Al Drin Hoshizora: The things people do for family.

I am a burglar: Didn't you know already.

Sam and the man followed the river as they unknowingly neared Semele's house. Sam was beginning to get worried; the two hadn't seen any signs of David or Julie, and it crossed Sam's mind that maybe they had been attacked and killed by a wild animal.

"This river will take us to Semele's cabin," The man revealed. "She should probably know what's going on."

"Semele lives in the forest?" Sam asked. He briefly wondered how Semele wouldn't know about what was going on if she lived in the same area that the kidnappings were taking place in.

"Hey uh, mister?" Sam asked. When the man signaled for him to response, he asked, "What's your name. I never got to know."

"Bill," The man replied bluntly. "Bill Hemmers. Few people really know my name."

"Don't you have a family or something?" Sam asked, throwing a stone into the river to pass time. As he did, he noticed a figure floating down the stream. It looked familiar to him.

"Well, I had one dad," Bill said, unaware of what Sam had seen. "My mother died giving birth to me and my brother, leaving-"

"David?!" Sam shouted, horrified, when he recognized who the person in the river was. Immediately, Sam soared into the river and scooped David out of the stream, flying back onto shore with his brother in his arms.

"It really is him!" Bill said, dropping his gun on the ground as Sam knelt over David, worried when he saw his physical state. David's face was green, and his veins were showing, and blood and drool was dribbling out of his mouth and down his cheeks.

"He's ill!" Bill said, horrified. "And frightfully so. He'll die!"

"We have to seek help!" Sam suggested, biting his nails in anxiety. Bill shook his head, hopeless.

"The nearest hospital is miles away," He confessed as David's condition worsened. "We'll never make it in time!"

Sam looked anxious, thinking of something he could do to help. David was throwing up blood, and his green skin was beginning to pale. Then, after a moment's hesitation, Sam gave out a shout and suddenly jabbed his hands into David's chest where the wound was, ejecting a volt of blue energy, causing David to briefly spasm. As he did, Sam's eyes began to glow blue, and his breathing turned to a frosty blue. David began to flinch and twitch, and he became still. Bill watched on in amazement.

David's eyes shut for several moments, and when they reopened, they were the same glowing blue. The green faded from his skin, and his wounds began to heal. Sam closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and released another volt of energy. David immediately started coughing roughly, and sat up. Sam inched away from him, clenching his fists.

David put a hand on his chest where his wound had been moments ago. His breathing returned to normal. Immediately, Sam tackled David into a big hug, relieved that he was alive and well. Bill watched the two, and gave a relieved smile himself.

David returned the hug, himself glad to be out of Semele's clutches, but then he remembered the situation and broke out of the hug, saying, "We have to get to Semele's house now! Everyone's in grave danger!"

"We were just headed there," Sam noted. "Do you think she can help?"

"Semele's behind all of this!" David revealed.

"What?!" Sam and Bill both shouted in unison. David covered their mouths, grabbed the two and dragged them behind a bush so nobody saw them.

"Semele's a vampire," David quickly explained. "She's responsible for all these kidnappings that have been happening over the years. She sucks them dry and kills them. She kidnapped Julie, but she's still alive."

Sam's jaw dropped as he looked in the direction Semele's house was. Turning back to David, he asked, "Did she do this to you?"

David nodded. "She's very dangerous," He whispered. "We have to warn all of the campers. We have to call the police."

"We have to tell Crystal," Sam blurted out. "She's the closest to Semele!"

David paused, and sighed before confessing, "We can't. She knows."

"What?" Sam whispered as Bill's eyes widened. "But how?"

"She's with Semele," David said, repulsed. "Semele threatened her sister, and she forced Crystal to send kids into the forest for her. Amber doesn't know, though."

"Oh," Sam whispered, upset. "We still have to stop Semele and save Crystal from her."

David snapped at him. "Are you kidding?" He asked, angered. "After all she's done!"

"She was just trying to protect her sister," Sam pointed out, but David got to his feet.

"Yeah, by getting other kids killed!" He said, irritated. "I'm going back to the camp to warn everyone! I suggest you two go and save Julie. I'll be back!"

He then ran off into the forest, leaving Sam and Bill at the stream. They looked to the direction Semele's house was, and Sam donned a determined expression.

"Let's do this thing," He said confidently.

Janet scored a goal into the soccer net while playing soccer. She cheered happily as she was lifted into the air by her teammates, who congratulated her. In spite of her cheerful facade, Janet still couldn't get it out of her head that her family was in danger.

Where is Sam and David? Was all that was running through her mind. Getting off of the other kids, Janet ran to Isabella and Brenda, who had been watching.

"Have any of you seen Sam or David?" Janet asked, worried. "I haven't seen either of them in hours."

Brenda shrugged, and Isabella herself contemplated the situation.

"Janet!"

The girls jumped when they heard a shout come from the distance. The voice sounded familiar.

"Isabella!"

The girls turned around as the voice got louder. Then, they saw David barreling out of the forest and into the camp. Whereas the other children were startled, Isabella and Janet were relieved.

"David," Janet said, smiling.

David instantly hugged his sisters, then pulled away and said, "We're all in grave danger!"

"What?" Isabella asked. "From what?"

"I know who's kidnapping the children around here," David said. "Sam's going to stop her. We have to call the authorities now!" He rushed to the nearbye phone, but Isabella grabbed her arm.

"Who is it?" She asked, staring into his eyes.

David sighed.

"It's the head counselor, Semele."
