Randy didn't move his eyes from where Sibella stood. Even with the sun by his side, he would have a hard time dealing with Sibella without alerting his mother. The heat from the sun was keeping him alert and making the stand off feel like one of those he'd seen in westerns. He awaited her answer as patiently as a thirsty man would wait for the rain as soon as he saw the large black clouds. He reminded himself that he had a choice as well as Sibella's. If she attacked him, he'd have to battle her but he would not kill her. She was innocent in all this. She was not to be blamed for her father's actions. Randy reminded himself of that but he steeled for the battle ahead of him.
"I guess that leaves me at your mercy and your care." Sibella said.
"My what?" Randy asked, confused, dropping his stance.
"I am not unaware of the things my father did. Even my own mother was not excused by his actions. After I was born he did with her what he usually did to any woman that crossed his path." Sibella revealed.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Randy replied. "But why would that leave you in my care?"
Just then Randy's phone began to vibrate. He briefly looked at it as did Sibella.
"You mind if I?" Randy asked.
"Um, not at all. How is that thing moving around? Is it possessed?" Sibella asked, looking at the phone with curiosity.
"...Right." Randy replied, putting his sword away.
The Ninja of Norrisville picked up his phone, spotting the caller ID being Gothetta. He picked up the call, wondering why she was calling him so early in the morning.
"Hello, Gothetta?" Randy answered.
"Randy! We've got a big problem! Sibella is nowhere to be seen!" Gothetta screamed. "Phanty just woke me up! We checked and she isn't in the coffin we had for her. We need to find her before it gets out that she escaped."
"Gothetta, please, calm down. She's here and-" Randy replied.
"What?!"
"Shhh." Phanty shushed.
"How did she find your house? How did she get there without turning to ashes?" Gothetta whispered into the phone.
"She followed your scent, supposedly. And apparently she's not a full vampire, she's half human." Randy replied before Sibella clung to him, trying to see what he was doing.
"How are you speaking with Miss Gothetta through that thing? Is it like those tiny men and women in that box back at the mansion?" Sibella asked, unknowingly pressing her breasts against Randy's back. "Hello, Miss Gothetta! Can you hear me?!"
"Sibella get off, please!" Randy whispered back, hoping not to wake up his mom or any of the vampires on the other end of the line.
Back at the Gracey Manor, Gothetta was trying really hard not to break her phone. Her eyes were glowing with rage as Phanty tried to calm her down.
"Don't let her out of your sight and keep your distance. We'll be right there." Gothetta said, hanging up the call.
"I don't know why but you are really hot when you're territorial over Randy." Phanty commented.
"Tell Elsa to cover for us, we're going to get the princess before she sinks her fangs on our man." Gothetta growled.
"Yeah, that's your territory, right?" Phanty asked, kissing Gothetta's cheek. "Just remember you're meant to share." She added before flying ahead of the vampire girl.
Gothetta sighed, grabbing the bracelet that Randy had gotten her. She didn't like to get that territorial but she didn't like another vampire girl getting close to her man.
Back with Randy and Sibella, she'd gotten ahold of his phone and her eyes were glued to the screen. She was swiping and looking at the applications, videos, pictures, games and all the wonders of the internet. She clicked on almost anything that popped on the screen. She was currently watching one of the many cat videos that plagued the internet like it was the second coming. Stars littered her eyes as she saw the kitty playing the keyboard.
"My goodness. I had no idea that cats were this skilled at playing music. I always thought that they didn't have souls." Sibella commented, scrolling down the phone.
"You know, when you took my phone I thought you'd be trying to keep me from getting in contact with my friends. But I think this is like when a baby is given a toy to entertain himself." Randy comented.
Randy meanwhile had taken off his mask and was just staring at Sibella with curiosity. He didn't know if he should get the phone away from her, but that was keeping her from doing anything that might cause trouble. He had never seen anyone be this taken in by technology since he and Howard went a whole weekend without their phones or any form of video games. In his eyes, Sibella was someone that might get hooked on the internet if not taught self control. But what was the worst she could get into with unlimited access to the internet.
