Clover smiled inwardly at the humor of standing right in front of Mindy and her not being able to tell.
Then, she spoke happily and matter-of-factly, being her old self again for a while, "Certainly not, Mindy. I've already turned you into our slave. It would be a waste to turn you into a vampire now, after all the trouble I went through."
She turned to her friends, quirking an eyebrow and smiling, "Koln? Ruby? Would you like to help me convince her?" ^.^
Koln sighs and steps forward, removing his hat and placing it on the table to his left. "Guard yourself Mindy... when a mortal sees the devil their soul is forever tainted. Granted, you are pretty much guaranteed an afterlife of eternal damnation for cohorting with our kind, but nevertheless. Lower your eyes if you must, or raise them to the heavens. Only look forward if your faith is pristine and strong. Fear if you must, fear is the same as faith in the end, but if you have any doubt, look away. For I will prove to you that I am of the same ilk as the demonic beings that drift and hunt in the night. This I will do by going against God, nature, and science by appearing before you not as a man, but as a bat!"
What goes on in Koln's head!
[sblock] Before the scared girl could whimper an objection, Koln loudly cries out in a scream so loud and pathetic that the angels hear and weep in torment and shame. He falls onto his knees, his arms crossed over his chest as tears of blood stream from his eyes and onto the floor in the shape of a perfect crimson circle. Soon his clothes, skin, and blood, all give way in disheveled heaps upon the floor on either side of him, all of it breaking apart to reveal the dark gore-matted furry creature underneath. His face follows, splitting away into two sides. The creature formerly known as Koln grips the skin and rips it away. The beast lets out one more painful cry as its body violently moves itself, limb by limb, into the disposition of a bat. The screams of the beast and the sound of bones cracking, dislocating, twisting, and relocatiing, fills the room at a maddening volume.
Soon all goes silent, as the monstrous 6 foot tall bat sits in the corner, eyeing each one of them from behind its ghastly claws, covering his disjointed and grotesque visage of a "face," complete with long scaley snout and watery yet sunken reddish brown eyes. The foul creature stands, his body a disgusting combination of man and bat, a mockery of creation suitable of the Devil himself.
They are alarmed at what sounds like a loud crack followed by a 'whhish' as his large black webbed wings rip from out of his shoulderblades and connecting into his wrists, the boney tips piercing through his flesh as if one were to connect a kite around its frame. In a powerful flutter the beast is gone, soaring out the window and disappearing into the black night sky, leaving the girls to pray in vain for the well-being of the innocents of Denver.[/sblock]
Meanwhile, while Koln is thinking the above, he does a belly-flop onto the floor and wildly flutters-no, flails about on the floor saying "Tweettweettweettweet! Wow, everyone looks like carpet lint from this high... tweetweetweet!"
