Heidi kept aiming the crossbow at the vampires. She narrowed her eyes as she was ready to fire the weapon but Randy stood between her and the students. Randy raised his hands up in defense of both himself and his friends. Just then Howard was brought back to the land of the conscious and his eyes snapped open at the sight of his sister.
"Heidi?! What just happened while I was out?" asked Howard
Oskar slightly inclined towards Howard while still keeping his eyes on Heidi, that was still aiming at them.
"Your sister showed up armed like some sort of terminator and believes that we were trying to kill you or something." said Oskar in a light whisper.
"Oh, ooh." said Howard realizing the situation.
"Heidi, how did you find out where we where?" asked Randy
"The tracker app. After Howard called, I used it." said Heidi
Everyone turned to Howard with glares in their eyes. Howard looked towards where they were all staring but when he found out that they were looking at him.
"Hey, don't look at me. I didn't call her." said Howard dusting himself off.
"Yes you did, you were screaming 'help, help' almost as if you were drowning. Now step away from the vampires." said Heidi
Howard then pulled out his phone and realized what had happened.
"Oh, I might've accidentally butt dialed you before the ghost girl over there tried to drown me and Oskar with clothes. All a big misunderstanding. Hey is that my crossbow?" asked Howard
"What? That's not important." said Heidi
"Yes it is, for me." said Howard.
Outside the mansion a powerful gust of malevolent wind made its way through the air and towards the mansion. The gust of wind brought with it some malicious force that sought to reek chaos wherever it went. The wind turned on its sights towards the mansion sensing a good target. With the speed of the night and the malicious intent of a vicious predator it set out to strike.
Back inside the mansion Randy and Howard had just finishing explaining what had just happened to Heidi in the hopes of getting her to calm down.
"So you see Heidi, this is all a big misunderstanding." said Randy slowly walking towards her.
"What about them?" asked Heidi looking at the students.
"They're our friends. Remember the vampires that helped us defeat Dracula. Here they are." said Randy
"Nice to formally meet you, Ms. Weinerman." said Lady Kryptina
"We promise that we are not here to harm you, besides we already had breakfast." said Gothetta causing Heidi to aim the crossbow at her. "And by that I mean normal food that you could also eat. Let's start over, my name is Gothetta Gothetticus. Pleasure to meet you."
"Wait, your name is Gothetta?" asked Heidi lowering her weapon
Suddenly a powerful gust of wind kicked the doors open and knocked everyone down to the floor. Heidi let go of her crossbow and consequently so did her hockey mask. A whirlwind began to circle around the room causing the lights to flicker and for some dishes, napkins, silverware and some cushions to fly around and causing a mess. The air began to turn colder as Randy, Howard, Lady Kryptina, Gothetta and Heidi started to get up.
"What is going on?" asked Lady Kryptina as she looked at the small storm above them.
"Remember when we said that there was some crazy beyond natural stuff happening? Well, it was something like this." said Randy as he pointed upwards.
A loud growl caught everyone's attention. When they turned around they saw the chef had now been turned into a Deadite. He was holding a cleaver and a cooking knife.
"Dinner is served." said the Deadite with a twisted grin.
"Is he serious?" asked Heidi as Howard silently grabbed the crossbow.
"Sadly, yes." responded Randy as he pulled out his sword and Gothetta gave him the dagger.
The students quickly got out of the way as they prepared to fight while the whirlwind still swirled around them.. The possessed chef jumped to attack the group but was met with Randy clashing swords with him. The chef moved with an inhuman speed and skill that forced Randy to mostly parry the attacks. The chef twisted and contorted his body causing Randy to doge the attacks and keep his distance.
Just as the chef thrusted his knife forward, Randy dodged it and cut his forearm with the dagger. The Deadite screamed in pain as his forearm boiled in pain and dropped his knife. The Deadite jumped back as it held its arm in pain.
Randy looked at the dagger with amazement.
"Wow, this is gonna be useful." said Randy as he gripped the dagger ready for another round.
"You will pay for that." said the Deadite snarling at Randy
"Oh yeah, you and what army?" asked Howard holing his crossbow.
"This one." said the possessed chef as the food began to come alive.
The chicken that laid on the floor stood back up with a sharp set of jaws on its head. The fish shot up holding knives in their fish with red eyes. The ham and the sausages grew spiked legs and joined the rest of the food.
"You had to ask?" asked Heidi as she took out her hammer.
