Ethan was sound asleep on his bunkbed. He was then struggling in his sleep. There were painful shocks coming to his brains as short images of his sister popped into his mind.
"Ethan!" Jane screamed in his head."Ethan! Ethan! Ethan!"
At last, he shot up from his bed. Ethan came to realize something. It was Jane sending him a message through thoughts. Something wasn't right. Jane might have been in trouble.
"Jane," he mumbled. "Jane!"
His cell door opened. Two guards come into Ethan's cell, but it was so dark that Ethan couldn't see their faces.
"What do you want?" snarled Ethan.
"E, it's us," one of the guards said. The voice was so familiar. Ethan realized who it was.
"Benny! Jason!" Ethan exclaimed. He ran over and hugged them both. "What are y'all doing here?"
"We're to rescue you," answered Jason. "We would've been here earlier but…in the car, it started with Madonna's Like A Virgin on the radio…and it's magic!"
"Ugh!" gagged Ethan.
"Oh, sheesh!" said Benny. "Does every love story have to be straight-up straight?"
"I know right." agreed Jason. "Like don't you love it when I put on Benny & the Jets?"
"Yes, it's the only song that has my name."
"People think I'm leopard because of all the hickeys I got from you."
"Are we leaving or not?" whined Ethan.
"Yes, I'll disguise you." said Benny.
"Good. Jane was sending me a message in my mind. I think she's in trouble."
"Hang on, Ethan. Ikabu eetqb joi skybka!"
In the blink of an eye, Ethan's entire appearence changed. He turned into the complete opposite of himself. Blonde hair, beige skin, green eyes, and short.
"How do I look?" asked Ethan.
"Not that handsome anymore," answered Jason.
The three of them carefully walked out of the prison. Nobody suspected a thing with Ethan's unrecognizable appearence.
Finally, they got into the car. When they were five miles away, Jason said the spell, "Ujoe weuyg shanv."
Ethan's appearence changed back. He said, "Guys, I think Jane is in trouble."
"What made you think that?" asked Benny as he drove.
"She was sending me a message through my thoughts."
"Y'all can communicate with your mind?"
"Yeah, she does that when she has a nightmare. I usually calm her down that way."
"Jane is a seer just like you, Ethan," said Jason. "Maybe that's why they want her. She possesses your telepathy and works with the mind."
"Why didn't they take me instead of her?"
"Possibly because you're more in control of your powers, while Jane can barely control hers."
"What kind of plan would they need a seer for?"
"Something big," said Benny. "And horrible."
Ethan thought for a moment. "Jane had a vision when she hugged Sarah."
"Of?"
"Sarah was dying."
"Dying? She can't die."
"That's the point! It may have something to do with her."
Moments later, they reached Ethan's house. What they discovered was the front door broken down.
"Jane!" Ethan panted as he ran out of the car. "Sarah!"
The three of them ran inside to the Morgan house. They found the living room to be fine, but Sarah was on the floor unconscious.
"Sarah!" yelled Ethan. He ran to his girlfriend's side.
Slowly, Sarah awaken finding her boyfriend leaning above her. She exclaimed, "Ethan! What are you doing here?"
"I escaped!" He explained. "Where's Jane? What the hell happened?"
"I don't know! I don't know where she is!"
All of a sudden, the four of them heard moaning from the other side of the big couch. It was Jesse. He stood up rubbing his forehead.
"You!" growled Benny.
Ethan grabbed a sharp piece of glass off the floor and charged towards Jesse. The Slayer slammed the vampire against the floor holding the glass to his throat.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" commanded Ethan.
"No, Ethan." Sarah yelled.
"When did you get so strong?" asked Jesse.
"Where's Jane?" growled Ethan. Where is she?! If you don't tell where the hell Jane is, I will beat the living shit out of you!"
"I know who killed your parents."
Ethan stopped for a moment. "I don't believe you."
"Listen to me, Ethan. Stern is alive."
All of them gasped in horror once Jesse revealed his name. None of them could believe it. Stern is alive!
"How?" asked Benny.
"The Lucifractor didn't kill him," explained Jesse. "Ethan, he wanted revenge. He wanted to kill you…but your parents sacrificed themselves for you."
For a moment, Ethan froze looking at Jesse. He slowly pulled the glass away from him.
"I thought he was dead," muttered Ethan. "He came back…and he's the one after me."
"Stern was here. He took Jane."
"Where?"
"I don't know. He tried to blast her with his power, but I took it for her."
"Why?" asked Sarah.
"I had a little girl back then. She was nine years-old and her name was Rosemary. I changed her into a fledgling and she became my daughter. I didn't want her to become a full vampire. The Council found out and killed her. Jane reminded me so much of Rosemary…I almost died saving her." It brought tears to Jesse's eyes.
"Thanks," said Ethan. "I trust you now. Did you know where he took her?"
"No, we blacked out before we could see."
The phone rang. Ethan walked over to answer it. "Hello?"
"Remember me, Ethan," a scary voice answered.
"Stern!"
"I knew you wouldn't forget me. By the way, someone wants to speak to you." It was quiet for a moment.
"Ethan!" A little girl cried. "Ethan, he killed Mom and Dad!"
The voice sounded so familiar. Ethan's heart dropped into his stomach. "Jane!" He gasped.
"Ethan, he's gonna kill me!"
"I'm gonna get you, Jane! I'm gonna come get you if it's the last thing I do! Jane!"
"I hate to see a little girl cry," said Stern. "You already lost your parents and it's sad if you lost your sister."
"You touch her—you lay a finger on her, I will cut your head off!"
"You might wanna calm down, Ethan. Remember I have your sister."
"Stern, don't hurt her! You want me then take me. Not her! Just kill me dammit!"
"That's not what I want, Ethan. I want the Lucifractor back."
"How do you know I have it?"
"I was there when you found it, remember?"
A month after the Lucifractor event, Ethan returned to the building it took place. There he found it—the Lucifractor. He took and hid it from everybody.
"What's the deal?" asked Ethan.
"You come to the Rockford Aviation building and bring me the Lucifractor. No friends, no weapons, no tricks. If all goes as planned, I'll let your sister go."
"You swear?"
"I don't wanna kill a little girl, Ethan. I just want my precious gem back."
"I don't care what you want or what you're going to do with it. You have my sister and you better give her back when I give you the Lucifractor. I will find you…and I will kill you."
"See you soon…Slayer Boy." He hung up.
