Zing 2! : Family Problems

Chapter 18: Lizzy the Peace-Keeper

Elizabeth took a finger-full of frosting from the corner of the cake and stuck it in her mouth. A cold hand was placed on her shoulder and she spun around.

A suit of armor had its hand on her shoulder. "Madam, Miss Wonder Woman has arrived. The Suit of Armor presented a tall, slender, woman with a big bag of costumes.

"Okay, so when does this happen? I've got to have on Princess make-up and a frilly pink dress for a party across the country in three hours."

"Real soon." Elizabeth smiled at the rude woman. "We're gonna give you, uh, a big introduction to get the crowd going."

"No, I don't need that." She looked around. "The kids are already pumped. I do seven lasso tricks and a disappearing act. It destroys. Let's go." She took off towards the stage.

The suit of armor returned, floating and kicking himself in the butt. "Madam -- agh! -- Count Vladimir has -- agh! -- arrived."

Elisabeth looked past the suit of armor to see and old vampire was telekinetically causing the suit to kick himself. She walked over to him. "I'm sorry sir but, may I ask, why are you doing that?"

He eyed her clearly not knowing who she was. "He didn't know who I was. And I don't know who you are."

"I'm Elizabeth Dracula." She took a glass of blood beaters off a tray that a zombie server was carrying and sipped it. "And I don't know who you are."

"I'm Count Vladimir, Dracula's father."

"Lovely." Ugg. I want to leave already! The longer I'm here the harder it will be to leave!

Vlad looked perplexed as Dracula called him over. He left Elizabth alone.

The suit of armor walked up again this time with Neville. "Here you go Mr. Longbottom."

"Hi, Neville."

"You don't seem happy to see me, Lis." Neville put his hand on her sholder and director her to a table. "Tell me what's wrong."

---------------------------------- (Lizzy's POV) -------------------------------------

Lizzy watched silently as her mother talked to her friend and her dad was about to go through with a horrible plan that she just couldn't agree with. What do I do? I promised not to tell mom about this but if they go through with it we move for sure! I'll have to just stop Dad myself. Lizzy stood up out of her chair and walked towards were her dad and a really old vampire were talking. "Dad."

Dracula looked her way. "What, sweetie?"

"We can't go through with this." She stopped in front of her dad. "Let Martha grow into her role as a witch. If you do this then she'll take us to that school for sure. She doesn't want to leave. She just believes it would be better for Martha."

The older vampire looked at Lizzy. "Wait. What? She could be a witch?"

Dracula looked at his daughter's pleading eyes. "You're right." He snapped his fingers and a bunch of candles disappeared from the stage.

"What did you just do?" asked the old man.

Dracula looked at the old vampire. "It's not worth it. Either way I lose my wife and kids." He rubbed his face. "We can't go through with it."

"What's not worth it?" Lizzy heard her mother right behind her.

"I was going to try one last time to make Martha a vampire so you'd stay!" Dracula hung his head.

"How could you do that? When will you ever let it go?"

"Let go of what? Martha won't be happy in that school!" Dracula was despite at this point.

"Martha hasn't been there!" Elizabeth really didn't want to go and it was clearly painted on her face.

"Mom, you know we won't fit in there!" Lizzy interjected.

"Elizabeth, she's not a vampire!" cried Dracula. "I understand that now..."

"We'd rather be here!" Jack ran off.

He's too sensitive for this. I'll have to deal with it myself. "Mom. You clearly don't want to leave either so how about we try something different."
