They stopped to one portrait which caught their attention briefly. She had frizzy brown hair and crystal-like blue eyes, and appeared to be wearing a black and green dress.
"She's beautiful." Dee Dee smiled.
"I think this is her name," Mike said as she found a plate below the portrait frame. "Vaskila van Ghoul?"
"That's Vincent's sister." Brianna said.
"Vincent has a sister?" June asked.
"Well, Vinny had to come from somewhere." Brianna replied.
"Vinny?" Mike then asked curiously.
"Who the heck is Vinny?!" June soon glared.
"Vincent's niece of course," Brianna explained. "She traveled with us to help capture the 12 ghosts."
"Oh." June said.
"Jeez, calm down," Brianna said. "I know it's a lot to take in, but we'll all get through it."
"Sounds like you guys had quite the adventures." Mike remarked.
"We sure did, and I'd love to tell you about them." Brianna smiled.
Meanwhile with Shaggy, Scooby, Velma, The Eds, Jo, and Cindy, they were in the kitchen. Shaggy, Scooby, and Ed were making a sandwich for them.
"This sure beats searching through the dungeon, right, Scoob, old buddy?" Shaggy smiled.
"Indeed." Scooby smiled as he took out a whole turkey from the fridge.
Velma stared at the shutters which opened and closed until she found something. "Huh. Yep! As I suspected," she then said as she found a pulley string. "This pulley system must run throughout the entire castle."
"All right, Miss Skeptic; that doesn't explain the howling wind." Eddy remarked.
"For once, Eddy has a good point." Cindy agreed.
"Oh, hey, see if you can find some soup in there, would ya, Scoob?" Shaggy asked, about to cut the sandwich.
"Rokay!" Scooby smiled and came to open the pantry door, but saw glowing white eyes which made him shiver and slam the door shut.
"What was it, low sodium?" Shaggy asked.
Scooby shivered and stammered nervously.
"What is he scared about?" Jo asked.
Scooby whimpered and pointed to the door.
"Scooby, you don't have entamaphobia, do you?" Cindy asked.
"Ent... A... What?" Eddy asked.
"The fear of doors," Cindy replied. "Some kids get that way after reading or watching Alice in Wonderland for the first time."
"Well, we can always add salt to the soup, no harm done." Jo shrugged to Scooby who looked scared to death.
"Like, that's a good idea, Jo." Shaggy agreed.
Scooby was still scared on the other hand.
"Oh, bring it here." Shaggy smiled calmly.
The door opened again and a clawed hand handed a can of soup to Scooby. Scooby took the can before shivering and jumped up in fright before landing in Shaggy's arms.
"Like, hey!" Shaggy glared as Scooby moved all around.
"Would you two knock it off? We're supposed to be looking for clues!" Velma complained as she opened the pantry door and soon went inside.
"Relma, no!" Scooby cried out.
"She was so young!" Eddy added.
Ed pulled the jockette into a hug before crying.
"Hey!" Jo complained.
"I'm sure she's fine, though this place is really different..." Cindy commented.
"Velma is gone!" Ed sobbed. "She was a good person!"
Velma soon let out a shriek which was quite chilling. Shaggy and Scooby took turns being held, but soon, Velma came back out, completely unharmed.
"I found the howling wind! It's just a recording played on a network and speakers!" The smart girl smiled as she came out with a speaker. "I knew something was up as soon as we arrived!" She then looked around to see Shaggy and Scooby were gone until the others saw them hiding behind the table.
"Will you two quit fooling around?!" Jo complained. "Say, where are the Three Stooges?" she then asked until she heard a rattling in the cabinet and she opened the door and found the Eds hiding in there.
"Of course," Jo deadpanned to that. "Butler, you're not scared?" she then asked.
"Maybe a little bit, but I'm trying to work on complaining and being scared all the time," Cindy said. "We're all friends and I should trust you all to help me when I need it while also becoming independent. Not to mention if Maxwell comes around on some adventures."
"Good," Jo replied. "Then that means I don't have to eat you."
"That's right, you don't have to-" Cindy agreed until her eyes widened to what was just said. "Wait, eat me?!"
"Chill, Butler, it was just a joke." Jo replied.
"Hm..." Cindy gave a small glance.
Shaggy and Scooby were now shivering in the middle of the floor.
"Stop fooling around, you guys!" Velma told Shaggy, Scooby, and the Eds.
"Who says we're fooling around?!" Eddy shivered.
"We gotta find out where this speaker leads to." Velma told them.
