"Katie's Birthday Gifts"
----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Katie took out a royal purple bottle from a hidden bottom in the top dresser and
walked to her bed. She picked up her cobra that was sleeping peacefully on it,
kissed it, and set it back down where it was. Then the door opened and Knows-a-
lot walked in.
"So what can be so important that you had to get me out of a very good dream?"
he said as he sat on the bed.
"It's officially tomorrow," she replied.
"And that's important why?"
"Today is my birthday."
"It is. I didn't know that."
"Nobody here knows."
"So what should I get you?"
"How about drinking this with me?" she said as she poured a greenish liquid from
bottle into to gold goblets. She handed one to Knows-a-lot, but he just looked
at it.
"What is this stuff?" he said as he sniffed it.
"It's a portion."
"For what?"
"To make us older."
"Like how old? Fifty?"
"No, just ten years."
"I'm wonder what I looked like when I'm a teen, what the heck?"
Knows-a-lot took a goblet from Katie and drank it. Then Katie took the remaining
one and drank it too. Suddenly they fell to a deep sleep. As they slept, they
body changed. Katie grew into a beautiful young woman. Her hair grew long and
curly, her bust grew to moderate size, she was giving curves in her body, and
her nails grew long and sharp. Knows-a-lot grew into hot teenage boy. His hair
still bald, but his muscles grew and built up.
Knows-a-lot was the first to awake. He was amazed, but quite embarrassed because
both of them were completely nude.
"Did it work?" said Katie with her eyes still closed.
"Look for yourself," Knows-a-lot replied in a deep mature voice.
Katie opened her eyes and saw herself for the first time as a sixteen-year-old.
She ran to a full-length mirror on the other side of the room.
"Look at me," she said as she turned around to look at Knows-a-lot, "It worked.
It actually worked. So how do I look?"
Knows-a-lot just stared not saying anything.
"Hello, Knows-a-lot," she said as she waved her hands across his eyes, "Are you
awake? I guess he's in shock."
Katie went to her dresser, took out some clothes, and walked into her bathroom.
In a few minutes, she walked out wearing leather pants, a black bikini top that
had strings at the bottom which she wrapped around her stomach that tied in the
back, her usual black combat boots, and her hair was tied up in a pony tail with
two long bangs that went to her shoulder.
"Here put this on," she said as she throw some clothes at Know-a-lot, "You got
to be dress when I get my birthday present from King Robert."
He took the clothes, a pair a black dress pants and a matching vest, and did
what Katie said.
"Don't you look handsome?" she said as she kissed his cheek.
Then she picked up her cobra and walked out of the room.
"Man, she's hot," Knows-a-lot said to himself.
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"In the next town I'm going shopping for clothes," proclaimed Diana one day as
they just stepped out of the forest and into a meadow clearing, "I don't know
how Apollo can stand this pants. They're making me so freaking hot."
"The next town would be the mining town of Stele and the shopping there is
crappy. So you have to live with them for the time being," said Allie.
"I'm this close of taking them off and going naked."
"You don't have to do that. I think I have a pair of extra clothes."
"Thank you."
"You guys, Diana and I are going into the forest so she can changed into
something more comfortable for her. So do you mind stopping."
"I don't. I'm so tired. I'm thinking about taking a nap," said Ruby as she lay
down. She was feeling sick for a long time now. Nobody knew what she had, but
she secretly did. She remembered she just this way when she was pregnant with
Katie. Those where happy days for her with her husband, her little child, and
her. She was so happy when Katie was born, but she knew she wasn't like other
babies. She hardly cried, was very independent, and stubborn. Katie was very
smart. You can tell she understood everything you said even as an infant and she
always acted like an adult. You could have deep conservation with her when she
was just two and she always has a way of telling you she loved you.
"What are you thinking about?" said Stry as he sat down besides her.
"Katie," she replied. Then she started to cry, "I miss her. I felt I betrayed
her and her father."
"You didn't betray them."
"Yes, I am. I'm replacing them both with you."
"No, you're not. They will always to be special to you."
"I just want my baby back if only for today on her birthday."
Stry brought her close to him, wrapped his arms around her, and let her cry.
"What's wrong with her?" said Diana as she walked out of the forest. She was
wearing a long black skirt that was recently was tore on the sides for
movability and a black shirt like Allie's.
"It's her daughter's birthday," Stry said.
Diana knelt down by Ruby, "I'm sorry."
"Thank you," said Ruby as she hugged Diana.
"But you shouldn't deal in the past for long, you know. It can trap you there,
if not careful," said Allie, "Besides you should be happy instead of sad."
"Why?"
Allie leaned down and placed her hand on Ruby's stomach.
"How do you know?"
"When you been around woman who sleep with man for money, you know the signs and
dread them."
"You're pregnant, Ruby," Diana said in surprise.
"What! We're going to have a child," said Stry even more surprised than Diana
did.
"Yes, we're going to have a child," replied Ruby.
Stry kissed Ruby then hugged her in happiness.
"Rare moment in history, a happy vampire," said Diana.
"Can there be such a thing?" replied Allie.
"If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I won't believe it."
"Just gave him a few seconds to recognize what he's doing to the reputations of
all vampires, he'll become all depress like again."
"But what if he doesn't?"
"Then it's the end of the world as we know it."
"Ah! Okay. I can deal with that."
(
Katie walked to the throne room with one thing on her mind. As she approached,
the guards wouldn't let her in.
"Sorry miss, but we aren't allow to let you in," said the one on the left.
