Another portal opens and Mary in her
fairy form comes through and it closes. She then resumes her human form.
“Well,” said David, “you’re home.”
“Yeah,” said Mary, “I’m home.”
“Where’s Michelle?” asked David.
“In the cave below, preparing to
summon her clan,” said Mary.
“So she’s…” began David.
“Yeah,” said Mary, “she’s fully
embraced her destiny as a Vampire Queen. Well maybe not fully because she still
wants to be a slayer or so she says but that’s where she is at the moment and
what she is doing.”
“Trouble is coming,” said David,
“you know that right?”
“Yeah,” said Mary, “I know.”
Chapter 16
Michelle looks around the dark cave
and begins to wonder how Victoria made her cave a livable environment.
“She
doesn’t have access to witchcraft like I do,” Michelle thought to herself,
“but she might have used that genie she
summoned this afternoon or another one for that matter. I don’t know how old
she is or how long she has been queen so it’s no telling how long that genie
has been in her service.”
As she investigates the cave she
runs into a stone statue of a human girl.
“Ouch,” she cried, “better watch
where I’m going.”
In an instant her vision improved
inside the cave.
“Wow,” she said, “just like that I
say I need to watch where I’m going and my vision improves. I don’t think that
is because of witchcraft.”
She looks around the cave some more.
“Wow,” she said, “my mom wasn’t
kidding about turning people into stone to avoid them becoming vampires.”
She looks at her watch.
“It’s almost 5:30,” she said, “I
need to head upstairs and do some homework and eat dinner. I sure am hungry.
And it would also be interesting hearing how each of these people came to have
my blood in them or at least how my parents knew they had my blood in them.”
She exits the cave.
“Mom, dad, I’m home,” said Michelle
as she enters the house still in the form of the vampire queen.”
“Michelle dear,” said Mary, “Don’t
you think you should return to your human form? If the neighbors saw you like
that it could scare them.”
“Oh,” said Michelle, “I forgot my
form had changed. But how do I change back?”
“I don’t know,” said Mary, “When I
go back and forth to my fairy form I use the gem in my crown and also I wish
for it.”
“Okay,” said Michelle.
“Just close your eyes and
concentrate,” suggested David and wish to resume your human form.”
Michelle does as she is instructed
and in a matter of minutes she looked like a typical 14 year old girl.
“Wow,” said Michelle, “being like
this feels different somehow. I don’t feel nearly as powerful. I
feel…well…almost human.”
“Why only almost?” asked David.
“Because I still sense I have access
to witchcraft,” said Michelle, “if I may be excused, I need to get to my
homework.”
“Go ahead,” said David.