They soon walked off to go do just that. Scooby stared into the pantry for a few moments and soon walked off to join the others. As soon as they left, a demon hand came out and slammed the door shut.
"Jo, admit that you're scared," Eddy said to the jockette. "I mean, the 13th ghost is the King of Demons."
"Are you forgetting about my family tree like when you and Duncan did something stupid by going into my room when I've told you countless times not to?" Jo rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come on, Jo, that was a long time ago." Eddy replied.
"I told you a million times, and you just ignored me," Jo glared. "You're lucky you weren't killed. Raven must've felt the same way with Beast Boy and Cyborg."
"You know, Jo, Eddy might have a point," Cindy soon said. "You may have Trigon in your mind, but it may not be enough. I've heard from Grandma before that she and Drell couldn't defeat him before because of how powerful he was."
"Are you saying I'm weak?!" Jo glared.
"No, but you might want to be careful," Cindy said. "I mean, if Drell couldn't defeat someone, who can?"
"Me!" Jo glared.
"You don't have to be arrogant." Cindy said.
"NOW you're calling me arrogant?!" Jo glared.
"JO!" Cindy scolded. "If you wanna beat me up or scare me to death because of what I'm saying, you can go ahead, but you have to think before you act, alright?! I've been spending a lot more time with my grandmother who is considered one of the world's best witches, so if you have a problem with me, I will just leave now on my own. We're supposed to be friends."
The Eds looked concerned, wondering what Jo would do now.
"Fine... You win." Jo soon said.
"Thank you," Cindy said. "I know you're mad at me talking to you like that, but you sometimes need to calm down. We don't know what this guy could be capable of."
"All right... Let's get going then." Jo said as she walked off.
"Cindy, that was the bravest thing you've ever done, but now Jo is gonna kill you." Eddy said to the young girl.
"I've been helping out my grandmother more lately on my off time, so she's been giving me some tips on growing up with some of the same people she did when she was a kid," Cindy said. "Grandma had a bit of a rough childhood."
"Oh, yes, I do remember you telling us about that before." Double D replied.
"Come on then, let's get going." Cindy told them.
They soon followed after Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma. As they were going, someone was flying by on a broomstick to the mansion.
Fred and Daphne came through the doors, as Daphne held the glowing crystal ball as they came into the library.
"I don't get it; we were led here, but I don't see Vincent or his crystal ball, it's a dead end." Daphne said as she walked into the room, feeling confused.
"So I guess we gotta head back now?" Mike guessed.
"There's always a way out, guys!" Fred frowned. "We just have to look for it. Daphne, hand me your flashlight."
"I left it in the van." Daphne sighed.
"Aha! There you go, you said it," Fred smirked. "It is a van!"
"Of course it's a van!" Daphne told him. "I just didn't want you to feel like I was moving in on your turf."
Fred then smiled to that.
"Which she is." Brianna then said.
Fred then frowned to that.
"Look, I've been through all of this already when you were away," Daphne said as she walked off with the crystal ball. "I know how to see the whole situation from above, and how to plan the next move. I'm fine."
"Well, I'm not," Fred said as he walked to her as he took a candelabra. "There must be something I can do."
One of the bookcases soon opened to show a secret door.
"Don't. Do. Anything." Daphne told him.
"But Daphne, I only wanted to-" Fred frowned as he put the candelabra down.
"No, I mean, don't move," Daphne warned. "I think I see something."
"Me too." Brianna agreed until she opened the bookcase a little to reveal a secret passageway.
"A secret passageway." Trent remarked.
"We're back in business," Daphne told the others. "Come on."
They soon came in, following after Daphne and Brianna down the secret passageway.
Meanwhile, the others were in a corridor, surrounded by knights in armor.
"Once Scooby has the scent, he'll lead us to the source of the-" Velma said as she held out a speaker to the Great Dane.
"Like, you don't need to explain it to me, Velma, I understand." Shaggy cut her off as he held a leash on Scooby.
"All right, Scooby, got the scent?" Double D smiled.
"Ruh-huh." Scooby nodded as he began to sniff around.
"Like, just let me know when-" Shaggy began to tell Scooby until he yelped as the dog was suddenly running, dragging Shaggy away with him as the others soon chased after them.
"Keep it up, Scooby!" Velma called out.
"Let me down, Scooby!" Shaggy cried out.
Scooby soon suddenly stopped in front of a window which made Shaggy fly and crash against a suit of armor.
"That had to hurt." Eddy commented.
