1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.839
Tonight, we head back to Strickfield to spend a little

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:10.039
time with Madeline Donnerly sort of because you see this,

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.839
Madeline is not the one you know and love. No, No,

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.920
she's from another universe, an apocalyptic place where all she

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.640
cares about is drinking blood.

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:32.359
What's that you want to be scared to? Come with me.

7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:42.399
He will experience tales over our ghosts and death. It

8
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:48.920
is not recommended, and for the week at Hart Listeners

9
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.600
in the dark, it's more fun at that way. Way.

10
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.759
This is Weekly.

11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:07.959
Speaking, Hello, my spookies. It is Christmas Eve, and I'm

12
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.840
your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto, and we have something

13
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.640
very special to make sure you have a very spooky Noel,

14
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.840
because we're heading back to Strickfield and we're visiting with

15
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.120
our good friends Bella Tabon and Aileen Donnerly and Felicia

16
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:31.000
Mern And in a way, Madeline Donnery, you will not

17
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.000
want to miss this one, because this is an action

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:39.040
packed Strickfield saga that is most certainly a gift to

19
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.239
the most hardcore of Weekly Spooky fans. But before we

20
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.840
get to that, I want to say thank you so much.

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.719
all that is the holidays. And tomorrow we'll have one

24
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.519
more gift under the tree. That's right, Christmas Day, a

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.159
for you and something extra scary for New Year's as well,

37
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.800
So make sure you're subscribed. Tonight's story is about a

38
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:48.520
vampire queen of sorts who doesn't celebrate the holidays so

39
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.479
much as she dominates them. But in the land of Strickfield,

40
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.520
she may find she has a bit of a challenge

41
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:01.439
On her hands as master vampire Bella Table and mutant

42
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.240
spider creature Felicia Myron team up in an epic battle

43
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.719
to save a loved one and also Christmas right after

44
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:26.159
this A Vampire's Holiday by Rob Fields Prologue, December twenty

45
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:32.240
Third perspective Madeline Donnery. First off, let me just say

46
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.159
this ain't no family friendly story. Having said that, I

47
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.240
only been wherever here is for a short period of

48
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.159
time late summer up till now don't seem like much.

49
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.000
I think it's because I spent most of my life

50
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.840
in a reality where one night I went to bed

51
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.240
and everything was hunky dory, and woke up the next

52
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.199
morning to the beginning of a vampire apocalypse. I was

53
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.280
only thirteen when I had had to abandon my life

54
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.759
as a teenager and become an adult. Fast. I fell

55
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.639
in with a clan who trained me to be a

56
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.639
superb fighter. Eventually I became the nemesis of Mayor Patrick Gunter,

57
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.800
one of the people responsible for starting the vampire apocalypse.

58
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.160
I'm thinking he didn't act alone. Not sure who else

59
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.480
helped him though. Anyway, I fought Gunter and kept proving

60
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.480
to him mortals could still win. Where only a few

61
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.759
of us remained. The day finally came when Gunter bit me.

62
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.879
I was royally screwed, because when you get bit by

63
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.079
a vampire, you're going to turn for sure. When I

64
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.240
returned to my clan, one of them discovered I had

65
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:49.480
no reflection. I massacred all of them. I massacred my

66
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.120
entire tribe by drinking them all for my first meal.

67
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.240
Patrick Gunter took so much from me, including my first

68
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.800
and only love, Carter Cross. Gunter hurt and broke me

69
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.600
more than any person should have to endure. In trying

70
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.639
to escape from him and his hordes of vampires at

71
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.959
the Strickfield Carnival, the Mayor himself was able to channel

72
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.720
lightning from a passing storm. I ran into the Funhouse

73
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.240
to try and escape. Gunter's lightning struck the funhouse repeatedly,

74
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.000
resulting in me being zapped myself. When I woke up,

75
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.000
I found myself in this new reality. After examining the

76
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.040
Funhouse and the Strickfield Carnival, I eventually found the reason

77
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.079
I ended up here. Turns out that funhouse had circuits

78
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.600
controlling a time portal. I'm reasoning in my universe, Gunter's

79
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.560
lightning struck those circuits and caused me to be transported

80
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.360
to a different universe. Here, there ain't no vampire apocalypse,

81
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.240
nor any sign of one. I ended up removing those

82
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.639
circuits from the funhouse and hiding them where only yours

83
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.680
truly knows. Ain't no way I'm letting Patrick Gunter come here.

84
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:12.920
This is my universe, mine, My home universe became a

85
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.160
dark dead world in just days because there were so

86
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.319
many vampires and not enough mortals to sustain them all.

87
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.399
Not true here, No Mayor Gunter literally sent me to Utopia.

88
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.480
It's just me here. I got all the mortals I'll

89
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.879
ever want or need for food. Also, I make sure

90
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.600
these blood bags don't come back like me, decapitating or

91
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.199
destroying the bodies after I feed. I'm the only vampire

92
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.360
of my kind here, and it's going to stay that way.

93
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:45.759
Oh.

94
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.839
I already found other vampires here too, who also made

95
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.920
very delicious meals. The vampires here got many differences compared

96
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.560
to me. For one, he don't turn after getting bit.

97
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.680
Vamps got a drink from the mortals. Then the mortals

98
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.279
got to drink from you. I haven't seen vampires here

99
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.600
drink from each other but I reason this does nothing.

100
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.319
Back home, you ain't supposed to drink from each other.

101
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.800
When I started doing it, I just wanted to die

102
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.639
and was hoping to. But my powers grew from drinking

103
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.360
from other vampires, and my powers keep growing drinking from

104
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.800
vampires here. But you know what, I actually found a

105
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.199
new home here in Strickfield, an outside area people are

106
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.680
scared of, called the backwoods. It didn't take long to

107
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.240
see why people are scared of it. There are actually

108
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.480
dead people walking around in there, like what you see

109
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:51.720
in scary movies. There's also these things called ghouls. Just

110
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.399
like I drink blood to live, they eat flesh for

111
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.680
the same reason. It's a few more days till Christmas,

112
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.399
and I am so bored. Okay, stay calm, Maddie. You've

113
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:09.439
only been here a short time. Remember this world is utopia.

114
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.120
But I ain't gonna have much fun just freely grabbing

115
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.160
these walking blood bags. Nah, I need an event. In fact,

116
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.600
I'm sitting here in my cabin. I took from some trapper.

117
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.639
I was already in downtown Village earlier this evening and

118
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.399
picked up some stuff. After grabbing a few bobbleheads for

119
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.919
my collection, I started from bobble Topia. I grabbed a

120
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.879
copy of the Strickfield Journal, which also confirms this ain't

121
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:41.919
my universe. Our paper was called the Strickfield Source. Anyway,

122
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.799
you get lots of great news out of here. Hopefully

123
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.320
I can find some fun and excitement. I want to

124
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:54.759
create some havoc that'll bring heroes wanting to fight me. Ooh,

125
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.559
now this is an idea. I'm reading an article about

126
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.320
some mirror woman who supposed to be coming home to

127
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:06.960
Strickfield today. Okay, so what right? Well, turns out Mirans

128
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.159
are just as high profile here as they used to

129
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.759
be in my universe. Aside from the aerial Mirran where

130
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.840
I come from, Mirans pretty much fell off the map

131
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.000
when the vampire apocalypse happened. Not here. I've been leaving

132
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.399
the backwoods here every night and flying into Strickfield to

133
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.440
hang out and get used to my new digs. That,

134
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:29.720
and I gotta eat.

135
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:31.320
Oh.

136
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.879
I can't believe I got all this delicious food walking

137
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.159
around whenever I want it. Like I said, Patrick Gunter,

138
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.399
you messed up big funny thing. I actually found another

139
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.440
you here. She ain't no vampire, and you live here

140
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.960
in the backwoods with me. But don't worry. I ain't

141
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.480
gonna come after you, at least not yet. And when

142
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.039
I do come after you, I won't turn you. For

143
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.279
all I know you might be just as much a

144
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:06.200
battie as my Mayor Gunter. Still, long as you're living

145
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:12.480
far enough away from me, I'll leave you be for now. Oh,

146
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.879
but this Mirran chick's really holding my attention. I'm gonna

147
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:21.279
go after her. Since Mirans are so high profile here,

148
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.960
I'm wondering what kind of negotiations her family will want

149
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.639
to do to get her back. M m mmm. Now I

150
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.320
ain't feeling so bored no more. I put my paper

151
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.399
down and leave the cabin. I leap into the air

152
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.600
and fly. Another difference between me and the vampires here.

153
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.559
We can both turn into bats, but I can fly

154
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.840
without changing. Today's paper says Annale's Miran will be coming

155
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.159
home to Strickfield today. Well, it's night now, so she's

156
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.000
got to already be in the mirror gated community. This

157
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.200
will give me a reason and to really see it

158
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.399
up close. Back home, the vampires laid waste to it

159
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.000
and made it an ey sore. It don't take long

160
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.279
to hover over Strickfield. I turn into a bat. At

161
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.440
this point, I can't believe how bright this village gets

162
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:23.240
around Christmas time. There's all kinds of decorations nearly everywhere, lights, animatronics,

163
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.399
fake snow, decorated trees. We never had this kind of

164
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:34.600
dedication back home. Anyway, I'm gliding into the mirrangated community now. Hmm.

165
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.600
Not much in the way of decorations. And here, guess

166
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.799
these mirans don't care for Christmas much.

167
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.720
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your

168
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.240
doors weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.

169
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.840
Looking around inside here, you'd swear this place was a

170
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.440
whole other world, the way the Mirans are getting it

171
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.159
all walled off. I fly to it and change back

172
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.080
into me again. Thanks to my night vision, I can

173
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.519
see everything easy, funny. For all they do to keep

174
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.320
non mirans out, they don't keep people like me in mind.

175
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.159
No wonder the vampires back home leveled this place. Oh,

176
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.879
but I'm loving how it looks. Believe it or not,

177
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.159
I could definitely live here. I drop and change into

178
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:29.320
a wolf. Now I'm walking around For all these mirans

179
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.799
who see me know, I'm just a doggie who got

180
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.000
loose from somebody's mansion, and I'm just out looking for

181
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.000
a place to squat ah, but my patience is gonna

182
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.679
be rewarded. Back home, I remember this used to be

183
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.600
Felicia Myron's place. She doesn't seem to be living here now,

184
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.879
but I'm seeing Analie's mirrors sitting out on the back patio.

185
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.159
There's a hot tub right there, and it looks like

186
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.639
she's throwing a party. Oh, this is gonna be such

187
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.320
a recipe for disaster. For one thing, I'm gonna be

188
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:07.559
taking Annale's mirran. Two, I'm I'm just craving what's on

189
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.279
the menu right now, which means three, it's time to

190
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.320
create something beautiful carnage. I change back to my human

191
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.000
form again and walk to these mortals when one of

192
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.159
Analie's girls sees me in points everybody's looking at me now.

193
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.679
I'm wearing a backless black leather top that shows off

194
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:32.120
my glorious gallery of tattoos, sleeves on both arms with

195
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.039
lots and lots of skulls, and the one on my

196
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.240
back that used to be the symbol of the clan

197
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.559
who trained me to fight the way they once did.

198
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.720
Remember they were my first meal after I turned I'm

199
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.399
also wearing matching pants and ankle high boots, plus a

200
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:53.799
choker around my neck. Can we help you? Analez Miron asks,

201
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:59.000
real snotlike I smirk. Yeah, I'm looking for Felicia Miron.

202
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.759
Is she home? I know she ain't, but I want

203
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.440
to hear him talk. Annaaliz starts laughing scornfully. Felicia doesn't

204
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.120
live here anymore. She wanted to move out of the

205
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.320
community so bad, so I bought our family mansion from her.

206
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.200
It's all mine now, just as well, since I never

207
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.440
really cared for my baby's sister anyway. Now the snob's

208
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.399
getting defensive. I know you aren't a mirn or a

209
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.879
guest here, so how about leaving before I call the police.

210
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.399
I'm laughing it up now. The police'll never make it

211
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.320
here in time, especially not after I'm through with all

212
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.360
of you. Now they're all laughing. To these snobs, I

213
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.879
look like a skinny, little weakling, even at standing five

214
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.200
foot ten. Call me vain, but I think I ain't

215
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.000
looking too bad for being all grown up. I'm not bustier,

216
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.120
sportin' fakies like these women here, but I'll gladly keep

217
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.360
what I got. Speaking of fakeies, there's show in their

218
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.840
nasty sides, so I'm gonna show them mine. I vamp

219
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.399
out and hear him screaming at my face and claws.

220
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.679
I've been eating normal people food since I got here.

221
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.799
Now I'm gonna have me some rich people food. A

222
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.159
few of them are trying to go inside, but I

223
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.080
appear and slide the door shut. A beefy guy slams

224
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.799
into the glass and crashes right through it. I grab

225
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.480
him and pull him back my way. His throat gets

226
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.519
slashed on a shard coming out. He's gagging and gurgling

227
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.519
before falling on his back. I quickly get down and

228
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.559
drink him up. I ain't got to bite him since

229
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.159
he's already cut open. It don't take long to finish

230
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.759
the first course. I'm back up and moving around till

231
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:51.279
I get them all, with the exception of Annales, of course,

232
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.840
I ain't gonna killer. She's backing up against the corner.

233
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.159
Don't know if she's shivering because she's wearing a bathing

234
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.039
suit in December, or or if she's afraid of me,

235
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.639
probably both. What do you want, Annalise stammers? I can

236
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.039
give you money, please. I'm laughing at her. Now, what

237
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.159
would I want with money? I can take whatever I want.

