Chapter 3
Sarah's pov
I looked at our handiwork with a proud smile. Erica sighed, crossing her hands over her chest. "Can I leave now?"
"Erica, we're almost done."
"Yeah, well, we just spent two hours on this stupid cage. I could have spent that valuable time going on the hunt." She flashed her fangs at me, and I gave her a look. She laughed at me. "God, Sarah, learn to take a joke."
"Look, I just want this to work." I said, running the plan over in my head. Again.
Erica sighed, exasperated.
"Sarah, the plan is going to work. 1) because you're my friend and I know your plans work and 2) this plan is fool proof." Erica said, I smiled at her.
"Yeah, you're right. The plan is fool proof." I nodded, convinced.
Erica smirked, "Yes, one of the many reasons why I agreed to your brilliant plan."
I glared at her, knowing what she meant. I looked at the Eternity Cage and bit my lip, thinking over my plan. But in the end, I just sighed.
"Call Rory, I'll bring Ethan over." I instructed Erica.
"On it." She said, and her voice sounded a bit too happy for my liking.
Benny's pov
I watched as Rory played with my video game. He was getting better, but I could easy see where he was wide open. If he wasn't playing with the computer, he would have been totaled by me already. I lazily glanced over at Ethan's house where I saw his room light on. We weren't on 'speaking terms', per se. My total fault, but when you're in love with your best friend and jealous of your best friend's babysitter it was going to cause an obvious problem.
I heard Rory's phone go off and saw as he read it. He shot up to his feet in a hurry and turned to me.
"Hey, Benny, you want to go out for a late night flight?" He asked.
"What?" I asked, confused, before his words made sense. "No, not even in my dreams."
"Too late, we're going out." Rory said with determitation, and grabbed me from my waist.
"Rory! Rory, you put me down this instant or so help me- AHH!" Rory clamped a hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream as we hovered over the houses and trees. We were closed to the electricity lines. I glared at Rory and mumbled mean words he didn't understand.
"See, this is fun." Rory said, with a smile, as we headed to the edge of the forrest.
"Rory, I swear, if you don't put me down right now I"LL TURN YOU INTO A TOAD!" I screamed. Rory stared at me, but after a moment of silence, he dropped me to the ground. I hissed in pain, having landed on my arm.
"I'm sorry, Benny." Rory exclaimed and he picked me up roughly, which made the pain a lot worse.
"Damn it, Rory!" I screamed.
By now, Rory looked really guilty, but I also noticed that we were next to a cage.
"Wait, is that Ethan's-"
"Just get him in there!" I heard from the distance.
"Sarah, what are you doing?!" This voice sounded like Ethan.
"Ethan?" I called.
"Benny?" Came the far away response.
"Get him in the cage, dork!" Erica yelled, really loudly, I might add.
But I had no time to think or even see what happened next. Rory grabbed me, easily carried me into the cage and gently pushed me inside. His 'gentle' push still made me fall all the way inside. As I sat up, I saw Erica coming, carrying Ethan, with Sarah walking behind them, looking guilty.
Erica pushed Ethan inside, and he landed into me. I gasped. The force was a bit too much.
"Benny?" Ethan said, staring at me in disbelief.
The door was closed and locked and we stared at our kidnappers?
"Really? This is how you vampires decide to spend our friday night? Don't you all have things better to do?" I shouted, and pounded on one of the bars with my good arm. My other arm had a Rory-size hand bruise.
Sarah stepped forward and gave me an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. Look, you guys need to talk. Both of you." She gave Ethan a piercing stare and my heart began to beat really fast. She was crazy. I couldn't tell Ethan how I... and that was exactly what she wanted.
"Look, we have the key, it's fine." Sarah continued.
"Yeah, we won't lose it or anything." As Rory said this, he swung his arm around and the key (which he was holding because he locked the door) went flying into the woods somewhere.
We all stared at the tree-and-bush filled area in silence. No one spoke. I wanted to get to Rory and smack him upside the head. Erica got to him first. I still wanted to smack him.
"Dork! You just threw away the key!" Erica smacked him upside the head again.
"Hey, that hurts!" Rory cried.
"Like, I care." Erica rolled her eyes. "I am not going to crouch down and look for that damn key. I'm telling you now, Sarah. I'm not going to do it."
Sarah put her hand on her head at this.
"Fine, Rory, help me find the key." She turned back to Ethan and me. "This was not how I planned this, but this will give you more time to talk to each other." She said and smiled. "And no, we won't be breaking the cage apart to take you guys out. So. Talk." She motioned for both of us then all three of them left. I even got to see one glimpse of Erica smirking, and completely enjoying this.
I looked at Ethan, and swallowed.
I'm screwed. Well, on the best case scenario, I might not even have to talk and confess how I feel for him. So far, I wasn't feeling very confident about that.
I sighed and turned away. I sat down on the floor and tried not to think about where I was or who I was with. I just knew that inviting Rory over to my place was a bad idea. Stupid me. And stupid feelings, and stupid Sarah, butting herself in my business.
"Benny?" Ethan's soft voice broke through my thoughts and I looked at him. "We should...talk."
Damn, I'm reallly screwed now.
That was that.
Stay tuned for my next chapter of Backtrack. :)
