Still got 5 tests to go!

Enjoy!

When you find the one…20

The pair of vampires, though still aware of their surroundings, were slumbering lightly. The next day had already come and the sun was shining brightly. They had remained in the same position as the night before. Kim was wrapped in Shego's arms, her back towards the woman's front. Both of them lay on the couch, eyes closed and breathing slow. They were quite content with the way things were right now. Not quite asleep but still regaining a lot of energy.

Their peaceful moment got disturbed quite roughly when an explosion echoed throughout the entire house. Both Kim and Shego shot up from their spot on the couch, eyes shifting wildly.

"What the hell was that?" Shego hissed, her body screaming to defend herself.

"I have no idea, did it come from inside the house?" Kim questioned and she had already slid into a slightly defensive stance.

"It sure as hell sounded like that," Shego replied and she took a few steps in the direction of the explosion. "Seeing as there's a bunch of smoke piling up in the house I reckon something is burning at the moment." She added and she motioned for Kim to stay put. The moment she disappeared out of the room she heard a yell. A yell that sounded a lot like Kim. Without a second to waste Shego sped back to the living room. Though when she returned Kim was already gone.

"Shit! I can't believe I fell for that!" She hissed at herself and she punched right through her white leather couch. Smoke emitted from her body, her anger rising dangerously. She looked around and immediately spotted the way the vampires got in. The window was open, its curtains fluttering energetically. "Damn it all to hell! That fucking Fino! When I get my hands on him oh he'll wish that he hadn't messed with Kimmie." Shego cursed and she stormed out of the house, smoke still emitting from her body.

She decided against running to his mansion and simply stepped into the one car that she had left. It was a Mini Cooper S; it was of course black with light green stripes. Custom. It had a tiny spoiler and could easily reach around the 125 miles an hour. Even though it was a tiny car and one that didn't really fit her image, it DID live up to her expectations. She wouldn't trade it for the world. The engine of the small car roared into live impressively and she drove off with screeching tires. The garage door opened just in time and closed slowly behind her as she sped off.

It took her about ten minutes to race down the road and head for Fino's mansion. Her Mini roared loudly, racing on its full speed as she steered up to the gate that surrounded the vampire's house. She turned sharp; her tires screeching as she came to a smoky stop only inches away from the gate. She almost pushed the door out of its hinges as she opened it and stormed up to the gate. She stared into the new camera and plasma blasted it into pieces. Without another second to spare she blasted right through the gate. Though not with her plasma, no, with her mind. The gates were hurled into the air and landed about 10 feet away from her.

She couldn't care less. Angrily she marched up to the front door of the mansion and that too found the wrath of her powers. She looked around and there wasn't a vampire to be seen.

"What the hell?" She muttered and she started searching the entire house. She kicked doors open and checked every room for a sign of Kim or any other vampire. Though it wasn't a success, there was no one to be found. She reached the last room, Fino's room. The room where she had been tortured and almost had been raped. The door was blown into splinters and she stepped inside angrily, plasma still lit.

The room was empty as well and her plasma died out once again. Her arms fell to her sides in defeat, realizing that the vampires had taken Kim and had left the house. She had no idea where her beloved red head was. They could've taken her everywhere and she didn't know where to start.

Instead of being sad she became even angrier. She punched right through a wall in Fino's room, leaving a gaping hole in it. As she punched the hole in the wall she heard the sound of feet shuffling to the right. It brought a questioning look on Shego's face and she ignited her plasma again. She attacked the wall full force; knocking it down completely and discovering there was a space behind it.

Her eyes immediately fell upon a young vampire male who looked about 17 years old. She grabbed him at the front of his shirt, making him whimper girlishly as she lifted him off of the ground.

"Where did they take her?" She questioned angrily and she shook the boy a bit. "Tell me where they took her!" She yelled at him and he closed his eyes in fear.

"I… I can't h-he'll k-kill me!" The boy mumbled pathetically.

"If you don't tell me you'd wish he had killed you! I could kill within a second or take days to torture you to death. So if you don't tell me RIGHT NOW! I'll be choosing your faith for you." Shego threatened and it was enough to convince the boy to tell her everything. Apparently Fino had taken Kim to Prague; they had taken off in a helicopter that had been prepared for Kim's arrival. The second the vampires arrived with the red head she was knocked unconscious and was strapped up on board of the helicopter.