238
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.200
I could walk into a bank right now and leave

239
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.639
with as much money as i'd want, getting the picture yet,

240
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.360
your rich blood bag. I don't want your money. I

241
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.000
want you. I pull Annalise away from the corner and

242
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:38.679
Glamour invite me into your house. Analiz nods slowly. You

243
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.480
can come in, okay, So maybe I can't go everywhere

244
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.240
I want to go with the whole needing an invite

245
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.000
to get into private dwellings. Good thing. Glam gets the

246
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.919
job done. Anali's and me go into her mansion. Nice

247
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.840
place you got here, I compliment. Now, I want you

248
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.919
to put some warm clothes on. You're gonna need them

249
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.319
where we're going. Annalie nods once and works on obeying me.

250
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.359
While she's doing that, I got one more course to eat.

251
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.119
I open the basement door and find that snotty woman

252
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:17.880
who talked to me earlier. She screams and flees she

253
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.759
won't get far. I appear in front of her and

254
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.119
hug her to me. She cries out when I'm drinking

255
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.400
from her neck. Oh please please, no, no, stop. She's

256
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.839
whimpering while she's feeling herself dying in my arms. I

257
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.440
let go of her and watch her drop. Then I

258
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.000
drop to one knee so I can snap her neck

259
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.759
and keep turning to pull her head off. After dropping it,

260
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.319
I peer back upstairs and find Analise ready to go.

261
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.599
She's wearing warm winter clothes and a coat. I order

262
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.160
her back outside. When we're back at the patio, I

263
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.279
admire my latest horrific masterpiece. I got half a mind

264
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.920
to call the cops and see their reactions when they'd

265
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.400
see all these headless bodies, aside from the first one.

266
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:14.400
I drank up. Ooh, unlock and give me your phone.

267
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.920
I tell Annalise when she hands it to me, I

268
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.200
remember the number for the Strickfield Police Department and give

269
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.640
them a call after reporting the murders. I crush the

270
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.720
phone and drop it. Then I change into a bat

271
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.799
and snatch up Annales. From there, I'm flying my Christmas

272
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.680
present back to my cabin in the backwoods of Strickfield.

273
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.759
She ain't no bobblehead, but I'll make her the centerpiece

274
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:44.640
of my collection. I'm really hoping they're gonna be heroes

275
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.559
that'll come looking for Annales. I'm dying for both the

276
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.160
competition and a challenge.

277
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.039
You're not safe yet weekly Spooky will be right back.

278
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:08.680
Perspective. Felicia Miren Greetings, comic book nerds, it's me your

279
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.240
favorite Spider Girl. I'd like to say this is finally

280
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.880
my second issue, but not just yet. This is both

281
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.160
another team up and a bit of going back in time.

282
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.839
This story takes place a few months after my Origin

283
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:28.480
issue ended. However, we can pick up kinda where I

284
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:32.000
left off. I remember telling you I decided to take

285
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:35.559
a chance with my college guy that I met. Yeah,

286
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.799
he's the guy I found myself naturally drawn to when

287
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.359
I first met him. From there, we started having hours

288
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:47.200
and hours of sexy time during my ovulation periods, all

289
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.079
because I feel I want to be a mommy and

290
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.839
make babies. Eventually it got to be more than just

291
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:58.680
our hot monthly meetings between us. We finally became a couple.

292
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.720
In fact, right now, I'm letting my boyfriend hold me

293
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:06.200
to him while we're in bed. We've been quite intimate

294
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.799
since last night before going to sleep together. When we

295
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.759
woke up, we had shared some more intimacy together. It's

296
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.039
like the more we're around each other, the more we're

297
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.119
in bed together. Believe me, I ain't complaining in the

298
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:27.920
least funny thing. We still haven't fully exchanged names or digits.

299
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.119
I think we mutually agreed that this relationship of secrecy

300
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:36.240
we've got going on is a major turn on between us. Anyway,

301
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.640
we've been having so much intimacy. I don't even know

302
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.680
if I'm just craving my guy or if I'm on

303
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.759
my time of the month. Ever since my freak occurrence

304
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.960
that gave me spider powers, I started exhibiting traits like

305
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.319
a spider. In fact, I can even turn into a

306
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:58.119
giant version of one, complete with eight legs and two arms.

307
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.599
I also got the spider ovulation where I want a

308
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.960
mate and make babies. I'm gonna say I ain't feeling

309
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.279
my mommy vibes at the moment, since I'm not wanting

310
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.599
to make babies. Speaking of babies, my boyfriend's got a

311
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:16.079
little girl named Milly. I actually first met her on

312
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.240
Halloween Eve when I was a giant spider, then for

313
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.920
the first time as a human the very next day.

314
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.880
She's such a sweet little girl. What's more, she took

315
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.319
to me right away when her daddy told her he

316
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.279
was seeing me. Of course, I had to tell her

317
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.240
my first name since I know hers. In light of that,

318
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.240
my guy and me finally agreed to exchange first names only,

319
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:48.759
and his is Gabriel. Getting back to Milly, Gabriel actually

320
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.799
left her in my care a few times. The more

321
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.599
I'm around her, the more I'm just loving her, and

322
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.039
the more I'm getting too close to Gabriel. I mean,

323
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.400
you can't be in a relationship with somebody who has

324
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.119
kids and not accept them. Right lately, that's all I've

325
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.359
been thinking about. I'm eighteen, a senior and the cheerleading

326
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.319
captain at Strickfield High School. Gabriel's a senior at Strickfield

327
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:19.240
University and a Beta Theta Pie fraternity brother. He's also

328
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.839
got nine years on me. Every time he gives me

329
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.480
that lady killer smile, I always turn to butter. Is

330
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:31.799
our relationship based mostly on our intimacy, Well, you wouldn't

331
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.319
be wrong. Just the same, Gabriel trusts his little girl

332
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.839
around me. I can't believe I'm thinking about this when

333
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:43.279
I'm sharing intimacy with Gabriel yet again. When we finish,

334
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.480
I let him hold me to him close again. When

335
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.960
we look into each other's eyes, he gives me that

336
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:54.720
lady killer smile. We're pecking for a little bit before

337
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:59.880
we look at each other again. I love you, Gabriel

338
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:03.799
tells me for the first time ever. Oh my god,

339
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.559
do I tell him back? Am I really too young

340
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.200
to be thinking about being with Gabriel full time? The

341
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.000
problem is that's all I'm thinking about here. I am

342
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.079
a mutant spider girl in her last year of high school,

343
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.920
the cheerleading captain, and I'm already in a relationship with

344
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:27.240
a wonderful man who has a wonderful little girl. Yeah,

345
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:32.519
we've gone on dates and stuff, but ugh, guess even

346
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.759
us mutant spider girl's gotta make those tough decisions called life, right,

347
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.839
I look him in the face, a serious one. You

348
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.559
do realize what you said is dangerous? Right? What that?

349
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.079
I love you? Gabriel asks, in his suave voice, which

350
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.880
goes really well with his lady killer smile. I narrow

351
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.559
my eyes on him and put my finger on his

352
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:05.160
ripped chest. You do realize we don't fully know each other?

353
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.440
Right?

354
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.359
What if you find out something about me and hate

355
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.880
me for it? He chuckles? What could I hate about you?

356
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.119
I shrug. I don't know, But what if you did?

357
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:24.559
I mean it? Gabriel saying you love me is very dangerous.

358
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.319
Now I give him my sweet smile, which he loves

359
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:31.519
from me. Oh, I get it. You're telling me you

360
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.039
love me, and knowing how much I care about Millie,

361
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.839
to further entangle me with you. Right, damn it, there's

362
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:44.079
that lady killer smile again. You ain't leaving, babe, You're

363
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:49.039
still here in my life. I raise my eyebrow. Seriously,

364
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.359
I'm that good in bed to where you tell me

365
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.720
you love me. Before he can answer, we hear knocking

366
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.799
on the back door. We're at his parents' house. We've

367
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.400
been and kind of living here together while he's house

368
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.880
sitting for them over the holidays. Little Milly was out

369
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.319
for a sleepover with her friends last night. Seems like

370
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:13.480
she's home. Gabriel gets off me and we put some

371
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:17.000
clothes on. We go downstairs where he lets Milly in.

372
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.319
He quickly steps outside to wave at the woman who

373
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:24.160
dropped her off. Milly immediately comes right to me so

374
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.480
I can lower myself and hug her tight for a

375
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.839
little girl, she can hug just as tight as me.

376
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.480
I stand up and hold her while waiting for Gabriel

377
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.279
to come back in. When he sees me holding Milly

378
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.480
and both of us are looking at him. He's smiling again.

379
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:44.279
I think now I can see why Gabriel's interested in

380
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.599
me like he is. We've been intimate many times. He

381
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.960
knows Milly and I love each other, and thinking he's

382
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.480
seeing me as a potential mommy for Milly. To be honest,

383
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:01.480
I'd love being a mother to her. Then the phone rings.

384
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.039
Gabriel answers, it sounds like he's talking to his parents.

385
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.759
I'm thinking he's going to be on the phone for

386
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.880
a little bit, so I ask Milly if she wants

387
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:17.240
to watch TV. Yeah, she exclaims quickly. I bring her

388
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.799
into the living room and turn on the set. We're

389
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.240
watching some classic cartoons for a little bit. When I

390
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.799
see the paper carriers just dropped off the Strickfield Journal,

391
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.240
I tell Milly I'm gonna get the paper and head

392
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:34.319
outside to bring it in. After closing the door, I

393
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:38.559
gasp and nearly drop the paper. That's when Gabriel gets

394
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:42.039
off the phone and sees me full the show. What's wrong?

395
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:48.359
The front page says massacre at Mirn Mansion. The pit

396
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.559
of my stomach hurts when I read the article. My

397
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.000
older sister Annalie's bought the mansion from me when I

398
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:58.279
didn't want to live there anymore. It just kept getting

399
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:02.160
too rough for me to stay there after our parents died. Also,

400
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:05.680
I never really got along with Analie's much, but I

401
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.359
still love her for the fact that she's my sister.

402
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:13.960
According to the article, the police found many decapitated bodies,

403
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.440
all drained of blood. It also says Annalise is missing.

404
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:21.880
I've got to find her.

405
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.880
You're not safe yet, weekly spooky will be right back.

406
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.119
Suddenly, I cry out when I feel myself being held

407
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.880
against Gabriel. Of course, my spider instinct didn't go off.

408
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.799
Gabriel's no danger to me. I look up at him

409
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.799
and bite my lower lip. I'm afraid. I gotta go

410
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.000
for right now. I tell him. He sees I'm spooked

411
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.559
you okay, baby, I nod quickly, Yeah, something's come up.

412
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.680
Then I give him my sweet smile again to tell

413
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:06.160
him it's not him. I'll be back later. Okay. He

414
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:09.000
doesn't want to let go of me, but he eventually does.

415
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:13.039
I go back upstairs and get fully dressed. After I

416
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.960
come back down, I go say goodbye to Milly and

417
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:20.160
promise her I'll be back. Milly sad and hugs me

418
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:24.480
tight again. Seriously, am I ready to commit to being

419
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.880
part of a family unit. When Milly and I let

420
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:31.319
go of each other, I promise her and Gabriel again

421
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.079
that I'll be back. I'm leaving my stuff here, so

422
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:39.319
that should tell Gabriel I'll be keeping my promise. I

423
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.519
leave the house and no, I got to go into

424
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:46.839
the mere engated community to begin my own investigation. Things

425
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:55.240
are gonna start getting scary from here. Comic book Nerds Perspective.

426
00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.759
Aileen Donnerly Bells and I are training together. We've been

427
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.920
training more and more since our run in with those

428
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.640
freaks back when we went to her home in Ravenhenge

429
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:11.000
for Thanksgiving last month. I still can't believe Bells grew

430
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.720
up there and that that's the tabon homeland. Still, I

431
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.839
nearly died last month. I know I don't want to

432
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.440
be in that predicament ever again. Also, those pills Bells

433
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.559
made for me to help me with my sickness keep working.

434
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.920
I don't know what she made them from, but she

435
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.359
hasn't had to make any of the new medicines she

436
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.599
brought back from Ravenhenge yet. I keep taking the pills

437
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.880
like Bells told me, and I'm still feeling fantastic. I'm

438
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.599
actually able to keep the pace with Bells. As she's

439
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:47.799
training me. She puts her hand on my shoulder. Okay,

440
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.079
any ready to show me what you learned. Let's do it, Bells.

441
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.279
I tell her, we assume our fighting stances. When she

442
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.839
says go, we spar with each other again. Good, bell says,

443
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.799
very good, keep it up. Yes, Bell's has learned many

444
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.480
different fighting styles during her time as both a tabon

445
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.480
and a master vampire. Right now, she's teaching me a

446
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.960
little bit of everything, mostly the stuff she learned as

447
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.559
a tabon growing up. I've been matching her more and

448
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:24.119
more as she's attacking. That's the exercise. She attacks and

449
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.799
I defend. We keep going for several minutes. Whatever that

450
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.359
stuff is Bells gave me is amazing. I feel like

451
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:37.599
I've got so much energy. Finally she stops attacking. Remember,

452
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.759
iini what I'm teaching you. You do not use on

453
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.759
people at school, even when they upset you. You could

454
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.359
kill an innocent if you let your anger get the

455
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.720
better of you. I nod, I know, Bell's. Then I

456
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.200
tighten my jaw and look at the house. You just

457
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:58.880
know how much I hate Martin. Bell's puts her hand

458
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:03.000
on my shoulder. He's not worth it. I only agreed

459
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.599
to teach you because you're my partner. I mean, it's

460
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.079
great you make all our toys for when we go out,

461
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.079
but you got to know how to fight too. I

462
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.839
know we always stick close, but what if I'm not

463
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.839
there to help you? Like last month, I remind her

464
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.920
as we go inside, and like the Thanksgiving before, Bell's

465
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.359
points at me, Ah, but you did handle yourself a

466
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.720
year ago without me. Face it. Iini, you're tougher than

467
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:36.000
you look. But if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't

468
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.119
even be here right now. I further remind her. Then

469
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.200
Bell's hugs me, I hug her back. We love each other,

470
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.319
but not romantically. Bell's and I have been with each

471
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:52.640
other through a lot. We come apart fast when mean

472
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.319
Martin comes in, my older brother, who I hate so much.

