"Benny and Carly, can you get these two girls off me." Said Jesse as their possessed figures turned to look at Sarah and Erica.

"Of course." Said Benny

"We'd love to." Said Carly as they appeared in front of Sarah and Erica. Benny had Erica and Carly had Sarah. They gave each other a glance and then using their strength punched each of the girls in the chest causing them to go flying and go through the wall of a building nearby.

"Stop this." Said Ethan standing up straight.

"If Rory hadn't threatened me none of this would've ever happened." Said Jesse as Carly and Benny went by his side.

"What is wrong with you?" Asked Rory

"Too many things to count. Benny and Carly get rid of them." Said Jesse as both of them stepped forward and smiled.

"Benny. Carly. Don't do this, take control." Said Sarah as they cracked the bones in their necks.

"Carly and Benny are gone. We are in control now." Said Carly as Benny shot a fireball out of his hands and hit Ethan straight in the chest. Ethan went flying backwards and hit the side of a car.

"Run!" Yelled Benny's grandma as everyone got in their hiding spots. They ran behind cars that were parked on the side of the road as Benny kept shooting fireballs and Carly was throwing bricks. Sarah helped Ethan behind the car he was thrown into.

"Are you okay?" Asked Sarah examining him as another fireball flew above their heads.

"I'm fine. A little banged up, but fine." Said Ethan grabbing Sarah's hand.

"I was so worried about you. Me almost killing you was bad enough but then you got kidnapped, were made to kill someone and almost killed all of us. I don't know what I would've done if…" Said Sarah as Ethan's lips touched hers. Then he lifted his face leaving one hand on Sarah's face while looking into her eyes.

"What was that for?" Asked Sarah

"I just wanted you to calm down." Said Ethan smiling as he kissed her again.

"How about you guys get out of your love trance and help us come up with a plan." Said Rory as Ethan and Sarah grouped together with Benny's grandma, Erica and Rory behind a dumpster.

"I think I have an idea." Said Benny's grandma

"Would you like to share?" Asked Rory

"Benny dropped the Cubile Animus when he got possessed, I can see it from here but I won't make it if fireballs are being thrown at me…" Said Benny's grandma

"So you want us to distract Benny, Carly and Jesse?" Questioned Sarah

"Yeah and then I can get the box." Said Benny's grandma

"I call dealing with Carly!" Said Rory

"I guess I'll deal with Jesse." Said Sarah

"And I'm dealing with Benny." Said Erica

"What about me?" Asked Ethan

"You can rest and heal up." Said Benny's grandma, "Ready?"

"Let's do this." Said Rory as everyone split up.

"Carly, come and get me." Yelled Rory as she turned in his direction.

"Ah!" Screamed Carly as she rushed Rory. She tried to tackle him but he got ahold of her and slammed her back against the nearest wall, blocking her movement.

"You really suck at this." Said Rory as she clawed at his wrist.

"Benny listen…" Said Erica as she dodged a fireball, "We're your friends, not your enemies."

"Benny can't hear you." Said Benny giggling as he shot Erica into a mini van, leaving a very large dent.

"You are very annoying, you gaseous freak." Said Erica baring her fangs as she launched herself at him. She got close when she realized she was floating. Erica glanced down at Benny and noticed he was doing something that kinda looked like the force from Star Wars.

"You want to know something." Said Benny in a sing-songy voice.

"I'm not going anywhere, so tell me." Said Erica trying to get back to the ground.

"Benny's jealous." Said Benny

"Of who?" Asked Erica

"All of you. He knows all of you are gonna stay the same age while he grows up. You'll get stronger while he gets weaker. Benny doesn't want to die alone." Said Benny as he slammed Erica back to the cement leaving and even bigger hole.

"You're lying." Said Erica

"Am I?" Asked Benny smiling

"That witch better hurry up." Said Erica launching herself at Benny once again.

"Hello again." Said Sarah throwing a punch at Jesse which he caught.

"Miss me?" Asked Jesse catching her arm and pinning her against the wall.

"Not really, no." Said Sarah

"Maybe I should just kill you..." Said Jesse putting a stake to Sarah's throat, "Then that will be one problem out of the way."

"Not so fast." Said Benny's grandma appearing near Ethan with the Cubile Animus in her hands. While everyone was distracted she ran over and collected the box.

"Why do you always have to get in my way, MaryJane?" Asked Jesse who knew her first name while no one else did.

"Breaking up with me and almost killing me all those years ago might have something to do with it." Said Benny's grandma

"You dated Jesse?" Asked Sarah, Erica, Rory and Ethan all at the same time.

"It was a long time ago and not important. What is important is getting rid of the vampires." Said Benny's grandma opening the box.

