11:30 PM...
Benny was sat cross legged in front of the mirror staring into it, there was no sign of Bailey and he was beginning to get scared "Okay am I the only one freaking out right now?" Benny exclaimed turning back to look at Ethan "No, I'm pretty much the same but one of us has to keep you calm" he replied, Benny rolled his eyes "I'm calm. I just don't like the fact that my girlfriend has about 20 minutes to get here otherwise she'll starve to death in a mirror world" he snapped, Ethan stared at Benny with a disturbed look
"Thanks for pointing that out Benny I didn't realise how dangerous this was" he said sarcastically "Don't take that tone with me dude I'm really not in the forgiving mood right now" Benny said annoyed "You need to calm down Benny" Ethan exclaimed, Benny sighed "I'm sorry Ethan, I just don't think I'd be able to live while knowing she's in there dying" he said in a calmer tone, Ethan nodded "I know Benny, but we have to stay calm and focus on the mirror. I wish I knew what she was doing" he said worriedly
"Me too, I can't imagine how scared she must be in there. Everything's the other way" Benny said staring at the mirror in deep thought "She's smart Benny I'm sure she'll make it" Ethan reasured trying to stay positive "I know, it's times like this I wonder why she's even my girlfriend. I mean she was hot before when she was human and then when she became a fledgling she was hotter. But now that she's a full vampire she's so gorgeous and could have any guy in our school. Why is she with me Ethan?" he asked,
Ethan sighed "Because you liked her before she was a vampire Benny, you went from her best friend to her boyfriend. No other guy can compete" he said, Benny nodded "If she doesn't come out of that mirror I think I'll go crazy Ethan. She's immortal she shouldn't die before me" he said shaking his head, Ethan's eyes widened "Now you know how she feels" he muttered, but Benny hear it "What do you mean?" he asked,
Ethan groaned but decided to tell him "Benny she's a vampire right? Well how you feel now, wondering if she'll be okay and hoping she survives. She probably feels like that everyday because she's practically indestructable and you're not. And then when Jesse hypnotized her and she nearly killed you imagine how guilty she probably feels? Heck I still hear her whimpering through the walls at night" he admitted,
Benny had turned his head by this point and his jaw had dropped "She never told me that" he whispered, Ethan shook his head "She's probably gonna kill me for telling you this but if the sun rises on vampires they turn into ash. That's why she didn't want to leave the warehouse, all the windows were boarded up and she was kind of sleeping in the darkest corner of the room. You need to know this stuff Benny, she's dealing with a lot right now and you don't even see it, just give her a break when she comes through that mirror okay?" Ethan asked,
it was the first time Ethan had ever been up front about Bailey with Benny and he was honestly surprised at how much Bailey was keeping from him "So why does she whimper at night E?" he asked curiously "Well I don't hear much but mostly it's stuff like 'I didn't mean too', 'I love you' and the most popular one is 'I would never change you'" he said, Benny shook his head
"She still feels guilty doesn't she? Every time she see's the scars on my neck add's to it" he said in realisation "Yeah but Benny she loves you and I think your the only thing keeping her sane right now, she's holding on tight and it's obvious she doesn't want to lose you anytime soon. But your gonna grow old Benny and all she can do is watch" Ethan said, Benny shook his head and chuckled "When did you turn into Yoda?" he asked, Ethan smiled "Around the time Bailey moved back in" he replied, Benny nodded and a noise caused him to turn around
"Oh thang god" he exclaimed when Bailey popped up in the mirror "Hey Benny" she greeted panting, she ran over to the mirror and knelt down "How much time do we got?" she asked nervously, Ethan glanced at his watch "5 minutes" he replied dropping next to Benny "Okay put your hands agains't the mirror, we need a supernatural connection to get you back through" Benny instructed, Bailey put her hand agains't the mirror and Ethan did the same "Sacaroth masnacaro" Benny said aiming his palm at the mirror, the edges glew bright pink and Ethan was able to grab Bailey's hand
"Come on" he exclaimed, she crawled through the mirror before tumbling off the edge of the couch and into Ethan's arms "Oh thank god" she gasped hugging him tight, they both sat up and looked at the mirror, it stayed bright pink for a few minutes before the glow dissapeared and the mirror turned normal, Benny and Ethan were in the mirror but Bailey wasn't "I've never been more glad to not see my own reflection" she said sighing, she looked up at Benny who had placed his book down on the table
"Benny" she exclaimed jumping up from the ground and running over to him, she threw her arms around his neck and her legs locked around his waist, he wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed "I'm so happy your okay" he whispered kissing the side of her head "Me too, I was so scared in there Benny" she replied nuzzling her head into his neck, Benny sighed happily and pulled back to face her "I'm so glad to see you" he said, she smiled "Same here, I love you so much" she said nuzzling her nose agains't his, he smiled and did the same
"I love you too" he said, they were both about to lean in when a coughing noise made them pull apart "Uh nice to see you Bailey, I'll be going home now" Ethan said awkwardly, Bailey giggled and got down from Benny "Thank you Ethan" she said, he nodded and turned to Benny "Nice chat" he said, Benny nodded knowingly and waved "Later E, thanks for the help" he said, Ethan waved back before leaving the house
"So what do you wanna do now?" Bailey asked loosely resting her arms around his neck "Well I wanna go upstairs and make up lost time but it's up to you really" he said smirking, Bailey rolled her eyes "Alright Mr Spell Master we'll go upstairs for a bit on one condition" she said, he nodded "You take down the mirror in your bedroom" she said, he laughed and nodded "Alright it's a deal" he said leaning down and pressing his lips agains't hers.
