Mabel, Gideon and Wendy made their way through the hallway silently, no torches were lit in order to stay undetected as best they could. Gideon gulped quietly, and flinched when he heard another set of footsteps in the hall.

"Who's the-ere~?" a girl's voice called teasingly.

"T-T-T-That wasn't m-me" Mabel squeaked, gripping the stake tighter.

"N-nor me" Wendy said in reply.

"Gideon Gleeful, I swear if you're playing a joke on-" Wendy started but saw Gideon looked horrified.

"Guys...." he breathed, pointing with a trembling finger at a shadow.
An eerie giggle echoed through the halls.
"It's a little rude to enter without someone's permission, isn't it?" asked the same feminine but chilling voice.

Mabel's brown eyes widened, seeing the blonde vampire at the end of the hall; before she could blink the vampire ran towards them.
"Pacifica!" Mabel gasped, raising her crucifix to make the girl back off.
Pacifica hissed, shielding her eyes with her hands and backed away a little bit.

"B-Braces?! what are you doing here?" Pacifica asked, Mabel growled at the nickname.

"Don't call me that" Mabel snarled. "If you must know, we've come to rescue my brother and our friends from Bill Cipher" she added, placing the crucifix around her neck again.
"And WHY would you wanna do that?! he's one of the most powerful entities here! why do you think he's the HEAD VAMPIRE?!" she whined.

"Gee, I had no idea!" Mabel replied, her words dripping with sarcasm.
"Listen here, Paz! Do ya want savin' or not?!" Gideon asked in an irritated fashion.
Paz huffed and folded her arms.
"What do YOU think?"
Gideon raised his eyebrows in mock shock.
"Don't look like she wants to be rescued. Oh, what will I tell ya parents?" Gideon asked in pretend sadness, a hand on his heart.

Pacifica chuckled. "You're bluffing, Gleeful. Big time!" she said, though inside she was nervous, an unusual trait to see in a monster.

"Not this time, Pacifica" Gideon said sternly, holding Mabel's hand subconsciously.

Mabel frowned and withdrew her hand, Gideon glancing back with a sorrowful expression in his eyes. Wendy rolled her eyes, knowing full well of Gideon's crush on Mabel.

"You want to be normal or not?" the white-haired male asked impatiently. Pacifica pondered for a little bit.

"Okay. But only because my family won't want a vampire as a daughter" she answered in a sad tone, remembering her parents.
She shook the thoughts from her head and replaced her sad expression with a look of disgust.

"Well, come on then! go save us!" she demanded. Mabel scowled, but left with the other two.

Mabel was still peeved at what Pacifica was like, her fingers tightening around the stake.
"Ugh,even when she's a vampire, she's a total bitch" Mabel said in annoyance.
"I HEARD THAT!" Pacifica yelled from the hallway.
"You were supposed to" Mabel murmured, mentally flipping her off.
Wendy and Gideon exchanged looks of agreement as they trekked down the halls.

"And where do you think you're going?" asked a dark voice.
Gideon glared into the darkness, Mabel gasped and held onto Gideon's arm while Wendy looked frozen.
"No....it can't be..." Gideon breathed.