"What does he want with her?" Shego hissed at the terrified boy.

"He wants her to be his bride, forever. He'll use the moon." The boy sputtered and Shego gave him a confused look.

"What do you mean he'll use the moon?" She questioned.

"The.. the moon. It's told that when a human is changed into a vampire he or she can switch clans. In order to switch clans one must be hypnotized during full moon, then Fino will bite her and he'll take all of her memories from her. She'll become a whole different person, a blank vampire sorta speak. He'll be able to give her new memories and he will let her fall in love with him. Once the switch has been done it can't be turned back. She'll belong to Fino's clan forever. You'll lose her completely if you don't stop them." He explained and Shego stared at him wide-eyed.

"You mean that son of a bitch can manipulate MY Kimmie's thoughts, feelings and memories? That asshole is going to change her into a helpless vampire!" Shego snapped.

"You'll have to hurry, by sundown you'll be too late. Your friend won't be able to fight them off; they'll keep her in a state of unconsciousness all the time. Who knows what they'll do to her! Hurry! He's taking her to the Charles Bridge that crosses the Vltava River. She needs to be bathed after the ceremony." The boy said.

Shego finally lowered him to the ground.

"Thanks." She said and she turned to walk away. "What's your name?" She asked without turning to look at the boy. Unknown to her he smiled at her as he straightened his clothes.

"My name is Eligio madam." He spoke gently and Shego's lips curled into a slight smile as she thought about the name.

"To choose." She spoke absentmindedly and she ran off, leaving Eligio behind.

"Good luck madam." He spoke knowing that she could perfectly hear him as she sped out of the mansion. It was a matter of haste now; she only had a few hours for the sun would begin to set again. She had to get to The Czech Republic.

"Prague." She spoke to herself as she slid into the driver's seat of her Mini Cooper. The engine came to life and she drove off, heading for the airport where she had left her own personal jet. The one she had used to fly Kim and herself to Germany. A faint smile spread across her features as she thought about the first and only time she had flown Kim to Germany. It wasn't a precious memory but she was fond of it nonetheless. It held her precious red head in it and that was enough to treasure it. She just hoped that she would arrive on time.

The only upside to the situation was that she knew where she had to be. If she hadn't known where they would perform the ceremony she would've surely been too late. She knew that Prague was a huge city and it would be like searching a needle in a haystack.

She maneuvered her Mini through the German traffic on the autobahn, taking the exit towards the airport. She parked her Mini almost directly next to her jet, not giving a shit whether it was allowed or not. She closed her car with the push of a button and quickly lowered the door of her jet, which was also a stairwell. She sped up the few steps and quickly shut the door behind her. She quickly sat down in the pilot's seat and put the pair of headphones over her ears. She switched some buttons, checked the meters and started the engines of the jet.

She waited for the okay and when that was given she taxied onto the runway. She steered the jet in the right lane and waited for the second okay. When that came the engines started roaring and the jet quickly accelerated until it was going fast enough to take off. The wheels left the ground and as soon as she had reached the right height she flicked a button to retract the wheels.

"Goddamned convenient that I own a jet." She spoke as she navigated the plane to its destination. "Never would've thought that I would have to fly it to Prague in order to save my vampire lover from a lunatic though." She added as the jet climbed higher. She steered straight to Prague, heading for the town's airport. She didn't speak their language but that wasn't a problem because she was guided to the runway in English. At least she was allowed to land there without giving a heads up first. That was one thing she knew about Prague. Planes almost always had to report that they were going to land 2 hours up front.

They, clearly, made an exception for Shego, though she didn't know why. She didn't care either she had to hurry and find Kim. What she didn't know was that her task was going to become a lot more difficult than she expected. She had landed without a single problem, though the word spread fast that she had arrived in Prague. All too soon did the vampires know that she was getting closer and Fino wasn't happy with it. That's when he decided to send his servants to, as he said, take care of Shego. He would do anything to stop the woman from saving Kim; he had to perform the ceremony. Next to Shego Kim had become the perfect vampire to wed and reproduce with. Seeing as he didn't want a repeat of the last time he had finally decided for a second choice, who had became Kim.

