Slayer led the party of four towards the hotel, with Jelze behind and Ducky and Kaz neck and bird neck. Sand got wedged between the feet of each rabbit, which irritated Ducky immensely as it made her walking so much more difficult.

‘This sand’s annoying me!’ Ducky pronounced as she stopped to shake her feet. That wouldn’t really help much, considering they were always walking on sand.

‘Just think of something else!’ Kaz said, ‘like buttercups in an open field.’

‘Or how about you carry me, Kaz?’

‘No way, dude I’ve had enough of that for one day. That Talec was bad enough.’

Slayer then put a smile on his face. He turned to Ducky and said, ‘You’re a gorgeous genius you are!’

Ducky blushed through her fur. Her ears lit up.

‘Kaz,’ Slayer then said, ‘fly up and see what you can see. Fly over the top of the hotel and find anything that would be of use to us!’

Kaz nodded (with regret) and flew up into the air, soaring high above everyone so that the vampires wouldn’t notice him as an intruder, only as a mere bird. As Kaz flew over he noticed something strange about the formation of the vampires.

‘The story of Noah’s Ark,’ he said as he went over them and inspected the hotel. It was a tall building, so tall that Kaz had to fly higher to get over the roof. It seemed normal to him.

After about five minutes, with the other three travelling closer about a quarter of a mile, Kaz returned and found them.

‘Well?’ Jelze asked.

‘They’re going in two’s!’ he said proudly.

‘And?’

‘Nope that’s it. The hotel looks all right to me.’

‘Okay,’ Ducky said, ‘that wasn’t worth it.’

‘It’s a ritual…’

‘What did you say, Slayer?’ Jelze asked.

‘Moving in a formation. They’re attending some kind of a meeting. In twos it means some kind of a ritual…like a ceremony…’

‘The ceremony of them coming to our world?’ Kaz asked.

‘Most likely.’

‘Let’s move gang!’ Jelze said as he began to run towards the village hotel. Slayer and the others followed persistently.



The words of Nebula could be heard spoken within the walls…



Slayer reached the entrance and noticed all the vampires were inside.

‘Go inside and hide somewhere!’ Slayer said, ‘I have to get something…’

Slayer waltzed off into the village, the other three left bewildered. They did as he asked though….
