As Slayer went deeper into the village, Kaz, Ducky and Jelze went further into the hotel, their hearts beating like mad.

They entered a small chamber room at the front of the hotel where a reception desk was with a small bell on it. The floor was quite clean but there were numerous vampire sanded footprints positioned in one constant pattern that led into the next room. The chamber also led up to another floor with a set of red carpeted stairs with a golden edge all the way round.

‘Nice carpet!’ Kaz said as he walked into the room.

‘The footprints lead on to the other room,’ Ducky said, ‘shall we go in?’

‘Lets take a look,’ Jelze said as he followed the footprints. The next room was blinded with a set of blood red curtains so Jelze simply had a sneak peak through the middle of them. He made sure he wasn’t visible to the vampires inside. What he saw was horrific.

In the room were about a million or so vampires all standing in some kind of pattern. They were all staring at this strange pattern in the middle of the room. It was a circle with a star in the middle of it.

‘The apocalypse,’ Jelze said out loud, yet in a whisper.

‘What’s happening?’ Kaz asked.

Just as Jelze was about to reply the pattern on the floor began to glisten with bright eccentric colours. The vampires shielded their eyes from the light.

‘That makes sense,’ Ducky stated, now able to see too, ‘they hate light.’

‘So what do we do now?’ Jelze asked.

‘We thought you knew!’ Ducky said.

‘…’

‘Kaz have you got any ideas?’

‘…Err…’

‘Kaz are you…’ Ducky said turning round, to find a vampire clutching him by the neck and a gun pointing at his feathered head.

‘Any of you move and the bird becomes a bat, understand?’

They did even if it did sound daft. The vampire had been hiding behind the reception desk.



The vampire forced the three of them into the room full of vampires, still clutching Kaz around the neck.

‘Let go of me!’ he screamed at it.

‘Quiet, Kaz,’ Jelze said, ‘there’s nothing we can do now. We’re gonna be sacrificed.’

‘How do you know?’ Ducky asked.

‘The mark of the apocalypse, plus the fact they need energy to create the warp. They need life energy.’

Some other vampires came over and forced the three onto the mark of the apocalypse, which suddenly lit up with a tall round purple clear force field that prevented the three from escaping.

‘For your treachery you shall be sacrificed and used to get us into the present.’

‘That’s it!’ Ducky said, ‘that’s why Nebula told Rumbo about the vampires so he could USE US AS THE SACRIFICE!’

‘It was a trap!’ Jelze said, ‘but what about the ones in the future?’

‘I don’t know, Ducky, I don’t know…’

Suddenly the pattern on the floor lit up with a red colour.

‘It was nice knowing you all,’ Kaz said.

‘HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA!!!!!!!’ came a loud scream as Slayer broke through the roof and landed next to the force field. He clutched a very impressive flamethrower and a stern look in his eye.

‘The last patriot!’ one of the vampires shouted, ‘get him!!!!!’

As the vampires ran at him Slayer ignited the flamethrower and fired flame after flame onto each vampire. They screamed as they saw the light and screamed even louder when the flames spread across their bodies. It was like the scene at the end of the Alien film with the Alien and the eggs…beautiful to the hero’s eye.

Slayer stood in a quite impressive pose as all the vampires in the room were set alight and began to burn on the ground. The purple force field and the red colours on the pattern faded and disappeared.

‘Thanks, man!’ Jelze said as he stood out of the pattern.

‘Come on everyone!’ Slayer said, ‘we have to get to the roof, there’s a warp there that we can use…’

As they went out into the reception area they saw sand footprints heading up the stairs.

‘Oh no!’ Ducky said, ‘they’re going after the warp!’

‘Let’s go!’ Slayer said.

‘Kaz, fly up to the roof and see what you can find. We’ll meet you there!’ Jelze ordered

‘Right!’ he said as he left the chamber and flew off into the sky.

‘Stick together, team!’ Slayer said as they went up the stairs after the vampires.

When they had reached the top of the stairs, on the second floor, they found that the lift was in use.

‘Ducky, go with Slayer up the stairs!’ Jelze said, ‘I’ll stay here and try to stop the lift.’

‘Don’t play hero, Jelze!’ Slayer said.

‘Look I’m gonna prove myself as TIME’s Guardian, so let me do this!’

‘Okay, Jelze. Ducky lets go!’

Ducky and Slayer continued up another flight of stairs.

Jelze forced open the lift doors and looked up to the see the lift was indeed heading up. The cable that went up with the lift dangled underneath and went up with it. Jelze saw the cable an jumped for it, only just managing to clutch it. He started to climb up the cable as the lift went closer to the top.



Kaz had just got to the top and saw the warp, yet no vampires were about. They were in the lift. Kaz landed by the warp and waited. If the other’s failed it would be up to him to stop them…



As Ducky and Slayer went up the stairs they saw more footsteps. Slayer drew out a stake as a massive vampire came out and attacked them; colliding with Slayer and knocking him back. Ducky went over to Slayer and helped him up.

‘Kill it for me, Ducky!’ Slayer said as he suddenly passed out.

‘Oh no,’ Ducky said as the vampire came closer….



Jelze had now climbed up so he was about a metre underneath the ascending lift. He drew out his blaster and fired at the bottom of the lift, creating a massive hole. Three out of seven vampires fell through, one hitting Jelze and almost knocking him off the cable. The other four vampires, like the other three, carried blasters and fired down at Jelze. Jelze got hit on the foot yet he persevered. He fired up at them as foot bled severely.

‘AAAAAAHHHHH!’ Jelze screamed as he took out a grenade and threw it into the lift. He then saw a lone cable that wasn’t moving close by and he jumped for it, leaving the lift to continue heading up. After a while the lift exploded, killing all the vampires and destroying the lift. It became detached from the top cables and so began to fall down, towards Jelze.

‘Crap!’ Jelze shouted as he began sliding down the cable as a burning lift came plummeting after him. Jelze used his blaster and shot at one of the lift doors below, causing it to explode open. As he became vertical with it he threw himself off the cable and went for the lift door. As he jumped the lift became ever so close. Just as Jelze clambered through the lift door the lift catapulted past it, meaning that Jelze would have only had a split second left to stay alive. Jelze laid there, out of breath and completely shattered……..





I think thats the best bit of the story so far, dont ya think? What do you think the best bit was?
