Sarah's P.O.V

There was something I remembered Benny's grandma saying about too much supernatural blood in one being. Something about the overflow of magical energy and adverse affects. I went through everything Benny was or is. Human, spellmaster, vampire, and zombie. I was confused, now. It had been a while since he had been a zombie, and being human wouldn't do anything. I needed help to figure this out, and I couldn't tell anyone...I know! I can theoretically ask Benny's grandma! That should work! I ran down the stairs to the living room. If she asked how I got here, I would just tell her I hopped through Benny's room and he was slepping. I saw her sitting in a chair near a fireplace, flipping through a spellbook with a Sharpie. Presumably blacking out questionable spells from ever meeting Benny's eyes.

"Hey, , um, can I ask you a question?" She looked up.

"Yes. Do you need more substitute?"

"Well, yes, but that's not what I was going to ask. I wanted to know what would happen if a person was a spellmaster, vampire, and zombie?" She raised her eyebrows, with good reason, it was quite an unusual question. "I just wanted to know, so I would know what to do if Benny ever got bitten by a zombie or a vampire, or even both." Her expression relaxed.

"Well, a being cannot take that much magical power. You see, if Ethan were to be transformed into all of those things, he would be fine, because he'd get rid of excess magical energy through longer, more detailed visions, and he would be reduced back to his usual level of magical energy soon, but Benny has no way of getting rid of excess energy. He'd be on overload, so even if he had turned into say, a zombie, months ago, the energy wouldn't fade, so if he was all of those, his hunger would be far stronger than any other vampire, fledgling, or otherwise. Then, he would have seizures due to overload of power, everything would go black, and he wouldn't have control over his fangs. His eyes would turn yellow without warning, and his spellcasting would be a bit stronger than usual, which would probably be troublesome. And that's pretty much it." I nodded in understanding and I felt frustrated in my mind, because I had no idea what to do about anything.

"So..is there anyway to reverse it?" His grandma furrowed her eyebrows.

"No, there is not a safe way to get rid of it. However..." I didn't have time to be safe. Everyone would find out Benny's secret in a flash if I didn't do something soon.

"Yes?"

"If someone conjured up a magical energy monster..the energy could be absorbed, and he would lose all other magical beings other than the ones he was born with which would be a spellmaster, but if it ended badly, he'd absorb even more magical energy, and eventually he would just overload completely and shut down." I nodded, glad that there was something we could do about it. If worse came to worse, he would only shut down and go unconscious.

"Okay. What's so bad about that?" She shook her head.

"We're not talking about computers here, Sarah. When I saw 'shut down', I mean that he would..die." The realization hit me hard. What if..Benny died?

Benny's P.O.V

I awoke on the floor, groggy, scared, and curious, but thankful to be alive. I tried to rise, but fell down. After trying two more times, I successfully stood. I removed my jacket and placed it on the bed. My head hurt. I don't reccommend hard-wood floors to sleep upon, let alone faint on. I removed my day clothes and switched into some pajamas. Startrek themed, of course. I sighed, and a strong pait of arms grabbed me around the waist. My scream was muffled by a hand, with long fingers, and sharp nails.
