Part Four

          

     “Wanna watch a movie or something?” Robyn asked her new friend, Camille. Candy and the others had gone downtown to perform their latest stuff as part of the opening and ending ceremony of a hockey game championship. It was late, around 8 o clock in the evening. The sun had already gone down and the sky was dark and cloudy.

     “Sure…” Camille looked through the movie titles on the shelf. “This one? Queen of the Damned.”

     “Uh, ok sure. You a big fan of vampire stuff…heh?” Robyn raised her eyebrow amusedly. She popped the DVD in the player. “I like this movie myself too…hold on, I’m gonna go get changed kay?” 

     “Ok.” Camille said.

    Robyn’s car had broken down and also, some idiot poked some holes in the tires, thus handicapping the car. Now she couldn’t drive Camille back to Rodesbury Street, instead, Robyn suggested that Camille stay the night and Candy would get her home by tomorrow afternoon. Camille had hesitantly agreed to this only a moment ago.

     A few minutes later, Robyn reappeared in a large t-shirt and loose long pants. “Alrighty, let’s watch this thing.” She hit “play” on the remote and the DVD began its movie. Robyn sat down right next to Camille on the small blue couch in the den. The plasma TV began to emit loud blares from the stereos around them. Robyn turned off the mini lamp and they were surrounded by darkness, whereas the only light source was from the plasma itself.

     Camille noticed how close Robyn was next to her on the couch. She could feel the warmth seep from Robyn to her cold skin. Then slowly she turned her gaze upwards to look at Robyn. Robyn’s eyes were on the T.V screen and Camille became lost in the sea of emerald in Robyn’s eyes. It was just simply so bright and everlasting…so alive. Camille on the other hand, was so dead…but the very presence of Robyn made her feel alive like never before.

     Robyn felt a pair of blue eyes was watching her. She suddenly felt like the eyes were looking right at her own very soul. She shuddered involuntarily. Camille suddenly grabbed some wool blankets and wrapped it around Robyn until she was snug. “Better? Or shall I scoot over there and keep you warm?” Camille offered, smiling.

      “Uh?” Robyn was confused. Camille suddenly seemed different to her. “I…uh, I’m fine, thanks.” But Camille didn’t hear her, and she scooted closer and closer to Robyn and pulled her in her arms. “There…better?”

      “Um…yeah?” Strangely enough, Robyn felt extremely cozy in Camille’s arms. It felt like it was meant for her…Robyn felt no need to resist this strange behavior. It was nice…for once in her life, Robyn felt cozy and at peace. Together they watched the Queen of the Damned.

   Hours went by, and the movie ended. Not long since the credits began to roll up, Robyn had fallen asleep in Camille’s arms. Only when Robyn began to snore softly, did Camille realize she was asleep. She looked down at the sleeping form, and tried to remember the last time she actually felt like this, so calm and at ease, but she could not remember. Then she glanced over to a framed photograph of Robyn and, Camille assumed, her family. Family…Camille whispered to herself. Family…

   “Daddy!” A little girl no older than ten shouted in joy. Percadios immediately dropped his bindle and grabbed his daughter. “Hey there, kid.” He laughed. “Miss me?”

  “Did you bring me something?” She excitedly asked. “Daddy? Did you?”

 “Is that all I’m good for around here??” He joked. “Of course, here…” Percadios reached in his bindle and pulled out a single leather necklace. It had a blue and red stone symbol attached to the middle. “This is a very…very special necklace. Mind you, don’t you go around losing it ok?”

  “Wow!” She took the necklace in her hands. “Where’d you get it?” He stood up and looked at Clemmsytra, his wife, and said, “This is a symbol of our family, should you get lonely or apart, look upon this and know your family is always with you. Everyone who is part of this family wears this symbol.”

           “Daddy…!” Her eyes gleamed with joy. She placed the necklace around her neck. “I love you! I love my family!”

          “That’s right, Alex.” He laughed. “That’s right…that’s the sprit.”

    Camille unconsciously stroked Robyn’s long blonde hair. Family…what was family? Camille tried to remember. It was so long…so long ago in ancient Greece, where she used to live, as a human.

     Family is who you are. Family is who we all belong to. Family is made of people who love each other and help each other even in bad times,” Echoed a voice in Camille’s head. “Never forget that....”

