"Not exactly", I say as a smirk appears on her face. Her lips are stained red and she cackles horribly, baring white fangs. "I know you're a vampire". I try to hide my fear, but my face is screwed into such a severe expression that I think she knows I am utterly terrified.
"Oh dearie, you look freezing. I don't like cold blood, makes my teeth go all sensitive", she mutters. "So welcome to my humble abode". She welcome us in and everything is pitch dark, bar a few flickering torches. A huge golden moon watches us from a glassless window framed by two tall pillars. The walls are cracked and cream, with blue and red decoration along the ridge. Above in the roof hang hundreds of sleeping bats, dreaming among the rafters. The floor is bare apart from a majestically regal throne standing in the middle of it. A beaded headdress of gold and silver hangs off its top and cascades down the curved arms. 

"So, now you've had the tour, I'm going to kill you", she hisses with a simper. "The question is: who first?" She lets out a devious cackle and bares her snow white teeth. "The purple one, the spiky one, the tall one, the scaly one or the old one?" she points at us in turn with a clawed finger.

"Hey, who are you calling old?!" yell La Muerte, who springs forward at her.

"Oh, please..." Zena says as she flicks her finger and sends her flying in a ray of spiralling purple. She lands with a crunch on the back wall and growls at the snickering tyrant. 

"What about me?" pipes up Fireon before La Muerte had a chance to tackle her. "If we are to die, I want to die with my friends".

"Aww, feeling left out? Don't worry honey, you'l eventually be with them in Heaven or wherever you freaks go, but not yet. You're too scrummy for words, and not in a food way, if you know what I mean", Zena teases.

"Right, shut up", I shout at her.

"How dare you. I am your ruler!" she answers.

"You will never be my ruler. You killed my father and my brother. They meant absolutely everthing to me and you just took them away".

"And what you gonna do. Go cry in the corner, run away like you did at Vallitsmallh? You're just like your father, he screamed the place down when I sank my teeth into him, the wimp. Though your brother, well he died the most dishonourable way ever: a spear?! Seriously? And you ran away? Couldn't have loved him that much".

"Don't you dare talk about my family like that, you villain! And what do yo know about love? Or loss? Nothing has ever loved you".

"What, you think I have never lost someone I love? My husband and child, the only people I cared for in this world were killed. By you freaks. Why do you think I jumped at the chance to exterminate you? Should've done it sooner". That was it. Offend me, offend my planet, but never touch the people  who took me in even though I was different. Gave me friends, shelter, vengeance. I leap at her and grab her by her robe. She takes me by the throat and I take a deep breath, struggling under her tight grip. 

"It took me twenty one years to realise it and took me so much thought to actually believe it. For I am The Prophesised and... I am your daughter".
