Chapter 7

The Hilton's: What Remains.....

Years have come and gone, for those living in Sunset Valley but for one individual, his hometown looks very familiar since being gone for so long. Danny has finally come home! While Danny has been gone, Zeus and his brothers quickly began taking over the town killing and turning many of the citizens into vampire's! Sheri during this time has come to accept the fact that she has been lied to about her husbands resurrection. However, her realization came to late, Ron was now Zeus's pet project and Sheri's "daughters" where now grown women! Raised by Sheri, who was told to teach them potions and how to create new ways to extend life! 

 The girls grew to be very intelligent and to the dismay of Sheri, both resembled their true mother and father!

 Sheri protected and guided the girls.....even began to truly love the girls as her own!

 Unfortunately, Sheri could not prevent the girls from falling in love with Zeus or his guardsman Donovan. Nor could she prevent Zeus's influence to manipulate and distort the girls perception of the world.

The girls grew up with everything their hearts desired, which caused the girls to desire internal youth!

Once the girls turned to young adults they where turned into creatures of the night! Sheri took it upon herself to turn the girls and taught them the pros and cons of their new lives!

Sheri: My dear daughters, your lives have forever changed.....your bodies will always remain the same but your minds will continue to age! So keep in mind that everything you do from now on will remain with you forever! Believe me, you'll never forget the happy times.....nor the sad times.

For the remaining Hilton family members, Zeus kept his word all those years ago, if any Hilton heir didn't join Zeus they where told to flee town or die! Many disappeared others stood their grounds and simply vanished!

However, a Hilton has come back unknowing of what has become of his once growing family.

Danny: I'm finally home! My return has been long overdue. I hope Oliver, Logan, Stella, and the kids will forgive me! I wonder how many great grand children I have? I wonder if Oliver and Stella had anymore kids? Or if Logan finally, found a new love? Why am I standing here for when I can start visiting family now!

Wandering down familiar streets Danny came upon Logan's first home. Which he gave to his son as a wedding gift so many years ago. 

Danny: I wonder....does Logan's son George still live here? No harm to check, if anything I can just pretend to be lost, asking for directions, if it turns out that George doesn't live here anymore!

 Danny: Here goes nothing!

Danny rang the bell and an older gentleman answered the door and greeted Danny.

 Old Man: Hello....it can't be....Danny! Come in, come in!

 Once inside Danny was growing anxious, who was this old man?

Old Man: You don't know who I am, do you?

Danny: Sorry.

Old Man: It's me, Grandpa! George, Logan's son!

Danny: Georgie! Your so....

George: OLD! HA! You should talk Gramps!

Danny: Georgie, where's Grace and your boy Dave?

George: My Grace has past away just a couple months ago. My boy is a man now and is at work.

Danny: I'm sorry!

George: Don't be Gramps! Anyways, its pretty late! You look exhausted from your trip! Which, you will go into detail first thing in the morning!

 George: Sorry about the decor! My Grace, she had an addiction for animal prints! 

Danny: It's fine. I'm really glad to see you, can't wait to see the rest of the family too!

George's face went from happy to almost sad when Danny said that. Which, gave Danny an indication of bad news.

Danny: Something wrong?

George: No....we have a lot of catching up to do tomorrow, get some rest Gramps! Its really good to see you Danny....Good night.

Danny was so happy to see family that he dismissed the look on George's face and quickly went to bed, hoping that morning would come faster!

The Next Morning....

Danny: Whoa! Better spruce myself up before seeing anyone else! 

Danny: Much better! 
Danny was then greeted by George and his son Dave.
George: Good morning Gramps! Please come sit with us!

 Danny: Good morning! Dave it's so good to finally see you....
Dave: What's wrong Dan?
Danny: Your a vampire! George, why is your son a vampire?!

 George: Gramps, sit down. My son made this choice a long time ago! 
Danny: Sorry Dave, it just took me by surprise!

 George: A lot has changed since you've been gone! But I can fully explain that to you when we get to the cemetery.

 Dave: Dad! Danny just got home, don't you think you should hold off on the cemetery visit until later?

Danny: It's fine Dave. I should go to pay my respects to your mother and to visit my 1st son Phillip who rests their as well!
George: Well then, let's be off then shall we?!

 Once at the cemetery, George walked straight to the family grave site.
George: Hi my dear Grace! Guess who came home finally!
Danny: Wow! There's so many more than the last time I came here!

George: Sorry Grace, but I need to cut our visit short! Danny lets go see Phillip.
As George and Danny navigated to Phillips grave, Danny began to see different family members who were still alive before he had left.
George: Seeing some familiar names on these tombstones are you?
Danny: Unfortunately, I am!
George: Sadly, Gramps it gets worse!
George slowly pointed at a tombstone next to Phillip's, which read Logan Hilton's name across it!

