Bring the Vampire Revolution! [2]

Jessica drives with Miko and Diana to the site where they are to rendezvous with the bus of cheerleaders. It's 1:40 am, and Jessica is apprehensive but excited. She is still sitting in the backseat, lazily making out with Miko as Diana drives.

"We enthralled the bus driver last night," Diana explains, "he'll stop in a dead zone for cell service that we've identified. Fish in a barrel."

Jessica knows the rest of the plan: bring the humans to the facility Elizabeth and Diana had constructed. Drain most, enslave others. A lucky few might even be turned. A pilot run for our brave new world Jessica thinks.

The vampiresses pull up to the stopped bus around 2:06 am.

"Let's get 'em" Miko says, "I'm starving."

"You just ate!" Diana says, rolling her eyes. Miko shrugs.

The three vampiresses exit it the car and walk to the coach bus. The side door is open, and they hear a woman talking to the driver:

"There is no cell service here.... We can't even call anyone" the woman says, "how long will this take to fix?"

"Ma'am, I don't know.... I'm trying" the driver says unconvincingly.

"I am going to take some people and walk until we get cell service" the woman responds. Is she the coach? Jessica wonders.

"I'd advise against wandering off into the dark" Diana says, stepping out of the shadow to stand in the bus' doorway. "You never know who you might encounter out there...."

Diana climbs into the bus, followed by Miko and Jessica. There are about thirty or so humans spread out over the large bus - two dozen or so women and the rest men. Most appear to be college aged, with a few adults here and there.

"Ladies and gentleman, may I have your attention please" Diana says. The chatter dies down and all eyes turn forward. Jessica sees a few of the cheerleaders futilely tapping away at their phones. "You are all to play roles in an historic moment. You should be proud."

"Excuse me, who are you?" says the woman who had been talking to the driver a moment ago.

"Ah, Coach Gifford I presume?" Diana says. The coach is confused, but nods. "I'm afraid your services won't be needed" Diana says sinisterly. In the blink of an eye, she grabs the woman, spinning her around so that she is facing the rest of the bus. "Witness your race's future" Diana says as the woman screams. Diana holds the woman tightly around the throat, and bites into her neck. The coach's blood sprays out as Diana savagely drinks her.

The reaction from the other humans is delayed, but after a few seconds the screaming begins. Some start trying to open the windows, but Jessica knows that Diana ensured all exits were sealed. Jessica watches as they fruitlessly tap at their phones. She can smell the blood in the air. Part of her just wants to eat them all with Miko.

Diana drops the exsanguinated coach into a seat. Blood glistens on her mouth. Diana, Miko and Jessica all flash their fangs at the humans. Jessica can see Miko panting with desire.

"Stop screaming" Diana commands and the bus suddenly goes silent save for some muffled sobs. Jessica is impressed with how easily Diana was able to compel so many cattle. "Jessica and Miko are going to come down the aisle and collect your cellphones. Roger," she continues turning to the bus driver, "I think that it's time that we were on our way". The bus lurches forward as Jessica begins grabbing phones from the terrified humans. So many. So much blood.