Scooby soon began to bark out to the window.
"What is it?" Shaggy asked.
They soon saw a pair of mice outside eating some strawberries.
"Just a false alarm." Velma sighed.
"What a big hairy mouse, Pixie." Dixie said.
"It sounds very dumb, Dixie." Pixie replied.
Pixie barked like Scooby did which made Dixie laugh. "Better not humor him," he then suggested. "Foolish creature, Dixie."
"Indeed, Pixie." Dixie agreed.
The two mice turned around and ate their strawberries in peace.
"Scooby, it's only a couple of-" Velma complained as she leaned against the wall, only for one brick to be pushed in further and that opened a trapdoor.
Soon, everyone let out a yelp in surprise as they began to fall right through the floor. They all then landed in three different tubes which turned into three slides and they were flying through the air.
Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne, and the others continued to explore on their own.
"Well, I'm stumped," Daphne said. "This one really is a dead-end."
"Maybe we should just head back upstairs." June suggested.
"No. The ball led us here, this is where we're supposed to be," Brianna replied. "It's probably obvious, I bet it's gonna hit us over on the head."
"Hi, Ed!" Dee Dee smiled as she looked up.
"Ed?" The others asked out of confusion.
"Look out below!" Eddy called out.
"Eddy?" Mike glanced over.
The other group came down, landing on top of the others.
"Like, mind if we drop in?" Shaggy smiled bashfully.
"We looked everywhere, and there's been no sign of Vincent or any clue to where he's gone." Daphne sighed.
Scooby soon picked up another scent and began to follow it.
"What is it, Scooby?" Daphne asked.
"Rincent! Rincent!" Scooby told them as he stood in front of a coffin.
"Help me get the lid off." Daphne told the others before they tried to remove the lid.
The others removed the coffin lid, and gasped as they saw Vincent, tied up and gagged.
"Vincent!" Brianna cried out.
They soon began to help him out.
"Oh, Daphne! Brianna! Shaggy!" Vincent smiled. "Thank ghoulness it's you!"
"Rello, Rincent." Scooby smiled back.
"And Scooby-Doo, oh, how I have missed you all," Vincent smiled, petting the Great Dane. "Especially these last few weeks. It's Asmodeus."
"Like, we know," Shaggy said. "We read all about him on the way here."
"No, I mean, there, in the shadows!" Vincent pointed out.
The creature opened its wings and flies around then landed right in front of the gang. It was a tall, red humanoid with a pair of wings on its back, long curved horns on his head, a fanged mouth, and a pair of glowing eyes. He wore a Roman-like outfit, with gray robes, tattered dark gray pants, gray armbands, a black cape and an A-shaped belt buckle, and purple flames appeared in his hands.
"All right, my time to shine!" Jo smirked as she jumped over to take care of Amodeus. "Let's do this, buddy, I can take you on!"
"Don't! Stop!" Vincent warned. "Asmodeus is really powerful, and you're a mortal! He could destroy you!"
"What did you call me?" Jo glared. "I am not a mortal, okay?"
"You should be careful." Vincent replied.
"I'M NOT A MORTAL, OKAY?!" Jo repeated.
"Jo, he doesn't know you." Cindy reminded.
"Oh, sorry," Jo then said. "Well, I'm not one, okay?"
Asmodes roared as he was flying into the air and shot fire from his hands.
"All right, you asked for this buddy, you're long overdue for this!" Jo glared as her eyes turned red as she began to channel her own demon powers to show Amodeus what she was really made of.
"Amazing." Vincent commented.
"You haven't seen nothing yet." Cindy smirked.
"Get out of the way." Jo told the others.
The others soon ran off while Jo channeled her Uncle Trigon to face Asmodeus. Asmodeus soon flew towards Jo and threw some fireballs at her, but she was soon shielded before Trigon came out to help once the time was right.
"Oh... My... Ghoul!" Vincent gasped.
"See what I mean?" Cindy was still smirking.
"What seems to be the problem?" Trigon asked Jo.
"You wouldn't happen to know anyone named Asmodeus, would you?" Jo asked her demon uncle.
"Oh, yeah, him," Trigon replied. "We used to be partners in taking over the world until he decided to betray ME!"
Shaggy and Scooby looked shocked of Trigon's appearance, then they fainted in Fred and Daphne's arms.
"Maybe you'd like to get back at him." Jo smirked.
Trigon grinned evilly and nodded.
"He's right there." Jo pointed out for him.