 Danny: What is this! NO...NO, it can't be! Logan was supposed to be alive still, my potion should have kept him alive!

 Danny: Why....Logan, your supposed to be alive!
George: Gramps....come here.

 Danny slowly followed George to another set of graves. George then slowly pointed at them.
George: I'm sorry Gramps....your sons are gone.

Danny: Oliver and Stella! NO! WHAT HAPPENED! 
Danny sobbed for his lost children and painfully George listened as Danny began to beg for forgiveness from his dead sons!
Danny: Logan...Oliver, forgive me for leaving you both! I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry! Georgie....why did this happen! Why....my boys, my boys! They're gone!!!

George quickly hugged Danny, letting Danny cry his heart out!

 George: I'm sorry Gramps, I'm so sorry but I have to tell you the truth! About everything I know up to this point! 
Later that day Danny and George finally get home. Danny collapses once he gets inside! 
Danny: I can't believe that Sheri and the others would do this! What happened to Oliver's boys and his daughter?!

 George: Richard is fine, he is in hiding. Haven't seen Ron for years, Henry and Ray are feared dead! And the girls Felicity and Melody have been raised as Sheri's daughters!
Danny: Hiding, missing, dead! Those poor boys! Stella had twin girls! What can I do? I can't allow these crimes against my family to go unpunished! Why are you and Dave still alive?
George: Because of Dave! Zeus was going to kill us but Grace and I posed no real threat, so Zeus instead made Dave a vampire! Then told us that if we betrayed or fought against him, he would throw Dave into the sunlight and make us watch him burn!

Dave: So he knows now! Danny....no, Great Grandfather! Its time to fight back!
Danny: What about your safety?
Dave: That doesn't matter now, the fact is that you came during the weakest moment of Zeus and his brothers rule in this town! For months they have been laying low for some reason!
George: Its time to take back our family Gramps!
Danny: Yes! But know this....Sheri and Kalson are mine to deal with! Both will pay for what they did!
Until Next Time!!!

Chapter 6

The Hilton's: Reunited

 Within in hours of Javier leaving, Zeus called Donovan to pick up the keys to his brothers freedom! 

It was late in the evening that Ariel Hilton had just gotten home to a horrible sight in her own living room!

 Ariel: OH GOD! CARMELO!!!

Donovan: It's rude to scream during someone's dinner!

Donovan: I'm assuming that your Ariel Hilton. The decedent of Danny Hilton's eldest brother.

Ariel: Who are you?! And why did you kill my husband?!

Donovan: You and this man have two daughters, Tamika and Jaclyn.

Ariel: You leave my girls alone!

Donovan: You see, I was asked only to bring two from this family....not three.

Ariel began to back up toward the front door.

Donovan: So that leaves me desert!

Ariel screamed and started to run to the door before she even got a few steps Donovan was already in front of her! Before she could let out another scream, Donovan bit into her ending Ariel's life!

Donovan: Now I have to wait for these girls to come home!

Later that evening a car pulled up to Ariel Hilton's house, Tamika and Jaclyn get out of the car.

Tamika: Finally!

Jaclyn: What is it?

Tamika: Mom's gift finally got here! I've been like waiting for it for like a week!

Jaclyn: Well it got here just in time for mom's birthday tomorrow! Anyways, watch your step, its really getting dark! 

Tamika: Why are all the lights off?

Jaclyn: Maybe mom and dad went out.

As the girls made their way through the house, Jaclyn reached for a lamp for some light. Only to be surprised by a scary looking guy sitting on the couch!

Donovan: Finally! I've been "LIKE" waiting forever for you two!

Jaclyn screams and walks in reverse only to trip over something on the floor!

To the girls surprise it was their mother, the girls in shock all they could do is cry! 

Donovan: Well, its time to go ladies! My boss is awaiting for your visit and he doesn't like to be kept waiting for long!

With that Donovan leaped at the girls and subdued them. He then began to drag the girls to Zeus.

Zeus was waiting when Donovan brought the girls to him.

Zeus: Any problems?

Donovan: Nah! This one didn't give me any problems (looking a Jaclyn) but this ONE (Tamika)! She couldn't keep her mouth shut!

Tamika: LET US GO! SOMEONE HELP US!!!

As Tamika screamed for help, it caught the attention of Ron and Sheri!

Ron and Sheri run to where the commotion was happening!

Sheri: What the hell is going on?! Who are these two girls?!

Zeus: Distant relatives. 

Ron: What are you guys doing with them? Why are they screaming, what is going on here?!

