Chapter 49: Plans

Director POV:

We watched as the rest of the mutants scurried off into the streets. We would let them get a head start, it was only fair. "Yes, about your side of the deal," I turned to Rosalie, sighing at the pathetic distraction that had just taken place. "You will be granted a child as to your preference just as soon as you help me with my side of the bargain." I held up the vial to the light. "There is only an ounce of liquid in here, but I have more stored out back."

"Excuse me, but how exactly are we going to get this into every single plant in the world?" Rosalie asked incredulously.

I sighed again; stupid vampire. "There is a factory called Gosgo, ever heard of it?" When Rosalie shook her head, I continued. "Anyway, Gosgo has factories all over the world. They make industrial equipment and supplies for big businesses. For example, all the companies and stores have Dirt-ex, made by Gosgo, which is an antibacterial wipe to wipe off surfaces and such. You see, everyone uses Gosgo's products…everyone.

"What we are going to do is dump a crate of the Elixir 93 into the world's largest mass-produced plant spray in the world, called Mirigrow. Like I said, everyone uses this stuff; it's on the shelf of every supermarket, found in every janitor's closet, and most importantly, is used by every groundskeeper everywhere. This will be enough to take care of the general public, but as for the national forests—"

Rosalie cut me off. "So how do you know everyone sprays their plants with this Mirigrow stuff, anyway?"

I huffed a short laugh and glared at her. "I happen to know people who are capable of sending an advisory all over the world saying that it has been issued by the government to use Mirigrow daily."

"Won't the government deny those advertisements, though?"

Wow, she really was a stupid vampire. "I am part of the government."

"Oh," she said pathetically. "Go on then."

I rolled my eyes again. "Like I was saying, with the general public taken care of, the national forests and basically all of the "middle of nowhere" places are going to be sought after another way. You see, Rosalie, we have in our possession hundreds of state-of-the-art fighter planes and other aircrafts that you cannot even begin to imagine how strong, fast, and effective they are. We will load the Elixir into the jets and spray the earth foot by foot until everyone everywhere is under our control. Then, we will rule." I stood up straight and smiled darkly. My perfect vision of conquest was all so easy!

"Okay, so what do you need me to do?" The Dumb Blonde asked.

"I need an assistant, someone to help me out when things get…dirty. Your job is to monitor how the world domination is going, and, well, basically serve to my every whim. Then you will get your child. Agreed?" I watched as the vampire thought this over. I could see that leaving her family was hard for her, but she obviously cared more about herself, and her wants, more than anyone else's. That was exactly what I was looking for.

After another second of final thought, she shook my hand, smiling darkly. "We have a deal."

Alexa POV:

We all ran quickly through the crowded streets, yet dodging any annoyed yells or death glares. We skipped gracefully around people in the main plaza, but when we reached the woods we really took off. I noticed vaguely that I was running faster, way faster, then anyone else, including Edward. In fact, as I looked behind me, all I could see was the smear of green whooshing by. They were nowhere to be seen. I slowed down to a stop just under the portal tree. Five minutes later, Edward came rushing into view.

"Alexa," He said, surprised. "How did you manage to run so fast?"

I thought this over briefly. "Oh yeah, remember that elf-enhancement elixir I took back at The Director's headquarters? Must be taking effect." I shrugged incredulously as the rest of the group arrived at the tree.

Edward spoke again. "Is there anything else different? Besides the speed?"

I shrugged, and the whole group leaned in curiously as I turned around and attempted to move one of the car sized boulders close to the tree. Normally, it would have taken a little effort—a small push—but not too great of a challenge to move one. Much to my surprise, though, I merely touched the massive rock and it began hurdling into the trees, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. Cool.

"Yep, my strength improved too," I answered Edward. Hmm, strength, speed, what else was there? Was I smarter too? Better at chess than Edward?! I joked to myself, Impossible!

"Actually, Alexa, you might have a point there. You might just be smart enough to take down The Director—single-handedly I might add. We'd have to experiment with that though." Edward mused quietly, deep in thought. "Wait a minute. Remember back in the laboratory how every elf had their own bottle of "elixir"? Now that we know it works, it wouldn't hurt if the rest of you took it." Edward nodded at the elves. "In fact, it would help us tremendously. What do you say?"

Ambrosia held up a finger, telling us to wait. She paused while she thought it over briefly. "I guess it wouldn't hurt…" She answered slowly, but her face was pained. "But I want to be absolutely sure that there aren't any strings attached first. "

"I will try it immediately." Elfohrys stepped up proudly.

"I will wait with Ambrosia to make my decision," Elyador put his arm protectively around Ambrosia's waist.

"Fair enough," Edward said. "We should act immediately as we have no idea as to what The Director could have done already." I could see that it was hard, really hard, for him to let Rosalie turn against him just like that, but his face was already harsh, concentrated, decided. "After all, this is war."

The suspense is building…
