Chapter Three: Never Under Estimate
"Dracula please would you just calm down?" Zoya asked.
"You know just because you are the keeper of destiny doesn't mean ditallty squat to me right now. She is supposed to being finding out and leaving!" Dracula practically yelled.
"Well your ex-best friend has not even found out that she is back yet." She replied.
"That Tousdale was never my friend, so do not ever say that again." This time he yelled.
"Sit down, and you do to know what I am talking about."
"I most certainly do not know what you are talking about."
"Oh, I wish as well as everyone else mind you that you two would just get over your pride and make up. I mean after all it has been basically five-hundred years."
"It has only been four hundred and fifty-six years. Hey, but who is counting."
"Obviously you are."
But meanwhile back at the party Shark, Zee and the gang were having a blast and Shark was bringing Zee to meet his parents and Dracula and Zoya were waiting on the edge of their seat while watching through Zoya's crystal ball.
"Mom. Dad you remember Zee, right." Shark asked.
"Yes, how are you doing dear?" Margreet asked.
"Fine thanks." She replied.
"Ok."
"Now is the time to tell her," when he saw the look on his wife's face he finished "no I'll tell her." Fraulk said.
"Tell me what?" Zee asked.
"Well we have done some research on you and found some stuff out, one of the things that we found out was that you are meant to go on a quest to save all life our world as we know it. And our son is meant escort you."
Right as he said that Dracula went even paler at the face then usual. Because he couldn't believe what he was hearing, do to the fact that she was not supposed to find out because he had wanted to handle himself.
"I can not believe that he told her, we promised each other that we would not let the children handle it. And that we would deal with it ourselves." Dracula said with such hate rid and sorrow in his voice.
"Did my ears deceive me or did you just admit to having a promise with that Trousdale as you call him?" Zoya asked.
"I'm not in the mood Zoya, just not right now."
"Well excuse me, besides even I could have told you and tried to tell you that they were going to go on that journey anyway. But would you listen to me, no, just like you have never listened to me on anything in your whole entire life. And it has gone on long enough besides you have never once been right I mean have you forgot or something because in case you have I AM THE KEEPER OF DESTINY!" She reminded him. "So there for I know all and I see all. Sheez Louise you vampires, better yet you guys sometimes you only want to believe what you want to believe."
But mean while back at the city everyone was starting to calm down except for Zee, so many questions arose in her head like how could he have found out all of this stuff about her, and was it all true or was it a false accusation to trick her, everything was going so fast that her head was spinning. But she was very tired, but not tired enough to asked Shark.
"Hey Shark are you up still?" She said in a soft whisper, it was almost like she was talking into the still air.
"Yeah, why is anything the matter?" He whispered.
"Yes in a way, how did your father find out all hat information on me, and is it a fact or a trick of some sort?"
"I do not know how he had got the information because neither him nor my mom will tell any of us. And my father would not lie, and if it was a trick I would never allow him to hurt you, do you hear me, never."
"That is very sweet." She said with a gentle whisper. "But who do we have to defeat?"
"Just never mind because you are to tired. My family and I will tell you all of the details tomorrow."
"What about my mother."
"Do not worry my mother is talking to her as we speak. Because from what I can under stand they are old friends."
"Oh ok, thanks for letting me know."
And Shark was right at that very moment Debbie was just pulling in, in the driveway and Margreet was flagging her down. Right away she knew who Margreet was, she had remembered her from their past and she knew right away that something was up. And even though Debbie did not want to admit it to herself she could tell right away knowing exactly just what she was going to say and she just went pale at the face.
"Deb, I have got to talk to you really badly. Please get out of your Toyota and talk to me, it may, well actually it does concern your daughter." She said softly.
"I know whom it concerns, what happened to her or should I say what did you and Fraulk say to her?" Debbie said in an angry and snotty way.
"Is this how you treat all of your old friends that you haven't seen in almost thirteen years?" She replied.
"Only ones that stabbed me in the back."
"The fight wasn't even between us."
"Well if I am not mistaken you are the one that drug it into yours and my friendship."
"Yes but you let me."
"It doesn't matter any more, just tell me, did you and your husband tell her or not?"
"Yes." Margreet said with a soft sigh.
"But we all promised each other that we would not bring the kids into it, don't you two remember?"
"Yes, but with Dracula still missing we have no choice. As much as I hate to send my son into that kind of danger I have to, but I know that they will both survive."
"What do you mean that Dracula is still missing?"
"You didn't know."
"No."
"We all thought that you would be at least the one that knew where he was."
