"So, let me get this straight," Dawn started. She pointed to Faith, "You and YOU," she then pointed to Brian, "are related?" she asked them confused. "For the tenth time, YES Dawn!" Faith said annoyed, rubbing her forehead. "Can I talk to you in private!" Dawn hissed at Faith, dragging her into an empty bedroom and closing the door. "Faith, does he know anything?" she asked the Slayer. "Yeah, he knows about what happened in Sunnydale and the potentials, vampires, demons, Spike, Angel, but that's it, I didn't use yours, Buffy's, not any of the Scoobie's names ok?" she assured.
"You told him?" Dawn asked her. "Yeah, well the other kids too," Faith shrugged. Dawn gawked at her, "ALL OF THEM? WHY!" she half yelled. "Dawnie, honey, listen to me kiddo. These kids have been up against vamps for the last few months and they've been fighting for their lives, plus one of them is a Slayer, just like me and Buffy," Faith told her. "Yeah I know, Serenity," she said sitting down. "Ok, how could you know she's a slayer when you didn't know if they knew anything about this kinda stuff?" Faith asked, staring at her. "I overheard them talking about it," she muttered. "Geez, look you came here to relax...not fight about this stuff...let's just enjoy this trip ok?" Faith offered. "Yeah, fine. By the way, where are you living now? With your brother?" she asked. "Nope, been living with Angel and the Fang Gang in Domino," she said casually. "WHAT!" Dawn asked her, shrieking.
Tea, Serenity, Brian, Joey and Yami were relaxing in the living room lying on the couches andfloors."Man, dis feels great!" Joey said stretching on the floor. Tea wrapped her arms around Brian, "I don't know how you arranged this, but I'm glad," she said kissing his cheek. Brian grinned and looked around, "Hey where's Bakura and Marik?" he asked. "Hopefully, doing something that's not stupid," Serenity replied messing with her brother's hair. "Yeah, the day that'll happenon the day Joey passes a math test with an A grade," Tea joked. Joey nodded, "Yeah, on the day I--HEY!" he said sitting up.
-Upstairs...-
"You sure about this Tomb Robber?" Marik asked the white haired King of Thieves. "Trust me, this will scare the hell outta them all!" Bakura snickered. "What if one of them finds out about this, and tells them?" Marik asked him. "Well, we just do to them whatI did to the Pharaoh's hikari," Bakura grinned, pulling the covers out from under the bed to reveal Yugi bound and gagged underneath the mattress. Marik stared at this, "If Yami finds out what you did, he's gonna kick your ass so badly!" he said shaking his head. "Oh shut up!" Bakura said putting on a Jason hockey mask and unsheathing a machete.
-Downstairs-
Tea, Brian, Serenity, Yami, and Joey were passed out from exhaustion. The fire died down considerably, letting the cold seep into the room, which caused Tea to wake up. She walked over and stuck more logs on the fire and soon, the heat once again filled the room. "There we go," she whispered, heading back to the couch. Something caused her to stop, a feeling if you will. She looked around but didn't see anything. She soon heard a tapping noise behind her. She turned to face a large sliding glass door, then screamed. A figure with a white mask and a bloody machete blade was standing there, staring at her. She screamed louder this time, causing everyone to wake up. "Tea what's wrong?" Yami asked her. She ran to her friends and pointed to the door, "THERE'S A MANIAC WITH A BLOODY WEAPON OUT THERE!" she yelled. "Tea, calm down ok? Joey, go have a look," Brian said hugging her.
Joey slowly made his way to the glass door, but didn't see anything. "Tea, I think ya were imaginin' it, dere's no one out there...hey where's Brian?" he asked, returning to the group, noticing Brian wasn't there. "He had to go get something from one of his bags," Yami explained, comforting Tea. "I swear, guys, I saw a psycho out there!" she said, starting to cry. "Tea, listen, there was no one out there," Yami said softly. Brian came back with an old western style shotgun. "You say go on vacation from monsters and stuff and you bring a weapon!" Serenity asked in disbelief. "Hey, I've seen a LOT of movies. Usually when a girl says she saw something," he said, loading a chamber, "they saw it something," he said sitting down.
