Disclaimer: I don't own My Babysitter's a Vampire. I wish that I did! If it was mine, Season 2 would be out by now! :D
I decided that I was going to continue my walk alone. I kept going on the path that Benny, Ethan, and I had been walking along. The sound of birds chirping and trees' leaves swaying in the wind made me feel at peace. It was almost enough to make me forget the happenings of last night. Almost. I focused on the sound of my feet against pavement. With each step, I felt more and more relaxed. After ten steps, I was completely at ease. Key word being was.
I felt something tap my shoulder. Actually it wasn't something, more like someone. I shivered. I didn't want last night to happen again. Never again. I slowly turned around, my muscles tensing. I tried to remember those self defense lessons I'd had even though if it was a vampire I doubted that they would do me any good. I exhaled in relief. It was only Rory.
"Good god Rory! You scared the crap out of me!" I screamed, wondering whether or not I should slap the blonde.
"Why? Did my hotness stun you?" he boasted.
"No….I...uh...I thought you were someone else." I sawa look of hurt in his eyes but it was gone in a flash. "Who? Benny? Ethan?" he asked.
I wondered why he was so interested to know. Then I realized what I had just said. I gave Rory, Rory of all people, a bit of information of what had got me so worried.
"No one," I quickly replied. "Just someone who probably wanted to call me a name or something." Wow lying was not my game. Rory didn't seem to notice. He just started to ramble on in the typical Rory fashion.
"So, you never did give me an answer on that super hero question I asked you yesterday," he said. Rory was obviously eager to know what I was going to say. "Fine. I choose neither. Thor is just a muscular guy with a mallet and Bumble Bee is just a car with missiles. If you want to talk about real super heroes, Kid Flash and Aqualad from the Teen Titans are the ones to talk about. There, question answered," I stated. Rory's jaw dropped.
I started to walk again. I completely forgot about my friend until I looked to my left and I saw Rory's speechless face. Well, he was speechless for about a minute. "But Bumble Bee is much more than a car with missiles, he's got…" he started to say. I just waved him off. "Good-bye Rory," I said and I kept on walking, leaving the startled geek behind.
It was starting to get a little chilly out, so I stuck my hands in my pockets. I smiled. I hadn't even realized that I had my iPod with me. I put my headphones in my ears and played one of my favorite songs; "We Could Happen" by AJ Rafael. I sang along, letting the music fill me up without completely cutting myself off from the real world.
"Storms, they will come! But I know that the sun will shine again. He's my friend and he says that we belong together!" I sang my heart out on that song. Music flowed through my veins, entering into my soul in mere seconds! Without music, my life would never be the same.
I was peacefully singing as I walked, until I heard it, a noise which was so loud I could still hear it through my head phones. A screech filled the air around me. It came from the forest a few yards ahead of me. Pulling my earphones out, I ran towards the sound. No, I sprinted towards the sound. Someone could be in danger and I didn't want that someone to end up like me.
I reached the forest in an amazing time, probably my personal best. I scrambled through some bushes and dodged a few trees. My blonde hair got caught on a few branches, but they didn't hurt me. Now I had one purpose and nothing was stopping me from completing it, especially not some pathetic branches. I came to a large opening in the forest, a clearing of sorts. I quickly ducked behind an enormous bush, unable to be seen.
I saw Ethan, Benny, and Sarah, along with three other guys I didn't know. Ethan carried what looked like a water gun, Benny had his shoulder bag and a book in his hand and Sarah held something that looked vaguely similar to….. wooden stakes?
Benny acted first. He glanced at the book he was holding. I heard him mutter a few words and I recognized a few of them as Latin. All of a sudden, a flash of dazzling light shot from his hand and directly hit aguy. It seemed to have no effect.
Benny pouted. "Aw man! I thought for sure that would work!" he cried. Ethan jumped in front of him. "I got him," he exclaimed.
He pointed his gun at the man. He shot out water, which seemed to burn the man's skin. He cried out in pain, and then darted away. "Holy water always works," Ethan stated proudly. Benny groaned, "Whatever. Spells look way cooler." "Did he just say...spells?" I whispered to myself. "And did Ethan just say he used holy water?"
Sarah darted up to one of the guys without giving me time to blink. I didn't even notice she moved until I saw her up in the guy's face. Her eyes glowed bright green, barring fangs. She raised a wooden stake and stabbed the man in the chest. The guy shrieked in pain, and then… disintegrated into thin air! "Oh my god!" I whispered, "She is one of them and she just killed someone!" What was even worse was that Benny and Ethan were helping her.
The last guy came at Sarah at lightning speed. He knocked the other stake right out of her hand. It shot out with an amazing force. At this point, I was standing up, ready to get out of there. That was when the stake just barely dodged my head and instead stuck in the tree right next to me. My mouth was agape. I stood paralyzed for a moment. I swore Ethan's eyes met mine, but I didn't want to believe this. I just wanted to get out of there.
I sprinted from that clearing as fast as I could. I never looked back. The sight of them just enraged my anger and sadness that had been building up inside me since I woke up. I couldn't believe my friends, being who they are, would do something like this. They had kept this from me all this time. But then again, I wouldn't blame them. They knew I would react this way.
All of these thoughts caused me to lose my sense of direction. I caught sight of the opening I had come through earlier, but I stumbled over a rotting tree. My body skid across the sidewalk, scraping my knee right open. I didn't stop there. I kept running, blood dripping down my leg, leaving a trail of red on the road. The pain in my leg was unbearable, but I couldn't stand to be near that forest anymore. All I wanted to do was hear the sound of my front door opening to greet me, to feel the squishiness of the carpet on my stairs, and to see my nice, warm room. I wanted to lay on my soft and comfy bed, to think about my life now. I needed to get away from that forest.
Ahhhhh, so how was that? Is that a cliffhanger for you? More important than that, this chapter wouldn't be this good without the help of Secret Agent Codename Bob! She made this chapter a whole lot better! Check out her story "Deja Vu"! It is awesome!
I will update soon! Leave me a review to tell me how it was! Thanks!