473
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:00.519
When he sees me, I know we want to call

474
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.119
me a little snippet. Martin's always made it clear that

475
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.839
he never wanted me to him. I was always the

476
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.279
little sister who kept getting in the way. I kept

477
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.480
trying to win him over growing up. To be fair,

478
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:19.160
sometimes he would appreciate me. All that went out the

479
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.839
window when his actions with Courtney Rickman came back to

480
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.039
haunt me. I didn't take advantage of Courtney when she

481
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.640
was drunk at a party, but when she wanted payback.

482
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:35.079
Long story short, Courtney got her payback when her brother

483
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:40.759
brutally assaulted me and gave me aids. My weakened immune

484
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:43.160
system couldn't handle a lot of the drugs I was

485
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:47.200
being given. Really, if it wasn't for Bells coming into

486
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.519
my life and using her knowledge her Grams taught her,

487
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.039
I really don't think i'd be here right now. I

488
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.920
have hated Martin ever since that night. To be fair,

489
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:02.119
He's tried to do right by me, but I can

490
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.119
still tell he'd rather be out of his life for good.

491
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.279
The reason he doesn't verbally attack me is because Bell's

492
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.559
told him if he ever messed with me again that

493
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:16.920
she would mess with him. Martin throws his arms up

494
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.559
and just storms right back out the door. That is

495
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:24.599
the kind of tension going on here. Martin wants Bells

496
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:28.640
as his girlfriend, but he hates me. Bell's and I

497
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:33.799
both hate him. I turned to Bell's I really don't

498
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:37.799
know how much more I can tolerate him. Bells walks

499
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.640
to the door and picks up the Strickfield journal Martin

500
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.839
dropped before leaving. Then she turns back to me. I

501
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.799
know this is your house. I nee, you said you

502
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:52.400
were born here. Again, if you want to leave here,

503
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.880
we'll leave together. I sigh. I really don't want to

504
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.119
leave this house, but I'm seriously considering letting Martin have

505
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:08.400
it all. Like you once said, anywhere we go is home. Yes,

506
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:13.119
I did. Then she looks at the paper. Looks like

507
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:16.800
we got something, iini. Bells reads for a little bit

508
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:20.719
before handing the paper to me. I gasp after reading

509
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:25.679
about the bodies. Then I look up. It doesn't say

510
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:31.280
Annalise Mirin was among them. Nope. Bells agrees we'll have

511
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:33.960
to go into the gated community when it's dark and

512
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:39.000
investigate maybe the hospital Morgue too. I give Bells that

513
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:45.400
icky look. Ah gross, She smirks a little. Sorry. Iine,

514
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.800
I know you hate the Morgue, but it always smells

515
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.440
so gross, Bells, I tell her. Then Bells and I

516
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.840
have our little stare off before I agree we might

517
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.760
have to go there. Can we go go there first?

518
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.199
And just get it out of the way. Bell's laughs. Sure,

519
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.159
better go make sure the toys are tuned up and

520
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.119
ready to go. I already did. I even upgraded the

521
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:15.320
battery in the sun lamp. I say, I know it's

522
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:18.239
still not perfect, but I can get it to work better.

523
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:22.320
I know it. You know I trust you, she assures me,

524
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:25.239
even when you puke your guts up at the morgue.

525
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:28.599
When she laughs, I grab a pillow and throw it

526
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:32.559
at her. Shut up Bells. Then I growl a little.

527
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:36.880
I hate going to the Strickfield General Hospital morgue, but

528
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.840
oftentimes Bells is right about us sneaking around down there.

529
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.480
I get the feeling she's going to be right about

530
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.960
us going down there again tonight.

531
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.679
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

532
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:02.840
Perspective bella table one. Ainie and me use our same

533
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.079
plan for getting into the hospital morgue. I disguise myself

534
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:10.639
to get into the hospital and get downstairs. Since the

535
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.639
cameras can't see me, I can get into the morgue

536
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:16.960
and open a window to let Aini in if someone's

537
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.440
in there. I use GLAMs so Ainy and me can

538
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.000
do our business and get out of there. Funny thing,

539
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.440
they still never put cameras down here. That's good. In

540
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:31.679
Eine's case. It ain't long before she's making weird faces.

541
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:35.199
She's probably gonna puke, but at least she's a trooper.

542
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:41.639
Aine opens a drawer. You found one, she mutters in

543
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:45.440
her mousey voice. Ainie, and I pull the drawer out.

544
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:49.559
It's not the bodies themselves that get to Eine, but

545
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.639
the smell of the chemicals. Anyway, I'm looking around the

546
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.559
neck area carefully. These heads were ripped off Bells. Heine says.

547
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:04.079
You can see the necks broken here. Then I put

548
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.960
my hand to my chin. I love how you easily

549
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.039
diagnose the bodies we look at, but this really bothers me,

550
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.840
not you, AINI. I mean, why rip the heads off?

551
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:21.159
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just chop them clean? Cut?

552
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.519
And all? Aini pulls out her phone and brings up

553
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.559
today's paper. After reading the article again, she says, the

554
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:33.599
bodies were all drained of blood. Bells, you're a vampire,

555
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:38.639
any ideas, I grown her way, No, and that's what's

556
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.559
really bothering me. Vampires normally drink their victims, and that's it.

557
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:48.199
They usually don't rip the heads off. It just don't

558
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:52.119
make sense. Aside from being friends of Annalie's mirror, there's

559
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:57.199
nothing saying what the motive is. Aine's typing away on

560
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.280
her new smartphone. After she got it, she took it

561
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.400
apart and modified it so she'd have access to all

562
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:06.920
kinds of stuff to help us. She keeps fighting the

563
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.639
urge to gag. There are other newspaper articles from around

564
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:16.639
the area about similar bodies. We weren't investigating at that time,

565
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.920
though I'm sure those bodies are long since buried by now.

566
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.599
At least Aini and me both agree it's a vampire.

567
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:27.400
I pick up the head and take a closer look

568
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:33.559
at the neck. Right here, Aini definitely fangs. We look

569
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:37.880
over the body further and see there's nothing else aside

570
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.320
from indications of a struggle. After Aini snapped some picks

571
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:46.599
on her phone, we put the body away. We done?

572
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.960
She asks, yeah, I reply, oh, Aini, if you're not

573
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:58.280
gonna eat that greasy pork sandwich. Ah Aini puts her

574
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.480
hands to her mouth and raise to the nearby restroom

575
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:05.239
to puke. After flushing the toilet, she comes out and

576
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:09.360
slaps my arm. I hate you. Then I open the

577
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:13.440
fridge and hand her a coke, which she drinks gratefully

578
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:17.639
before we leave. All right, let's head to the Mirror

579
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:21.840
gated community, I suggest AINI waits for me to grab

580
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.599
hold of her so I can leap us both over

581
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:36.559
to the Miran's compound perspective Felicia Mirn. Thanks to my

582
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:40.360
spider instinct, I can move around inside the gated community

583
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:44.239
without anybody seeing me. I'm in human form at the moment,

584
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:48.840
at least. It gets dark early in December. There's no

585
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.719
cops around, but plenty of yellow tape and chalk outlines

586
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:56.159
all over the back patio. This is the kind of

587
00:39:56.199 --> 00:40:00.159
stuff you see in horror movies. Comic book nerds can't

588
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.440
believe more murders happened here. I left this house behind

589
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.760
a few weeks ago. Believe me. I wanted to keep

590
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:12.800
living here after my parents died, but it was getting

591
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:16.360
to be too much on me emotionally. That's how close

592
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.920
I was to my parents. Unlike Annalise. As soon as

593
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:23.760
she met her ideal man and ran away with him,

594
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.920
she literally turned her back on our immediate family. I'm

595
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.599
sure you've heard the mir and ways mentioned many times.

596
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:35.760
I myself know the mir and ways, but Analies really

597
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.760
used them to capitalize on opportunities, which was how she

598
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:43.280
got to be so rich all on her own, probably

599
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:47.639
why our parents left everything to me. Still, when she

600
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.360
offered to buy this mansion from me, I accepted. Annalize

601
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:56.519
definitely had the patio remodeled. Mom and Dad never put

602
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.119
a hot tub out here. Last I checked, there was

603
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:03.880
one in the basement Jim for after workouts. I never

604
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:08.519
asked Anales why she wanted the mansion, but I didn't

605
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:12.800
really care. I took her offer and left. She was

606
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.719
even cruel and told me once I finished moving out

607
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.800
to never come back. That really hurt. We almost got

608
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.079
into a physical fight when she wanted to kill my

609
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:29.599
pet Tarantula Creepy. Nevertheless, I still love my sister because

610
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:33.159
of the fact that she's my blood. That and I'm

611
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.440
also doing this because I want to do good with

612
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:41.159
these powers. Seeing little Millie reminds me about that every day.

613
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:46.320
And furthermore, I'm still looking for the Blue Ribbons, the

614
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:50.119
all female secret society who made that New Life compound

615
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.199
that was responsible for much of the tragedy here on

616
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:59.000
that Thanksgiving night and contributed to me gaining my spider powers.

617
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:03.199
Looking at the scene, however, this doesn't have the blue

618
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:07.480
ribbons written on it. I was already at the hospital morgue.

619
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:11.199
While I'm sure multiple murders aren't beneath the blue ribbons,

620
00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:18.480
they're more about world domination. No someone else specifically targeted Annalies.

621
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.800
Not finding anything on the patio, I go in the

622
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:26.079
house for the first time since I finished moving out.

623
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:30.960
Looks like Anales had more rooms remodeled. Then I see

624
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.119
more yellow tape and chalk lines. Like on the patio.

625
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:40.360
Everybody here got an accompanying circle for their head except

626
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:44.760
for one. The outline by the broken out patio glass

627
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:49.079
didn't have an additional chalk circle. I did find one

628
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.960
of the bodies at the morgue with its heads still attached.

629
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.800
Then I remember the Strickfield journal saying all of the

630
00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:01.039
bodies had no blood. Aside from me, the only other

631
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.480
blood drinkers I know are vampires. I had a few

632
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:09.360
run ins with vampires since gaining my spider powers. I

633
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.320
drink blood, but I try not drinking straight from other people,

634
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:16.880
which is why I buy animal blood from Strickfield meats.

635
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.360
I just need blood in general doesn't have to be human.

636
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:26.119
But what kind of vampire drinks blood and then rips

637
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:27.639
the heads off the bodies?

638
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:33.079
U sh it was only the wind. You are safe,

639
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:35.559
weekly spooky, We'll be right back.

640
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.519
I gotta do more research on vampires. I only just

641
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:44.639
learned they were real, and I don't know the exact

642
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:48.199
rules for them. Sure, I've seen lots of movies, but

643
00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:52.280
the rules are almost always different. I'm gonna say the

644
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:56.519
vampire that was here drank the blood, then rip the

645
00:43:56.599 --> 00:44:00.599
heads off so they wouldn't come back. The only body

646
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:03.280
in the morgue that still had its head also had

647
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:08.719
its throat slashed. The article said by Glass the vampire

648
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.719
didn't bite him then, so there was no need to

649
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:15.480
rip the head off. Okay, I know this sounds insane,

650
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:18.840
but it's what I got at the moment. Also, I

651
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:22.360
don't know why the vampire took my only sister and

652
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.360
killed everybody else. Then my spider instinct tells me I'm

653
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.239
no longer alone in my old house. I hear voices

654
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.079
and leap to the other side of the room to

655
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:36.559
get out of sight. I quietly opened the window in

656
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:39.159
front of me in case I got a bail I'm

657
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:43.119
wearing a hoodie, so whoever these people are won't easily

658
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:47.679
see my face. Then they come into the room. What

659
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:53.519
Aileen Donnerly and Bella tabon what are they doing here?

660
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.400
Their fellow students and cheerleaders at Strickfield High. Aileen Donnerly

661
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:02.199
was also a big help in my solving the puzzle

662
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.719
of what happened with my parents and how I got

663
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:10.239
my powers. Now I am intrigued. We haven't been out

664
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.119
back yet, heinie, But the vampire's definitely been here, Bella

665
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:20.000
tells Aileen. Don't vampires have to be invited first, Aileen asks,

666
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:24.760
Bella thinks about it. Ah, if I needed an invite

667
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:27.519
into your house, heine, all I'd have to do is

668
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.280
glam you, assuming you're in here and looking outside at me,

669
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:36.039
then I'd order you to invite me in. Aileen gulps,

670
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:40.159
I'll have to remember that. Yeah, it's very easy to

671
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:44.880
fall into that particular trap. Bella says, I'm thinking that's

672
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:48.280
how the vampire got in here. Analise Miron is at

673
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.880
least one of the owners here. The article just said

674
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:56.760
Analise Miron owns this house Belle's. Aileen tells her are

675
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:02.440
they investigating Annalise. Why I'm watching them more now and

676
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:06.400
keeping my breathing quiet so they don't hear me. I

677
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:10.880
see they both have contraptions strapped to their wrists. They

678
00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:17.360
are investigating Annalees again. Why also they seem to know

679
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:21.960
a lot about vampires. Whoever did this sure made a mess.

680
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:29.400
Aileen observes so much blood. Then Bella sneers, you sure

681
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:34.639
you're finished with that greasy pork sandwich? Iiny Aleen tightens

682
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:38.760
her jaw and points at Bell's shut up. She lowers

683
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.119
her hand blood like, this doesn't make me puke. Just

684
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:47.119
those chemicals in the hospital Morgue. Bella pats Aileen's shoulder.