"Excuse me Master Randy, but what does 'porn' mean?" Sibella asked. "I'm going to see what it is."
"Wait, Sibella don't touch that!" Randy snapped, reaching for his phone.
Randy pulled his phone away from Sibella's hands.
"You are not ready for that! No matter how old you are, you will not watch that on my phone." Randy said, closing the window and putting his phone away. "Now, going back to what you said-" He began only to hear knocking coming from his door.
Randy turned to the door with fear of what could be on the other side.
"Randy, what's all that noise? Are you okay?" Elizabeth asked from the other side of the door.
"Oh crap." Randy whispered.
Randy looked for a way to get rid of Sibella. It would be very bad if she found Sibella with him in his pajamas.
"Oh, is that your mother? I should introduce myself. After all, I will be living here for the time being." Sibella said, walking to the door.
"What was that?" Randy snapped.
Just as Sibella was about to grab the doorknob, Randy pulled her away. He pulled her up by the waist and started walking towards the closet. He wasn't prepared to explain to his mother what was going on, much less why she wanted to stay here.
"Randy, are you awake?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah mom, I just stubbed my toe with one of my books." Randy replied, opening the closet with his foot. "I'll be out in just a second."
He was just about to put Sibella inside the closet, but she started thrashing about. As soon as she saw the closet she started to panic a bit. As Randy held onto Sibella, she thrashed in his hold to avoid going into the closet or any dark space. It was as though going away brought back bad memories for her.
"No, please, I'll do anything but don't put me in there." Sibella begged, thrashing and kicking at the closet.
"Please, calm down, Sibella." Randy said.
Sibella accidentally elbowed Randy in the face, causing him to lose his balance.
Randy fell down with Sibella on top of him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, master." Sibella said on top of Randy.
Randy's view was blocked by the sight of Sibella's bountiful chest. If he reached up with one hand, he would've gotten a handful of them. They were as big as Elsa's now that he got a good look at them. He couldn't understand how women were so big when they were not entirely human. Maybe he had something for monster girls. He certainly had a way of attracting them to him.
"Get your fangs off him, you bitch!"
Randy and Sibella turned to see Gothetta tackle Sibella off of Randy.
Gothetta and Sibella turned and fought on the floor like a pair of angry cats fighting. They bared their fangs at each other, pulling each other's hair while rolling on the floor.
"What the hell did you think you were doing with my boyfriend?" Gothetta asked, straddling Sibella while pulling her hair.
"What are you saying? Get off me!" Sibella snapped, pushing Gothetta off of her.
They continued rolling around, knocking stuff from the shelves and the drawer.
Randy rushed to separate the two vampire girls before their noise got his mom's attention. However, that was easier said than done for him.
"Wow, she went all out as soon as she saw Sibella on top of you." Phanty commented as she flew into the room.
"Randy, that's it! I'm coming in!" Elizabeth said, opening the door just as Randy, Gothetta and Sibella fell in front of the door.
They all remained quiet as they looked at each other.
"...Hey mom." Randy said.
"Uh… Good morning Mrs. Cunningham." Gothetta finally said.
"It is a pleasure to meet you ma'am." Sibella added, feeling embarrassed by her position.
Elizabeth's face turned from surprised to smiling. She was giving her son and the two young girls an eerie feeling.
"Randy… would you, Gothetta and this other lady kindly go to the dining room to explain what is going on… NOW!" Elizabeth downright roared at them, causing them to run to the dining room. "I swear he is worse than his father sometimes." She silently muttered.
Randy, Gothetta and Sibella were all sat down at the dining table with Randy's mother at the other end, glaring at them like a veteran cop trying to break in a rookie criminal for information.
"Mom, I-" Randy began, only for Elizabeth to shush him with a glance.
"Alright. Now, I want you each, one at a time, to tell me what is going on. Starting with who this young lady is and why were you fighting with Gothetta?" Elizabeth asked, gesturing to Sibella.
