Joining Forces
"Nice to meet you again, David" she said, but David kept seriousness, Isobel turned to Katherine, Kowalski and Alex with evil smile, then happened amazing think, Lily raised her hands and wind came, pushing Isobel against tree, Katherine used situation and threw wooden peg to Isobel's shoulder. They had time to escape. Alex and David as the strong vampires took Skipper and they leave bloody place as soon as they could.
Finally they get to the zoo and jumped to the HQ, Alex and David laid Skipper in his bunk and Kowalski started to watching his wounds.
"Is he going to be fine?" asked worried Private.
"Yes, he must take some rest" said Kowalski, meanwhile brothers stood near.
"So, your humanity are back?" Alex asked.
"Oh, little brother, I do what I want to do…" David said in his bored-sociable tone.
"So why did you help us?"
"Complicated, now I'm saying goodbye, have a nice day and etc…" David said climbing on the ladder.
"Thank you so much from help" said Private.
"You're welcome" David said with little smile, of course he always have his nonchalance smile, but this time it was other…
"Wait, don't you want to help us?" asked Katherine.
"No thanks, I have other things so… maybe at other time…" he said and went out of the HQ.
"Alex, your brother isn't evil" said Kowalski.
"He's only between humanity and vampires indifference for others, you're his brother and you can help him find his way" said Katherine.
"You're right, but, it's hard to talk with him..." said Alex and looked down, meanwhile Katherine went to Marlene and Lily.
"Listen, I don't want to put you in danger, so it'll be good, if you'll forget these problems with vampire, ok?"
"But, Katherine we want to help" Marlene said.
"And I'll be useful" said Lily.
"By the way, Lily, what was that with wind?" Katherine asked.
"Um, right, it's our family secret, we were one of the most powerful family, it means, we're 'witches', I, our mother and you Marlene"
"Witches, it mean, special power? But Lily, I have never felt any power or magic in me" Marlene said.
"It'll come with time" said John, leaning against wall.
"Ok, to finished main things" Katherine said "We'll wait with having any plans to Skipper's awakening. Facts are: Isobel want something from us and we must kill her or drive out from the city. I see David is changing into a good vampire, we have to help him with that. And... Marlene's sister is a witch, Marlene too... it can be useful, of course if you want..."
"Yes, I do" Marlene said.
"Of course" agreed Lily.
"So, I'll go to vampires from Father Squirrel and warm them from Vampire's Council, we'll wait few days and council would be happy and calmly" Katherine said, everybody nodded.
"I'll go with you" said Kowalski and they jumped out of the HQ. John did it too with Marlene and Lily, he went out of the zoo.
They all hope that Skipper will be fine, he'll be good, if he survive night, so Katherine wanted to finished problem with Father's Squirrel vampires quickly.
"Lily, can you show me some magic?" asked Marlene.
"Of course, you can learn something" said Lily and they went to Marlene's habitat.
Meanwhile Rico and Private were waiting for Skipper's awakening, he had got so deep wounds, so Katherine had to give him some blood, vampires blood can heal. He was getting better and when Alice went to give them fish, Rico went out. Private heard moaned from Skipper's bunk.
"Are you alright, Skippah?" asked Private. Skipper opened his eyes.
"Yes, only a little dizzy" he said and tried to stood up, but he was still weak, so he sat in his bunk.
"I'm sorry, Skippah, it's my fault..." said little penguin.
"What? No, Private, it's not your fault, I chose it"
"But, if Isobel didn't kidnap me, you will be fine now" Private said and looked down.
"Private, nobody, even Katherine could stop her, she's too strong, don't be crude at yourself" said Skipper and hugged Private.
"Thank you, dad" said Private burying his face into Skipper's feathers.
"You don't have to thank me, son"
Meanwhile, Katherine and Kowalski have already told Father Squirrel vampires about Vampire's Council plan, they offered to help them, but Katherine couldn't let them do it. This mission will be most dangerous for vampires, they had to be fast.
Meanwhile David went to Marlene habitat. She was looking at Lily's show-magic.
"It's amazing" Marlene said.
"Yes, but it's tiring, so I should take a rest"
"Ok, of course, Make yourself comfortable" Marlene said and Lily went to the cave, David jumped in front of Marlene "Um, David, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing, just... anyway, I see you want to catch Isobel?"
"Yes and of course you don't want to help"
"Isobel is old, strong vampire, she like playing, so defeat her will be hard"
"Have you got any ideas?"
"I know, there's way, but for this is needed witch"
"Is it dangerous?"
"For us or for witch?"
"For both"
"For witch no, but for bait, yes"
"Bait?"
"Yes, I have a plan, but now I wonder what have they got, so..."
"David, it's the most dangerous mission and you want to wait for the last moment?"
"Yes" David said with smile on face.
"Ugh, ok, you don't want to help, you don't have to"
"Ok, ok, sorry I'll tell them my suggestion"
"Goo, bye David" Marlene said and David disappeared.
Meanwhile Katherine and Kowalski were walking through the central park when someone went to them.
"Hello, I bet you're Katherine?" pigeon asked.
"Um, yes..." Katherine said.
"Here you are" he said and flew away.
Katherine looked at letter, which pigeon gave her.

"I have to. Listen, when I go there, I would convince them to destroy this mechanism"
"It will be dangerous"
"Have we got any other chose?"
"Alright"
