When One Door Closes — Arial Mirren Faces a Vampire from Her Past
(00:00:00) When One Door Closes — Arial Mirren Faces a Vampire from Her Past
(00:00:11) The Return of Ariel Mirren
(00:01:01) A New Threat Emerges
(00:03:07) The Charity Event
(00:10:17) A Hero's Call to Action
(00:13:54) Confronting the Past

(00:25:43) A Promise of Vigilance
Arial Mirren saved the multiverse and inherited Queen Arcadia’s powers; now a vampire attack at a Strickfield charity event draws her into a battle over those abilities.
Still shaken by the alternate vampire Earth, Arial is watching a Make-A-Wish fundraiser inside Strickfield Towne Centre Mall when an elderly woman transforms, attacks security, and seizes a child. Arial uses Arcadia’s fire, light, flight, and electrical powers to intervene. The attacker leads her beneath the mall, where Arial recognizes her birth mother Adrian—rapidly aging, newly vampiric, and determined to steal the power that once guaranteed her immortality.
Rob Fields’ supernatural follow-up to Portals brings Arial’s family betrayal back into the present while revealing more about Adrian’s bargain with Queen Arcadia and the creation of The Virtua. The showdown also opens a new door between worlds, confronting Arial with an unexpected version of the mother she never had and the possibility that even one of Strickfield’s cruelest figures could seek atonement.
“When One Door Closes” by Rob Fields.
The story keeps When One Door Closes at its center, combining vampire horror, and love, family, and betrayal without losing the people, setting, and immediate threat that make the premise distinct.

at Weekly Spooky at gmail dot com. But now, as
33
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.400
for tonight, they say, once you close a door, another
34
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.759
one opens. But what if the door that opens leads
35
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:46.400
somewhere dark, somewhere twist it somewhere you were never meant
36
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.400
to go. Well, Tonight's story is about a girl trying
37
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.240
to build a new life, a hero, a survivor, someone
38
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.520
who's faced monsters in more worlds than one. But the
39
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.639
past does and stay buried, and the people who are
40
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.520
supposed to love us the most become the ones we
41
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.080
fear the most. So get comfortable. We're telling that story
42
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:26.599
after this when one door closes by Rob Fields, I'm
43
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.599
hanging out here at Strickfield Town Center Mall. I'll be honest,
44
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.000
I haven't quite been the same since coming back from
45
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.560
the Vampire Universe. I know I helped save the entire
46
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:48.840
multiverse from Mayor Patrick Gunter and myself. I still can't
47
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.000
believe that I was just as responsible for bringing that
48
00:03:53.080 --> 00:04:01.039
apocalypse about. Okay, not exactly me, my Vampire Universe counterpart.
49
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.680
I keep remembering what Vampire Me said about how that
50
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.199
universe happened. Believe me, I remember everything that happened between
51
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.879
my mother, Adrian Miron, and me back in December. But
52
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.560
to think Vampire Me snapped to where she helped Gunter
53
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.879
conquer her world by going to the extremes she did
54
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:31.720
is mind numbing. Let's be honest, I really wanted revenge
55
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.560
on Adrian. The more I thought about it, the more
56
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.600
I asked myself, why obsess over this? Yes, Queen Arcadia
57
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.279
possessed me as her vessel. Going further, I know I
58
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.600
can never be thankful enough that the Donnerly family took
59
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.079
me in. They even took full custody of me when
60
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.360
Adrian washed her hands of me. Go figure she couldn't
61
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.920
get rid of me through Queen Arcadia, so ultimately she
62
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.199
did it in a more farious and far more devious
63
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:07.879
way legally. To be honest, I've never felt more free
64
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.439
in my life. I don't have to live up to
65
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.040
Adrian's expectations anymore. I can make my own destiny and
66
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.519
be my own dominant mirn, just like Brian Chunk once
67
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:24.000
told me, being my own dominant Mirn took on a
68
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.199
whole new meaning in that vampire universe. When I discovered
69
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.560
my new powers back in December. When I overthrew Queen
70
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.839
Arcadia from my body, all I did was get rid
71
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.680
of her. Her powers stayed with me. I've been practicing
72
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.680
more with using them. Where do you go after helping
73
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:51.279
save the entire multiverse? The truth is Cousin Felicia has
74
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.000
been a real inspiration to me. She told me she's
75
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.120
been trying to be more like Cousin Charity Felicia said,
76
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.279
I can make our in name means something positive instead
77
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.199
of its meaning being the top one percent of the
78
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.639
top one percent. I've been sitting here near Center Court.
