know.”
The girl picks up the silver cup and
takes a sip.
“Oh, chocolate milk,” said the girl,
“this is delicious.”
She takes another sip; then another;
then she starts gulping it down.
“Wow,” said the girl, “thank-you.”
Judy kneels down and looks again
directly into the eyes of the little girl.
“I want you to go back to sleep,”
Judy said, “When you wake up in the morning you will be in your own bed and
remember nothing as to what happen tonight after the tent collapse. All you
will know is you were treated and sent home.”
Hours earlier at
the Mid-town Donor Clinic…
“Excuse me,” said a woman, “I
understand a little girl around the age of 8 was brought in here around 9
tonight to receive treatment after a tent collapse on her. Is she alright?”
“What’s her name?” asked the desk
clerk.
“Uh,” said the woman, “Her name is
Susan.”
“Susan?” asked the clerk who checks
the list of names on the injured list, “sorry there is no Susan registered.
However there is a girl whose name was not known. According to this information
she was treated and sent home with the people she was found with at the
collapse site.”
“Those people,” said the woman,
“that was my sister and her husband. I’ll give them a call and see if she is
there. Thank-you.”
The woman exits the clinic.
1:00 the next
morning…
Susan appears in her bed just as
Judy had told her she would but she was asleep the entire time. The parents
were downstairs going fanatic over what was going on. Their worst fears were
that Susan had been kidnapped. It didn’t even dawn on them that she was in fact
being secretly turned into a vampire. Her aunt and uncle had told her mom that
they couldn’t remember much after the tent collapse. They remember being freed
to go home after they received the necessary blood transfusion but after that
it is fussy at best.
“I’m sorry ma’am,” said a police
officer, “there’s nothing more I can do. We are going to continue the search
but whoever took her is probably long gone.”
“Are you saying we may never see our
little girl again?” asked the girl’s father, “because we’re not talking about a
puppy here. We’re talking about a little girl; a human little girl; our little
girl!”
“I understand,” said the police
officer, “like I said we will continue our search but I can’t make any
promises.”
“Officer
Miller,” said a voice in his head, “Go
outside, I have some information for you that will cause a reaction that will
make those parents suspicious.”
“Excuse me,” said the officer, “I
have to check in with headquarters.”
He walks outside.
“Are
you outside?” asked the voice.
“Yes,
I am,” responded the officer.
“The
child is back in her bed fast asleep,” said the voice, “When she awakes she’ll remember nothing
about what happen to her except that she was given a blood transfusion and sent
home.”
“Dually
noted,” said the officer, “What
should I tell them?”
“Don’t
tell them anything,” instructed the voice, “Go up to the girl’s room and reveal she was there all along. Also
assure them that no charges will be filed against them for this but do insulate
that they were lying and that the next time it happens they will be in trouble
with the law.”
“I
understand,” said the officer who then reenters the house.
“Have you checked her room to make
absolutely sure she is not there?” asked the officer.
“Yes,” said the mother, “and she
isn’t.”
“Well let’s go check again,” said
the officer, “shall we?”
The parents look at each other and
then shrugged and led the officer up to the girl’s room. When they opened the
door and saw that Susan was in her bed fast asleep, both of her parents were
shocked. They ran over to the bed to check on her and when the mother touched
her she woke up.
“Mommy?” she asks, “What’s going
on?”
“Oh, sweetie,” said the mother, “I
thought you have been kidnapped.”
“Don’t be silly,” said Susan, “I was
brought home last night by Uncle Sam and Aunt Sally, remember? After the
accident, I was given a blood transfusion and sent home and they gave me a
ride.”
“But they said that you weren’t with
them,” said her mom.
“Well maybe someone else gave me a
ride,” said Susan, “I don’t know or remember. But I’ve been home all night.”
“Ma’am,” said the officer.
“Yes, officer,” said the mother.
“I’m going to let this slide with a
warning not to call us about a possible kidnapping again if it is not true.
Next time you will be arrested. Both of you, understand?”
“Yes, officer,” said the father, “we
understand and thank-you.”
