A/N: First chapter is short, I promise the next chapters will be get longer. Hope you like it!
"Just a yes or no. A nod of your head! C'mon, I know you know!"
Helen did not even look from her computer screen, smiling at Henry's questions. He sat in the chair in front of her, a small pad of paper in his hands as he made notes of her answers. At least the answers she actually gave him.
"Area 51 is real, I know it is. Right? Doc?" She still gave no answer but typed steadily on her keyboard. "Okay, how about..." He flipped several pages in his notebook. "What about World War II, D-Day?"
She finally stopped her typing and looked at the young werewolf in front of her.
"Yes, what about it? It happened if that's what you mean."
"Where were you?"
Again he was met with silence. She seemed to pause, as if she wanted to tell him something. He watched her eagerly, yearning to finally hear one her more infamous stories, however, she thought better of it, turning back to her computer.
Henry let out a long sigh, throwing his hands in the air in exasperation. He got up from the chair, tossing his notebook on her desk and walking away.
"I give up!"
Helen chuckled softly, glancing at his notebook and see the words "aliens" and "secret Nazi hunter" scribbled on the top page. Just then Will walked into her office reading what was clearly one of her old files.
"Uh, Magnus, why haven't you ever told me about this case before?" He said, holding the file up in front of her. Henry had stopped when Will entered and now sat on the couch in her office, listening intently.
"And which case might that be, William. I do have a great deal of files you don't know about."
"Moca, Puerto Rico. 1995."
"Oh."
Will looked at Henry, the same look of surprise on their faces. Helen Magnus actually seemed to be slightly taken aback, something neither of them had seen happen too often.
"Magnus, is this what I think it is?" He looked back at her, his eyes searching hers, wishing, not for the first time that he could read her thoughts.
"You have to understand, Will, I never had the chance to finish that particular case."
"Your file mentions a creature that killed several animals by draining the bodies of blood through several small puncture holes. That a local reported seeing something that looked like some sort of kangaroo type creature with large, oval eyes, and covered in slime." He looked up from the file again, as if expecting her to say something. She studied his face for a moment and then spoke.
"How did you even come upon this file? As I remember it was filed in the one of the old filing cabinets in the east end of the Sanctuary."
"Right." Will said, as he realized something he probably should have mentioned earlier. "I received a call from a Dr. Luis Coleman. Says the creature is back but this time it's killed a person. Body completely drained of blood. He asked for you by name, which is what made think you had been there before."
Suddenly Henry jumped up from the couch, realization dawning on him. He pointed from the file in Will's hand to Helen and back again, his mouth opening and closing in disbelief.
"What? Are you saying? Is that the-"
"Henry-"
"There's nothing else it could be, Magnus. I just can't believe you didn't tell us... I've read dozens of your old files and never heard anything about this"
"Will, it was nothing I ever felt warranted being mentioned, there's not even any true evide-"
"Wait!"
Helen and Will both stopped talking and looked to Henry, who seemed a little unsure what to say now that he actually had their attention. He recovered quickly, though.
"Are you actually telling us that in 1995 you investigated El Chupacabra?"
A/N: Just a quick note about the accuracy of the story. I will be using facts from the actual documented Chupacabra incidents. However, the Chupacabra histories of the towns of CanĂ³vanas and Moca Puerto Rico will be switched mostly because, and I'm not too proud to admit it, because I like the name Moca more than CanĂ³vanas...
I'll post more notes as the story goes on.
I live for your reviews =)
