now belong to me once again. For tonight, your life is the one that will end!”
                  She looked up at Kreel with disbelief in her eyes.
                  “I promised you Maggie, your life would end by my own hand.”
                  “How dare you try to manipulate me!” screamed the vampire
                  Kreel watched as she stood and glared at him with a fire in her eyes that burned more brightly than he had ever seen it before. The vampire was angry with no sign of the powder working as the old woman had promised. The plan had failed. He backed away from the demon, and with each step that she came forward, her balance began to wither. The powder was working after all, just a little slower than he had hoped.
                  She lowered her head as if to fight the effects of the powders drug. “Tonight, I will not die alone my love.” Then she lunged at Kreel.
                 
                  Charlie had been hiding in the bushes back by the mausoleum when he spotted the moon reflecting its glow off of something that lay on the ground. As the old man got a better look, he suddenly realized that it was actually his bottle of whiskey that he had lost when he had been attacked. A smile broke across old Charlie’s face as he reached for the bottle. That is when he heard the wails of the vampire; the plan had not gone as Kreel had planned.
                  As Charlie peered around the bush to get a better view, he saw the vampire lunging for Kreel. He had promised that he would not interfere, but Kreel was his friend and the only person in the entire world that he had. Gathering up his strength, the old man opened up the bottle and placed it to his lips.
                  Charlie could feel the whiskey renewing his strength. It revitalized him like it never had before. Charlie felt alive!
                  Charlie’s body began to shake as those two large ears stood up and came to a point. Below the surface of his lips, two fangs began to sprout.
    Chapter Twenty
     
                  Maggie had Kreel on the ground. His strength was no match for the demon. She glared down as she hovered over him. Her mate had betrayed her and now expected to take her life. Now that she knew she had really lost him, she had no more want of living, only she would not be leaving this life alone, she would take Kreel with her. Her eyes flashed with fire that heated the hatred she felt in her heart.
                  As she lunged for Kreel’s throat, she suddenly pulled her body up and howled with pain. Latched to her ass was Charlie holding on for dear life by the jaws of his mouth. Maggie ran and tried to push the old man away from her, but old Charlie refused to let go. Only when the powder had worked its magic and finally brought the vampire to her knees did he finally release his grip on her.
                  Backing away from the vampire, Charlie scurried over to Kreel whose eyes were wide as he could not believe what he had just seen. Kreel was still taking in the transformation that had come over the old man as Charlie held out his hand to help his old buddy up. “Charlie, what the hell happened to you?” he asked. Then Kreel just shook his head and reached out and pulled the old man into a bear hug. “Oh hell Charlie, I don’t care what happened to you.”
                  Smiling, Charlie’s eyes just beamed. “I couldn’t let her hurt you Kreel, even though I didn’t do what you said.”
                  “Charlie, for once I am glad that you didn’t listen to me.” Then he remembered the vampire lying on the ground, followed by the memory of the old woman’s words. “She will only sleep for a short time.”
