Blackblood

Chapter 15: The Twin Witches

Morgana's robes brushes against the marble floors, picking up dried herbs and flowers on the way to her potion lab. She'd been working in a new elixir to assist the vampires withstand sunlight. Unfortunately, her recent attempts were disastrous. She had already killed two new vampire fledglings.

"Ooops," Morgana whispered clucking her tongue. She was running out of ideas, and she had already used a dozen mixes of exotic herbs from all over the world. The Ancient lycans are rumored to have figured out the secret recipe, which is just a rumor. No one really witnessed the Ancients creating such an elixir to help the vampires.

Its a myth.

Morgana knew better than to believe such things were possible, but one never really knew the truth with those Ancients. 

Morgana thought of using oddities, like bunny tails or four leaf clovers...things humans believe bring goodluck to see if would bring the vampires goodluck too...ouch! wrong...wrong! the bunny tail elixir made the first vampire specimen grow a bunny tail, ears, and bigger fangs. Worst, it grew hair all over...like a huge walking bunny vampire. Disaster! The four leaf clover was not any better either. The vampire turned green, like a real life Hulk...desiring to crush things and sip on green juice all day long. Her third attempt held a mix of blood, human and vampire mixing it with the hair of a white wolf. Little Ana was such an asset to the witches , somehow she knew this tiny piece of hair would be of use for the elixir.

Morgana decided to inject the elixir into the vampire this time, instead of ingesting it. She sat back furrowing her eyebrows and squinting her eyes. 

The vampire sat yawning, not worried about a tiny prick of blood serum entering his arm. Delicious...he thought.

Morgana kept observing him, blinking and starring at him through her magnifying glass. His veins started to bulging above the skin, all over its body. The vampire didn't scream in pain, the skin if possible got some color..a bit rosy. Was the skin regenerating back to its human nature? Morgana stood transfixed. 

Suddenly, the vampire began to tear at his throat with its vampire claws. Morgana opened her mouth in horror, out gushed spurts and spurts of rancid blood from inside the vampires intestines. Morgana's nose twitched at the smell, pinching her nose with her fingers. In the next minutes, Morgana lifted the window curtain to let in the sunlight directly falling onto the vampire. At first the vampire just lay there spurting blood through it neck and mouth. The sun left open wilts but the vampire didn't turn into ash.

Morgana called for her sister, Sabrina. 

Sabrina appeared in Morgana's little science lab, the stench was overpowering. It reminded Sabrina of the smell of burning corpses in Hell.

"What is it, sister?" Sabrina choked trying not to vomit her tequila.

Morgana amazed by her latest creation swung her arms towards the vampire half dead, half alive withering beneath the sunlight rays. Sabrina got closer to her sister's pet specimen. 

"WHAT IS THIS!!!" Sabrina knew her sister was always the wackiest sibling. Playing around with her elixirs and magic spells...what has she done!

"Sabrina, LOOK at vampire number 3!!! he is withstanding the sunlight..." Morgana looks amazed the excitement is making her float around the lab unaware her robes are tearing at places as they get caught on various objects.

Sabrina looks closer. The skin is burned, but its minimal. The worst is the gash on its throat that seems to be closing slowly, its covered in clotting blood that reeks. It's veins are bulged so far out its skin they resemble thick tree branches. Sabrina sighed, her sister is obsessed with creating the elixir for immortal bloodsuckers to walk in sunlight.

Sabrina has always been against this, it will disturbed the balance. Eventually, she conceded to Morgana's idea. The rise of the Lycans meant the vampires couldn't stop them in daylight. The disadvantages grew more as Carlotta's cult kidnapped other witches, turning them into their disciples. The Witch Coven lost half it's witch population to Carlotta's cult. How she managed to do this while at the asylum is a mystery. Sabrina speculated if an inside staff member assisted her, it was the only way she could've escaped the asylum as a prisoner.

"Morgana, even if you aren't successful with the vampire elixir, I spoke to Lucifer. He will assist us." Sabrina needed anther shot of tequila. This giant lab of her sister's had no drinking alcohol, how disappointing!

Morgana kept her eyes on her new pet. Fiddling with her magnifying glass. Sabrina doesn't know if her sister is even listening.

She sat down, rubbing her temples and trying to tame the headache. What if the elixir worked, still walking vampires in sunlight didn't guarantee they could defeat the Lycans. Not if Carlotta managed to generate the four blood hybrid, the hybrid would destroy all in its path. It would be an advantage however, and this is why Sabrina agreed. 

Somehow the mention of Lucifer brought Morgana out of her stupor. "Lucifer, why would that asshole help the white witches stop Carlotta!?! He stopped us from keeping Anna alive!" Morgana huffed, poking her pet vampire to see if he twitched or got up. The more sunlight it was getting, the more its skin was turning red.

Sabrina turned to her sister, "He can't go back on his promise, otherwise he looses Anna. Anna will stay forever in Heaven if he doesn't protect her children. That was his bargaining with the God in Heaven for permission to have his bride. Anyways, he wants Carlotta's soul in Hell. That much I sensed from the mention of her name. Carlotta tricked him once, and I suspect Lucifer is banking on having her prisoner in his enternal Hell yard as punishment." Morgana clapped her hands together startling Sabrina.

"What the heck! Why are you clapping!" Sabrina asked, holding her head in her hands.

"The vampire, it's dead." Morgana lifted its eye lids, poked open its half healed throat gash. Wincing, she took a lighter to light the vampire on fire. In seconds, the vampire turned into ash.

Sabrina sat up, ready to go back to her apartment. Morgana shrugged, "The things I do in the name of science and magic, now sister! About Lieutenant Victtorio..." she sat next to Sabrina smiling. 

Ugghhh..."what about him?" she said through her teeth.

Morgana smiled wider, "You DO realize I can FEEL when your frolicking with him!" Sabrina grasped asking, "How long have you KNOWN!?!" frowning, she gets up and starts pacing the room.

"Oh, sister I'm so happy for you!!! When can I call him brother-in-law?!" Morgana, a constant chatterbox.

Sabrina walks up to her sister, lips in a thin line, she yells..."NEVER!!!" and quickly disappears into the air.

Morgana knew it! Sabrina not only had s*x with that hunky vampire but is infatuated. Well, now that her sister knows that she knows Sabrina will block Morgana from knowing when he's with her. 

Oh my gosh, thank you! So gross tapping into her twin sister's s*x life.

Morgana grabs her broomstick and flies from her castle tower into the woods. 

I have my own dirty  little secrets...

Morgana laughs.
