Author's Note: Hi guys, so I finally decided to create another M.B.A.V story, and this is obviously the sequel to 'Living in the Supernatural'. Quick bits to help you out; Story begins the day before the boys' sophomore year, and it also follows the second series. There's a link on my profile to what Emma's and Maya's clothes look like, so check it out if you want, it might also help with the story. If there are any new readers, I recommend reading 'Living in the Supernatural' first, it would help a lot to understand what goes on this story. If you are not newcomers, then thank you so much for reviewing my last story, and I hope you enjoy this one just as much. I own nothing except my OC's - Maya and Emma. That's about it, thank you for reading and review if you can, it would mean a lot.
Sunday, 10:30
Whitechapel, Canada:
Ethan stared out of his bedroom window, a look of deep thought on his face. It had been two months since his sister disappeared, along with Maya and Sarah. And he missed them more than ever. Without Emma around the house, things were quiet and awkward. Without Maya, Rory was depressed and not acting like his unusual self. And without Sarah, Ethan never felt the usual excited tingles in his stomach. The three girls had more of an impact on the town than they thought, and with them gone, things were different. And not in the good way.
But ever since their disappearance, the missing-persons had decreased. There hadn't been any vampire attacks for at least two months, and it was more worrying than relieving to him. And without the girls around, or the supernatural chaos, it gave all three boys more time to think about the girls. Benny was working even harder at magic, the concentration helping to keep his mind off Emma. Ethan hardly ever saw Rory, hadn't since school ended, but he assumed that the vampire wasn't the best with Maya gone. But unlike his two best friends, Ethan couldn't forget the incident with Sarah, flashes constantly ran through his mind; Jesse's bite, blinding pain, and the relief he felt when Sarah had drained out the venom. Though all it did was increase his guilt, and his desperation to get the vampire back.
A large hissing sound pulled Ethan out of his thoughts, causing him to jump back from the window with wide eyes "Well, aren't you gonna let me in?" The familiar face asked, smirking at his reaction.
"Sarah? Course, come in" He said, moving back from the window.
"It is so good to see you again!" Sarah exclaimed, climbing through the window before throwing her arms around the fifteen year olds neck. He chuckled lightly, hugging her back.
"Yeah, it's good to see you too" He sighed, both of them pulling back a few seconds later "But, what happened? Did you find Jesse and make him pay for turning you into a vampire?" Sarah's face fell at the question.
"I'm fine" She insisted, taking a deep breath the contain her temper "I mean, I have some new challenges but I've accepted it, and so should you, okay?" He nodded, eyes narrowed slightly in confusion "I'm so excited to get back to school, aren't you?" She asked, her mood lightening.
"Yeah, but you don't have to accept it. I'm still looking for a vampire cure to get you back to normal" He sighed, shaking his head.
"This is Whitechapel, vampires are normal here" She giggled.
"Fine. Um, how's Emma and Maya? Are they back too? How are they?" He asked, the questions flying out of his mouth.
"They're both fine. And they're not back yet, but they are on their way" She reassured. He nodded, a wave of relief running through him.
"Good, I miss her, and Maya. Is she okay?"
"As far as I know, we kind of split about a month back. They both stayed in California, I came back and stuck around in Toronto, decided to try things out solo. But don't worry, I talked to Maya on the phone last night, they're both doing great and will probably be at school tomorrow" She shrugged, crossing her arms.
"Great. And, you're staying for good this time, right?" He asked hopefully. Sarah sighed, her eyes flickering towards the open window.
"You should get some sleep. But it is really good to be back" She said. He nodded, watching with a small smile as Sarah climbed out of the window, soon shooting up into the night sky.
Emma's POV:
I entered the school with Maya, her left arm linked through my right. Saying that I missed school would be an understatement, and something I never thought I'd ever say to myself. But I did miss it, more than anything. School was normal, an everyday occurrence, and even though I knew I'd never be normal again, school helped to keep that thought away. And it wasn't just school that I missed; It was my friends and family too. Obviously, I hadn't been home yet, Maya and I had only arrived early this morning, so we needed to get our strength together before the school day.
As we walked down the hall, I could smell the blood of nearly every student that surrounded me. Maya was definitely right about one thing; Being an Azeman was tough. But her family had been amazing to me, helped me control the blood-thirsty urge, and of course the powers that came with it. And even with nearly two months training, it was still pretty difficult to resist drinking people, how Maya managed was beyond me.
"Hey, you okay?" Maya asked worriedly, nudging my arm.
"Fine, just trying to deal" I whispered, glancing at each student that passed.
"I know it's difficult, just try not to think about it" She replied, a lot of sympathy in her tone.
"Easier said than done" I muttered, staring ahead of me. Though my eyes lit up as we turned the corner. Ethan and Benny stood down the hall near their lockers, talking about something or other.
"I'll leave you" Maya said, unlinking her arm from mine.
"You don't have to" I sighed, shaking my head at her.
"Yeah I do, you have to catch up with them, and I have a blonde vampire to find" She shrugged, crossing her arms. I smirked knowingly.
"Really? Wow, I didn't know you and Erica were so close" She laughed sarcastically, making her way down the opposite hall.
As she disappeared into the sea of students, I nervously turned back to face the boys. They both looked the same as before, though Benny looked taller. Taking a deep, long breath, I began making my way towards the two, the nervous tingles in my stomach increasing as I neared. But as I stood behind Benny, I realised neither teen had noticed me, so I decided to have fun with my entrance, make it seem as though I wasn't as upset as I was. They didn't need my vampire mood-swings to worry about, and this was Whitechapel after all, they probably had enough to deal with as it is.
