Chapter 3
Narrator: Sunshine continues to run down the hallway. She enters the dining room, where Polidori is searching with a stake in his hand.
Sunshine: Grandfather!
Narrator: Sunshine grabs Polidori by his free hand and starts to tug on his arm.
Polidori: Sunshine! What's gotten into you?
Sunshine: It's Oskar! He-
Polidori: He's in trouble?! Well, there's no time to lose! We must save him!
Narrator: Polidori takes off with his stake held high. Sunshine takes off after him.
Sunshine: But, Grandfather!
Narrator: Sunshine and Polidori rush down the hallway. Suddenly, they stop and gasp. Standing there is Count von Horrificus, stoically leaning on his cane. Polidori and Sunshine turn around. Standing there are Lady Kryptina, Professor Oxford, and Nestor. Lady Kryptina is smiling mischievously. At that moment, Oskar, Gruftine, Tinto, Klott, and Flestcher fly over to them in their bat forms. They transform back into vampires and form a circle around Sunshine and Polidori. Ashley joins the circle in the contraption Tinto made for him. Polidori stares in disbelief at Oskar.
Polidori: Oskar?! I knew it! What did I tell you, Sunshine? I knew Oskar was a vampire!
Narrator: Sunshine didn't say anything. Instead, she turns to Oskar.
Oskar: Sunshine... I'm sorry you-
Narrator: Oskar takes a few steps closer towards Sunshine. Sunshine holds up her clove of garlic. The other vampires gasp. Count von Horrificus puts his hand in front of Oskar and forces him to step back. Sunshine stares at Oskar and starts to shake in fear. Polidori scowls and holds up his own clove of garlic.
Polidori: Stay back, foul creatures!
Lady Kryptina: You can't hold that garlic forever, Polidori!
Polidori: Don't doubt me, shameless maiden of the night!
Narrator: Polidori reaches into his pocket and takes out a rock. He throws it. The rock hits a window, which breaks into pieces. Sunlight pours in through the window. The vampires gasp and hide in the shadows (except for Ashley). Sunshine grabs Polidori by the wrist and starts to run.
Sunshine: Run, Grandfather!
Narrator: Sunshine and Polidori race through the hallway. Oskar holds up his hand.
Oskar: Sunshine!
Narrator: Suddenly, a pale hand grabs Oskar by the shoulder. Oskar looks up with his mouth open. It was his uncle.
Count von Horrificus: Oskar, were you friends with Polidori's granddaughter?
Oskar: Yes, Uncle.
Narrator: Count von Horrificus breathes heavily and puts his hand on his face.
Count von Horrificus: You dare betray us for a mortal? We'll talk later to discuss your punishment. The rest of you, return to your coffins! I'll take care of this!
Flestcher (chuckling): Looks like Oskar's deader than usual!
Narrator: Flestcher laughs again. Gruftine glares at him and lightly slaps him on the back of the head. As the screen gets engulfed by bats, Oskar sighs sadly.

Guest: Thanks for the review. I'm grateful for the support! I'll try to update every weekend.
TiEl: Thanks for the review. Personally, I like Sunshine and Oskar's relationship. I'm trying to make the story as realistic as possible (which is difficult for me since I can only find episodes in German). That's why I had Polidori take Sunshine with him. I think that's what Polidori would have done if the series continued.