"He always like this?" asked Gothetta
"Sadly, yeah." responded Heidi
The food and the chef attacked the group. Randy took on the possessed chef once more while Howard, Heidi and the vampire school fought off the food creatures.
Randy began fighting with the Deadite, dodging the possessed chef's attacks and countering with his own punches. The possessed chef slashed left and right at Randy facing him to dodge, but then Randy caught the chef's arm and twisted it just enough for his to drop the knife. Randy then used this chance to hit the Deadite with the butt of the dagger. Suddenly the linked sausages shot out and wrapped around Randy's throat. Randy began pulling at the sausages trying to get them off but they kept constricting around his neck.
"Hey leave him alone." called out Phanty as she began to pull at the sausages.
The vampire students knocked and slashed at the possessed foods with Lady Kryptina taking the lead and using her sharp nails to turn some of the fishes into sashimi. Lady Kryptina slashed through the fishes with ease leaving them beheaded and unable to continue. Gothetta and Oskar followed her example and added a few bites for good measure. The bites broke through the scales dropping the living fish sticks.
Once the fishes were done, Gothetta went to help Randy get the sausages off of his neck. After a few good tugs from both girls Randy was able to use the dagger to cut the sausages off of him and then took a good deep breath of air.
Howard wasted no time shooting the ham with plenty of arrows being shot by his crossbow.
"I never thought that a ham would try to kill me." said Howard as the ham finally fell.
Heidi meanwhile was fighting off the vicious chicken with her hammer but the chicken constantly kept moving around Heidi making it hard to hit. The chicken continued to run around while biting Heidi's legs and arms. Every time Heidi managed to get the chicken off of her it slipped her grasp and went back to taunting her.
"Stand still you little." said Heidi as she kept on hammering towards the chicken.
The chicken jumped on Heidi's back and began to slap her with its wings. Heidi dropped the hammer and tried to get the chicken off of her hair. Just as she got a good grip on the possessed chicken and began to pull it off of her, the chicken grabbed hold of Heidi's silver necklace. In a last pull Heidi got the chicken off of her and she then kicked it back into the fridge.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief at the fact that the fight was done. A thick fog came out from the defeated food and the chef leaving him down in the ground. The fog then flew out of the mansion leaving the inhabitants of the mansion tiered out.
"Is this what you were referring to when you said unexpected things were happening, Mr. Cunningham?" asked Lady Kryptina
"Sadly more of less, but as you can see we can deal with it." said Randy as he placed the dagger on his pocket.
"Oh come on, you barely handled me. And I was just messing with you." said Phanty
"Hey Cunningham, promise me that if my right hand is possessed you'll kill me not just chop my hand." said Howard.
Just then Heidi dropped to the ground as he body began to feel warm, almost burning up. Everyone turned towards Heidi as she began to groan in pain. Just as they did Howard noticed the silver necklace laid on the floor away from her.
"Oh no." said Howard
Heidi's muscles began to convulse and grow, tearing her suit. Her teeth grew into fangs, and her ears became pointy. Heidi's eyes snapped open now yellow and glowing as her body became covered in brown fur. Heidi turned around as Randy, and the rest took a step back. Heidi snarled back at all of them as her nails tore through her gives and boots.
"Oh, so that's why that girl looked familiar." said Phanty as Heidi howled to the sky.
Heidi jumped towards Gothetta and Randy, Randy ran towards her and at the last second skid underneath her. Once behind her, Randy shot out his scarf and wrapped it around Heidi before she could bite into Gothetta. Phanty hid behind her out of a reflex.
"Heidi you have to calm down." said Randy as he held her back with his scarf.
Heidi just continued to snarl towards the vampires.
"I suppose that she must be acting on certain instincts, isn't she?" asked Lady Kryptina as Randy struggled to hold her down.
"This isn't the time to theorize the reason of her actions. Howard get the necklace." said Randy as he began to pull Heidi back
Howard grabbed the necklace and threw it at Randy.
"Cunningham!" called out Howard as the necklace flew, completely missing Randy.
"Really?" asked Oskar sarcastically.
"Your aim suck." said Gothetta.
Randy continued to struggle against the thrashing Heidi until she turned around and jumped towards Randy tackling to the floor.
"RANDY!" screamed Gothetta as everyone feared the worst.
However, all they heard was a licking noise.
"What the? Heidi knock it off." said Randy as Heidi licked Randy's face like a tamed puppy.
Everyone gathered around but kept their distance mostly because Heidi was still a werewolf and they had no idea as to what could happen.
