Everyone soon got to Ben's studio, Thorn walked over to take a look at the portrait of Sarah, learning about the ancestor herself. Willow and Braedey stood nearby Sheeva, Scorcher, and Amber, all five of them catching up and explaining about what's happened since they arrived in Oakhaven.
"It's so cool." Dusk looked at the portrait.
"She's beautiful." Braedey added.
"Yes, I think so too." Ben sighed softly to himself. "And that's why I get upset when people accuse her as a witch."
Fred cleared his throat to make the Hex Girls pay attention to him. "I think I owe you girls an apology for being... well..."
"Witches." Daphne spoke up for him. "We saw you perform some kind of ritual in your shed." Willow nodded in agreement to this.
"Witches?" Dusk scoffed. "We just pretend that stuff. It's just a gimmick for our band."
"We're Eco-Goths." Luna explained to the others calmly. "Kinda like Wiccans. Just ask Thorn, she's the one."
"Yeah, right." Thorn laughed. "Sally McKnight, 1/16th on my mother's side. And that ritual you saw was just peppermint and cloves to soothe my vocal chords. You think it's easy singing this stuff?" She asked to them.
"Thorn's herbal vapor's awesome." Dusk added. "We all use it before and after every show."
"Oh, that does make sense." Willow shrugged innocently.
"But, what about your fangs?" Shaggy asked, pointing to his own teeth.
"My Dad's a dentist." Luna explained, now taking out her vampire fangs to show in front of Scooby. "He outfitted the band."
"Oh, I see." Braedey realised.
"Rikes!" Scooby yipped and he jumped into Shaggy's arms for protection.
"Like, we knew it all along." Shaggy said nervously as Thorn and Dusk took out their fangs. "Right, Scoob?"
Braedey laughed, then he took Luna's fangs. He popped them in his mouth and he hissed at Shaggy to scare him. Shaggy screamed and he dropped Scooby by accident. Braedey laughed, now giving the fangs back to Luna.
There was then a knock at the door and everyone saw the mayor come in with Mr. McKnight alongside him. "Mr. Mayor?" Willow asked in surprise.
"We've been ringing your doorbell for sometime, and-" Mayor Corey began but was cut off by Ben, who smiled apologetically.
"Oh, sorry about that." Ben walked over, putting his hands behind his back. "I've been meaning to fix that for years. What's up, Mayor?" He asked.
"Well, Ben..." Mayor Corey began and sighed. "I feel real bad about everything, and I wanted to apologies for using your ancestor in our little publicity stunt."
"Yeah, the tourist trade was slow." Mr. McKnight added in. "We were desperate."
"Right, and you once told me that supernatural phenomena always attracts people." Mayor Corey continued on.
"We used Sarah, because..." Mr. McKnight heaved a sharp sigh to Ben. "We accidentally dug up her grave." That got everyone's attention.
"What grave?" Ben asked, his eyes widening.
"Yeah. What grave?" Braedey asked in confusion.
"I'm sorry, Ben, but you see..." Mayor Corey gulped as he was about to explain, and he looked Ben dead in the eyes. "I lied to you when you asked me if we found anything of Sarah's while we were building the puritan village."
