Mayeura groaned as she fell to the floor of the musty basement, of Lady Jane's house. Lady Jane yelled, "GET UP! Rule number, nine, don't hesitate and if you do..."
"You'll be dead or a vampire in seconds. Yes I know, you made me memorize them while I was in America, "Mayeura replied in her American accent, which is the only one she can use because the Order had ordered it, as she stood up.
"I know, but I've heard that you're very forgetful, M."
M turned to her and sarcastically said, "Me forgetful? Who would dare speak such a thing?"
"M...," Lady Jane said sternly.
"Sorry Jane."
"Apology accepted. Now come. I have important news to share with you."
Lady Jane left the room and went up a staircase. At the top of the staircase, was a grand brown and red door. On the other side of the door, was Lady Jane's study. Before closing the door, she waited for M to come up. As usual, M took almost 10 minutes to come up the stairs because M was responsible for cleaning up. Sometimes though, it bugged Lady Jane that M took so long, but she knew the girl all too well and just let it happen.
After about 8 minutes, M appeared and Lady Jane closed and locked the door. Lady Jane said, "Sit my dear."
M sits but is slightly hesitant about it because she has never been allowed to even stay in Lady Jane's study longer for 2 minutes. As she sits, the butler brings in a china tea pot filled with tea, along with china tea cups and Lady Jane sits opposite her. Once tea is made and poured the butler leaves. Lady Jane says, "As of tonight, you'll hopefully be a vampire hunter."
M sips from her tea before answer. M said, "Really? But I thought..."
"Mr. Browning and the rest of the Order believes you to be ready, as do I, my dear."
"But...you sure?"
Lady Jane picked up her tea cup and took a sip. "I would not have told the council otherwise."
"Understood Jane."
"Now, go rest for tonight."
M finished her tea as quickly as she could and then left. As soon as M left, Mr. Browning walked in and Lady Jane stood up. Mr. Browning said, "Sit, please."
Both Lady Jane and Mr. Browning sat down opposite each other. Lady Jane spoke first, "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Mr. Browning said, "It's about Miss M."
"Yes, she is fully prepared and we'll have the ultimate..."
"No, it's not about tonight, I know she will do it, she has to...it's about her parentage."
Lady Jane looked worried. "She has no idea who she really or what she is for that matter."
Mr. Browning sternly said, "You can say that, but I'm sure the girl suspects she is different. It is imperative she does NOT ever find out."
"She's 12. If she doesn't know by now, she never will."
Little did Lady Jane and Mr. Browning know, on the other side of the partially opened door, M was standing there listening.
At around 9:39 pm, Lady Jane walked into M's room and found the girl awake. Lady Jane then walked M into her musty old basement and the council was in a semi-circle around what looked like a person. The room was dark and the only light came from a couple of candles. M walked up to the person and quickly noticed it was a dehydrated vampire. Lady Jane handed her a sword that had been dipped in holy water. As M lifted it, the vampire spoke, "Mayeura, I'm a friend of your fathers."
M had a look of terror on her face and just as Lady Jane was about to stake the vampire (which there was enough light now to see the vampire was male), M said, "No, not yet. Please allow me 5 minutes with the creature."
Lady Jane nodded and every one left or so she thought, as Lady Jane and Mr. Browning were listening in, out of sight, leaving M somewhat alone with vampire. M put the sword in both her hands and pointed it at the vampire's throat. M said, "You have 5 minutes before I cut your head off and burn it."
The male vampire said, "You wouldn't kill your kind, would you?"
"What do you mean? Also, if you know my father...who is he?"
"This answer will answer both your questions, your father is Dracula."
M backed up, slowly lowering the sword in the process and tried not to look terrified. She said, "Not possible."
The male vampire stood up struggling but still stood up and said, "Yes it is, but let's not get into that. Let me introduce myself, my name is Josef Cervenka."
M backed up. "There is a door behind you. Go."
Josef opened the door. "Thank you."
The door closed behind him and Lady Jane came running in and the Order quickly followed. Both Lady Jane and Mr. Browning look terrified. Lady Jane walked up to M and told her sorry before knocking her unconscious.
When M woke up, she was in a place she knew all too well, but it confused her because she was on the side on one ever wanted to be on. She was in a cell in the very basement beneath the house she grew up in. M could tell she had been asleep for at least a week because for some unknown reason there were plates of food for every meal for the last 7 days and she could not move very far, except to sit against the wall. M was so weak that no matter who came to give her food for the next few days, she couldn't reach it and didn't have enough energy to move at all. Also, what M was craving, was definitely NOT what they were bringing her.
