KRISTINE'S ARRIVAL

In a place that looked similar to a military zone with bungalow buildings that were built the same way except they had just slightly different structures and they were all closely packed in one area that was isolated from the rest of the village.

"BN, where is boss?" a vampire man wearing a guard like uniform said, exhaling cigarette smoke from his nostrils, " he's inside with agent XR" "XR is here?" he asked with a surprised look, the other one nodded " that must mean he has another one in his claws ".

" Scarlett? is that you?" a woman looking around Scarlett's age stopped and said with a look of surprise, "Kristine!? you're back!" Scarlett stood up from her chair, " Aunt Kristine!" Zoey said with a wide smile and rushed to hug her.

"When did you get back? it's been three years " Scarlett said with a welcoming smile, "come in and sit" she added as Kristine entered and sat on the plastic chair while Scarlett sat on the stool " I got back yesterday night, ah it's been a while, Zoey has grown taller" Kristine said with a smile while Zoey blushed in the corner " how was Zachary Town" Scarlett asked " Scarlett, believe me when I say Zachary was just the place I needed to visit".

" Really?" " yes! infact I just came here to check on the new house I'm building" Kristine said "don't tell me you're the one building that mansion along dutch lane". Scarlett said with wide eyes while Kristine nodded with a smirk " trust me Scarlett, Zachary is the best place for us, you know it's filled with vamp-" Kristine was saying when she noticed Scarlett making a ' keep quiet' gesture at her.

"Okay Scarlett, why don't you come visit me later this evening, we'll speak more, I have to get going " Kristine understood the gesture and glanced at both Zoey and Margaret " Zoey, have this, give one to Margaret" she gave Zoey two gold coins and started leaving "thank you so much aunt Kristine " Zoey and Margaret both said " I'll come over this evening, see you then" Scarlett waved the leaving Kristine.

" Aunt Kristine must be really rich for her to give out two gold coins just like that" Margaret whispered to Zoey as she collected her share.

Scarlett didn't go to Kristine's house that evening and decided to go the following morning.

-The Next Morning-

Scarlett was up very early, the sky just started getting bright, she entered into the kitchen and locked it as usual.

She brought out a bowl of pounded vegetables, the smell was horrific but she didn't bother about that, she brought out a medium sized pot that looked old from one of the locked cabinets, she poured water into it, filling it to half, she then used her hands to squeeze the vegetable juice into the water, she was muttering some words while doing this.

She lit fire on the coal stove to let it boil, after some minutes, the light green mixture turned dark green, she then opened another cabinet that contained small corked bottles filled with orange liquid, she took one and poured the whole thing into the boiling mixture, and it changed from dark green to dark orange, after a while she opened another cabinet that contained syringes filled with thick dark red liquid, she then added two drops of the liquid into the mixture while muttering some words.

The dark orange mixture gradually started turning dark red and started getting thicker. After a while, she put off the stove and emptied the pot contents into metal flasks "order complete" she mumbled.

She muttered some words again and all the evidence that something occured there went poof, as the items arranged themselves back to their normal positions and the cabinets locked themselves and any lingering odour dissipated into fresh air.

Scarlett then stepped out of the kitchen with a polythene bag filled with metal flasks and her own handbag.

" You both don't need to go to the shop today, rest at home until I come back " she said to Zoey and Margaret and left for Kristine's house.

"Margaret... I feel like going to the shop today" Zoey said but she had another plan in mind.
