Ethan's P.O.V
"Oh my God! This can't be happening!" I whispered to myself.
"Well at least he's taking sometime off." I heard someone say behind me. I turned around to find Rory behind me.
"Ah, Rory don't do that! How long have you been standing there?" I asked him.
"Long enough to read that note on your door. Ethan is there anything you want to talk about?" Rory asked me. I sighed, knowing I needed to tell someone.
"I'll tell you Rory, just inside my house." I told him as I opened the door, then invited him in. I motioned for him to sit next to me on the couch. (A/N for those of you who read my Jesse and Ethan Love Story FF don't worry there is NO SLASH in this story!)
"Can you keep a secret?" I asked Rory.
"Sure, Ethan!" Rory told me.
"Remember when I ran off after I found out that I could be evil?" I asked him. Rory nodded so I continued. "Well I ran into the woods and Jesse was there. He sorta asked me to join him. At that time I said no. Then at the park after the movie, I couldn't control myself around Benny. So I went to Jesse's house. Long story short I wasn't held there against my will." I told him as I looked down ashamed the same way I was the second I made the decision. I was expecting him to yell at me or something like that. I flinched as he put a hand on my shoulder.
"Ethan its ok! I would have done the same thing. But just tell me it was because you needed to learn self control." Rory told me.
"It was, and you can't tell anyone!" I pleaded.
"Ethan I won't tell anyone. But if you need someone to talk to you can talk to my about anything. Got it?" Rory asked me.
"I got it!" I said happily. I was so glad I told someone.
"What are we going to do about Jesse?" Rory asked me.
"For one thing don't tell anyone. We can handle this, and when I saw we I mean me." I told Rory.
"No Ethan your not going to handle this by yourself, I'm going to help you." Rory told me.
"Rory, Jesse is way to powerful. I don't want you to get hurt!" I told him.
"Same here Ethan! Your not going though this alone!" Rory told me.
"Fine Rory! But when you get hurt don't come crying to me!" I told him.
The Next Day School Ethan's P.O.V
Rory keeps looking out for me all day at school! He won't leave me alone!
"Rory quit doing that!" I yelled at him. Rory was eyeing one of the jocks that push me around. Today that jock shoved me into a locker. I was in there for a whole period, and Rory happened to be the person who got me out.
"No he shoved you in your locker!" Rory told me while never taking his eyes off of the jock.
"Rory look at me I'm fine! And I doubt he is working for Jesse. And besides Jesse said he wasn't going to do anything for a few days!" I told him.
"Fine!" Rory said while he stopped looking at the jock.
"Hey guys what's up?" Benny asked as he walked up to us.
"Nothing." I told Benny as I finished putting everything in my locker.
"Where were you last period?" Benny asked me. I was about to answer when Rory answered for me. "He got shoved into his locker by him!" Rory told him as he motioned to the jock.
"Ok, hey Ethan can I talk to you in private?" Benny asked me.
"Sure." I said as we walked around the corner.
"Ethan, since when is Rory so protective of you?" Benny asked me.
"What do you mean Benny?" I asked him. Hoping that it wasn't what I thought it was.
"Ethan, it looked like he was going to murder that jock who shoved you in your locker." Benny said.
"Benny I have no idea!" I lied, Rory was protective of me because of that stupid note on my door! It looked like Benny was going to say something else but the bell rang.
"See ya at lunch!" I told Benny as I started to walk to class.
Lunch Ethan's P.O.V
"Rory you need to stop trying to protect me. You look like you're going to murder someone!" I told Rory as we walked out of class. All though class Rory looked like he was going to fang everyone who came within 10 feet of me!
"Don't know what you're talking about Ethan!" Rory tried to tell me.
"Rory you looked like you were going to fang any one who came near me!" I told him.
"Ethan I'm your friend I'm worried! Jesse is a psycho!" Rory told me.
"I'm fine, Rory! Relax!" I told him. I heard him mumble a 'fine' as we walked the rest of the way to the cafeteria.
"Hey guys what's up?" Sarah asked us as we sat down.
"Nothing much." I told her as I studied my 'food'.
"Ethan are you ok?" Benny asked me.
"Ya I'm fine." I told him. All throughout school the only thing I could think of was Jesse. Benny had to go home right away to go help his grandma with something. So Rory offered to walk with me. We were about half way home Jesse appeared. Both Rory and I jumped. Rory got in front of me and barred his fangs even though I'm stronger then him.
"So you finally told someone! I had my money on Erica, but I guess Rory will do." Jesse said with a smirk.
"What are you talking about Jesse?" I asked him. Hopping against hope that it wasn't what I thought it was.
"Your secret, Ethan!" Jesse said. Rory we need to get out of here, now! I told Rory mentally. I'll try. Rory thought.
"And before you two try to escape. And even if you do Rory is going to find out!" Jesse said.
"Go ahead Jesse! I know everything about Ethan!" Rory yelled. Great! I thought to myself. Jesse please don't say! We made a deal, that I didn't break! I told Jesse mentally. When have you know me to keep a secret? And besides I'm not going to tell him that's your job Shadow! I gulped, I haven't been called that in years.
"What secret could Ethan possibly have that I don't know about?" Rory yelled at him.
"Lets just say Ethan isn't who he says he is!" Jesse said. Then he flash his fangs and left.
"Ethan what was that about?" Rory asked me. I knew I had to tell him. Once I tell him he'll know me better then Benny does.
"I'll tell you at my house, ok?" I asked him. Rory nodded and we both ran with vampire peed to my house. We walked to my bedroom. I sat down on the edge of the bed with Rory next to me.
