Michelle suddenly begins to move
again.
“It worked,” said Michelle.
“Are you my beautiful granddaughter
or that ugly monster that resides inside?” asked Mary.
“I’m both,” said Michelle, “I formed
a partnership with her. When I need to be a vampire queen I will let her take
over. But when I need to be the slayer I will have control.”
“So in regards to your
split-personality,” said Mary, “you have done nothing but officially create
one.”
“Yeah,” said Michelle, “technically,
I have.”
“You know if people find out you
have a split-personality then they’re going to want to lock you up,” said Mary
who was resuming human form.
“Let them try,” said Michelle, “Now
about that seal to this cave.”
“My queen,” said Judy, “my sources
tell me that we’ve been tricked. It wasn’t the queen who won control but the
slayer.”
“Interesting,” said Victoria, “She
sure did pull it off pretending to be the queen. Well I guess she’ll be
contacting me for those body guards for sure.”
“I’ve already got the vampires I’ve
chosen to go with me on stand-by,” said Judy, “We are waiting for your signal
to go.”
“Very well,” said Victoria.
After trying several spells,
Michelle finally manages to break the seal to the cave. And sure enough a genie
maker shows up to put Michelle in a bottle.
“It’s about time you showed up,”
said Michelle.
“You’ve been expecting me?” asked
the genie maker.
“Yeah,” said Michelle, “Every since
I found out that breaking the seal on this cave with witchcraft would draw one
out. But if you know who I am you wouldn’t even bother attempting to put me in
that bottle.”
“You’re a witch,” said the genie
maker, “that is all I have to know.”
He summons a bottle and removes its
lid.
“Become a genie,” he commands.
Pink smoke comes out of the bottle
and begins to surround Michelle but when it dispersed she was still standing
there. She laughs when his genie making spell didn’t work.
“I don’t understand,” said the genie
maker.
“I’m not a witch,” said Michelle, “I
just have access to witchcraft which I will use to do this.”
She waves her right hand one time in
a clockwise direction creating a circle of swirly lights.
“Turn to stone!” she commanded as
she throws the lights to him and slowly he begins to turn to stone.
“Before you are completely turned,”
said Michelle, “What happens to all those witches you made into genies?”
“If they are in my special hidden
vault,” said the genie maker, “they are trapped forever.”
“And if they are in the service of
another?” asked Michelle.
“They’re return to normal the next
time they are released from their bottle or immediately if they are already
outside,” he says as his head turns to stone.
“Michelle,” said Mary who was
watching all of this take place, “why did you turn him to stone?”
“To teach him a lesson,” said
Michelle, “Not everyone who has and uses witchcraft is evil.”
“But you just proved to him that
they are,” said Mary.
“Okay,” said Michelle, “I’ll reverse
the spell but not until you tell me something.”
“Yes?” asked Mary.
“If I reverse the spell will all
those genies he created still go free?” asked Michelle.
“Only if he has been a stoned statue
for 24 hours or longer,” said Mary, “that’s the one thing he didn’t tell you.
The genies won’t be freed until then. Remember after 24 hours…”
“They’re dead,” said Michelle,
“okay.”
She waves her right hand in a
clockwise direction one time creating a circle of lights and throws them at the
stoned statue of the genie maker.
“Return to normal,” she says and in
an instant he was flesh and blood and gasping for breath.
“Why did you do that?” he asked.
“To teach you a lesson that not
every witch is evil,” said Michelle.
“But you just proved that they are,”
said the genie maker.
“Yes,” said Michelle, “so I’m told
but I’m the kind you should go after not the kind you shouldn’t.”
“But I still don’t understand why
you didn’t become a genie,” he said.
“Because of two reasons,” said
Michelle, “My last name is Van Helsing. And I’m a Vampire Queen!”
The emphasis she used to identify
herself caused an instant transformation from teenage girl to vampire queen.
“A Van Helsing that is a Vampire
Queen?” he asked, “I’ve been in the genie making business for centuries and I
never thought for once I would see this.”
“Now unless you want me to turn you
to stone again,” said Queen Michelle, “I suggest you leave at once.”
The genie maker vanishes from sight.
“Michelle,” said Mary, “are you
still you?”
“Yeah,” said Michelle, “I’m still
here.”
“Your look is different you know,”
said Mary.
“Yeah,” agreed Michelle, “I don’t
know who this happen.”
“But
I do,” said the voice.
“Oh no,” said Michelle, “not again.
I thought when we form our partnership that you wouldn’t ever communicate with
me again.”
