Hey y'all! It's Bethan Forever here, I'm here to give you all the second chapter of "The Other Side" I'm keeping this author's note short and simple. I know a lot of you have a lot of faith in me, even TEM. So I hope that I let none of you guys and TEM down. Before anyone asks. Bethan will come soon in the later chapters, this story is staying 'T'. (just in case anyone asks) and lots of drama. Fighting and stuff. And Ethan's parents are still alive.. Jesse's just training him as his perfect weapon.

I'll be writing out chapters probably faster now that my other stories are almost over. And since I'm not going anywhere. That means this story should be updated a lot. I'm also using a different writing style for this story. I'm used to it. Just never tried it out on here. This chapter's mostly about Ethan and stuff.

And I should really stop talking now, okay. - I need to shut up. I know you all came here for the next chapter. So... Enjoy.


Ethan walked alongside Arthur as they entered Jesse's mansion. Jesse pretty much only opened his home to vampires, but ever since this upcoming battle Jesse had opened his home to other supernatural beings as well. Jesse has been training Ethan more and more ever since. He wanted him to be perfect and flawless for the battle.

"Ethan," Arthur said, tugging on his arm. Ethan rolled his eyes and followed behind his friend to Jesse's training room. Like he needed Arthur to lead him everywhere. But he didn't want to start a fight with Arthur. They were friends but Jesse hated him already.

Jesse turned around when he heard Ethan and Arthur walking into the training room, he smiled but the happiness quickly disappeared from his face when he saw Arthur with him.

"Ethan, Arthur."

Not now, Ethan thought as small glares were sent right towards Arthur from Jesse, who smirked. What do you think happens when vampires and werewolves mix? Arthur was a werewolf, a vampires' natural born enemy. Jesse thought it was a good idea, but Ethan thought it was stupid werewolves and vampires were meant to hate each other. He just wanted to say it was wrong, but kept his mouth shut he learned it a long time ago to separate them.

"Nice to see you too, Jesse," he replied harshly, the vampire kept giving him harsh glares, letting his vampire feelings of anger towards the werewolf get in his way.

"I came here to train and not watch a werewolf-vampire fight," Ethan said, getting in between them.

Both of them snapped out of their vampire-werewolf feelings to kill each other, knowing Ethan was right, they were there for training. Training against Anastasia and her side. "See you after training, Arthur."

Ethan watched his werewolf friend walk out of the room, leaving him and Jesse alone to train.


Ethan groaned as he was dropped onto the ground. For some reason he had been sucking at today's training. That vision was fresh on his mind, but why should he be worried? Jesse had him and many werewolves on his side. They could totally take out Anastasia's side. It was just something else about the vision... that was wrapped around his brain.

"You aren't focusing as much. Something on your mind?" Jesse said looking over Ethan, who in return scoffed, but took Jesse's hand which he had held out for him to grab and helped him off of the ground by his trainer.

"There's nothing on my mind," he told him. He threw his fist at Jesse, who caught it. This never really happens a lot. Ethan was always fast minded.

"There is something on your mind. You always get to punch me without me catching your fist."

Ethan sighed, "I was just thinking about something.. I didn't think it would get in the way of my training."

"Does it have something do to with work? School? Or with your parents?" Jesse asked.

"Just something I saw... that's never going to happen," Ethan answered, with a shrug. He was not really looking at the elder vampire.

Jesse frowned. Why didn't he feel like telling him? After all Ethan could trust him with anything. And Jesse never told anyone else. That's just how he was.. Maybe he told others sometimes. But when it came to Ethan he never told anyone because that's just how much Ethan meant to him. If you know what he means.

"You can trust me with anything, Ethan. I won't tell a soul.. well non-souls, since everyone I know are vampires." Jesse laughed, as Ethan rolled his eyes again.

"Werewolves have souls," Ethan reminded looking over at the elder vampire, as Jesse smirked lightly with a chuckle.

"You forgot that I don't trust dogs, Ethan," he said truthfully.

Ethan just nodded, and went back to his training, with the vision still fresh on his mind.


Ethan opened the door to his house, moving his shoulders around. After training, his body was always a bit sore but he was used to it by now.

"I'm home!" he yelled, hearing his mother moving around in the kitchen probably cooking dinner for him, his dad and Jane.

Ethan walked towards the kitchen where he found his mom, Samantha working away in the kitchen.. and he wondered why she was working harder in the kitchen. She liked to cook, but it was that his mom just wasn't the best cook out there.