Randy and Gothetta shuddered in fear. They both knew how inquisitive Mrs. Cunningham was when she put her mind into it, and Sibella would probably crack under her scrutiny. They needed to do something to clarify the situation and cover the things that needed to be hidden.
"My name is Sibella, lady Cunningham. I am at your services as well as your son's." Sibella introduced herself.
"Services? Randy, what is she saying? Who is she?" Elizabeth asked her son.
"Well, I um…" Randy began.
"She's my sister, Mrs. Cunningham." Gothetta intercepted.
"She is?" Elizabeth and Sibella asked at the same time.
Gothetta quickly kicked Sibella, making her shut up without taking her eyes off of Elizabeth.
"She is." Randy said in hopes of validating what Gothetta had just said. "She's from the same school that Gothetta goes to."
Elizabeth looked at Sibella and then at Gothetta, trying to find any resemblance. Despite their small similarities, she couldn't see any familiar resemblance. If anything, Elizabeth would've believed that they were distant cousins at the very least.
"I'm so sorry that you met her in such a manner. She's a really sweet girl, I can assure you." Gothetta said.
"I bet. Why were you two fighting in my son's room then?" Elizabeth asked.
"Oh, she thought that I was trying to seduce him." Sibella blurted out. "But you need not worry, I would never get in between their relationship. I merely wish to offer my services given our situation."
Randy's eyes widened in shock at what Sibella was pointing to. If he didn't intervene their secrets would be out for his mom to know.
"What situation?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well you see mom. Gothetta and Sibella, well…" Randy began.
"Randy, please." Gothetta said, placing her hand on Randy's shoulder. "Mrs. Cunningham, there is no easy way of putting this but… The truth is our mom is kind of an adventurous woman, and got pregnant with us with one of her flings." She said, causing Elizabeth to lose her composure a bit.
"Wait, what!?" Elizabeth asked.
"It is true I'm afraid. She was always one of those party girls you see on TV and as soon as we were of age she dumped us in our school. She didn't even know who our fathers were." Gothetta said.
"Fathers?! With an 'S'?" Elizabeth asked.
"She didn't want the responsibilities of a parent to take away her freedom. Which, as you can see, had an effect on my sister. She hid in this fantasy world with some old traditions that made her feel better about our situation." Gothetta continued.
As Gothetta explained the situation, Randy could tell that she was using a lot of her first hand experience. Her words were filled with anger and disappointment towards her mother and the way of life she led. He placed his hand on her shoulder before hugging her.
"Oh my goodness. Gothetta, honey. I had no idea that you and your sister had such a rough time." Elizabeth said before going over and hugging the two girls.
"Does this mean that we are welcome to stay?" Sibella asked.
"Oh yes, if you ever come over you are welcomed."
"Then we will be in your care then, and I am at your service." Sibella said as they broke the hug.
"Oh, um, what should I say?" Elizabeth asked her son in a whisper.
"Just say yes, I don't think she means anything bad." Randy whispered back.
"Yes, you'll be in our care, Sibella." Elizabeth replied.
"I promise to serve you faithfully, Lady Cunningham." Sibella said, bowing in respect.
"I could get used to that name." Elizabeth said. "I'll just get in contact with your school to tell them that you're alright."
Elizabeth walked out of the dining room, leaving the three young adults on their own.
As soon as Randy's mother was out of hearing range, Randy and Gothetta let out a sigh of relief.
"That was too close." Gothetta said.
"Yeah, I don't want one of those any time soon." Randy added before turning to Sibella. "By the way, you haven't explained what you mean by being under our 'care'. What does all that mean?"
"I would like to know that too, sis." Gothetta asked, giving Sibella a glare.
"Oh, well I expected Master Randy not to know what it meant but would've hoped that such a tradition was taught to a fellow vampire. I suppose our mother forgot to mention it." Sibella said.
"Do not bring that woman into this!" Gothetta snapped.
