The horror! The fear! The huge purple dinosaur came waddling through Nosgoth singing nursery rhymes as it went. Vampires everywhere were screaming. I, myself, a Razielim teenager, sat with my clawed hands over my ears trying to blot out the all too familiar tune of ‘Humpty Dumpty’. The master, Raziel had been called to an urgent meeting of the clans to see how to rid the land of this horrific beast. Meanwhile, all the clan members sat terrified as it began to sing, ‘2 plus 2 is 4, 4 plus 4 is 8...’ dancing a little jig as it did so. The origins of this creature were a mystery. Some believed it had come through a portal from another world whilst others believed it had been created by the humans as a new type of Seraphan Warrior. Some security guards were trying to spear it but to no avail. Soon, they too were dancing and singing along with a horrific happiness. Then the monster began to speak, “Come and sing with Barney! I’ll be your friend.” It then uttered a goofy laugh and danced around. From all directions, spears were thrown at it, but they only bounced of its soft hide and made him laugh louder. “Hey, that tickles.” He came in my direction and holding my skirts from around my feet, I tried to run but he was gaining on me. Then I tripped. Panic set in as I lay paralysed in fear. “Help! Someone please help me!” Two brave security guards tried to defend me, but he enchanted their minds and soon they were singing the 3 times tables and dancing like madmen. He waddled closer; his goofy laugh striking fear into the hearts of all then suddenly he stopped. I looked up and to my surprise Kain, Raziel and the other brethren were standing in front of it. He lunged at Kain. “Give me a hug! I’ll be your best friend!” Kain side stepped out of its way disgusted and mortified. Rahab ran at it, with a huge barbed spear, but Barney grabbed him and hugged him. Rahab dropped the spear and screamed. Turel and Dumah tried to release its grip of the screaming Rahab, but Barney laughed and hugged them too. Melchiah who all the time was trying without success to stab and dice the dinosaur with a huge sword suddenly fell to his knees singing ‘Three blind mice’. Zephon had climbed up on top of his head and pulling off his cloak, he wrapped it around Barney’s face. At once, Melchiah recovered and Rahab, Dumah and Turel fell to the ground. “Hey, I can’t see.” He stumbled about and tripped over a rock. For the first time during the horrible incident, Raziel and Kain spoke. “We must find a way to slay this horrific beast.” Growled Kain as he eyed the writhing creature. “Master, I believe that we could use it.” Raziel then spoke quietly to Kain who then laughed evilly. “Then that is what we shall do.” Using two miles of rope for extra security, they bound Barney and carried him away. I followed them and then laughed hysterically as I saw what they had in mind. The small entrance to the citadel that was out of bounds to vampires because of its deep waters had proved a big problem. However, it was not untouchable for Barney and Raziel and Kain knew that. The brothers stepped back cautiously as they loosened the ropes and Melchiah who still had not got the tune of ‘Three blind mice’ out of his head, hid behind Turel. Raziel stepped forth. “Barney, if that is your name, there are many ‘friends’ for you, but first, you must make your way to the end of that cave and infiltrate the citadel there.” The monster looked at Raziel and began jumping up and down clapping its mighty hands. “Oh boy, more friends! I’ll go right away.” And off he went singing and dancing. Once he had gone, Kain turned to Raziel. “Well played, Lieutenant.” “Thank you.” From the citadel came screams and shouts and the familiar sound of the crossbow and flame-throwers. I then set off for home thinking it was all over but little did I know how wrong I was. The humans had used their children to control him and question him, then knowing who sent him they sent him back. Master Raziel, who was enjoying a glass of blood wine, was devastated to see him return. He then went and asked Kain for advice. Kain then came with his Soul Reaver. “Hideous Monster, you have wrought horror upon our clans. I will finish you now!” “Oh boy, a pogo stick!” Barney grabbed the Soul Reaver and attempted to pogo on it. The Soul Reaver then fried him and he disappeared, laughing foolishly. Kain, amazed by his stupidity, picked up the Soul Reaver and strapped it to his back. He then called all the brothers to a blood feast to celebrate the destruction of Barney and all clan members had parties amongst ourselves, drinking blood and burning models of the Purple Dinosaur. |
