Well, here's the next chapter. Thanks for the reviews, of course.
It was the next night. Merton Dingle was in his lair as usual, looking up stuff on the Internet. His eyes were narrowed with concentration.
Then Lori burst in.
"Merton," she said, "I have to talk to you."
Merton looked up. "What is it, Lori?"
Lori took a deep breath, let it out, and then said,
"Merton, have you been having any…strange dreams lately?"
"Hmm." Merton thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
Lori replied,
"Because the same thing's been happening to me."
She thought for a minute, then asked,
"Remember our encounter with…Corey Haim?"
Merton nodded. He was able to recall the night they met Corey Haim, then a few nights later, learn of his true nature – that he was a real vampire, his role wasn't entirely fictional, and that Lori was starting to look like a pretty good vampire bride. He could never forget Corey Haim's face. Those eyes. That voice.
Flashback…
"I've brought down bigger vampires than you, Haim!"
Corey Haim growled, his fangs showing.
"Although not as handsome and talented."
End of flashback…
"You know, Lori, my dreams are almost the exact same as yours, only different," said Merton.
"Really?" asked Lori.
"Yeah. For example, last night, I was running through a dark forest. And Corey Haim was chasing after me…"
"Merton…Merton…come to me, buddy. I need you. You'd make a good vampire friend, and Lori'll make a good vampire bride of mine, too."
"I had to keep on running, but soon my strength gave out, and I fell on the grass. I looked up, and there he was, grinning down at me. He reached for my throat, got a pretty good grip, and lifted me up. I had no idea he was so strong. Then he drew me close, opened his mouth, and..."
"What? What happened next?" asked Lori.
"Well, I woke up, actually."
"So did I," said Lori, who then remembered how she had fought Corey before he knocked her out. She was a champion when it came to kickboxing. "I saw how strong he was, too."
Well, read and review!
