Here's the first chapter people. :)

Chapter 1: The Being...

Rain... Heavy, wet, pouring rain went pouring so mightily from the day's clouds which were a miserable grey. This scenery can be seen through a window from within a hospital, and that viewer... Was a certain, purpled-haired vampire girl.

'' This weather sure is awful-looking... Quite represents the events from a while ago. ''

Aria quietly sighed to herself in sadness for all that has happened to everyone, and glanced over to see the Ramirez family sitting in chairs, as they all waited to hear any news about their injured father and brother. Aria's family weren't present at the moment though. Evie and Joshua went out to the hospital's entrance to get some fresh air 'cause Evie felt oddly dizzy and a bit tired. While Thatch was in the hospital's bathroom.

Aria blinked sadly, turned her face back to the window and watched the sorrowful-looking scenery from the other side of the glass. Aria began to think to herself.

'' I don't understand. Why did this all happen? How could something this terrible have happened to us? What did those three want from us, and what were their goals for it? And why... Did my hands glow when I touched that helmet, WITHOUT my Star Compact!? Wh- ''

'' Aria? ''

A voice brought her out of her questioning-thoughts as she turns to see Thatch, along with Evie and Joshua, looking at her with slight concern for her. Evie spoke softly with concern to her.

'' You looked really deep in thought there. Are you ok love? ''

'' I'm fine! It's just... ''

Aria took a pause as she glanced away sadly and said a little softly to them.

'' From after all that's happened to us, I feel so... Sad and confused about it. ''

Thatch frowned and placed a comforting hand onto her shoulder as he tried his best to console his girlfriend.

'' You're not the only one Aria. We're all feeling pretty down right now, and confused too. ''

Thatch's words DID make Aria feel if only a little better, as she gave him a tiny smile. Then Joshua spoke up as he asked Aria with a wondrous face.

'' I want to know something Aria. What exactly... Happened back there? When you touched that helmet, your hands started to glow a goldish-white which caused it to break and the guy screaming and writhing like he was in great amount of pain. Do you know Aria? ''

'' To be perfectly honest I... I don't know what happened. ''

Aria lowered her eyes as she explained to her adoptive family.

'' My hands just unexpectedly started to glow when I touched that helmet. I never had that happening to me before and the only magic and powers that I could wield from before were my Star Compact. ''

'' What about your other powers? ''

'' Huh? ''

Aria looked up at Thatch as he explained to her.

'' Remember that contest back in Scare School, to see who had the best scare? When I was bullied by those three kids. You had blue flames covering up your whole body, and both of your eyes were pure black while your left eye with that star-shaped pupil was glowing white. ''

'' ... Oh that power! You se- ''

'' Pardon me everyone. ''

The Manora family (as well as the Ramirez family) turned their heads to see a young woman who appeared to be in her twenties, and was a doctor. She had short bowl-like dark green hair which was kind of curled-up a little, neon yellow eyes and pale skin. She wore a grey-sleeveless dress with a white-long doctors coat and knee length boots of the same colour.

She speaks to them all as she firstly introduced herself to them.

'' My name is Reina Whitestone, and I'm here for the people of... Let's see. ''

Reina checks her clipboard for a sec before lowering it back down, and said to them.

'' Lucas and Dusk Ramirez. You all here for them? ''

'' Yes, yes we are! Are they alright? ''

Dawn and all the others came up to the doctor as they eagerly wanted to know if the two were alright. Fortunately, Reina gives them all a reassuring smile whilst she said to them.

'' Yes they're fine. Despite with a few broken ribs and the other a broken arm, they're both alright. ''

Everyone sighed in relief from hearing that the two older will be alright. That's when Fatch spoke to the doctor as he asked her with a slightly-pleading look on his face.

'' Could we go and see them? ''

'' Of course! Follow me. ''

With that everyone followed her to where the two vampires were.

Both Dusk and Lucas were in the examination room. Lucas was sitting on the examination booth (Not really sure what they're called) with an arm cast, while Dusk was laying on the bed with bandages wrapped around his stomach. Whilst he lay, he was gazing at the blistering rain through the window on the right-hand side of the room.

