Sorry for the delay on this one, but please enjoy the next chapter for out of the dark. Also, I wanted to get everything changes out, but that might not happen until before the holiday. Enjoy.

Moon and Eclipsa stood, staring at the dark castle in front of them while Star's eyes widened and she stepped back in slight fear. Marco looked at her in confusion and arched a brow, "Are you okay, Star?" the undead princess looked at her mate and Marco frowned, "We're not dropping anyone off…I'd probably go on a killing spree if they tried to leave you here…we're just trying to find out what happened to Eclipsa's daughter,"

"Right," Star let out a shaky breath as she shook her head, "I just can't get past the torture that goes on behind those walls," Marco inhaled slowly before taking hold of Star's hand and the four of them began walking towards the castle.

Moon and Eclipsa watched as Star and Marco tossed the three guards away from the door and against the wall, causing the robotic guards to shatter upon impact. The two Vampires looked up and began sniffing the air before they looked back with wide eyes, "What?" Eclipsa shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, "What's the matter, dears?"

"We smell a being mixed of Mewman and monster," the two adults stared at the Vampires with wide eyes as Marco took a deep breath and shook his head, "We better get in there and find out if your daughter's really here or not, Eclipsa," the two nodded before they followed the undead teens through the castle's doors.

The four walked down the castle's interior, Star and Marco tossing the guards aside as they passed them and ignored the cries of the imprisoned princesses. Moon looked at her daughter and her mate and frowned, "Star, Marco, are you two sure we're going the right way? It seems we're walking around without any true indication on where to go an-"

"The scent is getting stronger, mom," Star looked over her shoulder and shook her head, "We're almost there," the adults sighed and nodded as they continued to walk down the hall.

The four soon approached the headmistress's office and Star's eyes widened as Marco looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong, Star? The scent is strongest behind that door an-"

"M-Marco…t-t-that's Miss Heinous' office…but…but if that's where the scent is coming from…that means…Heinous is a Butterfly," confused, Marco stepped away from Star and pushed the door open and saw a woman sitting behind a desk, "Marco!"

"What's this? Two Vampires and a boy in my school," the woman stood up and narrowed her eyes at the four, "Well I will not have any of this. I will-"

"M-Meteora?" Eclipsa stepped past Star and Marco and the woman stared at her with wide eyes, "It's been so long…I almost didn't recognize you, sweetie,"

"W-what…no? My name is Miss Heinous and I am the headmistress of Saint Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses an-"

"You smell of Mewman and Monster," Marco narrowed his eyes as he slowly stepped closer to her, "Apparently your name is Meteora Butterfly and this woman," he pointed towards Eclipsa as he shook his head, "is Eclipsa Butterfly, your mother before the High Commission imprisoned her and your father and gave you away to this school,"

Meteora stared at the four before her body began shaking and claws began forming on her fingertips and fangs began forming in her mouth as a tail began growing out of her lower back as she grew in size. The four looked the monstrous woman as she turned and jumped out of the window, "W-what was that?" Star arched a brow.

"Oh, that was her monster side coming out to play," Eclipsa explained calmly, "It looks like she got it from her daddy,"

"How?"

"When a Mewman and a monster love each other very much, they-"

"No!" Star, Moon and Marco snapped in unison before Moon spoke, "We don't need an educational lecture on the birds and bees, Eclipsa, right now we need to find you daughter before anyone gets hurt," looking down at the two teens, Moon narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, "You two are going to get back to the castle and leave this to us,"

"What? No, mom, we want to help an-"

"You two helped by confirming she is still alive, and now you can help by returning to the Butterfly castle," Moon stated sternly and the two stared at her in disbelief, "Go, now!" the two jumped before turning into bats and flew out the window as Moon sighed and shook her head, "Let's go, Eclipsa. We better find your daughter before anyone gets hurt," Eclipsa nodded before the two women turned and walked out of the office.

The two bats flew through the window leading to Star's and Marco's room before landing on the floor and turned back to Star and Marco, surprising Sabrina, who was making the bed, "I thought you two were out looking for-"

"We're back!" Star snapped and Sabrina stepped back in slight fear.

Marco sighed as he shook his head and placed a hand on Star's shoulder, "Estrella, it's not Sabrina's fault. Your mom had a good point in sending us back," Star looked over her shoulder in confusion, "If we had gone out with them and got stuck in an open field as the sun was starting to rise, we'd both be dead…and how do you think your parents will feel about their daughter dying before them?" Star growled under her breath as she shook her head and Marco looked up at the auburn teen and frowned, "Finish up here, Sabrina and then you can stop for the night. Star and I are about to go down to the dungeons and get something to drink,"

"Can I go with you two?" the two undead teens looked at her in confusion as Sabrina frowned and shook her head, "It…it's just…I'd like to see some of the members of the cheer squid…if you're not going to bleed them dry," Marco sighed as Sabrina frowned and lowered her head, "But if you two want to be alone, I'd understand and-"

"You want to see how Chantelle and Andrea are doing, right?" Sabrina slowly nodded as Star looked at Marco and Marco inhaled slowly, "Finish up here and then we'll go down to the dungeons," Sabrina nodded again as Marco looked at Star, "Who do you feel like going to tonight, honey?"

"Hmm…how about that dark in the glasses? He seems like he could be a tasty treat,"

"Alfonzo?" Marco hummed and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, alright," Star slightly smiled as Sabrina turned and continued to make the bed.

Sorry for the two month wait…please enjoy.
