A/N: Hey, there everybody! It's me, MBAV fan66!
So, last chapter Alissa sent a dragon after the gang. Who (by the way) vanquished the vile beast of destruction just like that. *hi-five moment* So, what will she send out next to stop their advancement on her little hideaway? Who knows with her?! ;P
But once again, we'll take a sneak peak on Benny and see how he's doing thus far. And to see, Alissa's reaction of them killing her precious pet dragon, Daggeron. Hehehe!
And I'm excited about the next chapter because there'll be a little musical performance taking place in it! So, stay tuned for that whenever I update again! ;D
Shout outs to:
Bethan Forever- Yup! She won't stop until either their dead or her. That's Rory for yah! Always willing to try new and exotic things! Lol! Even if they are a bit dangerous or are stupid ideas sometimes. Lol! :P It's fine. I've actually been a bit of a procrastinator lately here myself, so my stories haven't been getting updated as often as they probably should be. Hehehe! ;P
Fashiongoddess102- Not sure if you read this story or not, but I'm leaving you a shout out on here, regardless! :) So, thank you for favoriting me as an author! :D
Louise- Thanks! I'm glad you like it! And thank you for the review, too! :)
TiredOfBeingNice- That's ok, fanfic buddy! I forgive you! :) Yep! She sure does! I wish I could just post a pic of what he looks like instead of having to write out the description. It's much harder to write out to try and give the readers a better idea of how to imagine what it looks like. Why thank you, fanfic buddy! *blushes* I'm glad that you liked my little fight scenes. *blushes again from shyness* :) Hopefully, this time you'll get the notification for this update on time and what not. :P
Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's A Vampire or any of it's characters. I do own this story, it's plot, and Alissa.
Laughter could be heard in the small room, as Benny laughed is heart out at Alissa's failed attempt to kill his friends. Her once mighty and faithful pet, Daggeron had been defeated in battle by his charming prince, Ethan just like that. In his eyes it was hilarious, but in Alissa's it was pure rage.
"Hahahahaha! See! I told you that my friends can take on anything that you throw at them and survive! Even a dragon!" he laughed uncontrollably, while hugging his sides. His sides begun to hurt from laughing so hard.
Alissa snarled furiously, as she balled up her hands in a tight fist and clenched her teeth. She was seething in anger and hatred for the gang more now than ever. How dare they kill her beloved Daggeron. Her only companion in this vile world. They will pay. They will ALL pay greatly for this.
And Benny's taunting laughter about it didn't help her mood any, either. If anybody should be laughing it should be her at the deaths of his friends and his irritating boyfriend.
The spell master's laughter soon immediately stopped when a blast of magic came flying at him, just narrowly missing his head after he quickly dodged out of the way of it. He looked at the scorched mark that it left on the wall behind him with a somewhat fearful expression on his face, before turning to face Alissa (who was smirking at his reaction).
"Maybe now you'll think twice about ever laughing at me, again...spell master." she taunted smugly, earning a harsh glare from the spell master, but Benny's look didn't phase her. Instead, she only grinned a toothy grin at him. "You know, I didn't have to let you watch how it'd all play out, you know? I was only being nice and thought that you might've wanted to witness your friends downfall, instead." gloated Alissa proudly.
Benny huffed at her with a small satisfying smirk on his face at her words. "Yeah, except instead of me witnessing their downfall, you were the one who witness the downfall of your beloved pet at the hands of my friends, instead." chided Benny.
Alissa let out a growl at the spell master, wanting to strangle him for his snide little comment, but instead closed her eyes and took a calming breath to regain her composure. Once she did, she smiled wickedly at him. This made Benny feel slightly uneasy at what she had up her sleeve now for the gang.
"No matter." she said coolly. "What I have in store for them next will surely leave them all...'in the dark' sort a speak, for good." she hinted ominously with a wide grin. "Especially, if they're headed to where I think they're headed to next."
Benny gulped and looked at her a bit worringly, not sure what the witch had in mind. But when he saw her conjure up a bunch of shadow like monster figures he grew really concerned and prayed that his friends and Ethan would be alright and would come out on top after facing Alissa's next deadly plan to end their lives.
Alissa chuckled darkly, as she had this sinister look on her face as she sent her shadow minions out to kill the prince and his friends.
