Just as she thought, Michelle was
back facing the two rogues. This time however she was fully aware of the time
loop she was trapped in and knew she needed to really act fast in order to end
it. And the first order of business was taking care of the two rogues. She
instantly without hesitating stabbed the two in the hearts turning them into
piles of dust and then picked up the stakes and quickly headed for the ocean to
stop Judy and her gang before they enter the water.
“Stop it right there!” shouted
Michelle, “there is no way I am going to allow you to invade Atlantis.”
“Wait a minute,” said Judy, “where
did you come from?”
“From the depths of your worst
nightmares monster,” said Michelle.
“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 enter
the water on your way there,” 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.”
“No,” said Michelle, “actually I
didn’t. Not this time. Doing that is what triggered the time loop I was in. In
seems you were right and nature always fights to keep the balance the way it is
no matter how much we try to change it.”
“I never said that,” said Judy.
“You would have if I had rewind time
so I could stop you from going to Atlantis but that wasn’t necessary because
this time I got here before you did,” said Michelle, “And I am not going to
allow you to invade than land. They need to be allowed to remained pure
creatures of water. Vampires have no place in Atlantis.”
“If you know everything that has
been said and done during your experience in the time loop then you would know
that we’re not going to Atlantis to invade,” said Judy.
“Right,” said Judy, “because you’re
not going at all.”
She lurches forward and stabs Judy
in the heart and because the sunrise had occurred she began to instantly burned
to ash. And seconds later so were her comrades. Afterwards she gets down on her
knees and grabs her chest.
“I wonder if the time loop has
ended,” said Michelle.
“It has,” said a voice Michelle
recognizes.
“Mom?” asked Michelle.
Mary appeared and then resumed human
form.
“Yes, Michelle,” said Mary, “the
time loop has ended. I hope you have learned your lesson about when to use and
not to use magic.”
“I have but why did the time
reversal I created trigger the time loop to begin with?” asked Michelle.
“Two reasons,” said Mary, “One, to teach
you that lesson. And two, to allow you a chance to slay Judy and her four
cohorts.”
“So they were on their way to invade
Atlantis,” said Michelle.
“No,” said Mary, “they were on their
way to Atlantis, yes, but not to invade. They were going there to stop the
birth of an Atlantisian born Vampire Queen.”
“Wait,” said Michelle, “what? You
mean I slayed them for no reason?”
“No,” said Mary, “slaying them was
the right thing to do because if the people of Atlantis have embraced vampires
in their city then they should be allowed to have a vampire queen if they so
choose.”
“What do I do now?” asked Michelle.
“Go to school,” said Mary, “that is
the only thing that is important at the moment.”
“Yes, mam,” said Michelle, who then
heads back to town.
“Oh my dear child,” said Mary, “I’m
afraid there is only one solution to the problems you are facing. You must be
the vampire queen you were destined to become 24/7. That sweet little girl I
raised is to be no more. I sure am going to miss her though.”

of Chapter 20:
Victoria’s
Cave…
“Soon,
it will be time to end Michelle’s short reign as queen and I will become…,”
thought Victoria when she was suddenly hit with five shots of pain.
“Ah!” she screams.
Other Vampires in cave quickly came
to her aid.
“My queen,” said one of those
vampires, “what is the matter?”
“I was just hit with five shots of
pain in the chest,” said Victoria, “that can only mean one thing.”
“What’s that?” asked the vampire.
“Five members of the clan have been
slayed,” explained Victoria, “as you should know when a member of a clan is
slayed it affects that clan’s queen.”
“Who were the five?” asked the
vampire.
“I don’t know the names of those who
serve me except for my top generals,” said Victoria, “And indeed one of them
was slayed.”
“Who?” asked the vampire.
