12. …and the struggle continues!

"Peep, peep, peep" Sarah thought about where this sound could come from. There again: "Peep, peep, peep" "What could that be?" she wondered, turned around and opened her eyes...

There she saw something flash red on and out: 07:00. She groaned, "Oh for heaven's sake..." Then she turned the alarm off and rose up slowly. She scratched her head thoughtful and murmured, "Was everything perhaps just a dream? But it seemed so real to me... I'll ask Monsieur Londres after school about it..." With that she got dressed, had a quick breakfast and set off to school…

While she walked with her friends to Monsieur Londres she informed them about her dream. "...and then I woke up!" she just finished. "Oh, Sarah, don't you mean as well that this sounds a bit odd? I guess you maybe haven't bear the whole thing with Krakatau and his servants the day before yesterday and now you're worried about it!" Hannah meant. Sarah winced at these words. Hannah meant something like that also in her dream... "Please, you have to believe me... Yeah, I already know that this sounds odd, but the dream was so real..." Sarah tried to convince her friends.

They came to Monsieur Londres house in the meantime. When this let they in Sarah told him about her dream, too. He listened silent. When Sarah finished she watched him full of expectation.

"Well, Sarah, this phenomenon you reported, isn't unusual for the Slayer. I've read many reports from Watchers, which kept 'dream-diaries' of their Slayers. As you certainly know and feel the Slayer has special strengths. She's very special in herself. So it isn't surprising that she has other dreams. These dreams are often very real and you should take them very seriously. Besides they should be interpreted thorough." "Does that mean you believe me that this dream was very real?" Sarah asked surprised. "Yes of course I believe you! The dreams of the Slayer are taken very seriously. Mostly they predict the future or point at that at least. Do you remember at the dream of Valerie, one of the previous Slayers, don't you?" When Sarah nodded Monsieur Londres continued, "This dream didn't show you the future, but the past. But this had also a special meaning. It led you to your duty. So the dreams of the Slayer are a kind of a prophecy."

"Well, does it mean now with that dream that we will turn into vampires?" Alicia concluded from it. "Well, it doesn't have to mean this at all. It can mean something else as well. But I've never heard from a curse to turn someone into a vampire, without getting in touch with one before. I won't commit myself to it now, 'cause I will work on the interpretation." Monsieur Londres answered and turned to his books.

"But why should we turn into vampires? And above all 'how' if it doesn't work with a curse... I mean we're always very careful at the Hunting and by the way quite successful!" Michelle replied. When the others looked at her strangely she only shrugged and meant, "What? Well, tell me why we make such a fuss about it. Maybe it isn't anything and only wrong alarm. This could be, couldn't it? And we only sacrifice our precious time with the investigation of such a stupid dream. Sorry for that. But other things, maybe more important things, could get lost that way. Don't you think so? By the way it won't happen anything at all! Believe me!"

None of them suspected the least at this moment that this naive expressed remark by Michelle would have be taken seriously and it could come even worse...