Randy quickly calmed her down so as to not call the attention of his mother. He really hoped he never had to ask that woman for her blessing, he'd much rather ask Lady Kryptina for it. However his thoughts were changed back to Sibella and her reasoning behind the strange tradition.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect. The tradition states that any vampire that is struck down by another, human or not, is entitled to everything and anyone that vampire used to control." Sibella explained, earning confused looks from Randy and Gothetta. "That means that as one of my father's possessions and servants, I am now yours Master Randy. I hope to live up to your expectations and to be in your care." She added, giving him a cordial bow.
Randy and Gothetta stayed in silence. The words that Sibella had just told them that she was now what was technically Randy's servant. They didn't know how to react or even say to make her change her mind.
"What?!" Randy and Gothetta asked at the same time.
"Is there like an exception to that tradition?" Randy asked.
"What exactly do you mean by being 'his'? Like a maid or a form of wife?" Gothetta asked.
"Well I am aware that Master Randy has a relationship with you, Miss Phanty, Miss Elsa and Miss Heidi, so I wouldn't be against being part of that relationship should he ask me." Sibella said, blushing at the thought. "Although I must admit that I do not have any experience in any of it. I haven't even had a proper kiss from the man that would become my husband."
"Wow, so she's like an extra virgin girl." Phanty said, finally making her presence known. "I am intrigued."
Randy and Gothetta yelped at the appearance of the ghost girl.
However that scare made Gothetta snap out of her stupor.
"We are not doing this now. And you are not living here." Gothetta said as Randy held her back before she did something that could be deemed unladylike.
"And this is now how my mornings begin." Randy groaned, hoping for the day to get better from this.
In another part of the city, the resurrected princess Tanis ran away from a pack of stray dogs that had caught her scent.
"Why does this happen to me?!" Tanis cried out as she ran into the streets. "This is why I prefer cats!"
She ran faster after hearing the dogs barking closer to her. She looked back at the night of horrors that she'd just live through. Not only had she been resurrected far from her home but now she was stuck in a strange land very different from her own. The bright lights and sounds of the night gave her nightmares and couldn't get a single wink of sleep. She felt the bags under her eyes weighing her down and her grumbling stomach zapping away her strength. She ran out of the alleyway and into the street, getting a good look at a large incoming car. She let out a loud scream in terror at the incoming demon. However, just then almost as if by instinct, her bandages shot out to one of the nearby streetlights. Tanis was pulled out of the way of the car and harm.
"What in the name of Set is going on?!" Tanis screamed as she was pulled away by her bandages. "Where are the Medjay when you want them?!"
Tanis swung through the city, causing many of the citizens of Norrisville to look up in wonder and strange amusement. She swung towards an incoming bus, causing her to pull herself up. She sighed at her escape from the meeting with death. She was then met with another car, forcing her to run on top of the car. She kept swinging, throwing out her arms and sending her bandages at the other things to pull herself out of danger. But she struck and crashed into some fruit stands, knocked out a few people carrying their shopping, and got a face full of laundry.
"I wanna go home!" Tanis cried out.
A driver looked up at the swinging mummy. She just sighed before taking a drink from her coffee cup.
"Yep, just another day." She said as the sounds of chaos echoed behind her.
Back in the Cunningham household, Randy, Gothetta and Sibella had just told Howard and Heidi what had happened a little while earlier. Phanty wasn't with them, because they sent her to tell Elsa about what was going on. The mood of the group was easily not the best. Howard however, was laughing his ass off at the sight of Randy being surrounded by the two vampire girls that were making his life miserable unintentionally.
"I still can't believe that you are now stuck with the vampire princess now!" Howard laughed. "Usually I'd be jealouse, but you seem to have gotten the short end of the stick."
"Knock it off, Howard. I didn't ask for this and you know it." Randy muttered as his best friend laughed at his expense.
Heidi had had enough of Howard's laughter. She struck him on the top of the head, shutting him up.
"Anyway, what are you gonna do about Sibella's whole thing?" Heidi asked. "I don't think that your mom will agree to have one of the 'sisters' here without the other and there is no way that she won't find it odd when she sleeps in a coffin."
