Once they were situated in Benny's grandma's kitchen, Benny was extremely shaky and paler than before. Grandma Weir just sat there, waiting for them to start.
"Grandma… I… I got so angry," Benny whispered, staring at the table top.
"Angry?"
"I wanted to … hurt Sarah for even looking at Ethan!" he said, and Ethan could hear the anger that his voice held.
"Hmm…"
"There's something else Grandma Weir," Ethan said quietly, making both her and Benny look at him in surprise. "I can … I can feel what he feels…" Ethan said, not looking at either of them.
"Feel what I feel?" Benny asked, and Ethan felt the confusion surge through him.
"You're confused," he said, making Benny gape at him.
"Yeah… I am…"
"Like you couldn't see that on his face," his grandma mumbled.
"Yeah but I wasn't looking at him. I felt it…"
"How long has this been happening?"
"Since I saw him get changed…"
"What do you mean you saw me get changed? ! ?"
"I saw it in a dream. Like a dream-vision."
"I heard you scream for me…" Benny said quietly, looking at Ethan, who nodded.
"And now I feel what you feel. Not always though. Earlier I felt how thirsty you were, how you … longed to protect me from the others."
"You felt it…"
"Yes."
"Grandma! Why is this happening? How did Ethan see me get changed, how could I hear him, and how come he can feel what I feel? ! ?"
"You two are just connected that way. Ethan was so worried about you when you were missing his visions hunted you out, and showed you to him. It's quite common when a seer loses someone close to him."
"Okay… but why can he feel what I feel?"
"Hmm… well, he saw you get changed right? And you heard him as you were getting changed?"
"I heard him say "please don't be dead." And scream my name."
"Well then, there you go. You heard him in the changing process, so now he feels what you feel. Weird I know, but has supernatural stuff ever made sense?" Grandma Weir said, shaking her head. "And Benny, you're blood substitute is almost ready, but I need one more thing. Ethan, come help me please," she said, walking into the kitchen. Ethan shrugged at Benny but followed her in there.
"What do you need my help with?" she placed her finger to her lips and shook her head no. She then handed him a large index card with writing on it.
I don't want him to know what we're doing, and if we spoke he could hear us. I'm going to take a drop of your blood and mix it with his blood substitute. And no, it's not enough to change him into a full vampire, but enough to keep him going and that way his mortal body won't die.
Ethan looked at her and nodded then held out his hand. Quickly, she pricked his finger and squeezed it over a thick red liquid that was in a stainless steel water bottle. He watched it fall into it then she quickly bandaged his finger.
"Thanks for your help Ethan," she said, screwing the lid on the bottle and walking back into the living room. He walked back in there to see Benny eyeing the bottle with distaste.
"I remember how much Sarah despised this stuff… Do I have to drink it?" he asked Ethan, and Ethan noticed that Benny's grandma was nowhere around.
"Y-you need it Benny. Drink it." Benny grimaced but grabbed the bottle and hesitantly brought it to his lips. After one small sip he dropped the bottle and stared at Ethan.
"Wh-what was in that…?" he asked, and Ethan felt the fear course through him. "E, tell me." Ethan just shook his head and stood there. "W-was that…." Ethan closed his eyes against the guilt he felt surge through him from Benny.
"Why do you feel guilty?" he whispered, opening his eyes.
"Because of what was in that."
"One drop won't change you Benny. You're still a fledgling," his grandma said, walking back into the room, an obviously old book in her hands.
"What?"
"It was only one drop, Ethan could've said no, but he didn't."
"You agreed?" Benny screeched, turning back to face Ethan, who just shrugged then nodded.
"You feel better and you look better." Benny just grimaced and drank the bitter blood substitute some more, ignoring them. Once he had drank a little more he looked at Ethan.
"So we're connected somehow?"
"Yes," Grandma answered for him and looked at the two boys. She looked at Benny then left the room again.
Ethan was surprised to feel that same longing come from Benny, but not the thirst. Looking at him, he noticed that Benny was avoiding his eyes.
What's wrong with him now? He thought, and briefly saw Benny look at him in shock before averting his eyes again.
...
Once Ethan had gone home for the night, Grandma Weir had a talk with Benny.
"Benny, you do know since no other human blood appeals to you you'll end up attacking Ethan someday if you're not careful right?"
"I could never hurt Ethan," Benny mumbled, not looking at the older woman.
"Benny, if that bloodlust takes over, you won't have any control over it..."
"STOP SAYING THAT! I COULD NEVER HURT ETHAN!" he screamed at her. She just sat there and waited for him to calm down. "I... I'm sorry grandma."
"It's fine Benny. The anger has to do with who bit you. They were a bitter being weren't they?"
"Sarah was bit by Jesse and she's not mean or bitter..."
"She probably was when she first got bit."
"So my anger's just part of being bit?"
"Yes."
"Why is Ethan's the only blood I want?" he asked quietly, all anger leaving him. She frowned at him then shrugged.
"Benny... If I knew for sure, I would tell you."
"Or you know and don't want to tell me...?"
"You're not ready to know yet Benny... I'm sorry. Goodnight." She left him to sit in the kitchen and try to figure out what she meant.
