Seventh night, Yes, I am a vampire, Part III conclusion
You are
standing on the cloud tops at twilight. The stars are coming
out. There is a small coven of vampires to receive you.
To the east the last glows of the sun are fading. It is breezy
and cool.
One of the vampires rises from
lounging on a cloud to greet you. “You did good.
Very good.” She is wearing a long green gown.
Emerald. It sparkles with gems in answer to the stars
overhead. She appears Asian and part of a color tatoo appears
on her slender neck and disappears beneath her high collar.
She extends a arm to Eva and offers her hand. “Come and
sit with me.” She leads Eva to a place in the circle of
vampires and shows her how to sit on a cloud. All eyes turn to
you.
A young black man wearing a black
suit with a top hat and a cane speaks up. “You forgot the
book, surely you couldn’t have memorized it by now.”
His face is painted with white. It looks like the caricature of
a skull. He lets out a strong laugh. It sounds deeper and
older than the young man looks. “It is of no matter.
We shall recover it tonight.” He touches the brim of his
hat at you.
Another man moves to address
you. He stands and faces you. He is wearing colonial era
clothes, even the powdered wig of a judge, but he appears distinctly
native American Indian. Hawk like nose, dark eyes, the hint of
black hair under the wig. “You are to be welcomed into my
family. You have already met my number two man, but I am the
chief. You will call me chief,” His eyes seem older than
time. “Tonight, number two will lead the drinking rats
through the gate. To prepare the way for our entry into the
White Man’s city of New Orleans.” He spreads his
hands to encompass the clouds, the circle, and the stars.
“First we shall return to the plantation. There we will
prepare for Omni. He will come after us in great anger.
After we have dealt with him, we will join number two.” A
huge smile creases his face. He has perfect teeth. “To
claim our city.”
