As night turned into day the lonely cart kept rolling and as said, night turned into day. Of course Petra, Axel, Jess, Gabriel, and Dan were tired from walking all night, but they managed to trudge on. Boxer (the horse) was still going a steady pace, sometimes getting fed carrots thanks to Jess.

Though inside the cart was a different story. Jesse was knocked out sleeping, Stampy was (of course) unconscious while Stacy was petting his hair. Then she noticed a little necklace around Stampys neck, like the one she saw in that blasted book. How Stampy got that, Stacy didn't know but then again she didn't care. At the moment all she cared about was Stampy coming back to consciousness.

It was strange petting Stampys hair. You would think that since Stacy is a ghost she wouldn't be able to do that, but in this world she could. Though maybe she should be glad, not a lot of souls get this chance, though a demon hunter is after her. One thing at a time Stacy, she told herself.

Still petting the young man's hair, Stacy smiled at how he slept so peacefully, even if he was in a coma. It was hard to believe so much time has passed, though for her it's only been a few weeks. For every year that goes by in the living world a week passed by in the inferno. So six weeks was really six years.

She called out Jesse's name a few times to make sure he was asleep, when Stacy was sure she sighed. "Well at least he's asleep," she said before looking back down at Stampy, "Hm. You know I guess a part of me always liked you Stampy, from the moment you first arrived with Soren. I guess it's weird since I was always older than you, but that didn't stop anything did it?"

Stacy looked around and peaked out the back tarp to see Dan talking with Axel. Going back inside the wagon Stacy continued talking to Stampy as if he was awake. "Remember that thing I said when I first came back? Well let's just say I didn't come up with it on the spot. I always hoped that when I came back that I would be married, but I guess you have other plans. Gosh I was so close to a new life but... you brought me back here. I'm not mad or disappointed, I'm just confused. None of this is supposed to happen, and no one asked us to go on this quest. So maybe... just maybe... I'll stay with you once we get back to New Growler. I can get Lukas to write down the ingredients needed to make the potion to bring me back. Watch, once you wake up you're going to be shocked to see me alive."

"That's sweet of you." Said a male voice.

Stacy almost jumped and looked up, Jesse was awake and giving her a smug look. "So you two where a couple! And why didn't anyone tell me! Even if we're dead I support you guys."

"Thanks Jesse..." Stacy murmured.

"But if you don't mind me asking... Have you two done the frickle frackle?" Jesse asked, a dirty look plastered on his face.

Stacy growled at Jesse while he just laughed. But his laughing stopped when he heard a whisper coming from the bags that were also in the cart. "What's the frickle frackle?" the voiced whispered.

"Shut up fool!" another voiced whispered back.

The two spirits shared the same glare as they looked at the pile of sacks and bags. Then a wolf ear popped out of the bags, then another, then four! Jesse pulled down the bag to reveal two werewolf pups sitting in the bag; Keanu and Moon Moon. The moment Jesse saw the werewolves one of them jumped at him.

Moon Moon jumped at Jesse and bit one of his arm bones. Jesse tried to shake the wolf pup off but it caused a lot of noise in the cart. "What's going on in there?" Lukas asked, shouting 'woah' to the horse causing the cart to stop.

In a panic Keanu also jumped out and tried to rip Moon Moon away from Jesse. You could hear footsteps coming from outside, and Stacy knew what would happen if the pups were caught. So she helped Keanu get Moon Moon off Jesses' arm. But it was no use.

At this point everyone who was outside was probably about to come inside and spot everything. Then Jesse had a magnificent plan; he took out the bone Moon Moon was biting and basically threw the pup back into the sacks, Keanu flying along with him. Fortunately Stacy, let go of the gangster werewolf pup before he flew back into the bags. But she was almost hit by the werepups and dodged it, only to almost fall on Stampy. Of course thanks to werewolf reflexes she didn't but it looked as if she was pinning him to the floor, which could misinterpret of what actually happened.

As if cued Petra moved the curtain that covered the wagon. "What's with all the-" Petra started but stopped mid sentences.

