7. Slayers and slayed ones

Then they discussed what they should do now.

"What should we tell our parents?" Catherine asked and took her head in her hands.

The friends were silent, because none of them knew an answer for this question.

"Tell me, do you remember my dream?" Sarah asked now into the silence.

"Do you mean this one, you dreamed, we would turn into vampires?" Alicia asked. She leaned at the door-case.

Sarah nodded and stated sad, "Yeah, and now it came true..."

"And I also joked about it that such a thing couldn't happen to us, 'cause we already would look out... But I didn't know that it really would become so bad or even worse..." Michelle said and looked up from the ground she stared at the whole time with tears in the eyes.

"Don't blame yourself, Michelle. It's my fault that it came as far as this!" Hannah meant.

"No, you're wrong. It's my fault. I am the Slayer... um, rather I was it. And I should have protect you and kill the vampires." Sarah said and looked at her friends. "Monsieur Londres will be disappointed, when he'll know it, if he and the Council don't already know it and chose a new Slayer..." Sarah sighed.

"I'm sorry..." Hannah said and put a hand on Sarah's shoulder.

"It's ok..." Sarah replied and looked at them with a sad face.

"But what should we do now?" Michelle asked.

"I guess we have to submit to our destiny! We'll wander on earth as vampires from now on and maybe we'll survive..." Sarah answered with a sigh.

"No! No, I'll never submit! I'd rather die right now, instead of turning into one of these disgusting monsters!" Michelle shouted furious.

"We'll have no other choice at all. You saw what happened with Hannah..." Sarah stated.
Hannah looked to the ground ashamed.
"It even started long ago... We can't do anything against it any more."

"Says you? You of all people? You were the Slayer! A fighter that never gives up!"

"I was, Michelle, I was... Now I'm just a dead Slayer or an undead one. I don't know. But I'm not the Slayer any longer!"

"That's not true! You've still got a bit Slayer-blood in you! You're still the fighter that we know and love! And as the fighter you never would give up and submit to your destiny!" Michelle meant.

"Understand it, Michelle. It's too late. We can't do anything else any more." Sarah tried to convince her.

Michelle snorted and turned away.

"What do you mean what we should do?" Sarah turned to the others.

"One thing is certain in any case: we can't do as if nothing has happened. This wouldn't work." Alicia said serious.

"And what do you suggest then?"

"Well, I think, we should go to Monsieur Londres and..." Catherine thought.

"No, never ever!" Sarah interrupted Catherine.
"Are you crazy? When he would know that we're vampires now, what do you think he probably would do with us then? Invite us to a cup of tea? Definitely not! He would stake us, as you would do it with vampires."

"Then we would be dead at least..." Michelle murmured.

But nobody paid attention to her comment.

"I won't go to him in any case. What do you want to tell him?
'Hey, Monsieur Londres. We were attacked by vampires and now we're like them, isn't that great? But we definitely won't kill anybody, promised!'
Or what else? Are you really that naive and believe that he wouldn't do anything then?" Sarah asked furious.

"You're only afraid that he'll know then that you were unable to stake 2 vampires; that you were overtaxed with this situation; that the vampires were superior to you. And you even won't admit this 'cause of your pride. You won't admit that you failed as the Slayer!" Michelle said.

Sarah turned around like a flash, reached for the broken leg of the bureau, which was next to her on the ground and rushed at Michelle, so that this one fell down from the chair and landed with Sarah on the ground.

Then Sarah held the stake directly in front of her dead heart and growled, "Don't pretend such a thing never again, got it? You have no idea at all!"

Michelle replied the glance and hissed, "Come on, Ex-Slayer, do it! Kill me! You'll help both of us with that. But you don't dare this in any case..."

"You bet! I dare..."

"You're completely crazy! Go apart!" Alicia shouted and pulled Sarah from her sister.

"Don't touch me!" Sarah hissed and sat down on the chair with crossed arms, while she glanced at Michelle arrogantly.

"You see! It's no use to defend against these characters. We're already too much involved in it. And that's why I suggest that we'll stay here for the present, until Hannah's parents come back..." Alicia said.

"And what are we doing when they're here again?" Catherine asked.

"Well, then we have to search for another place to stay till then..." Alicia stated.

And so they made the decision that they all should stay together in Hannah's house at first. But they still wouldn't visit Monsieur Londres.
They rather would really submit to their destiny and do that what they were able to do now: to kill.

And then they all went out for the first time on the second evening of their transformation to behave like vampires and drink human blood.
When this border Hannah broke through at first of them, was crossed by all of them too, it was completely easy for them to kill humans.
What should they do otherwise, except to commit suicide? They finally have to 'survive'...

Fortunately nobody had a suspicion for the present that they were behind the countless victims. And even Monsieur Londres didn't find it out. They also weren't in contact with him any more

So they walked along the streets and killed everyone, who got in their way, with a scornful, superior, cold and cruel sneer on their red lips in their pale faces.
