Chapter 48: The Vampire Experiment
[Wednesday, Lesson 3 - Science]
"Let's do this team! Don't worry I am super sciences person."
I don't know why but I highly doubt Sean is a super sciences person. Maybe it's just me, but the fact that he doesn't know the word scientist is worrying. Although, he does look surprisingly good in a lab coat and goggles atop his head. I can already feel the girls staring at him.
"Fufufu… Silly Sean. You don't understand the true power of science. I shall take over this whole school with the power of SCIENCE. NOTHING CAN STOP ME! AHAHAHAHA!"
For once we are put together in a group for science and they act like idiots. Why must people do this? Can't we just have a normal science lesson?
"Are you trying to say that there is more to science than just a cool title?"
"Of course my young one. You see, with science, we can create things beyond our wildest dreams."
"Even catgirls?" I asked.
I could see the pain on Ethan's face as he wanted to continue with the sketch but didn't want to have to go along with me and say 'catgirls'. He was breathing through his teeth trying not to punch me.
"Yes, Owen. Even the cat… catgirls…" Ethan was defeated. He felt ashamed to have said such a thing. I felt like I had just achieved something far greater than anything I have ever done in my life.
"I shall start to work on the Diamonds. We shall create diamonds from nothing but this cotton!" Sean held up a piece of cotton wool in the natural beam of light that shined through the window, then proceeded to crush it in his hands with the force of a Norse god.
I have no idea what he is trying but if he thinks he can make diamonds like that then I guess it is kinda funny.
"Yes! Good work Sean!" Ethan said as he pat Sean's head "I shall start on the Death Ray! With these two things, we can Rule the School"
Diamonds and a death ray. The two things everyone in this world wants.
"But why should we stop at the school? Let's also get the whole world or even the UNIVERSE!"
Now they are thinking big. It's good to have a dream and I'm glad they are working together to accomplish their dreams. Seeing my babies grow up and chase their dreams is enough to bring a tear to my eye.
"Henchman!" Ethan growled.
Henchman? Who is he calling henchman? Does he mean me?
"Go and get me a flame from the sun! I need some heat for this DEATH RAY!"
I'm still not amused by their performance. I was when we were talking about catgirls but now that I'm working for them it's not funny anymore.
I went over to the cupboard and looked for a bunsen burner. It wasn't a difficult task. I don't know why he couldn't do it himself.
"Perfect! Thank you very much, my royale dog."
Royale dog?
"Now then, Sean, we have almost reached the final goal. BUT, we have one last hurdle."
"What is that, my lord? I shall slay anything that comes forth!"
Are they knights now? Perhaps alchemists? Maybe he planned to make the diamonds with alchemy? I feel like I've seen similar characters somewhere.
"What exactly is the hurdle?" I asked.
"Well! I'm glad you asked!"
This was like watching a pantomime, except all the cast are off their face on the strongest drugs they could find. If this doesn't end with them overdosing then I'm out.
"By the way Sean." I interrupted Ethan as the diamond situation was more important.
"How are the diamonds coming along?"
For the last five minutes, he was crushing the wool on any surface he could find. His hand, the table, Ethan's back. You name it, he tried it. His hands were starting to turn red from the pressure. He was only hurting himself.
"I think I'm almost there!"
Are you now?
"That's good to hear my minion!" Great, here comes the mad king scientist alchemist whose accent is slowly becoming like a vampire. Because the one thing this story was missing was vampires.
"Anyway! As I was saying about the hurdle! We need something very important!"
"What is it, my lord and saviour?"
This is getting weirder at every turn. At this point, I hope I'm dreaming.
"We need a BLUUD sacrifice."
Why did he say blood like that? He is slowly becoming more and more like a vampire. This dude's character development is insane.
"GASP. Not a BLUUD sacrifice." Oh no! Sean's been bitten! I better be careful. I hear stupidity is contagious.
"Yes… BLUUD!"
"BLUUD?"
"BLUUD!"
"Ok, we get it. You need Bluud, right?" Yuck. I'm infected. I didn't even have time to say my goodbyes.
"Yes! We shall have to kill one of you."
At this point, I want to nominate myself so I don't have to witness any more of this.
"I have created a simple task for both of you to do. Whoever fails or is slowest shall be the BLUDD SACrifice."
"Anything for you father," Sean got down on one knee and gently places a kiss on Ethan's hand, I looked at him with complete confusion. Ethan looked at me and was tilting his head as if he was trying to get me to do the same.
"Yeah. I'm not doing that."
"Very well! I shall tell you about the task! I wish for both of you to gather me some herbs."
Really? Is that it?
"You see, my wife recently fell very ill and I hope to cure her of her illness. I have never loved someone as I have loved her."
What is with this tragic backstory? Where is this coming from? I don't need all this backstory I just wanna lose on purpose so I can die.
"I'm sorry to hear about that, Oh great one. I hope that I can be of service and replace her. You won't be able to tell the difference."
Oh but I think he might, just maybe, be able to tell; just maybe one slight thing.
"That's ok, I appreciate it but I won't be needing your services, for today at least." Ethan raised an eyebrow at Sean who turned away, shyly.
Wow, this story is becoming fanfiction in front of my very eyes.
"Ok then! Go, Minions! Gather Herbs for me! REVIVE MY WIFE!"
What about the death machine and taking over the school? What happened to the diamonds? I was enjoying Sean's barbaric strength.
"But General," Sean said as he saluted, we have travelled through time and reached the first World War. "I have almost finished making the diamonds as you said."
"No need to worry! I shall take over whilst you are gone! NOW GO! THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE! SHE NEEDS BLUUD!"
Oh great the vampire accent is back. This is tiresome. Ethan was about to start crushing the wool in his hands, either he truly believes you can do it or Sean's stupidity rubbed off on him.
"Wait." I said.
"Let's just not bother with the task. Just kill me. take me as the sacrifice. I don't want to live in a world where you act like this. I shall be the one to sacrifice myself."
Professor Ethan was shocked and touched that someone would sacrifice themselves for his 'wife'. A single tear rolled down his face as he put his hand on my shoulder as a large smile came across his face.
"Oh, Owen. My dear Owen. Wonderful Owen."
Although I was about to die, it felt good. I was helping him with love and that is all you need.
"I don't need your BLUUD, it's too tainted."
W-wha… w… what?.... WHAT?
"WAIT! WHAT?! WAIT FOR A SECOND! MY BLOOD IS TAINTED? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! WHY MAKE US GO GET THE HERBS? WHY MAKE US EVEN GET THE HERBS TO REVIVE YOUR WIFE WITH A DEATH RAY?
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE DEATH RAY?
WHAT HAPPENED TO RULING THE SCHOOL?
WHY IS MY BLOOD ANY DIFFERENT FROM HIS?
WHY!!!
WHY ARE YOU CRUSHING COTTON WOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE!
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
JUST MAKE ME THE SACRIFICE!
END MY LIFE!
Sean, Ethan and the whole class stopped and watched my tantrum. I could hear Kaylee giggle and feel Ruby's cold stare on my back. I didn't want to turn around and see all their eyes. I could already feel the regret and pain wash over me.
The teacher sent me outside for the rest of the lesson and I had to write an apology letter as to why I disturbed the class. I don't know what it is with this teacher and letters but he seems to enjoy them. Maybe he has a pen pal that he writes to? Now I'm kinda curious about the teacher's life. I wonder why he burnt the last letter we gave him? Will he burn this one as well? Maybe if I'm lucky he'll burn me along with the letter. I can only hope...
I hope Ethan was able to revive his wife.
