"Over there is the Mayor's office, but you don't want to go near that
place. It's a hell hole, people popping out asking for you to re-elect
Mayor Maynot and all kinds of shit like that." Beetlejuice stated, he then
pointed over to the other side of the street. "And that is The Hearse, the
most jumpin' club this side of the netherworld!" He grinned. Anna smirked,
"The Hearse? Interesting name. I've always thought it would be kind of fun
to own one, a hearse that is." Beetlejuice raised an eyebrow "Why?" Anna
sighed, "Because they're cool." Beetlejuice blinked. "Uh yeah, but anyways!
Over there is---" "What's up there?" Anna interrupted. Beetlejuice
scratched his head "Up there?" He said pointing the direction to where Anna
was looking. "Yeah, is that a castle or something?" Anna said while
squinting in that direction. Beetlejuice swallowed, "Yeah that's the old
castle where the old Vampire family once lived. It's abandoned now." He
said, putting his arm around Anna shoulder and leading her back towards to
the direction of the old Netherworld Bank.
Anna kept looking back at the castle as they walked on. For some
reason she felt that something was looking back at her every time she
looked back at the castle. "Anna?" Beetlejuice said, "Anna?" He said a
little louder, poking her with his index finger. "Yes?" Anna said, spinning
around to face Beetlejuice. "You alright, babe?" he asked, Anna nodded
"Yeah I'm fine." She smiled; Beetlejuice shrugged and went back to pointing
out all the places to go and the places to avoid in the Netherworld. Anna
still couldn't focus on him though, she kept thinking about what was in the
castle. She had always been a very curious person.
Up in the castle, there was something watching Anna. A figure moved
back to the throne and sat down. A few guards hurried over to the figure.
"Your highness?" One asked, the figure looked back at him and sighed, "He's
late. How long must I wait for him?" the figure frowned. "Your highness, we
are doing everything we can to bring him here. You know that he---" "I
DON'T CARE!" Yelled the figured. He rested his elbows on his knees and his
face in his hands. "Just. Just get him here before the next full moon. That
is the last chance we have." He got up and walked over to a giant Hour
Glass, with a slight movement of his hand the Hour Glass turned itself over
and the blue sand began to fall into the other half. "We have three days.
If he doesn't arrive here in the next two, we got after him. Until then."
He said walking back over to the throne. "Make sure he doesn't try to run
off, and if he does. kill him." He said while sitting down. He grinned,
revealing his fangs.
