Me: Sorry for the delay

Me: Sorry for the delay. And the short chappie. But as I was writing it my brother had a party and… well… Yeah. I don't actually remember any of that night……

DARREN DO THE DISCLAIMER!

Darren: Calm down…. Drunk ass.

Down in the bowels of the mountain, in an unexplored tunnel, Kurda sat huddled up with his hands over his face, and crying. Vancha and Darren were fighting over a piece of paper, trying to tell the other where they were supposed to go.

"It's left!" Darren shouted, a hint of laughter in his tone.

"No it's not!" Vancha retorted, loosing his battle with the giggles.

Seba and Larten were behind them with a small flock of Ba'Shans spiders. The spiders were tearing into more sheets of paper and moving the ripped segments into shapes. Seba and Larten were laughing.

"That one Seba. Move that one," Larten giggled, already having lost the fight with laughter. The spider Larten had pointed out started to move before Arra crawled up to Seba and whispered something in his ear. Seba started laughing and in turn told Larten what Arra had said.

The three of them burst into uncontrolled fits of laughter and the spider in question rapidly scuttled over to the crying vampire. It stopped a few feet short of Kurda and looked at him before moving forward more.

Since Kurda was too busy crying, and not looking at the torment his maps were enduring, he didn't notice the spider. The Ba'Shan spider finally made it over to the one-time Vampire General and scuttled over his leg. Kurda noticed that instantly and let out a blood-curdling scream that was worse than the ones he'd given when Vancha had been chasing him.

"GET. IT. OFF. MEEEEEEEEE!!" He screamed.

"I didn't know a girls voice could get that high Kurda," Vancha laughed, finally giving up his giggle fight. Darren also gave in to the spirit lifting laughter and soon the two princes were laying on the ground, Darren draped over Vancha's torso as laughter pain gripped their ribs.

The spider crawled off Kurda's foot, looking dejected – even for a spider! – but that didn't stop Kurda's scream and for another minute, until he realized the 'danger' had passed, he kept it up.

Vancha continued to laugh at Kurda's scream and managed to crawl over to him. "It's okay Kurda. You can make more."

Me: Bloody vampire speed.

Mer: OMG I'M IN THE ENDING!
