The Queen of the Vampyres

Well, back to it This nice ware-wasn&039;t going toStar shalt appear before her own chylde, shalt help with the taking of the World, and shalt appear before the Queen in all the rai to worry about In fact, you need not worry about a thing Not one thing The devil won&039;t be as bad as you think;is all hype

And your sisteryou can&039;t handle What you should really handle is Eric Sinclair, because while he&039;s a pain in the ass, he&039;s also going to coood side

Also, why are you wasting your ti out loud This is your da around on top of it figure it out, the better

Hmm For an evil book written by an insane vampire who could see the future

How did I know that?

written in blood and bound in hu a lot of sense

So just do your job be the boss, run things your way, and rip the throat out of anyone who forgets who&039;s in charge You know, I had been letting things slide a little I couldn&039;t believe I&039;d been worried about reading the Book of Good Sense! Finally, I was seeing things clearly It was all so obvious The first thing I had to do was go down to Scratch and tell Slight Overbite that he&039;d been 100 percent right about the best way to run a va hole Then I&039;d-

"Betsy! Are you in there? What are you doing?" Wha with the door!"

-clean upon in this room was any of Jessica&039;s da on doors and de, and I was done now

I got up from the small couch, slapped the book closed, laid it tenderly on the stand, and walked over to the door

"Bets! What&039;s going on? Are you okay? You&039;re not doing anything weird and va the door and tossed it so hard it crashed into the far side of the roohly it had bent the knob Oh well Plenty more where those ca-" Her eyes widened "Are you okay?"

"Fine," I said, then slapped her so hard her head banged against the doorfrarabbed for ht better of it, and leaned against the door One hand flew to her cheek, and the other flew to the side of her head I sh her fingers

"Betsy, h-"

"Don&039;t bother et another one"

"But-b-b-"

"And I wouldn&039;t advithe interrupting , her fear was so big It esoh those annoying veins I sain, and it was kind of funny to see she couldn&039;t dodge it in time, didn&039;t even know my hand had moved until her other cheek started to throb "I have to thay, I thould have done thith yearth ago"

"Betsy, what&039;s wrong?" she cried, and I decided not to kill her She was irritating, and I&039;d probably get her money when I pulled her head off-she didn&039;t have any fah she was scared shitless, she ondering rong withwith you?

I decided I would keep her around; it&039;d be good to have sheep orried aboutno matter what I did to her

And ohhhh, the blood Did I &039;th wrong," I told her, alle thing" Then I seized her shoulders, jerked her towardyummy chomp out of the side of her neck

She screamed, and her hands came up, too late-way too late It almost took the fun out of it; she was so slow Her hands beat against me while I drank, but I didn&039;t even feel it; instead I was thinking, Blood taken by force tastes better It eird, but there it was I didn&039;t o when I was done, and she hit the carpet so hard she raised a cloud of dust She crawled away fro, and curled up under one of the end tables I licked her blood frooing to get the hang of this, by God Sinclair could o whenever he wanted

U down so I could see her under the table "Don&039;t interrupt , don&039;t cut me off really, just leave me alone unless I need you In fact, it&039;s probably better not to speak until spoken to I&039;lad we had this little chat," I finished cheerfully It was good to get the new ground rules out into the open "I&039;ll see you later Oh, and I&039;ll need a check for three thousand dollars There&039;s a sale at Marshall Field&039;s"

I left, carefully shutting the library door behind oody, the doorknob worked, even if it was bent on the inside I should rewardit

Make it four thousand dollars
