All three of us were in the air. Literally in the air.
Rory and Erica were flying me to where Sarah was.
God, this was irritating. It was so windy up here. I couldn't see, and earlier a fly into my mouth and I ate it. I was on Rory's back since I refused to let Erica carry me. I find it embarrassing for a girl to carry me.
"How far?!" I yelled aloud.
"Just a few more miles!" yelled Erica.
"Could y'all go any faster?!"
"Nope," yelled Rory. "Vampires are not that fast when flying!"
"This is why back in Whitechapel we preferred to just run!" yelled Erica.
"No wonder!" I yelled.
Suddenly, we were getting lower and lower.
"Are we here?!" I yelled.
"Yep," replied Erica.
We passed by the Statue of Liberty. Oh, my God. New York! We're in New York City.
"Sarah was in New York City this entire time," I yelled.
"Pretty much," said Rory.
"Where did you think she was?" asked Erica.
"I don't know. India, South America, or China! With a vampire coven perhaps."
"The Chinese coven don't like people that much," said Rory.
Finally, we landed in Central Park.
"Man, I can't believe we're in the Big Apple," I said.
"I know," said Rory. "Let's take some pictures of us on top of the Empire State Building."
"Okay!"
"Ahh-ahh," said Erica. "We're not going anywhere until we get Sarah."
"Alright, buzz kill," said Rory. "Lets go."
Erica led us to an apartment building. It was fancy-looking. I can't believe Sarah lives here. How could she even afford this? It must cost a fortune.
We got to the front desk where a bald gentleman was standing there with a noticeable beard and a bloated belly.
"May I help you?" He said.
"Yes, my friends and I are here to see Sarah Fox," I said. "We'd like to know where her apartment is."
"Lets see. Oh, yes. Here we go. Ms. Fox's apartment is on the eighth floor in apartment 11."
"Thanks."
When we got in the elevator, I asked, "So how's Sarah been?"
"She's still the same," said Rory. He glanced over at Erica. "Just…"
"Going through some emotional pain since she broke up with Ethan," said Erica.
"I thought she dumped him because…"
"She only dumped him to protect him. Sarah really loved him. You didn't know how hard it was for her to tell him that she doesn't love him."
"How hard?"
"She broke down in tears," answered Rory.
Poor Sarah. She must be how Ethan's been. A moaning zombie with a heart that has been shattered into pieces.
We got to her apartment door. Rory opened it and we walked inside. I felt scared.
"Sarah?" called out Erica.
"Who is it?" answered Sarah.
"It's us. Erica and Rory. We brought Benny along with us."
"Go away!"
"Sarah," I said. "It's me. Benny. I wanna talk to you."
Suddenly, she came out. Sarah looked awful. Her black hair was all messed up. She was in pajamas and she looked like she's been in bed all day.
"Sarah?" I said.
"Hey, Benny," she moaned.
"Wow. You look different."
"I'm still the same."
"Well, I need your help."
"Help?"
"You see Ethan—"
"Oh, god. Oh, Ethan!" She started crying.
Man, I've never seen Sarah cry like this since…ever. She's crying Niagara Falls here!
I looked at Erica mouthing, "Help!"
"Comfort her!" she mouthed back.
I uncomfortably wrapped my arms around Sarah an hugged her. During the hug, I stupidly pat her on the back and said, "There, there. It's alright. Benny's here."
"It hurts so much!" she cried.
"I know. It's like after you broke up with Ethan. You should've seen how he was. He was like a zombie."
She got of my hug. "What?"
"Yeah. Ethan was heartbroken."
"He was? Oh, god. I thought it'd be easy to let him go but…it was so hard. I felt like I died…again."
"Well he missed you a lot. Also, Ethan's missing."
"Missing?!"
"Yeah. Stern kidnapped Ethan. We don't know where he took him."
"No! We have to find him!"
"I know. So lets go."
She ran in her vampire speed and got dressed. "Lets go find my man now."
"That's what I'm talking about," I said.
"Lets go," said Rory.
We flew back to Whitechapel and got to my house. Grandma was there.
"So where do you think Stern has taken Ethan, Grandma Weir," asked Erica.
"I had a vision earlier of what had happened," said Grandma. "It seems that Stern cast an illusion spell on his henchman, Hu Li to make her look like Sarah and she tricked Ethan. Then, Stern and Hu Li transported Ethan to the Underworld."
"Underworld?!" shrieked Sarah. "We have to get him back!"
"That's going to be hard, Sarah."
"Well, why did Stern kidnapped Ethan?" asked Rory.
"It seems that Stern wasn't powerful enough to absorb the Lucrifactor. It says that if the person is not powerful enough, he can only absorb most of it and absorb…"
"Absorb what?" I demanded.
"The heart of a seer."
The heart of a seer? Stern's going to absorb Ethan's heart. No!
"So he can just take his heart out just like that?" asked Sarah.
"No. He's going to toture Ethan first. He can take out a heart when the person is weak."
"Oh, god."
"We got to go to the Underworld and get him," I said.
"Too dangerous, Benny," said Grandma.
"Grandma, we can do this. Just how do we get there?"
"If I open a portal to the Underworld."
"Okay then we're going."
We pack weapons with us and got ready. Stern's not gonna take Ethan's heart out. I won't let him.
"Be warned," said Grandma. "The Underworld is the most dangerous place ever. It's like a nightmare you can't wake up from. You're gonna go through different places with booby traps, illusions, and they can bring your worst nightmares alive just like that."
"Alright," I said. "I'll be careful, Grandma. I promise."
I look at Sarah. "We're gonna get him back, Sarah."
Grandma suddenly opened the portal. It was purple swirling vortex.
Erica, Rory, Sarah, and I grabbed onto each other's hands and jumped into the portal.
