A/N: Hello again I would just like to thank those who reviewed my first chapter, school for me starts in only 10 days! Chains self to house I don't wanna go baaaaaaack!! Err here is the second chapter...

The teens tossed their things by the door and headed into the kitchen.

"I'm going to go get Van Helsing and the others, be back in a sec." Kate called from the steps before rushing up to her room.

Kate's P.O.V-

I put my stuff down on my bed and looked at the hourglass sitting on my shelf. I had a time convincing my parents that I bought it while they where away. I removed it from its place on the shelf. We when we had been separated the first time it was because we where all thinking about different places. I thought about the Amory of the Valerious Manor as I activated it and a blue light enveloped me.

I appeared back at the Valerious Manor and smiled to myself, as I always did whenever I was here, my friends and I always went there whenever we got the chance. Over the months Anna had gotten to be very good friends with Libby and I, Alice, Kevin and Van Helsing where almost joined at the hip, it was rather funny and James and Carl where like brothers, it was rather funny when all of a sudden out of the blue Carl fired a science question at James or anyone of us for that matter. The armory was very quite and I closed my eyes and listen closely, a small trick Helsing had taught me, none of the ordinary sounds of the Manor reached my ears, this confused and alarmed me greatly.

I walked out of the room and down the halls and stopped and looked at my watch, it was 3:30; I knew that there should be at least one servant in the kitchens. I walked towards the kitchens.

I entered them and saw the elderly servant who had wanted to meet me; she had and found that I had certain qualities that Valken also possessed.

"Hey there Abigail!" I said happily from the kitchen entrance, she looked up and grinned widely.

"Hello, Miss Kate. How was your journey? May I get you something? You are well I hope." She said ushering me into a seat.

"Good, as always, no I am fine. Yes I am very well." I replied she sat down.

"That is good to hear. How is you schooling coming?" She said.

"Good but getting hard to concentrate because of the upcoming Halloween parties but other then that, good."

"Halloween? They condone that?" She said a bit surprised.

"Yes, the only difference is that people dress up and go knock on the doors of their neighbors and say "Trick or Treat" and then they get sweets. Plus for the older kids there are all these parties and haunted houses to go to, it is just a blast." I said smiling a bit.

"I'll never understand it." Abigail said and I laughed a tiny bit. "What brings you here this time? Last time it was hunger." She laughed at the fact that I can always eat and stay so skinny.

"I am wondering where Van Helsing and the others are." I said smiling.

"They are out dealing with a werewolf problem in the forest." She seriously replied.

"Thank you." I said getting up and waving goodbye before running back up to the armory and grabbing the crossbow that I usually use, some silver tipped arrows from a pile and a small quiver. I put the crossbow a crossed my back and the arrows in a quiver that I had strapped to my side. I then picked up the Hourglass and thought about Carl, who would most likely have been taken along even thought he didn't want to go. The blue light took over my field of vision.

I appeared in the library of the Valerious Manor. I blinked then put my hand on my head and shook it as Carl was sitting in a large chair, buried in a book.

I should have known...

"Hey there Carl, I'm going to get Helsing." I said before thinking of the forest and activating the Hourglass.

The last thing I heard was the friar speaking.

"I must be hearing things." His voice echoed throughout trans tunnel, as I like to call it and faded out when I saw the green of the forest come into view.

The tunnel spit me out and I landed squat and listened carefully for anything not natural to that forest. Suddenly a howl erupted from somewhere deep in the forest, it didn't sound pained or frustrated but.... celebratory!

Oh Shit...tucky mushrooms

I sent out as real of a howl as I could. Just then something jumped out of the bushes and I whipped my crossbow around, thinking the worst, to find Anna with her gun aimed at my head. All in all it was rather odd to sight to see, Anna Valerious pointing a gun at a my head while I held my crossbow up, ready to strike, our arms crisis-crossed.

"Kate! I you where another werewolf." Anna said surprised and lowered her gun as I lowered my bow.

"Thank you." I said with a half smile. "Helsing taught me that."

"What are you doing here?" She said.

"Looking for you and Helsing; speaking of where is he?"

"We where looking for a werewolf when its pack showed up and Gabriel and I got separated while trying to kill them."

"B-e-a-utyful." I said dully and readied my bow. "Lets go find him." Anna nodded and we dove back into the forest.

We rushed over the rocks and fallen braches and ducked low hanging limbs before stopping at a small cliff. Below was Van Helsing, backed up against the opposite end of the cliff and the werewolf and a few of its pack mates where closing in for the kill!

"You get Helsing I got the wolves." I said trying to stand up but Anna pulled me down.

"No you get Gabriel I'll handle the wolves." She said and jumped over the cliff, firing her pistols.

"ANNA!! There's too many!" I yelped and jumped down after her.
