Ahh! I pretty much abandoned this story. I am so sorry! I'll try my best to not take so long next time. I was looking back on Forbidden Love Etharah and I cringe at the first chapter. I should've been banned for writing like that! Anyway, here's chapter 8. I hope you enjoy it!
Ethan's Pov
I knew it. She was back. I turned around and looked at who was there.
"Hey Anna." She smirks and comes closer to me.
"Did you miss me?" I cross my arms and glare at her.
"Of course not. Didn't even give you a thought." She looked hurt. Well, fake hurt anyway.
"That hurts me Ethan. It really does." She puts her hand on her chest. I roll my eyes.
"How are you even alive? Last I saw, Grandma Weir kicked your ass and killed you." She scoffs.
"Weren't you unconscious for that?" I roll my eyes.
"Whatever. How are you here?" She then starts to come closer and is trying to be sexy.
"I'm a thousand years old. And I'm a witch. Did you really think some old lady could get the best of me?" I sigh and glare.
"How did you know that I was alive?" I walked toward her very menacingly.
"Because you attacked Gab. She told me a thousand year old vampire tried to turn her." She glares at me, but she's scared.
"But it didn't work, now did it?" It was my turn to smirk.
"I just didn't feel like turning her." I laugh. Really?
"That's your excuse? I know that only a Noblest vampire can turn her. Which I am one." After I said that, her expression changed. She was completely terrified.
"It's impossible! They're extinct. Besides, I turned you and your parents are human!" I know that. It still doesn't make sense to me.
"I know. But that means Noblest vampires are stronger than any vampire. Including you." She growls and flashes her fangs at me. She then starts running and tries to attack me. On instinct, I dodge her and then grab her by the throat. I start choking her.
"Ethan…" My eyes go black and red, then I smirk. My hand starts to go into her chest.
"Told you." She starts to cry. And she starts begging. I was about to rip her heart out, but she looked at me.
"I'll… do… anything…" I bring her face closer to mine, and make my voice very threatening.
"Never. Go after. My friends. Or Gabriella. Again." That last word my voice echoed and she was terrified. She nods.
"I swear…" I let her go and pull my hand away. She starts to cough and puts her hand on her chest. I then start licking her blood off my hand.
"Nice catching up with you. But now I have to go. Don't bother me again." I then start to walk away. I smirk. Never mess with me.
Gabriella's Pov
Ever since I got kidnapped, no one has let me out of their sight. I appreciate it, but it's kind of tiring. I start to get dressed and I start to brush my hair and teeth. Once I'm fully dressed, I open my door and my mom is there.
"Mom!" She puts her hands up in surrender.
"I'm just making sure that you're okay." I sigh and look at her.
"I'm fine. You don't have to keep treating me like a child." She raises her eyebrow.
"Okay. I know I'm technically a kid, but I mean like a younger child." She sighs.
"I know. I'm just worried you'll be gone again." I sigh and nod.
"Okay. I'm sorry. But, I need to get to school." She nods. I kiss her cheek and grab my backpack and I head off to school. It still surprises me that I'm not dead. Or undead for that matter. I've never heard about those types of vampires. I want to ask Sarah, but she doesn't know that I know about her and her friends. I hate this. I'm the reason they broke up. I didn't want it to be like this. I didn't want them to break up because of me. I feel awful about this. I see Rachel and I go up to her.
"Hey Rach. I need to talk to you." She nods and we go somewhere private. I brought her there and I put my head down.
"What's up?" I sigh and look at her.
"Remember the guy who I have a crush on, but he has a girlfriend?" She nods.
"Oh, the one with his really cute friend?" I look at her. She has a thing for Benny? Aww.
"Yes. Well, I did something bad." She looks at me.
"What did you do?" I sigh and then I start to cry.
"I… slept with him." She looks at me with her eyes wide. She was in shock.
"What?!" I made her lower her voice.
"Are you insane?!" I pace back and forth. She doesn't think I feel guilty?
"I know okay? Gosh, we didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. His girlfriend found out, and she dumped him. It's all my fault." She doesn't even know what to say.
"But this is something you would never do. You told me you wanted to have your first time in college." I sigh and just shake my head.
"I got it. I just, I don't know. Nothing pulled me back. I should've pulled away, but I didn't. I'm a homewrecker." She looks at me.
"Were they having problems before you slept with him?" Yes. She was hunting him, but she didn't know that.
"Yeah. They were." I feel like Rachel is disappointed in me. That's worse than being mad.
"What kind of problems?" Well, for starters they're vampires and me and Ethan have a connection. Oh, and she doesn't know I know their secret. But, I can't say that.
"She was having some issues going on in her personal life. I don't know the details, but it wasn't good." She rubs her forehead. Man, I wish I could say something. But it's not my secret to tell.
"Okay. So, they were having problems. But yet, you still slept with him?" I start to cry. I felt so bad for doing that. I honestly don't blame Sarah if she hates me.
"I know okay? God, I'm trying to stay away from him. So that this never happens again. I feel so bad." She sighs and hugs me.
"Look, that's messed up. But, I'm here to help you. I'll make sure you stay away from him." I pull away and smile at her.
"Thank you. You're a true friend. And I need the help I can get." I nod and then Ethan walks by. He looks at me with longing, and so do I. But I turned away. Rachel is by my side and she sees Benny.
"Is it okay if I talk to Benny?" I look at her and raise my eyebrows.
"Sure. You don't need my permission. Good luck." She goes to Benny and I just watch her talk to him and they laugh. I smile. I'm glad that her love life is working out for her. But, What am I gonna do about this whole thing? I can only become a vampire when I have Ethan's blood in me. If not, then I will come back. How does that even make sense? I've never heard of that type of vampire. Since I found out his secret, I researched vampires. And what Ethan has described and from what i've seen, it's not a common vampire. That makes me scared. Sarah doesn't know she's hunting Ethan, they broke up because of me, and I can't tell the secret to Sarah. How did my life get so complicated?
Rachel's Pov
I can't believe Gab would do that. That isn't the Gab I know. Ever since she moved here, she's been different. But, so have I. I keep seeing things. Like visions or something. But I don't know how or why.
"So, have you been liking our little town?" Benny asks. I giggle and put a strand of my hair behind my ear and bite my lip.
"Yeah. It's interesting. Very different from my hometown." He looks at me.
"In a good way?" I nod. He chuckles. Wow. He is so cute! I normally never get this nervous, but I'm so nervous right now.
"Cool. Wouldn't want you to hate this town." I look down and look at him.
"Well, I see a few things I like." He looked at me shocked. He acts like he's never been complimented or liked or something.
"I-I mean I like plenty of things about this town. T-the school is nice and people are very kind." I chuckle nervously.
"Right. Yeah." Damn. Why am I so awkward? I sigh and grab his arm.
"I'm sorry, I-" My vision goes blurry, and suddenly I know longer see anything.
I see Benny running away from something. He's mumbling some words, but it's not working. Then, a creature emerges with black and red eyes and long sharp teeth.
"P-please" He said something, but no words came out. It almost looked like a name. But, I couldn't read his mouth.
"Hehe. I'm going to enjoy killing you." The voice was low and growling. And it echoed.
"Please, don't." Then the creature smiled and pounced on Benny. Then, everything went black.
I was snapped back into reality and I saw Benny looking at me, shocked.
"Are you okay?" I look at him and clear my throat.
"Y-yeah. Sorry, I zoned out for a second." He looks around and grabs my hand.
"Come here." I look confused and he starts pulling me somewhere private.
"Where are we going?" He looks at me and smiles. We're in one of the empty classrooms and he closes the door.
"Okay. I need to show you something." I look at him, confused.
"Okay… What?" He says some random words and the next thing I know there is a dog on the table.
"What the fuck?!" How did it get there randomly? He jumps.
"Okay. I-" I'm starting to panic, and I'm freaked out.
"How-how did that puppy get here out of nowhere?" He looks at me and grabs my hands.
"Let me explain." I started to calm down a little.
"I'm a wizard. I can cast spells. I'm actually getting better at it." Whoa. He's a wizard?
"You're kidding right? Is this a joke?" I didn't say it in a harsh way. I'm genuinely wondering.
"No. You're a seer Rachel. That's why your eyes went white. You have visions of what people are, or what is going to happen." I look down. But how? This has never happened to me before.
"But I've never had visions before I moved here." Which is true.
"It's this town. It's kind of a beacon. But, that just makes you even cooler." I blush when he says that.
"Really?" He nods then looks at me.
"So, what did you see?" I was hesitant to tell him. But, he told me his secret. So, I told him.
"I saw you running away from a creature or something and it killed you." He looks down.
"But I don't know if I can predict the future. Maybe I saw a horror movie and just imagined it was you instead." He chuckles but looks at me.
"I don't know." He looks serious. It's almost like he knew all about it.
"I mean, my best friend was a seer too. But, it stopped." I wanted to ask him why, but I could see his face that he shouldn't say anymore.
"Oh. Wow. I didn't know that." He chuckles.
"Well I don't really announce it. God, I'm gonna be in so much trouble for this." He said that last part to himself.
"Why?" I asked. He then sighs. I probably shouldn't have asked him that.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have asked." He looks at me.
"No, it's okay. It's just, I'm not the only supernatural person here." I look confused.
"Yeah. Me." He then shakes his head. He pulls his phone out.
"Sarah. Can you bring everyone? I kind of told." I couldn't hear the other line, but I could hear a yell.
"What?!" He puts the phone away from his ear.
"I know, I know. But she's a seer. Just come with everyone, okay?" He hangs up the phone. I'm even more confused now.
"Uh, what was that about?" He was about to answer, then I heard a 'whoosh'.
"Whoa!" I see three people. I only really met them once. I think their names are Sarah, Erica, and…
"Dory, is it?" He looks at me and sighs.
"It's Rory." Oops. I look at him apologetically. He looks down.
"I'm sorry." Sarah goes up to Benny and she is mad.
"What made you think you could tell her?!" She slaps his head.
"Ow! I only told her about me! Not you. You always said that if we ever tell anyone, to let you know, so we can decide if we trust them." I was so confused.
"Uhh. What's going on?" Sarah rolls her eyes and then comes at me and I hear a hiss and her eyes are golden.
"Whoa!" She has fangs? I am terrified. I gulp.
"Benny told you huh? " I nod fearfully. She then comes back and then she puts her fangs away.
"I'm a vampire. So is Erica, Rory, and…" She trails off and I could tell she didn't want to say the last part.
"A-And?" I say fearfully. She looks down and sighs.
"Ethan." Ethan? Ethan Morgan? The guy Gab has a crush on?!
"Ethan Morgan? Isn't he the guy who…" I then cut off what I was saying and looked around.
"Yes. He's a vampire too. But, right now it's best to not be near him. I've been avoiding him." I get it.
"Because of what happened?" She nods and then sighs.
"Gabriella told you huh?" I nod. I give her an apologetic look.
"Yeah. I'm so sorry. She never did that. I don't know what happened to her. But she does feel bad about it happening." She sighs and looks down.
"Can I hug you?" She nods. I go up to her and hug her. I feel her hug back.
"Thank you. Listen Rachel, you can't tell Gabriella about this." I give her a confused look.
"Why? Will it be bad if I do?" She sighs and looks down.
"It's just something we don't tell anyone, unless we know we can trust them." I nod. That makes sense.
"Okay. I hate keeping this from her, but I'll do it." What am I gonna do now that I can't tell Gab?
Sarah's Pov
I am so upset that Benny told Rachel! But, at the same time I do understand why he did. She is a seer. And he likes her. It's so obvious. After Rachel left, Benny looked guilty.
"Why did you tell her?!" He sighed and looked down.
"I-I'm sorry okay? I really really like her, and I know we can trust her. Besides, she's a seer. Maybe we can use that for the vampire you're hunting." I nod in agreement.
"That's true, I guess. But what if she tells Gabriella?" Benny sighs and looks at me.
"If she does, I'll take the blame, okay? Besides, Gabriella seems trustworthy." I gave him a look.
"She slept with my boyfriend, and I feel like she's hiding something. So, tell me how that's trustworthy?" He looks at me all defeated.
"Touche." I'm still very upset about that, but I've been focusing my anger on the vampire.
"We need to focus. That vampire can strike any time. I just need to see the pattern here." Benny nods.
"Are you sure you want to hunt this thing? I mean, what if it's a powerful vampire? And are you just doing this to get your mind off of Ethan?" I flash my fangs at him.
"Or you do you. It's cool." I roll my eyes and then think about when he might strike.
"He's been attacking in a lot of places. But, I don't know where he can strike next." Benny looked at me.
"I hate to point this out, but do you think maybe the vampire is Ethan?" I gasp and then growl at him.
"Ethan may be a lot of things. Like a cheater and a liar, but he would never hurt anyone on purpose!" Benny puts his hands up.
"Don't you remember when he turned into a vampire? He was evil!" I scoff and cross my arms.
"It was because Anna turned him. So of course he was evil. But he went back to being good." At least I thought he did. I never would've thought he would cheat on me.
"I know that. But didn't he say he had dreams of killing people?" I forgot about that.
"Well that was once. He hasn't brought it up ever since." Benny scoffs.
"Why are you still defending him? After everything he's done to you?" I know he's right. Even my gut is telling me it's Ethan, but for some reason I still believe he's innocent. I don't know why.
"The question is why aren't you defending him? He's your best friend." Benny looks down very sad.
"He attacked me, remember? Besides, what I saw… wasn't my best friend." I don't want to ask him what he saw, he looks traumatized.
"I won't ask." He nods thankfully. I've seen him a couple of times with his vampire abilities, but he never really showed them to me much. I shake my head. Back to the matter at hand. The vampire.
"I need to see if there's a connection with these attacks." I say. I hear Benny sigh and I continue to mark all the locations on my board I have in my room. What am I missing?
Benny's Pov
I'm worried about Sarah. I'm afraid she's using all her anger and hurt and pouring it all into finding the vampire. I just have a feeling it's Ethan. I really don't want to believe it, but my gut is telling me it is. After he attacked me, I don't know what to do anymore. Ethan is no longer there. He's gone. It's only a matter of time when he truly becomes what he is. But what is that exactly? He's obviously not like other vampires. But a part of me still believes that the real Ethan, the kind and caring part that everyone loves, is still in there somewhere. I need to get my mind off of this. Quick, think of something else. Rachel. I know that I shouldn't have told her, but I couldn't help it. I really really like her.
"Rachel is amazing. But what was that vision about?" She told me I was getting chased by a creature, and I died. That worries me. When Ethan had visions, it wasn't really of the future. He just saw what people were, and how to hurt them. That's all. But what Rachel saw, it almost seemed like the future. Could her powers be different from his? Maybe she's more powerful and knows how to control it. When Ethan became a vampire, his visions went away. It makes sense though. Rachel is more advanced and kind. My phone rings and I jump out of my thoughts.
"Hello?" I hear a sigh and a voice that is unexpected.
"Hey Benny." I exhale and close my eyes. It takes a lot of courage for me to hang up. And believe me I want to.
"What do you want?" I say not too harshly, but also to let him know that I'm mad at him for what he did to me and Sarah.
"I know you're mad, You have every right to be. But, I wouldn't be calling if this wasn't important." I look down.
"Fine. What is it?" I can feel him smile through the phone but he gets serious.
"Anna is back." I don't have time for this right now.
"Don't make a joke. Goodbye." Before he could say anything, I hung up. He's really going to joke about that? Anna is dead. Grandma got rid of her. I sigh and shake my head.
"Has he really gone this bad?" My best friend has to wake up and control this thing that's inside him. Otherwise, we might lose him forever.
Ethan's Pov
Why didn't Benny listen to me? Oh yeah. Because I attacked him. If I try to tell anyone, they won't believe me. I don't blame them. I wouldn't believe me either. But, I do know one person who will listen. She's avoiding me, but I'm going to try. I race to her house and knock on the door. She answers, but quickly starts to close it.
"Gab, wait! Please, I need to talk to you. It's important." She sighs and crosses her arms.
"Make it quick." I sigh and look at her.
"Remember that girl I told you about? The one who turned me, and who also died?" She nods.
"Yeah. What about her?" She raises her eyebrows.
"She's back. And she was the one who kidnapped you." Her eyes go wide.
"What?! That psycho bitch that kidnapped me is the one that turned you?" I've never really heard her swear before.
"Wow. Okay." I say. She sighs and looks down.
"So, is she gonna come after me now?" I look at her. God, she looks so beautiful.
"I warned her not to. I can be very convincing." Gab sort of nodded and then went back inside.
"Thanks for letting me know Ethan. I'll keep an eye out." As she was about to close the door, I put my hand on it.
"Gab. Can't we just talk this out?" She scoffs.
"Like I said before Ethan, no. There's nothing to talk about. It was a mistake and it's never going to happen again." When she said that, my heart started to break.
"Look. I'm sorry that this happened to you Ethan. That your normal life became ruined by this bitch who turned you. But, if I keep being with you or near you, then this whole situation will get worse. I'm sorry, but we need to stay away from each other." Then she closed the door. My heart broke and I started to cry and I sped away. I was walking and I saw a couple giggling and kissing next to me. I got angry. How could anyone be happy when I just got my heart broken? I sigh and just look down.
Kill them.
Damn it. That voice again.
No! They haven't done anything. I'm not going to kill them!
They're happy when you're sad. They need to pay for that!
I roll my eyes.
You're so dramatic.
Am I? Last I checked, I'm a part of you. So really, you're the one who is thinking this.
I'm not going to kill them okay?! And get out of my head!
You're no fun.
It was then silent. I'm insane. I have voices in my head telling me to do bad things. How am I not in a mental hospital? I sigh and take out my phone. I see pictures of Sarah before she became a vampire. Man, I fucked up so bad. I need to break this connection or whatever it is with Ganriella. But, a part of me likes it. She is the only one who didn't scream when she found out what I was. And now, I'm asking her to keep a secret that is huge and could possibly get her killed. Damn. What is wrong with me? I realized I'm in front of my house and I went in.
"Hi Ethan. How are you?" My mom asked. I still can't look at her. Her neck healed, but her screams haunt me. I can't live like this.
"I'm fine mom. Thanks." I beeline for my room and I close the door and plop on my bed. I really can't live like this. How long before I go crazy and just kill everyone I see? Why was I turned? Why am I a vampire when my parents are human? I still can't figure that out. Maybe it skips a generation? I get my laptop out and do more research.
'Noblest vampires are the strongest vampires to ever exist' I know that. I scroll past and try to find something else.
'Noblest vampires are the oldest bloodlines in existence' Come on. New information!
'Noblest vampires are descendants of Dracula' I roll my eyes. Is there anything new? I scroll past a few until I see one that I haven't seen.
'Noblest vampires are the most powerful and dangerous vampires. They can't be killed easily and can disguise themselves as humans.' I was shocked to see that. So, I'm not fully human? That doesn't make sense at all. This is weird. I read the next sentence, and my eyes widened.
"Oh my god." What I read was shocking. Everything makes sense now.
"My parents… aren't my parents."
Ooh cliffhanger! Ethan just found out that his parents aren't his parents! Anna is back! Did you guys know it was her? Or did you have no idea? I kind of made it obvious a bit. I'm so sorry for taking so long posting a new chapter. I'll try not to do that so much. What will happen next? I also want to thank MBAV fan66 for being there for me and also giving me so many great ideas for this story! But I will try my best not to take so long! Love you guys! Bye!