Leaning up, I covered Benny's eyes with my hands, immediately feeling him tense up as I did. With him being so tall, I had to tip-tow, even in my heels, just for my mouth to reach his ear "Guess who" I whispered, quickly leaning back afterwards.
"Emma?!" Ethan exclaimed with wide eyes. I smiled and removed my hands from Benny, moving forward to hug my twin.
"Hi big brother" I smiled, trying not to hug him too tight.
"Hi. How are you?" He asked worriedly, holding me at arms-length.
"I'm coping, but I'm good. How's things with you?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.
"Better now that you girls are back. Where's Maya?" He asked, narrowing his eyes as he realised my best friend was missing.
"She went looking for Rory" I shrugged. He nodded in understanding and I turned to face a wide-eyed Benny "Hi" I greeted.
He moved forward quickly, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I sighed in relief, tightening my arms around his waist "Told you I'd wait" I looked up and found him smirking down at me. He definitely hadn't changed.
"Only because I would've kicked your ass if you didn't" I shrugged, leaning back slightly.
"Really?" He asked, his eyebrows raised "Well I'll have you know I'm better at magic now, so it would be me kicking your ass"
"Some vampire on wizard action? I'd pay to see that fight" I admitted, smirking at the thought.
"Emma?" I nodded as a sign for him to continue "You haven't changed"
"Is that bad?" I asked, tilting my head in an innocent manner.
"It's good, definitely good" He muttered, leaning down.
I smiled as our lips connected, relief flooding through me as I remembered his memory-spell, preventing me from having visions with him. He slid his hands down to the back of my thighs, lifting me up so that he didn't have to lean down. It had been so long since our last kiss, and he was definitely making up for it. As his tongue slid into my mouth, I remember Ethan was also with us, and was probably feeling very awkward. So with a lot of restraint, I managed to pull back from Benny. But apparently he hadn't had enough. His right hand moved up to my hair, lightly gripping it and keeping me in place. He'd never been this rough before, but I wasn't complaining.
"Uh, guys?" Ethan asked hesitatingly. Benny reluctantly pulled back, licking his lips afterwards. I panted, trying to get the feeling back into my legs.
"Yeah?" I asked, turning my head to face Ethan. My voice came out slightly whispered, the after-effect of Benny's make out sessions.
"Nothing, just wanted to ask you to, in the nicest way possible, to cut it out" He shrugged, closing his locker door.
"Sorry Ethan" I giggled, moving back a bit from Benny.
"Benny!" We all looked back to see Erica rushing our way.
"Yeah?" He asked, his eyes narrowed in confusion.
"You're coming with me" Was all she said before grabbing his arm and vampire-speeding him away.
"Well, I guess we have class" I sighed, turning back to Ethan.
"Yup. But I have to ask, are you really okay with this vampire-thing?" He asked, crossing his arms while leaning against the lockers.
"Honestly? Not one little bit. I'm not okay with it, but I've accepted it. So for now I just wanna move on and get on with life, or what's left of it at least" I shrugged, sighing in thought. He nodded, a disappointed expression on his face.
"Well, you don't have to. I'm looking for a cure"
"Ethan" I groaned, shaking my head "There is no cure for vampires, if there was I'm sure someone would have found it by now. I've already accepted it bro, and I want you to as well. Promise me you'll try?" I begged.
"Okay, I'll try. But I don't have to like it" He pouted. I smiled and nodded, linking my arm through his "That's all I'm asking" He rolled his eyes and we headed to class.
I walked out of math class with Maya, sighing in relief that it was over "Thank god!" She exclaimed, throwing her head back.
"I know right?" I chuckled, crossing my arms as we headed down the hall.
"I think that teacher hates us" She said, her eyes narrowed in thought.
"Actually, I know she hates us" I shrugged. Maya nodded, rolling her eyes slightly.
"Anyway, on a more positive note. How's Benny?" She asked, a small smirk on her face.
"Why so curious? And what's with the smug look?" I asked, both worried and amused.
"You're kidding right?" She chuckled. I shook my head "Reunion make-outs are the best! And if you say he didn't kiss you I will tear him a new one" I smiled in amusement.
"No, he definitely gave me an unforgettable reunion kiss. My legs were like jelly when he stopped" I admitted, sighing at the memory.
"Wow"
"I know. But enough about me, how's Rory?" I asked, smirking knowingly.
"Rory's..." She pauses for a moment, shaking her head as she thought.
"What?" I asked, pausing for a moment. Maya stopped walking, turning to face me.
"He's amazing" She smiled, biting her lip.
"Then what was with the dramatic pause?" I asked, narrowing my eyes in confusion.
"Let's just say Rory's reunions are also unforgettable" She replied, fidgeting slightly. My eyes widened.
"You didn't?"
"Didn't what?" She asked, shaking her head. I tilted my head, my eyebrows raising "What?! Heck no. But we got pretty damn close" She admitted.
"Oh my god, how much did you do?" I asked, both of us walking again.
"Pretty far. The things that boy can do with those fangs" She sighed.
"You guys went that far in school?"
"Vacated broom-cupboard, two months apart, a lot of built-up hormones. Someone could've walked in and I wouldn't have cared" She shrugged. I chuckled and we turned the corner. Though the scene in front caused us both to stop.
"Uh, Ethan?" I asked, staring down at the two bodies.
"It wasn't me!" He exclaimed, backing away from the two guys on the floor. A gust of wind blew my hair back and I looked to see Sarah behind me.
"Wow, looks like I'm not the only one with anger issues" She remarked, noticing the same thing Maya and I had.
"I'll say" Maya chuckled, more impressed than worried. I rolled my eyes at her, sighing nervously.
