"Lena!" Fred calls as they then search through the dark house with a lantern finally at the house.

"Simone!" Daphne calls.

"Where are they?" Alexis asks as she and Velma walk into the library.

"That sounded like Fred." Velma says as they hear a loud noise.

"Let's go see." Alexis says as she and Velma then go find Fred and Daphne by an opening in the stairs with Lena.

"What's going on?" Daphne asks as Lena helps Fred up.

"It was a nightmare! I found Miss Lenoir outside when I got back. She had went outside to wait for you when she was attacked by these these-" Lena then gets cut off by Velma.

"Zombies?" Velma asks.

"Yes. We ran back to the house and Miss Lenoir opened the secret passage way. She said it was built during the civil war to hide from union soldiers but the zombies came after us. They grabbed Miss Lenoir and dragged her away. Oh thank goodness you come!" Lena says sounding very panicked as she hugs Alexis.

"You said the zombies dragged Simone away?" Velma asks looking at the ground with Alexis.

"Yes! It was horrible." Lena says.

"Don't worry. We'll find her and it's gonna be okay." Fred says attempting to calm Lena down as Alexis and Daphne give him a dirty look.

"Come on. We've got to save Simone." Daphne says as they start walking down the tunnel and come to a fork in the way.

"Come on. This way." Velma says looking at the ground before then going down one of the tunnels.

"Where are we?" Alexis asks as they come to a room and go in seeing a bunch of torches on the walls.

"Looks to me like a place for voodoo rituals but why don't we just ask Lena?" Velma asks as she turns to Lena.

"What are you talking about?" Fred asks.

"Yeah Velma. What are you talking about?" Daphne asks.

"Her story about Simone dragged by zombies wasn't true. I saw the footprints of Simone's heels. She wasn't dragged. She walked down that tunnel." Velma says as a sky light above a cat pedestal gets opened.

"Very clever Velma... but it's too late!" A voice says revealing to be Simone as she holds three wax dolls looking like Alexis, Velma and Daphne hitting them against the wall sending the three girls back against a wall.

"Sorry Freddy. I really did like Alexis and all of you." Lena says while holding a wax doll of Fred and does the same as Simone had done.

"What would you do if you didn't like us?" Fred asks weakly.

"Lena." Alexis says as Lena looks at her sadly before she quickly looks away.

"Hey!" Beau shouts as he attempts to stop Lena only to have the same done to him as the others.

"Voodoo dolls!" Velma says seeing Simone and Lena tying up the dolls.

"These wax dolls do come in handy." Simone says.

"So that's my cleaning cloth and Alexis's feather that went." Velma says seeing the items on the dolls as they get placed on a table.

"Sorry I suspected you." Velma says looking at Beau.

"Apology accepted." Beau says.

"The harvest moon will almost reach the moonlight point on this moon dial and then the ceremony will begin." Simone says looking at the moon dial.

"What ceremony!?" Fred asks.

"You won't get away with this!" Daphne shouts.

"I've been getting away with it for two hundred years!" Simone says before she and Lena turn into a cat creature hybrids.

"At least the others are still free... maybe." Fred says.

"I heard that Fred. Your two simpletons? We didn't even bother making wax dolls for them! Waste of time and magic wax. However once your friends find you they'll suffer the same fate." Lena says.

"Just what are you planning to do to us?" Alexis asks.

"It's simple. Every harvest moon I must drain the life force from victims lured to my island to preserve my immortality." Simone says.

"This is more haunted stuff then I really wanted." Daphne says scared.

"If you're really as old as you say you are then I'll be you're the one who found Morgan Moonscar's treasure." Velma says as Simone then turns to face her.

"Morgan Moonscar!... He was the cause of all of this! I was one of a group of settlers who made this island our home. We looked to our cat god for a bountiful harvest... until that night when he came ashore... He drove the islanders into the bayou all except for Lena and myself... We uttered a curse on the pirates to destroy them as they had destroyed our island. Our wish was granted. We became cat creatures and destroyed the pirates. Only afterwards did we discover that invoking the cat gods power had cursed us as well." Simone says explaining their story.

"Over the years boats continued to come to our island. One was full of spice traders who started a pepper plantation. The plantation flourished." Lena says.

"At least until the harvest moon. Sometimes it became necessary for Lena to lure outsiders back to the island." Simone says.

"Just like you lured us." Fred says.

"I've had years of practice." Lena says.

"And those zombies are just the poor souls you drained! They we're just trying to warn so we wouldn't suffer the same fate they did." Daphne says angrily.

"Pretty smart for a television reporter." Simone says.

"Sounds like Jack has found your frightened friends." Lena says hearing a growl in the distance.

"Jack?" Space man asks.

"We needed a ferry driver. The old man wanted immortality so we gave it to him." Simone says gesturing to the moon dial.
