Eenie, meenie, minie... moe!" Serafine said before pointing at you. With that, the crowd began cheering, eagerly anticipating the show. You were till weirded out by the circumstances. Now that everyone's anticipating a show, you couldn't simply ignore her. You swallowed your fear down, and got up. Maris and Kevin gave you thumbs-ups. They clearly had faith in you, so maybe you'd be safe. You stepped forward, the crowd cheering you on. Serafine, meanwhile, lowered a hand down to you, inviting you onto the stage.
"Hello little guy!" she said as she lifted you up. "You're new to Vampyre Lane, aren't you?"
"Y-yeah," you sheepishly answered.
"Oh hun, no one's gonna hear you with that tone. Now, tell the crowd, are you new to Vampyre Lane?" As she spoke, you scanned her body curiously. Getting the face to move in addition to such realistic fur? Why would someone dedicate so much time to a costume? And why is it so shapely?
"Y-yeah!" you declared.
"Aw, we got a newbie here, Vampyre residents!" Serafine declared. "Newbies were always a favorite of mine. I missed seeing genuine surprise at my tricks!" As she spoke, she kept getting uncomfortably close to you. She wrapped a free arm around you and held you close to her thigh, forcing her cheek against her hip. You didn't realize it on first viewing, but her robe was shockingly thin. If you didn't see or feel the fabric, you'd swear she was wearing nothing. "How many magic shows have you been too, precious?"
"None!" you answered.
"None?! You haven't seen magic before?!" she asked. You could tell she was playing it up. You always heard how magicians were meant to make a show, and this lady was definitely living up to expectations in that regard. "Well why don't we solve that? Though, I must warn you, when I perform, all other shows will pale in comparison."
"Whatever, bring on the show!" you answered. The crowd cheered, and Serafine's grin grew. She snapped her fingers, and you heard a oft "POMF" behind you. You looked behind you, and saw a cloud of smoke, slowly dissipating. Beneath the thick cloud, you saw... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
