Chapter 1: A new leash on life

Ok so let me start at the beginning, my name is Dakota along with my best friends Emily, Amy, Cindy, Chloe, Esamanda, Lizzy, Mimi, and Mabel. All of us have been living in a small town called Whitechapel for about a month now, and after stopping Jesse a real vampire cult leader from over 200 years ago from resurrecting his flock last week, the nine of us are ready for some downtime well almost all of us.


"No! No magic." 14-year-old Ethen Morgan said to his best friend Benny Weir "think of it, dude! Anything we want cash, cars, candy." Benny said, "A better chance at having a love life." Emily teased, "So you only use magic spells for stuff that starts with C?" Ethen asked, "Once we were lowly high school noobs. Now we're vampire killing, spell-casting rock stars. The world is our oyster." Benny said, "Have you ever actually had oysters? Not something you want to swallow more like something you'd cough up." Ethen said,

"He's right, you know." Amy said, "Yeah, nice, nice image to start the day." Benny said, "There's the image I need." He said, pointing to a group of girls, "I know you're the see-er and all, but I can see her with me." Benny said, "Huh, smooth." Lizzy said, "Wait, isn't that Della? The girl you kissed at the Dusk screening last Friday?" I asked, "Sure is so, on a scale of one to ten, how well do you think my chances are with her?" Benny asked, "Better than you chances with Erica." Emily said, "So a ten?" He asked, "Let's go with that." Emily replied, "Just keep the magic on the down-low. Remember, life just got back to normal." Ethen said, "If you consider having three vampires as your best friends, you being a seer, and Benny being a spell-master. Then yes, everything is returning normal." Emily said.

"Would you relax I got this." Benny said, creating flowers out of thin air "Oh yeah he's got this alright." I said, "Oh, hey, Sarah." Mimi said as she saw our friend Sarah Fox "Hey, can I talk to you?" She asked, "Hey, how goes it? What's new?" Ethen asked, "If this is about a cure, I'm sorry Sarah, I still have nothing." Amy said,


oh yeah did I forget to mention that Sarah was a fledgling vampire and that vampire we defeated was her ex-boyfriend Jesse "That's not it, can I borrow 20 dollars, friend?" Sarah asked, "20 dollars? Like now? Um." Ethen said when we noticed Della crying, "awesome news, Della's dog died." Benny said, "And that's good news?" Sarah asked, "Yeah, I'm with her on that matter." I said, "Yeah." Benny said, happily, "Nice, gotta go later." Sarah said, leaving

"She said she loved my flowers, and then she said she'd do anything to bring her dog back. Anything." Benny said, "Yeah." Ethen said, "what if somebody magically brought her dog back? Can you imagine how grateful she'd be?" Benny asked, "No no, Benny, you cannot bring her dead dog back to life." Ethen said, "Won't know until we try, right?" Benny said, walking away "Benny! Stop! If Harry Potter were here, he'd smack you around." Ethen said, "This is going to be one of those clean up Benny's mess plain isn't it?" I asked, "Most likely, yes." Amy said, "I have a bad feeling about this." I said,
