I'm back! So I figured that you guys liked The Phoenix and its Lover so much that I would indeed make a sequel! I hope you enjoy! Now lets get started with, A New Beginning. Also I do not own MBAV!
Ethan stare out the car window as Grandma Weir and Benny packed it up and put stuff in the moving truck parked out front. There in clear view was his house, the charred ruins beckoning to Ethan.
"Hey sweetie, you okay? You look kinda distant." Benny said, getting Ethan's attention.
"Uh yea, I am fine. I have a question baby. Would you mind going over with me to go through my house one more time?" Ethan said, still looking at the charred remains that once use to be where he lived.
"Are you sure that is a good idea, I don't want a repeat of what happen a few weeks ago! I can't lose you again E!" Benny said worriedly.
"Yea I will be fine, I just...just need to say goodbye." Ethan said, already getting out of the car and walking across the grass to the black remains of his home, Benny following shortly behind.
As Ethan reached the front porch, he began walking up the steps. A eerie creek with every step he took, and to him it seemed he could hear the screams again from that night echoing in his mind. Slowly he reached the door, and closed his eyes and took a breath before twisting the knob. Letting out a loud groan the door slowly swung open and hit the wall. Sun light had streamed in through the gaping holes in the walls and ceilings. Making plenty of light for Ethan to see and go by, slowly he walked into the kitchen where his mother would cook breakfast as his father would read the newspaper and Jane would play with her barbies. Now all that was left was burn tile and kitchen counters. A broken chair lay on the floor, untouched since that night. Making his way from the kitchen Ethan went into the living room. Where he and Benny use to stay up all night and play video games. But it wasn't sightseeing that Ethan wanted to do, there was something here he wanted. Making his way to the stairwell Ethan began to ascend the stairs one step at a time, each letting out a loud groan from the weakened floor. He could swear he could hear his mother's sweet voice singing to him. Slowly turning into the hallway he made his way to his old room, where the door remained sealed since that fateful night.
"Benny I need you to use a spell to unlock the door." Ethan said, focus clearly on getting the door open no matter what.
Benny stepped aside and pointed at the doorknob.
"Hollerith Levi Nos" Benny said, a bright flash shooting out of his fingertips and to the doorknob which suddenly made a unlatching sound from within.
Ethan stepped aside Benny and grabbed the doorknob gently, before opening it to see his room. The only room to make it through the fire almost completely untouched. Ethan walked across his room and sat down on his old bed where he laid back down and stared at the ceiling before him. Benny joined him in laying down.
"Remember how we use to spend the night over here all the time the night before school, when I would have a bad dream you would let me crawl in bed with you and sleep." Benny said, a slight smile on his lips.
Ethan gently smiled at the memory before getting up and getting on the ground, reaching under the bed. But to his surprise he felt nothing.
"Oh no!" Ethan shouted.
"What is it baby!" Benny shouted back clearly worried at his boyfriends sudden reaction.
"My mothers music box, it is gone. The one she would sing along with to get me to sleep as a child, I always had it hidden under my bed. Someone must have taken it...but who?" Ethan said, tears tugging at his eyes as he remembered his mom sitting on the edge of his very bed singing to him till he fell asleep.
"Oh Hun I am so sorry! I know how much that meant to you!" Benny said, rubbing Ethan's back.
Ethan got up and slowly the both of them left the house, not before Ethan took a notebook of his he had called his diary for the past year and a half. It explained how much he felt towards Benny before the accident. Benny took Ethan's hand as they both slowly closed the front door together and headed to the car. And as the car was fully packed and began to drive off slowly, Ethan turned his head to look at the image of his and Benny's houses. Slowly getting smaller and smaller in the distance till finally he could no longer see them again.
"Goodbye mom, dad, Jane." Ethan said softly, before feeling Benny take his hand in his bringing him close to where he nestled his head onto Benny's shoulder, within a few minutes Ethan was asleep.
I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! Leave reviews!
