It's been over a month. I suck! Sooooooo sorry! I've been obsessed with House of Anubis and Disney. I know. I don't own My babysitters a vampire . Ok?
The rhythm of her shoes on the concrete echoed in her ears. She didn't know what she ran from. Her secret being realized? Why did it matter so much that this particular boy knew? And why did it hurt so much, that he didn't care?
"Sarah."
She stopped, feeling her heart rate elevate, her insides clench.
"What do you want, Jesse?"
He stepped from the shadows, with his sneaky smile and his calm ways.
"I know where you went." Jesse said, walking over to her, circling her and making her feel like dead meat being stalked by a vulture.
"I needed to say I couldn't go babysit anymore." Sarah eyed Jesse up and down.
"Right." Jesse gave a slow, melting laugh. "Is that why you took so long?"
"Why are you following me anyway?" Sarah spat. "Get a life."
"But you are my life." Jesse gazed into her eyes, his thin, cold, pale fingertips brushing her cheek. She shivered at his touch, almost craving it. But she resisted, pulling back.
"Jesse, cut the crap and get a life." Sarah said.
"Sarah, you're cursing?" Jesse chuckled. "I would've thought you never even knew the word crap."
"Shut up." Sarah's gaze was steely.
"My, my, my. Does the vampire hunter know who you are, Sarah?" Jesse smiled in satisfaction. "Does he know he's in love with a...how would you say it? Oh, yeah...a demon?" He was baiting her, and she knew it. But there was no way she'd let him say that about her...about them.
"Jesse, I'm saying this once." Sarah said. "Leave him alone. Leave me alone, or else..."
"Or else what?" Jesse spat, growing angry. "Sarah, that's the thing about you. You're deluded. You have crazy ideas, crazy fantasies as to who you are and what you do. You always play me off as the bad guy. Haven't you considered yourself? I turned you so we could be together. End of story. You know, some girls might find that romantic?"
"Stupid girls." Sarah shot back. "Grow up, Jesse. You planned on using me and you know it. End of story." she threw in the last part as a mockery. Jesse softened a bit.
"I don't like arguing with you, Sarah." Jesse said. "Just answer this one question. Does he know who you are?"
"He only knows me as his sister's babysitter." Sarah said softly.
"Well that's good." Jesse's eyes flickered with doubt. "Because, you realize, if he did...we'd have to end him, and you as well."
"I know..." Sarah sighed. "Jesse, can I...be by myself?"
"You don't need to ask, Sarah." Jesse smiled. "I'll be going. We will meet soon, I hope. And, Sarah...remember, I'm always here. For you." Jesse flashed away, and Sarah only cast a look in the direction of Ethan's house, exhaling. It could never happen. It was...forbidden.
Ethan sat before the blaring television, not registering what was happening. Jane was by his side, her eyes glued to the screen, but Ethan's mind was wandering back to the vampire girl he was in love with. And it scared him a bit, knowing it was just that. Love.
His phone rang, snapping him from his daze. Ethan dug his phone from his pocket, flipping it open without a care as to who was calling.
"Hello?"
"E?" Benny's voice crackled. "We have a problem."
"Oh yeah?" Ethan swallowed. "What?"
"Rory's not on our side." Benny said grimly. "They've brainwashed him, E. It's crazy!"
"No." Ethan said, the shock smashing his thoughts and bewildering him. "We needed him, Benny, it's... What-what can we do now?"
"I don't know! You're the ideas guy!" Benny cried, making Ethan roll his eyes and sigh in defeat.
"I'll get back to you on that." Ethan said. "But...if we want to win this..."
"Yeah?" Benny held his breath, hopeful.
"We need to plan a sneak attack." Ethan said, fishing around his pockets for a scrap of paper as he snatched a pencil stub. "I've got a few ideas..."
"All for em." Benny remained silent, waiting.
"The vampires. They have as much weakness as us. Maybe more. We just have to play them right." Ethan said.
"Like?" Benny prompted.
"We infiltrate vampire turf. A whole army of us, with weapons." Ethan said, the scene already running through his mind.