"What's going on? Because last time she was like this she tried to kill me." said Howard
"How long has Ms. Weinerman been under this curse?" asked Lady Kryptina as Heidi started to snuggle on Randy's chest.
"About a week, but thanks to the necklace she hasn't turned until tonight. The first time she did we called you guys to see if you knew what to do." explained Randy as he tried to get Heidi off of him, but to no avail.
Lady Kryptina picked up the silver necklace and looked at the saint and the symbols around it.
"Saint Sarah, a good choice. And the symbols and incantations should suppress the transformation with ease. Tell me Mr. Cunningham, did you do anything that night aside putting this on her?" asked Lady Kryptina
"Well, we called, Oxblood suggested tiering her out, but then I suggested biting her, and then-" began recounting Howard
"Wait did you say bite her? DID YOU BITE HER?!" asked Lady Kryptina cutting Howard off.
"No, Cunningham did. I wasn't gonna get anywhere close to her in that state." said Howard
Lady Kryptina let out a tiered sigh and rubbed her eyes.
"That could explain this odd behavior." said Lady Kryptina
"Um, some of us have no idea what you're saying could you explain please." said Phanty as she scratched Heidi behind the ears.
"Some werewolves, particularly around you age, tend to seek out a strong partner and they tend to do so by fighting. The male must show its dominance over the female by pinning her down and biting her ear, just hard enough to show their strength." explained Lady Kryptina
"Wait, you're saying that Heidi thinks that Randy claimed her as his own?!" asked Gothetta with a red face.
Upon hearing those words Randy recalled the event of the other day and quickly shot away from Heidi. Heidi whimpered at this and then growled towards Gothetta.
"Wow, wow, wow, Heidi I never meant to do that. I'm already in a relationship and plus you're Howard's sister. How do I unclaimed her?" asked Randy as Heidi began rubbing his cheek with her own.
"The female, if she wants to, can regain her freedom if she bites you back. Although that would carry the risk of passing the werewolf curse on to you as well." said Lady Kryptina
"She doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get that done." said Phanty as Gothetta started getting jealous of Heidi.
Randy grabbed the necklace and placed it around Heidi's neck. She slowly began to turn back into her normal self and she quickly passed out from exhaustion.
Randy carried Heidi to one of the chairs that the students had placed up right and placed her on it to let her rest. Randy took off his mask and then proceeded to help his friends to clean the house, it was after all a very old house. It took almost two hours but they were able to leave the mansion spotless and quite habitable.
"Phew that was a lot of work." said Howard as he put the mop away.
"Tell us about it, I always thought that Lenny's job was hard but I never thought it was this hard." said Oskar as he put away the duster.
"Well at least it's over." said Randy as he pulled his sleeve to wipe his forehead.
Just then Gothetta passed by them and looked slightly angry as she closed her eyes as she passed. Randy noticed her mood and quickly followed her knowing this would come to bite him, most likely in a literal way.
Randy rushed after her and finally caught up with her.
"Gothetta, what's wrong? Why are you angry?" asked Randy as they walked.
"There's nothing wrong, I mean you couldn't have possibly know." said Gothetta still with her eyes closed.
"I had no idea that my actions would cause her to act like that. For what it's worth I'm sorry." said Randy hoping for it to be enough.
"I already told you I'm not angry at you." said Gothetta before almost accidentally falling down the stairs.
Randy quickly shot his hands out to catch her and pulled her to safety. Randy held her so close that he could feel her heartbeat and smell her perfume. After what must've felt like hours, they made some space between them. They both had blushes on their faces.
"I'm not angry at you I swear." said Gothetta
"Then, please tell me what's wrong." said Randy
"She's jealous that Heidi was snuggling up with you so freely when she can only be with you for a short while." said Phantasma appearing behind them.
The young couple gave a small jump and then looked back at the specter with narrowed eyes.
"Well it is true." said Phanty
"Excuse me, this is a private conversation. What are you even doing anyway?" asked Gothetta
"Just hanging around, this place was pretty boring until you guys showed up." said Phanty putting her arms behind her head.
"Just who are you, really?" asked Randy
Phantasma placed her index finger on her mouth as if she were thinking of the answer.
"That'll be something you're gonna have to find out for yourselves." said Phantasma as she pressed her finger on Randy's nose before flipping it in a playing manner.
Phantasma flew back deeper into the mansion giggling like a crazy ghost, leaving Randy and Gothetta with more questions than answers.
"I don't like her." told Randy to his girlfriend
"She's trouble, but maybe we can trust her. For now, maybe." said Gothetta
