22. You are strong, but together we're stronger
The friends encircled just the four remaining vampires.
"Well, what are we going to do now with them?" Alicia asked, pretending innocent. "Um, what about when we invite them to a sun party?" Catherine giggled. "Uh, I've got another idea..." Michelle pushed her hand forward and hit one of the vampires into his heart. "Oh, how clumsy of me..." she regretted hypocritical. "How could this just happen to me?"
Another vampire rushed forward and wanted to attack Hannah. But she held only her stake in front of her, so that the vampire staked himself. So there were only two left.
"We could become friends..." Catherine said now completely kind. The two vampires looked at her confused. She walked to one of the remained vampires with a charming smile. Then she brushed her hair from her neck, so that one side lay open. She looked at him provocative with innocent eyes. The vampire went to her unsuspecting. When he lowered his head to bite her, her face turned suddenly hard and she said, "Listen, I've changed my mind. We never could become friends! There are too many differences between us!" And she pushed her stake into the heart of the vampire.
The last vampire stared at the remains of the other vampire, turned around and wanted to run away.
But he didn't come far, because he was held up by Sarah, who was finished now with the other vampires. "What? Do you want to leave us already? And without saying goodbye to us?" The vampire looked at her and hissed. "Well, all right. As you know, you shouldn't hold up travellers..." she turned shrugging to her friends.
The vampire made use of this and ran away. "But..." Alicia protested. Sarah smiled at her, turned around and threw her stake at the running vampire. The stake pierced his heart and the vampire turned into dust with a last angry scream.
The friends and even Sarah weren't half surprised. "Peaked!" Hannah meant apt. "Uh, child's play... How are you?" Sarah turned now worried to her friends.
"Except that I can't still believe at all that we have - who knows how many - vampires destroyed? Great!" Hannah grinned at her. "Not bad." Sarah winked.
"Wow! We've really won, haven't we?" Michelle looked around the room surprised. The room appeared now creepy empty without the vampires. "It seemed to be like that, little one!" Alicia teased her. "Hey, how are you?" "I'm fine, Alicia, don't worry!" Michelle replied, looked up smiling to her big sister and embarrassed her. Alicia returned the embrace, stroked loving the head of her kid sister and whispered: "Thank god that you're alive!"
"Well, and what are we still doing here?" "That's a good question, Hannah! Come on, let's go!" Sarah suggested. "Um, yeah, we have to inform Monsieur Londres that we found Michelle..." Catherine murmured. "Uh..." Hannah made.
They've forgotten Monsieur Londres completely!
And after they threw a last glance at the place, the friends and climbed now out of the grave of the family Hatred.
When they came out of the mausoleum it dawned soon.
But they were hardly out of the mausoleum when somebody came towards them with fast steps. Sarah took her posture of fight again.
