Spain Hotel Room - Present Day
The curtains were open and the sunlight shone through, Annie moaned, her head hidden under a pillow. Annie removed the pillow from her face and moaned, her hangover hitting her hard. Annie climbed out of bed and made her way to the bathroom, not even noticing Fred was gone. When Annie came back out from having a shower, she grabbed some clothes to dress herself, as she passed the open door leading into Aidan's room, she slammed it shut, which woke him. Annie dressed herself, while Aidan changed in his room.
Aidan knocked on the door before entering. "Next time, I think Fred should plan the evening, her or me." Aidan said as he entered.
"Oh, shut up Aidan. Admit it, you had fun." Annie smiled, tying her hair up in a ponytail and facing the balcony.
"Fred in the bathroom?" Aidan asked, scratching the back of his neck.
Annie shook her head, "No she's still in bed, hasn't even made a sound."
Aidan smirked, "Unless she's crawled under the bed or sunk into it, I don't think she' there."
Annie turned around, "Fred?" Annie called out, but there was no answer.
They checked each others rooms and then Annie ran down to the front desk. When Annie returned, Aidan knew what the answer was, he could smell her fear and worry from when she stepped out of the elevator.
"No one's seen her." Annie said, closing the room door behind her. "People don't just disappear." Annie placed her hands on her hips.
Aidan walked over to the wall across from Fred's bed, he crouched down to and sniffed the air.
"What are you doing?" Annie asked.
"She went through a Gateway." Aidan rose back to his feet. "I've noticed that your Gateways leave a scent behind, that's what I smell here."
"What are you a bloodhound now." Annie huffed, sighed and then sat on the end of Fred's bed. "She wouldn't just leave me, I mean us. Where could she have gone?" Annie looked to Aidan.
As she did, a Gateway opened across from Annie's bed. Annie and Aidan approached the Gateway.
"Did you?" Aidan asked her.
"No." Annie answered.
They stared at the Gateway and before they knew it, they'd been sucked through.
The North Atlantic Ocean - On way to Britain
Annie and Aidan climbed to their feet, finding themselves in a white corridor.
"Annie, where are we?" Aidan asked her.
"How am I supposed to know." Annie kept her voice low.
Aidan pointed to a porthole. "Annie, I think we're on a ship."
Annie approached the porthole and looked out at the dark blue surroundings, a school of fish swam past the porthole. Annie backed away from the porthole. "I don't think we're on a ship, I think we're inside a submarine."
"A what?" Aidan asked.
Annie sighed, "Its sort of a ship, but it can go underwater. Lets just put it that way."
"Annie?" Aidan whispered, Annie turned to him and he stared down the corridor. "Footsteps."
Annie and Aidan weren't sure what to do, as a shadow appeared at the end of the corridor, they turned to run.
"You stop." A man's voice shouted as they turned and began running.
They didn't get very far, before they bumped into a floating black leather coat and fell back.
"Oi, mind the coat." The float coat spoke.
Annie and Aidan stared up at the floating coat, confused, just as the man who'd called after them appeared. He was a Indian-man, a long black beard, wearing a blue outfit and holding a sword in his belt. Annie and Aidan looked to one another, they knew things couldn't get much worse. Annie and Aidan were escorted to an empty room, where they were then locked inside.
"Great, now what?" Annie threw her hands in the air.
"You tell me, Gateway Keeper." Aidan turned to her.
Annie turned to Aidan, "This isn't my fault, Werewolf."
Suddenly the door opened again, in walked the Indian-man, the floating coat - now with white cream on his face and black circular glasses to show that he did possess a face - also with them was a tall man with dark-auburn hair in a smart suit, a woman in a black dress and a younger man maybe a few years older then them, with blonde hair.
"How did you get aboard this vessel?" The woman asked.
Annie and Aidan looked to one another, what were they too say. But then Aidan's heard suddenly spun back and he stared at the woman, as if he knew her, however it wasn't her, he knew, it was her scent.
"You're a Vampire." Aidan pointed out.
Annie stared at Aidan and then at the woman.
"And you are a Lycanthrope." The woman raised an eyebrow.
The men around her looked to her and then to Aidan and Annie.
"Who are you and how did you get aboard?" The Indian asked.
Annie swallowed her fear. "Would you believe we just appeared?"
The men all just stared at Annie. Annie took a step back, "Aidan, help." She whispered to him.
"Look, we don't want trouble, seriously we just appeared here." Aidan held up his hands.
"I do not believe this." The Indian huffed.
"What? You have a Vampire standing right next to you and you don't believe me." Aidan snapped.
Annie and Aidan had their hands cuffed and were left in the empty room, for the remainder of the journey.
"Nice one Aidan." Annie moaned.
"This isn't my fault, Annie." Aidan huffed.
"Oh, its not is it? If you hadn't have snapped at him, we wouldn't be sitting here in handcuffs." Annie argued.
"And if you had carried on talking, they'd probably have dropped us in the sea. Aidan snapped at her.
The Bridge of the Nautilus
"So who do you think they are?" Dr Henry Jekyll asked.
"Whoever they are, we're getting rid of them when we arrive in England." Captain Nemo answered.
Tom Sawyer, the youngest member of the League looked to the others. "I believe them when they say, they just appeared here."
Everyone turned to Sawyer.
"You do, and why is that?" Mina Harker raised an eyebrow.
"I just do, and I don't believe they're a threat." Sawyer added.
Captain Nemo turned away from Sawyer. "I will not have them walking my ship; when we arrived in England, they leave."
Kenya
Vivian had a pair of black trousers and a white shirt and black waist coat, that she didn't say where she'd got them from, but she gave them to Fred, the one thing that seemed to belong to Vivian was a pair of boots, Fred knew the clothes she was wearing belonged to a man, they were slightly baggy, but what did it matter, at least she wasn't wearing her PJ's anymore.
Fred, Allan and Vivian sat in the back of a carriage, on their way out of Kenya. Fred knew it would take days to get to Transylvania from here, if this was supposed to be fatal and world threatening, should they be rushing to get there.
"Stop." Fred shouted and climbed out of the carriage, she walked a few feet away from the carriage, before Vivian jumped out after her, Allan stayed standing next to the carriage, while Vivian ran after Fred.
"Fred where are you going?" Vivian caught up to her.
"This is going to take too long." Fred pointed out. "We could easily just jump there."
"Then lets do it." Vivian added, she turned around and motioned for Quartermain to come over.
Quartermain said thank you to the driver and walked over to the girls.
"Fred's going to open a Gateway and take us to Transylvania." Vivian informed Quartermain.
"I haven't been through one of these things, in a long time." Quartermain smiled.
"Can I ask, why are we going to Transylvania?" Fred looked to Vivian.
