I stormed into the Archaeology room, Erica and Sarah close behind "Okay, where's what's her face?" Erica asked, turning to the still-shirtless boys.
"The queen prepares for the sun kings return" Benny replied.
"I'm gonna be the chosen one" Rory added.
"Whatever! I'm not leaving without smashing something" Erica said, scanning the room for something to smash.
"Well she seems to like that skull" Sarah pointed out. Looking behind the boys, I spotted the glass skull resting on the desk.
"We will die to defend the sacred skull. Especially Rory" Ethan said, all three boys moving forward defensively.
"Try stoppin' me and you might just get that" I snapped, about to go for the skull. They held out their fists and Sarah grabbed my shoulder, preventing me from moving.
"Wait Bailey, they're under a spell. We need to come up with a better plan" she instructed, I nodded frustratedly.
"Fine" Erica groaned. I turned back around, hissing towards the trio. They flinched, but remained in the fighting stance.
"I'm coming back" I warned before storming out of the room, the girls following behind.
- At Ethan's House -
"Now there are some folks, like my wife, who are worried about reports from certain scientists about a visually swollen solar corona or Sun that may melt the entire planet, but there's no need to panic because it means there'll be a doozy of a sunset tonight at the hour of judgement. All hail the sun king, am I right Miss Lucia?"The guy on T.V asked. The screen changed and Lucia appeared on T.V.
"Yes the altar is ready, the ceremony soon begins. Prepare to welcome the sun king. Back to you Vance" She said. The screen switched back to the news guy and he chuckled.
"Wowza" he smiled. I rolled my eyes, clicking the 'Off' button in annoyance.
"It sounds like the hour of judgement is tonight at sunset, and if we don't act fast the sun's gonna take down our friends with it" Sarah sighed. I nodded.
"True dat"
"Okay, now think. What would the boys do?" She asked, I smirked in thought.
"I got it!" I exclaimed, picking up the house phone.
- A Few Minutes Later -
I sat down on Ethan's bed, Benny's Grandma sat down in between Sarah and I "I'm glad you called me" she said.
"We figured we needed to come up with a plan like Ethan and Benny would" I explained.
"So give up and call you, like Ethan and Benny would" Erica shrugged.
"Lucia is an ancient Maztak name, now the Maztak's were pretty big on gold and animal hearts too. Look" Benny's grandma said, gesturing to the page of the book she held.
"The sun king and the sky queen created the earth together but an argument between the two brought eternal darkness to the world" Sarah said, reading out from the book.
"Too bad they didn't have couples counselling" Erica said, we chuckled.
"Prophets say one day the queen will make an offer so pleasing that the sun king will return to earth in an explosion of life that will end the mortal world" I sighed, reading out the rest of the tale.
"Least I won't have to finish that essay. Yay" Erica cheered, I rolled my eyes.
"Lucia had the boys build an altar at school, she said the hour of judgement was tonight at sundown" Sarah pointed out.
"Well then what are you doing yammering with an old lady? It's up to you girls to save the world!" Grandma exclaimed.
"Grandma's right, it's girl power or nothing. We need to get our geek on and come up with a plan fast" Sarah said.
"Yay!" Jane exclaimed, skipping into the room.
"She said girl power, not little girl power" Erica said, Jane pouted and I smiled in amusement.
- A Few Minutes Later -
"Where's our big plan?" Erica asked boredly.
"I'm trying to find Lucia's weakness and her power source. What exactly are you doing to help?" Sarah asked knowingly.
"Her only weakness is her taste in robes...and glass heads" Erica replied.
"Right, the crystal skull. I bet that's her power source. Check this out" Sarah said, gesturing to the book in her hands. Erica and I walked closer, looking down at the page "The suns rays are lighting up the skull" she explained, pointing to the drawing on the page.
"So what?" Erica asked, shaking her head.
"So what happened in the original myth? Why did the sun and the earth split up in the first place?" Sarah asked.
"Uh...long distance relationships never work out?" Erica tried.
"No, here it is. They split because the moon goddess came between them" Sarah explained.
"Great, gotta give the moon goddess a call. Got her cell number?" Eric asked sarcastically.
"Maybe we don't need the moon, just something to channel it's energy" I suggested.
"Well maybe I'm just a 'little girl', but I know a big geek that spent 6 months of his allowance on moon stones online. He even sleeps with them under his pillow" Jane smirked. I narrowed my eyes curiously, lifting up Ethan's bed pillow. I grimaced as I found a pair of white pants, reaching around them to grab the clear bag underneath.
"Okay got 'em. Let's go guys" I said. The girls nodded and we left Ethan's room.
- At The School -
"I feel so stupid" I complained. With Lucia heating up the world, being a vampire was not good right now, so we'd had to dress up in black to avoid being burnt. We wore black leggings, black-leather jackets, black knee-high boots, black gloves, and large black motorcycle helmets.
"Okay, we got our moon rocks and paint for the windows" Sarah said.
"Sarah we're risking our lives with a plan based on one old legend" Erica sighed.
"Let's just get this over with" I begged.
"Okay c'mon, time to de-throne the queen" Sarah said. Flipping down the eye-cover of the biker helmet, we threw the black paint over the Archaeology classroom windows. Once that task was done, we vampire-sped out way into the school and to the classroom. I dropped the paint bucket to the floor, entering the now-dark classroom with the girls close behind. I pulled off the biker-helmet, shaking out my hair "The weather girls are here with an' updated forecast" Sarah started.
"Yeah, cloudy with a 100% chance of butt kicking" Erica finished. We dropped our helmets to the floor, facing the group of hypnotized-boys.
"Warriors attack!" Lucia demanded. On command, the boys walked towards us.
"Wow, you guys look hot. It's a shame we're gonna have to destroy you" Benny shrugged, standing a few feet in front of me. Rory stood on his left facing Erica, while an unknown boy faced Sarah.
"The chosen one needs your help!" Glancing around Benny, I realised Ethan was tied to a golden table.
"Hang on cuz!" I replied. Benny threw his fist out towards me, but I easily caught it "Sorry" I sighed, slamming the moonstone against his forehead. A purple glow flashed over his body, soon disappearing as he stumbled forward.
"Ethan, catch!" Sarah shouted.
She threw the moonstone towards my still-tied-up cousin, who surprisingly caught it. He pressed the stone against Lucia's head, causing the woman to scream in pain. She moved away from Ethan, her eyes wide as she let the glass-skull slip through her hands, successfully smashing against the floor. A few short seconds after, Lucia disappeared in a burst of fire, falling to the ground in a pile of ash "What happened?" Mr G asked, rubbing his forehead confusedly.
"We just saved the world" I shrugged, smirking proudly.
"And we look pretty amazing while doing it" Erica added, flipping her hair back.
"True story" Ethan sighed. Rolling my eyes, I stood in front of a still-shirtless Benny.
"Look's like I saved your ass" I chuckled, he sighed.
"Yeah sorry about that" he replied apologetically, I shrugged and gently tilted his head down.
"You can make it up to me later" I whispered before crashing my lips against his. His arms wrapped around my waist and he lifted me up against him/
"Definitely" he panted before connecting our lips once again.