79
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.800
There's a charity event scheduled there tonight. All the seats
80
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.240
set up are full. I can see everything from my
81
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.240
bench just outside the food court near Boble Topia. There's
82
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.160
applause as Cousin Charity, who organized this event, is at
83
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.439
the podium to say a few words. Cousin Harmony, the
84
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:38.360
owner of this mall, is right beside her. Charity organized
85
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.120
this event to help raise money for our chapter of
86
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.040
the Make a Wish Foundation. To be honest, I really
87
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.959
have never met cousin Charity, but I can honestly say
88
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.480
I have a great deal of respect for her. Then
89
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.560
I get upset over how many times I remember Adrian
90
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:03.920
saying nothing but bad things, her speaking of bad Ever
91
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.120
since coming back from the Vampire universe, It's like, I
92
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:13.199
don't know, I'm having these feelings, like I'm being watched.
93
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.000
I know I'm here at the mall where really anybody
94
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.240
can see me, but I'm getting that feeling again. Mouse
95
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.560
isn't here with me, but whenever she feels something in
96
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.240
the pit of her tummy, she calls it her mousey sense.
97
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.000
I think my best friend and surrogate's sister is rubbing
98
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.639
off on me because I've been feeling my own intuition.
99
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.839
Then I have a sudden thought and wonder if by
100
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.839
chance any of those vampires might have followed me here
101
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.319
from their universe. Believe me, we six were all in
102
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.079
agreement about not seeing the last of the vampire universe.
103
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.360
I'd like to think that maybe my boyfriend Carter Cross
104
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.839
might be looking to surprise me or something. No, Carter's
105
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.120
definitely not somebody who would make me feel the way
106
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.000
I'm feeling right now. I chuckle to myself when I
107
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.519
realize I'm thinking like mouse again when I pull out
108
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.680
my compact. No, I'm definitely not summoning Mary Worth the
109
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.160
way she does. I look back and forth from the
110
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.639
mirror to the crowd. Then I gasp when I see
111
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.160
the person sitting in an aisle seat, or rather it's
112
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:35.159
what I don't see. The woman there is not casting
113
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.120
a reflection. Seriously, what would a vampire be doing here
114
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:45.039
at a charity fundraiser. I've been seeing Miranda Mason Phillips,
115
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.440
the head reporter of the Strickfield Journal, moving around and
116
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.200
taking pictures. Come to think of it, every time Mason
117
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.039
Phillips gets close to the woman vampire, she gets swatted away.
118
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:03.159
No pictures. The woman yells and this time swats the
119
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.559
reporter's camera away When Mason Phillips demands to know what
120
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.960
her problem is. The woman loses it and scares everybody
121
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.559
by springing to her feet and vamping out. Charity's trying
122
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.759
to help get everybody out of Harm's way. When Harmony
123
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.320
sends her security guards to stop the impostor, the vampire
124
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.480
woman grabs and flings them away like they're nothing. When
125
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.159
I see the vampire grab hold of a little girl,
126
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.480
that's when I feel deep down that I need to
127
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.639
do something. I get up and sneak over to get
128
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.399
behind an empty kiosk, making sure nobody sees me. I
129
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:47.039
open my backpack. I don't exactly have a superhero costume,
130
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.960
but I can improvise on the fly. I pull out
131
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.200
my hoodie and a nail file and work fast. I
132
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.320
cut the hood off my hoodie and make a makeshift mask.
133
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.919
When I'm finished, I put it on and use the
134
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.679
draw strings to secure it tightly. I put the rest
135
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.600
of the hoodie on over my T shirt and zip up.
136
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:13.039
Now that I'm sort of costumed, I use my Christmas
137
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.279
powers to make my transparent red discs appear underneath my feet.
138
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.360
It's still mind blowing that I've got these powers, but
139
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:26.000
flying is my favorite thing about them. Now that I'm airborne,
140
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.679
I fly right at the vampire. Woman put that girl down, bloodsucker,
141
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:36.320
I yell, boy, she sure has chalk white hair. When
142
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.200
she turns my way, I stun her with my eyebeams
143
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.200
to make her let the little girl go. Her mother
144
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.480
takes her child and runs. The vampire doesn't stay stunned
145
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.879
for long. She's quickly back on her feet and looking
146
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.919
right up at me. Now she's got this look that's
147
00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:02.960
either crazed or determined. Who knows. She kind of looks old.
148
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.919
The vampire turns into a wolf and runs away fast.
149
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.159
I turn and chase the wolf down. When it reaches
150
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.799
a trash can, it becomes the old woman again. She
151
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.399
easily picks up the can and throws it right at me. Likewise,
152
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.279
I easily dodge it. You should have let it hit you,
153
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.639
little one, she tells me. Look behind you.
154
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.240
Don't go away weakly. Spooky will be right back.
155
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.120
I turn and see I've made a rookie mistake. That
156
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.720
trash can is heading right for innocent people at center Court.
157
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.759
I'm frustrated, but I can't let my mistake hurt people.
158
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.200
I turn around and fly fast. When I'm close enough
159
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.480
to the can, I make a wall of light appear
160
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.639
in front of it. The can hits the wall and
161
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:05.840
fall to the floor. Nobody gets hurt, knowing everybody's okay,
162
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.399
I turn in time to see ah, No, Miranda Mason
163
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.559
Phillips retrieved her camera and just snapped a picture of me. Great.
