I have to regain control over myself and my reflections. It was hard but I was able to do it. Blaxton has been protecting me from mast slaying attack towards me. We were returning to Garside Grange Independent Day School. I arrived at the school to see a gathering of vampires and Vlad reading from the Praedictum Impaver. My eyes widen as he finished reading.
"Nooooo!" I scream as I gain everyone's attention. The book begins to pulse and morph as Sethius rises from the book.
"Not expecting that." Vlad states.
"That feels good. I thought I was never getting out of there. What century is this and where am I?" Sethius asked.
"21st century, England." Vlad replies.
"I am Sethius. The chosen one." Sethius exclaims.
"You can't be. Vlad is the chosen one." the count says nervously. Sethius lifts the count up by the neck.
"Are you calling me a liar?" Sethius asks angrily.
"No." the counts says in a squeak out in a pathetic voice.
"Let him go!" Vlad demands.
"Make me." Sethius saids to Vlad. Vlad grads Sethius arm and begins to lower his arm. Sethius begins to laugh. I had to do something. Just then Sethius dusted a vampire. I walked out so I was out in the open.
"Sethius!" I call out as everyone looks at me and Sethius slowly turns to me.
"Ah, a Dragomir. I was wondering when one of you would show up. Where's the King or Prince. Where's the heir?" Sethius questions me. I remain calm as I glare at him.
"I'm the heir. I'm the Queen. Queen Vimka. Now bow down to your Queen!" I command his as I use my Queen voice. Sethius walks up to me and bows before standing up, taking my hand and kissing it.
"My Queen." Sethius says. Before he turns to look at the other vampires.
"Now, who is going to give me the grand tour?" Sethius asks as Ingrid and Bertrand fight for his attention. Pathetic.
"Vlad you'll have to play along with Sethius. Until you have a plan. I'll keep him distracted. Vlad, get to work on that plan." I say and walk to my room. Blaxton was finished putting my coffin in the room.
"Blaxton. Vlad completed the book. Sethius is out." I inform him.
"Vimka, My Queen, we must leave immediately. We can let the prophecy about Sethius and you come to be." Blaxton stated as he began to repack everything. I know what will pass but if Vlad can destroy Sethius the prophecy will never come to pass.
"We aren't leaving. We must help Vlad destroy Sethius." I tell Blaxton and he had no say in it. I went to the auditorium and found everyone there. All the vampires and Sethius was about to leave to slaughter a town.
"First, how about we have a little competition. See which one of us is the most powerful chosen one. Who's got the biggest fireballs." Vlad suggest cockily.
"You really want to be humiliated in front of this lot? Except for you, Vimka." Sethius asks Vlad. Vlad throws a fireball at the wall.
"Can you beat that?" Vlad challenges. Sethius throws a blue fireball and it explodes against the wall. Everyone began to clap.
"Let's stop messing about and play a proper game shall we?" Sethius says and dust the 3 vampires behind Vlad.
"Your turn." Sethius states.
"I could dust everyone in this room if I wanted to." Vlad states and throws electricity out at the wall.
"Impressive. But not as impressive as this." Sethius sends electricity towards 2 of the vampires behind Vlad, dusting them.
"Why did you do that?" Bertrand asks.
"Because I can. And I'm only getting started. I have a vision of the future. A vision of the perfect vampire world. And I'm here to make it come true. I will lead us in a war against breathers and we'll bite every last one. With our food all gone, we will fight one another and anarchy will reign supreme. The ultimate state of evil will've been achieved." Sethius explains before he begins to laugh maniacally.
"You're crazy." Ingrid states.
"That what the old vampires thought in my day. So they locked me up in the book. But now I'm out. And the fun can begin. With my bride at my side will will rule everything." Sethius states and I glup.
"Bride?" everyone calls out confused. I try to back up but Sethius speeds behind me.
"Vimka, my Queen. My bride, where do you think you are going?" Sethius says as he grabs my shoulders. I could see the shocked looks of everyone and Vlad had a look that I couldn't describe. Sethius saw there looks as well.
"Oh, didn't anyone know? Well, I guess I'll tell you. In my century, the Dragomir's made a blood oath that the chosen one will get the hand of arrangement to their bloodline. That's me." Sethius explained and everyone's eyes widen ten folds. Sethius left and I walked up to Vlad.
"So you're engaged to Sethius?" Vlad says and Erin looked at me with pity.
"Technically, I'm engaged to the chosen one." I explain to them.
"So when Sethius is destroyed, you'll become my bride?" Vlad states as he waits for clarification.
"I don't have to be. Centuries have gone by and that oath was made for Sethius. Even though I'm engage d to the chosen one doesn't mean you have to go through with it." I tell him and he looks towards Erin.
"Don't worry. We will destroy Sethius." Vlad assures me. I stayed in the room and pretended to be interested in Sethius. I was sitting next to Sethius on another throne besides his. I wasn't really paying attention as I was using telepathy to make sure Blaxton had everything ready. When I finally began to pay attention to what was happening I saw Renfield and Wolfie open a curtain and almost hit Sethius but he dodged it. It almost worked.
"Hahaha. Did you really think I was so stupid. No one bets Sethius." just as those words left his lips, the count opened another curtain and Sethius was turned to dust. Everyone began to laugh in triumph before Mrs. McCauley entered the room. Everyone was trying to act natural.
"Everything is ready, Vimka." I heard Blaxton say in my head. I forgot I was still using telepathy.
"So, you finally came around to my thinking. Leaving peacefully with breathers." Vlad said almost happily.
"Not likely. Well perhaps. maybe." the count said without fully admitting it.
"And can we please try to get along as a family for the next, say, one hundred." Vlad says more than asks.
"With me as the head. Obviously." the count states.
"Ah. I thought you said we we'd share the power?" Ingrid questions.
"what I actually said was I'd give you the status you deserve." Vlad clarifies.
"Ah, that will be equal to a swamp rat then." the count says.
"Which will give you a top position as my number two." Vlad awards to Ingrid.
"No, no, no. She can't be your number two. You're my number two, that makes her number three." the count argues.
"No way I'm I number three." Ingrid argues back.
"Oh, this is going to be a long one hundred years." Vlad states and I smile at the display.
"Vlad. No biting?" Jonathan ask.
"No slaying?" Vlad ask and Jonathan nods.
"No fun" the count adds. I smile before I remember Blaxton.
"Vlad. I have to leave." I explain as I rise from the throne.
"Can't you stay, Vimka? You just got back." Vlad states as I stand in front of him.
"I'll eventually be back. I have things I have to do." I tell him as I hug him goodbye. I didn't get the emotional farewell I was hoping for as we were interrupted.
"Vimka? Vimka Pritchard? You're Vimka from Stokely?" Jonathan asks me as Vlad and I break from our hug.
"Hello, Jonathan. It's been, what, one and a half years?" I say towards him as he gawks at me.
"But, you're so different. It has only been a year and a half, right?" Jonathan asks me.
"Yeah, it has. A lot can change in a year." I tell him
"But, you're a vampire!" Jonathan states confused.
"I apparently always was one. I just didn't know." I explain before I can feel the sun begin to rise even more.
"I have to go. I promise I will be back to visit." I call out as I leave the room. I walk outside in the dark of the shadows caused by the school as I enter my hearse limo and see Blaxton's already closed and prepared for the trip. I lay in my coffin as my human driver begins the car and drives away from the school. I'm coming back, Stokely.