"Well, well, who do we have here?" Trigon sneered towards Asmodeus. "We meet again... Old friend."
"Hello there, Trigon," Asmodeus replied. "I've heard that you changed sides. I can't believe you've gone soft!"
"The only thing soft around here is going to be your head WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!" Trigon snarled as his eyes glowed bright red.
"BRING IT!" Asmodeus glared as his eyes glowed bright orange.
"GLADLY!" Trigon replied.
The two demons soon charged against each other, both using their abilities to take each other down.
"Now, kids! Open the Chest of Demons!" Vincent told the group behind him.
Shaggy looked in the coffin to see nothing there. "Like, where is it?" he then asked.
"Didn't you bring it with you?" Vincent asked.
"We thought that you had it." Brianna replied.
"No, I left it with you!" Vincent replied.
"I thought I mailed it back to you when school started!" Shaggy told him.
"Where did you send it?" Vincent asked.
"Your real house!" Shaggy replied. "In the Himalayas!"
Trigon soon ducked down as Asmodeus breathed fire. The others yelped, but they weren't burnt and Trigon soon trapped his fellow demon in a shadow ball.
"That wasn't my house!" Vincent told Shaggy. "It was an Air Boo&Boo!"
"GIVE ME THE CHEST!" Asmodeus growled.
"It's not here!" Daphne glared. "If you want it, then go look for it yourself!"
Asmodeus roared and lunged out for them until Vincent warped around his cape for protection. A teenage girl with short brown hair with a purple headband in earrings took out a magic wand and soon shot it at the demon, sending him away somewhere with her magic, and soon put her wand away in her backpack as she soon came into the room.
"Where did he go?" Fred asked.
"To find the Chest," Vincent narrowed his eyes. "As long as he holds it, it can't hold him. We must find it before he does."
"Uh, before ya go, can I have a hug?" The teenage girl spoke up.
"Vinny... Is that you?!" Daphne asked.
"Daphne! Brianna! Shaggy! Scooby!" Vinny smiled. "Is that really you?!"
"Hold on a moment, before you hug her, I go first, she is my niece." Vincent told the others.
Daphne, Brianna, Shaggy, and Scooby looked over. Vincent soon hugged Vinny good and tight.
"Like, Vin, where have ya been?" Shaggy asked.
"I had my birthday, I had to go off to the academy." Vinny smiled as she hugged her uncle.
"It's been a long time." Brianna commented.
"It has," Vinny smiled with a nod to her. "I've heard that you have a boyfriend now."
"Where'd you hear that?" Brianna wondered.
"On ToonFace of course." Vinny replied.
"You have a ToonFace account too?" Daphne asked.
"Who doesn't?" Vinny beamed. She then gave Brianna, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby a hug since they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"You've grown up so much." Shaggy commented.
"How is that I aged and you haven't?" Vinny smirked.
"Like, we're almost 18, Vinny." Shaggy said.
"And yet you guys still look the same." Vinny clarified.
"Hmm..." Shaggy replied.
"Oh, Vinny, you look just like your mother." Vincent said to his niece.
"Uncle Vincent, I've missed you," Vinny said. "The Academy's great and all, but... I just missed being home with you."
"Oh, I'm sure, and I've missed you so much myself." Vincent smiled.
"I came as soon as you called." Vinny said, showing her own crystal ball, but unlike Vincent's and the other, hers was purple which was her favorite color.
"Thank you, my dear," Vincent said to his niece. "I can always count on you."
"Now... Tell me more..." Vinny said. "What's going on?"
Jo soon came back after letting Trigon back into her mind since the demon was gone.
"It was all my fault..." Vincent sighed as he began to reminisce.
Vincent was seen many years ago with Vaskila and Mortifer as they were traveling together.
"Through here." Vincent told his friend and sister.
They saw a vault that looks Ancient Egyptian with the statues and the hieroglyphics.
"King Solomon's private vaults!" Vaskila remarked.
The three adults soon ran toward it to explore up close. Vincent took a close look at the wall and pushed in one stone which made the area shake until the door opened.
"The Chest of Demons!" Vaskila gasped happily.
"Come on. Let's go check it out." Vincent suggested.
They soon came up to a tomb which kept an ancient and mystical gift. Mortifer brought out the crowbar for Vincent who then used it until they heard a clang.
"I think I hit something." Vincent said before using the crowbar to lift up the lid to find a special treasure on the inside.
Inside was the Chest of Demons and they soon went to carry it out to safety.