'' Sigh... ''

Dusk heard his father sigh there, so he turned his head round to see Lucas looking down at his feet sadly. Until Dusk began to speak to him.

'' You ok Dad? ''

Lucas looked up towards his son and tried to give him a smile as he reassured him.

'' Y-Yes I'm alright Dusk. How about you? ''

Dusk wasn't really buying it as he lowered his eyes slightly at him.

'' Dad... ''

Knowing he was busted. Lucas let out a small sigh of defeat and said to him.

'' Alright, alright I'm not ok. In fact... I feel absolutely dreadful. ''

Lucas had his sight onto the floor as he lowly admitted to his eldest son.

'' I feel like I've failed my role as a father. I failed to keep my family safe, I failed to try and keep my dear ones ''

Dusk was shocked and upset to see tears dripping from his father's eyes, whilst he tried to wipe them away to no avail, and trying not to break down.

'' I-I... After all o-f the-se... Years I- I didn't know... And now af-fter... Seeing wha... Ack! ''

Lucas couldn't continue to talk due to his throat tying up pretty badly now, when out of the blue... He felt a hand placed onto his shoulder which made Lucas look up, sees Dusk no longer laying on the bed and was now standing next to him, whilst giving him a solemn face.

'' Y-You shouldn't be up Dusk, get ba- ''

'' Please Dad! Just... Hear me out. ''

Seeing he was serious, Lucas did just that and was silent while Dusk began speaking to him.

'' You are not a failure as a parent, and you're not the only one who feels that way. Everyone who witnessed what has happened must be feeling terrible right now. ''

Lucas CLEARLY knew that he wasn't the ONLY one who was feeling down. He sighed as he quietly agreed with his eldest son.

'' You're right son. But I just cannot live with myself for not saying anything to Marco. I-I mean all I just stood there dumbfounded like some idiot, whilst one of my children was in a great amount of pain! I should've done something! But instead... It looked like that everyone and myself were disgusted with him. That's just not... True at all Dusk. ''

Dusk felt awful for seeing his strong father breakdown and beating himself up like that. So without a moment to spare. Dusk leaned in and hugs his father tightly, whilst made Lucas wide teary-eyed in shock as he muttered out quietly.

'' Huh? ''

'' We'll find away. We will find a way to rescue Marco and Aquilo! And I know that deep, deep down inside. Marco knows that we all as his family and friends, don't hate him for who he is. ''

Dusk gently pats his father as he said with a small-soft smile on his lips.

'' So don't give up. All hope isn't lost Dad. ''

Lucas didn't know what to say, nor couldn't for he was speechless from his son's words of determination and strength. With a small sniff, Lucas returns the hug using his good arm, and along with a small smile on his lips now when...

'' Mr Lucas and Dusk Ramirez? ''

Both male vampires quickly detached as they turned to see a young female doctor standing hallway through the half-open door. With a quick clearing of his throat, Lucas speaks to her.

'' Yes we're them. Is there something wrong ma'am? ''

The young woman smiles at the pair and just said.

'' Oh nothing's wrong. Just guests who are eager to see you. ''

With that she opens the door full, and in came a bunch of vampires who were hugging the pair of them (Gently mind you) and were relieved to see them.

'' I'm so glad to see you're ok love. ''

Lucas chuckled as he hugged his wife with his good arm, whilst saying softly to her.

'' Do not worry so my angel. ''

Dusk nodded as he said with a smile to them.

'' Not like we were gonna die or anything. ''

'' Yeah but you were still injured pretty badly back there. ''

Dusk looked down at Fatch and with a good-natured chuckle, he playfully ruffles his hair while saying to him.

'' That you are right little bro. ''

'' ... So ''

Everyone turned to Keira who wore a mixed expression of wonder and worry, as she asked everyone in the room.

'' What are we gonna do now? ''

Then Kyle spoke up to them now with a worried face as well.

'' Y-Yeah. Big bro and Aquilo are still stuck with them scary people! ''

'' And not to mention... My Star Compact is still in their possession. Who knows what they could do with it! ''

That made everyone in the room worry because with the three bad guys having the compact in their hands, who knows what evil. DIABOLICAL plans they could use on not only them, but the creature world AND the human world also!

