5. FEAST

[hismasterpiece]

[Voice]

Hallo, pretty New Feathers! I am hosting a feast. A feast by the lake to the West.

[Not the southern lake -- she needs to keep certain peoples' attention away from the lonely house she inhabits there.]

You are all invited! I have prepared something for you. It tastes of mint and chicory and iron! Yarrow and tansy! It will make you stronger.


Come.

Drusilla will be stalking about the woods as usual, eager to assist anyone who HASN'T heeded her invitation.

There is a cage waiting there, hidden under the trees. It is large enough to house a full-grown adult human.

It tastes of mint and iron.

[Mulder has his hand hovering just above his gun as he pauses to listen to that creepy singing. It just makes him feel better knowing that his weapon is right there, though he's well aware that'll be useless where a vampire is concerned. The holy water, on the other hand...]

...I'm hoping this is going to be a version with a surprise ending.

[Like, say, the last little Indian being an FBI Agent who saves the day? Maybe? No?]

XD

The surprise is that they all die, beautiful one -- but one comes back. He comes back to life, crawls out of his grave, and lives forever.

Does that not sound like a fetching plan?

[She dries her feet on the mossy bank of the lake.]

Aren't we already doing that in this world? We're revived when we die anyway...

[He's not looking to try death, really! ...Well, maybe he's always had just a touch of morbid curiosity about the experience, but he isn't exactly looking to test it out.]