The gang all came to a stop at the edge of some eerie looking woods, before entering. Some of them weren't so sure about entering the spooky forest.
"I don't know about this guys? Are you sure we have to go through this creepy forest?" asked Rory skeptically, with a bit of fear in his voice. "Can't we just fly over it, instead?" he suggested warily.
Ethan grinned at the scaredy vampire teasingly. "Oh, come on now, Rory! Don't tell me that a big bad vampire such as yourself is scared of the dark, are we?" teased Ethan amusingly.
The girls giggled quietly at Ethan's smart aleck remark towards Rory. Rory tried to shake it off and appear brave and fearless, but it was still slightly evident that he was afraid.
"N-no! Of course, I'm n-not afraid!" he stuttered out. "I-I'm Vampire Ninja after all!" he boasted trying to sound brave. "And whoever heard of a vampire being afraid of the dark, anyways?!" he laughed nervously.
Of course, no one was really buying the brave act. They all knew that he was scared to enter the really dark forest. "Rory. It's ok, if you're afraid. I mean...it is really dark in there. And there's no telling what we may encounter along the way, also." replied Sarah, trying to reassure the frighten vampire.
"I know that!" exclaimed Rory boldly, but then his posture turned more meek and timid. "It's just...I figured that it would be more quicker if we just flew over it, instead of walking." suggested Rory meekily, fumbling with his fingers as he lightly blushed.
Mrs. Weir smiled at the blonde vampire. "And that's very noble of you to suggest that, dear. But I'm afraid flying over it just isn't a option." commented Mrs. Weir genuinely with a warm smile.
Rory looked at her in confusion. "How come?" he wondered.
This time Ethan was the one to answer. "Because, the forest we're about to enter is called The Dark Forest. It's a huge forest, that covers many acres of land. Many people have been known to lose their way once entering the forest and to never return again." explained Ethan.
Rory gulped hearing how people have never returned after traveling through The Dark Forest, ever again. He certainly didn't want to be one of those people.
"All the better reason, why we should just fly over it, instead!" he suggested once again, nearly shouting and throwing his hands up to make his point.
"Yes, but like I said...it's a really large forest that covers a lot of ground. Simply just flying over would probably work for you guys if you didn't have to worry about having to carrying two humans with you, as you fly. Carrying the extra weight will only tire you out quicker, thus causing you to have to land in the forest somewhere, which isn't easy to do due to it's thick canopy. That's why the forest is so dark to begin with." stated Ethan simply.
Rory sighed in defeat, seeing the prince's point. Ethan was about to enter when he was suddenly pulled back by Erica. "Hold up, good looking!" she complimented, while haulting the prince. "I thought you said that people tend to get lost and never find their way out, if they go in there?" she asked curiously, as she let his arm go.
"I did! But I've been through here before and know that as long as we stay on the main path then we shouldn't get lost." answered Ethan. Erica gave a understanding nod to the prince. "But we still need to be careful. Many dangerous beasts still live here and may come after us if they're hungry enough." warned Ethan.
Rory's expression then turned to more of a worried and terrified one. He really didn't want to go through that forest, but if it's the only way to get to Benny then he'll do it.
Erica saw the frighten look upon her boyfriend's face and took his hand in her's. She gave it a light sqeeze, as he looked down at it and then back up at her, to see her smiling a warm smile his way. He then felt more at ease knowing that he wouldn't be alone and that his wonderful girlfriend would be right there by his side the entire time. He returned the smile with one of his own to show that he was ok, now.
With that everyone entered The Dark Forest as they all watched their backs for what may lay in the shadows, ahead.
As they trekked through the darken forest, Rory was on edge as his eyes busily shifted back and forth on the look out for anything scary. He held Erica's hand for comfort, but not even that didn't seem to quell his nerves any.
"Relax, Rory. We're fine." soothed Erica comfortingly to her frighten boyfriend. She gave a quick peck on the cheek. "As long we stay on the path then we should be out of here in no time, babe." she added with a kind smile. Rory only nodded slowly and gave a weak one, himself.
