Michelle comes out of her trance.
“Man,”
she thought, “that was weird. And not the
first time it happened. Oh well, back to writing to my diary.”
“Man, that was weird,” wrote Michelle,
“I just experienced a blackout. I have been having them over the course of the
last week. But this time was different. This time it was if I was in another
realm of reality or something. I don’t know what is going on but I think it may
have something to do with my mother. My dad or rather my grandfather was very
silent when I asked something about her. He wouldn’t tell me if my mom was as
enthusiastic about hunting and slaying vampires as I am. He was just silent and
that was all. He’s hiding something. I just don’t know what. But back to just
what happen. I was somewhere between this world and another I guess. And I was
speaking to this little girl who had just died and she thought I was an angel
and I told her no I was um…um… well I don’t remember what it was I told her but
it seemed to calmed her then suddenly she disappeared and then I disappeared
and here I am telling you about it.”
She pauses.
“I don’t know what is going to
happen next,” she writes, “but to go back to controlling those two girls. They
are the most powerful students in the school. They control everything. If I
really can control their every move then I might consider using them to get me
elected president of the student body council. Who knows it might just work.”
She stops writing and puts up her
diary.
Aphrodite was visiting with Athena,
her cousin in her bedroom. She is finding out things for the first time.
“You telling me that Michelle is a
vampire queen?” she asked.
“Yeah,” said Athena, “And somehow we
got her blood in us and that is how she is controlling us.”
“Is there a way to stop this?” asked
Aphrodite.
“Killing Michelle is the only way,”
said Athena, “but we won’t be able to do it because if we close to her she’ll
be able to control us.”
“So what we need her to do is to
control us to do things that will actually weaken her not strengthen her,” said
Aphrodite.
“What do you mean?” asked Athena.
“What makes a vampire queen so
strong?” asked Aphrodite.
“The vampires in her clan?” asked
Athena.
“Right,” said Aphrodite, “and what
would killing those vampires do to Michelle?”
“Weaken her?” asked Athena.
“Correct again,” said Aphrodite,
“What if we started going on hunting and slaying exhibitions and get rid of all
the vampires in the community. Don’t you think that will weaken her to the
point we can then resist her control and kill her as well?”
“I don’t know,” said Athena, “she
doesn’t even know she is a vampire queen. And we don’t know what vampires are
loyal to her or to another queen or who are rogue. We would be doing something
that is good for the community for naught if it doesn’t actually weaken her. It
is because her blood is in us that she can control us. It has nothing to do
with the vampires in her clan.”
“I see,” said Aphrodite, “What is
Michelle’s last name?”
“Van Helsing,” said Athena.
“Van Helsing,” repeated Aphrodite,
“that means it is also in her blood to kill vampires. What if we trick her into
wanting us to assist her when she goes out to slay vampires and watch as each
vampire dies if it affects her or not then we will know if she is weakening. It
is when she is severely weaken from multiple slayings of members of her own
clan that we will have an opportunity to kill her. “
“That might actually work,” said
Athena, “but we would have to wait until the exact point where she will be too
weak to fight us before we try to kill her because if she senses we are
secretly planning to kill her she will use her ability to control us to stop it
from happening.”
“Well then,” said Aphrodite, “First
thing Monday morning before school we’ll see if she’ll be willing to take on
some assistance in her quest to kill vampires.”
“Find with me,” said Athena.
“Hey Michelle, wait up,” said Athena
as she and Aphrodite joined her as she went inside.
“What do you two want now?” asked
Michelle.
“Is it true you are a vampire
slayer?” asked Aphrodite.
“Well,” said Michelle who looked
around to see if anyone is watching, “I’m not one yet. I’ve got two more weeks
of training to go before I can actually start according to my dad.”
“We were wondering if we could join
you in slaying vampires,” said Athena.
“I don’t know if that is such a good
idea,” said Michelle, “It’s dangerous. You could be killed. I could be killed
then how would you be able to defend yourself?”
“If you can trained to be a slayer?”
asked Aphrodite, “why can’t we?”
“Okay,” said Michelle, “Allow me to
talk to my dad first about it then I’ll get back to you tomorrow morning.
Okay?”
“Find with me,” said Athena.
“Me too,” said Aphrodite.
“Very well,” said Michelle, “I
better be going. I don’t want to be late like I was last Monday.”
She gives Athena a look and then
laughs.
“But before I do,” said Michelle,
“I’m thinking about signing up to run for Student Body President next year. Do
I have both of your support?”
“Yeah,” said Athena, “I’ll even be
your campaign manager.”
“Good,” said Michelle, “because that
is exactly what I wanted.”