685
00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:49.679
Just wanted to make sure you got it out of

686
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:54.239
your system. Aileen shoves Bella a little. Yeah, I got

687
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:59.039
your greasy pork sandwich. Bella faces her. I can always

688
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.440
get your twin cousin Madeline to come out with me.

689
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.960
She never gets sick in the hospital Morgue. Aileen growls

690
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:10.800
a little, and then they get serious. Seriously, who are

691
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.039
these two? I wait for them to finish up in here.

692
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:17.320
They also say something about how puzzling it is for

693
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.440
a vampire to rip the heads off their victims. You

694
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:25.159
think the vampire didn't want to sire others, Aileen asks.

695
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.960
Bella looks puzzled. Every vampire I've ever encountered has been

696
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.159
the same, aside from being masters or not, siring is

697
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:38.760
a one for one exchange. The vampire drinks from you,

698
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:43.119
then you drink from the vampire. But from there you

699
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.559
can come back two or three nights later. A simple

700
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:50.079
bite just makes the victim bleed, it never turns them.

701
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.800
The rules are the same for both masters and garden

702
00:47:53.880 --> 00:48:00.480
variety vampires. Not you, bells Aleen counters You're a master vampire,

703
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.880
but you're the only one who has their own set

704
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.559
of rules. This is true, iine, but even if I

705
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:11.159
could sire people, I wouldn't know how. Also, having tried

706
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:15.039
to drink blood just after I became a vampire wasn't

707
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:18.400
a good experience. I mean I literally dropped to my

708
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:22.119
knees and puked. That was when I discovered I needed

709
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:27.199
to eat lots of food instead, like greasy pork sandwiches,

710
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:32.199
alien cracks. I had to keep from laughing. Then Bella

711
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:36.199
laughs a little to herself. Okay, I guess you get

712
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:40.679
that one she gets serious. It still bites me though.

713
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:44.960
Ripping the heads off your victims ain't normal vampire behavior. Iinie,

714
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:51.199
let's go look outside. Then Bella sniffs we ain't alone,

715
00:48:51.320 --> 00:49:01.880
and then she looks my way perspective, Bella habond. It

716
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:05.639
smells like someone who's been just working out. When I

717
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:09.639
start moving to where I smell the person, someone quickly

718
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:13.159
leaps through an open window. I can easily tell it's

719
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.480
a girl. I couldn't see her face because of the hoodie,

720
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:21.320
but she was definitely wearing sweatpants and sandals. I dive

721
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:24.480
right through the window and sniff for her again. Then

722
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:27.519
I turn and catch iiny when she's diving through the window.

723
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.039
After I set her on her feet, she lowers her

724
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:34.519
night vision goggles. Then we split up to look around

725
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.599
the yard. It's times like this when I wish I

726
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:41.840
could transmorph into a bat or even fly. I pick

727
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.760
up that sweaty workout girl's scent again. Then I hear

728
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:50.360
Ainy in my earpiece. She's on the roof. Bells, how'd

729
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:54.000
she get on the roof so fast? If she's our vampire.

730
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:59.159
I leap up onto the roof myself. The girl's squatting down.

731
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:02.039
She's go her sandals off and his barefoot with a

732
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:05.599
hand pressed to a roof tile. I'm leaping at her now,

733
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:10.119
I'll catch her since she won't see me. Suddenly, the

734
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:13.880
girl turns out of nowhere and shoves me hard, making

735
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:19.400
me fly right off the roof and hitting the glass below. Okay,

736
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:24.960
quite possibly our vampire. Not to mention, she just made

737
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:29.519
me mad. I leap onto the roof again, but she's

738
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.239
nowhere to be found. She's in the garage. Bells, Iini

739
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:38.400
communicates to me. She just scaled down the wall and

740
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.679
into the window. Can vampires do that? Now? I hear

741
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:47.639
a crash, bells help. I quickly leap off the roof

742
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:51.880
and land where I hear Iini. She's secured the siding

743
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:57.639
by webs. Aine's struggling to break free, but these webs

744
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.599
have her wrists and ankles stuck fast. When I break

745
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:06.280
the webs, they're sticking to my own fingers. You okay, Iiny,

746
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:10.559
I ask? She nods. By the time I saw her,

747
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.400
she was right on me. Then I ended up like

748
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:18.559
how you found me? Vamps can't spin webs, right, No,

749
00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:23.280
they don't turn into spiders, I assure her, and before

750
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:27.159
I realize what's happening. Next, someone grabs me from behind

751
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:29.960
and slams me hard right through the wall and into

752
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:33.239
the garage. I fly right through the back window and

753
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:37.159
inside of a jeep. All right, whoever did that just

754
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:41.199
wrote a check they can't cash. Then I hear Ainy screaming.

755
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:44.119
I kick the door off the jeep and come out.

756
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:48.079
That's when I see the two glowing red eyes of

757
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:53.039
the shadowy figure holding iiny. About time somebody got here

758
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:58.159
to investigate my artwork. The vampire calls out in kind

759
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:02.599
of a mousey voice. Now I finally get to have

760
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:03.320
some fun.

761
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:09.599
More scares to come weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.

762
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:21.039
Perspective Madeline Donnerly. Yes, wherever here is has heroes too,

763
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.519
and here's two of them. The one I'm holding onto

764
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:28.320
right now is definitely nostalgia for me, and the other

765
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:33.199
one looks like I'm gonna get my competition. The girl

766
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:36.880
I took suddenly throws something in my face. I scream

767
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:41.519
and let her go. That little girl through garlic essence

768
00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:45.840
in my face. It burns, but it don't take long

769
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:49.480
for me to heal up fast. Now Aileen's looking right

770
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:54.800
at me through her are those night vision goggles. Then

771
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:59.599
she gasps, are you seeing this? Bells? The other girl

772
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:03.280
come and stands with her. This can't be right, Heinie,

773
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:07.719
No way it can be her. Now I'm laughing at him.

774
00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:13.519
Oh do I look maybe sound like somebody you know?

775
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:19.280
Aileen shakes her head. You can't be Madeleine. I hold

776
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:23.920
up my arms out to my sides. Tada looks like

777
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:28.239
you win the prize, Aileen. Then the one called Bell's

778
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:32.599
shakes her head. It ain't her, Ainie. Maybe she looks

779
00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:36.199
and talks like Maddie, but this ain't her. It's not

780
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:40.559
her scent. Believe me, I know Maddie's sent She's been

781
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.199
around us enough times. I fold my arms in front

782
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:48.679
of me. Now I'm just insulted. Here I unfold them

783
00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:53.519
and raise my finger. I am Madeline Donnerly. No mistake there.

784
00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:59.840
I just ain't your Madeline Donnerly. Now that I'm seeing you, Aileen,

785
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:03.960
and hear in about another me here, Well, I guess

786
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.679
now I know I'm in another universe. Then I look up.

787
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:12.960
You really messed up sending me here, Patrick Gunter. Now

788
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:17.159
I'm looking at him again, Come to look at my masterpiece?

789
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:20.760
Did you maybe to you? I made a real mess here,

790
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:25.719
But this is art. I just love carnage almost as

791
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.400
much as I love blood. Too bad the piggies had

792
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:33.039
to wreck it. Oh well, but at least you two

793
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:38.760
are here. Now, what are you? Aileen yells? Come on,

794
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:42.639
you both gotta know what I am? I returned. I mean,

795
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:46.239
you just threw garlic in my face. Right, I'm a

796
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:51.119
vampire that came from from a whole other universe where

797
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:56.559
my earth's nearly all vampires. And now I'm here in yours.

798
00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:02.599
I vamp out and extend my claws, and now I

799
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:07.920
wanna play. Then I gasp. Oh you want to know

800
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.639
how else I know? I'm in a parallel universe. Aileen,

801
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:17.559
I laugh, cause I drank you up myself. I'm thinking

802
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:22.760
maybe I'll drink you again. I never liked you. Suddenly,

803
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:26.199
the one called Bell's leaps right at me and knocks

804
00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:29.239
me on my keyster. Then she's picking me up and

805
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:33.079
slamming me into an suv that's parked outside. But I'm

806
00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:36.440
quickly fighting back and showing this other vamp I ain't

807
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:39.840
no slouch. Turns out I can match her for strength.

808
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:44.239
I'm also showing her I got moves too. Suddenly, I'm

809
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:47.840
dropping and moving in between Bell's legs. When I come up,

810
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:50.639
I jump right on her back, and before she can

811
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:53.840
get me off her, I'm sinking my fangs right into

812
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:58.920
her neck. Are you serious, Bells cries out, you just

813
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:04.000
killed yourself. I'm really tightening my arms around Bells now.

814
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:08.639
I drink from several vampires back in my universe, but

815
00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:14.519
this Bell's vampire is so so yummy. I can't stop

816
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:18.480
drinking from her. Then she finally breaks free and knocks

817
00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:22.039
me away. I go fly into the grass and slide

818
00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:25.679
to the patio. I stand up and lick my lips.

819
00:56:26.280 --> 00:56:30.559
Now Bells is coming at me. Seriously, you little psycho.

820
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:35.880
You're gonna drink from me, Bells yells. Now, I'm smiling.

821
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:39.760
I want more. I don't know what kind of stock

822
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:46.880
you got, but I want seconds, Bells. This Mattie isn't

823
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:54.239
melting away, A Leen stammers, I'm laughing again. Melt away, oh,

824
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.360
a Leen, I've been drinking from other vampires back in

825
00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:01.000
my universe. You ain't supposed to, but that's what made

826
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:08.039
me powerful. Then I gasp, Wow, you got some great stock, Bells,

827
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:11.440
because I'm getting a real fix off of you right now.

828
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.679
Now I'm falling to my knees and holding myself. I'm

829
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:19.880
thinking they're expecting me to melt like Aileen said, but

830
00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:27.480
I don't melt. In fact, I'm feeling feeling more powerful.

831
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:32.320
I'm moaning and groaning as I'm feeling sensations i've never

832
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.960
felt before. It's like getting some kind of supercharge. Now,

833
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:41.840
when I'm back on my feet, I'm looking right at Bells.

834
00:57:42.519 --> 00:57:48.079
I want seconds. I'm shrieking with delight. When I leap

835
00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:51.519
at her, she draws back to knock me away. When

836
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:54.559
she goes to punch me, I quickly grab her arm

837
00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:58.280
and swing around to attach myself to her. Again. She

838
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:01.800
cries out when I sink mys into her neck yet again.

839
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:08.159
My body's really coming to life now. Mm yes, I

840
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:12.599
moan hard. I can't get her off me. Bell's cries

841
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:18.119
run itiny, but Aileen don't run away. This time. She's

842
00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:23.159
throwing holy water in my face, but I ain't letting go. Finally,

843
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.360
Bell's falls on her side. Aileen tries holding a holy

844
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:33.320
wafer to my forehead, and it don't do nothing. Next

845
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:38.960
she's using a crucifix and even that don't work. Now

846
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:43.519
I finally do stop drinking and stand up. I look

847
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:49.480
at Aileen licking my lips and smiling. Your friend, here's

848
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:53.719
some sort of super vampire. I look down at Bell's

849
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:57.920
I drank from you. Now I got your powers too,

850
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:03.840
and apparently you ain't affected by vampire weaknesses. Oh man,

851
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:06.800
things are about to get real fun.

852
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:13.920
A sh it was only the wind. You're safe, weekly spooky,

853
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:15.039
We'll be right back.

854
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:21.679
Suddenly someone else hits me and sends me flying away.

855
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.159
It ain't long before I'm back on my feet again.

856
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:30.480
Then I'm shrieking again when I'm seeing a giant spider.

857
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:34.480
I guess Aileen hasn't ever seen that before either, because

858
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:39.000
she's freaking out too. The giant spider lady got eight

859
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:44.079
legs and two arms, with gray fur claw like hands,

860
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:47.800
four eyes, two antennas, and wearing a T shirt torn

861
00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:50.960
down the middle enough to show she's got a chest.

862
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:58.199
Now she's pointing at me. Where's Annalie's mirror? Vampire? Now

863
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:03.280
I'm laughing. Why she's somewhere where you ain't willing to go.

864
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:07.719
I got her safely kept away in the backwoods of Strickfield,

865
01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:11.000
and if you want her, you gotta come and get her.

866
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:17.079
Why are you doing this, The spider demands, I really

867
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:23.000
love how feeling evil feels. Why not? Then I head

868
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:26.760
up into the air, Come and get her. But I'm

869
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:30.840
suddenly stopped when I'm tangled up in a sticky web.

870
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:41.159
Now the spider's pulling me back. Perspective Aileen Donnerly. I

871
01:00:41.199 --> 01:00:44.880
can't believe that giant spider woman is real. There have

872
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:48.760
been pictures of her in the Strickfield Journal. I almost

873
01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:54.119
wondered if our paper was going tabloid. No, this is Strickfield, Ohio.

874
01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:59.199
Vampires exist here. Then again, I just found out last

875
01:00:59.239 --> 01:01:04.159
month that other monsters exist outside of Strickfield. The more

876
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.800
I'm looking at this giant spider, the more I'm thinking

877
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:13.039
she's on our side. Get back here, the spider tells

878
01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:17.119
vamp Maddie. Then she shoots more webs to entangle her.

879
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:22.280
You ain't getting me, Vamp Maddie cries out. I quickly

880
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:25.199
move up to her. You either stop or I'll hit

881
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:28.719
you with this UV light. But this Maddie shows how

882
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:32.519
wickedly smart she is by changing into mist to escape

883
01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:36.639
from those sticky webs. She becomes human again in lands.