Just then the frighten vampire thought that he saw something moving from the corner of his eye. "What was that?!" he said quickly in fear, turning his head side to side rapidly. Everyone looked at him oddly in confusion, as they didn't see whatever it was the vampire saw. He then thought he saw it again, as he whipped his head in the direction that he saw it move from. "There it was again! I swear!" exclaimed Rory frantically.
But no one else saw it. Getting frustrated that his friends didn't see anything, Rory took off after it with his fangs at the ready.
"RORY! GET BACK HERE! WE'RE SUPPOSE TO STAY ON THE PATH OR ELSE WE'LL GET LOST IN HERE! RORY?! DID YOU HERE ME?!" shouted out Erica at her boyfriend, who clearly wasn't listening.
"We better go after him." sighed out Erica, as she took off at vampire speed after him.
"Erica! Wait!" called out Sarah to her. Sarah shook her head once Erica was out of sight. She then turned to face Mrs. Weir and Ethan. "Come on. I can follow their scent. That should lead us right to them." commented Sarah disappointingly, as she lead the way with Ethan and Mrs. Weir following close behind.
Rory then came to a stop once he lost sight of whatever it was that he was chasing. Erica soon caught up to him, looking at him furiously. "What the hell, Rory?!" demanded Erica, spinning the other blonde around by the shoulder to face her.
"Erica! I swear I saw something moving in the shadows!" he tried to explain dramatically. He then heard a small crack somewhere in the nearby bushes. "See! I told you! There's something out there!" he declared, throwing his hands out to make a point.
Erica heard the noise too, but when she looked over in the direction that it had came from she saw a squirrel scurrying out of them and up a nearby tree, instead. Greatly annoyed now, she turned to face the very embarrassed Vampire Ninja with an angry glare and arms crossed, while tapping her foot at him. All Rory could do was just stand there with a sheepish look on his face, as he rubbed his arm nervously with an awkward small chuckle.
Erica rolled her eyes at him, as she threw up her hands in defeat with an 'ugh'.
Sarah, Ethan, and Evelyn then came out the bushes, finally finding the two runaway vamps. "What was all that about, Rory?" asked Evelyn curiously.
Before he could answer, Erica decided to butt in and answer the question for him. "Oh, that?! Well, apparently Rory's mystery creature that he saw and took off after for turned out to be none other than your average squirrel, is all." she answered with sarcasism laced in her voice, along with a hint of annoyance. "Typical." she mumbled, afterwards.
Rory looked down in shame, as a blush spread across his facial features. "Sorry, guys." he mumbled embarrassingly, kicking a small rock on the ground. He then looked up innocently at them. "I really did thought there was something there, but I guess it was just my imagination getting the best of me, instead."
"That's quite alright, my friend. Fear tends to get the best of us, sometimes. We just got to remember that when we're scared to just remain calm and think rationally before acting upon your fear, Rory." advised Ethan kindly. "I was scared when I first enter these woods, too. So, I know how you feel." admitted Ethan, reassuringly with a small blush. Rory smiled slightly, believing the prince.
Not knowing what direction they had came from, they just picked a direction to go in, but unfortunately it wasn't the right one because they all got lost in the forest within an hour.
"Just great! Now we're lost!" complained Erica frustratingly, as she threw up her hands in defeat.
She then felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Ethan. "We'll be fine, Erica. Trust me." he reassurred kindly to her. But she looked at him skeptically. "I don't mean to be rude, but how can you be so sure? You said it yourself, that once people get lost in these woods that they rarely ever return." questioned Erica.
A sullen frown then appeared on the prince's face, as he didn't have an answer to that question.
A small little glowing light then suddenly appeared from the trees (as if it was answering the question for him, instead). The gang stood there mystified by it, as it came floating down to them.
Once it got closer, they could all clearly see that it was really tiny woman with wings. "Is that a...fairy?" wondered Erica, incredulously with a raised brow.
"That I am!" chirped the fairy, cheerfully and proudly. "The name's Glimmer! At your service!" she introduced happily to the gang with a friendly bow.
"It's nice to meet you, dear." greeted back Evelyn, politely to her.
"I noticed that you all seemed to be lost. Perhaps I can help with that?" pointed out Glimmer, offering to help them with their little dilemma.
"And how is that? If you don't mind me asking?" scoffed Erica rudely to the fairy.