  “…but I forgot…I forgot.” Camille whispered to herself. “I forgot, Daddy…I’m so sorry! I forgot, Daddy!”

             Daddy…

   “What’s with all this emotional crap, Alex?” A voice boomed out from behind. “You cannot be possibly tellin’ me the, oh- so great Alex, is now some kind of emotional wreck and a coward?”

   Camille instantly whirled around and in doing so, she awoke Robyn. Robyn groggily pushed herself up and blinked a couple of times. “H-huh? What?” she yawned. But then she noticed Camille wasn’t looking at her but towards whatever was behind the couch. She noticed that Camille was acting pretty tensed up. Then she looked at the figure Camille was staring at. She gasped, Aries?

   “Hello there, we meet again…Robyn.” Aries smirked. “Boys!” He signaled to the others behind him and they quickly surrounded the couch. Then he averted his eyes to the tall, raven haired female before him. There were hatred and malice in her eyes and he chuckled, “Same old Alex…”

    “Alex…” He laughed scornfully. “What’s this? You snuggling’ with a mortal? Your own enemy?”

     Camille hissed, “Aries…if you hurt her…”

     But Aries put his hands up, “No no! You ain’t in any position to give me no orders! At least, not Camille. Only Alex is my master.”

     “Alex is gone…gone, get it?” Camille slowly stood up, “She’s dead…and will stay that way. I’m Camille…like it or not.”

     “That’s where you’re wrong, Alex.” He laughed. “See buddy, I know about this ring of yours and what it caused. I know that Alex is still alive…Alex is YOU.”

     Camille glared at Aries furiously. Robyn nervously glanced back and forth between them. She slowly backed away, Camille was starting to scare her…the expression she had on, was so hateful. This wasn’t the Camille Robyn knew so far, but something about Aries made her feel like something terrible…terrible would happen…right here…right now! Suddenly the men behind Robyn grabbed her and forced her onto her knees.

    “Robyn!” Camille snapped her head to Robyn. Then slowly she returned her gaze to Aries, “Don’t do this.” She warned. “I may not be the Alex you knew, but I have not forgotten everything.”

    “True.” He said. “But uh, then again, you’ve gotten soft and out of shape over these years…”

    “Don’t.” Camille clenched her jaws. Her whole body was tense and ready for anything. Camille wasn’t about to allow the past to overtake her…especially not Robyn. She felt sorry that she bothered to make her existence known to Robyn, thus endangering her to the terrible evil of the past. “Robyn…don’t move.”

    “Don’t what?” Aries mocked. “Oy! Get ‘er here now!”

     “No!” Camille shouted. “Don’t you touch her!” But the men dragged Robyn in front of Aries and returned to their positions. “Ah, here is the lovely maiden.” He smiled at her rather mischievously. “You know…I didn’t finish what I wanted to do…” Then he pulled out a small knife and pressed it on Robyn’s neck, “Hey Alex! See here…one move and the bitch gets it!”

      Robyn whimpered. This was one BAD dream…she hoped. Let it be a dream…let this be a dream. But the knife pressing on her neck pierced her skin and she knew it was not a dream. It was real, all right. She nervously looked at Camille, who looked back at her and mouthed the words, Sorry.

      Camille stood still. “Aries, I swear…” But he interrupted, “Uh-uh! No talking! I’m the talkin’ guy here! Or else, I’ll silt her throat and you can watch me lick it all up!” Robyn swallowed; the knife was pressed tightly against her skin, causing some blood to spill. Camille was still, but she burned with hatred inside. How dare this man do this to Robyn, she thought hatefully. Robyn had done nothing to deserve this. Don’t worry, just stay still and I’ll try to get us out of this…She thought.

     Aries impatiently glanced at the clock on the wall, “Twelve o’ clock…where the hell is he? He’s already an hour late.” He demanded. Lee whimpered, “I-I don’t know…I-I’m s-sure he’ll be here…”

      “You better be right!” He snarled.” I’m not gonna wait forever…if that brat makes me wait…”

      At that instance, Riley and Monique came right in. “Aries…got it!”

      “Give it here! Hurry!” He held out his hand and Riley slapped down a silver engraved dagger. It had a skull on the bottom with ruby eyes and a green serpent wrapped around the handle. Camille gasped as she realized what the dagger was…the Soul Dagger. She had seen it once before, but it had been a long time ago. So this was Aries’ plan…she thought.

