I apologize for not updating lately. I have been neglecting this story for a long time and that's bad…

Yeah… Anyway, I'll be updating sooner now since I've been in the zone lately and I'm really really really really really really sorry for anyone who's been waiting for the awaited update.

CHAPTER 8

(Griffin's P.O.V)

When we got out of the room it was a huge mess, the hallway had mud tracks that Dracula would rip his hair off, the luggage of customers were all over and the witches were having trouble cleaning it all up so it must have just happened.

Alice saw one suit of armor trying to locate his helmet grumbling about how he always got into this kind of situation and laughed silently pushing the helmet further away from the suit of armor causing him to glare at Alice.

"Woah, what happened here?" I asked the suit of armor bringing the helmet up to his body though I faintly heard Alice huffed saying I was no fun.

"Sir Dracula and the stein boy flew past here and Quasimodo took the stein boy for some unknown reason."

"Quasimodo took Johnnystein?"

"I'm afraid so , Dracula has just sent orders to get him right away. If you would excuse me I have to update him on the situation right away. We hope you stay in your hotel rooms while the situation is being dealt with." And just like that the soldier walked swiftly away from us. He mumbled something about seeing Alice before…

"Let's go check it out!" Alice said and dragged me to follow the suit of armor.

"Hold it kitten." I held her from her collar to stop her.

"Wha- Why'd you stop me? We're missing out on knowing whatever's happening that could be awesome right now!"

"You don't know Drac like I do. Dracula mostly does these kinds of things himself but since his not doing it I'm guessing his talking with his daughter… Which means the situation with Quasimodo is definitely where we should go"

"What are you, Sherlock?" She asked

"No, but he was a good friend of mine." She looked at me with slight awe and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Wha- That was a rhetorical question but… Wha? Wait a minute... Sherlock isn't real! You're pulling my leg again!" She said looking at me angrily while pouting

"I see you caught up, but still I read a lot about him before. Come on, Quasimodo's probably on his way to the kitchen!" I laughed harder as she pouted.

"The kitchen? I can get some tuna there if we're lucky right?" She smiled widely. She changes her mind really quick doesn't she…

"Sure, but make sure you remain undetected or else no tuna kittens." I laughed and shook my head as I lead the way to the kitchen.

10 minutes ago

(Suit of Armor's P.O.V)

Mornings… To be precise its 7 o'clock in the morning and everyone is probably asleep now.

We don't sleep though, well rarely. We don't really need sleep. We do when we act like statues sometimes, but no one can notice most of the time with the exception being Dracula of course.

I was patrolling the hallway until I heard a faint sound of laughing and a scream so I walked to investigate only to see Dracula and the stein boy screaming while sitting on one of the tables.

I tried my best to avoid it I swear, I don't exactly like having my body parts flying everywhere. I screamed as they crashed upon me.

Dracula had a smile as wide as a kid getting candy and grabbed my head.

"Oh ho ho did you see that? Who is that guy Sir-Breaks-a-lot?" Dracula laughed and threw my head aside.

I haven't seen him smiled this much unless his with Mavis so the shock overcame me and I completely forgot about picking my body parts up.

"I have to say… That. Was fun. " I heard him say faintly from the corner

"Okay the fun you were talking about earlier? Nailed it!" He laughed and clapped his hands like a little girl and pulled the table sheet off my chest piece.

After that everything Dracula said was too soft for me to hear and he quickly rushed away.

I finally got back to my senses and attempted to pick my body up.

Dracula got to another one of us suit of armor and told us to locate Quasimodo and ordered us to stop him right away.

When I finally got all my parts back except my head and a familiar looking girl came towards me. The girl was a type of cat monster and personally I'm not a cat person… They're evil little beings in a fluffy disguise.

She kicked my head around before Griffin helped me out while asking about Dracula.

I gave a quick note on what was happening and suggested they went back before running towards Dracula, Quasimodo was passing through our defensive like a piece of cake.

When I got there Quasimodo has probably entered the kitchen already. Dracula was talking to his daughter about something probably relating to her maturity. But there was really no time to ponder.

"Sir he may have entered the kitchen" I said as I opened the doors widely.

"He what! What do I pay you for? I'm sorry honey I have to go!" He glared at me and crawled away from his daughter to rush to Quasimodo with me.

"He doesn't pay me" I whispered to Mavis before catching up to Dracula.

(Griffin's P.O.V)

When we got to the kitchen Dracula and the guard was already there.

"Hey, weren't you looking for Dracula?" I asked the guard who was standing at the entrance.

"Yes sir, Dracula has arranged that no one comes in the kitchen or out until he is done with his business." He stood straighter and held his battle axe tighter.

"What sort of business with Quasimodo and Johnnystein?" I tried to take a peek but the guard scootched around whenever I move.

"I'm sorry but I am not allowed to tell you even if I know. Perhaps you could talk to Dracula about this late."

I groaned and he glared at Alice as she kept squirming to check more than me.

"Woots! Defenses have been penetrated!" Alice said as she managed to crawl through around the guards arm

"Get back here young lady!" the guard looked shocked and tried to grab her but missed and nearly fell to the ground.

"Never! And the name's Alice tin-man!" She laughed as 'tin-man' chased her.

Alice rushed into the kitchen while the guard was on her tail. I followed shortly to make sure nothing happened.

"This is a load of fiddlestick! There's only a statue picking his nose here!" She whined as she kicked something or someone.

"I don't think that's a statue Alice…" I looked at what she kicked carefully and saw Quasimodo picking his nose

"It's for certain the work of Sir Dracula. I'm quite certain Quasimodo's pet rat Esmeralda will help him. However, your cat friend here is still in trouble." The guard grabbed her by the collar and sort of glared at her as she glared back while struggling to get away.

"Oh come on, you can deal with Wayne's kid but not a mischievous cat?" I looked towards the guard and gave him a nudge

"Hey!" She turned her glare towards me as if trying to say 'I thought you were on my side!'

"Plus don't you think Dracula would be angrier if you explain to him how you failed to make sure no one got in the kitchen while he was in there?" I said smugly as he loosened his grip on Alice and looked at me with worry all over his helmet.

"See ya around alright Walter~" I turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

"His name is Walter?" Alice crept beside me while giggling slightly.

"They don't really have names, but I think he likes that name" I whispered to her.

"Who knows, I think his blushing right now." She whispered and pointed to Walter.

I looked back at Walter and laughed as he looked away immediately.
