Mystical Heights

Chapter 7: The story of Count Dracula's rising

Madam Moone didn't waste anymore time or give any indication as to what she was doing. She instead just grabbed the golden lantern and brought it to her face and whispered a silent chant into the side of it, which turned the golden lamp transparent, except for a blue glowing light to it. Inside you could see a small house with a barn attached to it and looked similar to a miniature rural farm in Kansas would look like. Except for it was "bite size", or kind of like a redneck snow globe you might get from a "mom and pop's" convenience store, when you passed through a one horse kind of town. Madam Moone kept chanting and then a purple colored smoke came out of the end of the lantern. The purple smoke spun in a fast circle above everyone's head until a face started to form in front of everyone from the smoke. The smoke turned into a man's head that looked similar to Professor Xavier from x-men almost. Minus the accent and the motorized wheelchair.

The face was bigger than normal and it turned back into a trail of purple smoke around mid neck and just floated there spinning around the table looking at everyone and made Chassidy scream out loud when the smoke faced man stopped suddenly looking and smelling Chassidy creepily. It made Chassidy slap the smoke in the face . He laughed as her fingers went through his face and made the smoke flutter for a second before making itself whole again. The face blew a kiss and made a smoke ring come from his lips and get bigger the closer it got to Chassidy until it dissipated into nothing. "Bet that works for all the ladies, but it looks like you probably never get to use it on any since your probably stuck in that lamp forever creep. Good thing because your kind of a creepy couch bag." Chassidy replied folding her arms and sitting back.

"Hello Julius, thank you for joining us this evening." Madam Moone greeted the smoke faced man Julius. "Unfortunately I don't have a choice in the matter, now do I witch?" Julius replied giving a rhetorical answer as he spit smoke towards Madam Moone which also dissipated once it bounced off of her face. "Now now Julius, you wouldn't want me to make your living quarters unbearable and make your eternity worse than hell would you?" Madam Moone asked.  " Maybe I shall take that nice whore I let stay with you and I don't know, make her vanish." Madam Moone asked mischievously. "Okay, okay what do you want?!" Julius yelled, almost pleading after she said it. "That's better Julius. Now this won't take long and you will be rewarded for your help tonight." Madam Moone said. "Just tell me what it is and I'll do it as long as you leave my dearest Laura alone." Julius said defeated not putting up a fight to any request he would be given now would be fulfilled by him.

"I need you to go into Lucifer's bag and bring me the 'All seeing eye' book please." Madam Moone asked, but more of an order rather than a request. Julius just stood there expressionless, not giving any indication that he did or did not understand the request bestowed upon him. He just sat there transfixed and almost looked to be in a coma tose state. After a few seconds Madam Moone asked "Julius, did you hear what I said or do I need to introduce Laura to my Pit bull out back real quick?" Madam Moone asked and must of gave a wake up call because one side of Julius lip came up and he dove head first into the snake skinned man purse that apparently had belonged to the devil himself at one point in time.

Solaris wondered if this was actually Lucifer's satchel or was it just the name they had given it. Thinking of the devil brought Solaris back to when she first became a vampire and found out why vampires are cursed with immortality. Why they are bound to live on earth forever. Her lover at the time, who turned her into a vampire for no other reason than to have someone also live with the curse with him forever. Charles asked Solaris over after the Gala one evening and Solaris being almost penniless had agreed to come over to his well known castle. To know Charles Lemingway the third was a filthy rich honor and made Solaris get into his Carriage that was being pulled by six black shining stallions. The stallion's had red eyes that looked as if they were glowing and made Solaris shiver as she felt chills run up her spine from fear. Charles told the story to Solaris while pouring a glass of wine for her. Charles talked as he paced around the room never, not once taking his eyes off of Solaris. Like he was stalking his prey waiting on that moment to pounce and make the kill.
