The Vampire of Lavendar Town
By Ree-chan Peekster, Dutrio16, and Dessa
Chapter 20
It took almost all of Dessa's remaining strength, but she was able to get the message to Chan, and unlock the doors. When he got into her room, he was appalled at how pale and weak she looked.
"Hasn't he been feeding you?" he asked.
"That's the problem. I can't stomach it," she replied.
"What are you going to do--" Just then, footsteps were heard outside of her room, and Chan darted back into the hallway, closing the doors behind him.

Brandon climbed aboard Lapras followed by Ben, David, Nishu, and Sarah.
"I don't want to ride this thing again," Sarah complained.
"Neither do I in these circumstances," David said. "But you don't see me complaining." Sarah made a face which David returned. Nishu and Brandon rolled their eyes.
Brandon turned and looked ahead. He could see rapids and rocks in the distance. "Lapras," he said. "Head to those rocks."
"But be careful about the rapids and any whirlpools that might be nearby," Ben added. Lapras nodded and started towards their destination.
Thunder clapped in the distance. David looked up to see clouds. "Great," he muttered.
"Don't say it..." Brandon warned. "It can always get worse."
Ben laughed. "Superstitious?"
"No," Brandon answered. "I just don't want to risk the chance. Everytime someone says that it gets worse. Right now, I don't want anything worse than that storm." The waves grew choppier as Lapras got closer to the rapids. Sure enough the rapids were being caused by three huge whirlpools that seemed to have no end.
"Oh my..." Nishu started.
"Lapras, stop!" Ben ordered.
"Are we safe?" Sarah asked nervously.
"For now," Brandon said. "I wouldn't risk getting closer until we have a plan of what we are going to do." The others nodded solemnly in agreement.

Chan paced uneasily in his room. "How am I going to get out of this mess now?" Chan said. Dessa's power was growing and he was worried about what would happen... especially since she was now a vampire. He frowned and sat cross legged on the floor in thought. He had a very bad feeling about this. A very, very bad feeling.

"Are you well, my little goddess?" Victor asked Dessa as he entered the room, mocking her with ever word. Dessa did not answer, just turned her head away. "I suppose this will help." Dessa turned her head to look at what he offered, which was a goblet. "I watered it down, so you should be able to handle it."
Dessa didn't want to, but she reached for the cup anyway, and drank down the contents. When she was finished, she lay back down again, and again looked away from Victor.
"Your plan hasn't turned out quite like you planned, has it?" she asked him.
"No, not really. But I can use this to my advantage. But first, I need information from you. Tell me about Raifugami..."
"Raifugami! How? I don't know anything about her!"
"But you are her. How can you know nothing?"
"My power forced me to evolve from Anglessa, the Angel pokémon, into Raifugami, the Goddess of Life. I had no control over it, and have no memories. All I know is what I have been told."
"So. Raifugami appeared when your power grew, and is the Goddess of Life. And now, your power is growing again, but you are a vampire. What should happen, I wonder, if you were to evolve again? Would the Goddess of Life appear, or something more, shall we say, to my liking? We shall see, we shall see..." With that, Victor left the room, leaving Dessa to think about what he had said.
*******
Chan jumped when Victor came in. "What do you want?" he asked the vampire nervously.
"Nothing... I just wanted to let you know that I managed to get Dessa to keep blood down," Victor replied.
"How?" Chan cried. "How'd you manage to do that with her..."
"I had to water it down quite a bit," Victor explained. He took a threatening step forward causing Chan to back away in fear. "What do you think about her increasing power."
Chan gulped. "I don't know what to think about that. I have a bad feeling about it."
"Why?"
"Because Dessa is a vampire now. She wasn't before. Also, I don't know if she'll be able to control her powers as it increases right before she evolves into whatever."
"So you don't know what will happen?"
"No... I've only seen her evolve once. That was when she wasn't a vampire. Now.. I don't know if she'll evolve into Raifugami. I doubt it. I don't really want to know what she'll evolve into." Chan sat down on the bed. Victor had stopped his advance after getting the information that he wanted. He was pleased that Chan doubted that Dessa would evolve into the Goddess of Life. That meant she would evolve into something else... quite possibly to his liking. Chan gulped. He didn't like the grin on Victor's face. That meant Victor was thinking about what Dessa would eventually evolve into. The very thought of it sent chills up his spine. He always had this feeling when something was about to go horribly wrong.
