futility of his actions. He scrambled around
the ground, trying to regain his composure. Vampires may have
healed quicker than humans, but they still felt pain, and he was in
plenty of it.
    “Please get up, Xander,” pleaded Emily, still
wrestling with her captures. “You have to get up!”
    “Pay close attention, dear,” said Simeon,
looking back towards Emily as he picked the bloodied Xander up.
“And now… I’m going to kill your pitiful savior.”

Chapter Nine

    Emily screamed in horror, as she watched the
life drain from Xander. Blow after blow from Simeon sent the little
remaining blood Xander had left, splattering all over the ground.
He continued to lash at Xander, stripping the flesh from his bones
with each vicious attack.
    That’s when it happened. The real
Emily Johansson had awoken. The clouds turned back as they spread
out across the night sky. Thunder boomed and lightning cracked,
sending bolts of energy from the heavens down to the ground
below.
    Lightning fractured the ground around the
country home, lighting up the night as it struck several of the
now-fleeing ghouls. Many of them exploded in a fiery blaze, sending
panic through their ranks as Xander’s men mowed them down in
systematic fashion.
    Rage began to overcome Emily and overwhelming
pressure started to build up inside her, from parts unknown.
Feeling like she was being torn apart from the inside, Emily
screamed in agony, flailing her arms around as the two ghouls
desperately tried to contain her.
    “Hold her still!” shouted Jacob, as he tried
to hold Emily in place. His scabby hands clawed into her flesh as
he tightened his grip. “You’re letting her go!”
    “I’m not!” George yelled back. “You’re the
one letting her go!”
    In fact, neither of them was letting go of
her. It was Emily herself that was getting stronger.
    Emily’s eyes were engulfed in white swirling
energy, as the ghouls frantically turned to subdue her. She could
feel herself become stronger, faster, and more self aware with each
passing moment.
    With the flick of her arms, she sent the two
ghouls hurdling down the porch steps.
    Emily raised her arms, and with strength that
she never even knew she had, began to call forth power of
terrifying proportions. White streams of light started swirling all
around her arms; and with the shrieks from a thousand roaring
creatures, blazing white energy pulsed from each of her hands. The
energy swirled around her fists as the creatures started to get
louder and louder; their screams echoing throughout the country,
the sound of a thousand monsters screeching in unison.
    Two monstrous dragons took form, as they
danced around in circles, heading straight for the two ghouls that
had assaulted her. They were breathtaking and majestic as they
hurdled forward with incredible speed.
    The blast tore through Jacob and George,
swallowing them up in a blinding white light. Their skin and bones
started to melt away, being eaten alive by the mystical dragons’
wrath.
    “I—it can’t be,” stuttered Simeon, unable to
believe his own eyes. “The summoner has awoken.”
    Simeon dropped Xander in a hurry. The once
mighty vampire had been humbled from the fury unleashed by a young
woman. He quickly realized that victory would not be in his grasp
tonight and took off into the night.
    “Emily!” shouted Xander, lifting his battered
body up, and rushing over towards her.
    Emily stood motionless, staring blankly at
the chaos she had caused. Unable to comprehend what had just
happened, Emily’s mind overloaded, causing her to slowly lose
consciousness.
    Xander ran up the steps, and threw his arms
around Emily. He grabbed on tightly to her, as her knees began to
quiver. Whatever power she had awoken, it had drained her
completely.
    “W—what was that?” Emily asked, in complete
shock. “What did I just do?”
    “I don’t know,” said Xander, running his
hands through her hair. “I just don’t know.”
    Emily’s head was
