Chapter 10: Help Yourself

I heard a knock at my door. I'd just fallen asleep, I mean come on! I lay there and ignored it until the door opened and Justin walked in. I could tell because he had a certain smell. He went to touch me but I grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him up against the wall.

"Keep bothering me like this and I'll eat you" I threatened looking from his left eye to his right and back again.

"Vampires don't eat people" He said in a slightly strained voice. I pulled him off the wall and back again making him yell out.

"Don't tempt me" I said letting my fangs show.

"Okay I'm sorry! Put me down its important!" He yelled. Selena opened her coffin and groaned.

"I JUST fell asleep. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE NOISE JUSTIN?" She yelled at him. I dropped him on his feet and he almost fell over.

"Sorry, sorry!" He said quickly as Selena got closer to him with an angry expression. "The cops found the mans car. They can't find him though. What happened? Was it you two?" He asked.

"It was us. Alex flashed him away with all the blood as well" Selena said.

"Why didn't you flash away the car?" Justin went hysterical as usual.

"Wha-why are you blaming me? I didn't think a car would get us into this trouble!" I complained at him.

"No! You never think, do you?" Justin yelled back.

"Enough!" Selena said. "Relax, I can wipe their memories and have everyone forget it all"

"You can do that?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I just have to get close to them" She shrugged.

"Of to prison we go" I said. "Wow, I knew it would happen but not this early…"

"We just have to go to the cops and tell them we witnessed it" Selena said simply.

"Not that simple" Justin walked down stairs, motioning for us to follow him. I looked at Selena with wide eyes and she shrugged, following him.

"What's wrong Justin? What are you talking about?" Selena asked touching him on the shoulder as he opened the door to the lair.

"Hello girls" We all stopped abruptly in front of professor Crumbs.

"Uhhh hello…. sir" I said trying to push myself behind Selena. She pushed me in front of her and we did that a few times before Justin settled us down.

"The cops will never find you" Crumbs said.

"Oh good, you're on our side" I sighed with relief.

"However"

"Oh great, there's always a 'however'" I huffed walking over to stand behind Justin again.

"However, Miss Russo and Miss Gomez, you two are not safe from the wizard council" He finished. I groaned and sat down on Dad's chair.

"Professor Crumbs, maybe there is something you can do? We need to eat!" Selena explained.

"I'm sorry Selena, but what you did was wrong. You stole a man" He apologised and with a flash he was gone.

"Awh what do we do? Justin?" I whined.

"Oh now you want my help?" He shook his head at me.

"You're my brother" I whispered.

"And you expect me to drop everything and help you?" He looked me in the eyes getting closer to me.

"Justin…"

"Alex. No. You need to learn how to fix it yourself" He walked off. I burst into tears and felt Selena wrap her arms around me.

"It's okay, we'll get through this" She rubbed my back and wiped away my tears.

"I don't know what to do" I sobbed.

"Sshh honey it's okay"