164
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.039
I really don't want to be on the front page
165
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.960
of our paper. Ah. I can't worry about her right now.
166
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.240
I turn back around and go chase down that vampire
167
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.879
woman again. Okay, I'm a little irked by that reporter,
168
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.240
but it's what that vampire said to me that really
169
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.399
bugs me. You should have just taken the hit, little one,
170
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:45.519
and then I know exactly who the vampire is. Likewise,
171
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:51.080
she knows exactly who I am. I fly faster now, Seriously,
172
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.759
I am so sick and tired of that woman still
173
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.840
haunting me. When I reached best Buy at the end
174
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.440
of the mall, I turned to the corridor and see
175
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.240
one of the ex doors is propped open. The vampire
176
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.840
wants me to follow her. I'm probably letting an experience show,
177
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:12.759
but I can't just let her go. I fly down
178
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.639
the corridor and out through the door. Soon, I see
179
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.039
her standing at the entrance of the under Mole parking garage.
180
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.679
When she knows I'm seeing her, she turns and heads inside.
181
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.200
I have the feeling I'm being led into a trap.
182
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.600
I'm not mouse, but the vampire seeks to trap me
183
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.480
just like one. When I fly into the garage, I
184
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.200
enable my infrared sight to see better in the dimly
185
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:46.159
lit areas. I see the vampire easily and approach slowly.
186
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.720
I know it's you, Adrian, Miron. I yell, You're the
187
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.799
only one I know who calls me little one. My
188
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:02.559
birth mother comes forward. Wow. I don't understand why she
189
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.840
looks as old as she does. She must have aged
190
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.480
a good twenty five years since she kicked me out
191
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:13.200
of the mansion. At least it was only a matter
192
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.679
of time before you'd return to me. Aerial renaissance. Miron.
193
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.679
She points right at me. I'm taking those powers back.
194
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:27.200
They don't belong to you. Clearly she can see my
195
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:32.519
look of confusion about her age. But isn't she a vampire? Now?
196
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.360
I cast a spell to absorb a vampire's essence and
197
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:44.240
restore my youth, if you must know, Adrian snaps. Unfortunately,
198
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:48.879
the essence is fading. Only Queen Arcadia's powers and essence
199
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.440
can restore me, which you have. She suddenly raises her
200
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.759
clawed hands. I will reclaim them from you, little one.
201
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.080
I raise my fists and make red and green fire
202
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.960
burn from them. Thankfully, the fire doesn't burn me. You
203
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.799
want my powers, try and take them. I'll never return
204
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.080
them to you. Why Adrian, why do you have to
205
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:23.360
be so so so greedy? Those are the mere and ways,
206
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:29.639
little one, she replies, shifting into a wolf. When she
207
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.039
jumps at me, I throw a fireball and miss. Then
208
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.480
I remember my time back in the Vampire universe when
209
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:41.799
cousin Felicia told me to not fire blindly. I focus
210
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.759
and throw the second fireball to repel Adrian. She yipes
211
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.840
and falls onto her side. I fire my eyebeams, but
212
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.000
she turns away quickly. As she shifts into a bat.
213
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.720
She comes at me again and hits me to knock
214
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.200
me off my discs Now, I'm flat on my back
215
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.399
and feeling a little winded, but I can still move. Suddenly,
216
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.639
my former mom is right on top of me. I'm
217
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.360
taking those powers back, little one, she growls. You have
218
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.879
been the bane of my existence for the last time.
219
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.720
Then she gasps and feels her face. I'm still using
220
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.799
my infrared site and see Adrian's skin aged a good
221
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.120
ten to fifteen years more. Now she'll take the Queen
222
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.080
Arcadia powers away from me to restore her youth. Knowing
223
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:40.279
how Adrian is, she can never be trusted with those powers.
224
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.799
The story of Adrian Well, she had gifted intelligence and
225
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.200
learned far more than she should have about computer coding.
226
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.480
She could make codes so advanced that she may have
227
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.840
been the one who pioneered virtual reality. Her code was
228
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.679
used to create three prototype consoles called the Virtua. This
229
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.279
was back during the golden years of home video game consoles.
230
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.240
By the way, the Virtua was far more powerful than
231
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.519
then current arcade hardware and made consoles like the Atari
232
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.599
twenty six hundred, the Intellivision, and the Caliko Vision look
233
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.839
like Pong and the game that came bundled in the
234
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:27.400
Virtua Christmas Arcadia. The graphics were so unbelievably realistic you'd
235
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.440
swear everything you were looking at was real. You could
236
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.119
even touch things in Christmas Arcadia and feel how real
237
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:40.039
they were. Even the wind and cold felt real. Why
238
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.599
was the Virtua never ultimately released simple. The computer world
239
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.640
didn't want to give that kind of credit to a female.
240
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.960
Things have changed since then, but that's how times were.
241
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.279
Since Adrian was rejected, she implemented a software patch to
242
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:04.559
literally bring Queen Arcadia, the game's central character, to life.
