Michelle is walking the city streets
searching hi and low for vampires. Her plan was to slay everyone she finds
unless they were her own. But as the night moved on, her desire to call her clan
together grew intense. This starts when she spots a vampire ahead of her. She
pulls out a stake and begins to move faster toward her target.
“Your
time is through monster,” she thought to herself when the pain hit her
chest, “Ah!”
The vampire turns around and
immediately recognizes Michelle.
“My queen,” she says, “What is
wrong?”
As soon as the pain came, it went
away leading Michelle to say, “I’m alright.”
“Why do you have a stake in your
hand my queen?” asked the vampire.
“Well,” said Michelle, “I was going
to slay you tonight but due to the fact that you are in my clan, doing so would
hurt me a big deal. So please run before I change my mind.”
“No, my queen,” said the vampire, “I
can’t do that until I know for you sure you are alright and safe.”
“You are very loyal,” said Michelle,
“but the cause of my pain is the fact that I am 100% vampire queen and 100%
vampire slayer. One side wants you dead and the other wants you to serve me. I
thought I defeated the side that wants your service but it is getting stronger
as the night progresses. I just don’t understand why yet.”
The vampire looks up at the full
moon.
“Could that be why?” asked the
vampire, “those things have different effects on all super natural creatures
including vampires, especially those who can practice witchcraft.”
“That’s got to be it,” said
Michelle, “The moon is calling for my magic to be used tonight. Well I guess I
can give up vampire slaying for now.”
“Where are you going, my queen?”
asked the vampire.
“Home,” said Michelle, “Or at least
my new home in the cave below my old home.”
“May I join you, my queen?” asked
the vampire.
“Yes,” said Michelle, “please. I
would like that a lot.”
They head toward the cave below
Michelle’s house.

The
Ocean outside the City…
“Mom,” said Wendy as they approached
the water, “I know I was mad at you for making us vampires but I realize now
you were trying to save my life and because her blood in me was permanent the
only way I was ever going to return to Atlantis was to become a vampire. What
I’m trying to say is I forgive you.”
“Thank-you,” said Wanda, “that means
so much to me. And I want you to know that I am very proud of you.”
“Do you think we’ll be successful in
convincing them that I should still have the throne?” asked Wendy.
“There is only one way to find out,”
said Wanda.
“Let’s do this,” said Wendy who was
one step away from initializing the transformation from human form to mermaid
form.
She dives off the deck into the
water. Wanda follows her. Their bodies go through a transformation a vampire
has never gone through.
“You
know mom,” said Wendy, “As many times
as I have journeyed between Earth and Atlantis, this process of becoming a
mermaid in the water has never felt so amazing as it does now. It is as if I’m
becoming one for the first time.”
“Wendy
my dear,” said Wanda, “As someone who
has died but somehow is still alive, this is your first time. And mine too.”
“That
makes since,” said Wendy, “but it is
still very amazing.”
They swim deep into the water until
they reach the limits most humans can swim to.
“Well,”
said Wendy, “Once we cross this point
home isn’t that far off.”
“No,”
said Wanda, “It sure isn’t.”
