17. Meet the devil in person - Suburb to hell
Michelle, who sobbed meanwhile, was really taken to the cemetery by the vampires. They pulled her behind themselves. She had given up to defend herself against the stronger vampires and expected now that she probably would soon end up as feed for the vampires or - even worse - should become a vampire as well. She let everything happen to her.
"Stop crying!" a vampire hissed at her. But Michelle couldn't do anything against it. Tears of despair rolled down her red cheeks and accumulated on her chin before they dropped to the ground.
The vampires pulled her through the way and came now in a room where many other vampires were. That was probably the quarter of the vampires: their coffins stood in the room. Michelle looked around fearful and turned up her nose involuntarily: an unbearable stench of blood was in the air. And another, very old: the smell of the endless! Michelle shivered.
The vampire, who held her tight all the time, pulled her now to a place in the room and threw her on the ground. When Michelle sat up groaning and looked up slowly, she shivered once more: a probably very powerful and wise vampire sat on a kind of throne. The vampire, who threw her to the ground, bowed to the vampire and said respectful, "Master, we bring you here the friend of the Slayer." With these words he pointed at Michelle, who stared at the vampires wide-eyed. "So, you are a friend of the Slayer, aren't you?" Michelle winced involuntarily at this dangerous voice of the seeming head of the vampires and couldn't say anything for fear. But she didn't need to answer, because the head of the vampires only nodded and sneered at Michelle malignant.
There they heard footsteps and another vampire came to them, bowed to the head and said, "Master Krakatau, the Slayer and her friends are on the way here. I've informed them of our location." "All right." the head of the vampires, Krakatau, replied and sneered again. Then he turned to Michelle, "Then you mean a lot to the Slayer and her friends, when they come to visit us for that reason. But don't worry! We're prepared for their visit." And he let flash his sharp vampire-teeth. Michelle yielded back fearful, but she ran against one of the vampires, which gathered around Krakatau and her. "Let's prepare a suitable welcome for them, what do you think?" he turned to Michelle again. But she still didn't know what to answer. Krakatau nodded to a few vampires. These grasped Michelle on her arms and held her tight. "Oh no, please, don't do anything to me..." Michelle begged trembling with tears in the eyes.
"Uh, who will be so fearful, huh?" Krakatau meant scornful. "What shall we do with her?" one of the vampires asked. "Let's lock her up in a coffin. Then she can get used to how it will be when she's turned into a vampire as well." another meant sneering. Michelle watched him scared. "No, I've got a better idea. We don't wait until the Slayer appears, but turn her into a vampire right now. She'll become certainly a sweet vampire. A sweet fallen angel." a female vampire giggled. "No, when we turn her into a vampire right now, where remains then the drama when the Slayer is here and has to watch helpless when her friend turned into a vampire?" "You're right!" she meant shrugging.
"Prevent her only from an escape. It doesn't matter what you do with her otherwise." Krakatau meant now. "But I guess she won't risk it anyway, because this would mean her certain death..." With that he looked at Michelle condescending. Michelle swallowed.
"Come on!" one of the vampires commanded her and pulled her to a wall. There he threw Michelle rough to the ground. Michelle crouched herself on the ground at the wall and sobbed desperately.
The vampires took no notice of her any more now and expected delighted the arrival of the Slayer and her friends to rescue this girl. But it won't get so far, they'll care for that...
