Astro and Wonderman: (The Adventures of Team Pixie) Book 9: The Book of Secrets

Katheryn's army of vampires

(Pixie's point of view)

I looked at this vampire with determination in my eyes.

"I don't remember asking you Pixie" Katheryn hissed he last part.

We glared at her and Katheryn just spoke to Lizzie.

"I promise it won't hurt Lizzie because I'll make it quick. Then you could join your sister. I just have one condition. Otherwise you can go home without your little sister" Katheryn voiced.

"What? What is it?" Lizzie questioned.

"You have to work for me. Whatever mission I send you on you have to do. Whatever your commanded to do by me you will do" Katheryn smiled.

"That's not a deal. Your having her give up her freedom just to be with her sister" I glared at her.

"Does it look like I care? I'm a vampire and last time I checked vampires don't have hearts dear. So stop expecting this vampire to magically grow a heart and throw love around everywhere. Me and Leo may have had a thing in the past but our relationship is dead at this point as far as I'm concerned. I don't really mind. The only person you can trust is yourself. And maybe those you convince to join your side in order to be with family. And should she ever hesitate to do what I ask your sister is as good as dead" Katheryn smiled.

Lizzie had a shocked look on her face and a few tears ran down. She wiped them away though and she came towards Katheryn but faced us.

"Do you really even know how to turn someone back human that's been turned by Katheryn?" Lizzie asked.

"Not really but if you give us time I promise you we'll find the answer" I worryingly told her.

"I don't have time" Lizzie voiced.

She then came to Katheryn's side and she quickly transformed her into a vampire with her vampire bite. She fell on the floor but she was now into transition.

"How are you alive anyway!" Lex questioned.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Katheryn smiled.

"Why are you creating a bunch of vampires out of nowhere?" Jess asked.

"Hm.....I wonder" Katheryn smiled and then laughed as she and her vampires came with her. They disappeared into the castle and we all looked at each other.

"This can't be good" I told them.

"Obviously. She's up to something and I doubt she's gonna tell us what she's up to" Loki voiced.

"Wait she said you can't trust anyone. Accept those that she may blackmail....but she also made sure she wouldn't ever resist her orders" Lex pointed out.

"Literally every villian we've faced. What's your point?" I questioned her.

"That whatever she's doing she obviously needs to make sure they are going to do her work. And from the looks of it she's planning something big" Plete answered.

"And what could be so big that Katheryn needs a lot of vampires for?" I asked.

"A war?" Lex suggested.

"It's possible. I have noticed Leo's been slacking off on his evil deeds. Perhaps he's trying to bait people into joining an army of his own. I suppose we'll find out soon enough though" I voiced.

(Loki's point of view)

"We're going on vacation!" Hope and Angel voiced excitedly.

"So are the other kids. We're going for a while though. Just until we know it's safe for us" Bree answered.

"Why? What's so dangerous here mommy?" Hope asked.

"You'll understand when you get a bit older" Bree answered.

"I want to know now though!" Hope exclaimed.

"Some things have to wait until your a certain age. Besides, we're just trying to do what's best for you kids" Bree told her.

"Where are we going on this vacation?" Hope asked.

"We haven't really figured that out yet" Bree smiled.

"I hope we get to go to a beach!" Angel excitedly voiced.

"We could go to an amusement park again" Hope suggested happily.

"Yes! I'd love that. Amusement parks are so fun!" Angel laughed.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and I went to go answer it as I was packing my things.

It was Pixie and as soon as I opened the door she drew me into a long hug.

"You be careful now. I'll stay behind to see how things are here. That way I can tell you if it's safe or not" Pixie voiced.

"You don't have to" I told her.

"I want to. Besides, I'd hate for you to have to lose Hope and Angel. Don't even get me started on the pain I went through when I lost Jake. I'll just say it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience" Pixie told me.

"Okay. But you be careful as well. I wouldn't want anything happening to you. If something did happen I'd never forgive myself" I told her.

"I'll be okay. Don't you worry" Pixie smiled at me. She stayed then and helped us out with packing things for our vacation.

Soon enough we had it packed but we weren't ready to go just yet. We wanted one last night to be together before we left. So after we were done packing we all spent the day together. We smiled and laughed as usual and it was one of the best days ever. It was one I'd never forget after everything we'd been through. Pixie and I even had a couple of sibling fights but it was how we got along. When the sun started going down we watched some fireworks together. It was created by Stars fire magic and some fireworks we bought at the store.

After this Yeania and Drew watched the kids for us as me and my other siblings decided to have one last celebrity drink before we left.

So we headed to our favorite place for such things and we all sat down and got our drinks and before we knew it, there was no point of return for any of us.
