From Chapter 19:[U1]
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.”
Chapter 20
Victoria’s Cave…[U2]
“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.
“Judy,” said Victoria.
“Man,” said Michelle, “I better work
fast, if I’m going to make it to school on time. It’s a good thing I didn’t
rewind time that last run through the loop or I would be going through it right
about now.”
David comes to the door.
“You ready for school?” he asked.
“Yeah,” said Michelle, “I am. I just
need to write in my diary again.”
“Dear Diary,” she writes, “I just
went through a horrible experience. It’s a time parody called a loop where
things continually repeat until something happens to end the loop.
Unfortunately, I was the one to start the loop to begin with. I know now I have
to be more careful when using witchcraft. I’m a slayer/queen. I’m not cut out
to practice the craft and the only way I know to get rid of it is to denounce
it. But I will have to wait until the next full moon to do so and that is a
month away.”
She pauses for a bit.
“Well I’ll be writing again real
soon, I hope,” she writes.
She gets up and exits her bedroom.
The Living Room…[U4]
“I ready to go to school now,” said
Michelle.
“Okay, sweetie, let’s go,” he said.
They exit the house and get into his
car.
“My queen,” said Willard, the chief
guard, “I found a volunteer. Bring her in.”
The guards bring in a female
Atlantisian who was in chains.
“Who is this?” asked Wendy.
“This is a petty thief we arrested
months ago,” said Willard, “she keeps managing to escape and continues her
thieving ways.”
“Will let me go you monster?”
demanded the thief.
“What’s your name thief?” asked
Wendy.
“What’s it to you?” asked the thief.
“I’m your queen,” said Wendy.
“You’re not my queen,” said the
thief, “there’s my queen. She had good ideas to improve the kingdom and you
stole it from her.”
“I didn’t steal anything,” said
Wendy, “It was my throne to begin with.”
“No,” said the thief, “you
officially died meaning she was the true heir and it is her I will serve.”
“Take her to the table and strap her
down,” ordered Wendy.
“At once my queen,” said Willard.
They take her over to the table
despite her struggling to break free.
“You can’t do this to me you
monster!” she yelled, “Queen Whitney wake up! And help your loyal servant!”
They force her down and strap her on
the table.
“Should we begin the transfusion
process?” asked Willard.
“Do it!” ordered Wendy.
“What do you think you’re doing to
me?” asked the thief.
“I’m transfusing vampire blood into
you,” said Willard.
“What?” she asked, “Don’t do that!
I’ll lose my Atlantisian form for 24 hours.”
Willard proceeds with the
experimental procedure. As it occurs the thief begins to go more insane.
“Help! I’m being turned into a
monster against my will! Help!” she cried, “Look at me! I’m already turning
human! I won’t be able to breathe the atmosphere much longer.”
“My queen,” said Willard, “the
process is done; may I go on with step two of the experiment.”
“Step 2?” asked the thief, “what is
step 2?”
“Your death thief,” said Willard.
“My what?” she asked, “Death? But
what did I do to deserve to die?”
“You stole stuff,” said Willard,
“thief and that is wrong in whatever land you live in.”
“I didn’t steal anything from legit
Atlantisians,” claimed the thief, “only the false queen of this kingdom.”
“You stole therefore you are guilty
of stealing,” said Willard, “It doesn’t matter from who. It makes you a criminal
who has no rights and one which we can do anything we want with. My queen,
please may I kill her to just shut her up for 24 hours.”
“Do it,” said Wendy.
He takes an electric wire and wraps
it around her wrist.
“Oh no,” she said, “not electrocution?”
He ignores her and activates the
machine that sends a jolt of electricity into her killing her instantly. He
then walks over to the Queen.
“My queen,” he says, “despite her
cries there was never any signs of her turning human. She never lost her
Atlantisian form at all.”