"Jesse why is your arm bone missing?" Axel asked.

Dan looked away and Gabriel covered Radars eyes. Lukas groaned in frustration, "Not cool Stacy, he's asleep!"

"What! But I didn't... this isn't what it looks like!" Stacy said, moving back onto her place against the bags.

"We have kids here," Gabriel added, "and you're a ghost that would be... weird."

"I swear I didn't do anything!" She pleaded.

"Suuuuuure you didn't, next time just be quiet... some of us are still pure." Radar said. That finished the conversation.

"But I didn't do anything." Stacy grumbled as if she was still a pup.

As everyone left and the wagon started to move again Moon Moon popped his head out of the pile of bags, still biting Jesses arm bone. Keanu on the other paw, got out of the bags and snatched the bone out of Moon Moons mouth. The older pup whimpered and the little gangster started to bite the bone.

Though Jesse had enough of his bone being bitten or stolen every few days. Smacking Keanu on the back of the head, Jesse put his bone back in place. Ignoring both pups whimpering quietly, he even shot them a 'don't mess with me' look.

"You two, get over here. Now." Stacy growled and watched the two pups get out of the pile and sat in front of her.

"Look kids I don't know what you're doing here, and we can't send you home. So here's what were going to do. No stealing Jesse's bones, no attacking humans, and do what I tell you. Understand?" Stacy whispered.

The two pups nodded, though Keanu let out a little angry whimper. So the pups did what she said. Two pups, away from the pack, and with humans and two spirits...

The next morning the cart reached the tunnel connecting the grasslands to the town. It was about nine and people were already up and about.

When the villagers saw the cart stop in front of the Mayors office they cheered, thinking they were home for good. But Lukas shook his head no and dismissed everyone.

Lukas, Petra, and Axel went into the office to speak with Olivia to tell her what happened. Gabriel and Jess grabbed Stampy and took him back to the farm, Stacy and Dan following. Jesse stayed in the cart, he needed his nap time. That left Radar all alone, so he went to the church. Nurm always had the best advice.

Approaching the church Radar looked through one of the windows to see if mass was going on. Unfortunately for him it was, until he heard a door open and people start to leave. Walking inside, Radar approached the front rows of benches where he saw someone praying. The boy who was praying looked up at Radar and gave a small wave.

"S-sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you." Radar apologized.

"It's nothing, I was just finishing up anyways. If you're looking for father Nurm he's in the back with the blacksmith." The boy explained.

"Oh, you mean Grazer? Hmm, I guess we all have troubles."

"Well duh! If no one had any troubles then why would any of us be at church? Why would I be praying to Notch right now? Why would Jeb have died on the cross?"

"True I guess. Sorry I'm not as religious as I should be." Radar apologized again.

"Don't worry about it, usually I'm not either. Today I just feel like praying that the devil doesn't eat my soul." The boy said.

Radar flinched a little bit, the devil isn't everyone's favorite topic. "I should be the one praying not you."

"Why?"

"Because my friends and I are about to go on a quest to defeat the evil Ein. You know the werewolf guy Petra keep gloating that she killed? Well he's actually alive."

"But why would they need you? I mean isn't they mayor going on this 'quest'?" The boy asked.

"Lukas? Yeah he's going. So is all the old townsfolk. Why do you ask?"

"Well think of it this way. Mayor Lukas is like... really smart and good with maps. Petra the hunter and Gabriel the guard are good fighters. Jess is a doctor, Axel is a destroyer, and Dan... is Dan. The point is, they don't really need you or Dan on this quest. I think you two are just slowing them down." The boy explained.

"When you put it that way... yeah I guess so. I just wanted to be helpful for once and not stand on the sidelines. I could've stopped Stampy from getting shot in the arm and yet I just held his hat. Wow, I'm useless aren't I?"

"Of course not! I mean to them you are but not here, not in town! Do you really think Olivia, a woman, is fit to be the mayor? She should be healing the sick and fixing stuff! Like any woman should do! You can be the Mayor while Lukas is away! The town needs you just as much as we need them! Come on turn that frown upside down!" The boy encouraged.