"Then we give em no mercy!" Benny crowed. "That's my kinda party. When?"
"Some time soon. Maybe...day after tomorrow?" Ethan suggested. "Be ready by dawn. We have work to do."
"As always, shocking, my friend." Benny smiled from his side of the line. "I'll get some recruits. See you then." He clicked off, leaving Ethan slightly nervous as to how they were going to pull this off.
Della glanced behind her for the seventh time. She felt very uneasy for some reason. Like she was being...followed. She quickened her pace. Then she heard a small crack, like a twig being broken.
"Who's there?" she said, mentally smacking herself for saying something like straight out of a horror movie.
"Don't move." a boy's voice whispered. This made Della freak out, and she began to run. No way was she going to let some pedophile touch her.
"Della! Wait!" Della froze in her tracks. The voice was familiar.
"Rory?" Della glances around. Rory stumbled in front of her, pushing aside some tree branches from the tree he was in.
"I need to..talk to you." Rory said. Della was shocked by the seriousness in his voice.
"Okay, what?" Della asked.
"You...and Benny." Rory said, hesitant. "Erica talked to me and...I was just wondering, if...you two were together?"
"Me and Benny? No way." Della laughed. "He's nice, but he's not exactly my type." Rory nodded.
"I was just...wondering." Rory said. He didn't get why this girl knew him, why she made him jealous, why she made him warm inside. It was a confusing mystery, but from what he gathered, he liked her.
From a few blocks away, two vampires stood watching them.
"He doesn't think the nerds are his friends anymore." one of the two said. "Why does he talk to that girl still?"
"That's a mystery to me as well." The second vampire agreed.
Erica's mind was playing games on her. End of story. Why else would she keep thinking of...Benny? It wasn't like she liked him. No, it was more that he might like her. Since their last exchange of words, everything had changed. They declared mutual hate, not love, but somehow, she knew it was deeper. He saved her.
It was on Ethan's command, and he was just doing his job to maintain the council happy. But it still made her...melt inside. Even when she tried to threaten her captors, he merely picked her up, making her...vulnerable. And she hated herself for it.
"Erica, why so silent?" Jesse flashed beside the girl. Erica glanced at him, her mouth twisting into a smile. She did feel something for Benny, but Jesse was so dreamy she had a crush on him.
"How was your hunting?" Erica changed subject.
"I didn't go. I saw Sarah." Jesse said, dropping down beside her, where she sat underneath a tree in the park.
"Sarah?" Erica said, jealousy in her voice.
"She's resisting her kind." Jesse said simply. "She said that she removed all ties to Ethan Morgan. I don't believe it."
"Who cares?" Erica said.
"Well, when the girl you want is happy with another guy, you get jealous." Jesse smiled at Erica teasingly. "Especially when the guy always wants to kill you."
"Why Sarah?" Erica blurted.
"Why?" Jesse contemplated her question. "I don't know. I turned her, so maybe I feel some need to have her by my side. And I do like a challenge. Many factors, you could say."
"Yes, but aren't there...other girls?" Erica asked.
"Do you know any?" Jesse smirked, inching closer to Erica.
"Maybe." Erica said slyly.
"Well, make sure to tell them, I'm probably interested." Jesse whispered into her ear, his breath cool. His lips grazed her cheek and he stood up, giving her his calm smile, and flashed away, leaving Erica with conflicting emotion.
Ethan fingered the handy dagger in his sleeve, waiting for his backup. Benny approached him, a bag slung over his shoulder.
"Everything's ready for tomorrow?" Ethan asked.
"Yes." Benny said simply.
"And the others?" Ethan asked.
"They're alerted." Benny said.
"Let's get this war over with." Ethan said.
"And show no mercy." Benny smirked.
"Right. No mercy..." Ethan repeated, laughing nervously, as his thought trailed back to the fledgling who used to babysit his sister...
It was short and sucky. Eh. Don't worry Bennica fans, Jesse/Erica is only temporary. Well, you know, I'm telling the following people:
