"What? You can't be serious, Emily. There's no such thing."

"What about the vampires? People believe there's no such thing like them either!"

"So what? They're gone now, so they don't exist now!"

"Says you!"

The Coles argued. They just went over the same topic again and again. Their voices were so loud it can be heard from outside. People are starting to look at them. Dominique saw the stranger look and with his gleaming eye, quickly put Dominique under a spell. She just sat there, looking outside. Then after a split-second, she opened the door of the limousine and started to go out. But there was a car speeding up before them. Before anything else happened, Jack saw Dominique and quickly pulled her back in. He slammed the door shut, confused. This got Edwin's attention. Jack was panicking.

"Dominique! What on earth did you think you were doin'?"

"I… I don't know! It was like a dream!"

"Hey! Everyone okay back there?"

"Uh… yeah, we're good."

"Very well." Edwin closed the window in front of them.

Jack was still panicking. "What do you remember that made you want to just go out?! You could've had an accident!"

The Coles saw what happened. "Calm down, Jack. You saved her. That's good news, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but…"

"We all know you're worried about Dominique. Cool down. Nothing bad is going to happen."

The limousine went silent. Then off they went back to their own business.

One hour later…

"We're here!"

Everyone woke up. They were at the port that had the boat they will ride.

"So, everyone ready?" They all nodded. "Good." Edwin smiled and off they went to the boat.

Emily held her bag, Ben the same, Jack his own, while Dominique was struggling to keep up.

"Hey guys? Can you at least help me?"

"Sure. I would." A stranger exclaimed. All looked to him. He took Dominique's bag and carried them with his two hands.

When they reached the boat, they all gave their tickets and hurriedly ran to their cabin. When they got there, they quickly put down their bags and sat down, tired.

"Here you go, m'lady." The young boy said as he handed them Dominique's bag.

"Well, uh… thank you." Dominique said in an awkward voice.

"Who are you?" Jack quickly said. Then he held back his lips. I'm an idiot! Jack thought. He was helping him and now I at like I'm in charge! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"Cool down, Jack. You don't need to be jealous." Ben teased. Jack gave him a soft punch on the shoulder.

"Well, if you really want to know—"

"Yes we do."

"I'm just helping those in need." And with that, he kissed Dominique's hand. This made Dominique blush and Jack go red with jealousy.

"Well, got to go. My mom's just outside. If you want to see me again I'm just two doors away. Later!" The boy quickly got out and shut the door.

"We don't." Jack mumbled under his breath.

"Oh, come one Jack! He was just helping Dominique! Don't be such a jealous guy."

"Yeah, wait 'till you see them holding hands. That's when you need to be jealous."

"Stop teasing him Ben! Jack, I-I'm sorry."

"No, no… It's okay. I just… I'm not used to seeing people like that."

"Well, it's pretty normal for everyone."

They arranged their things and went to bed.

The next day, Jack got up early and went outside.

Thinking of what else to do, he sat near the edge to look at the sea.

When he got bored, he started to go back to the cabin. As he walked near some windows, he saw again the black figure. Then he saw gleaming eyes looking at him. This made him stop. He got closer and closer until he was under a spell.

"I need to ask you something, my dear boy…" The stranger asked.

"Yes, yes you may. What is it?"

"Where is Camazotz?"

"He is dead, Sir."

"Oh. Very well. Do you know that he had a brother?"

"If he did sir, he would've been destroyed by now."

"No, no. He's not a vampire. He was one of the undead. Tell me, does that mean anything to you?"

"No, sir."

"Well, it should. Come with me."

The stranger and Jack went to his cabin and left a note on Jack's bed. Still under a spell, he really wrote to convince his friends to go and save him, like he was in danger. But what they don't know was that Dominique was already awake. She saw Jack and the stranger left, and now she knew.

This guy is trouble. I need to wake everyone up. Jack, please snap out of the spell…