'' Aria's right guys. ''

Midnight said to the others with a serious expression as she spoke.

'' With her compact in their hands they're bound to do something evil to not only us, but to everyone! ''

'' Exactly sis! But... ''

Katie looks down as she spoke in a lost tone of voice to her.

'' What can we do? We don't have a clue on what they're planning next and as for their world, we might not have a spell that could be strong enough to open it... ''

Everyone was silent for the moment until...

'' I'll tell you what we do. ''

Everyone turned to Fatch who had an expression of firm determination, and said to everyone in the room.

'' Our plan right now: Is to save them, and stop the bad guys! ''

(Meanwhile in The Otherworld)

'' I just can't believe this. I just CANNOT believe what has happened! ''

WitcyLina was pacing back-and-forth the room in anger and worry, while Wulfric and Thanatos just stood and stare at the witch. Till Wulfric spoke up and said in an easy-going tone of voice to the witch.

'' Look WL- ''

'' WitchyLina mutt! ''

'' Alright, alright WitchyLina. What's with all this fussing for anyway? I mean it's not like the end of the world or- ''

Wulfric was comically broken-off his sentence for WitchyLina was now close up face-to-face with him, as she said loudly to him.

'' Are you that much of an ignorant, imbecile!? That helmet SHOULD NOT have been broken in the first place! ''

Wulfric was pretty much shocked and confused now, but before he could say a word to her, WitchyLina snaps her head round, points at Thanatos and said.

'' Thanatos! You still have that compact? ''

Thanatos blinked at her in a slight daze, before replying to her.

'' Uh y-yeah I do... ''

With that he took out the Star Compact from within his cape and held it in his hand as he asked her.

'' But why- ''

'' Good 'cause I have a little mission for you. ''

Thanatos was taken back now. First the old hag was yelling and shouting about and now she has a MISSION for him!?

'' A mission!? For wh- ''

Then out of the blue. Slow. Padding. Footsteps... Could be heard from the tunnel-like entrance from the end of the room. The two men both had confused-yet curious looks whilst WitchyLina's look... Was that of grave worry and horror!

The footsteps slowly got louder, and louder, and louder and for what felt almost like an eternity! It stopped... And everything went silent. After a few more minutes of silence. Wulfric said to the two with a glance.

'' Is just me or where they the sound of- ''

'' RRAAAAHHH! ''

Wulfric and the two let out startled gasps whilst Wulfric let out a "Whoa!" as he dodged a flying object which nearly hit him on the head, and smashed against the wall into tiny pieces instead.

The three villains turned their heads back to the dark entrance, whilst the animal-like growling continues. WitchyLina said in a quiet voice of dead-end trouble.

'' Oh no... ''

Till finally... Something came out of the shadows and stepped into the dimly-lit room, and once it did. The trio were horrified and most of all DISGUSTED from what they were seeing!

It was the strange being and this time it looked ANYTHING but GOOD! Its torn-up clothing was now all pure black with purple markings, its skin was grey and had dark-purple like veins from underneath, its crystallised arms were now black and had purple markings as well, its tail was now double and slightly longer with scythe-like tips on the ends of them, and as for its wings... They were gone and now appeared to be completely wingless!

The being was also hunched over so the three could only see its now messier and wilder-looking hair which was dark purple with black streaks, and its wolf-like ears were black, slightly-torn and had dark-purple insides. When it let out a raggedy breath, it lift its head up and once the three saw its face... Disgusts took over their minds.

The beings face had purple-like veins and its eyes... Oh its eyes were such a sight! The right one was completely black with no pupil and had purple-like blood shots in it instead, whilst the left... Ugh, the left was completely crystallised over in darkish-crackling like static!

The being licked its teeth which where 10x sharp, and the only words which were spoken, were from within the trio's minds.

'' This is bad... "

'' How revolting! ''

'' Now I see why it needed a helmet... ''

First chapter done. Suspenseful end don't you all think. :)

This isn't looking so good. What's going to happen now I wonder? :(

The rest shall be known in the chapters to come. As always thanks everyone and for R:R ^u^
