???: Oscar, wake up. I wanna play.

You opened your eyes to see a girl staring at you. Her accent sounded Australian? Why was she calling you Oscar? Rather, who was she? And where were you?

???: Come on. Mum and Dad are busy meeting with adults. Ozzie and Oswalt are doing classes too. Let's go play in the courtyard.

Ozzie and Oswalt? Who were they? Why did they sound familiar? Wait. Ozmandias. The name you gave that guy when you were trying to learn about Flipper. Is this were you got it from?

???: Come on, Oscar. Wake up. Wake up, Oscar.

Abbey: Y/N!

You eyes shot open when you felt a pain in your chest. You were staring at an icy cave wall. You looked over to see Abbey standing there with bloodstained hands. The white fur on her clothes was also stained red. She had a panicked look on her face, but you couldn't tell why.

That was until you looked at your chest to see that you were covered in cuts and stitches.

Y/N: What....what happened?

Abbey quickly hurried over and began to help you sit up. She then grabbed some bandage wrap and began to patch you up.

Abbey: You were bleeding out. I had to freeze your blood a bit to slow it down.

Y/N: I-Is t-that why I f-feel so weird?

Abbey nodded and finished her patch work. Your torso was now wrapped in bandages your shirt and jacket were discarded in the corner of the ice room. You held a hand to your head as you recalled what happened.

Stroker was planning on using Draculaura to rule from the shadows. You couldn't let that happen. Especially not when it was your friend he was going to use as a puppet.

Abbey: What happened to you?

Y/N: It's kind of a long story. But, can I use your phone first?

Abbey raised a brow.
----------------
Draculaura sat in the dark bedroom and cried. Stroker had told he about your death and she still couldn't believe it. It just couldn't be possible. How could you be dead?

There was a knock at the door and Clawdeen opened it. She looked inside and spotted her friend. She immediately ran over and pulled her into a hug. Cleo and Robecca watched from the doorway. Stroker had already sent word to Dracula, so it was only a matter of time before the others heard.

Only, that wouldn't happen. Dracula was currently on the phone with you. Him, your uncle, and Bloodgood listened as you explained Stroker's plot to them on speaker.

Y/N: I think Elizabat has the real Vampire's Heart. We need to find her.

Your uncle sighed.

Helsing: Before that, just...are you alright?

Y/N: Yeah. Abbey patched me up. I used the Monster Mapalogue to get to her.

Dracula: And are the girls in any direct danger?

Y/N: I doubt Stroker will do anything to Draculaura. He needs her. And I think the others are safe too.

That was at least a relief. And you were sure that Stroker was smarter than to hurt anyone. One accident is fine, two is suspicious, but three is when people know something is wrong.

Bloodgood: No one has seen Elizbat in 400 years. How will you find her?

Y/N: Well, I do have the Mapalogue. I can find her with it like I've done with every other monster.

Helsing: But you won't be able to use it to go into Transylvania. It would break the treaty.

You were silent for a moment before you sighed.

Y/N: What treaty?

Dracula: When the Vampire Court separated, a treaty was created in order to avoid an all out war. They knew I had the Monster Mapalogue in my possession. It could very well be used as a weapon of war.

Well, that complicated things. Still, you couldn't just sit around and do nothing.

Helsing: Stroker thinks he killed you. Use it to your advantage and keep a low profile.

Y/N: Right. I'll go look for Elizabat. Can you head to Transylvania? Just to make sure everyone will be safe?

Helsing: I'll go. I'll keep an eye on things.

Dracula: I will inform the Court of this plot. But, without concrete evidence, I cannot move against Lord Stroker.

Y/N: I get it. I'll keep in touch.

You were about to hang up, but your uncle quickly stopped you.

Helsing: Y/N.

Y/N: Uh, yeah?

Helsing: Just.....please be safe. Lord Stroker has a lot of powerful friends out there.

You looked to Abbey who nodded.

Y/N: I will. Promise.

You hung up and tossed the phone back to Abbey. You then pulled on the coat that Abbey had offered you. Your bag was lost in the fall, so all you had was your brace. Not exactly ideal when fighting a Vampire Lord you learned.

Abbey: So, where are we going?

You looked at her.

Y/N: I'm going to look for Elizabat.

Abbey: We are going to look for Elizabat. You are too injured. Like Uncle Eddy going skiing after having too much Yak Milk.

Y/N: Yaks make milk?

Abbey walked over and placed a hand on your shoulder.

Abbey: We will stick together. Like icicles.

You smiled a bit before pulling out the Mapalogue. You then held it out towards Abbey who placed her hand on it.

Y/N: Elizabat Stroker, Extro Monstrum.

In a flash of light, you were both suddenly transported out of the ice cave and right into the middle of a street. You both looked around and noticed that there were people walling around like nothing was going on. Monsters of all kinds.

Abbey: Where are we?

Man: HEY!

You both turned around and found someone marching towards you. You groaned when you realized you recognized the man.

Kolin VanVerbeentengarden

Kolin stopped when he saw you. He cupped his cheeks and smiled widely.

Kolin: It's you!

Y/N: Good Satan. It's this guy.

Kolin walked over and was about to hug you, but you took a step back to avoid it.

Abbey: Who is this overlyaffectionate monster?

Y/N: This is...

Kolin: Kolin VanVerbeentengarden. You can call me VanVerbeentengarden.

Y/N: Just call him Kolin.

Kolin: This one here was one of my best models.

Abbey looked at you but you just looked away.

Y/N: I rather not talk about it. It took me a week to get that gold eyeliner off.

Kolin: So what bring you to my movie set?

