Chapter 4: The Prophecy

(The Park)

Erica had just dragged Ethan blinded folded for miles until they finally she stopped "are we here yet" Ethan asked gasping for breath. Erica walked behind him "yes were here" she said as she slowly took off his blind fold. Ethan opened his eyes to see they were in the park "you dragged me around town for miles to later bring me to the park which is only five minutes from my house?" he complained. Erica just smiled revealing her fangs "exactly" she said with amused voice.

Ethan began to be skeptical "did you bring me here to suck my blood, is that why you asked me out?" he asked frightened to death by what Erica's answer would be. Erica still smiled but this time her fangs were gone she leaned in close to Ethan "no" she whispered "I'm not going to suck you're blood even if it is one in a million" Ethan shivered as her breath blew in his ear every time she spoke a word. He stepped back without knowledge of why he did. But Erica was persistent; she kept stepping forward with every step Ethan took back.

"Stop" screamed a voice behind a tree "please just stop it" Erica and Ethan turned their heads in surprise. "Who is it?" Erica asked, tensing up a bit she walked forward to the tree but Ethan stopped her. "Wait" he told Erica, then faced the tree "you can come out Sarah I know it's you"

Embarrassed Sarah stepped out from behind the tree. Ethan was happy to see her; does this mean she likes me back? He thoughtforgetting Sarah could read his mind. But Sarah was silent she did read his mind but she didn't want to say no because then she would be lying. Ethan, Erica, and Sarah just stood there waiting until one of them spoke.

In the end it wasn't the three of them that broke the silence but a witch's laugh from up above. The trio looked up to see who it was, to their surprise no one was there, but Ethan felt someone behind him. When he turned around he saw Stephanie the evil witch who posed as a cheerleader to get revenge on the school. She grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away, but as quickly as she grabbed that's how quickly Sarah noticed and attacked the witch. Surprised by the attack Stephanie let go of Ethan and disappeared before anyone could do anything.

"Ethan, are you okay" asked Sarah as she pulled him up. Ethan was still for a second "yeah" he said getting back into focus. "But you just had a vision, didn't you" asked Sarah "I know that face. Ethan nodded, Erica walked forward standing beside Sarah "what did you see" she asked.

Ethan sighed "I'm not sure, but it looked like a piece of paper with writing on it some sort of" "prophecy" said Benny appearing out of nowhere "my grandmother had a feeling that it was close by" Benny walked toward Ethan "did you see where it was?" Ethan nodded "yes, it's the same place where Sarah got the cure expect it was placed under the third stone.

(Place where Sarah got the cure)

"Here it is" said Benny as he took out the old and crippled up piece of paper. Benny with the prophecy in his hands walked to the others who were keeping watch. "What is this prophecy and why was Stephanie after it?" asked Ethan. Benny took a breath "once a person that possessed the gift defeated a powerful witch, using new powers he had received" Benny closed his eyes for a few seconds then continued speaking "but they weren't enough to completely seal her, so he went to an oracle, the oracle foretold a prophecy on the night of a blue moon in fifty years that the evil witch would arise and would be once again be defeated, but that the person who would defeat the witch was never told the oracle only said that his destiny was written on a prophecy" holding up the piece of paper in his hands Benny kept speaking "this prophecy" Everyone amazed by the story stared at the paper in Benny's hands. "well unfolded it" said Erica and Benny did just that. He unfolded it and held it out for everyone to see

Once again this hero will have the gift

With new powers to read minds and to shift

On the blue moon the evil witch will arise

And the hero will look into her eyes

A major battle will take place

One that opens the doors to death

The witch would then be defeated and surrender

But the hero will lose his life sealing her

Ethan touched the paper. "Who do you think that could be" asked Benny. Erica and Sarah shrugged their shoulders, but Ethan just stood there motionless. Ethan finally spoke up "I know who the hero is" everyone turned their heads to face him. "Who is it buddy?" asked Benny. Ethan gulped down a lump in his throat "it's me" he said pointing to himself "I'm the hero" Benny walked up to Ethan "I know the hero has the gift and all but." No, it's not that" said Ethan cutting Benny off "when I touched the prophecy I had a vision of me battling the witch next Friday the day of the blue moon. Sarah came up and looked Ethan deep in the eyes "then you know that means" said Sarah unable to finish her sentence "yeah I die"