"What did Jesse mean by you're not what you seem?" Rory asked me.
"Rory you have to promise me you won't tell anyone." I told him. Rory nodded, so I continued. You have to do this, you can do this! Rory is not going to think of you any differently! Just tell him. I told myself.
"I was a vampire, before we even meet Sarah, Erica or Jesse." I started.
"You were a vampire, but I thought there was no cure." Rory said.
"There is but it's not that simple. It's not a potion or anything like that." I told him.
"Remember when I went away for a summer?" I asked him.
"The summer between 7th and 8th grade, ya I remember. You were jumpy for a few months when you came back." Rory said.
"Well we were in Washington to visit my grandparents. Within the first day of being there I meet Jesse and his 'friends'." I told him while putting air quotes on friends.
"You were friends with Jesse!" Rory asked me.
"I was. He was pretty cool and dangerous. I thought it would be nice to have a friend like him while there. Jesse accepted me pretty quickly. After a week, he invited me to him house. Like here, he lived alone in a huge house. That day he told he was a vampire. Of course I didn't believe him. That is until he barred his fangs. I was pretty scared but also a little excited." I told him.
Ethan's Story Ethan's P.O.V
"You're a vampire! But vampires aren't real!" I said nervously.
"If I wasn't a vampire I would have a reflection." Jesse told me as he stepped in front of a mirror. I looked at the mirror, I only saw myself.
"What are you going to do to me?" I asked nervously as I backed away.
"Turn you. I see potential in you Ethan." Jesse told me, while studding me.
"What if I don't want to be a vampire?" I asked.
"Ethan, what about all those jocks who hurt and make fun of you? Wouldn't you want to show all those people a lesson?" Jesse asked me. I had to think about that. I wouldn't mind teaching then a lesson.
"And I don't even need to mention the power and strength that comes with being a vampire." Jesse said.
"Do it!" I told Jesse. Jesse grinned, then walked over to me. He put one of his hands on my shoulder, and the other on the side of my head. Jesse then put his mouth to my neck neck and bit me.
Back To Reality Ethan's P.O.V
"After that day, I became apart of Jesse 'gang'. I was his right hand man. I became consumed with evil, as time went on. I did a lot of bad things, that I rather not talk about." I told him. I shuttered at the memory. Remember Ethan you are no longer Shadow!
"Jesse and I were doing a little mission. We were to attack a group of vampires and werewolfs. When we were done, the counsel summoned us. They were pretty mad. It turned out we were set up, we had killed the vampire king. (A/N sorry if it's weirded I need something big!) So the counsel punished us. They made me a human again." I told Rory.
"What happened to Jesse?" Rory asked me.
"He lost his memory. So he wouldn't remember me." I told Rory.
"Then why does he remember now?" Rory asked me.
"Everyone in Jesse's 'gang' got a magical tattoo. The reason no one has ever seen it, is because Benny's grandma knows. I was at Benny's house. I had bent down and she saw it on my back. That's when she told me I was a seer, Benny was a spell master, and that she is an earth prissiest. I begged her not to tell anyone, because when I was changed back to a human I wasn't evil anymore. So she put a spell on me so that no one can ever see it. Apparently when I became a vampire again the spell wore off." I told him.
"Can I see it? And what's a magical tattoo?" Rory asked.
"Yes and you don't use a needle you use magic." I told him as I took of my shirt and showed him the tattoo. It was a flying bat with open wings. With a symmetrical design at base of body. It was on the right side of my back.
"That is so cool!" Rory said.
"Rory!" I yelled as I hit him upside the head. Then putting my shirt back on.
"Sorry dude but it is kinda cool! Don't you have like 2 tattoos now because of Jesse?" Rory asked. I sighed, Rory was right! Did I just think that?
"I can't believe I'm saying this but Rory you're right." I told him.
"Wait Jesse knows again because he saw that tattoo?" Rory asked. (A/N Heads up I'm making Rory even more protective!)
"Ya." I told him.
"Wait that means he saw you with your shirt off!" Rory yelled. I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Relax Rory!" I told him.
"Tell me what happened then!" Rory said.
"Fine. I'm telling you it's nothing!" I told him.
Ethan's Story Ethan's P.O.V 3 Day Jesse's
I was leaning over picking up something. Jesse and I had just finished some training so my shirt was off. I didn't hear Jesse walk in.
"Shadow?" I heard Jesse say. I froze, that was one of my fear when I decided to come. I heard Jesse walk over to me, so I straitened up. Which gave him a better view of the tattoo. Crap! He totally remembers! I thought to myself.
"It is you. See once I saw that tattoo I knew it you." Jesse said. I didn't respond so Jesse continued. "I knew there was something familiar about you! So you turned to a life of good and back to a geek." Jesse said. I turned around to look at him.
"When you turned me you did something to me! You made me evil!" I yelled at Jesse.
"What make you think that Shadow?" Jesse asked. I growled at him, and I felt my eyes change.
"Don't. Call. Me. That! I'm not him anymore! And I know that because when you first bit me I was as evil as you! And now I'm not!" I yelled at him.
"Referring to yourself in the 3rd person are we? No matter what happens, you will always be Shadow!" Jesse told me.
"Look you can't tell anyone!" I told Jesse.
"Who going stoping me? You?" Jesse asked.
"Jesse please I'll do anything!" I regretted it the second I saw that evil grin on Jesse face form.
"Anything?" Jesse asked. Why did I just say that?
"Yes, just don't tell anyone about Shadow." I told him.
Back To Reality Ethan's P.O.V
"What was your part of the deal?" Rory asked me.
"I sorta have to do what he says." I told Rory.
