Secret

Evelynn Weir woke up and got out of bed. She went to the kitchen and decided to make Benny donuts for breakfast since he would be sad because he wouldn't get to see his mum and dad for at least another two years. She plated the donuts up and was surprised that Benny wasn't downstairs as he was usually downstairs the minute he smelt the donuts in his room and the smell must have reached his room.

She walked upstairs to Benny's room and knocked on the door.

"Benny you decent?" She called through the door as even though she was his Grandma there were still things she shouldn't see.

When she got no answer she frowned and walked inside and got the shock of her life, Benny wasn't in bed, he wasn't at the desk – he wasn't in the room.

Evelynn saw a pile of letters and walked over to them still in a daze.

She picked up the first one in the pile which was addressed to her. She opened it, read it and then re-read it to make sure she'd read in right.

She the grabbed the other letters and ran to the Morgan home.

Ethan Morgan was awoken by voices downstairs and he really wasn't in the mood, He'd asked Sarah out last night and she'd told him that she was already going out with someone. He'd never been so embarrassed in his life and he'd hidden for the rest of the time she'd been there.

He rolled over and tried to ignore the voices until his mum hesitantly called upstairs, "Ethan, Jane would you come downstairs? Oh and Ethan call Sarah, Erica and Rory and tell them to come over."

Now Ethan was worried had something happened to Benny?

He climbed out of bed and pulled on some close while at the same time he texted Sarah, Erica and Rory.

When Ethan got downstairs Jane was already downstairs and Evelynn was there but Benny wasn't.

"What's going on is Benny ok?" He asked.

"I think we should wait till Sarah, Erica and Rory get here," His mum replied.

Ethan was about to say that he needed to know now when the doorbell rang and Jane went to answer it.

When she came back she was followed by Sarah, Rory and Erica.

"What's going on?"

"Where's the other geek?"

And, "I'm now a vampire sprinter!" Were said at the same time.

Everyone turned to Evelynn as she started speaking, "Well I guess it's about time you were all told, you know how Benny always says that his parents are away fighting in some war in Iraq?"

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Well that's not quite true his parents are fighting in a war but it's not in Iraq and not against other humans!" Everyone raised their eyebrows and she continued, "Their fighting in Romania against Vampires and Benny's gone to join them!"

There was silence until the kids all yelled, "Benny's what?"

Ethan turned to his mum and dad.

"Please let this be a joke!" he cried. "Please let this be Benny's way of getting back at me for not hanging out with him last night!"

"Ethan, honey it's not a joke look he wrote everyone letters." Evelynn replied.

"Letters?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, there's one for the Morgan family minus Ethan, one for Ethan and one for you three." Evelynn replied as she handed out Benny's letters.

Ethan took the letter and began to read.

'Dear Ethan,

We have been friends for basically our whole lives and I can't imagine life without you by my side. I know we promised back when we were six never to keep secrets but there is one thing I have never been able to tell you, I love you no I'm in love with you, your smile, your brown eyes, your puppy dog faces – everything about you. I feel like you're the reason the sun rises on my world and when you go away it sets.'

Benny's in love with me! He thought as he paused to take in what he'd read so far. He then continued reading.

'I can't bear to see you with someone else so I'm leaving for Romania but don't worry I give you and Sarah my full blessing in fact I give you my full blessing to date or marry any one you want but please always remember me fondly and if I die, come to my funeral. Don't ever forget me.

I LOVE YOU!

Benny'

That's it Ethan thought he tells me he loves me and then he leaves!

"Will Benny ever come back?" Jane asked.

"Well…" Evelynn trailed off.

"Well what?" Erica prompted.

"Well Benny's parents are still alive but a lot of people do die in these types of wars so he may not come back!" Evelynn sighed

Sarah blinked, "But Benny's better at magic now so he should be okay, right?"

"Yes he is better at magic but what you have to understand is most people who go to fight have been training since they were little kids and are in their late teens e.g. 18, 19 or their early twenties." Evelynn replied.

"But since Benny's younger can't you or his parents just say he isn't allowed to go?" Rory asked.

"In the normal world yes but in the magical world a child comes of age at 15 and is legally allowed to do whatever they want as long as long as they don't break any laws magical or otherwise." Evelynn replied.

"Can't you just use your magic to stop him?" Mrs Morgan asked.

"No, there is nothing my magic can do I can't make him come back, I can't make him stay here. Benny is allowed to make his own decisions." Evelynn replied.

"But why does he actually want to leave?" Mr Morgan.

"Yeah all he says is 'I am leaving because I can't bear to see Ethan with anyone' but why can't he bear to see Ethan with anyone else?" Rory asked.

Everyone else raised their eyebrows and turned to Evelynn who said, "It's Ethan's decision if he wants to tell you or not."

Everyone turned to Ethan expectantly and he sighed, "Benny's in love with me. In the letter he writes, 'I love you no I'm in love with you, your smile, your brown eyes, your puppy dog faces – everything about you. I feel like you're the reason the sun rises on my world and when you go away it sets'."

He then turned to Evelynn, "There must be a way to get Benny back home. I need him here – I need to tell him…"

When he didn't continue Erica said, "Need to tell him what?"

"That I love him as well!" Ethan mumbled, looking at the floor.
