Now for yet another chapter in which our heroes will either get a break, or only wind up in deeper trouble. …Depends on my mood l:3

Reviewer Thanks-A-Bunch

Elizabeth: Hamsters have always known kung-fu, though they keep their secret hidden by running in wheels all day. Gene likes reptiles and amphibians, that's why. And if I told you what was in the bottle, it would be an epic spoiler. …I've never read that Pooh story (though I really miss those books) but I agree that the logic is similar (and yeah, SOMEONE had to figure out Jimmy's werewolf-identity) …I did NOT know about that fact about FDR 0_o whoa. And yeah, I couldn't let Silver have amnesia forever (let alone keep Radio dead). And don't ask me why, but villains just never learn… and they love to use cliché lines for some reason. Anyway, I have updated, so tell the psycho-twins to go home.

Fangface the Second: (why did you bring up KFC? Now I'm hungry!) And yeah, Anchantor IS having a bad day… and he's about to take it out on the others.

Rudy awoke to the sound of snickering. "…couple of fags…" a voice was whispering.

"Probably had a wild night…" another voice added.

He looked over, noticing that the voices were coming out of the bushes.

…Then noticing he was lying on top of a shirtless Jimmy, now human. "Eep!" he gasped quietly, sitting up and scooting away from his friend. Oh, man, if Jimmy finds out I was on top of him, he's gonna kill me! Good thing I got up before he did… he thought.

"One of 'em's up…" One of the voices said, and Rudy watched as three of the oddest creatures stepped out of the bushes…

The first one was a minotaur, who wore knee-long jean-shorts and a sweat-band; the second one was a centaur, who's horse-half was brown and who's human-half wore a white tank top and a leather choker and had long black hair; and the third was a gnome, wearing torn jeans, a black shirt with the sleeves torn off, and a pointed black hat with a skull on it. "So, what brings you here to our neck of the woods, kid?" the centaur asked, having an Australian accent.

"Camping out with your boyfriend?" The gnome asked, his voice gruff.

"N-No… we're just lost, and he's not my boyfriend," Rudy replied, backing away from them and sticking close to Jimmy.

"Are you sure? You seem pretty close to him," The minotaur questioned, his tone deep.

"We're just friends, and we're looking for our other friends. …P-Perhaps you three, um, 'men' could help us find a way to town?" It was a stupid question to ask, he knew, after seeing the mischievous looks the three creatures gave him.

"Maybe… IF you do something for us, first," The centaur replied, licking his lips.

"Oh, for the love of Godmothers, Jake!" The gnome sneered. "Why is it that whenever we come across a teenage boy, YOU want to fulfill your desires?"

"Clearly he needs help," the minotaur scoffed.

"Hey, I'm not into EVERY teenage boy I see! I'm into girls, too!" The centaur snapped.

The gnome rolled his eyes. "Sure, whatever." he faced Rudy. "Ignore my friend, kid. Here's the deal: you give us your money, and we'll give you directions."

"The heck with money!" The minotaur scoffed, then looked at Jimmy lying on the ground. "How about this, kid: you and your friend come to my place for a snack. It's on the way to town, so-"

"Yeah, we know what kind of 'snack' YOUR talking about, Rex." The centaur scoffed. "The same kind of snack you had with those Hansel and Gretel kids,"

"Shh! You're going to spoil the surprise!"

"If they give us their money, we'll BUY you a snack," the gnome sneered, then looked at the centaur. "And sign you up for some therapy sessions,"

"I don't have a problem!" the centaur snapped.

"And I'm starving!" the minotaur growled, shoving them both away. "Screw you guys, I'm eating!"

"Oh, no you don't!" The gnome shouted, then jumped on the minotaur's back, hitting him on the head with a rock, and they slammed into the centaur, who stood on his hind legs and used his front hooves to hit the gnome in the face and into the river, while his human-arms broke off a tree branch and clobbered the minotaur.

"Jimmy… wake up…" Rudy whispered out of the corner of his mouth, nudging his friend.

"Hey! Help me out! I can't swim!" The gnome was shouting, splashing around in the water while the centaur and minotaur continued their brawl. "Yo! Anytime, guys!"

