In this chapter, Sam's going to pay this mysterious woman who's so interested in her a visit, though that's not to say that she doesn't have her suspicions. Little does she know that she's about to become her arch-enemy...
Chapter 6: Nemesis
Sam relaxed in her room. For a while, her eyes hadn't turned red. Perhaps she was doing a good job putting the monsters back inside the book.
Either that, or they had found a way to hide from her.
Near the door to her house, her parents were expecting some mail.
"Here's your letter!" exclaimed a voice.
That of course was the mailman.
"I wonder what's in the mail today?" questioned Sam's mother.
"It better not be jury duty." answered Sam's father.
Fortunately, it was not jury duty.
Instead, it was a letter from the Feratu Estate.
"Feratu Estate?" questioned Pam.
Pam decided to take a look at the letter.
Dear Mr and Mrs. Manson,
You have been invited to a party at the Feratu Estate. There will be many guests and the host is none other than Kari Feratu herself. We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
The Feratu Estate
"Wow! I feel so excited!" exclaimed Pam.
"So do I!" bellowed Jeremy.
At that very moment, Sam walked towards her parents.
"Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad. What are you so excited about?" inquired Sam.
"We just got invited to a party at the Feratu Estate!" exclaimed Jeremy.
"A party? Why would she invite you?" asked the teenage girl.
"Why question it? We're going to a mansion!" bellowed Pam.
"What's so exciting about visiting a mansion? We're already rich." pointed out Sam.
"That may be so, but I heard that it's much bigger than ours!" exclaimed Jeremy.
"Who invited you, anyway?" questioned the goth.
"It's Kari Feratu! Everyone in Amity Park has heard of her!" bellowed Pam.
"She's the wealthiest person in the history of ever!" exclaimed Jeremy.
"What about Vlad Masters?" inquired Sam.
"She's the OTHER wealthiest person in the history of ever!" shouted Pam.
"Why are you so excited about visiting a mansion? We're already rich..." noted the teenage girl.
"Yes, but she's much richer than we are!" bellowed Jeremy.
"Why would she invite us to a party? We don't even know her!" asked Sam.
"Now would be a good time to get to know her then!" exclaimed Pam.
"Did I mention that her first name rhymes with "Scary"?" inquired the girl.
"Stop being such a party pooper! Why can't we just go out and have fun?" inquired Jeremy.
"Alright, fine. But I still don't feel comfortable about this." answered Sam.
"Good! We'll wait for you in the car! Get ready!" exclaimed Pam.
Immediately, Pam and Jeremy went inside their car and buckled up.
Sam decided to take a look at the letter.
"At least the letter looks innocent enough..." thought Sam.
Suddenly, she noticed that there was a splotch of blood on the letter.
"Or not." answered the girl.
Reluctantly, she entered the car along with her mother and father. Something told her that her parents had no idea what they were getting into.
In the process, she left behind the Monstronomicon.
Meanwhile...
"So...was the invitation sent?" asked Kari Feratu.
"Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Manson called us and told us that they were on the way here." answered the butler.
"Good. Apparently they don't suspect a thing. Everything is going according to plan." stated the vampire.
"What was the plan again?" inquired the man.
"Not now! The audience is reading this! You'll spoil everything!" bellowed Kari.
"Sorry!" apologized Kari's butler.
"Here, I'll whisper it into your ear." said the billionaire.
Immediately, Kari whispered into Kari's butler what her evil plan was and what it meant for the Mansons.
"What about the scared rights of guests? Apparently you're throwing that out the window." noted the butler.
"Well, MOST of the guests are going to enjoy the party. Just not all of them." answered Kari.
"I see..." nodded the man.
"Now then, be sure to answer the doorbells for me, will you? We don't want to keep our guests waiting." said the woman.
"Yes, my lady." answered the butler.
Immediately, her trusty servant went to stand guard at the door.
"Soon the Monstronomicon shall be mine..." remarked Kari.
About half an hour later...
"We're here!" exclaimed Pam.
"Oh joy." remarked Sam.
Curious, Sam decided to take a look at the mansion. It was black as ink and the windows were colored red. Also, there appeared to be gargoyle statues standing right outside the door. It gave her the creeps. The door was colored orange.
Jeremy rang the doorbell.
"We're here!" exclaimed Jeremy.
Immediately, Kari's butler opened the door.
"Come right this way." answered the man.
"Well, I suppose it's going to be a honor to meet Kari Feratu in the flesh...even if I don't really trust her." answered Sam. She already knew from Vlad Masters that not all aristocrats were to be trusted.
At that very moment, she heard footsteps. Somebody was walking down the stairs.
