Now that they've packed everything they have left, Jack and company went back into the limousine.

The order of the sitting was pretty much the same. Jack and Dominique sit near the right side of the limousine, near the window, Ben and Emily on the other seats, and Edwin in front.

Jack and Dominique just talked and smile and did all stuff that were their own business. It was until this that Ben and Emily thought the same thing about them.

"They must like each other. This kind of relationship is not just friends. Wow. Jack liking talkative Dominique? Haha."

Then while Jack and Dominique were doing the usual stuff they did, Jack noticed something blacker that anything else he had seen, near the corner of his eye. He quickly turned his head and looked through the window. All went curious of why he looked, so they all did the same. Jack then was pushed back by what he saw. Then he remembered.

The same black figure he saw was like those that they have defeated.

But he was surely positive that the vampires were gone.

He looked again, then he saw…

…rotting flesh and old paper on the side of the road. Then the black figure he saw was a stranger. A man with a grayish beard, for all that Jack could see.

He didn't know what he saw.

"Hey guys. Know what that is?"

"Hmmm… You think it's a vampire?"

"No. Come on. We defeated them back from Mexico. What about you Emily?"

"I don't know. He sort of looks like a wizard or something. But I'm not sure. Wizards are nowhere to be found this time of ours."

"Au contraire, Emily. Wizards are rarely found, not that they don't exist now. Some people still believe in the art of magic that the wizards used during the past time."

"Oh yes, my dear Emily. When one time, my second cousin and me traveled to… uh… I forgot where it is. Continuing, I saw men and women in different colors of robes do such at that we were baffled by the performances."

"But Dominique, such tricks can be just a trick of the eye."

Jack interrupted the conversation because he saw a girl near the alley, watching the man. "Hey guys! I dunno who that girl is, but she looks pale enough to be a vampire."

"Jack, don't go back to that subject again. We defeated them way back to the Yucatàn. You even saw it, and you were the main one who was with us that defeated Camazotz."

"I know, but you can't be so sure that all vampires became a pile of ash."

"Let's ask her. Le chauffeur, attendez-nous s'il vous plaît ici. Nous sortirons pendant quelque temps." Driver, please wait here for us. We will go out for a while. Dominique told the driver and they came to a halt.

Jack, Ben, Emily, and Dominique got off the limousine and towards the mysterious girl. While they got closer, Jack noticed that she didn't notice. He had a strange feeling in him that she is a vampire and is only pretending not to notice. Got to be quick, Jack thought, before she can bite any of us. Jack patted his sleeves and saw that he had a branch of blood rose left. He kept this in his hand while getting closer.

But as the go to a very close distance from the girl, she looked at them with fear and hid behind the dumpster in the alley she was close to.

The friends followed her and asked her name, but she spoke none a word.

They just saw a name written on the ground, where she was hiding.

Jack couldn't read it, but the other can. It said:

Here lie the mortal remains

Of Carla Way

May 16, 1838 – August 8, 1850

Her name was Carla. And she died a long time ago, before that day.

And what they assumed was true.

She is a vampire.
