Chapter 2: Vampires?

"You say he turned to ash?" Grandpa Mutou asked bewildered. "But that's not possible."

"That's what happened," Yugi said leaning back on the couch. They had gotten to Yugi's house only a few minutes before, where the Pharaoh had finally receded to the Millennium Puzzle to rest. Yugi and the others were now telling his grandpa and Tzipporah about the day's events.

"I can't believe that happened," Tristan said. "And I saw it with my own two eyes."

"What was he?" Joey questioned.

"A vampire." Everyone turned to look at Tzipporah. She was standing a few feet away, staring out a window.

"But vampires aren't real Tzipporah" Tea said softly.

"That's what they want you to believe," she said looking at Tea. "But they are real. Why one was out in daylight, I don't know." She sighed and looked out the window again. Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone.

"Who are you calling?" Tristan asked.

"A friend of mine name Abigail Whistler," she said dialing a number. She put the phone to her ear and looked at Tristan. "It's time to activate the sleeper cell in this part of town." Tzipporah turned around and started talking to the person on the other end.

/Aibou/

/Yes, Pharaoh/

/Do you know what she meant by sleeper cell/

/No. I was going to ask when she got off the phone. But what about that man who attacked us/

/Well, something tells me she wasn't joking when she said that man was a vampire. /

/Why/

/I saw his teeth. /

"Yugi?"

"Hmm?" Yugi looked up to see everyone staring at him. "What?"

"You didn't hear a word I said did you?" Tzipporah asked, slightly amused.

Yugi laughed nervously. "Sorry."

Tzipporah gave him a smile. "Tell him I said hi."

Yugi blushed as she turned away and went to sit next to his grandpa. "As I was saying," Tzipporah said bringing everyone's attention to her. "Abigail said she would call the rest of her team, then go to their base. She asked us to meet her there."

"Do you know where it is?" Tea asked.

Tzipporah nodded. "She wants to talk with you about the encounter, and get you prepared incase you meet another vampire."

"And I suppose you are prepared in case you meet a vampire yourself, right?" Tristan asked sarcastically.

Tzipporah looked at him, then stood up and walked over to her bag. She leaned down and opened it. Reaching in she pulled out a glass container with a white powdery substance, and five metallic posts about a foot long each. Holding up the posts, she turned to Tristan. "Five stakes made of pure silver," she put the stakes down and picked up the glass container. "Finely powdered garlic," she said handing it to Joey. She reached in her bag again. "And finally this," Tzipporah pulled out a large hand pistol. Using two hands, she gave it to Mr. Mutou. "Don't worry," she said with a smile. "It's not loaded."

"What is that?" Tea asked backing off.

"This is an electric pistol," Tzipporah said. "This is designed to fire a round called sun dogs." She went back to her bag and pulled out a bullet that glowed a light blue. "These are sun dogs," she said. "They give off a concentrated burst of UV light when they hit their target. Kills vampires instantly," Tzipporah smiled at she said this. "Poof."

"Gross," Tea said cringing.

"Nah," Tzipporah said, waiving her hand at Tea. "They just turn into ash."

Joey and Tristan looked at each other with wide eyes. "Cool!" they said together.

"You didn't think it was cool when that guy ashed all over the Pharaoh," Tea said, her hands on her hips.

/I didn't think so either. /

Yugi chuckled at the Pharaoh's remark as Joey and Tristan shrugged. Tzipporah looked at her watch. "We had better get going," she said putting everything in her bag. "Abby will be expecting us soon."

Mr. Mutou tossed Yugi a jacket. "Call if you're going to be late."

"Don't worry grandpa," Tzipporah said. "He will be very late."

"In that case," he said nodding toward Yugi's room. "Take your keys."

Yugi smiled and left the room for a moment. When he returned the others were waiting for him by the door. "You ready?" Tzipporah asked. Yugi nodded as they walked out the door. He quickly glanced back at the shop.

"Bye grandpa!" he yelled with a wave.

"Be careful Yugi!" Mr. Mutou called back. Yugi gave him a thumbs up then turned and walked away with the others.

"So what are your friends going to tell us?" Yugi asked. Everyone looked at Tzipporah as the question hung between the group. Tzipporah looked at each of them in turn then straight ahead with a smile.

"Everything Yugi," she said quietly. "Everything."
