This was one of my favourites to write and I really hope you all love this as much as I loved writing it. Please let me know what you think! I promise to update soon!
Rose and Benny were lying back on Ethan's bed as Ethan rummaged through his closet. "How about this one?" he held up a button up plaid shirt.
"You still wear plaid?" Benny remarked crossing his arms and looking at Rose for backup. Ethan was trying to figure out what he was going to wear to the Fly Off to the Moon Dance, which was tomorrow.
Rose looked at Ethan who was holding the shirt up, "well I think plaid is nice."
After a few more shirts Benny sat up having given up, "that's it we are renting tuxes."
Ethan went to reach for something in the top of his closet, when a small box fell down and Ethan picked it up. He made his vision face and then looked extremely worried. "Benny, what is this doing in my closet, I told you to put it somewhere where no one would ever find it."
"Have you seen your closet?" Benny retorted.
"I had a vision, when we dug up the Cubile Animus something got out or someone, Jesse" Ethan looked increasingly concerned.
"We totally vanquished him" Benny yelled.
"Yeah then somehow we unvanquished him"
Rose was getting worried now, "who the hell is Jesse?'
They both looked at her, "oh yeah that happened before we met. Jesse was a really bad vampire, the one that changed Sarah" Ethan grimaced at his name.
The boys looked at each other then ran outside with Rose trying to keep up. When they got to the backyard and saw that there were footprints leading away. Benny started freaking out "we are so dead, we are going to be wearing a tux to our funerals, maybe we should but instead of rent."
"We have to find Sarah" Ethan freaked
"I'm too young to die!" Benny screamed shaking Rose's arm, that's when Sarah showed up out of nowhere.
"Jesse's back" Sarah and Ethan yelled in unison.
"How did you know?"
"He just proposed to me" Sarah proclaimed frowning
"At least someone knows you exist" Rose murmured under her breath.
"Okay well Jesse wants us to meet tomorrow night at 9" Sarah looked down at her phone.
Benny groaned "but tomorrow is the dance"
Rose nudged him "don't worry we will be there" she assured.
The next day
Rose was ready for the dance; it's all she could think about for the past few weeks. She also couldn't forget about it because that's literally all Benny could talk about. All Rose's friends had decided to go alone, partly because it was easier to hunt Jesse that way. Partly because Benny thought it would help their chances with the ladies. Rose slipped on her dress; it was floor length with a straight across chest that led up to small sleeves. It really showed off her chest. It was fitted to the waist and flared out like a ball gown. It was black that flared out to white at the bottom. Her hair fell down around her in beautiful ringlet curl. She was wearing a small amount of makeup and the pendent Benny gave her for her birthday.
Benny and Ethan were already at the dance waiting on Sarah's cue. Benny was downing punch when Rose arrived, "hi guys" Rose smiled walking up to them smiling sweetly. When Benny saw her, he was absolutely speechless this was impressive for Benny. She walked up and touched his arm "wow Benny you look…handsome" Ethan tried not to laugh and motioned that he would wait at the door. Rose shook Benny's arm a little jolting him out of his daydream.
"Rose you look…incredible, I mean seriously gorgeous."
Rose turned a whole new shade of red "Benny Weir when did you become so charming?" Benny scratched his head and a slow song came over the speakers. "I love this song" Rose smiled, "I'm going to get some punch, I will be right back."
Heart beats fast,
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
Benny took a deep breath and walked over to Rose "let's dance" he said taking her hand and leading her onto the dance floor. He put his arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
"Benny I never knew you were so romantic" he just blushed and smiled at her with that grin that made her heart melt.
Time stands still
Beauty and all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me?
Every breath, every hour
Has come to this
Rose leaned in tightening her grip on his neck, and putting her cheek against his and began to whisper the song in his ear.
All along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Benny knew she was only singing the song but his heart skipped a beat none the less. He gave her a twirl around and when he brought her close again, he cupped her face in his hand and began to lean in. Rose did the same but she tripped and fell taking him down with her. Rose had landed on top of Benny their faces only inches apart. "This is just like in the movies" Rose grinned and laughed small.
"Then why don't we do what happens in the movies" he leaned in filling the gap between them, their lips brushing.
Rose grinned "okay then" then she got up.
Benny looked disappointed "why did you get up?"
"Because they never kiss in those scenes" she chuckled helping him up.
Ethan ran up "guys Jesse's here" and they ran off to help Sarah.
Once they reached her they were surrounded by vampires, they weren't hard to kill. Before they could attack Jesse he grabbed Rose's wrist pulling her close to him. "You don't spell like a normal human" he looked into her eyes and she swore they looked into her soul.
"Bite me" Rose retorted hoping her wouldn't take her up on that offer.
"I don't think so, you're not completely human are you little vampire hunter?" he tightened his grip.
Benny yelled "get your undead hands off her."
"Don't worry I'm not going to bite her, she's part vampire you see, we don't bite our own."
"I'm not one of you" Rose yelled squirming.
"Maybe not but you're not fully human either" Jesse tossed her across the hall and into Benny. Then he grabbed Ethan "if you won't turn Sarah then I will turn him" then he sunk his fangs into Ethan's arm and left. Everyone gasped and Sarah did the only thing she could do, she bit him and sucked the venom out. Now however Sarah was a full vampire and she could never turn back.