This kid is sort of right, Radar thought. I mean not about the thing with Olivia, she's great and all. But with Stampy back and knocked out someone needs to take care of him. "Yeah... yeah! You're right kid! Who needs Lukas and Jess anyways when I could be the Mayor!" Radar said, his eyes a gold color. "Thanks kid, I'll see you around!"

Radar ran full speed out of the church and the boy stood up laughed a cruel, unforgiving laugh. "Good. One less person in my way. Those souls will me mine!" 

~~~

At the farm it looked to be completely ran by kids. A girl named Julia ran the whole thing. She told kids to herd the sheep, milk the cows, grab the chickens eggs, etc. While she gave Dawson the job of watching Winslow. It may sound easy but Winslow is Winslow, very jumpy.

When the two girls saw Gabriel and Jess limping Stampy over to the farm the let the three in right away. Gabriel put Stampy on the couch and Jess checked his pulse for the fifth time today. "What's wrong with him?" Dawson asked.

"He's unconscious ya dummy!" Julia said, though teasingly. She even nudged the blond girls shoulder. It's not like she's trying to be rude, she's just trying to make a friend... even though it made Dawson uncomfortable.

"Don't worry girls," Jess spoke up, "We just need you to make sure he's breathing while we're away. And if something seems wrong, get Olivia immediately! Understood?"

Julia smiled and gave a little salute. "You can count on us miss!"

Dawson nodded then asked, "Are you staying for long? Or are you guys leaving again?"

"We must leave little one. As long as that evil werewolf is out there we must find him, and end him," Gabriel explained, "but we all have a role to play. Ours is fighting evil, and yours is looking after this fool of a man."

"Don't worry Mr! You have the right wizard for the task!" Julia boasted. Oh yeah... she's a wizard. Not very powerful but a wizard.

"You mean witch." Dawson corrected.

"What? I'm a wizard not a witch!" Julia argued.

"No, you're a witch. Men are wizards, women are witches. Like how a crow is a male and a raven is a female. Same species but different names."

"Oh. Does that mean I'm going to be burned or something?"

"Not unless you do something stupid."

"Girls please..." Gabriel sighed.

"Shhh. Let the child learn." Jess said.

~~~

Though outside while Gabriel and Jess were talking to the two girls Stacy was staring at the barn and spoke to Dan. "Wow... this place hasn't changes one bit. You kept this place in good shape Dan, I'm proud."

"Aw thanks mo-... Stacy." Dan said, catching himself before he could say 'mom'.

Stacy chuckled. "Why do you keep calling me mom? You know I'm not your mother, and before you absolutely hated working on the farm. What changed?"

"Well," Dan began, "after the whole attack thing it made me feel alone for awhile. You were dead, the others were dead, I almost died... even Lizzie died if you didn't know. And I never really knew my parents anyway. I heard from Romeo that they where from Growler Town, but they must've not wanted me or something. Not to sound sappy, but you're the closest thing I've had to a real mom. Even before you 'adopted' me, I was working on the farm and you took care of me. It wasn't until things started getting more intense that I started seeing you as a mom. So yeah, I guess that's why."

Stacy stayed silent for a moment then smiled at Dan. "If I was alive right now I would give you a hug. If Romeo was here right now he probably wouldn't see you as a junior anymore, because I sure don't."

"Thanks... mom..."

"You're welcome Daniel. Also..."

"What?" Dan asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Whatever you do with that sword on your back... make sure you kill Ein with it. Stab him right in the chest!"

"Okay a little too much there... but yeah I'll kill him with it."

The two talked for a few minutes when the door to the house opened and four people walked out. First Gabriel and Jess, who waved to them as they walked back to the wagon. Then Dawson and Julia walked outside, the two girls instantly ran up to them. "You're alive!" Dawson cheered, she didn't know Stacy was alive until then.

"Uh... I'm a spirit... whoever you are." Stacy said, confused.

