9. A visit with aftermaths
"Good evening, kids!" Van Heelen greeted them now.
Sarah, who sat beside Alicia, reacted at first and stuttered a short "Evening".
The others nodded intimidated.
"Well, what are you doing here outside so late?" Van de See asked acting ignorant.
"We... um, we only sit a little bit out here and enjoy the fresh air." Catherine answered.
"Well, well, and you are all alone here? Who lives here?"
"I... My parents aren't here. They went into holidays for a quite long time..." Hannah's uncertain voice sounded.
"Holidays? And they let you here all alone?"
"She isn't alone. We're with her. We stay here, sleep here and take care of her this way." Alicia replied after that.
"You sleep here? Interesting... Where? Perhaps in the cellar? In coffins?"
At first the girls looked at both frightened.
Then Catherine made a face and meant, "For what should we need coffins? Nope, we don't have any."
"Yeah, right. We are..." Hannah, who sat between Catherine and Michelle, didn't come further, because she got a shove into her rips by Catherine.
"What did you mean?" asked Van Heelen.
The whole thing seemed absolutely strange to Catherine. That's why she would like to disappear, especially since she saw, how strong Michelle trembled and suffered from the presence of the both.
She answered, "She meant that we rather should go to sleep now. It's already quite late and if Hannah's parents would know that we're still awake, she certainly would get great trouble. And by the way, actually we shouldn't talk with you at all, 'cause we don't know you!"
With that Catherine rose up.
"Oh well, you're right. How impolite of us not to introduce ourselves! I'm Van Heelen and this is Van de See. He's my assistant. I'm professor!"
Now he looked at the friends, as ob he expected that they also introduce themselves. But they were silent.
Catherine only nodded grimly and Alicia murmured, "Yeah, but just professor for what?"
But both didn't understand her.
"Ah, did you notice something suspicious recently? Perhaps strange figures?"
"No, we didn't!" Catherine said vigorous.
"Really not? Are you really so sure with that?" Van de See asked.
Catherine looked at him with a dark glance.
"You also aren't in contact with vampires or aren't already like that, are you?"
"Nope!" Sarah repeated vigorous.
Van Heelen and Van de See looked at each other.
Then Van Heelen said sneering, "And what would you say if we know that you were in contact with vampires? With exactly 2 vampires and these turned you also into such ones?"
That was directly!
The friends looked at both fearful.
"Aw... you, you are crazy! There aren't any vampires at all! You only want to scare us with that!" Hannah tried to say bravely, but she didn't succeed completely.
"Well, do you really think so? We had a date with this both vampires a little while ago, with your creators. And they told us something completely different! They told us something about their whole pride, the '7 deadly sins'. They meant you with that, didn't they? Unfortunately we couldn't find out the truth from them. Unfortunately they broke into dust much too fast, when they probably came painful into contact with our wooden stakes!"
There both laughed.
The friends looked at them shocked: both vampires were dead; they were killed by the both men, the vampire-hunters, which stood now in front of them.
The friends completely changed at the thought, what should become of them now. They definitely didn't have any scruple to kill them as well.
Michelle trembled much more at this thought, but now no longer completely unnoticed of both vampire-hunters.