Zeus: Sheri please have Ron wait in the next room for a bit. I wouldn't want to have any problems with him.

Sheri: Ron look at me...I want you to wait in the next room for me. 

Using her Vampire powers Sheri convinces Ron to wait in the next room.

Ron: What about the two girls?

Sheri: Don't worry about them. Just wait for me in the next room until I come for you.

Ron slowly left the room.

Zeus: Now then, shall we. Donovan escort the ladies into the Gym room.

Zeus: Its Time! Now ladies, all you have to do is touch these sarcophagus's and you can then go home.

Tamika: You mean it?! That's all we have to do....and you'll let us go, just like that?

Zeus: Yes. If you refuse to.....

Tamika: We'll do it, you just let us go when we do!

Slowly the girls touch the sarcophagus's. At first nothing seems to happen, the girls look at each other in confusion.

Tamika: There! We touched them, now we're leaving!

Zeus: Patience.

With that said, the girls are overcome with intense pain!

Both girls begin to scream in pain!

Tamika: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!

Jaclyn: TAMIKA, IT HURTS!!!

Tamika: WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!!!

Donovan: What's happening to them, Zeus?

Zeus: Patience....

 The girls began screaming louder and louder! As what seemed to be their very souls being sucked into the sarcophagus's.

Finally, the girls screams seemed to die down and soon the girls started to fade away until they where just gone!

Moments later, the sarcophagus's slowly opened. To reveal Zeus's brothers Hades and Poseidon.

 Zeus: Finally, my brother's we are reunited!

Poseidon: Brother?! How did you....

Zeus: All will be explained soon enough!

Hades: Brother, its so good to see you! Who are your beautiful friends?!

Zeus: Hades, glad to see that your still the same!

As Zeus rejoiced with his brothers return, Sheri finally interrupted them!

Sheri: Glad to see you so happy Zeus but now its your turn to keep our deal!

Donovan: Interesting! I've been wondering what the connection was between the two of you?

Zeus: In due time Sheri! Remember Ron is your answer!

Sheri: I've waited long enough!! I WANT MY HUSBAND BACK!!!

Zeus: As I told you back then, it takes a witch to bring the dead back! And Ron is not nearly as strong enough to do this task yet!

Sheri: How will he achieve this power to do this task!

Zeus: My brothers and I know a way but it will take a toll on Ron. Will you be able to handle that?

Sheri: I've abandoned my own family, killed the people that took me in, and lied to innocent children into believing that I'm their mother! I think I'm more than capable in letting one more person suffer to get my husband back!

Donovan: Hold up! What the hell happened to your husband?!

Sheri: The same thing that happened to those two girls. My Nathan was absorbed by Zeus! 

Donovan: How....

Sheri: A long time ago, my husband and I were on an expedition. We loved traveling, finding old relics of the past. Unfortunately, we stumbled into a hidden cavern of an old pyramid, in it we found three sarcophagus's. Nathan touched the first one and like the girls....he was gone and Zeus was awakened!

Donovan: So all that you did was for a guy....so much death for one individual!

  Sheri: It was also for my own life as well! You see Zeus wanted to suck me dry, because my husband wasn't enough! I managed to make a deal with him, so that he could accomplish his own goal. His brothers are free and now its time for his end of the deal!

Zeus: Yes, this is true! My dear Sheri, as much as I appreciate all that you've done, I need to prepare Ron for what is to come! Now, if you and Donovan please leave and send Ron in.

Sheri: Zeus....

Sheri and Donovan leave the room, once gone the brothers look at Zeus in confusion.

 Poseidon: Brother, what is this lie about resurrecting the dead! You know that even the strongest witches can't do this type of magic!

Hades: Ha! What I really want to know is how did you get us freed? I thought only....

Zeus: I needed Sheri, these are different times. Her knowledge helped me get me to this point. So I lied to get her to willingly help me! As for our freedom....

Poseidon: I thought only our bloodline could break the curse put on us.

Zeus: True....Don't you see these people, Sheri and her relatives are a part of our bloodline! Her husband must of held some of her essence within him, the reason why I was so weak when I was awakened! She was his vampire creator after all.

Hades: How?! All our children died before we were cursed, none were born with our immortality!

 Ron: Zeus, Sheri said you wanted to see me.

Zeus: Here is your answer brothers! Look at this boys eyes and you'll find your answer!

 As they looked at Ron's eyes, they quickly looked at each other in astonishment!

Zeus: Yes my brothers, She is alive and well somewhere in this world! The person who locked us away is out there somewhere! Our dear little SISTER, ATHENA IS ALIVE!!!

Until Next Time!!!