"Cool! Don't mind Dawson, she's a little weird. That's why we're the best of friends!" Julia chirped.

Dan laughed at the girls personality, how ecstatic they both were to see a ghost. But all Stacy could look at was a little gun holder that was attached to Julia's belt, and the little gun that rested in it. It was probably a BB gun but it gave Stacy dark thoughts.

There was something Stacy was told constantly when she was younger. "You always remember someones face before they betray you. Because that's when you know they don't care about you." And looking at that gun only brought back the image of Lizzie right before she shot her. She could feel the blood trickling down her leg again, the sudden flash of red that she saw, the blast of pain on her left side. In response to those images, Stacy let out a low growl at the girl.

"Are you okay ghost lady?" Julia asked.

"You..." Stacy growled.

"Me?"

"The gun... Lizzie... why?"

"Um, do you need to lay down or something?"

Then... Stacy snapped. "Why did you do it? You little brat!"

Julia jumped back and hid behind Dawson, who was as equally afraid. Dan almost tripped when she started to yell at a kid she didn't know. But afraid that Stacy was going to attack her, and reveal her wolf ears, he was relived when she turned her back and said, "Watch your back. Because something is coming for people like you." When she started to walk away Dan looked at the girls and mouthed 'sorry' before chasing after her.

Both girls were still terrified. People like you? Does she mean witches? Oh Notch am I going to get burned? Or hanged? Anything but that! ANYTHING BUT THAT! was all Julia could think about.

~~~

Back at the wagon everyone recollected there. Stacy was in the wagon with Jesse (who was till sleeping), Gabriel was feeding Boxer, Dan polished his sword as a normal swordsman would do, and Jess was looking at a map (or trying to. She can't read maps). When Petra, Lukas, and Axel got back everyone was ready to go. At least until Gabriel asked, "Where's Radar? We can't leave without him."

"Oh. He ran into my office a few a little while ago and said that he would stay behind to be mayor while I'm away." Lukas explained

"Plus he already came by and took his stuff off the wagon. We'll get places a lot quicker now... hopefully." Petra added.

"But who will help you read the maps Lukas?" Gabriel asked.

"I can read maps just fine Gabriel. If you want, you can stay behind too. Between us I was hopeful that Radar would stay here and be Mayor for a few weeks or so. I trust him enough to lead, and I really need a break from Maya complaining all the time." Lukas said.

"But-"

"Enough! Come on, Radar made his choice. We aren't getting any closer to beating that mutt of a werewolf just standing around. So lets go!" Axel complained.

"Lets." Lukas agreed.

Gabriel sighed and started walking ahead the the wagon, which started to follow him a few paces later. Radar was so exited to come on this journey... what changed?

Once out of New Growlers borders, Jesse finally woke up to a very angry Stacy. "Psst. Stacy. We need to check on our little... guests."

Though he instantly regretted saying anything because Stacy growled at him and her werewolf features were out. Though her eyes really scared him, they were almost snake like.

Regardless she moved some bags (including Stampys duffel bag which they forgot to remove) to find nothing there. Moon Moon and Keanu were missing... their stowaways were gone.

~~~

The two werewolf pups wandered the dirt streets of New Growler. Keanu had his bandanna wrapped around his head, and his tail was tucked under the back of his shirt. Moon Moon was wearing a cloak and a scarf, possibly to keep him from biting stuff. The pups have never been in a human town before, or any town besides Growler Town.

"This place is amazing! Full of so many new smells!" Moon Moon said, his voice cheerful.

"Shush fool! You know what the old shewolf said. I do all the talking. So put your scarf back on!" Keanu said.

"Sorry. I'm just exited." Moon Moon whimpered. He put the scarf back over his mouth and the two kept walking.

The passed by the church, the mayors office, Stampys cart and shop, everything! Even Kate, Kevin, and Genesis arguing. Until they heard a little Blaaaa. They looked over and hopped onto a fence, and their little eyes lit up with joy. A whole herd of sheep, unattended, alone, completely helpless...

