A/N I really truly am SO SORRY it took so long for me to write this. I hope it will never happen again. R&R pleeeeaseee ;D Reviews help me write better and help me feel like people actually care about this story. Well... Here goes chapter 3!
BTW I don't own the Caster Chronicles *I wish I did though*
It was 2:23 when I heard a rip somewhere in my room. I
didn't even bother to check to see who it was before I dove under
my bed, afraid that it was Hunting or Abraham back to finish me
off.
"Hey man, what're ya doin' up so late?"
It was Link. I climbed back onto my bed.
"Oh y'know, the flu, sickness, didn't Lena tell you?"
I faked a cough. It wasn't very convincing and that was coming
from me.
"Um, are you okay dude?"
He doesn't believe me I panicked of course he doesn't I scolded
myself.
"Mhmm"
"Ethan I know something's wrong"
"No it's not"
"Dude, no offense, but anybody in their right mind would be
able to tell something's wrong with you with just one glance."
"I'm fine!" I said softly throwing one of my pillows at him. It
sailed right by him and hit the wall. Hard. When it fell to the floor,
there was a dent in the wall.
Link's jaw practically dropped to the floor. Then he froze, as if
he was going over all the possibilities in his head. Then all of a
sudden his hand flew up to his neck, where John had bitten him,
and he turned towards me in an instant.
"Ethan, let me look at you."
By now I had pretty much given up any hope of keeping my
secret from him. I got up and turned on the lights then turned
toward Link. The look on his face was priceless. I would've laughed
out loud if it wasn't for the seriousness of the situation.
Minutes passed and Link finally snapped out of his trance
and said something.
"Did John do this? I can't believe we trusted that guy.
Seriously, I got over what he did to me, but now you! I swear Im
gonna-"
"John didn't do this." I cut him off.
"What? Then who..." He trailed off gesturing to me.
I paused. "Abraham" I said once I got enough courage to say it.
"What?! Why?"
"I don't know he's a 500 year old creep that seems intent
on destroying the world. Why does he do anything?"
"W-wait a second, so you're like a full blood-sucker? Not a
quarter like me or even a half like John?"
"Nope, I'm the full package" I tried to awkwardly make a joke.
"So you can't go into the sunlight?"
"Nope, look."
I showed him the burn mark on my arm, which was turned a
bright red again.
"The sun did that!? Link exclaimed.
"Yeah I walked into my room earlier this morning and I
had accidentally left the window open so I unknowingly stepped
into the sunlight and this happened."
"Wow. What're you gonna do?"
"Well I'm gonna have to figure out something by
tomorrow because I wanna go back to school to see Lena before
she gets suspicious."
"Want me to stay over and help? Neither of us need to
sleep anymore."
"Yeah, sure"

The next morning Link and I decided that if I wore a hoodie,
jeans and a hat then the sunlight wouldn't be able to touch my
skin.
"Okay" Link said. "I'm gonna run home and get the Beater
and then I'll meet you back here"
Link opened my window and started to climb out when the
sunlight hit me.
"Owww!" I yelled jumping into the shadows.
"Oops sorry, you might wanna put on that hoodie and stuff
now"
"Yeah, good idea" I sighed "I really hope this works."
"Me too, I don't want my best friend to become a baked
potato, I'll be back in a few minutes" And with that, he was gone.

About 15 minutes later Link finally pulled up in the Beater. I
pulled my hat over my face and started to climb out of my
window. To my surprise, the extra clothes actually worked! I
hopped down to the ground and started walking down the
walkway when Amma yelled out to me from the kitchen window.
"Ethan Lawson Wate where do you think you're going!"
I knew I had to come up with something fast, or else I
wasn't getting anywhere.
"I'm just going to school Amma, like normal. So I better get
going, you wouldn't want me to be late, would you?"
"Ethan you know things aren't normal anymore. They never
were anyway but now even more so." She replied quietly.
"Amma please I can't hide in my room forever." I was
practically begging her now.
She softened a little bit but she still held her ground firmly.
"No, Ethan. I'm sorry."
"How about I go and if one thing goes wrong then I'll do
whatever you say" I bargained.
She let out a sigh. "Fine, but ONE thing and you're back up
in that room young man."
"Thank you!" I quickly ran inside and gave her a hug.
"Ethan" She wheezed "You're squishing me"
I quickly let go. "I am so sorry Amma. That WON'T happen
at school." I smiled and ran off although I was really worried on
the inside. I hopped into the Beater and Link drove us off to
school.
