After a long after school training session with Sarah and the boys I'd gone home to take a nice shower. The boys had filled water guns with holy water and even created dart guns...it was pretty awesome. I finished drying my hair so that it fell straight down to my waist, I loved my hair. I nodded satisfied with my appearance before heading towards Ethan's room. I entered and found him on the bed loading his dart gun.
"Hey bro, can I help?" I asked resting my hands on my waist. He nodded and I sat down opposite, crossing my legs.
"You just put these, in these" he instructed holding up small, sharpened pencils and yellow tubes. I nodded in understanding and started my job.
"So...you nervous about tonight?" I asked curiously. He shrugged.
"I guess, but who wouldn't be?" he shrugged. I nodded in agreement.
"Me too. Just out of curiosity, are you scared of your 'visions'?" I asked looking up at him. He sighed and paused in his actions.
"I guess, a little. But they're actually helpful. Why? Are you scared of yours?" he asked. I nodded slowly.
"Yeah, but I'm only seeing the bad memories. I saw Rory being bullied and Benny's mom leaving so you can't exactly blame me" I replied shrugging. He nodded and once again started loading darts.
"Hey, Ethan! Watcha doin'?" Our little sister asked entering the room.
"Jane, you ever hear of privacy?" he asked as she sat on the bed next to me. I smiled in amusement.
"What did you do to your Blaster?" she asked curiously. She picked up one of the darts and narrowed her eyes "What?" she asked shaking her head.
"It's just a project for school Jane, don't worry about it" I replied, not stopping with my dart creating.
"Look you know how this works. Either you tell me what's really going on or I tell mom everything that happened last week. Everything" she said smiling smugly. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine! Benny, Emma and I are going to the new vampire movie tonight" he explained. Her face lit up hopefully "And no you can't go, it's past your bedtime and the movies rated PG" he added before she could ask. She sighed disappointedly.
"So you're gonna leave me with Benny's Grandma again? No way" she exclaimed shaking her head.
"C'mon on Jane, work with me here" he exclaimed. The bedroom door opened and mom stood in the doorway.
"Hi guys, Sarah's here" she said. I nodded.
"Wow, mommy. You look so pretty" Jane exclaimed innocently...she was such a kiss ass.
"Thank you sweetie. Is that a school project?" Mom asked shooting us a curious look after noticing the dart's and water gun.
"Pretty much" I replied shrugging. She nodded and left the room, closing the door as she left.
"I'm listening, make this good" Jane said turning back to Ethan.
"Err...dishes for a month. I'll do your math homework and...play dance, dance revolution with you?" he offered hopefully. Her eyes widened.
"Wow, this must be serious" she said. I nodded.
"You have no idea" I muttered finishing off the last dart.
"So, deal?" he asked. She nodded and shrugged before holding out her hand.
"Deal, plus twenty bucks" she said. He shook his head.
"What?"
"Mom!" She shouted. Ethan jumped.
"Ok, ok. Wow, you are devious" he said rolling his eyes in annoyance. She shrugged innocently.
"Dad says I'm enterprising" she replied before hopping off the bed and leaving the room. I smiled and leaned back on my hands.
"Mental note. Never underestimate vampires or eight year old girls" he muttered rolling his eyes. I chuckled.
I walked into the dining room with Ethan, Sarah and Benny. We were about to head to the Dusk III premier, and I was very very nervous. But first we had to let Jane know we were leaving "Hey Jane, we'll be back soon okay?" Ethan asked. She was sat at the table eating cereal, she always seemed to mix up her meal times for some reason.
"If we don't get sucked dry" Benny added.
"What?!" She shouted with wide eyes. I groaned and hit his shoulder.
"Nothing! Benny's just hoping he doesn't cry during the movie, because he's a wuss" Sarah reassured. He rolled his eyes.
"Nice. Anyway, see yah Grandma!" he called as his Grandmother was nowhere in the room. We were about to head out when she walked into the dining room.
"Wait. I have something for you boys" she said digging through her purse.
"No, Grandma we really gotta go. I already ate and I don't think we need any..." he paused as his Grandma turned around, holding two very sharp golden knives "Decorative knives" he finished.
"If you're gonna be battling the bloodsuckers you're gonna need these" she said. Ethan nodded with wide eyes, taking the knives from her.
"Where...where did you get those?" Benny asked.
"Spend almost a century in this town and you pick up a few things. Oh and this" she said turning back around for a moment. She turned back around with a thick, brown book in hand "Now, I've bookmarked a few spells for you. But be careful, they don't always do what you want them to when you haven't practiced" she said handing Benny the book. He took it and his eyes widened as he flipped to the first page.
"Are you a witch?" Jane asked curiously. I tilted my head, mentally questioning the same thing.
"Oh no dear, I'm an earth priestess. Very different and a lot more fun" Benny's Grandma explained. She pointed a finger to one of Jane's drawing, and to our amazement the bunny started to dance. I giggled with wide eyes and the bunny froze, returning to normal.
"Benny's Grandma rocks!" she exclaimed excitedly. I nodded and crossed my arms.
"So, you're...But...how?" Benny asked confusedly. She shrugged.
"Well I didn't wanna tell you before you were ready, thought it might freak you out. But there's a reason you're drawn to the unexplained, you have the makings of a first-rate spell-master. And Ethan here, he's a seer. That's his path" Benny's Grandma explained.
"Sweet, who's a wuss now? I'm the spell-master!" Benny exclaimed excitedly.
"Wait, what? A seer?" Ethan asked with narrowed eyes.
"Well you get visions don't you? They're supposed to start around puberty. Don't you have your big-boy hair yet?" she asked curiously. His eyes widened and I laughed.
"Grandma!" Benny exclaimed as Sarah wore an amused expression.
"Ok, fine. Here take my car" she said handing Benny her car keys "And remember, evil is always at a disadvantage. The earth is good, you're fighting on the right side" she said smiling. I nodded slowly with narrowed eyes in confusion.
"Okay...wait a minute. I get visions too, but of the past. What does that mean?" I asked nervously. Her eyes widened slightly.
"You get visions?" she asked surprised. I nodded "Well with you two being twins I'm not surprised. But unlike the boys, girl seer's don't get their powers at puberty. I thought you'd get the power around 16" she said. I nodded slightly embarrassed.
"Okay, so then when was I supposed to get my powers?" I asked curiously. She sighed.
"I don't wanna embarrass you sweetie, but female seer's get their powers once they've had their first real kiss. It unlocks the power" she explained.
"Oh" I muttered in realisation...now it all made sense. I looked up at Benny who suddenly smirked, he must've figured it out too.
"Alright. Shall we?" he asked smugly. We all nodded and made our way towards the door, Sarah taking the keys from him as we walked.
"And if you scratch my car I'll turn you into a toad!" Benny's Grandma warned. Benny chuckled nervously and we nodded before leaving the house.