      “Oh boy! I’m so excited!” He laughed maliciously. “Alex…Alex…soon you’ll be back to normal!”

       Camille felt the men behind her close onto her. She then cast a final look at Robyn and said, “I’m sorry…this had to happen. Please understand…” Robyn just stayed still, confused about everything that was going on. She didn’t damn well understand the big deal between Aries and Camille. This sucked, Robyn thought regretfully. If only she could comprehend whatever was going on. Camille was thrown immediately onto the floor before Aries. Aries then raised his dagger and Camille felt the dagger enter her chest. She howled in pain, and Aries laughed evilly as she twitched and groaned on the floor. The dagger began to glow…brighter and brighter like rays of sun and everyone attempted to shield their eyes from the blinding glow of the dagger.  

        Robyn felt herself being thrown back. Camille had just gotten stabbed by Aries! “No!” She screamed. “No!” But Aries’ laughter drowned out her cries…

        Then the blinding light disappeared and the room returned to its dark setting. Aries slowly reached over and removed the dagger. He waited anxiously, his eyes locked on the figure lying on the floor. Robyn managed to get back on her knees, and she quickly caught a glimpse of Camille still on the floor. Everyone was silent and the room was eerily dark and quiet with the occasional whistles of the wind from outside. All eyes were locked on Camille, expecting something to happen.

   Then very slowly, the figure pushed herself off the floor, and onto her feet. Pushing her hair back and stretching her arms, she yawned loudly. “Wha’ y’all starin’ at? Theres nuthin’ to look at!”  

 

    Aries gaped at the figure before him, jaws hanging open. Here he was, standing before the woman that had captured his soul. It was like a dream come true, only it did come true. His non-beating heart seemed to leap with joy. “A-Alex?” He hesitantly said.

     “What the hell do you think?!?” She snapped. “’Course I’m Alex…the Conqueror!” She examined the stab wound in her chest, “Hmph, that’ll be there for a while…”

      “…Then you are back.” He smiled satisfied. “…S-so what shall we do? Slaughter humans again? Seize the world? As a matter of fact, lets go after the government!”

      “…you mean you haven’t learned anything after all these times, you worm?” She spat on the carpeting. “Fool! The world is already advanced…too advanced. We will need to take this slowly one step at a time.”

      “Uh?” He couldn’t believe it. As much as he liked having Alex back, but this was absurd. She was extremely ungrateful, considering he went to all this trouble for the reawakening. “Uh…”

     “Stop your stuttering.” She rolled her eyes. “I haven’t forgotten anything…especially when I was that …disgusting personality, Camille. Oh fuckin’ gods! It was the worst experience…if I had known the stupid ring would do that to me…”

      “…Ok.” He backed off slightly. “…is she destroyed?”

      “…Nope. As long as this stupid ring exists, Camille exists.” Alex held up her ring, which was now colored black. “But…that sword reversed the effect, and now, I am back while the other me is dormant.” She fingered her ring and turned it, “Now stupid ring…you can’t betray me now…heh.”

      “Alex…” Aries finally spoke again. “I…I’ve got a present for you…um, it’s for the celebration that you have returned to us.”

      “Really?” She said unimpressed. “I’m hungry.”

      “I thought you would be.” He motioned for Riley to get Robyn. “Get ‘er here now!” Robyn felt herself being once again, hoisted roughly and forced to kneel before Camille. “You can feed on your first flesh, right here, right now.”

       “Ah, Robyn!” She exclaimed excitedly. “I’m sure you’ll taste really good, since considering Camille is kinda, actually me. So I kinda know how I should feel about you…” She knelt in front of Robyn and raised her chin, “Don’t worry…I won’t bite. I’ll just…heh, USE you.”

      “…C-camille…why are you doing this?” Robyn whimpered. She completely did NOT understand what the hell her own “friend” was doing to her. One minute she was all friendly and kind, and the next…cold and cruel.

     
                  “Ah…I’m not Camille…” She said. “I’m Alex. Camille is just…the other me.”

      “A-Alex?” She was confused. She thought the name, Alex, was Camille’s name when she was once alive a long time ago. If so, this must be…Robyn slowly made the connection based on what she remembered from when Camille had told her about her life. So this must be Alex…the vampire Alex, the evil Alex…

      “Yes…I’m the true Alex.” She laughed. “Yes, smart girl. I can see why Camille…uh, I liked you from the start. The gods must have it that you be mine…mine forever!”