884
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:41.559
She gotta do better than that. Charlotte vamp Maddie sneers

885
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:45.159
at the spider woman. Then I hear a groan and

886
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:48.679
look to see Bells is still moving. I quickly go

887
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:53.639
to her. Bells. Bells, are you okay? I shriek two

888
01:01:53.679 --> 01:02:01.159
weak Bells tells me so hot. I quickly tue Bell's forehead.

889
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:05.840
Then turned to the spider. She's burning up. I can

890
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:09.079
tell the spider wants to go after vamp Maddie. She

891
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:13.559
laughs scornfully at the spider. Guess you gotta choose. You

892
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.280
want Annale's mirror, and you gotta come to the backwoods

893
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:20.559
of Strickfield. I'm thinking you should just let me have her. Awe,

894
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.960
I made your vampire sick. The mirror woman or your

895
01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:30.400
vampire better decide. Vamp Maddie changes into a bat again

896
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:34.840
and flies away. Then I noticed the sun's going to

897
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:38.800
come up soon. Bell's and I pulled another near all nighter.

898
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:43.639
Then the spider surprises me by lifting Bells into her

899
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:48.480
humanoid arms. Where are we taking her, she asks me.

900
01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:53.000
I almost struggle to think where we could go. Then

901
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:57.679
I remember something. The spider nods behind her, telling me

902
01:02:57.800 --> 01:03:01.079
to hop on her back. She was wearing a backpack

903
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:03.159
and moves it to her shoulder for me to get on.

904
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:07.960
When I'm secure, the spider follows my directions. I have

905
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:11.760
to hold on tight as the creature leaps far distances.

906
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:17.159
She's probably as strong as Bells. Eventually we land outside

907
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:20.599
of a secluded house that Bell's bought here on County

908
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:24.920
Road one thirteen, outside of downtown village, just in case

909
01:03:25.039 --> 01:03:29.840
things come full circle with mean Martin. The spider glances

910
01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:33.199
at me. I can't enter the house like this. I'm

911
01:03:33.239 --> 01:03:37.440
too big. I'll be right back after I dismount. The

912
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:41.400
spider places Bells in my arms. Then she goes behind

913
01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:45.360
the garage. A few minutes later, a girl comes to us.

914
01:03:46.199 --> 01:03:49.440
She's wearing the same sweatpants and hoodie we saw earlier.

915
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.079
She's got sandals on her feet now. Then she takes

916
01:03:54.119 --> 01:03:59.519
Bell from me and into her arms again. Yeah, Bell's

917
01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:03.159
is uncom conscious. I get us inside and turn on

918
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:07.039
the lights. The girl goes and sets Bells on the couch.

919
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:12.679
Then she thinks to check Bell's wrist. Now she realizes,

920
01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:17.760
how can you have a pulse? She asks Bells, almost

921
01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:22.360
as if she's asking herself. She's not like other vampires.

922
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:25.960
I tell her, I want to pull her hood aside

923
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:29.519
and see who she is. But she's trying to help us.

924
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:35.079
I leave it go Bell's is more important right now anyway.

925
01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:40.599
I just don't understand it. How could vamp Maddie bite

926
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:45.480
Bells and still be alive. When Alissa and Ali Mirn

927
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:50.119
drank from her, they both died horribly from it. They

928
01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:53.480
didn't do it right away, but they melted into this

929
01:04:54.239 --> 01:05:03.920
gross goop. Will the same thing happen to Vamp Maddie perspective?

930
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:08.920
Madeline Donnerly, I'm flying as fast as I can. I

931
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:12.719
ain't gonna make it. I'm gonna die burning up. As

932
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:16.480
I'm nearing the backwoods of Strickfield. I know I'm totally screwed.

933
01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:19.960
The sun's up enough to where it'll kill me. I

934
01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:23.199
groan and fall fast. I won't die when I hit

935
01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:25.440
the ground, but it's gonna hurt.

936
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:26.400
Oh.

937
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:32.320
I'm in great pain, but not for very long. I

938
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:36.000
stand up and clear the cobwebs. Now I'm seeing light

939
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:40.679
in my eyes. I open them and scream. I'm still

940
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.239
too far from my cabin, and I ain't safe from

941
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:48.320
sunlight here in the backwoods, but I'm not burning up.

942
01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:53.360
I stand tall and face the morning sun I look

943
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:58.679
at my tattooed arms and feel my face. Nothing's happening.

944
01:06:00.199 --> 01:06:03.079
I'm scared, but I stay where I am and watch

945
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:10.000
the sun rise more. Wow, I'm still here. I've been

946
01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:12.760
out in the sun for several minutes, and I'm not dying.

947
01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:17.760
It's gotta be the blood I drank from Bells that

948
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.920
means she can be out in the daylight too. I'm

949
01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:26.360
continuing to feel more and more powerful with her blood

950
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:29.199
in me. I don't know what all Bells can do,

951
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:33.039
but I seen other vampires and know they can't be

952
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:35.920
out in the daylight. But the fact that I am

953
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:41.880
means she can too. I'm truly free now. I ain't

954
01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:46.199
got a fear sunlight ever. Again. This whole world's truly

955
01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:49.400
mine to play with and do with as I wish.

956
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:56.199
Now I can truly call my new world utopia. I

957
01:06:56.280 --> 01:07:02.960
haven't seen the sun since Carter Crosses fourteenth birthday. Still

958
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:06.800
in the sunlight, I start walking back to my cabin.

959
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:12.159
I'm gonna go check on Anale's Mirran first. Then I'm

960
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.719
gonna go look for those three heroes again and show

961
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.639
them exactly what I can do. Now.

962
01:07:20.639 --> 01:07:25.840
If you thought that was scary, just you wait, weekly spooky,

963
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:27.079
We'll be right back.

964
01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:43.360
Christmas Eve perspective Felicia Miran. Bella is still unconscious. Eileen

965
01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:47.320
and I have been doing everything we can. She's bringing

966
01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:51.599
me another cold compress to put on Bella's forehead. I

967
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:56.159
never felt a fever like this on anyone before. I'm

968
01:07:56.159 --> 01:08:00.719
almost afraid to ask what a thermometer would read on her. Still,

969
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:06.840
I can't believe Bella Tabon is a vampire. Then I

970
01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:10.199
realized the sunlight's coming through the window and on to her.

971
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:15.440
She's not even dying. I once fought a vampire and

972
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:19.159
stopped him by webbing him up. He was stuck fast

973
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:21.920
until the sun came up, and that's what ended him,

974
01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:27.439
not Bella. Though you said Bella was a different kind

975
01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:33.159
of vampire. I say to Aileen, she's unique. Aileen replies.

976
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:37.279
She walks in the daylight and eats lots of food.

977
01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:43.000
She's not fully undead and doesn't drink blood. She's her

978
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:47.479
own kind of master vampire. I sigh and turn her way.

979
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:53.199
I'm gonna trust you, Aileen. This stays just between us, Okay,

980
01:08:54.439 --> 01:09:02.600
I pull my hood back. Aileen gasps. Felicia, our cheerleading captain,

981
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:07.840
You're the spider lady. I know, right, I reply. I

982
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:11.079
take another cold compress from Aileen and put it on

983
01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:17.960
Bella's forehead. Will she die? I ask? Aileen looks exhausted.

984
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:25.319
I really don't know. Then she cries softly. I'd be

985
01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:29.039
dead right now if it wasn't for Belle's I'm sick

986
01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:32.920
and she's used her family's medicines to keep me alive.

987
01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:38.399
She looks me in the face. I can't lose her, Felicia,

988
01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:43.079
She's all I have. I'm a science whiz, just like you,

989
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:47.439
I say, I don't know how to help a vampire, though.

990
01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:51.000
The only thing I can think of is maybe Bella's

991
01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:54.880
lost too much blood that other vampires seemed to drink

992
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:59.600
quite a bit from her. Just then Bella groans. I

993
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:03.239
quickly pull my hood back on just as she's opening

994
01:10:03.279 --> 01:10:07.840
her eyes. She sees me first. Then a Leen goes

995
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:15.279
into her sight Bell's She groans, I'll live ininie. Feels

996
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:20.239
like I got poison in my veins so hot. Just

997
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:25.720
stay here and lay down, Aileen tells her, Suddenly, my

998
01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:29.319
spider instinct's going critical. I quickly snatch up a Leen

999
01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:31.920
and pull her to the floor as the front window shatters.

1000
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:36.840
I quickly get up to see that vampire again. It

1001
01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:39.359
doesn't take either of us long to see that she's

1002
01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:45.279
not burning up either. Now where were we? The vampire asks,

1003
01:10:46.079 --> 01:10:50.239
Then she looks down at Bella. Hmm, I think I'll

1004
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:53.439
drink up the rest of that yummy blood of yours.

1005
01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:58.199
Bella suddenly strikes and kicks her. The hell you will.

1006
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:03.279
The vampire goes flying through another window, and right outside

1007
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.439
Bella is trying to get up off the couch, but

1008
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:10.279
she's still weak and sick. I leap out that same

1009
01:11:10.359 --> 01:11:16.359
window and intercept the other vampire. Yeah, fight me, she cheers.

1010
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:20.720
The two of us are locked in mortal combat. Fortunately

1011
01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:23.439
for me, I am able to dodge her blows and

1012
01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:28.319
kicks thanks to my spider instinct and reflexes. Yes, comic

1013
01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:31.720
book nerds, I am very much a freak, but I'm

1014
01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:35.359
also trying to be both a good mirror and a hero.

1015
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:40.439
Every time I punch or kick the vampire, She's stunned

1016
01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:44.960
for a moment before getting back up. She's loving every

1017
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:49.199
minute of our fight. She's tried warping behind me, but

1018
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:53.479
my spider instinct warns me of that danger too. I

1019
01:11:53.520 --> 01:11:57.039
can't believe the kind of reflexes I got. I don't

1020
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:01.000
think I ever experienced these in my spider form. Guess

1021
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:05.920
their advantages to being human over my spider body. Unfortunately,

1022
01:12:06.039 --> 01:12:09.199
I can't change into the spider because it takes around

1023
01:12:09.239 --> 01:12:12.119
two minutes, and that vampire won't give me that kind

1024
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:16.239
of time. When she gets too close and tries biting me,

1025
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:20.760
I quickly cover her face with very sticky webs. Then

1026
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:24.359
I grab her arms and give her my pricklyes. I

1027
01:12:24.359 --> 01:12:28.000
hope my spider venom works on her. I get my answer.

1028
01:12:28.039 --> 01:12:31.560
When she starts wobbling around a little, I prick her

1029
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:36.560
again and inject even more venom. Now she's walking around

1030
01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:40.039
like a few stoners I see at Strickfield University. When

1031
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:43.159
I go there to get coffee, I start laying into

1032
01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:46.520
her again. I'm thinking, if she's out in the daylight,

1033
01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:50.760
she drank from Bella and somehow gained her powers too.

1034
01:12:51.239 --> 01:12:54.760
Just how powerful is this vampire. I keep throwing my

1035
01:12:54.800 --> 01:13:00.239
spider strength into her again and again. I'm even drawing blood.

1036
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:04.560
You know, comic book nerds, she ain't gonna stay stoned

1037
01:13:04.600 --> 01:13:08.000
for very long. Suddenly she runs into me with a

1038
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:12.880
shoulder tackle and takes me down. I'm stunned now. Then

1039
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:19.359
the vampire slithers onto me. M chow time. She giggles

1040
01:13:19.399 --> 01:13:24.079
in her mousey voice. Suddenly Bella's right there to pull

1041
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:26.640
the vampire off me and throw her hard enough to

1042
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:31.319
send her flying halfway through a farmer's field. Aileen's right

1043
01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:36.680
there now, you okay? I nod, just a little winded.

1044
01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:40.600
When Aileen gives me her hand, I accept it and

1045
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:44.239
let her help me up. I realize it's now or never.

1046
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.279
I move behind the house and strip down to my

1047
01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:52.079
t shirt. Then I start the change. In two minutes,

1048
01:13:52.359 --> 01:13:57.119
I'm my cute and cuddly giant spider self again. Bella

1049
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:00.199
and I move to the other vampire. I point at

1050
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:05.079
her and demand I want Analie's miran right now. The

1051
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:10.079
other vampire laughs scornfully. H Wanner, come and get her.

1052
01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:14.239
She quickly flies up into the air and is getting away.

1053
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:18.279
Bella tries leaping up to catch her, but she's still

1054
01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:22.039
too weak and falls back to the ground. Damn it,

1055
01:14:22.760 --> 01:14:28.479
Bella screams. Aileen kneels down beside her. Easy, Bell's, don't

1056
01:14:28.479 --> 01:14:32.960
push yourself. Bella gets back to her feet. Then she

1057
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:36.760
sees me what do you have to do with Analie's miran.

1058
01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:42.479
Let's just say she's someone I care about. I reply.

1059
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:48.920
Bella groans, fine, it's our fight. Then she looks in

1060
01:14:48.960 --> 01:14:53.359
the direction the other vampire flew. Guess we're heading into

1061
01:14:53.399 --> 01:14:57.960
the backwoods of Strickfield. I really hate that place, all

1062
01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:01.439
kinds of nasty things. WHI looking around back in there.

1063
01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:05.880
I put a hand on Bella's shoulder. You're gonna be

1064
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:11.399
okay to do this, she sighs. Honestly, I still ain't

1065
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:15.079
feeling so hot, but I'm gonna do this. Can you

1066
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:19.439
carry both iinny and me on your back? Spider? Hop on?

1067
01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:23.600
I tell them Bella and Aileen are both short and

1068
01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:27.840
skinny enough to ride on my back. Hang On, I

1069
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:30.880
show my riders how fast I can move on my

1070
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.880
eight legs. It takes a few leaps, but eventually we're

1071
01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:39.039
outside the forbidden Forest. No point asking if Bella and

1072
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:43.159
Aileen want to turn back. Knowing we're seeing this thing through,

1073
01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:48.399
we head into the backwoods of Strickfield together to have

1074
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:51.479
a meeting with Destiny.

