some sort of twisted The Incredible Journey, except with dead people instead of
animals." She turned back to Andrea and Daniel. "Why, why, why do you all have
to be so dumb and dependent? Can't you just migrate somewhere else? Like to
North Dakota, or the Antarctic Ocean?"
Daniel snickered and poked Andrea. "Queen says you're dumb."
"Shut up, sheep," she muttered. Then, louder, "But youЧyou've been calling me!"
"Nuh-uh!"
Sinclair ahem'ed. "It's a function of your power as sovereign," he explained.
"You probably have been calling them. Her. And the others who have beenЧ"
"Well, shit!"
"Yup," Daniel said.
The queen frowned. "What do you want, anyway?"
"N-nothing," Andrea managed. "Just to see you. To make myselfЧ"
"Us," Daniel corrected firmly.
"Чknown to you."
"Well, that's nice and all, but you sure didn't have to come all this way just
to see me. Ever heard of e-mail?"
Daniel laughed, and the queen smirked as he exclaimed, "Don't even tell me we
could have avoided this whole trip!"
"Okay, I won't tell you, but you could have. What's your name?"
"Baaaaaaaaa," Daniel said.
Andrea smacked his arm. "Very funny. I'm Andrea Mercer, and this is my friend,
Daniel Harris." She shook the queen'sЧthe queen's!Чhand. "It's very nice to meet
Your Majesty."
"Betsy, for the love of God. Sorry," she added, seeing Andrea flinch and
Sinclair wince. "I keep forgetting."
"Hey, I do that all the time, too! Whoa." Daniel made the time-out sign. "You
can swear? And wear crosses?"
"Uh-huh. Don't ask me why."
"Okay, I won't, but then you can't get mad at people when they don't think
you're a vampire."
"Can, too! If I'm the queen I figure I can do whatever the heck I want, so
there. Although I have to say it's nice to meet a vampire who has a sense of
humorЧ"
"He's not a vampire," Sinclair and Andrea said in unison.
"Oh. My bad. I usually can't tell until they jump on me and start chewing,
anyway."
"You mean vampires attack the queen of the vampires because they don't know
you're a vampire?"
"My life," she sighed, "in a nutshell."
"And he's not my sheep, either," Andrea blurted out, glaring at Sinclair, who
was looking entirely too smug. "He'sЧhe's myЧ"
"Hot love monkey," Daniel supplied helpfully.
Andrea buried her face in her hands. "Anyway," she said to her fingers, "if Your
Majesty doesn't require anything of me at this timeЧ"
"Go hit a Dairy Queen, have a shake, go crazy," Betsy said carelessly. "Have fun
with your love monkey."
"As long as we're on the subject of hot monkey love," Sinclair began.
"Forget it, pal! The last time I got naked with you, I got stuck with a crown.
And you. I'd rather have gotten a hemorrhoid!"
