Captain Fabulous??
Mr. Harris got a call from Twitch. Apparently a guy he knew from class had been murdered in Smith Hall. It was really grisly, like he had been hacked apart with an axe or sword of some kind. This really upset me because I had been through campus on patrol last night and didn't see a thing. I decided then to spread my patrol through some of the main buildings to make sure nothing bad happens.
After my class I went back to Morrow and found Ramone talking to Mr. Harris about a magical aura he sensed near the murder scene. I was hoping this would be a good opportunity to spend some time with him, but as I walked in the door Ramone got up, stated that he was off to do more investigating, then walks right past me without saying a word. I don't know what's going on with him, he's "Captain Mix-Signals." This is so frustrating.
To take my mind off things I helped Mr. Harris with research about magical constructs, which he suspects might be what Ramone might have sensed. We also got some more weird developments from Twitch. Apparently there were these 3 nerdy guys that Sean was known to hang out with, and they were really giving this other classmate a hard time about his biology project. Twitch also felt that they really weren't that broken up about what had happened to Sean. He's not sure if it's connected to anything, but in this town anything is possible.
When it started getting dark I went patrolling through some of the buildings on campus, and after finding nothing I decided to implement plan 'Alpha Zeta'. You see, I haven't' been finding many vampires out at the cemetery or on campus lately, so I decided to try a new tactic from my theory that vampires are probably most likely to go after helpless sorority girls hanging out in clubs. So I stopped at my apartment real quick, and changed into the hottest red dress I had in my wardrobe. I also put on some strong perfume since vamps have a pretty good sense of smell. Then I went to the Impulse over on 4th avenue. I sat at the bar for a while and ordered a virgin drink, hoping that some vampire would come up and hit on me. I wasn't quite sure how I would figure out if it was a vampire or not, but Mr. Harris did tell me something about how I'd eventually be able to 'sense' it. I tried my best to 'sense' the room, but all I got was one horrible pick up line after another or some babbling drunk frat boy trying to hang all over me. Ick. I was starting to appreciate the calm silence of Ramone. Just about when I was thinking of giving up, 3 fairly nerdy looking guys, who could only be the 3 guys that Twitch had described to us before, walked in. I decided to move to a table next to them and keep an eye on their conversation.
I only got snippets since the dance music was so loud, but apparently they had come here to get their minds off Sean's death. However, one of the guys seemed really nervous, kept bringing the topic up to the annoyance of his friends. I just watched out of the corner of my eye as he kept getting more and more nervous and upset, like he was fearing something.....
Then something made the hackles rise on the back of my neck. I turned around to see what gave me that funny feeling and I saw 3 girls walk in and head over to the dance floor. They were vampires! They had to be. I didn't know why I thought they were, I just felt it in my gut. Maybe this is what Mr. Harris was talking about.
Then the one guy that had been acting really strange bolted up from the table and insisted on leaving. For a moment I was a bit torn because I wanted to follow these guys and see what was up, but then I also wanted to make sure that those 3 she vamps didn't get an evening meal that night. Unfortunately, my 'dilemma' was solved when after the 3 nerdy fellows left the bar the 3 vamps followed after them! I left some change on the table and followed suit.
I caught up to the group in time and managed to distract the vampires from the 3 guys. Luckily, they didn't know that I was a slayer so I caught them off guard a bit. Still it was tough going. They were pretty vicious and I was hard pressed to keep them from getting the upper hand. Just as they started pulling out knives, from out of nowhere lands this guy in a garishly colored leotard and mask. Everyone, including the vamps, stops and stares at this. I used the opportunity to smack down the vamp behind me. I finally finish dusting the first two, in time to see the (superhero???) say something very corny and dust the 3rd. He then turns to me, introduces himself as "Captain Fabulous!" and after handing me a card flies off into the air. What the---? Who was that flambouyantly masked man, and where did he get those cards of his made, they're really good. The shocking weirdness of it all distracted me from noticing that the 3rd nerdy guy had run off until I heard this sickening scream. I ran around the corner to see him fall onto the ground clutching his chest. Someone had stabbed him! I immediately called 911 on my cell and tried to stave off the bleeding. This was too much. I mean, I was there, I saved them from the vampires, this shouldn't have happened. It was then that Mr. Harris and Twitch and Ramone arrived, soon followed by the paramedics.
He was still alive when they got him onto the ambulance thank god. I felt so horrible, I was shaking a bit. Twitch tried to make me feel better, saying that I can't be everywhere at once, that I still do a lot of good. I appreciated it, but it still didn't make me feel better. I mean I was right there. They should've been safe. I hope he's ok. I think whoever's doing this is targeting this group of people. I need to watch them, to protect them somehow. I just can't seem to keep people alive in this town!
