A/N: Hopefully this isn't too strange. And I'm sorry that this chapter is so short.
Anna and Hugo nervously followed Will-the-Cleverly-Disguised into the house. Neither of them really knew what to think. Between the bizarre taxidermy animals hung from walls and the thousands of little knick-knacks on the tables, it really…
"Looks like some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdoes," Hugo muttered.
Shuddering, Anna tightened her grip on her boyfriend's sleeve. Poor dear was actually frightened!
"Oh, Hugo, could we just go back and wait in the car? I'm sure-"
A sudden, crazed giggle startled the both of them. They finally noticed Mina crouched on the staircase.
"Who are you?" Hugo asked, chuckling nervously.
Mina didn't reply. She just laughed that wild laugh. A moment later, Hugo and Anna began quietly arguing about whether or not leaving 'this crazy place' would be a good idea. Will used this distraction to play a bit of a trick on them…
Quickly, he took off their coats. Then he carefully began unbuttoning the back of her dress. It soon fell to the floor, leaving her in a bra, underwear, and a '50s style petticoat. Smiling evilly, Will unbuttoned Hugo's shirt all the way and it fell to the floor. And then they noticed, once he'd unzipped Hugo trousers...
"What the hell, man?" Hugo shouted.
"You're clothes… were wet…" Will explained.
"Und ve just vant to help!" Mina said with a strange fake German accent (she thought it sounded like a 'vampire accent').
"Can we just use your phone?" Hugo asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
Mina gave her brother a look of worry. Neither of them knew if the castle actually had a phone. So, she just improvised and he went along.
With a wild laugh, Mina grabbed Anna by the arm. "Vellllllll… vhy don't ve go look for ze phone?"
Hopefully the deranged look on her face would fool them. If Anna and Hugo believed Mina to be crazy, then (maybe) they would be less suspicious.
Will kicked Hugo and Anna's clothes out of reach. Giggling still, Mina led them down the nearest hallway. And the four of them began to explore the castle.
In the laboratory, Magenta was too lost in bittersweet memories she was telling Helen about to notice Terra sneaking away to look at whatever happened to be inside the coffin/tank/box. The girl even managed to move the lid without even Helen seeing.
What Terra found shocked her.
The corpse of a young man- probably about 26- wearing a female burlesque costume and disturbingly smeared makeup. Something about the shape of his face eerily reminded Terra of her own.
"Frank… Dad…" she whispered, eyes wide.
Somehow, Frank's 16-year-old corpse looked exactly like 'live-Frank' did the very second he died. It terrified her… yet she couldn't bring herself to look away. If only he were actually breathing she would think that he happened to be still living.
And then Helen realized where her friend now stood.
"Terra? What's wrong?"
"Dad. That's my D-d-dad." Terra suddenly felt very faint.
"Get away from there now!" Magenta snapped.
To everyone's horror, Terra then fainted. She collapsed onto the many buttons on a panel attached to the tank.
Rigor mortis was reversed... a heart began to beat for the first time in over a decade… once-dead lungs began to fill with oxygen and breath life into a lifeless cadaver… eyelids flickered open…
Just as four people in search of a telephone entered the room, the lights flickered wildly and a certain sweet transvestite came back to life.
