Disclaimer:I obviously don't own MBAV if I did everyone would basically be dating everyone(Main Characters&Jesse) and we actually know what happened after the explosion.
A/N: Ellie= Female Ethan and as for the Ethara shippers Ellie is bi curious and so is Sarah. You don't like that then I believe you shouldn't be reading my fanfic.
The trio were on their own. Grandma Weir was down for the count thanks to the spell Vice Principal Stern had casted. Due to that spell Ellie's fear was consuming her. She couldn't even look at the faces of her two best friends. The spell had incapacitated her earlier, making her see her loved ones dead and now she was in a fetal position on the couch. She ignored Benny who was trying to get her to do something, while Sarah was somewhere else in the house. Fear. It was controlling her, she didn't know what to do. She normally did, but not now. Not when it really was life or death.
"Ellie, we need your help. If we can't stop Stern who knows what's going to happen to us." Sarah said returning to her side. She hadn't even noticed she returned. That caught her attention. She couldn't let anything happen to her friends. Never.
"Okay." Ellie said taking deep breaths. "I can't let anything happen to you guys. Your grandma said that I had to find something stronger than fear. I think I did. Here." Ellie continued taking deep breaths and took her friends hands, her... dead friend's hands... shaking her head slightly, she ignored the comments that the two were making as she released the fear that had her mind in its clutches. She watched as the spell lifted and she saw her friends as they normally were, well as normal as they got. A sigh of relief washed through her.
"I'm okay, as long as I don't let the fear through. We can do this." Ellie said finally taking a stand.
"We're on our own against Stern." Benny said. They all glanced at Grandma Weir who was motionless on the couch. Then an idea. Something she knew that both Sarah and Benny were going to hate, but she had to try something.
"Well I guess someone's banishment can't be enforced." Ellie pulls out her phone and texts a number, positive that the person would show up. She couldn't tell them, not right away but he was their last chance if they wanted to beat Vice Principal Stern. As they waited, Benny looked around for something to do, something that would take his mind off of his Grandmother who was still motionless on the couch. Sarah, had moved her so she was a little more comfortable, but was now pacing the room. Ellie was getting nervous. Time was running out. Ellie walked around the house, taking in the things that made it unique. She had come to know this house since she was six, when she became friends with Benny, and come to see it as her own. Now, if they don't win, no one would be around to enjoy it.
Ellie stared off into space trying to think of a any chance of them actually surviving, that was until her phone went off. Sighing, she checked her phone and realized it was who they were all waiting for. She went to the door to let Jesse in. She knew that her friends would be upset but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
"Guys, don't freak out. I thought it over and this is our best shot, okay?" Ellie motioned for their new guest to come in. Jesse came into living room where a not so welcoming Sarah and Benny greeted him. Ellie had expected this response, but they were running out of time. "Guys, I-"
"You two are obviously aren't very happy to see me, I can tell." Jesse interrupted her.
"You bit my best friend!" Benny pointed out.
"And you made me suck out the venom when you knew what it would do!" Sarah said angrily.
"And I'd love to be sorry about that, but you all know I've done much, much worse." Jesse responded.
"Later." Ellie told them all. She turned to Jesse. "The man who has the Lucifractor is related to the wizard you took down two-hundred years ago."
"Sinistral family revenge. What a shock!" Jesse said sarcastically.
"How did you stop his super great-grandfather?" Benny asked.
"He loved power. He loved to show it off. I let him wipe out most of my flock with the Lucifractor while I snuck up behind him and drained him dry." Jesse explained. With a pointed look he added to Sarah. "I told you I've done worse." She hissed in response. Deciding to break the tension between the two vampires Ellie asked an important question.
"Where would we even look for Stern?"
"He's most likely at the Vampire Council building its dead center of Whitechapel. If he sets of that thing it will cover the entire town with the Lucifractor's power," Benny said looking up from one of his spell books with wide eyes," We need to go now." With those words they left to the Vampire Council's building.
Benny was still practicing his spells as he they walked into the building. Once inside they saw that Stern had already been there, and left ashes in wake.
"Where would Stern go?" Ellie thought out loud.
