From Chapter 18:[U1]
“Well
you better hurry up and body-slam me,” said Michelle, “So you can drink my
blood and avoid the fate rogues usually face with a rising sun.”
“Drink your blood and avoid the fate
of the rising sun,” repeated the vampire, “You’re a queen!”
“That’s right,” said Michelle who
then picks him up and body-slams him, “Oh wait, too late. I win the match.
She looks up at the rising sun and
suddenly it goes back down.
“How did you do that?” asked the
vampire.
“I also acquired witch’s magic
recently,” said Michelle, “How is not really important? What is important is
you have two choices. Both of you do. You can both drink my blood and join my
clan or I can stake you. And to if choose the latter I promise to make your
deaths very painful by making the sun rise early so your bodies can burn. And
if you become indecisive then I will just make it rise anyway to make you burn
without a stake in the heart. So what will it be?”
Chapter 19
“My queen,” said Judy, “I have a
report concerning your two Atlantisian vampires. And I don’t think you will
like it.”
“What’s going on?” asked Victoria.
“They’ve created a new vampire for
your clan,” said Judy.
“And why would I not like that when
it makes me a stronger queen?” asked Victoria.
“They plan according to my sources,”
said Judy, “to turn a young Atlantisian couple into rogue vampires so they can
have a child, Atlantis’ first vampire Queen.”
“I see what you mean,” said
Victoria, “and you are right. I don’t like the sound of this.
“What would you like me to do?”
asked Judy.
“Take a small army of vampires with
you,” said Victoria, “and travel to Atlantis and inform Wendy that I am
ordering her to not go through with this. Any vampire she creates must me as
she is and loyal to me.”
“And if she doesn’t comply?” asked
Judy.
“If she doesn’t comply,” said
Victoria, “Bring her to me so she can be properly punished.”
“I understand,” said Judy.
She looks around and spots four
random vampires and nods her heads. They follow her outside the throne room and
then the cave.
“You know,” said Michelle, “time’s a
wasting and I need to get home and get some sleep. I have school tomorrow. I don’t
want to miss two days in a roll.”
“I much rather be turned into a pile
of dust than serve another evil queen,” said the female rogue.
“I know that you had a rough
experience with your past queen but I’m not your normal queen,” said Michelle.
“Right,” said the male rogue,
“you’re right. You’re also a slayer. Serving you and failing could mean our
demise. I don’t want that.”
“So you two have made your
decision,” said Michelle, “is that right?”
“Yes,” they said in unison, “we
have.”
“Very well,” said Michelle who lurch
a stake into each of their hearts. They gasp for breath as they fell to the
Earth and became immobilized.
“I can’t move,” said the male rogue.
“Me neither,” said the female, “And
I’m getting weaker. I feel hot. Buy why?”
“You’re rogue,” said Michelle, “that means the vampire that made you was
either rouge or third in line to receive a queen’s blood and it was then not
strong enough to make you part of the clan. And when you joined a clan it was
only temporary. I knew that much by just you saying you left a clan after a year.”
“But what does not being part of a
clan have to do with being stake,” said the male, “I thought it just
immobilizes a vampire until the sunrise which does the rest.”
“That is true if you are part of a
clan,” said Michelle, “But rogues become dust instantly.”
But by the time she said this they
were already turned to ash. Then Michelle spots Judy and four other vampires
heading for the ocean.
“Where
are they going?” thought Michelle, “Where
ever it is, it can’t be good. And I better stop them.”
She looks down and sees the two
stakes she used in the two rogue vampires lying amongst their ashes.
“Well
no need to waste these,” she thought as she picked them up.
She then sees the sun is actually
starting to rise.
“What?” asked Michelle, “Is it time
for sunrise already? You mean to tell me that all of that actually took 6-8
hours. To me it felt like 20 minutes.”
She looks up and sees the vampires
inches away from the waste level of the ocean waters.
“Vampires purposely going into the
ocean?” she asked, “this is definitely worth investigating.”
She follows them into the water.
When she dives down she sees the vampires’ bodies were transforms into
mermaids.
“Incredible,”
thought Michelle, “they can become
mermaids. Wait if they can do that then they can enter the city of Atlantis.
They may be planning an invasion. I can’t follow them unless I have a mermaid
form.”
She surfaces and looks at her watch.
“Great,” she said, “I’m going to
miss school again if I follow them. Unless I turn back time as I did earlier to
scare those two vampires. But I wonder if doing so will restore them. It
doesn’t matter. I need to take these five out.”
She returns to dry land; stands tall
and concentrates and slowly the time began to go in reverse. As time reverse so
did the actions of the five vampires about to head to Atlantis. Just as they
are about to dive into the water Michelle stops them.
“Stop it right there!” shouted
Michelle, “there is no way I am going to allow you to invade Atlantis.”
“Oh dear,” said Judy.
“Who are you?” asked one of the
vampires.
“I’m your worst nightmare,” said
Michelle.
“No, you are Michelle Van Helsing,
vampire slayer and vampire queen, the very personification of the word
oxymoron,” said Judy.
“I repeat,” said Michelle, “there is
no way I’m going to allow you to invade Atlantis.”
“Invade?” asked Judy, “who said we
were invading any place?”
“You are five vampires about to dive
into the waist level of the water,” said Michelle, “am I not right?”
“Uh when did you become psychic?”
asked a second vampire.
“The moment I started hunting you
monsters for the purpose of getting rid of you,” said Michelle.
“No,” said Judy, “That’s not true.
You used your access to witchcraft and turned back time didn’t you.”
“What if I did?” asked Michelle.
“You haven’t been around the world
of the supernatural for very long,” said Judy, “so I’ll explain it to you. You
can’t just go around all the time trying to fast-forward or rewind it. When you
do nature will always try to correct the imbalance you created.”
“Well that would explain why the sun
started to rise just minutes after I restored time to its proper point,” said
Michelle.
“Yes, and if you don’t restore time
to its proper point now,” said Judy, “some devastating may happen.”
