The Vampire Queen has a sub-theme of
bisexual love and hate woven within the storyline. Sure, it briefly explains
the turning of The Count. The Countess was in love with him at one the time and
wanted to save his life after he was brutally mugged and left within an inch of
his life, something she didn’t remember this awakening. It was one of
many things she had to relearn. She is awoken every one-hundred years to live
for as long as she sees fit or until she gets bored (more like the latter). She
is very strong-willed and is often a challenge for The Count each time she arises
with amnesia.
This
time around, The Count enlisted the help of a beautiful bodyguard, Kendra. She
dressed like a “warrior woman” according to The Countess, though she was
striking with long, straight black hair, big green eyes and peach-kissed lips.
They did not, however, start things off on the right foot. The Countess did not
like being told what she could or could not do and definitely not by someone
beneath her. She did everything in her power to make Kendra feel uncomfortable,
unwelcome and unappreciated. She even went so far as to throw temper-tantrums.
One
day, The Countess softened and saw Kendra for the woman she was after much
training and spending one-on-one time with her. She decided to have a “girls’
night out” and went shopping. They didn’t tell The Count, bought lots of
clothes, had a pajama party and slept in the same bed that night though nothing
sexual happened. The Count was none too pleased and started to worry
incessantly. He brought in a sexy Latin man who swept Kendra away for two days
and in that time, The Countess’ castle was attacked by ‘The Others’, the evil
vampires. For centuries, they have been trying to get The Countess to come over
to their side so they can create Armies to control the world. The invaded every
event The Countess attended and attempted to make life difficult for her. The
Count deduced that Kendra was the mole that reported The Countess’ actions to
‘The Others’. He had a panic room built for her without Kendra’s knowledge. The
Countess, however, refused to believe it as she had started to fall in love
with Kendra. Once The Count pieced it together for her, The Countess was
devastated. Enraged she placed Kendra in the castle with a spell that trapped
her there with a constant food supply for the rest of her immortal life.
The Countess and
The Count moved across the sea but she was unhappy. She finally decided to make
amends with Kendra, if she’d have her. When she found Kendra, she looked like a
wild beast and the castle was torn to shreds. After many hours of talking, the
two women made up and decided to go to Venice where a young coven was looking
for a leader…
