Chapter 2:
Notes: *** = scene change
I see all! Know all! Oh it you two…
"D, Sym! Good to see you two again!" Anubis said smiling at the two dampires.
"It's nice to see you to Anubis." D said.
"So," Anubis snapped his gum. "This is the town you want me to watch?"
"Yes."
"Excuse me your highnesses." Mr. O'Neil began to ask the twins.
"Don't call me that." Both twins said at the same time.
"Oh I'm sorry but who is this?' Mr. O'Neil said indicating Anubis.
"I'm Anubis but most know me better as Death and …" He began.
Mayor O'Neil's eyes went wide. He clutched his chest, as if he was going to have another heart attack. For there standing before him was the Grim Reaper, death himself. "Patty I'm coming my dearest wife!"
Anubis's face turned red and jackal ears popped out of the top of his head. "Grr! Like I said death and LIFE! With death comes life and with life comes death!"
Sym tried to hide his laughter. The younger dampier twin had known Anubis all his life. When ever Anubis was in a false form and had strong emotions his ears would emerge from the top of his head. It was truly a funny sight to see. A gothic looking young man who chewed tie-dye colored bubble gum, red faced with anger with two jackal ears standing strait up from his head.
"Besides," Anubis continued. " You're not going to kick the bucket for another…"
Sym quickly cover his mouth. "Anubis, people don't like to know when they're going to die. Remember."
"Oh ya, sorry."
D shook his head and turned to the mayor. "Mr. O'Neil right now the only thing protecting this village is my and brother's aura. Your town is right in the middle of a vampire trading route."
"So that is why this town was plagued by vampires for so long." Mr. O'Neil said.
"Yes. When our father came to this town five years ago the other vampires in the area sensed something that they did not want to tangle with. But if we leave they will come back. That is why Anubis is here. Anubis's aura will protect this village. The vampires will think that this is place is a town of death. We have been hired for a job and must leave now." D explained.
The three men is turn, turned to Anubis who gave them a peace sign. "Don't worry I don't cause bad luck or any thing like that." He blew a bubble then.
D gave a nod. He then began to walk to the stables where he and his brother's horse were staying. Sym followed his brother. When they were half way there they heard Anubis. The dampier brothers stopped and waited for him to catch up.
" I think you to should go see Madam Twilight." Anubis told them.
"No way!" Sym said shaking his head.
"Oh?" D asked.
"I've met her before D. I think she's part fey, any way she creeps me out." Sym said shivering.
" Creeps you out?" Anubis repeated, as he chewed on his gum.
" She looks at me funny." The younger dampier said rubbing his arms.
"Madam Twilight must be in love with you little brother." D told him.
Sym narrowed his eyes at his brother." That's love I don't need in fact I think she tried to slip something into my drink the last time I was there!"
"Come on lets go." D said.
***************
D and Sym sat in the 'House of Mystery' where Madam Twilight worked as a fortuneteller. In the room with them was a small table with a crystal ball on it.
"You know D we still have time to leave." Sym said hopefully.
D gave his brother a look that said move and you'll regret it. Sym narrowed his eyes at his elder brother and stuck out his tongue. Just then there was a gong and the curtain in the back of the room burst open, there stood Madam Twilight. Her hair was a patchwork of many colors and she wore a gypsy like costume.
"I AM MADAM TWILIGHT! I SEE ALL! KNOW ALL!" she opened her eyes and looked at her costumers. " Oh it you two." She sat down in the chair provide for her. Her eyes then traveled over to the younger brother." I see you've lost your sunglasses huh Sym?"
"How did you .." he began then reached up to his eyes. There had been no one on the road over and no one in the village. Sym had totally forgotten.
With a flick her wrist a pair of sunglasses appeared in her hand. She tossed them to Sym who put them on.
"Now you two have been hired to look for your father am I correct?"
They nodded their heads.
"Good. Now I don't know were your father is, but I know who might though. He would most likely go visit the misfit vampires."
"Misfit vampires?" D asked.
"Yes there are quite a few left and they most likely will know where your father is. Now you need to go to Ocean View River there you will find the town of Corral. Ask for Seal."
D gave a nod of thanks and began to leave the room.
"Oh Sym! Why don't you come back and see me again." Madam Twilight gave him a wink.
" Wait for me D!." he yelled after his brother.
"Good luck boys your going to need it."
