Moonjava: hey, thanks :)
I'm glad to know you like the story


15. Good and bad luck!

And so they walked home again. But they decided to tell Monsieur Londres the whole thing. They couldn't hide it any longer to him.

When they rang his front door bell, he opened with a crucifix in his hand.
He already knew about that they were vampires.
But when he noticed that it was early in the morning meanwhile and the friends anyway didn't burn up in the sun, he lowered the crucifix and cleared his throat a bit embarrassed.

Sarah cocked an eyebrow and said, "Well, as I see, you already know about it..."

Monsieur Londres nodded and answered, "Yes, that's right. The Watcher's Council informed me of your 'decease'. At first I wouldn't believe it and searched for you. But I couldn't find you. There I knew that it was true. I'm so sorry, Sarah, but the Council has chosen a new Slayer in the meantime..."

"I thought it..." Sarah replied sad.

On the one hand she actually should be glad that she wasn't the Slayer any longer, but there was an indefinite feeling inside her, what mourns for this loss. Somehow she got used to be the Slayer.
And now all this shouldn't be any more like that?
Her former Watcher observed her exactly, when she sat with hanging head on his sofa, while the others told him the whole thing. And he could suspect, what depressed Sarah. But he said nothing.

"You were attacked by Van Heelen? Interesting..."

"You knew him?" Michelle asked surprised.

Monsieur Londres nodded. "And how I knew him! It's true that he was a descendant of the famous vampire-hunter Van Helsing. But one day he turned to the dark side and allied himself with the evil. He turned into a half-vampire and created further vampires that way, among other things also this unknown vampire, who met with you and transformed you. So it came that you turned into humans again by Van Heelen's death. Apparently he only came here because of the plan of his protégé, the unknown vampire. Because he probably suspected that this one planned to create the 7 deadly sins. He would have been much stronger with that than Van Heelen and could have defeated him so easy."

"That means, when this unknown vampire never would transform us, Van Heelen never would come here to kill the unknown vampire and us…" Catherine said.

"Exactly!" Monsieur Londres answered and looked at Sarah. "Sarah, would you please come with me?"

Monsieur Londres pushed her out of her thoughts.

"Sure..." Sarah murmured and followed him.

When they were out of the earshot of the others, Monsieur Londres started, "I'm really sorry for you, Sarah, that you aren't the Slayer any more! That the whole thing even came as far as that."

"It's all right..."

"No. I notice how it depresses you. And I always could imagine that it would depress you. That's why I searched through my whole magic books for a right spell directly after your disappearance."

"A spell? What for?" Sarah asked quite uninterested.

"A spell, which will make everything undone."

There Sarah listened to it.

"How does that work?" she asked.

"Well, I will do the spell and would send you all back into the past, to this moment, where this event changed the future."

"That would be probably then, when the vampires came into the house..." Sarah murmured.

Monsieur Londres nodded. "I only need your approval for it or everything will go on this way. But you wouldn't be the Slayer any longer and if you think that's better for you..."

"No! I'd like to be the Slayer again!" Sarah interrupted him.

Monsieur Londres smiled and said, "Yes, I thought it."

"Could we tell it to the others?"

"Of course."

And so both informed the others of the spell and also the others were enthusiastic of this chance.