The centaur then kicked back with his back-legs and knocked the wind out of the minotaur, knocking him into a tree (which he knocked over during collision) and he fell unconscious. He then turned to Rudy, grinning a malicious smile. "Finally, I have you to myself," he said.

Rudy stood up, grabbing a rock. "B-Back off!" he snapped.

"Hel-LO! Still drowning over here!" the gnome sputtered.

The centaur only laughed. "That pathetic stone won't hurt me, kid," he stepped forward. "Just give in, and I'll help you and your little friend back to town," he said.

Rudy backed away, trembling as the centaur reached for him… until he felt a pair of arms wrapping around his waist. "We don't need your directions, and I'd suggest you keep your hands off my fag," Jimmy said, holding Rudy close and glowering at the centaur.

Look at me, you will see, what the moon has done to me

"Oh? And what makes you think that I can't take yo-" the centaur began to scoff.

Jimmy let out a vicious snarl- a werewolf-snarl, and the centaur jumped back, seeing that his eyes were glowing. "I said. Hands. Off." his cheek then brushed against Rudy's. "We werewolves tend to be territorial… especially with our mates. You got that, horse-meat?"

I'm a child of the brightest of nights

"G-Got it, mate." The centaur stammered.

The centaur then trotted away, leaping over the river. There was no way he was going to try to take on a werewolf. The gnome managed to grab-hold of his tail as he ran off. "About time!" the gnome snapped.

Come to me, you'll be free, of the trouble life can be

Jimmy then let go of Rudy, brushing himself off. "Um… what was THAT all about?" Rudy asked, stunned.

"Just a trick I learned from Silver while we were in prison." Jimmy replied, then gave Rudy a warning-glare. "Tell anyone about it, and you're going to wish that centaur carried you off."

Into hell I will send your lost soul

"My lips are sealed," Rudy said, promisingly.

"Good. Now, c'mon, lets-" Jimmy began to say, but froze.

"What is it?"

"Blood. I smell blood… a lot of it." Without another word, Jimmy took off.

"J-Jimmy! Wait up!" Rudy pursued his friend.

I will drag you into darkness

Meanwhile, the minotaur regained consciousness. "Ugh… hey… where'd everybody go?" he wondered.

Blu's POV

Let me give you a re-cap on what all has happened since those three boys came to town:

-My insomnia became worse

-A crazy werewolf came to town, along with Silver, and now they're both loose

-Danny is my long-lost cousin, meaning Snow had a couple sisters that she never told us about

-Red tried to rape Rudy (twice), then got killed… but still lived (damn it)

-Wolf went missing, then came back, only to be a suspect in Red's attempted murder

-Anchantor tried to put the moves on me

-Radio and Rudy have gone missing, along with Robin, Izzy and Jimmy

-Jimmy turns out to be a werewolf

-We meet the Djinn

…And now we're trudging down the mountain in search of our missing friends.

Man, I wish I could pull a 'Sleeping Beauty', but unfortunately suicide is the coward's way out, and I have too much dignity. You're probably wondering what the REAL 'Sleeping Beauty' fairytale is about. Well, since nothing is happening on our little trek right now, I suppose I could spare a fairytale…

Aurora was a princess who was sent out into the woods to help three fairies learn how to work without magic (unlike the fairytale, where the three fairies were ordered to hide her and all that). Anyway, it was a community-service job she had to take after running up her cell-phone bill. While she was out there, she met a boy named Peter (who you'd know as Prince Phillip) and blah blah blah they fell in love. Now, Peter wasn't actually a prince, as the fairytale said, and as for that witch, Maleficent- well, she was his mother. Shocked? I'd figure so. …Well, there was this rule that a princess HAD to marry a prince, so when Aurora told her parents that she fell in love with a peasant, they didn't give a damn. As for Peter, his mother was overly attached to him and wouldn't allow him to see other women due to the fear of empty-nest syndrome. As the weeks went by, Aurora grew to miss Peter and refused to see any guys her parents would set her up with, and eventually decided to commit suicide. By that time the king grew so worried about his daughter's condition that he ordered the guards to find Peter and bring him to the castle, not knowing that Peter had run away from home to find Aurora, and went to search in the woods. As if fate would have it, Aurora happened to be staying in the cottage of the three fairies to overdose on sleeping-pills. Peter happened to bust in and give her the Heimlich-maneuver and CPR, and saved her frickin' life. As a reward for saving his daughter and giving her a reason to live again, the king allowed Peter to marry Aurora, making him a prince. ….The end.

