"I'll come if you want," Foster offered. He was interested to find out more about Alyssa's situation. Until today, monsters being real was just a cheesy horror movie. Besides, 'best to get to know everyone' as his brother liked to say.

Cerberus watched the axe be placed on the ground and pushed away. He stopped growling, teeth re-covered, but no less wary. Keeping Samuel close, Cerberus shuffled forward a little, the three heads cautiously sniffing at Oswald. He smelled relatively similar to the male food human, but still distinctly without food to offer. For now, deciding that smelling like the food human was enough, Cerberus accepted the new human. Showing this by the middle head licking him and slobbering all over him.

Samuel watched as Cerberus sniffed and licked at Oswald. "Can we keep him?" He asked, wrapping his arms around the left head's neck as much as his little arms could. "Pleeeeeease?" Sam begged, drawing out the word.

"Okay. Fine with me." Alyssa walked back towards where she thought the entrance and exit was.

Foster followed her in silence at first. Then after gathering the courage, he spoke up, "So... What's it, um, like being a... vampire?" He hoped he didn't sound rude and inconsiderate.

~~~~~~

A laugh escaped Oswald's mouth as he hopelessly tried to shake off the slobber. He looked up at the head, thinking about Sam's question. "I... I don't know bud. I don't think he's something you can just own. Besides, you'd have to basically live here with how large he is."

Alyssa thought about Foster's question. "It's interesting. I haven't been a vampire that long, though. I hope I can get changed back to normal. I don't want to live forever, drink blood, and turn to dust in sunlight, but I can't change that now."

Samuel honest to god pouted. "But Ozzie, he's a big puppy. He's three big puppies. How can you say no?" He asked, gesturing to Cerberus.
At first Cerberus watched the kid try to get a pet, but then he noticed the food human trying to leave.
All three heads moved at once, lining up and Cerberus walked around Oswald and Samuel. Ducking through the hallway, Cerberus stood in front of the food human Foster and pushed him back towards the room. The middle head huffed as if to complain about him leaving.

Foster almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Cerberus stand in front of him. Gulping down a yelp, he glanced at Oswald or anyone for help.

Oswald shrugged and dug in his pockets. Pulling out a jerky stick, he waved it in the air. "Here.Just let Foster go for a walk. He'll be back. You can have this in the mean time"

Alyssa glanced at Foster. The big dog apparently didn't want him to go. "Uh... should someone else come with me, or what?"

Cerberus' three heads stared at Foster until Oswald waving something got his attention. The three heads looked between the offered food and Foster several times, each head whining at the choice. He wanted food human Foster but now Oswald was offering to be a food human too.
Deciding that the human's he's claimed shouldn't split up, Cerberus rushed over to Oswald and Sam. One head pushed at each of their backs to nudge them towards Foster and the girl, the third head trying to steal the offered jerky.
Samuel laughed as he was pushed towards the other two. "Aw, guys, now we have to keep him." He decided, turning to pet the head that nudged him.

Oswald let the third head eat the jerky. "There's your treat. Now let them go alone," Oswald firmly said, sitting on the ground to make a statement that he was not going to move easily.


Trying again, Foster thought about her earlier response. "Hmmm. I can see your perspective. Since you haven't been one for long, I'm guessing you haven't tried to turn into a bat yet. Until we figure out a way for you to turn back, you should try to explore your new powers. They could come in handy."

Cerberus whined again, trying to get his way with his new humans. They were squishy and small and stupid. They were babies and he was certain he knew what was best for them but yet they wouldn't listen.
The middle head huffed and decided they'd do this the hard way.
The Middle head picked Oswald up by the back of his shirt and the left picked up Samuel the same, like caring pups by their scruffs. Cerberus walked behind Foster-food-human and not-human-girl. The right head yipped happily with the solution.
Samuel of course found the entire situation amazing. "I think Cerberus wants to keep us." He laughed, reaching over to pet the middle head's neck. "Good puppies."

"Hey! What the-," Oswald complained as he was lifted up into the air. "And after I gave you a jerk stick!" He squirmed around, trying to wiggle loose.

Foster sighed and looked at Alyssa defeated, "Guess we're having company."

Cerberus walked proudly with his humans, following his other human. The right head licked Oswald's face as an apology, breath reeking of jerky, before turning to lick the back of Foster's head so the twin wouldn't feel left out.
Sam only giggled. Digging around his pockets he took out his little phone and took a picture of them the best he could, reminding himself to take a picture of all three heads together once they got to wherever they were going.

Alyssa wasn't sure how to react to the dog. Would it possibly attack her because she wasn't human? What would the dog do? She knew it could do some serious damage if it wanted.

Foster sighed and pretended that they weren't there. "Anyway, the pond should be a few turns up here," he informed Alyssa.

Oswald continued to struggle until he could feel himself sliding out of his t-shirt. Clutching to his shirt, he stopped moving and decided to just enjoy the ride.

Cerberus' middle head huffed through it's nose. Oswald was clearly going to be a rowdy human to have.
His left head however was more concerned with Foster. He leaned forward to rest that chin on the food-human's shoulder, or at least what would fit anyway. Doing it's best to get Foster's attention, the left head whined in Fosters ear and licked at him, determined to get some response out of his other human, not very concerned with the not-human girl next to him. Cerberus knew he'd kill her if he had to, but thus far none of his humans had a problem with her, so, neither did Cerberus.

Foster glanced at the head that tried to fit on his shoulder. "Yes?" He asked, not sure what else to say. The teen gave an annoyed look at Oswald who gave a small wave back, "Sorry bro. I tried."

Turning to Alyssa he said, "I lied. I don't know him. Or any of them."

Cerberus' left head barked happily at being noticed, leaving the shoulder that didn't quite fit him and deciding to rest on top of Foster's head instead, letting out one loud bark, as if to declare that the food-human noticed him, and everyone needed to know.
Sam kept petting the middle head's neck, giggling at the situation they were in. "Hey Foster, why's the sky blue?" He asked, swinging his legs slightly for fun.

Foster tried to keep the weight on his head up, doubting that the head on top of his knew how heavy it actually was. Thinking back to what he inferred was middle school, Foster answered, "When the sun shines, the light is broken apart as it comes through the atmosphere. An atmosphere is a layer of gases that surround a planet by the way. Anyway, it's broken by little particles that are too small for us to see. Light is also made up of different sizes of of colored light. Small colored light like blue and violet is easier for the particles to break. However, our eyes are more sensitive to the color blue than to violet so be see the sky as blue instead of violet." Turning one last corner, they arrived at the pond. "There it is! Go ahead and help yourself," Foster said to Alyssa.

Bella looked at Zen. "Do you ever want to get out of here? If so, we have to go to the other gate! Come on, we need to go exploring through the mansion.

Emily looked at everyone. She'd been busy trying to text Silver. "Forgot to tell you guys, I'm Emily in case you didn't know." She smiled.

Silver ran into the mansion, looking for Alyssa. She ran into her and a few others, including Cerberus. "Kinda cute.. and scary.. at the same time!" She said. She went up to the many headed dog and stroked the middle head. "I love animals.. Including kinda scary three headed ones" she smiled.

Samuel stared at Foster, not entirely getting his explanation, but enjoying it nonetheless. "Okay, but then why's the ocean blue?" He asked.

Cerberus didn't see the person running up to them at first, all of his heads focused more on his humans. All of a sudden he got three nose full of an unfamiliar sent, a person too close for comfort, and a stranger's hand touching him.
In the surprise of it all, the middle head dropped Oswald, the left nearly dropping Sam too except for the last minute thought small pups break, don't break the small pup. Cerberus reared up on his hind legs, more like a horse than a dog, kicking out with is front legs and missing anyone by near inches, the two empty mouthed heads letting out deep, loud barks laced with growls louder than any regular dog could make.
As soon as his paws were back on the ground, not crushing Oswald thank god, each head was growling, the middle head realizing it had dropped food-human-Oswald at the same time that the right head realized no head was protecting Foster.
The right head bit the back of Foster's shirt and yanked him back. The middle and left heads positioned Oswald and Sam into the same position as Foster, into a small bubble of protection against the beast's chest and under it's three necks.
All three heads stared at the new human, daring them to even try hurting his humans with teeth bared.

Alyssa had to make sure that there was no sunlight outside. After all, as a vampire, she would probably turn to dust. She would hate to die that way.

Silver's blue eyes looked at Ceberus calmly, she didn't look at all scared. "Look.. Ceberus I'm not a murderer.. Chill." She smiled. She was totally laid back. "Oh and.. Bella's died by the way..." she sighed. That totally broke her happiness but she still looked calm. "Also, I'm Silver. As some of you may already know." She smiled.

Zen pokes her head out of the room. She looks right to left and right again. "It's clear." She whispers to Bella and steps out of the room.

Foster opened his mouth to answer, but instead of words coming out a yelp did. "AHHH! WHA-," he yelled as the ground became farther and farther.

"Ok! Ok! What is going on?! I- Oh, another monster? Uh, hey," he weakly said, barely able to see her through the heads, fur, and necks. "Um... could you please not do that? I can only handle so much whiplash."

