Wait...What?!

Five

Zapped

"Holy shit! Vampire hotel!" Edgar yelled, dancing around the lobby of the sunken hotel. His brother Alan is not too far behind him. Alan approached Star's bed, stake in hand, "I found one." Edgar jumped to stand next to him, "Let's stake her." "Don't touch her. You stay away from her!" Michael yelled at the brothers while being half-carried by Sam. Michael let go of his brother to get Star out of the cave. "Star? I'm taking you out of here." Mike shook her as he spoke. "Take Laddie first, please." Star rolled over and went back to sleep.

The Frog brothers and Sam continued to look around the lobby for signs of where the vampires slept. Alan had approached what looked like a fence. "Hey, guys. Look. That probably leads to where they sleep," Alan didn't fully pay attention or he would have heard the faint buzzing coming from the electricity running through the fence. His bare fingers grasped the chain link fence for a mere second before he filled with several thousand volts of electrical current.

It took both Sam and Edgar to pull his smoldering hand away from the fence. They both were zapped as well. Alan was unconscious, drooling, and he had bitten his tongue. The three boys dropped to the uneven floor of the cave, Edgar and Sam held Alan upright. "Damn, vampires. We're going to have to come up with another plan." Edgar said through clenched teeth. He and Sam picked up Alan and half carried him out. At the Emerson household, Alan came to with a sore tongue, a burnt hand, and still a little uneasy on his feet.

Once Edgar knew his brother was going to be okay, they started planning their attack. Sam had convinced Grandpa that he had a date with Widow Johnson. Sam and the Frog brothers visited Lucy and tried to tell her what's going on but she didn't believe him. Then they barged into a church and filled canteens with Holy Water. Sam chopped up Garlic and put it into the bathtub with some of the Holy Water. Michael, Star, and Laddie slept until the sun went down. When they woke, Star knew David would be pissed and come for them. Michael helped block the windows and doors the best they could. The further the sun dropped below the horizon, the more anxious the Emersons got.

Awake/Reveal

The sun has fully set. The vampires wake fully energized for the night. As each vampire dropped from the rafters where they slept, they caught a whiff of burnt flesh. Moving through the tunnel, David and Dwayne stopped before the crudely erected fence. The stench came from the area surrounding this fence. Dwayne was looking over the fence as David backtracked a few feet. He picked up the torn-off top of a pizza box, "Flip the switch." David looked down at the car batteries and saw a toggle in the 'On' position. Switching the toggle to 'Off'. Dwayne was able to push the fence over. But not without getting a little zapped from leftover juice, "Fuck." He shook his hand out. It felt like he had been shocked by static electricity.

David noticed a second, smaller note near the batteries. He picked it up and entered the lobby. Paul and Marko were right behind him watching the whole thing, not sure what to make of it. When they were all in the lobby, the vampires were able to smell that there were four unfamiliar scents. Paul went to check on Laddie and Star, "They're gone. Michael must have come and got them. But what was up with that?" Paul pointed to the fallen chain link.

David lit a smoke and sat in his wheelchair and opened the note.

"Hey boys. You don't know me, but I know of you. Sorry for invading your space, but it had to be done. If you want to know why, please come to the Wilks' Estates so I can explain."

He threw the note down, leaned his elbows on his knees, and looked at the fence. "What do you think? It could be a trap?" "I say we go and see what's up," Paul voiced with an unlit joint hanging from his lips. Marko moved his thumb away from his teeth, "The Wilks' next door to Mikey's. If we head there, I say we fly and catch whoever, off guard. Look around the place first." With a plan in place, the vampires flew from the cave and towards the Wilks' Estates.