It was of course also partially out of revenge. Never had a woman insulted him in such a way and he wanted to get back at Shego. What better way was there then to attack her mentally through help of the one she loved? It was the perfect, evil plan. Shego was and still is a powerful vampire and Fino knows that it'll take a bit more force to take her down. So that was exactly what he was going to send her way. No more young vampires that had no or very few experience. He was going to send vampires with fighting experience ones that knew how to control their abilities.

The moment Shego left the airport on a motorcycle she had rented it all went wrong. On the highway to Prague she got followed by a dark BMW with tinted windows. At one point the BMW tried to push her off of the road, forcing her to maneuver around the cars in order to get to safety. She upped her speed to 150 miles an hour but the BMW kept gaining on her. She was forced off of the road and was now headed for a village that lay next to Prague. The BMW kept pushing her, trying to push her off of the road. She raced through the small village with the car right on her tail.

The road she followed curled upwards, leading to a forest that lay behind it. Shego cursed softly, knowing that this was going to cost her a great amount of time. She needed all the time she had to rescue Kim and this wasn't helping. Though she of course knew that Fino was behind it all, she knew he was afraid of her. That tiny thought made her grin but not for long as the BMW came up on her left side again. The BMW pushed her to the right, forcing her towards the forest that had grown at the sides of the roads.

"Shit!" She cursed a bit louder and she decided it was time for something extreme. She steered her bike towards the forest, heading straight towards it and steering around the trees. Relentlessly the BMW followed her, barely avoiding the trees. Shego's bike roared loudly as she sped up a slippery, leave covered hill in between the trees. She reached the top, getting launched into the air along with her bike.

The moment the bike reached its highest point in the air Shego launched herself off of it. With an impressive somersault she sailed through the air, toppling over the BMW, which came crashing into the ground after being launched off of the hill. Smoke emitted from the car and with a grin Shego neatly landed on the forest ground. She knew it wasn't over yet, she waited patiently for the driver to get out of the car. She had to deal with the vampire, whomever it was. She had to be sure nothing else would stand in her way anymore.

The car door at the driver's side got completely unhinged as a heavy boot kicked at it. The door was hurled across the forest ground and the driver got out of the car.

Shego's eyes widened in shock as she whispered his name.

"Gualtiero!"

The man grinned, his fangs sticking out. He ran a hand through his black hair, which was combed backwards. His red eyes glinted dangerously as he turned towards Shego completely.

"Shego," He spoke in a deep raspy voice. "Haven't seen you in a while. Have you gotten any better in defending yourself? Last time you barely made it out alive." He mentioned and he chuckled softly.

"That was a hundred years ago," Shego growled in return. "I've come a long way since then Gualtiero. I could beat you in a second." She threatened and she slid into a somewhat defensive stance as the red-eyed vampire came a step closer.

"Still as feisty as ever I notice." He said lightly and he walked up to her, knowing that she was ready for an attack. He reached out and Shego didn't move an inch as his hand came to rest on her cheek. She didn't even blink as he touched her, his fingers tracing the remains of the cut she had gotten the other day. "Still as beautiful as well, same fiery green eyes." He murmured and he stroked her hair behind her ear.

Shego huffed and turned her face away, taking a step backwards.

"You're still as annoying and ugly as ever, are we done with this lovely reunion now?" She questioned as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

"Eager," He hissed and he slid into a fighting stance. "I like that."

"Well," Shego replied and she prepared herself for the fight as well. "You won't like it much longer." Her plasma came to life.

"Two can play that game." He murmured and electricity started pulsing around his body. It flickered brightly, surrounding his fists completely.

"Same old trick I see." Shego commented and the man's smirk disappeared. He didn't wait any longer; he attacked moving incredibly fast as he launched his electric fist at Shego. The fight was on. She rolled out of the way; attacking with her own plasma engulfed fists. The sparks flew around the two and not in the loving chemistry way. Her fist met his electric one, creating a bright-electrified plasma blast, which blasted the two apart. They both slid to the ground and Shego stopped herself by burying her claw into the forest ground. She flipped back to her feet and faced the other vampire again.

Within seconds they were at it again, Shego kicked at his head and his electric hand fended off her leg. With an almost numbing blow he hit her full force with his electricity. She gasped loudly, her eyes widening completely as she stumbled backwards. She tried to regain her breath as quick as possible, avoiding the attacks of Gualtiero. She shot a plasma blast at him, making him duck out of the way and giving her a few seconds to regain her strength.

