Sorry. I kind of replaced this chapter with chapter 5 so now I have to rewrite 4 because I lost the file. Who knows maybe this time it'll be better this time round. Start the fic.

A vulture circled the graveyard looking for his next meal. He saw an open grave and dove inside hoping for some rotting meat. Unfortunately the vulture didn't pull up in time and crash landed inside. An angry skeleton rose from his grave with the vulture caught in his rib cage.
The skeleton pulled the vulture out giving him a death glare. However, before the skeleton could do anything to the vulture a humming started to be heard. It started out softly but started to grow louder. The two creatures of the night looked up to see the plane that Frank and Wolf were piloting was setting up for a landing right where they were standing.
The skeleton and the vulture(who completely forgot that he could fly) did the only wise thing that one could do when faced with such a situation…they ran like the dickens! They ran faster and faster but the fact that they could not out run a plane had yet to sink into their minds. Just as the landing gear was deployed the skeleton and the vulture fell into a ditch narrowly avoided being crushed.
As soon as the door to the plane opened Todd raced out with Maurecia hot on his tail. He ran into a carriage that was being driven by a man in a cloak with a monocle wearing a stove pipe hat.
The carriage shook as Todd shouted an "Ow!!!" followed by a lovesick sigh.
"Maurecia, at least punch me in my other arm!" said Todd.
"Anything for you Todd!" said Maurecia.
The carriage shook again followed by another shout of an "Ow!!!"
"Hurry now students!" said Mrs. Jewels.
As everyone else entered the carriage Drac flew over to the driver and changed back into his normal self taking a seat right next to him. The driver didn't seem the least bit surprised to see him.
"Thanks for the ride Hyde, the others are parking the plane but they'll catch up, anyways we really appreciate this." Said Drac.
"No worries Drac, I'm rooting for you guys!" said Mr. Hyde.
He whipped the horses to get them to start moving. As the carriage moved through town Todd couldn't help but notice that the villagers were shouting angrily at them while holding pitch forks and torches.
"Um should we be worried about those villagers? They seem kind of upset about something." Said Todd.
"Oh nonsense Todd, they're probably just jealous because they didn't win." Said Mrs. Jewels.
"But they…oh forget it." Said Todd.
The carriage pulled into an old castle, they went inside to see a check in room with a layer of dust on everything. For some odd reason there was a sarcophagi partially opened.
"Must be the maid's day off." Said Mrs. Jewels.
However, they failed to see a certain vampire bat fly into the sarcophagi starting to change back.
"Hey did anybody else just hear something?" asked Todd.
"It was probably just this funny closet." Said Myron pointing to the sarcophagi.
Just as Drac had barely gotten a hand out Myron slammed the sarcophagi shut on it. There was a muffled cry of pain coming from inside the 'funny closet'.
"What was that?!" asked Dana.
"Probably just the castle, it does look pretty old." Said Maurecia.
"Okay class, I want you to all go to your rooms while I try to find someone that works here." Said Mrs. Jewels.
"Yes, Mrs. Jewels." Said four out of the five children.
Wolf and Frank met Drac in a secret room which acted as their base of operations. Wolf climbed a ladder and stuck his face into the back of a painting. This magic painting allowed for him to see out of any painting in the castle first he would have to check on the boys.
"This is some interesting wall paper." Said Todd.
Todd was busy looking at what he thought was a painting of a scarab on the wall…that is until said scarab crawled up the wall and out of sight.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't see that. Myron, what are you doing?" asked Todd.
"I'm looking at this funny picture of the funny dressed man." Said Myron.
Myron pointed to a renaissance man with a beard.
"Yeah well I'm going to go help Stephen unpack, let me know when your done." Said Todd.
The head of the picture man suddenly morphed into Wolf's head and snared at Myron. Myron yelped and ducked under the bed.
"Myron, what's wrong?" asked Todd.
"The picture…TERRIBLE!!!"
Todd looked up at the picture to see that it was just how it looked last time.
"Well it's not the best picture I've seen but I wouldn't call it terrible. Hey, let's get the girls and explore the castle."
Wolf pulled his head out of the picture and smiled down at his ghoulish friends. "This is going to be easier than we thought!"
Wolf put his head back in to try to scare the girls.
"I love that picture on the wall, don't you Dana?" said Maurecia pointing to a picture that looked similar to the one in the boy's room.
"It's okay I guess." Said Dana.
"It reminds me of Todd." Swooned Maurecia.
"Why do you like him so much anyways? I mean I know you think he's hot but is that it?" asked Dana.
"Well it started out like that but he's always trying help everyone…and he's pretty smart too, and…"
Dana giggled before shouting "ENOUGH WITH THE LOVE!!!"
The man's head in the picture morphed into Wolf's head snarling at them.
"Wow, what a cheap effect." Said Maurecia.
"Yeah, it must be done with computer animation or something." Said Dana.
Wolf pulled his head out and gave a sheepish grin to his friends. "Okay, maybe it won't be easier than we thought."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Maurecia, Dana, its Todd. Me, Myron, and Stephen were about to go explore the castle and we were wondering if you wanted to come with…"
The shot open revealing Maurecia with hearts in her eyes.
"I'd go anywhere with you Todd♥."
With a swing of her fist Todd was sent spiraling backwards down the hall.
That's the new chapter 4, I tried to make it look like the last one did and can only hope I did a satisfactory job.
