Previously…
A blast from beside them knocks both Ethan and Sarah to the floor. Lindsay has managed to break free and freeze Benny and his grandma. She advances on Sarah's prone form and raises a hand forcing her to remain on the floor. "I'm going to finish this once and for all. When you're gone, Ethan won't even remember you ever existed. He will be mine. I have plans for him." Lindsay says a few strange words and a large ball of energy gathers in her open hands.
Frightened, desperate and angry, Sarah hisses at the girl with her fangs in full view. Lindsay's calm demeanor breaks for a second as she shows shock at the transformation but then laughs. "A vampire? That explains a few things, but it makes no difference. You can't stop me."
Sarah looks away from the evil girl and stares into Ethan's eyes. If she's going to die right now, she wants him to be the last thing she sees and not some psychotic witch. "Ethan." Sarah whispers, willing him to remember her.
Lindsay raises the energy ball, a maniacal gleam in her eyes. Ethan, seeing this and looking back at Sarah, dives in front of her just as Lindsay releases the deadly bolt. "Sarah!"
Chapter 3: Stupid Hero
In the instant just as the bolt hits Ethan square in his back and as Sarah screams out a panicked "NO!" a flash of bright, sky blue light engulfs them. Ethan tackles Sarah with a grimace and rolls so he hits the floor instead of her. His head raps against the hard surface and he doesn't move.
"Ethan!" Sarah rises up to sit straddling his waist and places her hands on his face. "Oh God! Please wake up, Ethan! Please!" A well of anger boils up inside as Ethan lies still beneath her. Crouching protectively over him, she turns to face the girl responsible and hisses fiercely.
Lindsay stands a few feet away with wide, blank eyes. Her hands hang limply at her sides, all signs of the power they once held gone. The next moment, she collapses to the floor muttering unintelligible sounds.
"Sarah." Ethan whispers out her name and groans from the pain in his head. "Sarah."
"Ethan." The witch forgotten at the sound of his voice, Sarah leans over him. "You're alive?"
"I think so." Opening his eyes, Ethan winces. "Everything hurts too much for me to be dead."
"You stupid idiot!" Sarah smacks his shoulder. "Don't you ever scare me like that again." She helps him sit up and smacks his shoulder again.
"Ow." Rubbing his shoulder, Ethan scowls at her. "This is how you thank me?"
"No." Sarah leans in close. "This is." Ethan's eyes widen as she presses her soft lips against his cheek. "Thank you, Nerd-boy."
"You're welcome." Ethan closes his eyes and sighs.
"Uh hem." Benny clears his throat nearby. "Seeing as how you two have a love-fest going on here and Lindsay seems to have lost her marbles, I'm thinking Ethan has gotten his memory back."
Blushing madly, Sarah scrambles off of Ethan to her feet and helps him up. Ethan groans as he straightens, in too much pain to be bothered by Benny's words. Sarah, sniffing him hungrily, looks him over from head to toe and then goes around to his back and gasps. The back of his shirt is singed off and his skin has several nasty, bleeding lacerations as if he had been whipped by a live electrical wire.
"Grandma!" Benny yells as he looks at the damage to Ethan's back with Sarah.
Later, in the kitchen, the group is sitting around the island while Grandma dabs at Ethan's wounds with a foul smelling concoction that stings like the devil as he sits there shirtless. Lindsay sits huddled on the floor in a corner of the room babbling nonsense to herself, completely harmless. Ethan's little sister is coloring pictures at the table. Every once in a while Jane glances up at her brother, her face pales and she immediately goes back to her coloring.
"That girl was not working alone." Grandma nods her head at Lindsay. "She could not have broken free of my holding spell and frozen us at the same time all by herself. Unfortunately, we can't get any answers from her."
"That rebounded spell wiped her clean." Benny shakes his head. "I doubt she remembers her own name."
"How am I not dead?" Gritting his teeth from the pain in his back, Ethan clenches his fists on the counter. "Don't get me wrong. I love the being alive part but I should be extra crispy from the wattage she threw at us. It felt like getting hit by an E-11 blaster rifle."
"Stupid nerd." Sarah grumbles under her breath as she gives him an annoyed look which Ethan pretends not to see. Her eyes slide over his bare torso and quickly dart away.
"The charm I gave Sarah absorbed most of the energy." Grandma explains as she places the last bandage on Ethan's back. "Unfortunately, you were at the very edge of its range so it wasn't able to protect you completely." She helps him put on a fresh shirt.
"So he jumped in front of me for nothing?" Sarah crosses her arms.
"Hey, I didn't know you had a supernatural force field." Looking over at her, Ethan frowns. "I thought you were going to die."
"So you decided to try and kill yourself instead?" Sarah stands up and puts her hands on her hips.
"Children." Grandma admonishes them. "The threat to Sarah is what got Ethan to snap out of the spell and everyone survived. I think the real questions are: why did they target Ethan and who else is involved? This isn't over yet."
"Lindsay, when she was doing her evil monologue thing, said something about having plans for him but didn't say what those plans were." Sarah sits back down on her stool.
"Apparently you, my friend, are a hot commodity." Jokes Benny.
"Yeah. That's great, B." Ethan rolls his eyes. "It's a dream of mine to be wanted by evil witches with nefarious plans. Yay me!" He shakes his hands in the air in a half-hearted imitation of a cheer.
"Hello ladies… losers." Erica stands in the back doorway smirking until she starts sniffing the air appreciatively. "What is that intoxicating aroma?" She spots a large metal bowl on the counter near her filled with bloody tissues. "Whose blood is it and where can I get some?"
"Never you mind, young lady." Waving her hand gracefully, Grandma sets the mess on fire, letting it burn until all traces are gone and nothing is left but a few ashes. "No sense tempting the easily tempted."
"Fine." Pouting over being denied, Erica steps back outside into the cool night air. "See you in school, Sarah." With that, she flies off over the rooftops.
"I think I'm going to go upstairs to lie down." Ethan stands up and staggers his way through the kitchen. "Good night."
"Sarah, help him up the stairs would you? And don't worry; his wounds should be almost completely healed in the next day or two." Packing up the last of her things, Grandma closes her bag. "Jane you better go up too. Your parents will be home soon. Benny, help me get Lindsay home."
"Yes Grandma." Benny and Jane reply simultaneously.
Upstairs, Sarah manages to help Ethan onto his bed. "Are you sure you're going to be alright?" She kneels down and tugs off his shoes.
"Yes. I'll be fine." Rolling with a groan onto his stomach, Ethan tugs the pillow under his head not even bothering with any covers. "Night, Sarah." The next second he's passed out.
"Night, Ethan." Sarah leans over him and kisses his forehead. "My stupid hero." She turns off the lights to his room and walks out to check on Jane.
Thanks for reading and please review. I'd love to hear what you think.
Also, I have a question for you: I haven't been including any clothing descriptions, is this something you'd like me to add to the stories or leave things the way they are?