"One of the most important archaeological discoveries in history!" Mortifer smiled to the van Ghoul siblings. "Vincent, Vaskila, we are going to be famous!"
"Mm... I don't know about that..." Vaskila replied.
"She's right, it's too dangerous," Vincent agreed. "The chest exists in the Demon Chest in which Solomon trapped the 13 ghosts that plague the ancient world. The evil contains within this box was never meant to be released."
Vaskila was shocked that the chest was unlocked.
"Vaskila, what's wrong?" Mortifer asked the wizard woman.
"The lock! The crowbar must've-" Vaskila replied.
The chest soon burst open and white energy shot out from inside. There were roars and shrieks heard as the 13 ghosts were set free from the Chest of Demons.
Vincent bowed his head as he sat in his chair by the fireplace and Vinny made him a cup of his favorite tea.
"Thank you, dear." Vincent smiled to his niece's help.
Everyone just looked at the wizard in confusion.
"So, what happened?" Cindy asked him.
"Mortifer, Vaskila, and I tracked down and found all 13 of the ghosts in the Chest of Demons," Vincent replied. "And that's where they remained... Until these two let them out!"
Shaggy and Scooby flinched from that.
"Well, at least we caught 12 of the ghosts." Daphne said as she sat down on the couch.
"Who did they turn out to be?" Velma grinned out of interest. "Crooked real-estate agents? Disinherited step-children? Vengeful lighthouse keepers?"
"Velma, we keep telling you, they were real ghosts!" Brianna glared.
"Uh-huh." Velma replied.
"There's just no way we'll get her to believe in ghosts, is there?" Trent sighed.
"Nope." June muttered.
"Even though we've met a Witch's Ghost?" Trent replied.
"I've have my skepticism before, but this is too far." Double D said.
"One is still on the loose," Vincent glared as he got up then and stared into the fire. "Asmodeus... The 13th and most powerful. How I have hoped that he vanished from this realm for good. I faced him once before, of course, Mortifer was by our side then."
"What ever happened to Mortifer?" Velma asked.
"We said we would protect the chest with our lives..." Vincent frowned softly. "And that's what he did, brave soul. He paid for my foolishness then, just as you're paying for it now."
"Speaking of paying; I hope that portrait was cheap," Eddy said as he was looking at the portrait. "He doesn't look anything like you."
Vincent took a look before sending a firm look to Eddy. "Well, sitting around here jabbering would be a grave mistake," He then warned. "We have to get to the Himalayas before Asmodeus finds the chest!"
"But how?" Fred asked.
Vincent gave a small smirk as he handed the tea back to Vinny to show them a way how.
They were soon on a jet plane and took off to the Himalayas. Scooby was dressed like a female flight attendant as he came to check on the others with some snacks.
"Uh, pineapple, please?" Fred replied.
Scooby then gave him a can of pineapple soda before offering some bags of snacks. "Peanuts or cookies?"
"Uh... One of each?" Fred replied.
"Oh, my..." Scooby said before dropping the bags and walked off with a harrumph.
"This sure is a neat jet, Mr. van Ghoul." Double D commented.
"Why, thank you, Double D. You'd think I'd pay dearly for this, but you'd be wrong... Dead wrong!" Vincent replied before he gave a small chuckle as lightning appeared in the background.
"Uncle Vincent, you always had such an outrageous sense of humor." Vinny smirked.
"Your mother always thought so." Vincent replied.
"Oh... That reminds me... It's Friday..." Vinny soon said, reminding him of something.
"Huh? Oh... So it is..." Vincent said. "Let's see... She loves you... Very much, and misses you every day..." he then smiled to her.
"I miss her too..." Vinny said with a small smile.
"Uh... Forgive me, Mr. van Ghoul, but... Where exactly... IS your sister now?" Double D asked. "She... She's not no longer with us now... Is she?"
"Oh, no, no, no," Vincent shook his head. "My sister is alive, she just works with The Other Realm Foreign Services. She was given the job opportunity, but she needed someone to look after young Vinny, so, being her favorite brother, she asked me."
"Sometimes I talk to her on my crystal ball whenever she isn't too busy." Vinny added.
"You must miss her a lot." Double D said.
"I really do," Vinny replied. "Her job is very demanding. Last I heard, she was visiting Pluto."
"She said that she would try to come and visit someday." Vincent comforted Vinny.
"Well, Daphne, I showed you," Fred smiled. "I don't mind being chauffeured. As long as it's a highly-skilled professional at the wheel."