Your attention snapped back to him and you looked around. Wait, this was all just a set. You could see the beams holding up some of the store fronts and someone getting their makeup done. Looking behind Kolin, you could even see the cameras and crew.

Y/N: Wait. Where are we?

Kolin: Where are you?! Baby, you're in Hauntlywood!

You and Abbey both looked at each other with wide eyes. Hauntlywood? Why did the Monster Mapalogue bring you to Hauntlywood? Was Elizabat here?

Kolin: So, what are you doing in town? Decided to take some modeling gigs?

Y/N: No. Uh...

You turned to Kolin and gestured for his phone. He handed it to you and you typed up a name. You then showed him the picture of Elizabat.

Y/N: Do you know anyone here that looks like this?

Kolin looked at the picture and laughed.

Kolin: Everyone knows who this is. Well, some do. She usually isn't wearing her glasses though.

Abbey: So you know where Elizabat Stoker is?

Kolin: Elizabat? I think you mean Veronica Von Vamp.

He pointed at a nearby posted and you and Abbey both looked. It was a poster for the newest Vampire Queen movie. On the cover was none other than Veronica Von Vamp.

Abbey: Elizabat is...

Y/N: Veronica. Well, this isn't going to be any easier.

Kolin: She should be in her trailer right now. I can take you there if you'd like.

You looked at him and immediately became glad that you threw on a dress and some makeup.

Y/N: That would be...great.
-------------
Kolin approached a large pink trailer in the backlot while you and Abbey followed. You were looking around in awe and amazement. You were on an actual Backlot surrounded by sound stages, large scale props, and actors that you recognized.

Y/N: This is insane!

Abbey: Why are you so excited?

Y/N: We're in Hauntlywood! The place where movies are made! Well, the Monster ones. Still! This is amazin-Ah!

You stopped and held your gut. Abbey quickly checked on you but you just waved it off. Maybe you shouldn't be too excited when you were still injured.

Kolin approached two security gargoyles and showed them his pass.

Kolin: Those two are with me.

You and Abbey both waved while the guards looked at you. They shrugged and allowed him to pass. Together, the three od you entered the trailer where you heard humming. You all looked to a chair that was near a vanity. The mirror had no reflection but the three of you, which made the chair move.

It then turned all the way around, revealing who was there. You recognized her immediately.

Veronica: Kolin! What are you doing here?

You immediately found yourself enamored. She looked a bit different out of costume. But, she was still pretty cute.

She looked past Kapin to you and Abbey. However, her eyes grew large when she saw you. She leaped to her feet and immediately headed to you.

Veronica: No way! You're Y/N Van Helsing!

You were shocked. You leaned back a bit when she leaned forward. You could almost see the stars in her eyes.

Y/N: Y-You know who I am?

Veronica: Totally! I was one of your first subscribers! I love your videos!

She was a fan? You had fans? And one of them was a famous movie star? Is this how it felt to reach the top?

Abbey: Yes, he is Y/N Van Helsing. Now focus up.

Veronica looked at her and you gently pushed her back by her shoulders.

Y/N: We came here for a reason. We have a problem and you might be the key to solving it.

Veronica gasped.

Veronica: You want me to be in one of your videos?

You shook your head.

Y/N: Actually, this is about your uncle. Lord Stroker.

Veronica's excitement suddenly came to an end. She narrowed her eyes at you before she turned to Kolin.

Veronica: Could you give us a moment? Please?

Kolin: No worries, sweetie. I'll be outside.

Kolin stepped out of the trailer, leaving just the three of you behind. Veronica crossed her arms and sighed. She then walked back to her vanity and grabbed her glasses before putting them on.

Veronica: Well, how did you find me?

You reached into your pocket and pulled out the Mapalogue. She looked at it in surpise then to you.

Veronica: How do you have the.....

She came to a realization and nodded.

Veronica: Uncle Dracula sent you. Why?

You put the Mapalogue away.

Y/N: Your uncle. He's planning something and he's using my friend to do it. We need your help to stop him.

Abbey: So it's time for war.

Y/N: No war.

Abbey: No war.

Veronica slowly shook her head.

Veronica: I left that life behind 400 years ago. I can't help you.

You understood what she meant. You really did. You wanted to get away from your life as a Monster Hunter yourself, but situations like this always had a way of bringing you back.

Y/N: Draculaura is in trouble.

Veronica turned back to you in a panic. Her eyed wide in worry.

Y/N: Your uncle lied. He made her the new Vampire Queen so he could rule things behind the scenes. He even tried to kill me to make sure she didn't find out.

Veronica gasped. However, her stance didn't change. You looked down at the Mapalogue before taking a breath.

Y/N: I know you don't want to do this.

Veronica looked up at you.

Y/N: I don't want to be fighting monsters all my life. But, in times like this, we don't get a choice. We don't get to be selfish. Times like this we have to put others before ourselves.

You put the Mapalogue away and looked to Veronica.

Y/N: So, you gonna help, or are you going to just let everyone suffer?

Veronica narrowed her eyes at you.

Veronica: That isn't fair.

You shrugged.

Y/N: It hardly is.

Veronica stared at you for a moment before she sighed.

Veronica: You can't use the Mapalogue. It'll break the treaty.

Abbey: We're aware.

Veronica crossed her arms and smiled.

Veronica: Fine. How about a deal?

You raised a brow.

Veronica: I help you bring down my uncle, them I get to be in one of your videos.

You looked at her for a moment, then smiled.

Y/N: Alright. You got yourself a deal. Now, would you have a way for us to get to Transylvania? Preferably within the week?