Gothetta's eyes were fixed on Sibella. She observed her almost as if she was waiting to sink her fangs on Randy. Gothetta couldn't help but shake the feeling that she was planning something. There was something about Sibella's regal beauty that irked her more than being stuck listening to Stoker for a whole night. She was not loving the idea of her being by Randy's side one bit. Which was strange for her. She didn't mind Heidi, Elsa and Phanty being in love with Randy, but something made her blood boil whenever Sibella was close to him or made anything that made her feel like there was a romantic spark there. It might be because of how much Sibella's beauty reminded her of her own mother. The same mother who would bed any high society vampire that struck her fancy and now shared with Sibella. Gothetta needed to state the rules with Sibella and make sure that she stuck to them before it was too late.
"Do not fret Mistress Weinerman, I will do my best to adhere to the costumes of my Master's home and prove that I am worthy of his care." Sibella replied, irking the two other girls.
"I doubt Lady Kryptina will allow this to happen. As soon as she wakes she'll set this all straight." Gothetta said, trying to get rid of her own doubts above all. "Because if she stays, I will too."
"Ooh, cat fight!" Phanty said, announcing her arrival.
Everyone yelped at the apparition of the ghost girl. Gothetta, Heidi and Sibella jumped at Randy's arms, almost crushing him under their combined weight.
"Must she always do that?" Sibella asked.
"It's her way of making sure that we are alive and still have our heart rates raised." Randy replied. "Girls, would you mind getting off of me for a little bit?"
"Oh, sorry, Randy." Heidi said.
"Sorry, honey. It was just a reflex." Gothetta added.
"Pardon me, Master Randy. Although, if you pardon me, you have some strong arms. I can see how you've become such a valiant soul." Sibella said before Gothetta pulled her off.
"What is it, Phanty?" Randy asked. "Or are you here to get my heart pumping earlier than I need to?"
"Well, I was just flying back from telling Elsa about the whole romantic comedy scene you've got going on, she's not enjoying being left out by the way, when I spot something that should be of interest to you." Phanty explained. "Or confuse you, really. A swinging mummy!"
This however left the people in the room confused.
"What?" Howard asked.
"Could you please elaborate, Phanty?" Randy asked.
"I saw a mummy girl-woman, swinging across the city like some sort of superheroic menace." Phanty explained. "I think she was crying out for some medic or maybe it was a warrior's chant."
Randy and Howard looked at each other.
"Was she calling out 'Medjay'?" Randy asked.
"Yeah, that and a lot of crying and begging for help as she crashed into a bakery. How did you know?" Phanty asked.
Randy and Howard shared another worried look.
"I'll go check it out." Randy said, putting on the Ninja mask once more.
"I'll go get my crossbow. I am not meeting Amunette without it." Howard added, going back to his house.
"You think that Revolta might've brought her back?" Heidi asked.
"If she did then I'll send her back to where she came from. Maybe get some information out of her before she goes back to the Land of the Dead." Randy said, jumping out of the window.
"Have a good day, Master Randy." Sibella said, giving a bow to Randy as he jumped out the window.
"Hey, only I get to call him that!" Gothetta snapped.
"When do you call him that?" Heidi asked with genuine curiosity.
Randy swung to where Phanty had told him the mummy was. He was ready for a battle against the undead princess once more. He had the dagger that he'd gotten in his last adventure just in case. He landed across from where the mummy had been spotted and quickly got in his combat stance. But instead he was met with a strange and honestly hilarious sight.
The mummy was holding on for dear life from a tall pole.
"Well this should be interesting." Randy muttered to himself, looking at what was going on before him.
Randy jumped at the pole landing above the mummy, catching her attention.
"Fancy place to hang out. Usually most people do it around ground level." Randy said.
"I have no time for your mockery, I–" Tanis began as she recognized Randy. She let out a gasp of relief. "Medjai! I'm saved!" She cried out, almost slipping down from the pole.
"Okay, this is weird. Last time we met you wanted to kill me and now you're happy to see me? Are you doing okay in the head, Amunette?" Randy asked.
"Amunet? Why does everyone call me that?! I'm Tanis! Princess Tanis!" Tanis cried out in annoyance.
