Shana and Linda couldn't believe that some of their friends were vampires. How could they have been fooled all this time?
Shana asked Todd, “Do you
mean that Minnie, Frank, Hank, and Shirley were true vampires? They looked and
acted like everyone else in town. When did they turn into vampires?”
“Vampires don’t appear
different on the outside from humans: what’s inside is what really matters. Humans and vampires could be good or bad—just like we’ve seen here. Each person has to choose his or her own path.
“As for the answer to your
second question,” continued Todd, “they must have been vampires for a number of years already.
I’ve always suspected them of some kind of duplicity, but I’ve never been able
to pinpoint exactly what they’d been involved in.”
Linda said, “When I questioned
Minnie and Frank about the End House party, Minnie quietly tried to warn me
that things weren’t always what they seemed. Maybe she was feeling guilty and
was trying to warn me. I feel so bad that I didn’t listen to her. It must have
been Frank who attempted to drown me; the swimmer had his size and shape. He
looked angry every time I visited their store. Maybe Minnie didn’t even know
the full extent of the evil lurking inside of him.”
“It was Frank who tried to
drown you. Minnie might have gotten herself involved in something that she
couldn’t get out of,” said Todd.
“We’ll never know.”
“Maybe Minnie never
transformed into an evil vampire like the others. She didn’t participate in the bonfire of Sam and Todd,” Shana said.
“Then she died a hero, who
was valiantly trying to warn me. I’m going to remember her like that,” Linda said.
“Anything is possible.
It’s very noble of you to believe in the good of people. That’s what makes you so special,” Todd said as
he softly kissed her on the head.
