Once Victoria would get close to a man, she made him forget all about Jennifer.Once Victoria would get close to a man, she made him forget all about Jennifer. But they came to our table having been attracted by Jennifer. Several of them were extremely frustrated by Jennifer's seeming unwilling- ness to dance with them instead of me, but she couldn't. Late in the night, the band started a slow, romantic song. Victoria's eyes got a faraway, dreamy look. I figured that we had taken sufficient precautions regarding Jennifer, and she could be left alone for one song. I asked my fiancee if she would like to dance. For the next five minutes, Victoria was as good as a second skin. The song ended, and we looked at each other like newlyweds. The mood was broken when I glanced over to our table. Jennifer was gone. Victoria and I left in a panic, wondering what could have gone wrong. We searched for our runaway vampire, splitting up and flying off in opposite directions. I found her nearby in a largely empty, unlit parking area. There was a woman in her arms. "JENNIFER, STOP NOW!!!!" I shouted. I saw her bloodshot eyes from the sky and could only hope I had not been too late. Neither Victoria nor I would have no control over any vampires Jennifer made. When I landed, she was crying. The mortal Jennifer's voice spoke as she looked at the limp body in her arms. "My g-g-g-g-" She struggled, but could not get the holy word past her lips. "This is my best friend! Now I've killed her! I've killed her!!! I didn't mean to! One second I was in the club surprised to see her, then the next, I was out here!!! I don't know what came over me! It was like -- I _had_ to drink her blood!" She sobbed pathetically. "What have I done???" she wailed. Fortunately, the young woman was still alive. Barely. I told Jennifer, expecting her to calm down and feel a little better about it. Victoria arrived quickly, having been alerted by Jennifer's hysteria. |
