Tony stood, his face in blank expression, looking at the wall in front of him. Various swords, daggers, guns, and other assortments of weapons hung from hooks and slots. Behind him, on the opposite wall, a stake, crossbow, and such for slaying including a fully-automatic machine-gun with silver bullet ammo.
Though a door to Tony's left, the Dark One strides in, his presence seems to darken the room slightly.
"You like any of these?" he says looking down at Tony.
"Uh-huh," comes the reply in a kind of droned response.
"Good," the Dark One flicks his tail in motion for Tony to follow, "If you are to be use to me, I will need you to use a number of them…along with something else."
They walk down to a room in which there lie a stand in the middle Approaching it; it is revealed to hold a ring on a cushion.
"But first, I must bring you to the truth. Allow the realization of the light."
He lifts the ring, the light gleaming on the silver incasing the ring's sapphire stone. The Dark One lifts Tony's hand and holds his ring finger below the ring.
"Now, receive the ring of the Slayer."
The Dark One places the ring on Tony's finger and it begins to emit a soft glow from the sapphire, casting the two figures faces into blue light.
Stepping back, the Dark One watches as Tony absorbs the rings power, allowing it to course through him. As it does, the hypnotism fades and the ring takes control of it's captive.
"Yes!" Tony says as the ring's glow finishes, "I'm back."
"Very well, Rigerden, but you can have your dramatic entrance when it comes, but now you must adjust to the boys body."
"What is the matter with you Julius?" the boys says looking at the Dark One.
"Don't use my name, you idiot, I'm called the Dark One!" he snaps.
"Okay, sorry," Rigerden raises his hands in a defensive gesture, "Just thought you sound a little more serious than usual."
"Well you try to get a suitable host for yourself sometime. It is a long search, and requires lengthy waiting and preparation."
Julius pauses
"Anyways, we need to make sure your ready for the hunt by…"
" 'Dark One'," Rigerden interrupts, "I know the plan, if it is the same as last time you tried this without me. Don't worry about me, I can do my own thing, Julius, just make sure your end is fulfilled. I'll take care of my side of the deal, okay?"
With that he snaps his fingers and disappears in a puff of smoke, along with a few things that were hanging on the walls of the armory.
"So…is there anything you can do?" Mrs. Parr asks Dr. Peters, Supernatural Specialist. They are standing outside the room when Violet sat on the table.
"Well, from what I have been able to tell," he looks at the door to the room, "she is not like any other vampire I have seen before."
"What do you mean," Helen says concerned.
"What I mean is that, from her description of the vampire that changed her, and the process of her change, I…well I may be mistaken…but I am pretty sure I'm right."
"What."
"Your daughter's case hasn't been seen for a few hundred years. I my self have only heard of the ritual used in this situation. It's legendary."
"Ritual?"
"Yes, you see…a vampire doesn't need to kill him or herself to make a new vampire," he looks at Helen, "Neither does the transformation usually take this long. Usually it only takes up to twenty hours."
"Then…" she trails off.
"Your daughter, Mrs. Parr, is what is called an Aciedyoru…a rare type of vampire they are," Dr. Peters says informatively, "They cannot be killed by a stake though the heart due to the ceremony done by the vampire that made her."
"Is that true, she has an advantage over other vampires?"
"Well, she still suffers pain from a stake, but no, she can't be killed by one."
"Well, I suppose that's good…but what about returning to normal?"
"Ah, yes…you see there's a problem about that."
"What is it?"
"Aciedyoru's change back to human only when they have finished the task that was the purpose for turning them into the undead."
"So what does she have to do?"
I cannot tell you. Only the vampire that bit her knows, and if she tries hard enough, I believe that she will know too, what to do."
"Very well, I suppose that we should tell her about all this."
The doctor agrees and leaves her to talk to Violet.
"Hello," Mr. Parr answers the phone, "Parr's residence."
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Rydinger. Have you seen by boy Tony. I know he goes out with your daughter, I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon."
"No, sorry. Violet said you told her he was at a friends."
"Yes, but the number his friend gave him as his own was just a pay phone," the worry in Mrs. Rydinger's voice is quite clear, "I'm scared that something might have happened to him."
"I'll do my best to help find him. You called the police department?"
"Uh-huh,"
"Good, good luck in finding your son. I'll do my best to help you, good bye."
The phone clicks and Bob puts it back on the receiver. He looks down at Dash who stands there in his school clothes.
"Poor kid," he thinks as he gets in the car and takes Dash to school.