1075
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:56.159
Don't go away, weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.

1076
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:07.680
Perspective, Bella tabon, I don't understand how that other Madeline

1077
01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:12.159
Donnerly could drink from me and gain my powers. I

1078
01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:16.000
already know how dangerous I am. I haven't forgotten how

1079
01:16:16.079 --> 01:16:20.800
dangerous Thornton Jillian was during my time as immortal. I

1080
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:24.600
was the one who finally killed him, but his powerful

1081
01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:29.680
master vampire blood mixed with my pure Tabon blood through

1082
01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:33.520
injuries while I was unconscious, turning me into the master

1083
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:38.000
vampire I am now. The fact that this Madeleine now

1084
01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:42.319
seems to have all my powers makes her possibly even

1085
01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:46.399
more dangerous than I or even Thornton Gillian could ever be.

1086
01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:50.520
I can also tell this Madeline's not playing with a

1087
01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:55.880
full deck, which makes her that much worse. Listen, you two,

1088
01:16:56.439 --> 01:16:59.640
when we fight Maddie in there, don't hold back, I

1089
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:04.039
tell them, And remember, Ainie, this ain't your twin cousin.

1090
01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:08.319
Believe me, Belles, I know the difference between our Maddie

1091
01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:14.159
and that thing we're chasing. Aileen replies, I'm just hoping

1092
01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.600
what happened in that vampire universe we went to back

1093
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:20.239
in October isn't a sign of things to come here.

1094
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:25.560
I doubt it. Iinie, I tell her, remember she didn't

1095
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:29.479
even know who I was either, I don't exist in

1096
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:33.439
that vampire universe, or she ain't never met me before.

1097
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:38.479
Wait a minute, are you two saying parallel universes are

1098
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:43.319
actually real? The spider asks, we don't expect you to

1099
01:17:43.359 --> 01:17:48.399
believe us. Aileen replies, you had to have been there. No,

1100
01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:53.079
I believe you. The spider says, I guess you can

1101
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:57.039
make this stuff up, but at the same time you can't.

1102
01:17:57.399 --> 01:18:02.680
Then she stops. It's my fighter instinct. Be ready. It

1103
01:18:02.680 --> 01:18:05.880
ain't long before these white people are coming at us,

1104
01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:11.359
and I mean white hair and skin. They also have

1105
01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:18.640
puke colored eyes. Hungry, they both roar We're ready to

1106
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:21.760
jump off, but the Spider quickly turns to face them.

1107
01:18:22.479 --> 01:18:26.000
I got this. She snags them both with her webs,

1108
01:18:26.439 --> 01:18:29.920
brings them to her, and smashes their heads together. They

1109
01:18:29.960 --> 01:18:32.880
both fall away and are staggering trying to get up,

1110
01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:36.960
giving us time to get away. I swear it seems

1111
01:18:37.000 --> 01:18:40.960
like we're getting deeper and deeper into these woods. How

1112
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.800
in the world did this big stretch of woods outside

1113
01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:50.920
Strickfield become such a fearful place? No cell signal here,

1114
01:18:51.359 --> 01:18:57.079
Iini informs us. Not surprised, the spider replies, just like

1115
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.600
in the horror movies. We live them all the time.

1116
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:05.159
I inform her story of our lives. Ainie and me

1117
01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:10.680
keep riding the spider. Soon we come to another clearing stop, Spider,

1118
01:19:11.199 --> 01:19:15.520
I think I smell Madeline. I'm right up above you.

1119
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:20.079
We hear her call out, but the spider quickly knocks

1120
01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:24.520
Madeline away as she drops on us. Ainie and me dismount.

1121
01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:30.439
When Madeline's on her feet, she cheers, congratulations, you found it.

1122
01:19:31.399 --> 01:19:35.800
The spider gasps. When we see Analie's mirror sitting lazily

1123
01:19:35.880 --> 01:19:40.680
on the porch of a nearby cabin. She looks very weak.

1124
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:45.680
Then I remember how Madeline drank from me and understand

1125
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:50.239
what kind of vampires come from her universe. Don't let

1126
01:19:50.279 --> 01:19:53.680
Madeline bite you, I warn them, or you'll turn for sure.

1127
01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:59.479
The spider points to Annalie's mirn Did you bite her, Madeline?

1128
01:20:00.039 --> 01:20:06.279
I'll kill you. Madeline snickers. Maybe I did, and maybe

1129
01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:11.439
I didn't. She points to me. Oh bells. Since I

1130
01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:16.039
drank your blood, I got your powers Now. I really

1131
01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:23.000
love enjoying a beautiful sunrise. You set me free. I

1132
01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:26.359
don't care how weak I still am. Madeleine's gotta be

1133
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:30.479
stopped I'm a tabon and I can't let this creature win.

1134
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:34.039
Let's do this. Only one of us is leaving here,

1135
01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:39.199
and it ain't gonna be you. Madeleine tightens her fists. Okay,

1136
01:20:40.039 --> 01:20:45.000
entertain me. Suddenly Madeleine howls and leaps right at me.

1137
01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:55.640
Perspective Madeline Donnerly. Yes, I'm finally gonna be entertained at last.

1138
01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:58.680
I was beginning to think I was gonna be bored

1139
01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:02.960
here in Utopia. It's little old me against a mortal,

1140
01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:07.640
the master vampire who set me free, and a spider freak.

1141
01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:12.880
At first, I'm thinking Aileen'll be easy, peasy, lemon squeezy,

1142
01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:16.319
but she's showing me she ain't no little mousey with

1143
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:20.840
her moves and those contraptions. She can't really hurt me

1144
01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:24.079
with her moves, but she's showing me she ain't gonna

1145
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:28.159
go down easy. The only thing frustrating me is I

1146
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:29.439
can't hit that spider.

1147
01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:30.720
Ah.

1148
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:35.800
That's right, spiders sense danger. She'll always know I'm coming,

1149
01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:40.560
even when I warp behind her. She's definitely strong, but

1150
01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:45.319
I'm much stronger since drinking from bells. In fact, that's

1151
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:48.720
what I'm gonna do again. I want all of her

1152
01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:53.640
delicious blood. I want all of her power. The four

1153
01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:56.840
of us keep fighting into the afternoon. I can tell

1154
01:21:56.880 --> 01:22:00.560
Aileen's getting tired, but she's still showing she willing to

1155
01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:05.000
fight Eventually, even with my new powers, these three just

1156
01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:08.119
ain't given up. They all triple te me and give

1157
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:11.279
me a hell of a showdown. Then the Spider Girl

1158
01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:16.760
sticks me again. Wow, she really dope me up this time.

1159
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:22.640
I can barely stand. Then I fall on my keyster. Seriously,

1160
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:26.039
you're all wanting to kill me so bad just to

1161
01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:31.079
get this blood bag over here back I jeer see.

1162
01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:34.439
I glam dna Lie's Miron and got her to open

1163
01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:38.479
up about herself. She's one of the absolute worst people

1164
01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:42.920
you'll ever meet. Know how many big companies she's taken over,

1165
01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:46.840
Know how many judges she's bought off. That's how corrupt

1166
01:22:46.920 --> 01:22:49.800
this woman is. You ought to just let me have her.

1167
01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:54.039
I'd be doing people here a favor. Then Bell's leaps

1168
01:22:54.079 --> 01:22:57.000
at me and pops me right in the face. You'll

1169
01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:01.039
never understand, Madeline, You're not a hero. It ain't about

1170
01:23:01.079 --> 01:23:03.239
what people like Annale's mir and may or may not

1171
01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:07.359
have done. When I'm almost on my feet, a Leen's

1172
01:23:07.439 --> 01:23:10.800
right there to fire a steak into my heart. For

1173
01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:14.760
a brief moment, I'm afraid of dying for good. Then

1174
01:23:14.960 --> 01:23:19.840
I'm seeing the benefits of drinking Bells's blood again. The

1175
01:23:19.960 --> 01:23:24.880
vampire weaknesses I once had no longer affect me. I

1176
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:27.720
pull the steak out of my heart. Oh, I do

1177
01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:30.520
know what it's like being a hero. But what you

1178
01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:33.600
got to live for when your greatest enemy takes everything

1179
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:37.520
from you? Oh, I'm really mad and break the steak

1180
01:23:37.680 --> 01:23:42.359
just by squeezing it. Mayor Gunter caused the vampire apocalypse

1181
01:23:42.399 --> 01:23:45.560
to happen in my universe. He took away my world,

1182
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:50.399
my family, my friends, and my life. He eventually took

1183
01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:54.000
my mortality when he bit me and turned me into this.

1184
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:59.000
Then he finally killed Carter Cross, taking the love of

1185
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:02.600
my life away from it. I ain't got nothing left

1186
01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:06.760
to lose. I'm feeling all that power surging through me

1187
01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:11.319
as I'm getting madder and madder. So you do, gooders,

1188
01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:11.720
Tell me?

1189
01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:12.000
Then?

1190
01:24:13.119 --> 01:24:17.000
What else is there left to fight for? I pause?

1191
01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:22.560
Don't you understand yet? Goodness is weakness.

1192
01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:29.000
There's more scares where that came from. Weakly, Spooky will

1193
01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:29.840
be right back.

1194
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:37.039
The spiders looking upset. You think I don't know what

1195
01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:41.039
Anali's Miron's done. Has it ever occurred to you that

1196
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:43.600
I could have turned to evil and did everything you're

1197
01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:46.960
doing right now? But I got a real chance to

1198
01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:50.279
do some good and help make this world a better place.

1199
01:24:51.319 --> 01:24:54.239
If it means I gotta save people like Analie's Miran,

1200
01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:57.920
then that's what I gotta do. It ain't our place

1201
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:01.199
to judge them. That's for God to decide their fate,

1202
01:25:02.000 --> 01:25:06.319
not you. Now I'm just looking at them, and one

1203
01:25:06.359 --> 01:25:10.880
more time, I'm laughing hard. When I finish, I just

1204
01:25:10.960 --> 01:25:14.960
look right at him. Yeah, you all entertain me. Good.

1205
01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:18.399
You're giving me a hell of a fight. So you

1206
01:25:18.479 --> 01:25:23.000
think highly of this god? Huh? Well, I got something

1207
01:25:23.079 --> 01:25:27.560
here that says the contrary. That's when I'm reaching in

1208
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:31.720
my pocket and pulling out my compact. I open it

1209
01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:36.279
up and show them. Yeah, I learned about old Bloodstone,

1210
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:41.319
which lets vampires see their reflection. That means I can

1211
01:25:41.479 --> 01:25:45.319
use it to finally see my own reflection. Ever play

1212
01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:50.079
video games, don't you know there's always a final boss. Well,

1213
01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:54.119
guess what it ain't me. Then I laugh it up

1214
01:25:54.159 --> 01:25:59.880
again before looking into the compact and saying, Mary Worth,

1215
01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:15.199
Mary Worth, Mary worried. Boy, Oh boy, you people should

1216
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:18.640
have seen the looks on the hero's faces when the

1217
01:26:18.680 --> 01:26:23.640
ground starts shaking. Soon the evil red energies come out

1218
01:26:23.680 --> 01:26:27.960
of the mirror and flow into me. Oh, are these

1219
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:32.039
three ever gonna be in for the fight of their lives?

1220
01:26:32.640 --> 01:26:35.920
Mary Worth used to be a white witch who fought

1221
01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:40.840
for good. After Patrick Gunter bit and turned me tainted

1222
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:45.640
my soul, Mary's soul got tainted as well since she

1223
01:26:46.640 --> 01:26:50.560
was possessing me. I truly wish I could describe what

1224
01:26:50.640 --> 01:26:55.880
she looks like now, but I simply couldn't do her justice. Now.

1225
01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:59.640
I just sit back and let Mary deal with these

1226
01:27:00.319 --> 01:27:09.880
so called heroes. Perspective, Aileen Donnerly. Just when I thought

1227
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:14.319
being in that vampire universe last October was scary enough,

1228
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:19.479
I should have seen this coming, Bells, I groan, No,

1229
01:27:20.279 --> 01:27:25.079
we should have seen this. Bells disagrees. Normally when cousin

1230
01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:29.239
Maddie calls for Mary Worth. She's a gentle and powerful

1231
01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:32.399
white witch who wields the power of the White Light.

1232
01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:36.760
Though she was wrongfully accused of witchcraft during the days

1233
01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:39.960
of the Salem witch Trials, she never turned to evil

1234
01:27:40.720 --> 01:27:43.880
she just simply left her body and went into a

1235
01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:48.600
mirror to escape her death. But this evil version of her,

1236
01:27:49.399 --> 01:27:52.640
she's colored in many different shades of red, and her

1237
01:27:52.680 --> 01:27:57.119
eyes are glowing like two burning rubies. Just seeing the

1238
01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:01.239
power emitting from her, you can literally see how evil

1239
01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:06.560
she really is. Those sharp fangs of hers truly scare me.

1240
01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:10.800
Bell's is right. We both should have seen this coming,

1241
01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:15.760
vamp Maddie sure played us good. Now we may not

1242
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:20.439
even live to see Christmas Day tomorrow. Vamp Mary laughs

1243
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.319
scornfully at us. Her laughter is so scary when it

1244
01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:30.720
echoes upward into the sky. Madeleine called me the final Boss,

1245
01:28:31.479 --> 01:28:36.840
vamp Mary says, in her evil voice. Truly you shall learn,

1246
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:42.640
indeed what a final boss can be. Suddenly, vamp Mary

1247
01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:46.319
lashes out with her powers and immediately strikes all of

1248
01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:51.239
us down. A man. Yeah, I know it's something, cousin

1249
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:55.239
Maddie says, but that's how I'm feeling right now. I

1250
01:28:55.319 --> 01:28:59.159
really feel like laying right where I am and dying,

1251
01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:03.199
even though I know I'm dying because of the disease

1252
01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:07.399
that's slowly killing me. I know I don't want to die.