Don't ask me why the Grimm Brothers write these stories differently. Authors tend to twist tales too much. (a/n: irony…)

I'd like to tell you another tale, but a massive werewolf has leaped out in front of us, so now I have to take action.

Wolf's POV

I knew something was wrong when I realized my father hadn't come after us in the mountains. Surely he had followed me through the tunnels and tracked us down! …Though, if he was tracking us down, that would mean he had beaten my mother.

Godmother, I hope he isn't tracking us.

As we walked down the mountain, I couldn't help but look at Blu. The way she trudged along and how her eyelids were slowly closing worried me, like she hadn't slept since the morning when we found my father's footprints. I wanted to do something that would help her, but every time I thought of something troubles of my own would invade my mind: my father, what happened to Red, my animalistic urges…

The moon I see, oh the moon I feel

How many nights we've spent together

I looked at my medallion. At this rate, I would never inherit the power of the Blue Fairy. …Maybe I don't deserve it. Perhaps I should pass it down…

You are my life my most trusted friend

I am only what you have made me

It sounded like a good decision, especially since I had attacked Red and nearly killed her… at least, the blood on my paws proved it. Ever since I first tasted blood, I've craved it with nothing to substitute it with. The werewolf-half of me is starting to take over, and there was no telling who'd I go after next.

The stars all shine in awe of you, the oceans heed thy call

And I am just a servant to thy will

My thoughts were once again interrupted when a werewolf leaped out in front of us, and GUESS who it just HAD to be?

The kingdom of the night is yours, so guide me on my way

"Ah, there you are, son." My father said, smirking. "I was wondering where you ran off to."

Show me life to end and I obey

Jimmy's POV

"It's over here," I said. I don't know why I got so worked up over the smell of blood… something just clicked in me. Possibly part of the whole 'werewolf' thing.

Most people don't realize they're werewolves, and often black out with no memory. Not me. I knew I was a werewolf the moment Silver took a swipe at me and drew blood. Looks like my foster-dad passed down a trait to me. ('Wonder if that meant we were related, now…)

"What is it?" Rudy asked once he caught up to me.

We both looked over, seeing Robin and Izzy kneeling beside a she-wolf… not a female werewolf, but a normal female wolf (why someone gave the two species the same name I'll never figure out). It was all gray with white paws, and looked torn up pretty bad, as if it just faced off with one hell of a monster.

Izzy spotted us just then. "Jimmy! Rudy!" she exclaimed, running up and leaping into Rudy's arms.

"Izzy! You can talk!" Rudy gasped.

…Great. Another animal that won't shut up.

"Jimmy! Are you alright?" Robin gasped, running up to me.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine… save the fact that I'm part-wolf, now." I scoffed, looking down at the scars on my side.

"I figured as much, after finding your footprints and jacket," he then handed me my jacket, which I quickly slipped on.

Personally, I didn't want to show off the OTHER scars I had.

"So… what happened to that wolf?" Rudy asked, and I noticed how pale he started to look at the sight of the dead wolf.

"Apparently, it tried to fight a werewolf… and lost," Izzy replied, hopping out of Rudy's arms and pointing at a large set of werewolf-prints.

That's when we heard a scream. "And it sounds like said werewolf isn't too far off," Robin said, then took off. "C'mon!"

Sounds like SOMEONE is in the mood for some butt-kicking.

Robin's POV

As we ran, I glanced back at Jimmy, catching a glimpse of his scar.

Father take this heart I bring

I winced. Jimmy and I both knew what he had become… despite how many times I had prayed that I was wrong.

Father are you proud?

I shook my head, wondering if things would be different if I had never left… if Jimmy would have been more safe if I stuck around. But no. Ashley Krook told me she was pregnant with my son, I got cold feet, and just HAD to come running back home and become a pick-pocket. Though, if I hadn't, a phony Prince John would have caused misery throughout the land, and Lord knows what would have happened to Marian, my new love. …Though, none of that seemed to matter now.

I your son the chosen one have heard your call again

Because of my ignorance, my son was a werewolf.