"Greetings. I'm so glad that I have guests coming to pay me a visit." spoke Kari Feratu as she walked down the stairs.
Sam noted that for some strange reason that Kari Feratu was wearing an outfit that she would never wear in a lifetime. Why would she ever want to dress in white? She was astonished. And why on earth did she love dresses?
On the other hand, her parents admired her fashion sense.
"You look beautiful!" exclaimed Jeremy.
"Thank you. I've had a lot of people compliment me on my beauty. Perhaps that's how I got so popular in the first place." noted Kari.
"So, where are all the party guests? This mansion seems deserted..." answered Pam.
"Oh, that...well, it's going to take some time before all the guests get here. Until then, why don't you relax at my mansion for a while, will you? In a day or two we'll have up set up the decorations and all the guests will be here." asked the lady.
"Yes!" exclaimed Pam and Jeremy.
"Fine..." answered Sam.
Immediately, Sam, Pam, and Jeremy decided to take a look around the mansion. Scattered throughout the mansion were portraits of Kari's various ancestors.
Curious, Sam noticed Kari entering her personal chambers.
She decided to knock on the door. Maybe she was just being paranoid and Kari really was a nice lady. If that was the case, she would like to get to know her.
"Come on in." answered Kari.
Currently, Kari was standing on a sofa in front of a fireplace.
Sam noticed that for some strange reason there was a portrait in the room...but the picture inside the portrait had been ripped out. Apparently she had gotten mad at someone and had thrown their picture in the fireplace. But who exactly was it?
"Why exactly did you rip out that portrait?" thought Sam.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. It's someone that I met a long time ago. Anyways, he's dead now." answered Kari.
"I see..." nodded the girl. Sam was starting to wonder if Kari had something to do with his death.
"Anyways, I heard that you managed to grow a beanstalk...that's rather impressive, wouldn't you say?" questioned the lady.
For some strange reason, Kari Feratu sounded like Kari Wahlgren. It was rather ironic.
"Yeah, it was crazy." nodded Sam.
Currently, Tucker was trying to climb a beanstalk.
"Maybe there's a golden goose up there!" exclaimed Tucker.
Suddenly, the golden goose started to fly away from Tucker.
"Come back!" bellowed the boy.
"Have you seen my golden goose by any chance?" asked a loud and booming voice.
"Right now she's resting on a tree over there..." explained Tucker.
"Alright then." answered the giant as he began to climb down the beanstalk.
"Have you also heard of what's been happening at night recently? There's a vampire going around protecting Amity Park from danger...much like a certain ghost boy, I believe. They call her Sammi Bloodsucker..." questioned Kari Feratu.
"Yes...she's quite a heroine, isn't she?" inquired Sam.
"I've been looking forward to meeting her personally." noted the lady.
"You don't say?" questioned the teenage girl.
"Well, you go relax in your room. Let me know if you need anything." answered Kari Feratu.
"Thanks..." stated Sam. The more she interacted with Kari, the more mysterious she seemed. Who exactly was she?
She decided to go to her room and relax on a nice warm bed for a time being.
Taking a look, she noticed that the sun was going down.
"How long was I talking to Kari Feratu again?" questioned Sam as she took a snooze.
A few hours later...
Sam yawned as she got out of bed. Right now she was looking forward to having a nice refreshing glass of milk.
However, as soon as she stopped outside, her eyes flashed red.
"Looks like I'm going out for blood." answered Sam. She wanted something to do anyway.
Immediately, she transformed.
As it turned out, there were living statues patrolling the mansion. They seemed to be possessed by spectral energy.
"I hope Kari doesn't mind that I break these..." noted the teenage girl.
Quickly, she began to shoot spectral energy at them.
As soon as it hit one, cracks began to appear.
Immediately, the living statues began to run after her.
However, Sam transformed into a bat and flew to the ceiling.
The living statues wondered where she had gone.
Their question was answered when suddenly she began to make an ectoplasmic bomb.
"I wonder if Danny ever managed to do this..." answered Sam. Since she was a vampire instead of ghost, the ectoplasm might work a bit differently for her.
The living statues noticed the bomb too late.
The bomb exploded, causing statue fragments and ectoplasm to scatter everywhere.
Unfortunately, since Sam had neglected to bring the Monstronomicon with her, she wasn't going to be able to suck them inside.
However, it appeared that the statues wouldn't be causing trouble regardless.
"You know, I was expecting more of a challenge." remarked Sam.
"That can be arranged." answered a scary-sounding voice.
Sam looked around her, and gasped in shock.
Standing in front of her was some sort of vampire lord.
