[The portal reopens in Transylvania and they jump out]
Dragonmir: We're here.
Ken: Good.
[Ken quickly knocks Dragonmir out from behind]
Marco: You knocked him out.
Ken: Yeah, He was going to announce that we're back which means every vampire will come after you....We can't risk that, And I can't kill him now, He may still be of use to us.
Marco: Good idea.
Ken: Don't praise me yet. We still have unfinished work to do.
Marco: Right. So what're we gonna do with him?
Ken: We'll take him hostage till we meet Fino and find out if "Queen Narissa" really is Strigoria.
Marco: Alright, So where're we going to find this Fino?
Ken: I know where. But before you come with me, you'll have to disguise yourself properly because if any vampire sees you, Everyone will be alarmed.
Marco: Got it.
[Marco takes off Dragonmir clothes and uses it to cover himself properly]
Marco: How's it?
Ken: Manageable. Carry him and let's go!
[Marco straddles Dragonmir and then he and Ken vamp speed away]
*******************
[Meanwhile]
[Demodex makes them visible once again]
Callidra: I'm really worried, What if this is all a trick and Ken lures Marco into a trap?
Dimitri: I can't believe I'm saying this but Ken maybe telling the truth. He maybe a bastard but his strategy is sound.
Callidra: I'm still not trusting him. To make sure he lets Marco go, We're gonna kidnap Kayla since she's Ken's girlfriend, And hold her hostage till he returns Marco.
Dimitri: But we don't need to. I thought we already ended the conflict between us and Kayla and Kai.
Callidra: It's the only way to be sure that Ken would let Marco go unharmed. So if Ken harms Marco, We'll harm Kayla.
[Meanwhile]
[The full moon passes]
Carl: Hmm, I guess Thorn should be back in his normal human form.
[Carl enters the basement and sees Thorn naked]
Thorn: (weakly) It's over.
Carl: Yup. (Looks at him) Jeez. Maybe you should be taking off your clothes before transform. If you don't, You'll keep losing your clothes till you have no cloth left to wear and that would be tragic.
Thorn: Could you please lend me your sweater?
Carl: (gives him his sweater) I guess I should get you back home.
Thorn: Alright.
[Carl takes Thorn back to his house]
Thorn: Thanks, My regards to Julia.
Carl: Yeah, yeah....Go in
[Thorn enters the house and Carl vamp speeds back to his house]
Carl: Julia! I'm back! (quietly) Hmmm, I guess she's asleep. (yawns) I should get some sleep too.
********************
[Ken, Marco and Dragonmir arrive at a forest]
Marco: Where are we?
Ken: Shhh. (quietly) It's Ken.