They were about to jump over and dig in on their meal when two things happened. The first thing was that two human kids (one girl wearing a brown hoodie and a boy wearing a green hoodie) and a dog ran over to the sheep. And a voice from behind said, "Can we help you?"

The two pups looked over and saw a blond girl with short hair, a backpack, black shorts, a blue t-shirt, and a very cool tooth necklace behind them. "Please get off the fence, Rebecca just fixed it."

Confused the two pups got off the fence, Keanu stood up while Moon Moon sat down. The only reason Moon Moon got off in the first place was to admire the pretty human.

Then another human ran up next to the girl. "What's going on? Oh, hello!" She said. This human was a little bit taller than first one. She had brown hair, but the pups could barely see it due to her back cloak. She also had gold eyes, a belt with a gun holder (gun included), and an amulet around her neck to top it all off.

As if that wasn't enough a third human came up to them! At least this time it was a boy. He said, "Why are there kids here?" He was the most simple to explain, since he had white hair, freakish red eyes, an unzipped dark grey jacket (with the hood back), and a white t-shirt.

The three human children spoke amongst themselves and the two pups just watched. Moon Moon couldn't take his little eyes off the pretty humans girls, while Keanu was staring at the human boy, probably looking for a fight. But it also came to Keanus attention that these humans all had lighter skin tones than him, the blond girl even had freckles.

Keanu had Filipino/Hispanic skin tone, dark but not black, light but not white. "Yo," said the little gangster, "who are you? Stop talking about us!"

The boy stared at Keanu while the cloaked girl started to laugh. The blond girl shoved the other girl to make her stop laughing, then she looked to what she assumed was two little boys and said, "Sorry about her, she's nuts."

"I am not!" The cloaked girl complained.

"Shush. Anyways, I'm Dawson. The girl in the cloak in Julia and the albino is Light Kysumi." The blond girl explained.

"Well I'm Keanu and this is my brother Moon," the gangster kid explained, "we're gypsies so don't ask about the names k?" He was always a good liar.

Dawson, Julia, and Light looked at each other, then at Keanu and Moon Moon. If it wasn't awkward before it sure was now. Until a sudden bark could be heard and a beagle ran over to them. "Turtle!" Dawson gasped, as her dog pounced on Keanu.

Turtle continued to bark at Keanu and Moon Moon growled at the dog. While the dog was distracted, Light picked up Keanu away from the beagle.

"What's its problem?" Julia asked,

"I'm not sure. Oh gosh I'm so sorry!" Dawson pleaded.

"Yo dawg, its fine. Moon and I get jumped all the time." Keanu explained.

"Wow. You're really trying to be gangster aren't you?" Light said.

"I AM a gangster!" Keanu argued.

"Agree to disagree." Light groaned.

The five of them stood their for awhile, the girls asked each other what they should do with these little kids. Until Light coughed and got everyone's attention, "Hey, I really have to go so. You two can take these kids and do whatever."

Putting Keanu down he turned to leave, until Julia grabbed his arm and forced him to stop. "Go where? We get it, you convinced Radar to stay, big whoop. You're helping us with these kids!" She argued.

"Why though? They're gypsies right? Their parents must be in their boat or something. Gypsies travel by river, so they must've wandered too far from the south river. See? Everything is fine." Light explained.

"No! Everything isn't... stop ignoring me!" Julia complained.

Dawson, Moon Moon, Keanu, and even Turtle the beagle stayed out of the two arguing. Until Light said, "You know what? Fine! I don't need to be in private to do this."

"What are you talking about?" Both girls asked in unison.

Light showed no expression on his face. Turtle stood up and started to growl, so did Moon Moon. Keanu and Dawson didn't know what was happening, and Julia could sense dark magic in the air. With the snap of Lights fingers they were all gone. Julia, Dawson, Keanu, Moon Moon, himself, and even Turtle the beagle.

They all vanishing into thin air, where did they go? Well they had no idea. But they realized that they were stuck with a wizard... or maybe... a demon.
