the vampire rose

The wrong turn

Lucian didn't take Susan advice to stop sneaking around the mansion. He continued to search the catacombs to seek the truth. But what he didn't know was that Michael was on to him and even  at the dept of the
catacombs Michael was there.

Lucian knew that Michael would do whatever it took to keep the rose a secret even if it meant killing his own. he continued to go deeper within the catacombs he found himself at a crossroad. Something within him told him that this was not the end of his journey within the underground maze he was not going to give up.

Lucian studied his surroundings over and over he scanned every nook and cranny looking for anything that would lead him to Michael's secrets. He had became obsessed there was no turning back now. He looked the stone structure over once more and this time he noticed that all was not as it seemed. He began to understand the language that was hidden beneath the dirty rocks that laced the hidden entrance. Michaels underground layer was impressive to Lucian he realized the intricate detail he put into designing the multitude of retractable wall's made within the limestone of the mansions. Lucian felt the power that surge through his veins it was at that moment that he knew what to do to retract the stone wall and enter into what he knew to be the truth.

Lucian recited the words on the stone wall and soon the wall retracted. He found himself entering a room full of  historic item's. Some of the items were dated as far back as the early 1800. "How old was Michael he wondered? "

Lucian continued to look around studying what he could he was like a baby in a candy store. Everything meant something to him he studied piece after piece until he came across a ancient map explaining a deeper part of the catacombs. The map told of a entrance that had to be several miles under the layer that  he was now in. Lucian smiled he knew that this was what he came for. To him this was the holy grail of all holy grails.

Meanwhile back in Transylvania Susan smith worries were beginning to haunt her. There was now a small group of people who knew what they saw the night when the mother and child had been murdered. Some suspected that the murders were done by a vampire. The town had  talked about Susan Smith being the murderer they figure that none of what was going on in carnival took place until she arrived. Plus the woman that was describe by the witnesses fit her description. Later that night a crowd of three hundred angry people decided to pay Susan a visit. They wanted answer's but more than anything they wanted revenge for what she had done to that poor woman and child. No justice no peace the crowd spoke as they marched to susans home. The poeple was angry they wanted someone to pay for what they had done. They marched to the home with weapons in hand... Tonight the strange woman was going to give them some answers one man said to another as they continued to move on. The streets were filled with on lookers who fuel the mob intensity to kill.

Meanwhile Susan rested she had no clue that just moments away was a group of angry people who was coming to do her harm.

The sun was starting to set the mob of angry people reached Susans home and begun to shout for her to come out. Thirty minutes has past and still there was no Susan. The crowd was getting angrier they felt as though Susan was purposely ignoring them. Not one person attempted to knock on Susan door they were afraid of what they did not know about her.

The sun had set completely now and Susan had awakened from her slumber. The hunger inside her was atrocious and her animal instinct was in overload. She was now ready to feed her desire to kill was through the roof she didn't care anymore someone was going to die.

Back inside the mansion Lucian took hold of the map he placed it inside his pants pocket before heading for the catacombs. This time something was different he didn't remember seeing a door being in the front of the entrance. He tried opening it only to find that it was locked. He soon took out a small pointy object that opened the door for him. He pushed it open and proceeded to step through. He found himself staring at no other than Michael himself... "What are you doing here Lucian, asked michael?"
Lucian couldn't say a word Michael had startled him he waited for the words to come out of his own mouth but there was nothing. The look on Lucian face was priceless Michael had struck Lucian in the face so hard that Lucian flew backwards into the wall knocking him unconscious. Michael proceeded to drag Lucian's body to a secret chamber of where he was to be imprisoned forever.

Later that night when Lucian had awakened and found himself thrown inside a locked cave. He wished that he didn't take the wrong turn that led to his Demise. He knew the penalty for what he was trying to do. He knew that Michael was only buying time for him until he decided to do away with him once and for all.

Back at Susan's home the mob begun to throw things at the house. Susan moved eagerly towards the window to see what the sound was. She couldn't believe that right outside was people screaming for her to come out to them. This was a dream come true for her she was hungry she vaporize into mist moving toward the crowd without them knowing. She chosen the victim who would fall by her hands first. No one saw that he was gone it was only until she was finished that she let the body fall down from up high. Everyone screamed some began to run but not one person could escape her rage.
