Wolf: Hello hello again!
Leo: Wolf successfully made it home from university. And now we are writing once more.
Wolf: Yup, so we own nothing, and on with the story!
The survivors stared at the fire, willing it to stay lit. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the flames stopped flickering and became steady once more. Sam drew a deep breath in relief and then turned to the twins.
"Ok, what exactly are you?" He asked them. The survivors that had stayed behind looked at him in confusion. Their bewilderment deepened when Katie shifted back into her human form.
"How did you do that?" Edna asked, staring at her, wide-eyed.
"It's a natural ability." Katie said.
"We will explain, but it will take some time, and I think we have more pressing matters." Yami said, gesturing towards Laura. Sam nodded and brought out the penicillin.
"Actually, we have something better." Meg said. "Yugi, you can go to work now." Yugi nodded and went forward, placing his hands on Laura's leg.
"What are you-" Everyone stared in surprise at the purple glow that surrounded Yugi's hands and seeped into the wound, healing it without a trace.
"Your turn." Yugi said to J. D. when he was done with Laura. J. D. could only stare at the diminutive man as he healed his wounds.
"Now will you tell us what's going on?" Brian asked.
"Wha…..what happened?" Laura asked, blinking in confusion as she woke up.
"Ok, we'll explain." Katie said. "You may want to sit down for this." Everyone sat, eyes trained on the four travelers.
"Katie and I are vampire-shape shifter hybrids." Meg began. Everyone just stared. "Sam, you saw both of us transform, please believe us."
"Ok, I don't think you have any reason to lie, and I did see you both transform, but Meg would you do the honours for those who didn't see you change." Sam asked. Meg nodded and shifted into a small black cat, with sea blue eyes. Everyone, who was left in the building on their medicine run, jaws dropped and Laura squealed quietly as she picked Meg up off the floor to start cuddling her. Katie and Yami snickered at Megs annoyed look,
"Umm, Laura, could you please let Meg go she's having a hard enough time breathing as it is." Katie asked through giggles, Meg mowed franticly in agreement.
"oops sorry!" Laura let Meg go and she immediately hopped off her lap and onto the floor next to Katie and shifted back into her human form, hair slightly bedraggled and gasping for breath.
"Dang you have a good grip." Meg commented to Laura, caching her breath and fixing her hair. Everyone laughed at that, and then Sam asked a question that seemed to be on everyone's mind,
"So, if you're vampire, or part-vampire, I'm guessing those thermoses..."
"Are filled with blood, yes." Katie answered. "We never take blood from people, we were raised better than that." Every one sighed in relief.
"But what are you doing here?" Luther asked.
"You don't think there are creatures like us just out there, trying to live their lives?" Meg asked. "But, we are here for a special reason."
"What?" Judith asked, eyes riveted to them.
"We are from another universe." Yami explained. "There are many universes, the sum of which is known as the Multiverse, and right now, it is in trouble."
"What kind of trouble?" Edna asked.
"There are these orbs, that keep the fabric of the universe strong." Yugi continued. "They have been taken, and hidden in the universes. If we don't find them all and put them back where they belong..." He hesitated.
"There is another world, it's known by many names, the Shadow Realm, the demon plane, and the creatures of that universe want only to destroy everything in this one. If we do not get the orbs back, they will be able to get through to these universes."
Silence met their words.
"That is incredible." Laura finally whispered.
"I always knew that there was something more out there." Luther said, patting Buddha on the head.
"So you believe us?" The twins asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, like I said, you don't have any reason to lie to us." Sam replied. "Even though it does sound a bit farfetched, I think in these times, it's wise to go on a little faith."
The day came that Sam's father came for them. The survivors watched happily at the tearful family reunion. Then Jack told them to come.
"Oh, we should stay here actually." Meg said.
"But you'll be warmer in the south." Jack said in disbelief.
"Dad, trust them. If they say they've got to stay, they've got to stay." Sam told Jack. Jack looked at him and then nodded. He reached out to shake each of the travelers' hands.
As he did his watch flashed in the sunlight. Yami gasped and touched it. An orb appeared and dropped into the snow. Yami yelped and fished it out, putting it into a pocket.
"What was that?" Jack asked.
"Something that will keep this universe together." Yami replied. Jack just looked bewildered.
"It's ok Dad." Sam said, and then stepped towards them. "I guess this is goodbye then?"
"Yup, we got all the orbs, time to move on."
"Is there anything we can do here?" Brian asked.
"It may be some time before all the orbs are found, more demons will probably get through." Meg said softly. "My advice would be to seek out the traditional medicine men and shamans, and learn from them about this. They usually have more knowledge than most."
Sam nodded and then the survivors said their final goodbyes to the travelers. As they disappeared Jack asked.
"What just happened?" Sam smiled and put an arm around his father's shoulders.
"You're not going to believe this..."
