Ethan and Benny woke up at the crack of dawn to meet up with Sarah in the cell room. They both entered the room, surprisingly at the same time. Best friends can be creepy like that.
"Hello Sarah," Ethan said happily as he unlocked the cell door and Sarah hugged him.
"We have a plan," Benny chimed in.
"I see you talked to Benny," Sarah smiled at the man's new attitude towards her.
"Yeah, E here," Benny pat him on the back, "told me your one of those good vampires."
"Well that's good. So, what's the plan?"
"We are going to show humans and vampires that vampires can have self-control," Ethan happily explained.
"How are we going to accomplish that?" Sarah asked not sure of the plan."
"With you," Benny pointed at her. "You have self-control, so the first part of the plan is already done. Then we get you out of here. Finally, we call a meeting between the human and vampire counsels."
"It's a great plan, but the only problem is that we don't have any connections with the vampire counsel," Ethan stated.
"I can fix that, one of my best friends is in the vampire counsel."
"That's great!" Benny cheered. "So now the plan can totally work!"
"Yup," Ethan faced Sarah, "but there is one thing I want to first." Ethan quickly kissed Sarah, it was short, but soft and Sarah knew what it meant, I love you.
"Get a room guys," Benny teased.
"Ha, ha, I forgot to laugh," Ethan said sarcastically.
"You two can tease each other later," Sarah pointed to the two men acting like kids.
"Right, we have to get you out of here," Ethan handcuffed Sarah. "We don't want anyone getting suspicious."
"Come on lovebirds," Benny walked to the door and opened the door for Ethan to lead Sarah out.
The three walked out to the hall. All they had to do know was find an exit and drive to Erica. They had almost reached the exit door at the end of the hall when a soldier confronted them. "General, Cornel. What are you doing with the prisoner?" He asked.
"We are taking the prisoner," Ethan shook her a bit, "to another facility."
"May I ask why?"
"She is too dangerous to stay here," Benny quickly explained.
"Alright, well, be careful."
"We will, thanks," Ethan assured the soldier with a smile.
The three quickly headed for the door. They walked out towards the buggy.
"Wow, it nice to smell the fresh air," Sarah said as Ethan took the handcuffs off her.
"I agree, it been too long since we left the base," Benny said as he jumped in the back of the buggy. Ethan took the driver's seat and Sarah rode shotgun. It was going to be a long drive.
Hours passed with Sarah and Ethan arguing about directions for most of the drive. Benny laughed knowing it was typical couple behavior during a road trip. They finally reached a small town, where they stopped at a beautiful mansion.
"This…" Benny stared at the building awestruck. ", is your friend's house?!"
"Yup." Sarah smiled as she jumped out of the buggy. "Being in the vampire counsel has its perks."
"I'll say," Ethan agreed as he exited the vehicle.
"Okay, you guys stay here while I talk to Erica." She began walking over to the door. Sarah nervously rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a woman with the hugest smile on her face. "Sarah!" Erica excitedly hugged her friend then pushed her back, "I thought you were dead!"
"Nope, still alive and well. It's so good to see you!"
"Likewise. So…who are your friends?" Erica pointed towards Ethan and Benny.
"Well…they're sort of why I'm here," Sarah avoided eye contact with her friend. "They're human."
"What!" Erica grabbed her friend's shoulders. "You can't bring humans to my house!" She whispered.
"Listen, we have a plan and it could end this war." Sarah looked at her friend." And I'm asking you as a best friend."
"Well," Erica looked at the two men in the distance, "they do look kind of cute." She smiled. "Okay, they can stay, but only for a few days."
"Thank you!" Sarah hugged Erica. "Oh, and one of them is taken." She looked towards Ethan.
"Sarah…this is just like Dusk!" Erica loved that book.
Sarah motioned for Ethan and Benny to come in the house. The house was beautiful and huge. It had ten bedrooms, five bathrooms, an indoor pool, a big kitchen, and a minibar.
"It's even cooler inside!" Benny exclaimed.
"Benny don't shout," Ethan looked at him. "Hi, I'm Ethan," he held out his hand, "and this is Benny," he pointed to the man looking up at the high ceiling in awe.
"Nice to me you, I'm Erica," She smiled. "Well you guys can pick any bedroom you want and get settled in," Erica said kindly.
Benny and Ethan quickly raced to the biggest room, Ethan won. Benny sadly went into the room next to his.
"Well since they're having fun jumping up and down on the beds, can you give me a tour?" Sarah asked.
"Sure."
An hour or two past and the two women ended their tour at the minibar. It's fun to sit and talk in those spinning chairs.
"So, tell me about Ethan."
"He is just so kind and compassionate. I'm…in love." Sarah smiled at finally admitting her feelings.
"Ooh!" Erica shook her fists in the air with excitement. "This is just like Dusk!"
"Erica."
"Sorry, but I just love romance."
"I know." Sarah looked towards the shelves of drinks, "Hey Erica, are three bottles of vodka supposed to be missing?" Sarah pointed towards the empty spaces on the shelf.
"No."
"I should probably ask Ethan and Benny about it."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Bye," Sarah said as she began walking towards Benny's room. She entered the room while knocking. "Hey Benny."
"Hi Sarah. What's up?"
"This is a really stupid question, but…are you drinking?" She felt a bit awkward asking.
"Do I look drunk?" Benny pointed to himself.
"No," Sarah laughed. "Sorry about that."
"No problem, but why did you ask?"
"Oh, well, there are three bottles of vodka missing from the minibar."
"Oh no." Benny looked a bit worried.
"What's wrong?" Sarah was becoming a bit concerned.
"What's the date?"
"June fifth. Why?"
"Come with me." Benny grabbed Sarah's hand and he quickly rushed to Ethan's room. He didn't even knock and swung the door open. There was a strong smell of alcohol in the room.
"Ben…nee, Sare…uh, how nice to see…you." Ethan was so drunk he could barely stand as he swayed left and right walking towards them.
"Ethan you need to stop!" Benny grabbed the bottle out of his hand.
"No!" Ethan grabbed the neck of his shirt. "I…need it!"
"It's okay," Benny began slowly leading his friend towards the chair in the room.
Ethan sat down. "But…I…killed them."
"Shh, it's okay."
"But…I…" Ethan slowly released Benny's shirt and fell into a drunken sleep.
"Okay start explaining Benny." Sarah demanded concerned for Ethan.
"You might want to sit down," Benny pat the spot next to him on the bed.
I hope I left you with a good cliff hanger. I don't know so tell me what you think and if I should continue.