1253
01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:11.279
I force myself to sit up Bell's taught me so

1254
01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:15.079
much since she came to be my best friend. I

1255
01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:19.720
don't care. I'll die fighting beside my friend. And besides,

1256
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:25.199
Felicia's right about why we're the good guys. Problem is,

1257
01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:31.079
how can you fight a ghost? Then Bell's raises her hand.

1258
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:34.279
You two are gonna have to sit this one out.

1259
01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:38.359
I'm the only one who can fight her. That's right.

1260
01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:42.720
Bell's was able to keep Abigail Tomlin from taking cousin

1261
01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:45.239
Maddie and her friends the way she did those three

1262
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.520
boys a year ago last Halloween. I don't know what

1263
01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:52.039
kind of power a master vampire holds over a ghost,

1264
01:29:52.560 --> 01:29:58.239
but I'm placing my faith in my best friend. Very well, vampire,

1265
01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:03.960
I shall accept your challenge. Vamp Mary points to Bells.

1266
01:30:04.760 --> 01:30:08.840
But it shall mean the end of you.

1267
01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:15.560
If you're not afraid, then you're already dead. Weekly Spooky

1268
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:16.880
will be right back.

1269
01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:24.880
Suddenly, vamp Mary strikes Bells down again with her tremendous power.

1270
01:30:25.640 --> 01:30:29.680
Bell's groans and then stands up. That all you got.

1271
01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:35.359
Vamp Mary strikes Bells down again again. She gets up.

1272
01:30:36.479 --> 01:30:40.760
I'm afraid for Bells still, no matter how many times

1273
01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:45.199
vamp Mary strikes her down, Bells keeps getting right back up.

1274
01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:51.399
Sooner or later, you shall remain still for good. Vamp

1275
01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:58.039
Mary taunts, even you cannot withstand my power. Forever. Bells

1276
01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:02.800
forces herself to her feet again. But forever is exactly

1277
01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:07.479
how long I got? Or did you forget I'm a vampire?

1278
01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:11.880
Then Felicia taps me on the shoulder and whispers a plan.

1279
01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:15.680
I nod and hop on her back. I don't know

1280
01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:19.520
if Belle's is distracting vamp Mary, but we're getting the time.

1281
01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:22.600
We need to get over to that cabin and rescue

1282
01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:27.079
Annalise mirn. When we reach her, she looks like she's

1283
01:31:27.159 --> 01:31:31.800
really weak. I climb off Felicia and start checking Analie's neck.

1284
01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:36.760
That's when Annalise herself comes to life and starts punching

1285
01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:40.880
and slapping at me. Felicia quickly grabs her wrists and

1286
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:43.840
holds her so I can examine her. I don't see

1287
01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:47.920
any bites, I tell Felicia, get your hands off me.

1288
01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:53.279
Analise growls, seeing Analise is going to fight us, Felicia

1289
01:31:53.359 --> 01:31:58.399
sinks a claw into her. Shortly after she's falling fast asleep,

1290
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:03.239
Felicia lift Santa Lise into her arms. Get on, Aileen,

1291
01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:07.079
I'll get us out of here. I look up at Felicia.

1292
01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:11.319
You can get her out of here. I'm staying with Bells.

1293
01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:15.680
She's about to ask me if I'm sure. Then she

1294
01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:19.439
smiles a little. If you two ain't back at school

1295
01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:23.600
for cheerleading practice after Christmas break, I'll come find you

1296
01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:28.479
both and assign extra duties. I laugh a little. We'll

1297
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:32.600
be there. Felicia and I slap a quick five before

1298
01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:36.359
she turns away and takes Annale's to safety. I don't

1299
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:39.920
know if Felicia is coming back or not. I turn

1300
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:45.039
my attention back to Bells and vamp Mary. I don't

1301
01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:47.520
know what I can do in this fight, but I

1302
01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:52.640
won't abandon Bells, not when she's never abandoned me. I

1303
01:32:52.760 --> 01:32:56.680
take a deep breath, then move my little legs. Vamp

1304
01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:00.600
Mary keeps striking Bells down, but she can. I'm showing

1305
01:33:01.119 --> 01:33:04.479
she won't stay there. Bell's looks like she got her

1306
01:33:04.479 --> 01:33:10.199
butt kicked many many times over. And then I see

1307
01:33:10.199 --> 01:33:16.399
it vamp Maddie's compact. Now I'm thinking of my Maddie.

1308
01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:21.039
People call her mouse. People used to call me mouse. Okay,

1309
01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:25.039
I'll be mouse today. I get on my hands and

1310
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:29.399
knees and move real careful. I'm ever so close to

1311
01:33:29.439 --> 01:33:34.520
that horrible vampire ghost. I can literally feel that red

1312
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:40.159
evil radiating from her spectral form. But I have courage

1313
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:44.840
and reach out to grab vamp Maddie's compact. Then I

1314
01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:51.359
turn around and sneak away you. Then vamp Mary fires

1315
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:56.840
twin ibeams at the compact and destroys it. You have

1316
01:33:57.039 --> 01:34:01.800
nothing left to fight me with, little one, vamp Mary sneers.

1317
01:34:02.680 --> 01:34:06.479
I look past her and see Bell's is again getting up.

1318
01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:12.520
You know, I'm really scared, but I stand up and

1319
01:34:12.640 --> 01:34:16.079
look right into vamp Mary's face. When I see her

1320
01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:21.600
fangs again, I know exactly what to do. I've got this,

1321
01:34:22.199 --> 01:34:25.960
I tell her simply. I raise my arm and fire

1322
01:34:26.079 --> 01:34:30.439
my last remaining stake. It hits its mark and actually

1323
01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:36.439
sinks right into the ghost's heart. Vamp Mary gasps, uh, no,

1324
01:34:36.880 --> 01:34:44.359
that's impossible. Good thinking, Anie Bell's calls out, shakingly. Yeah,

1325
01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:49.159
she's still very weak. The ghost tries pulling the stake out,

1326
01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:53.079
but her energies are fading fast. She has enough time

1327
01:34:53.119 --> 01:34:56.920
to utter a spell which opens a portal. Then the

1328
01:34:56.960 --> 01:35:03.239
ghost disappears and becomes vamp Maddie again, she points at us. Now,

1329
01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:09.640
no fair, what did you do to me? Belle's obliges

1330
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:14.800
Vamp Maddie. Now, no, what did you do, Madeline? She

1331
01:35:14.960 --> 01:35:19.680
raises her finger. Okay, you got yourself an early Christmas

1332
01:35:19.720 --> 01:35:23.239
present by drinking my blood and gaining my powers from it.

1333
01:35:23.760 --> 01:35:27.119
In this case, it was only you who got my powers,

1334
01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:31.119
not your ghostly friend. That's why Aini was able to

1335
01:35:31.119 --> 01:35:35.640
stake her. She became a vampire herself through you. Now

1336
01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:38.560
that she's faded, it's left you weaken.

1337
01:35:38.720 --> 01:35:38.880
Two.

1338
01:35:39.960 --> 01:35:43.359
You never sent her back into the mirror properly, and

1339
01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:48.960
since your Mary destroyed it, Belle's approaches her. Now, oh,

1340
01:35:49.399 --> 01:35:54.640
here's another Christmas present. Suddenly, Bell's vamps out and grabs

1341
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.880
Vamp Maddie. Then she gives me one heck of a

1342
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:02.359
surprise when she exposes Vamp Mattie's neck and sinks her

1343
01:36:02.439 --> 01:36:10.359
fangs deep. Now I'm wondering if somehow Vamp Maddie's bite

1344
01:36:10.359 --> 01:36:16.119
did something to Bell's, like some kind of trade. Bells

1345
01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:20.800
keeps drinking and drinking until Vamp Maddie is far too

1346
01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:27.039
weak to move and goes limp. Bell's finishes by raising

1347
01:36:27.159 --> 01:36:31.159
vamp Maddie over her head, then throwing her into the

1348
01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:41.800
open portal. Ou Vamp Maddie calls out before the portal closes.

1349
01:36:43.640 --> 01:36:48.720
Where did we send her, Bells, I ask? She shrugs

1350
01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:56.359
hopefully back to her home universe. Now I'm noticing she's

1351
01:36:56.399 --> 01:37:03.960
not looking so good. You okay, Bell's glares at me. Now, No,

1352
01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:07.960
I nee, I ain't okay. I just drank a bunch

1353
01:37:08.000 --> 01:37:13.520
of blood. I forgot how nasty this stuff tastes. Oh,

1354
01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:16.720
I got her. Now I know exactly what to do.

1355
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:22.800
Maybe the taste of a greasy pork sandwich will Suddenly,

1356
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:26.399
Bells drops to her knees and paints the ground with

1357
01:37:26.520 --> 01:37:30.880
all that blood she sucked out of Vamp Maddie. When

1358
01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:34.520
she finishes, she stands up and glares at me again.

1359
01:37:35.840 --> 01:37:41.199
I'm gonna kill you. I raise my finger. I had

1360
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:43.359
to get you back for at the morgue last night.

1361
01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:52.319
Bell's sighs, fine, we're even I shake my head. Nope,

1362
01:37:52.359 --> 01:37:55.039
not when you consider how many times you've made me

1363
01:37:55.199 --> 01:37:58.520
run to the bathroom when we'd investigate down there. But

1364
01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:05.039
I finally got you one on Belle's size. Fine, if

1365
01:38:05.039 --> 01:38:11.159
we're done here, let's go home. Mine or yours, I ask,

1366
01:38:12.279 --> 01:38:17.399
She groans, you choose. I really feel like crap.

1367
01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:24.840
The only thing scarier than that is not being subscribed weekly.

1368
01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:26.359
Spooky will be right back.

1369
01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:40.800
Epilogue Christmas Day perspective, Bella tabon Iini chose for us

1370
01:38:40.840 --> 01:38:43.479
to go to my house. I had to board up

1371
01:38:43.479 --> 01:38:46.479
the windows that got broken out. I'll have to get

1372
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:50.640
those replaced after Christmas. Next, I got the house warm

1373
01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:53.800
for Iini and cleaned up the debris from the windows.

1374
01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:58.680
From there, we both crashed until Christmas morning. When I

1375
01:38:58.720 --> 01:39:02.319
wake up, I feel full restored. It's like I never

1376
01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:06.199
lost my blood to begin with. Then Iini comes and

1377
01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:13.319
finds me. You okay, bells? She asks, No, I'm really hungry.

1378
01:39:13.800 --> 01:39:18.640
I answer, I'm thinking Denoyer's grill and some breakfast platters.

1379
01:39:19.520 --> 01:39:23.880
You hungry? Yeah, I'll do breakfast with you, Ainy replies.

1380
01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:27.560
After we get cleaned up and put fresh clothes on,

1381
01:39:28.279 --> 01:39:32.119
I get us both the Denoyer's grill. Since I'm back

1382
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:36.520
at full power. That only means Thornton Gillian has the

1383
01:39:36.600 --> 01:39:42.119
last laugh on me once again. I'd have thought that

1384
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:46.239
after the other Madeline nearly suck me dry, that I'd

1385
01:39:46.319 --> 01:39:51.600
finally drop over and stop being immortal again. I'm thinking

1386
01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:56.159
I may never be able to die. On a more

1387
01:39:56.239 --> 01:40:00.600
positive note, I get to keep eating this delicious Denoyer's

1388
01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:06.359
grill food. Even on Christmas Day. They're still serving up breakfast.

1389
01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:13.560
They're going to be serving Christmas dinner later on that night.

1390
01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:17.680
Iiny and me are at my place. I really wanted

1391
01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:20.760
to cook dinner for her like I did on Thanksgiving.

1392
01:40:21.920 --> 01:40:27.439
Just like on Thanksgiving, Iiny ate good, honestly, we both

1393
01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:31.920
ate good. Eventually we're sitting in the family room and

1394
01:40:32.079 --> 01:40:36.800
enjoying the fireplace. Thanks for letting me stay here with you, Bells.

1395
01:40:37.359 --> 01:40:41.880
Aini says, no problem. We kind of had to come

1396
01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:45.199
here anyway, since I never got around to buying food

1397
01:40:45.199 --> 01:40:47.880
to eat at your place. I knew I had plenty

1398
01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:53.560
of food here, so made sense. So what do you

1399
01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:58.039
want to do? Ainie asks, what do you want to do?

1400
01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:04.039
I ask back, iine, shrugs. I don't really care, Bells.

1401
01:41:04.560 --> 01:41:08.359
We're here with each other. It's Christmas. At least we

1402
01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:12.760
don't have to see Martin. I turned to her, how

1403
01:41:12.800 --> 01:41:19.640
are you feeling? I'm fine, Really, I'm fine. Those pills

1404
01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:23.159
you whipped up for me at Thanksgiving keep working. I'm

1405
01:41:23.199 --> 01:41:27.319
hoping they never stop. Iiny gets up and comes and

1406
01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:31.640
sits with me on the couch. I know we ain't lovers,

1407
01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:35.920
but I love you, Bells. I appreciate you training me

1408
01:41:36.000 --> 01:41:38.159
and letting me be your partner out in the field.