"No, I thought that he left because I was leaving and would come back when I was gone."
"No he never came back."
"Well did you try to get a hold of Zoya?"
"If cores we did, all she said was that he was somewhere and couldn't tell us do to technical difficulties."
"Well what in the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"We don't know we are still trying to figure that out."
"Well I guess seeing how it is her destiny, can you at least wish her good luck for me. And please do not tell her about her past or anything except for what she has to do."
"Ok, and if she asks any questions I'll tell her that you said that you as her only parent would handle it."
"Thanks, I have to go before my husband thinks that I have been murdered up at this end of the driveway."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye, and make sure you tell everyone that I said hi, and especially Fraulk."
"I will do that."
"Bye.'
"Bye." She said as she was flying off into the air.
But mean while all of the back at the vampire city Shark and Zee were still talking, nothing in particular though just what ever popped into their heads. They really seemed to like each other's company.
"Umm, just out of curiosity were am I sleeping?"
"Oh on the couch, why are you tired?"
"A little."
"Me too, so good night."
"Good night, and I don't know how to say this but I think that I'm in love with you."
"I love you too." Shark said as she was slowly creping away, but he said it in a soft whisper it was just loud enough so that she could hear it.
The way that they both said it, it was so truthful and honest that it had to be true love. But wait if this is true, then what becomes of their journey, why is Zoya going totally pale at the face.
"Dracula! Dracula wake up do you hear me wake up. Something has happened and I didn't see it coming and know I do not know what 'tis going to happen next. DRACULA WAKE UP!" Zoya exclaimed.
"What, what is it, what happened?" He said while still waking up.
"Not what, but who."
"Is it Drazera, it is isn't it?" He said a panic frenzy.
"Well yes, but only in a way well technically is it half her fault."
"What happened to her, tell me what happened to her now!" Dracula demanded.
"Sit down!" Zoya yelled. "And further more do not yell at me!" She added but screamed this time.
"Just tell me what happened to my daughter, please."
"Well, she fell in love with Shark. That wasn't supposed to happen, I am..." Her talking had been drowned out by Dracula's screams.
"What? She is in love with that, that Trousdale. How could that have happened, she is so much smarter then that, he, he must have tricked her somehow." As he spoke he had picked up a lamp and chucked it across the room and almost hit Zoya in the head.
"Dracula you are not getting it are you?"
"What do you mean I am not getting it they fell in love which means I have to go and kill him now for doing whatever to my baby girl. By now it was a miracle that the mountain didn't fall over do to all of the yelling form the two of them.
"Dracula sit down and listen to me carefully," This time she spoke in her normal soft voice.
"I can not sit down I have to pack, my things and make a fast trip to Vampier. Now if you would excuse me."
Now she was pissed off, beyond capacity. "I will not excuse you, don't you understand they were never supposed to fall in love..."
Before she could finish, "Ha, you bet they were never supposed to fall in love!"
"You are not listening, I am the seer of life, and I see and know all. They were supposed to fulfill their destiny by vanquishing Mia, and then go their separate way and get married and never see each other again. Now they are in love, this was never going to happen, that lamp, that lamp right there that you just broke wasn't supposed to break for another four hundred and fifty-six years, three months, two days and 14b hours. I don't know what is going to happen next, I can't even tell you what the lottery numbers are, or anything. This is beyond bad; it could be Pandora's Box all over again. Do you understand now?"
"Are you serious? It could turn into Pandora's Box, apocalypse, no way. It couldn't get that bad, could it?" Now he was so worried that he had forgotten all about Drazera.
Back at the city Drazera was just waking up, when she had opened her eyes she saw people running around everywhere. She could barely make out what they were saying, something about having to get them ready, were they talking about her and Shark.
"Hey good morning sunshine." Said a familiar voice, she look up and it was Margreet.
"Hi, what is going on?"
"Everyone is getting you two ready so you might want to get up and get dressed. I took the liberty of setting out some clothes for you, some jeans, a white shirt and a blue vest with some work boots."
"Cool thanks. Umm.... Where is Shark?"
"Eating some breakfast, you should too after you're dressed."
Soon Drazera was all dressed had food, water, money and extra clothes packed, she ate some food while Shark finished his packing. Then they were off.
"So, they think they can stop me, well lets just see about that. Well Harminee, Burgyndee and Fataliny, what do you think of the accommodations I've set up for you?" He gave an evil laugh, and nodded towards the guardsman to take away the three ties and gagged girls. "I'll kill them before they reach his castle, and make sure they all die."
