The station was almost completely dark but Dominic's dragon eyes allowed her to see clearly. "Amanda?" she called, "I brought you donuts." She walked further into the station but didn't see anyone. She set the donuts on a desk. "Hello?" Dominic called stepping into lobby. "Well, hello there." Dominic turned to look where the voice had come from. She felt her heart begin to race when she saw the ventriloquist dummy sitting on the couch staring straight at her. "Amanda that's not funny. You know dolls freak me out." Dominic yelled still searching for where her cousin was hiding. Long story short she had dealt with a doll possessed by a demon in the past and it had left her scarred. "You aren't so bad looking yourself." The dummy said shifting positions. Dominic took a step back and finally caught sight of her cousin. She and another officer were trapped in ice. "Oh crap" she said turning back to the dummy. His smile grew more menacing and aliens burst through the front door. They fired a freeze ray at her but Dominic easily deflected it with her own ice powers. A ball of purple energy formed in her free hand and she fired it at the aliens knocking them out of the way and giving her a clear exit.

Dominic bolted through the open front doors and saw the destruction that had been caused. She didn't stop to gawk. She just continued to run. Slappy got to his feet and hurried to the door laughing. "Ho we got a runner!" He whistled and a werewolf came running around the corner. "Go get her boy" Slappy commanded.

Dominic jumped over fallen powerlines and dodged around cars. She heard snarls coming from behind her and glanced back to see the werewolf pursuing her. It was not one of werewolves she knew. Dominic knew she wasn't going to outrun him in human form and even if she could he could easily track her. She had an idea. Dominic leapt on top of a car using it to gain height and jumped against a wall rebounding and colliding with the werewolf knocking him to the ground. Her claws outstretched and her eyes glowing purple she roared at him revealing that some of her teeth had become sharp. This werewolf looked different than any she had ever seen. Not just the fact that he was wearing tattered clothes which was rare to see in actual werewolves but the shape of his face was different. Much broader than a normal werewolf of his type. His ears were also closer together than they should be. The werewolf pushed away from her yelping in fear. It ran away as fast as it could, whining as he fled. This was a very young werewolf she realized. Dominic retracted her claws and turned back to normal catching her breath. She took a few deep breaths to calm down. She had to face her fear. Dominic waved her hand and a shadow responded, climbing the wall. She passed through it disappearing.

"What is taking so long." Slappy demanded growing impatient and tapping his foot. Suddenly the werewolf he had sent after the girl ran past in fear whimpering loudly. "What the?" he said open mouthed as he watched the werewolf run down the street. "You know you shouldn't send a puppy to do an alpha's job" Slappy jumped and turned to see the girl he had sent the werewolf after sitting in a chair. "Did I scare you?" Dominic asked. "You" Slappy growled. The room grew darker for a moment. When it returned to normal Slappy had changed positioned but so had Dominic. Slappy was even more surprised so he tried again and the same thing happened. Slappy grew a little frustrated and tried one last time. This time he didn't see her anywhere. "You know I usually don't let guys get this far till at least the third date." Slappy turned to see that he was sitting on her lap with a smile on her face. She was obviously amused at his confusion and didn't often get to play with her prey. Slappy jumped off her lap and backed away from her. "What are you some kind of witch?" Slappy demanded. Dominic's eyes glowed purple a she narrowed her eyes at the dummy. "Why do people always think I'm a witch? She yelled. "The real question here is what are you?" The dummy mimicked her glare. "I am Slappy." Dominic studied him. Her eyes turned completely purple. Whatever he was he wasn't a demon which made Dominic feel relieved. Satisfied her eyes returned to normal. "I am Dominic. You wanna tell me why the town is in chaos?" "Oh that." Slappy laughed, "That's what happens when the monsters escaped from their books." It was Dominic's turn to be confused. Slappy explained about being trapped in a book for all these years and she couldn't help but feel sorry for the monsters. The destruction also made sense. She had seen what happened when certain monsters first got their powers. Here there were at least a hundred angry monsters emerging from their prison of a book.

"So who trapped you?" Dominic asked. "My papa but you would know him as R. L. Stine." Slappy said now sitting opposite to her. "The guy who made the Haunting Hour?" she asked. Slappy raised an eyebrow. "What's the Haunting Hour?" he asked. "Oh it's a really creepy TV series that I used to watch when I was younger." She informed him. "You're kidding me." Slappy gasped. "No, should I know him from somewhere else?" Dominic asked. Slappy couldn't tell if she was serious or not. "He wrote the Goosebumps books." Slappy informed her. "I've never heard of them." Dominic stated. Slappy sat back with an awestruck look on his face. "Boy you must have been sheltered." He laughed. "Tell me something I don't know." She smiled. "So what now?" Slappy asked studying her. "Well I don't see a problem with you or the others walking free as long as you follow two simple rules. Keep hidden from humans and do not kill them." Dominic stated. "Why you got to take all the fun out of life." Slappy sighed. "They're not my rules. They are the rules of the magic and monster community." She said. "Monster community?" Slappy questioned. "You really think I'm the only monster?" Slappy was about to say something but a high pitched wail in the distance caught both of their attention.

"Oh no!" Dominic gasped jumping to her feet. "What?" Slappy demanded. "That's a werewolf distress call." She said moving towards the door. "So something's wrong with one of my papa's werewolves?" Slappy demanded following her. "No it's from one of mine." She said. "Wait!" Slappy called. "What now?" Dominic demanded turning back. Her eyes glowed purple. "You want a ride?" Slappy grinned pointing to a car that suddenly jumped to life. She felt a little bad now for snapping at him. "Slappy I appreciate the offer and that is a sweet ride but I can get there faster on my own." She said taking off running. "My car can get there faster." Slappy shouted. "Not unless it fly!" Dominic called back as her wings appeared in a burst of white fire. In a single powerful flap, she was airborne and moving extremely fast. Slappy gazed up at her smiling. "You are full of surprises." He commented before climbing into the haunted car.