1409
01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:40.840
I want to be able to live long enough to

1410
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:44.239
help you in whatever way I can. Only way you're

1411
01:41:44.279 --> 01:41:47.479
going to get me to stop is to leave me forever,

1412
01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:52.159
I sigh. In the beginning, we both know I tried

1413
01:41:52.239 --> 01:41:56.960
doing that and failed miserably. I couldn't do that to

1414
01:41:57.039 --> 01:42:02.279
you now, Aine, We've been friends far too long. We're

1415
01:42:02.399 --> 01:42:05.840
family now. I know I'll never be able to stop

1416
01:42:05.880 --> 01:42:08.960
you from coming out with me, but I don't want

1417
01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:12.279
you to die out in battle with me. I know

1418
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:15.479
the only way I can truly stop you, and I'll

1419
01:42:15.479 --> 01:42:19.119
never do that. I thought i'd always be alone after

1420
01:42:19.159 --> 01:42:23.920
becoming the last Tabon, but then you came along and

1421
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:28.319
all that changed. I don't know. I feel like in

1422
01:42:28.359 --> 01:42:32.520
some way we're supposed to be together. I can't explain it.

1423
01:42:33.119 --> 01:42:36.880
Like you said, we ain't lovers, but it ain't like that,

1424
01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:41.680
so I guess will always be partners, you and me.

1425
01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:46.560
I take Ainie's hand in mind and cry a little

1426
01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:53.079
just don't you dare die on me, not unless it's

1427
01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:58.279
your natural time. Aie and I both hug and hold

1428
01:42:58.319 --> 01:43:02.600
each other for a long while. Personally, I haven't been

1429
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:06.319
a huge fan of Christmas since I became the last

1430
01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:11.960
Tabon and had no family to celebrate with. But now

1431
01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:16.279
I've been with Iini for two Christmas holidays. Since she's

1432
01:43:16.399 --> 01:43:20.039
family to me, now I have a reason to celebrate again.

1433
01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:25.600
I don't want to lose Ainy, but I am going

1434
01:43:25.680 --> 01:43:30.720
to cherish as much time with her as I possibly can.

1435
01:43:32.279 --> 01:43:35.960
I'm hoping we can have many more Christmases and other

1436
01:43:36.079 --> 01:43:42.600
family holidays together. Grahams used to say, nothing's more important

1437
01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:47.079
than family. I guess I gotta thank Thornton Jillian for

1438
01:43:47.119 --> 01:43:51.960
what he inadvertently made me into. If it weren't for

1439
01:43:52.039 --> 01:43:56.079
my becoming a master vampire, i'd never have met Aine.

1440
01:43:58.399 --> 01:44:03.399
Merry Christmas, bells, Ainie says when we finally come apart,

1441
01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:15.600
Merry Christmas, Ainie. I tell her perspective, Felicia Miron. I

1442
01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:19.239
don't make it back to Gabriel's parents' house until late

1443
01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:24.760
Christmas Eve night. Gabriel's waiting up for me. Naturally, I'm

1444
01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:29.800
back in my human form wearing normal clothes now. Naturally,

1445
01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:35.000
Millie's asleep upstairs. Gabriel looks from the TV to me.

1446
01:44:36.439 --> 01:44:38.920
When he sees I look like hell, he gets up

1447
01:44:38.960 --> 01:44:45.199
and comes to me. You okay, Felicia, what happened? I

1448
01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:48.119
really don't know if I want to tell Gabriel everything,

1449
01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:51.840
but we're getting more and more serious about each other.

1450
01:44:53.159 --> 01:44:57.279
I had a huge fight with my sister, I tell

1451
01:44:57.359 --> 01:45:01.199
him as the spider a, I leaned donnerly and I

1452
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:05.720
saved Annalise. Thankfully, she didn't get turned by that vampire

1453
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:08.560
we were fighting. I don't know if I could have

1454
01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:12.479
forgiven myself for that. Once I turned back to human

1455
01:45:12.880 --> 01:45:15.640
and put my clothes back on, I showed up to

1456
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:19.840
try and take Annalise back home. First thing she did

1457
01:45:19.920 --> 01:45:23.479
was slap me hard across the face and told me

1458
01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:26.600
she didn't need her pathetic whimp of a little sister

1459
01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:31.000
to save her. Then she kept rubbing salt in my

1460
01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:34.720
wounds by saying I was stupid and a bleeding heart,

1461
01:45:35.439 --> 01:45:39.640
just like cousin Charity. She said I should have just

1462
01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:42.439
left her there, and that's what she would have done

1463
01:45:42.439 --> 01:45:46.319
to me if I had been in her shoes. I

1464
01:45:46.359 --> 01:45:50.760
couldn't hold back anymore. I went off on Annalise like

1465
01:45:50.800 --> 01:45:54.960
I'd never gone off on anyone. No, I never hit her,

1466
01:45:55.000 --> 01:45:58.399
but I told her how soulless she turned out to be,

1467
01:45:59.640 --> 01:46:02.760
to act insult to injury. I told her that I'd

1468
01:46:02.760 --> 01:46:07.000
have saved her again and again. It felt really good

1469
01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:10.239
to get all that out of my system. It also

1470
01:46:10.399 --> 01:46:13.840
felt good that I rescued her, especially when it came

1471
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:16.880
to teaming up with other heroes to save the day.

1472
01:46:18.079 --> 01:46:23.680
Of course, I couldn't tell Gabriel about that part. Gabriel's

1473
01:46:23.720 --> 01:46:27.239
been holding me to him the entire time and being

1474
01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:31.720
the most supportive man. I just don't understand how people

1475
01:46:31.760 --> 01:46:37.039
can become so apathetic like that. I finish now. He

1476
01:46:37.159 --> 01:46:40.279
makes me look up at him. He's a head taller

1477
01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:43.199
than me. He tells me how sorry he is for

1478
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:46.399
what I went through and that he's glad I confide

1479
01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:49.399
it in him about it. He tells me I can

1480
01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:53.000
tell him anything and that he'll always be my rock.

1481
01:46:54.079 --> 01:47:02.199
Then I finally tell him I love you. There's that

1482
01:47:02.279 --> 01:47:07.760
lady killer smile again. I love you too, Felicia. I

1483
01:47:07.800 --> 01:47:12.000
don't need my spider instinct to tell me someone's watching us.

1484
01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:17.920
We both turn and see little Milly. She comes running

1485
01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:22.319
right to me. I lower myself and hug her close

1486
01:47:22.359 --> 01:47:27.119
to me. She hugs me just as tight. I missed you,

1487
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:32.640
she says, I missed you too. I tell her I'm

1488
01:47:32.680 --> 01:47:37.920
back now as promised. Just then, the old grandfather clock

1489
01:47:37.920 --> 01:47:41.359
in the living room goes off. Now I look at

1490
01:47:41.439 --> 01:47:46.800
Gabriel's little girl in the face. Hey, Milly, it's midnight.

1491
01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:54.279
Know what it is? Now? It's Christmas. Then Gabriel kneels

1492
01:47:54.279 --> 01:47:59.359
down with us. Felicia's right, Milly, it is Christmas. Now

1493
01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:06.159
I want to open presents. Yeah, she exclaims, truth be told.

1494
01:48:06.600 --> 01:48:09.600
When I agreed to live with Gabriel while he's house sitting,

1495
01:48:10.319 --> 01:48:13.199
I never knew I'd be feeling things I only ever

1496
01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:17.319
thought would happen in movies. I cried many times when

1497
01:48:17.359 --> 01:48:20.640
I'd watch them on the Hallmark channel or on Lifetime.

1498
01:48:21.359 --> 01:48:25.680
Other things. Annals would say I was weak for whenever

1499
01:48:25.720 --> 01:48:30.720
I'd show emotions, she'd call me weak. I gladly own

1500
01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:34.439
my emotions. I don't know if this is truly what

1501
01:48:34.520 --> 01:48:36.840
it feels like to be a part of a family unit,

1502
01:48:37.560 --> 01:48:41.600
but if it is, I think I want this. I

1503
01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:44.039
want to be a good woman. For Gabriel and a

1504
01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:47.239
good mother figure to Millie. I know I'm only a

1505
01:48:47.319 --> 01:48:49.840
senior in high school, but I know I love this

1506
01:48:49.960 --> 01:48:53.479
man and his daughter. Oh but it's about to get

1507
01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:57.680
much worse. Comic book Nerds. After we opened all the presents,

1508
01:48:57.720 --> 01:49:01.000
we're all sitting on the couch and watching a Christmas story.

1509
01:49:01.960 --> 01:49:05.880
Little Milly actually stays awake. It's when we finally get

1510
01:49:05.920 --> 01:49:08.960
to the end scene where the dad surprises Ralphie with

1511
01:49:09.039 --> 01:49:13.880
one more present. That's when Gabriel suddenly sits up and

1512
01:49:14.000 --> 01:49:19.119
looks around. Hey, wait a minute, did we open all

1513
01:49:19.239 --> 01:49:23.560
the presents? He asks? Now I sit up myself and

1514
01:49:23.680 --> 01:49:28.520
look around. I'm pretty sure we did. Milly, you played

1515
01:49:28.520 --> 01:49:31.720
Santa Claus. You didn't miss any by any chance, did you?

1516
01:49:32.640 --> 01:49:37.319
She shakes her head, no, Felicia. Then Gabriel looks at

1517
01:49:37.319 --> 01:49:42.920
Milly suspiciously. You sure about that, little lady? Suddenly Milly

1518
01:49:42.960 --> 01:49:47.039
comes to life. I'll be right back, Felicia. Milly goes

1519
01:49:47.079 --> 01:49:50.720
and runs upstairs. Then she comes back down and hands

1520
01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:56.359
me a small gift wrapped box. Here, Felicia, Merry Christmas.

1521
01:49:57.359 --> 01:49:59.960
I accept the present and smile a little at Gabriel.

1522
01:50:01.119 --> 01:50:05.359
Then both father and daughter watch me unwrap the gift.

1523
01:50:06.079 --> 01:50:12.560
It's a small, red, velvety box. I'm already feeling my

1524
01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:17.439
emotions rising, which are only confirmed when I open the

1525
01:50:17.479 --> 01:50:23.720
box and see it, and I can't help it and cry.

1526
01:50:24.920 --> 01:50:30.640
Gabriel when I face him, he says, marry me, Felicia.

1527
01:50:31.479 --> 01:50:34.880
He takes my hand. You don't have to answer now.

1528
01:50:36.000 --> 01:50:40.560
I love you, MILLI loves you. We know you love us.

1529
01:50:42.159 --> 01:50:46.239
A marriage proposal on Christmas Day and Millie's part of it.

1530
01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:52.119
I really don't deserve this, Comic book nerds, I don't know.

1531
01:50:53.039 --> 01:50:56.600
Do any of you think I deserve this? I know

1532
01:50:56.720 --> 01:51:02.000
I gotta make a choice. Look, Gabriel, you realize if

1533
01:51:02.119 --> 01:51:05.520
I accept this ring, we're really gonna have to be

1534
01:51:05.640 --> 01:51:08.560
honest with each other. We won't be able to keep

1535
01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:14.079
secrets anymore. You know that. Right then, he pecks me

1536
01:51:14.199 --> 01:51:18.000
on the lips. Being secretive is what I love about you, baby.

1537
01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:21.199
But what I care about it is that you're always

1538
01:51:21.239 --> 01:51:25.399
honest with Milly, and you're gonna have to deal with mom.

1539
01:51:26.039 --> 01:51:29.439
Millie mutters, That's one thing I love about that little girl,

1540
01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:34.079
always telling me like it is. You know, Comic book nerds,

1541
01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:38.479
emotions are a very powerful thing. God gave us. They

1542
01:51:38.600 --> 01:51:43.840
can certainly make you do strange and unpredictable things. I

1543
01:51:43.960 --> 01:51:48.039
look right at Milly, then I'll deal with mom. I

1544
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:54.880
turn to Gabriel. Yes, Gabriel and Milly are both happy.

1545
01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:58.439
When he puts the engagement ring on my finger, I'm

1546
01:51:58.479 --> 01:52:01.720
still crying. I would never have met these two if

1547
01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:05.119
it wasn't for me getting my spider powers. I know

1548
01:52:05.319 --> 01:52:10.239
my pet Tarantula Creepy is upstairs in Millie's room. Oh,

1549
01:52:10.960 --> 01:52:15.159
you're really in big trouble now, my spider. But will

1550
01:52:15.239 --> 01:52:18.600
I be in big trouble down the road. I guess

1551
01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:21.279
that's gonna be the next phase of my life's journey.

1552
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:25.640
But for now, this part of my story is gonna

1553
01:52:25.680 --> 01:52:29.840
have to end here, well, at least until I appear

1554
01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:34.880
in another issue. In the meantime, all of you have

1555
01:52:35.079 --> 01:52:44.720
a very merry Christmas and be good to one another. Well,

1556
01:52:44.880 --> 01:52:47.560
my spookies, I hope you enjoyed that story as much

1557
01:52:47.560 --> 01:52:50.319
as I did. I actually got a little weepy eyed

1558
01:52:50.399 --> 01:52:53.640
there for a minute. I do love my Halloween, but boy,

1559
01:52:53.840 --> 01:52:57.920
does Christmas really hit different, especially if you have enough

1560
01:52:58.000 --> 01:53:02.039
vampires involved. Well, my friends, it's Christmas Eve, and I

1561
01:53:02.119 --> 01:53:04.239
hope that you are getting ready to spend some time

1562
01:53:04.680 --> 01:53:07.279
with some loved ones, or at the very least taking

1563
01:53:07.359 --> 01:53:10.199
care of yourself. And I will be back here tomorrow

1564
01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:13.800
with one more story of holiday horror to make sure

1565
01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:17.319
you have all the entertainment you may need to get

1566
01:53:17.359 --> 01:53:20.119
through a holiday. I hope everybody is prepared to have

1567
01:53:20.239 --> 01:53:22.760
a very good holiday. I hope you're spending it with

1568
01:53:22.840 --> 01:53:25.159
people you love, or at the very least, taking very

1569
01:53:25.239 --> 01:53:28.439
good care of yourself and getting ready to celebrate a

1570
01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:31.600
new year coming. You guys have all been a major

1571
01:53:31.640 --> 01:53:34.560
