Well, people seemed to be … Idon'tknowtheword by the last chapter. I think people seemed to like it though (I hope!)
I hope this chapter isn't a letdown after the last one.
This may not be a very long chapter, but I'll try to get it as long as I can (think of this and the next one as little filler chapters in a way…)
Sorry it took me so long to update, school got in the way xP

…
Benny watched Ethan as he stood across the hall from him. Now that he knows all that's wrong with him, he avoided that thought completely.
Just solely focused on Ethan's blood. He blocked out any other vampiric feelings and just focused on the bloodlust.
And oh, how he wanted Ethan's blood.
He watched the blood move under Ethan's skin. He kept his eyes locked on the shorter boy's neck as he talked to the teacher still.
"Your fangs are showing," Rory said as he walked up to Benny, causing the tall boy to slap a hand over his mouth and look away from Ethan. Reaching in his bag, he grabbed the bottle of blood substitute that his grandma had made. Quickly taking a sip, he felt his fangs retract. Placing the bottle back in his bag, he smiled at Rory as he wiped his mouth.
"Thank you," he said, turning back to stare at Ethan, or his neck to be correct, and watch the blood move under his pale skin.
"Dude, now you're drooling," Rory said, rummaging in his locker as Benny wiped his mouth. "You should try squirrels. They're pretty good. Got a nice tangy taste to them."
"No. Nothing is good enough. I can barely swallow down the blood substitute."
"That sucks."
"Yes it does." Especially when it's not even his blood I completely want. Benny quickly shook his head and looked at his best friend, who was beginning to walk to him.
"Hey. You okay? You're looking a little… shaky."
"Yeah. I'm fine. I've got to go," he said, quickly walking away from Ethan and Rory, regretting his decision to block out all thoughts. God, I can't even be close to him without the urges to attack him in more ways than one.
This is gonna be harder than I thought.
…
As Benny walked into his house and dropped his bag by the door, he saw his grandma waiting for him.
"Heard you ran from Ethan again."
"How do you know all of this before I even get home?" Benny asked, staring at the older woman, who shook her head.
"Ethan called me. He's worried about you."
"Grandma…"
"Yes?"
"Help me. I … I want his blood so badly. It's so hard to be around him," he said, falling onto the couch dramatically. She sighed and looked at him.
"You know why. You and him are just connected that way."
"I know that! But…" he looked at her, midsentence, trying to figure out if he should tell her or not. "Why… why do I want his blood so much?" he whispered, chickening out.
"You already know the answer don't you?" she asked, staring at him. He looked at her, and knew that she knew what he realized.
"Grandma, I'm gonna have to change him aren't I?"
"Not until you're ready. But yes, someday Ethan will lose his mortality among… other things, to you."
…
Wow, that chapter was short! But I warned you it would be. Kinda a little filler chapter.
Hope it wasn't complete crap.