Oh wait, it was a vampire lady. This vampire was female.
"Another vampire!" exclaimed Sam.
"Another vampire? Oh, that's a half-truth." answered the vampire lady. What exactly did she mean by that?
Sam noticed that the vampire lady had long green hair, had pale white skin, green eyes, had two very large wings, was wearing a ripped green dress, had rather sharp claws, as well as green high heels. Her ears were also rather pointy like an elf.
Since she was a vampire, she couldn't really expect anything else.
"I'm taking you down!" exclaimed Sam.
"That's a rather bold statement. But I think you're rather outmatched." answered the older vampire.
Immediately, Sam shot an ectoplasmic ray at her foe.
However, much to her surprise, as soon as she hit the vampire, it burst into a swarm of vampire bats that began to swarm her.
"Aargh! Get off!" exclaimed Sam.
Immediately, Sam let out a screech and the bats left her be.
"Looking for me?" asked the real vampire lady.
Once again, Sam rushed to attack her.
Suddenly, the room was shrouded in darkness.
"Where did she go?" asked the teenage vampire.
"Are you still looking for me?" inquired a voice in the darkness.
Suddenly, Sam found herself being slashed repeatedly by the vampire's claws.
"Ow! This really stings!" bellowed Sam.
"I've been sharpening them lately. Maybe yours will come in someday." noted the vampire lady.
"Maybe..." answered the girl.
"By the way, I see that you've been drinking ectoplasm. I've been drinking quite a bit of it myself since I came here. Would you like me to demonstrate?" inquired the elder vampire.
Sam gulped.
Immediately, the vampire lady shot a large ectoplasmic ray at Sam...which unfortunately was bigger than any ray that she could create.
"You may be a vampire girl, which I will admire...but you're ignoring reality. You may be strong, but you're only a teenager. I'm an adult and I've got years of experience over you!" exclaimed the vampire lady.
"You got that right..." answered Sam. This was a fight she could not win, it seemed.
She was starting to know how Danny felt when he went up against Vlad Plasimus for the first time. This wasn't going well at all.
Immediately, Sam transformed into a bat so that she could try a sneak attack on her foe.
However, her opponent was one step ahead of her.
"Transforming into a bat, are we? Well, you probably won't mind if I do that too." answered the vampire lady.
Immediately, she transformed into a vampire bat...an enormous one bigger than any bat that she had ever seen. In fact, it was about half the size of a human being.
Quickly, the vampire bat began to chase after her.
She tried to fly away, but her opponent was too fast.
Immediately, her foe slammed into her and knocked her into the ground.
Sam transformed back into her regular vampire form state.
Her opponent decided to do that as well.
"And now it's time for my favorite part." noted the vampire lady.
Immediately, she opened her mouth widely, revealing her vampire fangs.
"Oh heck no..." answered Sam.
Wasting no time, the vampire lady rushed towards Sam and sucked out her blood.
Already weakened from her battle with her enemy, Sam passed out on the spot.
A familiar puff of black smoke appeared and she transformed back into her human form.
"Just as I thought. Sam Manson IS Sammi Bloodsucker. Well, they both share the first name, don't they?" inquired the vampire lady.
"Well, I might as well take this lady back to her room. She has a LOT to learn."
Suddenly, the vampire lady changed form as white smoke filled the room.
First, her vampire wings retracted into her back. Then, her fangs disappeared. Her green dress began to repair itself and became white. The same happened to her other articles of clothing as well. Her formerly pale white skin started becoming much darker.
Eventually, she was a normal human being.
That human being was Kari Feratu.
"That was a good feast." noted Kari.
Suddenly, Kari let out a burp.
"Whoops. It's a good thing everyone else is sleeping." acknowledged the lady.
Immediately, she took Sam Manson back to her form. Since she had the healing factor of a vampire, her injuries were already starting to heal.
"Good night. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's going to be a blast." remarked Kari Feratu.
Making it look like Sam had never left the room, Kari shut the door and went back to her chambers.
She then relaxed on her bed.
"Now, if only she'll tell me where the Monstronomicon is...I guess I'll just have to resort to bribery." thought Kari.
Immediately, she began to laugh evilly.
And it looks like Sam isn't the only vampire around. And yes, you're probably reminded of "Bitter Reunions" from Danny Phantom...since I liked that episode I figured I would make a chapter or two based on that.
In the next chapter, well you probably already know what's going to happen. Kari is going to try to take Sam as her apprentice...and since Sam can't take Kari on alone she's going to get Danny's help.
Now that I think of it, neither Sam or Tucker appeared in Bitter Reunions. That's a big difference, huh?
Bye-bye now!
