Well, it's been a year since I published "After the Lucifractor" and I lied about not having a sequel. I do. I re-watched MBAV on Netflix (whoo!) and got this idea. WHOO! Okay, now you should probably get to reading the story.

Sarah pulled a piece of wood off the fence and threw it to Ethan, who turned and stabbed an oncoming vampire. Benny and Rory pointed their holy water-filled water guns at two others. And Erica killed another with a stake Sarah had previously given to her before the fight broke out.

The five teens had been walking home after school let out, when a group of vampires, not much bigger than the five of them, were looking for a bite. Trouble started brewing at this encounter, and ended in a horrible fight. Four of these vampires had already been killed, leaving five with the exception of Sarah, Erica, and Rory.

Ethan was left on his own to deal with a vampire while his friends were a bit further away. Since Ethan wasn't able to get close enough to stake the vampire and he didn't have any holy water-filled balloons or guns on him, the vampire kept moving around.

"I bet you'll be able to catch me as easily as you're able to catch a date, huh?" the vampire boy teased him.

"For your information, I could ask a girl out if I wanted to," Ethan said back. "You're just making fun of me because you can't get one yourself."

The vampire lunged at Ethan, both of them wrestling on the ground. The vampire hissed and nicked Ethan's neck, leaving two bleeding fang marks above his collarbone. Ethan exclaimed in pain, signalling Benny to throw a holy water-filled balloon at the vampire, reducing him to ash on the ground surrounding Ethan. Benny held out a hand and pulled Ethan off the ground.

"You okay, E?"

"Yeah," Ethan responded. He rubbed a hand over the spot where the vampire bit him and pulled his shirt collar over to hide it.

"That guy didn't bite you, right?" Benny joked. "Heh, that'd be pretty funny." Sarah hit him in the stomach at that remark. "Ow!"

Ethan held up his left arm. "No, he just scratched me." He showed Benny where the vampire had dug his nails into Ethan's arm through his jacket.

"You need a band-aid or do you think you can handle that 'injury' yourself?" Erica laughed. Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Hey, guys, I have to go now; my mom wants me to try these weird recipes she found on the Internet," Rory said. "And they're vegetarian!" His friends looked at him like he was crazy. "That means no animals involved! Completely different from my crunchy critter snacks!" Rory was out of there in a flash.

"Well, I'm gonna go out for a bite," Erica said. "Come on, Sarah."

"I'll make sure she doesn't turn anyone or eat the whole football team." Sarah ran after her friend.

"I gotta go help Grandma so if you're actually a vampire, it wasn't my fault." Benny backed away, turned, and left Ethan on his own.

Ethan walked in the other direction, towards his house when he rubbed his hand on his neck. It felt like it was burning, even though Benny had only gotten some holy water from the balloon on it when he threw it at the vampire.

When Ethan got home, he called out for his parents and Jane, only to find a note on the fridge door.

"'Dear Ethan, Jane is staying at a friend's tonight and your father and I will be home late - there's leftover pizza in the fridge if you get hungry - DON'T HAVE ANY PARTIES and Benny is welcome to stay the night as long as you don't break anything. Love, Mom.'" Ethan read aloud to himself. "Guess my plans are cancelled." He said sarcastically and laughed.

Ethan grabbed his backpack that he had thrown near the front door previously and threw it in his bedroom when he got upstairs. He took off the jean jacket he was wearing and flung it at his bed and went to the bathroom.

Ethan locked the door, even though no one would have interrupted him. He pulled the collar of his shirt down to examine his neck and where the vampire bit him. Ethan looked into the mirror and at his neck. The mark was still there, but his reflection was fading and reappearing as he was looking at himself. He tore his glance from the mirror, blinked a few times, then looked back. His reflection was still in between being on the mirror and not there at all. He looked away and back one last time.

Ethan saw fangs come out of teeth towards the front of his mouth, like he had seen whenever Sarah, Erica, or Rory flashed their fangs.

"Holy..." he trailed off, but didn't finish his thought.

Ethan screamed.