~~~~

Hanging upside down, Oswald's hair was fully out of his face for once. He rubbed his head, slightly hitting it from the fall. Quickly tucking in his shirt, his arms dangled by his ears and looked at the newcomer. Oswald smiled at Silver and was glad to see she was ok. Then he realized how different she looked and her news registered and his smile started to fade.

"Wait, what? You, too? Bella d..."

Cerberus took the girl's eye contact as a threat, left head snapping at her in warning. He hunched down a little lower, yet still not becoming shorter than the girl, to shield his humans more from her. Something was wrong with her, he was certain. Fearlessness was idiotic in the animal kingdom, and Cerberus was determined not to let it spread to his humans. They were already clumsy enough, the poor things, they didn't need any more disadvantages.

Samuel huddled close to Cerberus chest, looking up at the beast's necks. "What's the matter with him?" He whispered, petting at the broad chest of the monster. He could practically feel the vibrations of the growling in his bones. "Do you think he's hungry?" Sam offered solutions quietly. "Or maybe he's tired?"

Silver looked at them. ''It's not that. He doesn't recgonize me because he doesn't know me and he wants to protect you guys. And yeah.. Bella died. But she's a ghost now. I'm some human deer thing so yeah.. And there's a few other monsters out and about. Oh and I saw a Kitsune and a Chimera.'' she explained. ''Totally normal in a haunted mansion'' she smiled.

Oswald slowly nodded, but then shook his head, not understanding. "I don't get it. Who or what is turning everyone into monsters?" He glanced at Sam then back at Silver. "Do you know... who's next? Whoever or whatever is doing this is obviously not going to stop. Maybe we can get a step ahead though."
