After chasing rumors for days, they came across a witch coven the Wizard visited in the 70's. Most of the witches wouldn't give them the time of day but one witch, Carmen, agreed to help. Her price was a bit crazy and weird but totes like something a witch would ask for. She wanted them to fill a container with their blood. All four of them needed to slit their wrists over the jar. Alfred had never done anything like this before and was really creeped out. He knew he wouldn't die from it because he was a vampire and all, but it was still a bit hard to hurt himself like that. Gilbert ended up doing it for him while he covered his face. Mattie and Amelia would have both called him a silly baby. It was so strange to watch his skin heal before his eyes. Ten minutes later there was nothing but healthy skin.
The dark and beautiful Carmen requested an item from the Wizard. Francis retrieved a ring from his pocket and placed it in her palm. Francis' hand lingered a few seconds more than was socially acceptable before running his fingers down her arm. The witch returned his sultry smile.
"Um, Francis, you can flirt later, dude. This is kinda important."
At Alfred's comment, Francis slowly released the witch's arm and took a step back to allow her to work. Alfred knew they would probably be delayed a night as Francis tried to bone this chick. It didn't really bother him that Francis was such a man whore but it occasionally caused problems for them all.
Carmen threw the ring in a bowl that contained pebbles and other odd things while saying the spell. She took a spoon and scouped some of the blood from the jar they'd just filled and sprinkled the blood over the contents of the bowl. After saying the spell a few more times, she dumped the contents of the bowl over a map of the world. The pebbles zoomed about before each came to a stop. The ring rested in the center of the map, unmoving. Carmen chanted louder and louder until finally the ring slowly moved over the UK. Carmen's legs weakened and she was caught by Alfred before she could get hurt.
"His spells are so strong. Look. All the pebbled were distracted. They went to his traps and places he left a lot of energy. Not a single pebble joined the ring. There's so many. The ring can barely focus in on a specific place."
"Of course he would be in Britain. That old hermit is probably living in a cave somewhere talking to his fairies." Francis sighed.
"How are we gonna find him when we get there? It's like a whole country."
"We know a few of his old haunts. But this does help us a lot. A wizard as traveled as him could have been anywhere. Maybe he can tell my fortune after he's done with you. Unlike Francypants and Mr. Sunshine, I have no beef with him. Kesesesese."
After having to get Francis uncursed because he'd angered Carmen, they were on their way. Alfred was really anxious about getting on the plane. He'd never flown over water before. What if the plane crashed?! What if they got stuck on a magic island like off of Lost?! Alfred didn't think he would last a second against the big cloud monster. Before they boarded, they doned their super dark shades. The sun was just setting, so they would have a night flight, but it was still too bright for a vampire.

Mathew was on guard duty this time. He was glad the cell had been cleaned recently so there wasn't too much of a smell. The creature behind the bars hadn't budged an inch. It still befuddled him how they could keep this thing alive. It was cruel. They should just put the thing out of it's misery. He understood that it once upon a time was Roderich, Berwald, Vash, and Eri's ancestor but none of them had been born when this thing was truely alive. How did they even know? This thing could have used mind tricks to try and save itself. When Eri brought him something to drink and his phone charger, he asked her about it.
"When we first saw Ludwig, we thought he was our Vati returned from the grave. Our Vati was turned and slain by us a few years before. I was just getting over the nightmares. He looked very similar to him. And apparently Roderich is the spitting image of his cousin. That's how he found us. After realizing we were his relatives he just surendered. It was so strange. Vash said we couldn't trust him no matter what he said or did, he would just hurt us like Vati did. Vash locked him away down here and no one but us knows about it. The other hunters would kill him if they ever found out. So it's a secret, okay?"
"I won't tell anyone, promise. If Alfred surrendered would I still have to kill him?"
"I don't know, Matt. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
After Eri left, Mathew popped open his Monster energy drink and half smiled at the coincident. After taking a sip, he looked over into the cell to look at the real monster. Instead of laying on it's mat on the floor, couldn't give it a real bed or it would have something to use as a weapon, it was sitting upright looking at the door Eri just exited. It better not try anything.
"She reminds me of my daughter."
Mathew almost missed it. The vampire's voice was so hoarse and heavily accented. He watched the vampire with amprehension, no one told him it would talk to him. He avoided eye contact so it couldn't hypnotize him with it's vamp eyes. He was hesitant to respond. He didn't want it trying to fool him into opening the door. Before he could respond, it spoke again.
"If your brother loves you, then you have nothing to fear."
Mathew couldn't help meeting it's eyes out of shock. They were shockingly blue this time and watched him with clarity. It'd been listening to their conversations. Just the ones down here? Or could it hear upstairs? Did they know about this? Why didn't they tell him about it?
"Just like how I have nothing to fear from you?" Mathew finally responded.
With that the vampire turned away and curled back up on its mat. Mathew took another swig of his drink, cleaned his glasses on his shirt, and went back to playing a game on his phone. It was the kind of game Alfred would have scoffed at and called a 'pussy' game not a 'real' game like he played with killing and fighting and guns. Mathew continued to play the arcade game and miss his twin.
AN: No one's correctly guessed what Hungary is so imma just give it away. She's a Sucubus. I started writing a mindmeld sex scene between her and Roderich but I didn't like how it came out and deleted it. Unlike Incubus, the male versions, Sucubi can jump into dreams so I was going to play on that. Carmen is Nyo!Spain if anyone was wondering. Every character mentioned so far, even if they didn't have a name, has been Nyo, 2P, or regular.
