(continued from Kingston)

We arrived at the Black Beach after escaping from the Kingsotn and instantly saw signs that our crew had been here. There were footprints in the sand.

We also saw wreckeage from another ship and I hoped that the Kingston would not suffer the same fate as this ship.

"Alright," I said, "we know that they were heading to the castle in the centre of the island so that is where I think we should try to get to. Are we all in agreement?"

"Yes, let's just get off this beach!" I said.
From here the vampires on the Kingston could still see us. We needed to take shelter in the forest up ahead.

We moved off into the forest...

(continued from forest)

We all rushed from the forest and onto the beach. We could see the Knigston still out in the water. The strange fire coming from it, stretching into the sky died down. We also saw a lady fly over our heads towards our ship and land on its deck.

It had to be the Queen!

"Now what do we do?" I said, "There is n way that we could defeat the Queen! Where has th cpatain and the others got to?"

Just as I spoke we saw another figure emerge from the forest. He was rushing towards us...

I came out of the forest and headed straight towards the group of Kingston crew members gathered around on the beach. They gripped their weapons when they saw me, as if ready for me to attack them, but that was not my plan.

"If ya want t live ya best get off this beach and onto that ship!" I growled, "There's an army of dead men behind me an they want blood!"

Then one of the people explained that the queen of Devil Island had just flown to the Knigston.

"The Queen!" I said, "Did she have an Axe with her? did she have an Axe?"

They told me that she did. Without saying another word to the Knigstons crew I headed off towards the ship...

Follwoing Gregor the pirate led us out onto the Black Beach. I never ventured onto the beach as it was Lord Andors rambling fground and he and I did not always see eye to eye. However now that he was dead I no longer cared where I stepped.

We found some Kingston crewmembers gathered around looking worried. I strode forward.

"Kingston crew!" I shouted, "I see you managed to escape the vampires... well done!" I always knew vampires were not as capable at getting a job done as us dead. "However unfortunatly your time has now come to an end! Feel the wrath of MY ARMY!!!"

My army of skeletons strode forward in unison. THey shook their weapons and roared. I smiled.

"Who amongst you is fearless enough the take on my army?" I laughed...

I stepped forward.

"I think I have a chance at taking on your army," I said determined. Leig-riun smiled and began to laugh.

He raised an arm and his skeleton warriors headed forward towards me. At that moment lightning struck in the air and my eyes flashed blue.
Electricity rushed from my body through my finger tips and out across the beach, covering all of the skeletons in blue sparks.
They fell back as the electricity ripped through their bones and began to tear them apart. One by one the army was destroyed, smashed into millions of pieces.

Soon not a single skeleton remained. I fell to my knees, my energy spent...

still in pain i tourned to Olivia Thorn and said we have to kill the queen! before she kills anyone else!

we have to save the kingston!

they all looked at me with a blank face.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!" I screamed, "MY ARMY! MY BEAUTIFUL ARMY! GONE!"

The woman who fired the electric looked at me ready to attack me.

"Stop... wait," I begged, "you have the gift of the Old Ones! The first of us to arrive on Devil Island once had these same powers! You must be a decendant from us! But how? How is this possible? How can you be related to us?"

I had to find the answers I seeked. The Queen might know. I needed to talk to her now! I quickly vanished into thin air.

(continued on Kingston Main Deck)

I was impressed with Tess's abilities. Her power reminded me slightly of my own, although I knew how I got my power.

suddenly something passed over me, a feeling of worry. The air was changing. It was an extra snece I developed from being the weapon. I looked at the Sleepy I vampire. His father had put the weapon into me... his father had been my friend but I had failed him. I was not able to save him from the vampires. And I was not able to save his son either.

"The world is in great danger," I said outloud, "we are all doomed." I knew now that I would never defeat the Queen. It was not my destiny. My only destiny now was to survive and I knew that by staying here with these people that could never happen.

"Tell Mister Johns to keep fighting the fight against the beasts," I said to the group, "thats if he lives. Thats if any of you live. Goodbye all of you and good luck."

With that I turned around and walked off into the night...

We watched Bruce Freedom leave us. We were all concerned with what he meant by 'if any of us live'.

"Lets get to the Kingston," I said.

As we headed for our ship I looked at sleepy I. Maybe he was telling the truth... maybe he really was a good vampire...
