Title: From Dusk till Dawn

Pairing: Ethan/Benny

Summary: Vampire!Ethan. Sarah doesn't save Ethan in time when he gets bitten by Jesse and gets turned into a vampire. With Sarah, Erica and Rory gone, Ethan only has Benny to rely on to help him with the situation but he doesn't realise that Benny is also going through something or that there's a new danger coming. Bethan. Please Read and Review.

Authors Note: So this is kind of a re-write of the season one finale and instead of Sarah saving Ethan, she didn't exactly get all the venom out so now Ethan is a vampire. It's slightly au and it also involves Bethan. So don't like slash, don't read it. But I hope you enjoy it and if you do please review.

Chapter One

Benny sat on his bed, looking at his friend who was now sweating and even paler. He just wished that he would wake up soon, but Benny knew that once he woke up his friend wouldn't be the same again.

"What am I going to tell him grandma?" Benny asked quietly.

His grandma – who was looking through one of her spell books hoping to find a cure – looked at her grandson with pity. "I'm not sure Benny. But the one thing I do know is that you're going to have to be there for him."

Benny nodded. "Of course I'm going to be there for him, I always am. I just wish –" He trailed off, not wanting to say it.

His grandma understood. "I know Benny." She stood up and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. She looked at the boy lying on the bed, as still as a stone and as pale as a ghost. "Come on, I think the best thing for us right now is to get some sleep."

Benny shook his head. "No I'm going to stay here, just in case he wakes up during the night." His grandmother nodded and left the room.

Benny sighed, looked down at his friend and grabbed his hand. "Oh Ethan, I'm so sorry I wasn't there on time. Maybe if I had gotten there earlier, things would have ended up differently."

He closed his eyes and let the memories of the events that happened earlier that evening run through his mind.

Benny cursed himself and rushed out of the bathroom and around the corner only to find Ethan on the floor writhing in pain, Erica and Sarah staring at him in shock and Jesse standing beside his fallen friend blood dripping from his lips.

"Ethan." He cried out, standing in between the two girls. He desperately wanted to go over to help his friend but he knew that if he did he two of them would be on the floor in pain and that wouldn't help anybody.

"Now." Jesse began and Ethan teared his eyes away from his friend to look at the vampire with nothing but hatred in his eyes. "Either you become one of us." He threatened Sarah. "Or he does." Jesse said pointing at Ethan. "Your choice." He smirked and lifted his hands, the school doors flew open. "See you soon." He sped off.

"Ethan." Sarah cried and rushed over to the boy on the floor. She looked down at Ethan's face which was in pain. She looked at him thinking, before lifting his wrist. Realising what she was about to do, Ethan tried to stop her.

"No. Don't." Ethan tried to get out. Sarah looked down at him with an apologetic face. "I'm sorry." She told him and bit his wrist.

Unfortunately Sarah couldn't get all the venom out. Ethan had passed out by the time she had bitten him. Benny could remember the look on Sarah's face when she realised that she didn't save him. Benny and Erica tried telling her that it wasn't her fault, but she couldn't listen to them and rushed off. Erica took one look at Benny and then Ethan and followed her friend.

Benny ran his fingers through his hair. That had been a couple of hours ago, he hadn't heard from them since.

Ethan still hadn't move and Benny was beginning to worry. His grandmother had told him that it would be a while before Ethan would wake up and that even if he did he might not be the same Ethan. But Benny was taking the risk, he knew Ethan would up and he was going to stick by him no matter what.

He turned to look at the clock and saw that it read 2.00am. He hadn't realised that it was that late. He yawned slightly, his body telling him that it was time for him to rest. Maybe he should sleep, hopefully then in the morning Ethan would be awake.

He yawned again and laid down beside his friend. "I'm so sorry Ethan." He whispered before closing his eyes.

It was morning time, the sun was shining through Benny's window lighting up the whole room. Ethan groaned as he slowly came too. The room was slightly blurry and his head pounded like mad. He sat up straight before realising that there was somebody else in his bed – actually scratch that – that he was somebody else's bed. Benny's bed to be exact and the person that was lying beside was Benny.

He frowned that was strange. What was he doing in Benny's room? And how did he get there? He lifted his hand to scratch his head and saw bite marks on it. His eyes widened and suddenly everything from last night came rushing back to him. The school, the fight, Jesse biting him, Sarah saving him – Sarah.

He quickly shook Benny awake. "Benny, wake up." Benny groaned but didn't move. Ethan rolled his eyes. "Benny." He shouted whacking him on the head.

Benny shot up immediately. "I'm up." He said looking around frantically. "Owww." He said suddenly grabbing onto his head. "What the hell was that for?" He asked angrily before noticing that Ethan had woken up.

His eyes grew wide and he tumbled out of his bed. "Ethan." He breathed. "You're awake."

Ethan looked at his friend like he was crazy. "Yeah. I'm awake. What the hell happened last night?"

Benny continued to stare at him like he had just grown two heads. "How are you feeling?" He asked, ignoring Ethan's question.

Ethan looked at his friend in confusion. "I feel fine, just confused. Why are you ignoring my question?"

Benny froze for a moment not sure how to answer.

"Benny?" Ethan asked concerned. "What happened last night? You look you've seen a ghost."

"Not exactly a ghost." Benny replied, chuckling nervously.

Ethan frowned. "Benny, what do you mean by that?"

Benny bit his lip and rubbed the back of his neck, something he did when he was nervous or under pressure. "Okay don't freak out okay? But how much do you remember of last night?"

Ethan thought about it for a moment, wondering why Benny was acting so strange – stranger than usual that is. "Umm, I remember Jesse biting me and then Sarah sitting beside me and that's about it." He told his friend. "Benny what's going on?"

Benny took a deep breath, he knew was going to have to tell him sooner. "Okay don't freak out." He repeated. "You're a vampire." He closed his eyes and waited for the reply.

Ethan stared at his friend in shock before shouting. "WHAT?"

Authors Note: There's chapter one. I hoped everyone liked it. This has been my second MBAV story in two days and I've already thought of more. I don't think anyone's done a vampire!Ethan before – and if they have I haven't found the story yet. But this is my take and I hope you enjoyed it. If you please review and let me know if you want me to write more.