"Erica! Be nice!" scolded Sarah to her best friend, lightly hitting her on the arm.
Ignoring Erica's rude attitude, Glimmer answered her question happily. "Well, we fairies that live in The Dark Forest know these woods like the back of our hands! And we like to help wayward travelers whenever we can get through them safel. That's why they sometimes call us the Guiding Lights Of The Forest!" she explained cheerfully with a smile.
"If that's true then...why have I not ever heard about this before?" asked Ethan skeptically.
"There's not very many of us fairies that live here. So, as a result we're not able to help everyone that stumbles into the forest and manages to get themselves lost." confessed Glimmer sadly. "You guys were lucky that I happen to stumble across you! Or else you would've been wondering around for who knows how long." she added, with her cheery demeanor returning back to her, once again.
Not sure on whether or not if they should trust the small fairy, they talked it out amongst themselves, finally coming to a conclusion that they had no other choice but to trust her. So, they did.
They followed Glimmer, as she lead the way. Rory was quite smitten with the tiny glowing girl, which didn't sit too well with his girlfriend. "You know, you do have a girlfriend?" whispered Erica to him bitterly.
Rory nodded dazedly with a goofy look on his face, as he continued to stare at Glimmer dreamily (who didn't even realize that he was staring at her like that). Furious at his response, Erica stomped on Rory's foot really hard and stormed off ahead of him.
The poor injured vampire cried out, as he hopped on one foot while holding the injured one in his hands. Everyone looked at him strangely.
"Are they ok?" asked Ethan, leaning over to Sarah's ear.
Sarah shook her head, knowing very well what was going on between the two blondes. "Yeah! They'll be just fine. Just give them a minute. I'm sure they'll get over it, eventually." quiped Sarah, with a small grin.
After a couple of hours of walking, something shot across their path making them all stop dead in their tracks. "You guys saw that this time, right?" asked Rory, this time wanting to make sure that he wasn't the only one who saw it before going after it.
Ethan, Sarah, and Erica all nodded slowly at they just stared ahead at where they saw the shadow. Just then, they saw several more and then a bunch of red glowing eyes peering from the shadows around them.
"Whatever those are, appear to of have us surrounded, I believe." stated Ethan seriously, as he drew his sword at the ready.
Just then, one of the shadow creatures jumped out after the prince. Ethan sliced the thing with his sword, but the shadow creature smirked at him and laughed as it then split into two more creatures.
"What the hell are these things?" demanded Erica, as one leapt out after her. She had managed to dodge the thing and deliver a swift blow to it's face, but the punch didn't seem to have much of an effect on it.
Ethan ducked down right as one of the shadow creatures tried to claw him in the face. "I don't know! But-" he replied, before being cut off by the creature coming at him again, but this time he kicked the thing in the stomach sending it back, "you can bet this has Alissa's handy work written all over it!" he concluded confidently.
One came after Erica, too, taking her by surprise as it grabbed her wrist making her yell out in surprise at the thing (which was smiling wickedly at her). Rory heard his girlfriend's fearful scream, as he looked over to see her struggling with trying to get the thing to let go.
A surge of fury came over him as he sped over to the thing and grabbed it's wrist with bone crushing strength to make it let go of her, and spun the creature around swiftly to face him.
"Hey!" he snapped furiously at the thing, with his fangs out and his eyes glowing yellow. He then punched the shadow creature in the face with the same amount strength to send it flying into a nearby tree. "Leave my girlfriend alone!" he demanded angrily at it.
The next thing Rory knew, he was suddenly engulfed in a massive hug by a very grateful Erica, who kissed him passionately on the lips. Rory's rage then melted away into more of a blissful feeling, as he kissed her back (enjoying it).
"My hero!" Erica delcared gratefully, after pulling back, but leaving her arms wrapped around his neck still.
Rory blushed madly at her compliment, as he stared at her in her beautiful gorgeous eyes. "Does that mean you forgive me?" he asked hopefully with a lopsided smile.
"Well, duh! What do you think?" she answered playfully with a smile, before kissing him again.
"Huh...guys? Now's not the time for a makeout session considering we're under attack here!" interrupted Sarah sarcastically, trying to get ther attention back on the matter at hand.
