Potion Commotion prt 1
Transylvania, home of the deadliest vampire Count Duckula. The country where horrible screams from the castle brings fear to the hearts of the villagers. In fact, they shiver in fear as they hear frightening roars of anger rumble from that horrid castle.
"NANNY!!" Duckula screamed angrilly at the hen in front of him. She replied by looking at him with a confused expression. Igor, who was standing next to her, rubbed his temples as he felt a major migraine starting to pound in his head.
"Yes, Duckyboos? What is the matter"
"The door!" Nanny turned her head around to look at the huge hole she had made. She wondered why Igor was shaking his head in defeat.
"Oh Duckyboos, always joking with your ol' Nanny. T'ere's no door! Only a huge hole." the hen chuckled. Duckula slapped is forehead as a groan escaped his beak. Igor shook his head in disgust.
"Of all the Nannys I chose when I was my ancestors, why did I choose her?" Count Duckula grunted in disgust.
"Because no one else was willing to work for such little pay?" Igor muttered under his breath.
"What was that, Igor?" "Oh nothing, M'Lord"
"Anyways, Nanny, why did you smash through the door"
"To bring my Duckyboos his cocoa and chocco biccies"
"But Nanny, you have nothing in your hand."
"Eh?" Nanny clucked as she looked down at her good arm. The tray with the beverage and eats were not there.
"For the love of...Nanny, go fetch the cocoa and chocco biccies. Igor, please follow her and make sure she doesn't forget this time"
"As you wish, M'Lord." "OKay, Master Duckula."
As he watched his servants leave, the mallard's angry expression was replaced with one of pity. He remembered what Igor told him a few days ago. Nanny wasn't always like this. In fact, she was extremely smart and attractive eight hundred years ago. But, it all changed when she accidentally drank some of Igor's immortality potion. Igor's smarts weren't affected because he drank another potion beforehand. So, maybe he shouldn't be so hard on the poor hen...
Later, the kitchen
Igor sighed as he watched Nanny make a broccoli sandwich for the young master. She had obviously fogotten why he had sent her here in the first place. But, Igor decided to take advantage of this situation. He excused himself to quickly make a potion. It was a special potion that's supposed to turn you into the complete opposite of what you were. If the master was a proper vampire for a few days, he might decide to become a true one after the effects wore off. He couldn't believe he never saw this potion before in his spellbook before. The solution to his problem was right under his beak the entire time!
The White-Headed Vulture grinned widely as he held the cylinder up high. The brown liquid fizzed as the ingredients blended with one another. The butler chuckled quietly to himself. The liquid looked just like the cocoa drinks his master always drank. He wouldn't even expect a thing if he offered the master this drink. He could always argue the reason why the cocoa was cold was because Nanny made it an hour ago.
The vulture was so ecstatic that he almost uncharacteriscally skipped as he paced back to the kitchen. He quickly poured the potion into the cocoa mug(after he poured the foul cocoa down the kitchen sink) while Nanny wasn't looking. He then took a tray out from the cupboard and placed the mug gently on it. He even added some chocco biccies.
"Nanny, please take the cocoa and chocco biccies to the Master." "Okay, Mr. Igor." the hen nodded in agreement as she took the tray. She then turned her heel to leave. As she left the walked upstairs, Igor ran after her.
"Nanny, make sure the master drinks every single drop of his cocoa"
"Oh don't worry, Mr. Igor. Master Duckula always drinks his cocoa"
"Nanny, he must drink every single drop." Igor stressed each word.
"What did you say, Mr. Igor?" Igor shuddered. Did she become deafer? At such a convenient time?
"He must drink the cocoa"
"What must he do"
"Drink the cocoa"
"Okay, Mr. Igor!" Nanny shrugged as she picked the mug up and took a giant swig from the mug.
"No!! Nanny, what have you done?!" Igor screamed in horror as he watched powerlessly how the hen spoilt his plan. The hen clucked in fear as her body suddenly started to glow. As the vulture watched in awe, Count Duckula appeared in a puff of smoke.
"There you are! Why's my cocoa and choccie biccies taking so long?" the angry mallard demanded.
"M'Lord..." "Hey, why's Nanny glowing"
"I'm afraid Nanny is in a dilemma"
"Huh"
"She accidentally drank one of my potions. I haven't a clue what it might do." He knew it was a blatant lie, but he doesn't want his master to find out what he'd done.
Both fowls turned around in horror as Nanny suddenly screamed in agony. She then collapsed onto her stomach, lifeless.
"Nanny?!" both Count Duckula and Igor shouted in fear as they ran towards her.