-Outside-
Bakura took off the hockey mask and laughs his ass off near the tool shed. "Oh Ra! That was fun. Hey Ishtar, do ya copy?" he asked, talking into a walky talky. "Yeah, I'm here, Bakura," Marik's voice came back. "How's the midget doing?" Bakura asked his partner in crime. Some muffled noises came back through, "Well he's awake and he's not too happy," Marik reported. "Eh, just make sure he doesn't get loose and tell everyone what's going on," the Tomb Robber ordered the Yami. "Yeah yeah, I got it, Ishtar out," Marik signed off.
Bakura cackled at his next plan and rubbed his arms for warmth, "Damn, why did I come out here like this?" he muttered to himself. He heard heavy breathing and footsteps behind him, "Ah, very funny, Ishtar, nice try," Bakura sneered turning around. His eyes grew wide as he looked up at what he saw, "What in the name of Ra?" he whispered before being knocked upside the skull, and falling to the ground, blood coming from the wound. He dropped the walky talky and lied there, trying to remain concious. He felt his attacker take hold of his leg and beganto pull him away from the cabin and into the woods ahead. Leaving only some blood, and a walky talky behind. "Bakura, you there?" Marik asked. When he recieved no answer, he tried again, "Bakura? C'mon this isn't funny man, answer me! Bakura?" he called again through the walky talky.
He dropped the walky talky and untied Yugi, then they both ran downstairs to tell the others. "Guys! Bakura's gone," Marik told the group. Dawn, Malik, Ryou and Faith came from down the hall after hearing the yell. "What do you mean he's gone? Where is he?" Yami asked him. Marik explained the whole prank idea and after Tea punched him a few times, followed by Yami's punches for keeping Yugi prisoner, he told them what happened. "Ok then, everyone stay here," Brian ordered taking up the shotgun. "Hey you're not going alone little brother," Faith objected grabbing their jackets. He took his jacket and looked at the others. "Don't open the doors unless it's us or Bakura," he told them. They nodded and then he and Faith left.
"BAKURA! WHERE ARE YOU?" he called out into the darkness. "Man, if this kid's playing around, I hate his sense of humor," Faith whispered to him. "I know what you mean, sis," he replied. They circled the cabin until stopping at the tool shed where they found the walkie talkie. Faith picked it up and pressed the button, "Anyone hearing this?" she asked. Marik answered her, "Yeah, where are you guys? Where'd you find this?" he asked her. "Toolshed outback, and you guys aren't gonna like what we're looking at right now," she said staring at the blood and the tracks of Bakura's attacker. "Oh Ra, wolve's got him didn't they?" Ryou's voice asked panicked. Faith looked at Brian and he shook his head slowly.
"No wolve's kiddo, think bigger," she said before a loud howling sound cut through theair. "C'mon, we have to go inside, we'll look for Bakura in the daylight," Faith said, leading her brother towards the door of the cabin. Once they were inside, they were barrated with questions and as soon as they locked down the cabin. "What's going on? What did you two see? What was that sound?" Tea, Joey, Yugi and Ryou asked them. "GUYS!" Brian shouted, making them silent. "What we need to do now, is go to bed, and rest. We will look for Bakura tomorrow," he told them. "WHAT WHY!" Ryou asked him, grabbing his shirt "He could be hurt or worse out there!" he started to break down. "Because in the morning, what we're dealing with won't be at full strength," he reasoned.
He left the group and went to the attic where he had the best view of the woods compared to the other windows. Tea, Joey, Yugi and Yami came up some time afterward. "How's Ryou and the Ishtars?" he asked, never looking away from the view. "We managed to calm them down and convince them to wait. Brian what the hell is out there?" Tea asked him. "Something we need to put down before tomorrow night," he said softly. "Why is that? What's tomorrow?" Yami asked his Guardian. "The day the Full Moon comes to it's peak...," he said simply. They remained quiet, trying to understand what he meant, before another loud howl ripped through the air. They looked through the attic window, while Faith and the rest of them looked up at the night sky.
These kids weren't the only ones that heard the ungodly sound, Ash woke up at the first howling and had loaded his shotgun. He stepped to his window in the small cabin and looked on into the darkness. "God, I hate the woods," he cursed as the second howl reached his ears.
