Chapter 6: A New Sister

A beautiful Chipette sat by herself inside a hotel room. She grew impatient as she waits for her traveling companion. For the last four days since coming to this small town he has ran off and wouldn't come back till it was almost dawn. She let out an annoyed growl. The town has been growing suspicious of her and her companion's visit. Every night one to two people would disappear. This was not good when visiting a small town. Usually they would stay a day or two to rest and recuperate after a long journey, but for some reason, Simon wants to stay longer. This puzzled Brittany even more.

Even she knew that they would need to leave soon. Brittany stood up from her seat and straightened out her pink dress. She looked out the window. The sky is already starting to show signs of dawn approaching. Deciding not to risk been caught in the first morning rays of the sun, she draws the curtains shut.

Just as she turned around the door opens. Brittany is relieved to see Simon coming in.

"It's about time!" She snarled at him. "I was about to suspect that you might have been hunted down by-"

Brittany stopped lecturing when she saw that Simon was not alone. "Who's that?" She cried out, her voice slightly cracked.

"This is your new sister. Be nice." Simon replied with a stern voice.

"Hello." Jeanette bashfully waves to Brittany.

"Be Nice - with that?" Brittany shrieked.

"First, lower your voice. Second, I have decided I wanted a mate, and she is a perfect mate for me. And besides, you might like the idea of having another Vampire around that isn't under the command of the Master." Simon says.

Brittany looks over to Jeanette, and as if on queue, the timid new Vampiress accidentally knocks over a vase that was sitting on the table next to her.

"Oops. Sorry." Jeanette cringed, as if she was expecting someone to hit her.

With an angry look, Brittany turns to glare hard at Simon. "She is NOT Vampire material!" She growls.

"She'll get use to her powers soon enough." Simon said with a positive grin.

"If you don't get rid of her this minute, I'll leave!" Brittany spat in a threatening tone.

"Good! Please leave." Simon quickly responded. "Look, there's the door. Make my evening complete." He turns away from the tempered temptress, but frowned to sense her presents is still in the room. "Why are you still here?"

"Dawn is approaching. Where would I go?" Brittany huffed in defeat.

With a low growl, Simon shakes his head. "Fine then stay... But I don't want to hear another word about my new beloved." He says without even turning to see Brittany sticking her tongue at him. "Speaking of which, Jeanette, my love, come here a moment. I have a gift for you."

"A gift? What is it?" Jeanette curiously perked up as she walked over to Simon.

"A gift?" Brittany repeated in a whinny tone. "You never gave me a gift." She pouted at Simon.

"You never earned one." Simon growled with dagger eyes at Brittany.

His attention turned back at Jeanette and the soft features on her face. With a smile on his face, Simon pulled a silver sterling pentagram up from under his shirt and pulled it over his head. The last victim he took from the last town he and Brittany hunted in wore this necklace. For some reason Simon decided to take it. He always knew he'd be giving it to someone special. Now he has found that someone special, and is delighted to be giving this jewellery to Jeanette. The Vampire Chipmunk dangles in front of Jeanette's face as if he were trying to hypnotize her with its swaying motion.

"Oh, it's so pretty." Jeanette commented in a dreamy state.

"Yes, it is. Moreover, it's all yours, my love. Allow me to put it on for you." Simon suggested. Jeanette answered him with no words, but a smile and nod of her head.

Simon took pride putting the sparkling jewel around Jeanette's slender neck. Two puncture marks are still visible where Simon bit her just a few hours ago. Simon laughed inwardly knowing that Brittany is still standing a couple of feet away with a jealous and angry look on her face. 'This outta teach her to be arrogant with me,' he thought to himself. After connecting the necklace together, Simon spins Jeanette around in order to see the new Vampiress Chipette in all angles.

"You are simply perfect now, my love." He purrs with pride.

"Awe, you're just saying that." Jeanette blushes.

"Oh, please…" Brittany huffed in disgust.

"Quiet you!" Simon snapped at Brittany. She responded with a low growl, one that sounds much like a wild cat in the jungle. Her eyes begin glowing as she glares harder then before.

Ignoring Brittany, Simon again turns to Jeanette and smiles warmly at her. "Come, you shall stay the day with me in my room. As soon as the sun goes down, we will leave this town. No doubt when these villagers find yet another victim dead in his bed, they will be sure to hunt us for the crime."

The moment that Simon closed the door to his room, Brittany lets out a loud screech before heading to her room for the day.