The moment he attacked again she caught his electric fist in her own had, crushing his hand with her own as the electricity sparked in random directions. She felt the pain seep through her bones, shocks running through her muscles as she tried to keep her hold on Gualtiero's hand with a trembling arm. She hissed softly and with an outburst of strength she threw him right through a tree. With a groan she fell to her knees, holding on to her trembling arm. The electricity still flowed through her body, making her muscles throb unwillingly. She swallowed softly and licked her lips as she hoisted herself to her feet again. She ignored the pain and faced Gualtiero again.

The man's hand was clearly a mess; Shego had made thorough work of crushing his bones. That was one hand less, which he could use for an attack. And even though she was hurting, it was clear that her opponent was hurting as well.

"You've clearly gotten better," Gualtiero spoke slowly. "I underestimated you, that won't happen again." He spoke in the same slow manner and Shego simply rolled her eyes.

"Bring it pops." She dared him and she slid into her famous fighting stance again. She motioned for him to attack, a grin forming on her face as his expression angered. With a somewhat impressive roar Gualtiero attacked. He attacked in the same way as before, he charged her with electricity flowing around his unharmed hand. Gotcha. Was the first thing that popped into her mind. She had expected an attack like that; it was exactly what she needed to win from the red-eyed vampire. By now she had absorbed some of his electricity, making her resistant. Though it only lasted for a few minutes, which meant she had to act quick.

She moved towards him, the same grin on her face as they collided. Her right hand clamped around his unharmed electric hand and her other hand was placed against his stomach. Her plasma came to life and the electricity immediately flowed into its green energy. Her body started glowing, green electric plasma flowed around her and she could see the fear in Gualtiero's eyes as he realized what was about to happen.

All the energy around her disappeared for a second and within that second it returned full force. An enormous field of plasma combined with electricity blasted out of Shego's body. The sheer force of the blow was enough to send the red-eyed vampire flying. Though that wasn't all. The plasma mixed with the electricity seeped into his body, burning him from the inside with his own powers.

The field around Shego disappeared and she sagged to her knees yet again. Her breathing was heavy as she watched Gualtiero glow with her famous plasma. His pained cries reached her ears but she paid it no mind. She simply watched how he collided with the ground; smoke emitting from his fully burned body. Sparks still randomly moved across his body and Shego's green flames died out slowly.

He was dead and the moment she was sure about that she fell back on the forest ground. She looked up at the gray skies of the Czech Republic, noticing that it was going to rain. Though she didn't care, she had to regain her strength. The stunt she had pulled had drained a lot of her energy and she needed as much as possible to defeat Fino. She didn't have the time or the knowledge to hunt; having absolutely no idea what kind of animals roamed the woods of the Czech Republic. So she had to depend on rest, hoping that she could regain most of her energy through that simple way.

"I've got the feeling that this is just the start of one huge ass vampire fight." She sighed to herself and she rose to her feet again. Already tired of thinking about the upcoming fights she moved to the rental motorcycle, happy to see that it was still functioning, as it should.

"Thank god for that." She groaned as she righted the bike and mounted it. There wasn't a helmet but who cared? She was a vampire, a motorcycle accident couldn't kill her but the fight that was coming up could. She just had to depend on all the skills she had and her instincts. After all…. She had to save the love of her life and she had to be on time in order to do so.

The motorcycle roared to life and she sped out of the forest. She ended up on the same road, as before only this time she wasn't going to stray from her goal.

"Just hold on Kimmie," She spoke as the motor sped up to maximum speed. "I'm coming for ya."

Well.. she was electrifying! damn she kicked some vampire ass! And they got Kim and they're gonna manipulate her with help of the moon! WTF RIGHT! Yeah I randomly came up with that one.. haha!

Right Eligio means : To Choose and Gualtiero means: ruler of the army!

The Czech Republic is an awesome country.. I've been there once and it was absolutely amazing! Prague was awesome as well! With the Charles Bridge and all! I can really recommend it! But you'll have to go for at least a week cause there's a lot to see .. you'll need at least 2 days to discover all the awesomeness of Prague.. but anyway.. moving on.. I've still got 5 tests left. so chapter 21 will have to wait as well... and Wednesday are my last 3 tests!

Thanks for the support!

Yours truly,