"Uh-huh... Say, have you met the pilot yet?" Daphne smirked. "You should introduce yourself."
"Don't mind if I do." Fred smiled as he went to the cockpit to do just that and knocked on the door.
"Like, come on in!" Shaggy's voice replied.
"Shaggy?" Fred asked before opening the door. "SHAGGY!"
"It's Captain Rogers up here, young man! Not for formality, but when you've got ten tons of steel and the lives of every passenger in your hands, it's best to think of yourself as the office, not the man!" Shaggy smiled as he looked back to Fred before looking back at the sky. "Also, a little bit for Vin."
Scooby soon came beside Shaggy.
"Uh, stewardess?" Shaggy smiled.
"That's flight attendant!" Scooby glared in offense.
"Whatever you say, toots." Shaggy smiled.
Fred backed up slowly in slight disturbance before going back to his seat and quickly put on his seat-belt which made Daphne smirk.
"One thing's bugging me, Vincent." Velma spoke up.
"Is it your attitude?" June rolled her eyes.
"Hush," Velma replied. "Castle van Ghoul-"
"The rigged shutters? The howling wind?" Vincent smirked.
"That's right! Was that-" Velma replied.
"My home security system," Vincent chuckled. "It keeps everyone away."
"I knew it!" Velma remarked. "Not that it was convincing, but ghosts aren't real."
"I wish that were true, but fear not, Velma, before we're finished, I promise you'll change your mind about ghosts and goblins." Vincent said as he took a sleep-mask as Scooby walked by them.
"Never!" Velma crossed her arms.
Everyone else soon took a sleep-mask as they decided to get some rest since it would be a long travel. Cindy had on her headphones so she could listen to her music.
"Guys, Velma's attitude is starting to bug me a little." June said to Mike and Dee Dee.
"She doesn't seem to be as nice as she used to." Dee Dee frowned in agreement.
"I know, she's getting really annoying." Mike agreed with her best friends.
"Not even Cindy or Double D would go that far." Mike replied.
"Hm?" Double D looked over.
"Nothing, go back to sleep." June comforted him.
Double D then shrugged and went back to taking a light nap with Ed and Eddy until they would land since it was a long trip.
"It's almost as if most of our adventures never happened." June then continued.
"I know," Mike replied. "Some people think they're just dreams, but they're obviously not."
"So, you guys believe in magic, huh?" Vinny asked as she looked to them from behind her seat, kneeling in her own.
"Of course," June said. "I'm the Te Xuan Ze."
"I've heard of the Te Xuan Ze, I never thought I'd actually meet one," Vinny said to her. "Good to meet ya," she then looked confused. "I thought you weren't allowed to leave the barrier though?"
"Ah-Mah has her ways." June replied.
"I see," Vinny said before turning to the redheaded tomboy. "And what about you?"
"I'm a werewolf and a shadow-bender." Mike replied.
"I have ice powers!" Dee Dee giggled.
"If you ask me if I eat people, I swear to Moro-" Mike complained.
"Come on," Vinny rolled her eyes. "Everyone knows werewolves only eat people with a black heart when they really need to."
"Thank you!" Mike soon said in relief from what she said. "The mortals just don't understand... Just because werewolves in the movies basically eat and kill people all the time doesn't mean that I will."
"It's all right," Vinny replied. "I'm sure that must get annoying."
"You have no idea..." Mike rolled her eyes. "Uh, you know any werewolves personally?"
"This girl in my school is a werewolf witch hybrid," Vinny said. "Her name's Veralupa."
"A werewolf and witch hybrid?" Mike replied. "I've never heard of that before."
"Yeah," Vinny said. "Her father's a warlock and her mother's a werewolf. I've never met them, but it does sound pretty interesting."
"I'm just glad someone hasn't asked me if I eat people after telling them that I'm a werewolf," June said. "You won't believe how annoying that is."
"I can only imagine," Vinny nodded. "These mortals and their dumb horror movies. I usually don't watch them because of how untrue they are to some heritage, unlike in The Crucible."
"Tell me about it." Mike replied.
"What's a Crucible?" Dee Dee asked.
"It's a play based off of The Salem Witch Trials," Vinny said. "Sorry to bother you guys, I'll let you get some sleep."
"Um, well, okay." Mike said.
Vinny gave a small smile and then slid back down into her seat to get some rest beside her uncle.
"I like that kid." Mike commented.
"Me too." June nodded in agreement.
And with that, they went back to sleep.
