Shadow-Dancer: Return Of An Old Foe [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE VERSION]

Chapter 13: Vampire Detectives

Becca's POV

As we begin to clean up the mess, the PA system comes on.

"All prisoners are to return to their cells immediately," the First Entity says over the PA.

"Anti, ya think ya can teleport us back ta our cell?" I ask.

"No can do," he says, briefly taking control of Jack's body. "This place is blockin' all forms of magical transportation."

"Well, looks like we'll have ta figure out where ta go," I say.

"Fortunately, I remember the path we took ta get here," Ob says.

"Lead the way, Ob."

Ob materializes and begins to lead us back to our cell, literally going through the same corridors and hallways, but in the opposite direction. When we arrive at our cell, she disappears, going back into her space in my head. I open the door, only to find two girls sitting on the couch. Both are unnaturally pale, one has dark black hair, and the other has red hair. The black haired girl stands up, extending a hand towards me. I shake it, and she smiles, revealing that she has fangs in place of canines.

"Sorry for the intrusion," she says. "I'm Carmilla, and this is my girlfriend, Laura."

"It's alright, this isn't even my place anyways," I reply. "An' I already know who ya are."

"Really?" Laura asks. "How so?"

"Ob's heard about ya. I mean, you are two of the best detectives in the supernatural world. And I wouldn't easily forget meeting ya in yer dimension."

"You know, I honestly thought you'd be more..." Carmilla trails off.

"American?" I ask. " That's what a lot of people think when they first meet me. While I was in fact born in Ohio, spendin' almost three years with Jack, coupled with the fact that I have Irish blood, has made me more Irish. Includin' the accent."

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Laura asks.

"Lily?" I reply. "Yeah, but Dark instructed her an' Turq ta stay an' protect their home an' their mum, in case Antimatter decided ta target them."

"Alright, let's get down to business," Carmilla says. "What's the plan?"

"What plan?" I ask. I feel Ob facepalming.

"The escape plan!" Ob exclaims. "Honestly, ya are such an eejit sometimes!"

"Oh, THAT plan!" I exclaim. "Sorry, I just haven't had enough time ta even come up with one."

Suddenly, the door slowly creaks open, and a little girl with bright green hair and eyes that look like Jack's logo peeks in. She looks straight at Alex and Monika.

"Mommies?" Sam Septiceye asks. "Is it weally you?" Alex walks over to the now 6 year old girl, lifting her into her arms.

"Oh, my little baby girl, yes, it's us," she says. "You've gotten so big!" Sam looks around the cell. When her gaze lands on me, her green eyes light up.

"SHADIE!" she exclaims.

"'Shadie'?" I ask, totally confused. "Also, who is that?"

"She was originally a jumbo sized Septiceye Sam plushie that I had given ta Alex fer her birthday back in 2013," Ob explains, materializing. "Also, she can't exactly say 'Shadow-dancer', so she calls Becca 'Shadie' instead."

"UNCLE JACKIE!" the little girl exclaims. "YAY! I SO HAPPY!"

"How much?" Monika asks, smiling at her and Alex's daughter.