"MaryJane don't." Said Jesse

"Nothing you say is going to stop me from doing this, especially because my only grandson is possessed." Said Benny's grandma whispering the spell. Jesse's henchmen all started seizuring. Then Carly started shaking as Rory let go of her neck, and backed up. Benny was the last to seizure, the vampire in him was a strong one but even the strongest couldn't fight this.

"No!" Yelled Jesse as Sarah and Erica ran from their positions and grabbed ahold of him once again.

"Followers protect me!" Yelled Jesse as none of them moved to rescue him.

"They're no help to you now." Said Benny's grandma as smoke bellowed from the possessed and into the Cubile Animus.

"You son of a…" Said Jesse struggling in the girl's grasp.

"It's time for you to listen to me." Said Rory interrupting Jesse as Ethan grabbed his hand.

"Let me do the honors, please." Said Ethan

"Of course." Said Rory handing the knife over to Ethan.

"You don't have the guts." Said Jesse

"Oh I do." Said Ethan shoving the knife into Jesse's stomach while he twisted it, "That is for you making me a monster, for your mind control and for you hurting my friends."

Ethan twisted it a little more so Jesse felt some more pain as he yanked it out and handed it back to Rory, "Jesse you are not allowed to return to town or you die. If you even take step inside the borders you will collapse in pain."

"Rory…" Said Jesse

"Leave or die!" Yelled Rory

"Alright I'll leave but there's one more thing I have to do." Said Jesse getting to his wobbly feet.

"And what is that?" Asked Sarah

"This." Said Jesse using his speed to pick Benny up by his collar. Benny was half awake but awake enough to see Jesse's expression, and it was frightening.

"Even if you kill me, you're still going to lose." Whispered Benny

"I might lose but at least I can take you with me." Said Jesse as he gave Benny a once over and then sunk his fangs into Benny's neck.

"No!" Yelled Erica as the whole group stepped forward, stopping at Jesse's raised finger.

"Ahhh…" Gasped Benny as he tried to push Jesse off but he didn't have the strength to even make Jesse budge.

"Shoot a spell him or something." Said Ethan looking at Benny's grandma.

"I can't they're too close to one another. If I shoot anything at Jesse it will hit Benny." Said Benny's grandma watching in horror.

"Mhm mhm mhm just as delicious as I remember." Said Jesse wiping his lips. He dropped Benny on his back and there was no movement, no movement at all.

"Benny!" Yelled Erica running to his side as Jesse backed up, smiling.

"He's gonna die." Said Jesse as Erica looked up at him with tears, "I took too much, Benny's not gonna make it. So are you gonna let him die or make the decision he made for you."

Everyone turned and looked at Ethan as he stared down at his feet.

Jesse began to talk as he winced in pain, "Well this goodbye. I'll be seeing you all very soon."

"You can't return to town, Jesse." Said Rory

"I might not be able to return right now but eventually one of you will screw up or I will find a way. And when I do all of you will die." Said Jesse vanishing as his laugh echoed through the streets.

"Benny!" Said Erica trying to shake him awake. The others run to his side with tears in their eyes.

"Can't you use a spell to heal him?" Asked Sarah

"We can't heal supernatural wounds." Said Benny's grandma

"Ethan can heal the wound up, right?" Asked Erica

"I can try but I've only done it once and Carly had enough blood where she could function. I don't know how much Benny has, it could kill him. I know it heals the outside cuts but I'm not sure if it would return the blood he's lost." Said Ethan

"Try." Said Erica

"Are you guys sure?" Asked Ethan as everyone nodded their heads.

"Do it." Said Sarah

"Alright here goes nothing." Said Ethan putting both hands above Benny's heart, one on top the other. He focused and felt a sizzle, like electricity, come from his palms and travel into Benny. As Ethan kept his eyes closed and focused everyone else watched in amazement as the wound stitched itself back up. Skin pulled and stretched and after a few seconds everything looked good as new, all that was left was some dried blood on the surface. Ethan then lifted his hands and opened his eyes, hoping to see Benny alive and well but there was nothing. His wound was gone but his body still laid there, cold.

"Did it work?" Asked Benny's grandma

"I don't know." Said Ethan

"Benny you have to wake up, please." Said Erica as tear fell and hit Benny's cheek, "I need you."

"Erica…" Said Sarah

"No. He's gonna wake up." Said Erica never taking her eyes off Benny, "Benny please, don't leave me."

"Erica…" Said Benny's grandma

"I wou...ld nev...er leave you, any of you." Whispered Benny as his eyes fluttered open.

"I knew you'd be okay." Said Erica giving him a hug as he looked up at Ethan.

"Thank you, buddie." Said Benny smiling

"That's what best friends are for." Said Ethan as he squeezed Benny's hand.

"He's gone Benny, he can't return." Said Rory

"Finally." Said Benny as everyone laughed a bit.

"Benny." Said Benny's grandma

"Grandma, you're okay." Said Benny leaning forward and giving his grandma a well needed hug.

