I followed R.V. through the black tunnels. I couldn´t see much, it was so dark. I heard R.V. laughing every now and then, and whispering somehting, but I didn´t heard what.

After a long time R.V. stopped. I almost walked into him, but he grabbed my shoulders just before, pushed me into a large room, then came after.

I looked around me. There was a small light, coming from a small, dirty lamp on the ceiling. The room was almost empty, but in one corner stood two vampaneze, and

middle of them was..

"Debbie!" I shouted and took couple of steps closer. "Darren," she said. "I´m so sorry about this. And... I love you, Darren. So much.." Then she broke into tears.

"I love you too, Debbie..." I said quietly.

"Awwww, such a romantic moment," R.V. said in a sarcastic voice. "But now, let´s start the work."

He clapped his hands twice, and I saw six vampaneze dropping from the ceiling.

"Oh crap..." I whispered. One of the vampaneze took my right hand, one took my left. R.V. came in front of, and faced me an evil grin on his face.

Then he started to tell me that the others was walking into a trap, that Mr. Crepsley was going to fight their Lord, Gannen Harst and Steve Leopard.

I almost tried to bite him, but I thought that the others would have harmed Debbie if I harmed R.V.

Well, Mr. Crepsley was very good in fights... but three against one...

"And Shanny, you know what?" R.V. hissed. "There was a chance, so you could fight our Lord. Almost like you could give your life for Mr. Crepsley's. You screwed it up.

You chose your tasty little girlfriend. And you´re going to die. But, old uncle R.V. is so nice, that he gives you another chance!"

I stared at him. Debbie stared at me. "Darren. I´m not going to let you give your life for mine. I´m going to fight and d-..."

"Don´t." I said and smiled to her. Then I faced R.V. again. "Continue."

He giggled. "Well, we are going to let you fight, Shanny. You cannot fight our Lord, but you can fight us. If you loose, you die. If you win - what I doubt - you can live...

Oh, and Debbie is free to go... or will she stay and watch?"

"I´ll stay!" Debbie said. I was just going to argue, when the vampaneze drew their weapons.

"Oh, great..." I whispered to myself. "It´s one Darren and nine vampaneze..."

R.V. heard my whisper and said coolly:"Yeah, that´s life, man."