However har rant caused her to let go of the pole much to Randy's shock. Tanis fell towards the ground, but was quickly caught by her new savior. She opened her eyes to see that the Ninja of Norrisville had saved her. She was smitten by his strong body and protective embrace. As her savior landed them on a nearby rooftop, she started to remember that she'd seen this masked savior before.
"Well that was fun." Randy said. "Now about what you said-"
"You're that Medjay! What was your name? Randah? No. Randy! You've to help me, you beautiful pain!" Tanis said.
"So, are you really Tanis? I don't understand. I thought you were dead." Randy said.
"All I remember was that I was woken up in a dark dingy cave, surrounded by strange monsters." Tanis replied. "There was one that had wings and lots of sharp fangs, one that looked dead with metals all over his body, and there was a scary woman as well."
"Let me guess, six arms and a face that looked like it had been crushed and put together with frogs?" Randy asked.
"Yes, that was her!" Tanis replied. "Please take me back to the palace! I wish to see my father and mother! I don't want to be chased by dogs anymore!" She added with tears in her eyes.
Randy did want to tell her the truth, but there wasn't really much he could do.
"Come on, I'll take you to where it's safe. Then I'll have to break some news to you, Tanis." Randy said, holding out his hand to her.
Randy helped Tanis to her feet before he dropped a smoke bomb.
"Smoke Bomb!"
Back at the Cunningham household, Gothetta, Heidi, and Sibella were still bickering, much to Howard's and Phanty's amusement.
"You can't stay here." Gothetta said.
"I do not see what is wrong with me staying here. I promise to be a competent maid and uphold this family's honor." Sibella said. "You needn't worry, I will not go to Master Randy's bed unless you both ask me to."
"That isn't the problem." Gothetta said, pulling away her hand with a tint of a blush on her face.
"The problem is that Mrs. Cunningham doesn't know that her son is dating a vampire and other monster girls. If you tell her that then she'll probably get super freaked out!" Heidi added. "Monsters are considered more a Hollywood gimmick than actual creatures of the night these days. If she sees you drinking blood then what do you think she'll do?"
"That might present a problem and I will respect her decision of not wanting me here. But I shall remain until Master Randy no longer wishes for me to be by his side." Sibella replied.
"Stop calling him that!" Gothetta and Heidi both said.
"And they say women fighting is more of a drama, but this is comedy gold." Howard said, munching on some popcorn.
"Yeah, kinda feel left out though." Phanty added before flying to where the girls were. "Girls, gals, undead pals. Let's not fight about our man. We've got to stick together. There's a crazy witch out there in case you've forgotten. Besides, it's not like more monster girls are coming out of nowhere to be with Randy."
Just then, Randy came back into the house while carrying Tanis.
"Ok, we should be safe here." Randy said, pulling off his mask.
"What is this place?" Tanis asked, looking around the room. "Who are these women?"
"We were just about to ask that. Randy?" Gothetta asked.
"Oh, um, this is Princess Tanis. Revolta tried to resurrect her sister but brought her back to life and now she's on her own. I was thinking that she could go to the Manor until we found out a way to send her back-"
Tanis however cut off Randy by tightly hugging him tightly.
"Oh no! You will not just dump me off in some horrid place. As a Medjay you are tasked with protecting me! I won't let you out of my sight until such a time as I feel safe once more." Tanis said, pressing her body against Randy's.
This had an interesting effect on all the women present. Gothetta, Heidi, Phanty and Sibella all gave off a dangerous aura aimed at Randy and Tanis.
"Randy, please explain." Gothetta asked.
"Right now." Heidi added.
"Before we make you." Phanty added.
"It would be very beneficial, Master Randy." Sibella commented.
Howard was loving and feeling a little jealous of the situation that was before him.
"Wow, not even all the looted lost treasures in the bowls of the Vatican could pay for this much entertainment." Howard chuckled.
"Um, did I forget to mention that she knows where Revolta is hiding?" Randy said, hoping to escape with his head on his shoulders.
