Chapter 13: The Master Mind Behind Her Life
"Dearest Stephanie, how much longer will it be until I finally have you in my grasp?" Vlad asked himself. He watched on a large screen in his lab as Danny embraced Stephanie in a friendly hug. "Hmm..Daniel seems to remember Stephanie quite well now. And that's never a good thing."
Vlad paced back and forth, thinking hard about what he could possibly do next. Danny was becoming a problem; he was getting reattached to Stephanie and that meant he would do anything to protect her.
"Ah, Daniel, always foiling my plans," Vlad sighed, rubbing his chin with his index finger thoughtfully. "If you had joined me a long time ago...if Stephanie had joined me...none of these problems would be in my way right now!" Vlad narrowed his eyes as he studied the two halfas. "I have to get one of them to join with me. Just one. Daniel was my first priority, but I taught Stephanie myself. She's much more experienced and with a little coaxing, she may fall into my possession once more."
The middle-aged halfa paced some more. What could he do? Vlad stopped, staring at nothing in particular. A plan was forming, but it wasn't complete.
"I would try cloning again...but that was a failure, both with Daniel AND Danielle. If Daniel was able to withstand the cloning process, it would be no match for Stephanie. I have to somehow take away her powers...yes...then return her to my castle. With threatening on Daniel's life, I'm sure she'd come around and remember that she belongs to me."
Vlad chuckled a bit, returning his gaze to his screen. Danny and Stephanie were flying home now, both looking extremely happy. Vlad focused the camera on Stephanie's smiling face. He grinned sinisterly.
"You'll be mine, dear Stephanie," Vlad vowed. "Whether it be the easy way...or the hard way. Which ever you choose."
A/N: Okay, like I said, not very long. But it's giving you a general idea where I plan to go with this story. So it's for your guys's benefit, not really mine.
