The Vampire's Apprentice

[Treasure]

"You did a great job with the house. Well done," Clancy praised her. His office looked empty without books or computer.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Ah, the twins helped." She smiled. "And Sam supervised."

 

[Treasure]

"Good dog," Clancy said mildly.
Sam gruffed and wiggled a bit. He was a good doggy!
"Thank you for taking care of all this. This is the smoothest move I have ever made. At least so far," Clancy commented.

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty nodded. "Let's hope that luck keeps up, then."

 

[Treasure]

"Are you calling yourself my luck?" Clancy teased lightly.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Maybe..." She replied innocently.

 

[Treasure]

Clancy just chuckled and shook his head. Then he turned and sat on the stairs, looking down into the empty house. "I received a buyer for the house willing to take it sight unseen."

 

[KenżaSheep]

"And... this is good?" Kitty squeezed in beside him on the steps.

 

[Treasure]

"Yes, oh yes," Clancy nodded. "It means we will have more money for the move and buying a new house. I did not expect a buyer for at least a week, but apparently some young couple has had their eye on making this their dream home." He paused. "I hope they planned on having the, uh, dream next-door neighbors!"

 

[KenżaSheep]

She bit her lip to hold in a laugh, but the action was in vain. "One can only hope," Kitty agreed.

 

[Treasure]

"Then again, perhaps they will be Mrs. Pugglesworth's favorite people in the whole world. Who knows?" he shrugged.

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty faked surprise. "How could she ever think to replace us?"

 

[Treasure]

"I have no idea, but I'm sure she'll do her best to get over losing us," Clancy said with a mournful sigh. "I do not know how she will manage."

 

[KenżaSheep]

She giggled, grinning. "But of course. Of course."

 

[Treasure]

"In any case, if you could let her know tomorrow that we will be leaving tomorrow night and to please pardon the noise?" he requested. "We will be out of her hair soon enough."

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty nodded, making a mental note to do that.
"Hey, Clancy?" She asked.

 

[Treasure]

"Hmm?" Clancy asked, ticking off boxes in his head. "Yes?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"How many times have you gone from one place to another in your long life?"

 

[Treasure]

Clancy frowned in thought as he counted back. "Hmm... twenty-five.... thirty... um... then those three... and there was the time..." He hesitated then looked at her. "How does forty sound?"

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Like a lot," she answered earnestly. "How'd you do it, just being all by yourself?"