"But I work here. Don't you recognize me? It's me, Katie," she replied.
"You're not fooling anyone. Katie is a child," said the one of the right.
"I guess you caught me. Let me gave you a reward for doing a good job."
Katie walked to the one to the left and kissed him. Then did the same thing to
the one of the right. Katie step back as the guards fell to their deaths. She
took out a cloth and wiped the blood off her knife. She placed it into her boot
and walked into the throne room.
"Who are you?" said King Robert.
"You know me. We just talked to each other yesterday. Don't you remember?" said
Katie.
"I never seen you before in my life."
"Oh yeah I forgot. I changed since yesterday. You see, it's my birthday today,
so I turned ten years older."
"What?"
"I'm Katie. You know your advisor. If you don't believe me, ask me anything that
only Katie and you would know."
"Okay. Who's the general of my army?"
"Oh that's easy. It's Nala and before that was Snott, but he betrayed us and
joined Kismet little group. And before Snott was Tom, which you killed for
failure, do you want more?"
"That was an easy one. How about this one, I know for a fact that only Katie
knows it. What's my name?"
"Alice Robert White and you hate your parents for naming you that, so you
imprison them."
"You are Katie, but how?"
"I decided being a kid wasn't much fun, so I decided to grow up."
"And grow-up you did. So it's your birthday? So what do you want?"
"Your kingdom."
Then Knows-a-lot came from behind the throne and strangled him to
unconsciousness.
"What should I do with him?" said Knows-a-lot.
"Put him in the dungeon. Make sure it's the same cell block as his parents,"
Katie replied. Then she took the crown from his head; "I'll be needing that."
Knows-a-lot placed King Robert over his shoulder and took him to the dungeons in
a secret passageway. Then Katie sat down on the throne and placed the crown of
her head.
"Life is good," she said.
(
Ruby was sitting in the forest only in the dark, when Stry found her.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked.
"Thinking," she replied.
"You had me worry. I went to get a drink and when I came back you were gone."
"Sorry, but I needed to me alone."
"I know what you mean."
"Stry, do you really want children?"
"Of course."
"Are you just saying that?"
"No. I always wanted children especially after I seen Daven with his two sons."
"I thought he only had one."
"No. He had two. One with Tuomr, his first wife, and one with the fairy queen."
"They had a child."
"Yes, but when he was six months old, he disappeared."
"How sad."
"I know. He was one of the reasons that Daven took his own life. You see their
son disappeared a week before the fairy queen was taken into her eternal sleep."
"That's so sad."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes."
"If Katie is still with you, what would you gave her for her birthday?"
"I don't know, probably a book about spells or something on those lines. She has
great magical powers, but if not properly taught, it can be unruly."
"Do you think our child will learn to use magic?"
"Of course. She's part elf, so she would have to."
"How do you know if it's a she? It could be a boy you know."
"A son would be perfect. He'll be like his father."
"But do we want to release another me out to the world?"
"You're not that bad, are you?"
"You just seeing the good side of me. I have a completely different side. A
merciless, dark side that loves the taste of blood on his lips."
"I hope I never see that side."
"I promise you never will. With all my might I make sure you never see it."
"A bweu hei."
"I love you too. Let's go back to the camp."
"Okay, but first let me do something."
"What?"
"A present for Katie."
"What? How?"
"You'll see," Ruby put her hands in front of her and opened it, "Fire's flame."
A flame appeared and flickered in her hands.
"Dance," she commanded it. The flame took a form a woman and danced a graceful
ballet. Then Ruby started to hum a sweet song and the flame dance to it.
"That's beautiful," Stry said.
"Flame, dance for Katie tonight."
Then the flame disappeared.
(
Katie was laying in her bed next Knows-a-lot when the dancing flame came. Then
she began to sing the song her mother was humming.
"Little flame,
Dance for me tonight.
Little flame,
Please be bright.
Little flame,
Please be graceful.
Little flame,
Please be careful.
Little flame,
Or the wind..."
"Stop it," she said to herself, "This is not your body anymore Katie, so leave
me alone. I said leave me alone."
Katie got up and ran to her mirror. She placed her hand on it and closed her
eyes.
"Powers are dark send Katie into this mirror."
"It's not going to work," she said to herself.
"I'm the source of your power Katie, so get into that mirror."
"No! You can't get rid of me that easily. Wherever go, I will go. And when my
mother comes, she will save me from this cruel fate."
"Nobody can save you Katie. NOBODY!"
"My mother will come and with my grandfather."
"Don't you remember, you killed your grandfather."
"He wasn't my grandfather. He was my great-grandfather. Wanderer is my mother's
father, not Mimir."
"How dare you speak of that name!"
"You're afraid of him aren't you. You'll afraid that he will come and ruin your
plans."
"I'm not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm the dark crystal, people
are afraid of ME!"
"Nobody afraid of you. You're useless without a host."
"Don't make me kill you," she said as she took the knife from her dresser top
and placed it on her neck.
"Go ahead. You just be killing a perfect host. It'll be a long time until you
find someone with great power like me."
Katie threw the knife down and fell to the ground.
"Leave Katie, leave Katie, leave Katie, leave Katie," she repeated over and over
again.

K/N (Katie's Note)- Katie: You made me a nut job!
But you already one.
Katie: I can't believe you're my creator.
You can't pick who makes you.
Katie: I wish I did then I pick someone like Bill Gates.
In your dreams, dude. You're stuck with me for the rest of your life.
Katie: (screams) If that's true, I will make yours miserable.
Yeah right.