      “W-what?!?” Robyn said startled. “What are you talking about?”

      “…Oh fuckin’ gods…” She rolled her eyes. “Tell me how you feel…about Camille…me.”

      “W-what you mean? We…we’re just friends.” Robyn swallowed. But Alex reached out and grabbed her arm. “Don’t lie to me. You do feel something, don’t you?”

      “I-I…” She blinked. “Umm…?” The question had caught her off guard. It was totally out of the blues and Robyn opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

“Enough with your petty stuttering.” She shouted and slapped Robyn across her cheek hard. “I know…I know how you feel and don’t you ever deny it! Don’t deny that…when we were on that couch…you liked it when I held you…”

       “HOLD IT!!” Aries interrupted. “What the hell are you talkin’ about? W-wha…y-you…she uh, she’s a GIRL! Wha-what in the world is this?!? What’s goin’ on!?!”

       She glared at him, “Quiet! Aries, I decide who I like. For your information, you were just a toy, used and now useless.” And she turned to face Robyn and crossed her arms, cockily. Aries was stunned and hurt, why…what in the world…this wasn’t the Alex he knew before. He cast a jealous glance at Robyn and wished he could kill her on the spot. Then, maybe Alex would be his, once again. He would wait…just wait patiently…for his chance.

       “…I w-was just glad to be warm. It was cold, you know that.” Robyn said in a small voice. Alex rose to her feet, towering over Robyn. “Ah but that’s not the whole truth…and you know it.”

        Indeed, Alex was right. Robyn knew she couldn’t deny there was something there between them. Every time she looked at Camille/Alex, she felt so captured and so whole. Like she’d found completion at last, and she was comfortable like never before in her life. When Camille would occasionally touch Robyn’s arm, she felt goose bumps rush up her arms like wildfire, and the very presence of Camille made Robyn feel something she never felt before…not even with Tim. Tim never made her feel like this. But now, gone was the Camille she knew, and in her place, was the horrible monster, Alex.

        But Robyn wasn’t about to admit that to the cocky Alex. Strangely enough, she felt like she should hate Alex…but found she could not. Damn human emotions, she thought bitterly to herself. If only Camille was still here…

       “Well whatever, the only person I really liked was Camille…not you, Alex.” She said with newfound boldness. She didn’t know why she was boldly talking to her, but she had nothing to live for. Camille, according to Alex, was dead. It wouldn’t matter if Robyn died or not, at least, she wasn’t about to give Alex the satisfaction of thinking that Robyn was some kind of mindless servant that did everything Alex told her to do.

       “…I AM Camille, duh!” Alex laughed scornfully. “Boy, you sure got spunk…I like that.”

             “No you’re not, and you will never be.” Robyn tore her gaze away from Alex. “I believe, I know, and I trusted Camille…because she was who impressed me. Not you.” Alex’s expression dropped and she felt her anger rise. “W-why you…stupid brat.” And she slapped Robyn even harder, “That’ll teach you…never talk to me like that again. From now on, you are mine…like it or not. You’re mine…and that means you will obey me even if I have to beat the hell out of you.” Robyn remained silent as her cheek grew red from the slap Alex had given her.

      “Get her on her feet.” Alex ordered. Aries motioned for the men to pull Robyn up on her feet. Robyn slowly stood up, not facing Alex, but stood there staring at her feet. There was no way she was gonna escape, so might as well get with the program for her sake. But she wasn’t gonna give Alex the satisfaction at all…after all, Alex was a monster. Camille wasn’t. But, who knows…maybe Camille was really Alex after all, and this was just a fake front put on by Alex.  

       “Now…Aries.” She commanded, “I want you to take your boys…and take a trip to uh, the Mayor’s office and pay him a visit. Once there, extend my so-called regrets and kill him.”

       “Y-yes, as you wish.” He said rather moodily. “And then what?”

       “…By god, you really are a moron.” She threw her hands up in the air. “Gosh, duh! Appoint someone Mayor and then, we’ll control the town. It doesn’t like…take an idiot to figure that out. Now…GO, unless you wanna be screwed up.” He left quickly scowling and the others disappeared right after him.

       Then Alex smirked at Robyn, “Finally…we are alone…at long last.”