"Everyone's okay." Said Sarah

"Well everyone except Carly who is still unconscious over there." Said Rory pointing to her.

"She'll be fine. I was fine until Jesse bit me." Said Benny slowly getting to his feet.

"What do we do now?" Asked Erica as she helped Benny up.

"We take Carly home and then we get some sleep." Said Benny's grandma

"I'll take her home, she knows me the best." Said Ethan walking over and picking Carly up, bridal style.

"Alright let's go home." Said Sarah as everyone else went one way, and Ethan went the other way.

He didn't really know where she lived so he tried to wake her, but did not succeed. So he wandered about till he caught her scent at a house across from where he was standing. He walked up to the front door and set her next to the door. As he turned to leave she grabbed his wrist.

"Will I see you again? Any of you?" Asked Carly in a quiet voice.

"I thought you'd never want to see us again after everything that has happened tonight." Said Ethan

"You guys are different. I might of almost died and was possessed but I'm not afraid of any of you." Whispered Carly

"Now that you have seen what goes bump in the night, you probably have many questions." Said Ethan as Carly nodded, "You can come hang with us whenever you want, as long you tell no one our secret."

"I would never." Carly whispered

"I know you wouldn't. We'll see you soon, goodbye Carly." Said Ethan ringing the doorbell as he heard footsteps on the other side of door. Ethan vanished and hid behind a bush as her father and mother opened the door. When they saw Carly her father carried her inside as her mother gave one more look at the yard, closing the door quickly.

*A Few Hours Later*

Ethan made up an excuse as to why his parents passed out at the same time and everything else. Rory went home to rest, Benny fell asleep in his room with Erica by his side, Benny's grandma made sure the Cubile Animus and the sword were hidden where no vampire could find it and Sarah waited for Ethan as he walked out his front door.

"So what'd you say happened?" Asked Sarah as Ethan walked up to her.

"Just that carbon monoxide had leaked into the house enough to knock them out without any health concerns. Jane didn't really believe me but I tried." Said Ethan

"I was really worried for you." Said Sarah giving Ethan a hug, hiding her face in his shoulder.

"I know. But everything is okay now. I'm back, and everyone is safe." Said Ethan

"But Ethan you're a vampire now with all these new abilities and you killed someone, you can't be okay." Said Sarah breaking away from their hug to look him in the eyes.

"I'm not, I'm really not. I killed someone and I'm gonna have live with that for the rest of my immortal life. But if you're by my side I can get through it." Said Ethan

"I love you, Ethan." Said Sarah

"I love you, too." Said Ethan as he leaned down and gave Sarah a kiss.

Meanwhile in Benny's room, Erica and Benny were sitting on the bed together.

"These past few days you have almost died twice." Said Erica

"Yeah it's been crazy." Said Benny

"Why did our lives have to get so complicated?" Asked Erica

"If they weren't complicated, we'd get bored." Said Benny

"True." Said Erica as they both started laughing.

"Do you think Jesse will come back?" Asked Benny

"He might but it won't be for a long time." Said Erica

"Good...that's great." Said Benny

"Hey Benny, do you remember anything you said when you were possessed?" Asked Erica

"I remember a few things but it's kinda blurry, why?" Asked Benny

"Oh no reason." Said Erica

"What did I say?" Asked Benny

"Possessed you said that you were jealous of us because you weren't a vampire. That you didn't want to die alone." Said Erica

"Possessed me wasn't lying." Said Benny

"Benny…" Said Erica

"All of you are going to live until the end of time or until you get bored. I'm gonna grow old and die from some dumb disease while you are partying every night." Said Benny getting off the bed.

"Being a vampire ain't what it's cracked up to be, Benny. Yes we don't age, we're faster, stronger and look awesome but it has its downsides. There are hunters, the blood lust, dealing with all your family dying and other difficulties. Ethan was turned against his will and he is having a hard time, you should be there with him." Said Erica getting off the bed after him.

"There might be difficulties but I'd rather live forever with my best friends then grow up alone. When Ethan was human with me at least I had my best friend and you guys being vampires didn't bother me. But now that I am the only one, it's weird." Said Benny

"Benny look at me." Said Erica grabbing his face in her hands, "You are a wizard. You can throw fireballs and use the force, you want to give all that up to be a monster? To be someone who hides in the shadows and could kill someone if you got too hungry. Do you really want that?"

"If I got to be with my friends forever then I would." Said Benny

"Benny are you sure?" Asked Erica

"I'm sure." Said Benny tilting his neck to the side.

"There's no going back." Said Erica

"I know." Said Benny

"I love you, Benny." Said Erica has her fangs extended.

"I love you too." Said Benny as Erica's fangs sunk into Benny's neck.

From then on Benny, Ethan, Erica, Rory and Sarah would live forever and protect one another. Always waiting for Jesse's return.

The End!
