Chapter 60 Shadows of a Vampire

The waves of light are still going strong. General Mystica transports the being within the book into the earth's realm.. Soon after the waves of light disappear and so does the book.

Everyone uncovers their eyes and looks around.

Nakia-What just happened here?

Ryan answers.

Ryan-I don't know..

Kimberly-Aliens?

Chet-Nah I don't think so..

Ryan tells the others that they all should just go home and be on alert just in case something does happen. Meanwhile, later on in the late evening Nakia calls Zelda and they talk about what happened earlier and Nakia also apologizes for the way she had acted towards Zelda.

She says.

Zelda-I understand why you felt hurt and betrayed.. I want you to know I had no intentions at all of making you feel that way.

Nakia-I know that, I truly do. We are best friends and I guess I forgot that till Ryan talked some sense into me.

Zelda-I'm glad things can go back to kind of normal for us.

Nakia-I know what you mean.

Zelda-Have you had anything to eat yet?

Nakia-Actually no, you know my mind has been elsewhere recently.

Zelda-Want to hang out for a while and grab something to eat?

Nakia-Sure of course.

Zelda-Great.

Nakia-Oh but I really don't want to bug Ryan right now since he's the only one that can drive us to where we need to go.

Zelda-Oh don't worry about that, lets just teleport.

Nakia-Yeah we could do that too.

They both giggle at the thought of Nakia forgetting they could teleport anywhere they choose.

Nakia-Lets go to Chuck's Burgers.

Zelda says with less than medium low enthusiasm.

Zelda-I would love too.. I think.. But that place serves really greasy food.

Nakia-Really? I heard good reviews.

Zelda-So did I that is till I went there for myself last week.

Nakia-Ohhh nasty food?

Zelda-And soaked in grease. And let me just say they really ought to put in their advertising "If you want a heart attack then go to Chuck's Burgers, one visit is all it takes!"

Nakia-Ouch!

Zelda-Definitely.

The next day, Nakia wakes up at 6:30 am. The day is very cloudy, and not just any clouds, dark clouds have appeared and continue to hover over Terra Falls. She turns off her alarm clock and gets out of bed. She stretches her arms as she does this and begins to straighten out her night gown she's wearing. She then goes into the bathroom next to her room. She closes the door and looks into the mirror and sighs at her not looking so good now.

Nakia-Ugh, I look a mess..

She starts picking at her hair when she notices her image disappearing and another one appearing very quickly.

Nakia-What the?

The image isn't really visible but she can tell something is there. Basically it is in the form of a man with his upper body looking very muscular. Nakia can't really make out what it is, but she knows this is not normal. The image disappears as quickly as it appeared. Nakia gasps.

Nakia-What is going on here!

Feeling a bit scared but mostly she just thinks her mind is playing tricks on her, she manages to get into the shower then get dressed. By the time she's finished its 7:25. She is now wearing a pair of dim yellow jeans, a white t shirt with a picture of a wild cat on it, and she has her hair up in a ponytail, and also she's wearing white tennis shoes. Instead of going into the kitchen she decides to leave and wait for Ryan to pick her up in front of her house. She puts on her yellow jacket and holds onto her book bag as she waits.

Suddenly the image appears again but across the street. Nakia looks over and gasps.

Nakia-Oh no! Not again!

The image as before is not really visible, but is there. This time she can see it looking like its wearing a long black leather coat. Nakia starts getting scared again as the image sticks out its arm and points a dark finger at her.

Nakia-This is all in my mind!

She closes her eyes and tries to think of something else but she can't. She wonders what is going on and what will happen.. She opens her eyes slightly and hopes the image is gone but its not. Soon bright yellow beams that form into eyes appear on the image of where its eyes should be. It continues to point and stare directly at Nakia.

Nakia closes her eyes again and tries really hard to think of something else, she thinks she's going crazy and wants to yell out and scream. Just about when she's about to scream a car pulls up next to her house. She opens her eyes and see's Ryan waving her over to him. She looks around and doesn't see the spooky image anymore.

Ryan has on a pair of his blue jeans, a red shirt, a black baseball cap and he has on black sneakers with white strips on opposite sides. He opens the passengers door as Nakia walks closer. She gets in and gives him a kiss.

He starts up the car and notices Nakia looking a bit strange.

Ryan-You okay babe?

Nakia looks at him and says.

Nakia-No, something is wrong.

Ryan-What is it?

Nakia-Ever since I woke up this morning I've been seeing a strange image.

Ryan-Strange image?

Nakia-Yeah.

Ryan's foot presses on the accelerator after he looks around and sees no cars coming from behind them.

Ryan-What type of image?

Nakia-I don't know. Its just a totally dark image of I'm assuming a man.

Ryan-You thinking of other dudes?

Ryan chuckles playfully.

Nakia-Oh come on Ryan, that's not what I meant.

Ryan-All right I was going to be jealous there for a second. And anyway I'm only messing with you babe.

Nakia-I know.. I just feel so different today, as if something or someone is trying to get at me.

Ryan-Don't worry babe. Nothings going to happen to you.

Nakia-I hope not, Ryan.. I really hope not.

On the moon, General Mystica reports to Dark Sinistar as she looks into her floating star crystal.

Dark Sinistar-You have done well Mystica. Now see to it that the Yellow Ranger and her friends are finished!

General Mystica-As you wish.. My Empress.

Later on Zelda and Kimberly who are basically in jeans, t shirts, and tennis shoes with the exception of Zelda's shirt being pink and her jeans being black, and Kim's shirt being white and her jeans being blue. They both walk over to Nakia as soon as first period is over.

Nakia is at her locker by the way looking in and getting books. She starts getting a feeling as if she knows her friends are behind her. So she looks up into her mirror but doesn't see her friends. Instead she see's the same image she had seen earlier this morning. But not only does she see the image but she hears a voice. It says.

Unknown Male Voice-I have come to this world to take you with me.. You are the only one I need.

Nakia shudders with fright and immediately shuts her locker. She turns around and practically screams out when she notices Zelda and Kim directly right behind her. Zelda asks.

Zelda-What's wrong?

Nakia shudders and says in a shaking tone.

Nakia-I.. Think.. Something…I.. I…

Kimberly-Nakia, you okay?

Nakia-No…I.. Think.. I should go. Home.. And rest.

Zelda-Okay. We should go with you.

Nakia-No.. I'll be okay.. I just need to get out of here.

Kimberly-Are you sure you'll be okay?

Nakia stops shaking. And says now in a clearer tone.

Nakia-I'm sure. I just need some time to think alone.

Zelda-Okay, if you need us, call. Please don't hesitate.

Nakia smiles and responds.

Nakia-Thanks, both of you. I'll get an excuse from the nurse and go home.

Zelda-Yeah its probably physical.

Nakia-Hope so. But my mind isn't doing so well either.

Back on the moon General Mystica has been ordered to conjure up Gorgonite, a female monster mainly of the serpent species but with a twist. Her lower body looks like a big tail with green scales, and also she has two legs sticking out of her lower body on opposite sides of course. Her upper body is mostly scaly and her face is most hideous. Large fangs instead of normal teeth stick out of her mouth, an ugly nose, scary purple eyes and instead of a head of hair, she has a head of snake like whips that are ready to strike at any time.

To conjure up Gorgonite, General Mystica must cast yet another spell. She begins to chant as she sits in mid air and staring at her floating crystal ball.

General Mystica-Night into day, and day into Night, I summon the one I need just right, evil demons of conjure and sight appear before me, one, GORGONITE!

Just then the room starts to flash and the floor slightly opens. Soon beams of light shoot out into the room and form into the one and only Gorgonite. She bows to General Mystica and says in a horrid tone.

Gorgonite-I am here to serve the evil side. Give me a command so that I may obey…

General Mystica says.

General Mystica-Dark Sinistar wants you to attack the Power Rangers. Destroy them!

Gorgonite-I shall not fail..

Gorgonite spins around until she disappears.. When she gets to earth she waits in hiding till the time is right to strike..

Nakia leaves the school after insisting that she'll be ok, she just needs to walk home and think. She plans to relax her mind and body but once again she sees the same image as she crosses the street. The image has set itself up a few feet away from her. It begins to speak once again.

Unknown Male Voice-You are the only one I need. I have been given a chance in this world to find you and only you.

Nakia gasps and says.

Nakia-What do you mean?! Who are you?!

Unknown Male Voice-You left me in the other world. Now I have come for you.

Nakia-What do you mean?!

Unknown Male Voice-You shall soon find out.. My beloved.

Nakia gasps and starts running, she runs right through the image.

General Mystica watches and says in a happy tone.

General Mystica-The Yellow Ranger will be finished soon enough. And Gorgonite will finish the others. This should please Dark Sinistar.

Zelda, Ryan and Kimberly decide to leave school early, so when lunch time comes around which was just around they leave to see if Nakia is really doing okay. Nakia hasn't made it home, she has just been walking trying to get her mind back to normal. She see's the image again as she starts walking through a neighborhood that is next to her block. She runs, and I mean she takes off running really fast.

She looks behind her and still see's the image looking back at her. She turns her head back to the front and before she knows it she runs right into a guy, they both fall down on opposite sides.

Nakia-UGH!

Nakia gets up and starts apologizing, but stops. She looks down at the guy who's wearing black jeans and a black t shirt and gasps once again. The guy looks up at her and says.

Jason-Its okay.

Nakia starts to look very confused as if the face of this man reminds her of someone, she's so confused that she can't really remember.

He gets up and notices her staring at him.

Jason-Are you ok miss?

Nakia comes back to her senses and responds.

Nakia-Yeah I'm fine.

She looks at him closely and says.

Nakia-What's your name? Who are you?

Jason-My name is Jason. I'm new in town.

Nakia-Jason?

Nakia tries not to stare at him, but his features seem so familiar. Jason has brown eyes, a mustache a goatee, long brownish black hair and a very muscular build.

Now an overwhelming feeling comes over Nakia as she tries to remember. Her body is exhausted and so is her mind. She tries to talk but ends up fainting. Jason catches her body and looks at her face. He smiles softly yet but with an evil grimace.

Jason-You shall be mine.. I won't let you be destroyed, oh no.. Since I am here I want you to be with me in my world where we will be together forever…

His eyes start glowing brightly yellow and now everything freezes and fades to black..
