"And then she put Erica in a coma..." Ethan finished explaining, my mind was puzzled as I started to take the information in.

"So, there's this psycho vampire, who knocked-out Erica, then threatened Rory, then put Rory in a trance, almost killed Sarah, and is after yours and Benny's powers to take over the world?" I asked Ethan as he nodded sadly, basically I just summarised everything he said. Wow, vampires are super-weird these days.

"Well, at least she's hot." Benny remarked which made me growl a little, they all gave me suspicious looks, well, except for Erica of course.

"Uhh, just clearing my throat."

They all lost interest and put there thinking faces on, but I knew there was more to this. Why the heck would they look this upset over a vampire? Who is supposedly hot by Benny's opinion. Sarah looked like she could never be happy again, Erica looked like she could never wake up again, and, well, Rory looked like he had just been raped or something.

"So, how do we stop her?" I asked, breaking the silence that filled the room. Sarah and Rory hadn't said a thing since I got here, and Rory always had to say something whenever I was around, it was our little-thing we had together since we were like, 8. Right now, he was speechless. Rory was never speechless.

"I haven't exactly figured that out yet..." Ethan replied, very awkwardly. I'm so confused, why can't they just tell me what's really going on?

"Okay guys, what's really going on? This is not normal."

They were silent for a moment, looking at each other nervously. Benny looked at me with a guilty face.

"You see, uh... well..." He said, shrugging. He looked adorable. But I was too getting pissed off to care.

"You know what, forget it." I hissed as I pushed past Benny and ran down the stairs, I tripped at the bottom, but caught my balance. Just as I could open the door, someone grabbed my arm, I turned my face to see Benny looking as guilty as ever.

"Anna, don't go, we need you."

Tears were forming in my eyes, first some really bad shit was happening at home with my parents, okay, I may have not mentioned that. And now, my friends are lying to me when something really big is happening. What an awesome day.

"Need me? You can't even tell me what's going on." A tear streamed down my cheek, while I tried to break my arm free.

"Why are you crying?" He pulled me closer, we looked into each others eyes, then I had looked down to the floor.

"M-My," I tried getting the words out as I stuttered, "my parents are getting a divorce."

Yeah, that was the thing I hadn't mentioned. I wanted to forget about it so I wouldn't get upset. But the way they all acted, it made me so sad. I couldn't take it, having my parents split was bad enough.

He grabbed my other hand with his free arm and pulled me into a hug, holding me tight.

"I am so sorry." He whispered into my ear, while stroking my hair. I sobbed into his shoulder, just managing to get some words out.

"Its alright, you didn't know."

We held each other for quite a while until I heard footsteps coming from the stairs, I looked up to see Ethan with wide-eyes. "Woah, w-what happened here?"

Me and Benny jolted from each other, "Uh, nothing, I was... just leaving." I said awkwardly, slowly letting go of Benny's hand as I wiped my blood-shot eyes. I left the house as I made my way home.

Instead of going straight home, I decided to go to the local park, to sit and unwind.

So many thoughts filled my head, I was just so annoyed at everything. I'm surprised I haven't screamed at the grass yet or something.

As I plopped myself onto one of the swings, I pulled out my phone to check my texts.

'One new text message from My Benny-Rabbit 3'

Yeah, I know, I'm such a freak for naming him that on my cell.

'Anna, plz come back 2 Ethan's, or at least tell me where u are. I wanna help u :('

It was sweet how he wanted to help me, but I'd rather just be left alone. Wow, first time I've ever passed up an opportunity to hang out with Benny.

'I don't wanna come. I'd rather be on my own. Thank you for the concern, Ben-solo :*'

Yeah, I named him after that star-wars guy. I have never actually seen the film but I know so much about it. Like Darth Vader's line 'Luke, I am your father', and the light-sabers, omg, oh how I love lightsabers. Rory used to have one when we were all about 9, but, that day did not end too well after I had one-too-many sips of Coca-Cola.

To summarise, I put his lightsaber in the oven...

It did not end too well.

Any who, my phone buzzed as another text from Benny popped up.

'Kay, but I still wanna see you my Princess-Anna-Leia :*'

I smiled, the feelings I have for this guy was just too much.

'Maybe later ;)'

I shoved my phone back into my pocket. Sighing, I pushed my feet along the ground, allowing myself to swing in the air. After a few minutes of swinging, I stopped. I could hear someone talking, someone... oddly familiar...

I walked towards the side of an old factory, right next to the park. Peeking behind the side of the wall, I saw a pale-white girl with long, straight black hair pulled back into a pony-tail.

"So, when shall I take the spellmaster and seer? I have a busy schedule you know." The black-haired girl asked, oh hell no. She better not be after my Benny-doodle.

"Don't give me attitude, have you forgotten? You're working for me."

The other girl said, her voice became more and more familiar each time she spoke.

"Sorry, master."

The other, familiar-sounding girl walked into view, with a dark-blue cloak coating her fully.

"When do I go after them?" The black-haired girl began talking again.

The cloaked-girl lifted her hood and turned, revealing her face in front of my widened eyes.

"We must go after Anastasia, first."

Oh my gosh.

Tasha.