"Hey honey, how was training with Jesse?" Samantha asked, as soon as Ethan appeared in the door way. Ethan shrugged.

"It was fine. Mom," he answered simply. His parents had always about this. In fact, they were allies with Jesse. Most people knew their family, the Morgans was on Jesse's side - well except for his sister. Most people did, anyway. Benny and Rory didn't know that or else they would've been suspicious about him a long time ago. But it was a good thing they didn't know a thing about him. How else was he supposed to spy on them?

Jane acted weird about the whole battle thing since Ethan wanted her to be trained along with him. But she just wasn't acting right, whenever the battle came up or Jesse she always sneers or frowns, or throws in a nasty comment about how stupid Jesse was. She hated Jesse, and sometimes, Ethan suspected she didn't support his but Anastasia's. She was the different one in the family.

"It sounds like you have something on your mind," Samantha said.

And of course, there it was again. What was with people today? Why were they able to read him like a book? Or did he put off an aura today?

"There's nothing on my mind!" Ethan exclaimed, making his mom turn to him. "Sorry, I'm just tired, okay?"

"Okay." Samantha said.

"Okay." Ethan repeated, the "okay"s went back and forth before they busted out laughing at each other.

"That's enough. Go wash up. Dinner's almost ready and your father's gonna be home soon," she told him sending Ethan upstairs.

"How did training go with stupid-face?" Jane asked, appearing in the doorway of the bathroom where Ethan was washing his hands. She always called Jesse names to piss Ethan off.

"You mean Jesse." Ethan said slightly annoyed.

Jane shrugged. "Like I care what his name is."

He sighed. "You'll care. He's going to be training you soon."

"I'd rather be trained by a monkey than Jesse Black," she smarted off, crossing her arms. Ethan made sure he was close to her so she could feel scared before squatting down so his head was at the same level as hers.

"Jane, if you like it or not, Jesse is going to train you, just like he's done with others before! He's not a bad guy." Ethan said, reaching to touch her. But she jerked away.

"I wish you could see what he really is. You, mom and dad," she yelled, and with that she stormed off.

Well, that was something. He thought, listening as his sister slammed her bedroom door.


Dinner was filled with awkward silence, the only thing that could be heard were the sounds of forks clinking onto the plates. Samantha and Ross gave their children looks as they ate. Wondering what their son and daughter had been fighting about this time.

"So," Ross began looking over at his son and daughter. "How was your day?" he finished.

Jane played with her fork, giving a small shrug. "It was okay."

"Mine was good. I worked and trained with Jesse today," Ethan replied casually, taking another bite out of his food as Jane rolled her eyes at hearing Jesse's name.

"Really? What did good old Jesse teach you this time?" Ross asked.

"He was just making sure I had everything down and ready before the battle."

Samantha smiled at her son. "He's more powerful than we were, Ross, remember? When we were your age we couldn't do half of the things you can do."

"I know," he said.

Then it was back to silence. It was normal... well sort of sometimes.

After dinner, Samantha and Ross put Jane to bed, telling her goodnight and that they loved her, Ethan just told his parents the same thing before heading off to the bathroom for a very much needed shower. He needed to wash everything from the day's events.

Ethan walked back into his bedroom since he already changed into his sleep clothes, he noticed the one light on in the house next door. Benny's room, of course. He walked over to his closed window, and well, watched.

He must've fallen asleep.. Ethan thought as he watched the room closely, seeing nothing. Nobody was moving around, nothing. Then Benny walked into the room, and Ethan's eyes widened before he closed his curtain. All he needed was for Benny to catch him watching him... walking around shirtless.

He felt hate and joy. That he actually liked seeing Benny walking around shirtless but he hated that he felt that because they were enemies.

He shook his head, and crawled into his bed, Ethan turned off his lights, and curled into his sheets. Tomorrow he had to start acting like he was just a normal teenager to pretend that he was Benny and Rory's friend, secretly starting to like them, being forced to be their friend just to find out their secrets. It was after all a part of Jesse's plan.


I'm done! *wipes forehead* I feel great. This is Ethan's side of the story we saw Benny and Rory's and now Ethan's side, and I threw in a little Bethan hint, just for you guys. I have nothing else but, just hoped that you guys enjoyed it and wait for TEM to write one of her awesome chapters for this story.

Until the next time.
