"I have a better idea."

*SNAP*

In an instant, any injuries were gone, and they were dressed, Dracula in his usual attire, and Belle in her blue dress.

"There. Good as new."

A New Story (Closed RP) (alternate timeline)

There was a village in the mountains just outside the Enchanted Forest. No one ever went there, and those who lived there rarely went out after dark. Looming over the village was a large hill and atop that hill was an old castle, one that many believed to be haunted.

"That's what happens when you spend so much time among predators, dear." said Dracula.

On a evening, Bloody Bee and Christine were merely window shopping in the French Quarter. Both had seem to have the night off.

They had wandered into a store where Bee had found a few books “you know, I want to say I’m happy to see the classics are still around”

Christina was looking at sun glasses “are they really classics to you or….”

Christina figured it out very quickly that they were vampires but wasn’t telling a soul. But like anyone, she was still curious. Bee chuckled “hon I was born in 1995 in Ireland. I’m 29 or well about to turn 29 next month.”

As they were speaking, a well-dressed man was being hounded by the press.

"What do you think of my vampire costume? Should make for a great Halloween costume."

“Well…”

Just then, a raven perched on the window.

“Well, if I’m allowed to choose, how about “your raven?”

"Let's not be modest, Bee," said Dracula's voice before he appeared.

"You're practically part of the family."

Dracula gave Belle a ravenous grin, showing off his fangs as he took her back to the bedroom.

"Same. I'm not exactly like all the other vamps, kissing Drac's feet, but he CAN get a favor or two out of me. For the right price."

HR 9495 is going back up for voting. All non-profit orgs are in danger.

The Committee on Rules is meeting at 1600 EST on 18 Nov 2024. The agenda includes HR 9495.

If this bill passes, the Secretary of the Treasury would have the power to strip any non-profit group of it's tax-exempt status with no due process.

If you are part of the fandom community and you are in America, please contact your reps and ask them to vote NO on HR 9495.

HR9495 ON ITS WAY TO SENATE

Sadly the nonprofit orgs killer bill passed the house and is now on its way to the senate,endangering orgs such as ACLU,EFF,FTF, Internet Archive, AO3 ( @transformativeworks )and any fighting for human rights. Take some time to voice your disappointment at the reps who voted yes on this terrible bill,and thanks the rep that voted against it. However the next step will be to focus on the Senate, here you can find your senators: https://www.senate.gov/senators/ If your senator is a democrat, you can use this script: "I am calling to urge my representative to vote no on H.R. 9495 . This is a dangerous bill would give the Trump administration unilateral power to label any non-profit as terrorist supporting and shut it down without due process. I am calling on my representative to defend civil rights organizations and oppose this bill. Thank you.” You can also tell them you'll vote for them if they vote no on this bill. Anything goes. if your senator is republican/MAGA, use their own words against them :

"As your constituent, I urge you to vote NO on H.R. 9495. This bill poses a dangerous threat to the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment and must not pass the Senate. It grants any incoming administration unchecked authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of non-profit organizations without oversight or due process. Such government overreach is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned for our democracy. This bill undermines the principles of free speech and freedom of association, cornerstones of American liberty.

H.R. 9495 threatens to pave the way for political suppression, allowing the government to selectively target and shut down organizations based on ideological disagreements. This could affect any non-profit, including churches and conservative groups, as well as organizations that champion human rights and civil liberties. Regardless of political leanings, this bill sets a chilling precedent that no American patriot should support.

While situations relating to the hostages deserve careful attention, they can and should be addressed in a separate, narrowly tailored bill. H.R. 9495, however, is a broad, unconstitutional overreach that strikes at the heart of free speech and freedom. It is unpatriotic and incompatible with the values we hold dear as Americans.

I implore you to stand as a defender of liberty and uphold the rights of your constituents. Be a patriot, listen to the voice of the people, protect our God given right to free speech as Americans, and reject this dangerous legislation. Vote NO on H.R. 9495. Thank you, God Bless and God Bless America." (Taken from here )

“Can I, Mom?”

Katherine sighed. “I don’t see why not. But you and I are going home first.”

The mother and daughter vanished, leaving Belle with her undead husband.

“You’re a natural, my dove. You might be more ready for this family than you think.”
