"Cookie?" Fraise got her sister's attention. Cookie had sat on the living room couch and turned on the television, but had her nose buried in a novel. Cookie looked up from the pages of her book, her gaze bored.
"Cookie what's Momma's necklace?" The jiggly girl asked.
Cookie was surprised that Fraise never had it explained to her before. "It's a cross," She said, "It's a symbol of Christian faith. Mom's a Christian, and she believes in God."
Fraise knew that. She navigated the avenue of her thoughts to come to her real question. "Why does she have to wear it all the time?" She asked, "She never takes it off."
Cookie took time to think of her answer, and purposely so. She closed her book and leaned forward to capture the attention of her sister's amethyst eyes wholly.
"Mom has to wear it, it protects her from things," She explained, "On full moons, as a devout Christian, it's her job to fight any vampires that come out to suck on your blood during the night. You know that vampires don't like crosses, right?"
Fraise looked surprised. "Why don't they?" She asked.
"They have twelve straight sides," Cookie drew a cross in the air with her finger, "Vampires hate the number twelve."
Fraise gaped at the mouth, "Whoa... I don't like numbers either."
And considering that Fraise knows monsters are, in fact, real in Cookie's Monsters, it makes total sense as to why she would so readily believe anything Cookie says about vampires.

I like the little story you've given us between Fraise and Cookie, It's nice to delve into the aspects of their relationship we otherwise might not see. Something like that doesn't happen often enough, I reckon.
Artwork's very nice as well, Lait still manages to look quite elegant and suchlike even while wearing as little as she is.

Huh. I was wondering if that was true about vampires not liking the number 12, considering that in some cultures vampires are warded off by leaving things out for them to count.

Is that vampires? Or has it just spread onto other mythos?
Because I remember reading when I was writing "Boo Hag" that one method of stopping a Boo Hag was to leave a broom by your window. It, for some reason, would feel compelled to stop and count the straws, thus saving you from getting your breath sucked out.
I think it may be somewhat common in those cultures to assume most creatures just like counting.
... or maybe you're just thinking about Sesame Street again.

It might be a bit of both. You know how stories about monsters go. They probably heard about the boo hag, and in the retellings boo hags probably got turned into vampires either by accident, or so that people wouldn't have to explain what a boo hag is.