"The Caller. We use it to communicate with other covens. That's how he can broadcast the Lucifractor field around the entire town." Jesse told the girl who stared at him with shock.
They entered the room that they knew Stern would be walking over the ashes of vampires that had tried to stop Stern.
"Ellie so happy you could make it." Stern said.
"Well, I got bored looking at dead people."she snapped even though the entire situation was scaring more than anything she had ever faced but she refused to let fear rule her.
"I could think of one I'd like to see." Sarah said to Ellie who nodded her head in agreement.
"Benny." Stern said with a snap of his fingers, ignoring the comment Sarah made. Benny slowly walked towards Stern. "Benny and I had a little conversation when I caught him in the office. Well, a one sided conversation really. Take care of your friends for me. There's a good boy." The last part was told to Benny before he continued on into the building.
"Benny?" Ellie nervously said. Her best friend turned around with a wide grin on his face and attacked them with his powers. The rest of the group ducked just in time.
"We have to take Benny out, he's an acceptable loss." Jesse told them.
"No he's not." Ellie laughed pulling out her phone with a lopsided smile.
"What's so funny?" Sarah asked, a with a mixture of confusion and curiosity in her voice. Ellie held her phone up, an open email that revealed Benny reciting a spell. The real Benny froze, then was knocked out by the spell. "What is that thing?" Sarah asked.
"After that time the magic camera turned Benny into evil Benny he sent me an email marked, in case of evil Benny open this. I never thought I'd get the chance to use it." Ellie explained pocketing the phone. She checked on her friend who was still knocked out. Not knowing what to do with him they left him there and came up with a plan. They decided to split up, Jesse and Sarah together while Ellie would be better by herself.
Jesse and Sarah found Vice Principal Stern in the Caller, right where they knew he would be.
"You know, only some people can pull off a cape, you're not one of them." Sarah said, drawing attention to them.
"Huh, now I see the resemblance spitting image of old Gaelon Sinistral, but with a head." Jesse mocked.
"What do you know about him?" Stern asked, his attention fully on the pair in front of him.
"I remember how his blood tasted, even after two hundred years." Jesse snarled.
"Wow, I'm really going to enjoy this." Stern told them raising the Lucifractor and using it's power on them. He was distracted long enough for Ellie to sneak up behind him, an idea she had gotten from Jesse. Trying to force herself to ignore Sarah and Jesse, who were visibly in pain from the Lucifractor, she grabbed Stern's arm and entered his mind.
"What is this?" Stern asked looking around.
"I'm in your mind." Ellie silently congratulated herself on being able to do so at will.
"You're stronger than I thought. You're still not as strong as I am."
"You're not strong the Lucifractor is and you're afraid of using it. Just like you tried making me afraid. I can feel it." Ellie was trying to make him lose concentration, and she could tell it was working.
"I'm not afraid of anything. In two centuries no one had enough power to do what I'm about to do." Stern bragged.
"You're not doing anything, the powers in that you're nothing-"
"STOP SAYING THAT!" Stern interrupted Ellie. "I can draw all the energy I need from this and then the power will be in me and then I can get rid of this little ball."
"You can't handle it. You're afraid." Ellie repeated with a smirk.
"STOP IT, ENOUGH!" Stern breaks contact with Ellie, as well as Jesse and Sarah, and all three hit the ground. He starts to draw the power from the Lucifractor into himself. "I can feel the power, the deepest darkest. You're such a fool, you'll never stop me now." Ellie got up and ran to Sarah and Jesse.
"Guys," Ethan whispered trying to help both of them up. "Get up." Sarah got to her feet and shortly afterward Jesse got up as well.
"I CAN FEEL THE POWER!" Stern yells.
"What I miss?" Benny asks finally up and with them.
"You'll be just in time for the end if we don't leave now. GO! RUN! NOW!" Ellie emphasized each word. She, Sarah and Jesse turned to run, but Benny was frozen in his spot. For some reason he envied the power that the Lucifractor gave off, and for a moment he wanted it. Ellie turned to see that her friend wasn't behind her, and returned to drag him off. "BENNYCOME ON! LET'S GO!"