The two blondes quickly snapped out of it and focused their attention on taking out the shadow creatures.
They continued to fight the shadow monsters for what seemed like hours (but not really), but nothing seemed to work against them as for every one they took down, two more would form from the fallen one.
"Man! It's like fighting a hydra! You kill one and two more just take it's place!" exclaimed Rory obviously, as he flung the one that was on his back onto the ground, watching as it then turned into two more. He groaned unpleasantly at the sight and rolled his eyes as he got ready to take them both on at the same time.
"There has to be a way to defeat these things to where they'll stay dead?!" stated Sarah, after throwing one into a tree with her vampire strength.
Then one of the shadow monsters came sneaking up behind her about ready to attack. When Glimmer saw what it was up to, she flew into action and right into the shadowy figure's body as if trying to knock it out of the way. Instead of bouncing off it, like she had thought, she went right through it's body as if it was made of air, but somethings weird happened when she did.
The shadow creature's body then begun to dissolve into thin air as it let out a pained filled cry until nothing was left of it.
Everyone stood there in shock and baffled by it, as the creature didn't regenerate back into two separate creatures again.
"What the heck just happened?" asked Rory in awe.
"Hmm...I'm not sure? But I have a theory that I would like to try out first." thought out Mrs. Weir deeply. She lifted her right hand up and created a small ball of light in it. She then threw the ball at one of the creatures causing the same thing to happen to it.
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed certainly this time. "I believe since these creatures where created from darkness and are nothing more but shadows then that must mean the only thing that can truly harm these creatures is the power of light!" she explained simply enough.
Finding the shadow creatures weakness had raised everybody's moral a bit, but there was still one problem...how are were they going to defeat so many of them all at once?
"Mrs. Weir, do you by chance know a light spell that's big enough to defeat all these shadow creatures?" asked Ethan hopefully, but she shook her head sadly at him.
"No. I don't." she replied back glumly.
Just then a small and cheery voice piped up. "I believe I can help with that!" chirped Glimmer.
Everyone looked at her questioningly, wondering how it is that a little fairy like her could be any help in taking care of all these shadow monsters.
Glimmer placed a couple of her fingers up to her mouth as she blew, creating a loud whistling noise. She smiled brightly, afterwards, awaiting for a response.
All of a sudden, a bunch of small lights began to pop out from behind trees and bushes, surrounding them as they floated there in mid-air. Erica, Sarah, Rory, and Ethan stood there in awe at the sight of all the fairies that answered Glimmer's call.
"I thought you said that there wasn't very many of you living in The Dark Forest?" questioned Erica curiously.
Glimmer giggled. "There's not, silly! But I never did say just how few of us there were living here." she giggled cheerfully at Erica in amusement. "I'd say there's about a little over a hundred of us or so, living here in The Dark Forest." she added.
"And they're all here to help us?" asked Rory.
Glimmer nodded. "You actually caught us at good time when you came wondering through here. Today, is day three of our week long celebration called the Fairy Festival! Where all the fairies in The Dark Forest come to gather around this huge tree called the Fairywood Tree, which is the largest tree in the entire forest!" explained Glimmer. "Although, some of the fairies already live there, but yeah. You know how it is." she added nonchalantly with a small shrug and a smile.
"Yeah, but...are you sure they're willing to just stop what they are doing to help?" asked Ethan.
"Of course! We fairies are all about helping each other out! If one of us makes the call for help then we answer it! No doubt about it! We fairies stick together!" beamed Glimmer enthusiastically.
She then turned to her fellow fairies. "Alright, everybody! Follow my lead!" she commanded to the other fairies.
She flew off, flying right through one of the creatures making it disappear. All the other fairies did the same. Flying through the chests of all the shadow creatures one by one and making them disappear with their natural glow of light that they emit from their bodies.
The gang stood there in awe and amazement at the sight of the tiny little creatures of light taking out all the shadowy ones.
In just a few short minutes, all of Alissa's shadow creatures were defeated and gone thanks to the fairies aid.
"And that takes care of them!" boasted Glimmer proudly, swiping her hands together as if dusting them off. She smiled smugly in victory over the dark beings utter defeat.
Afterwards, she thanked her fellow fairies for all their help as they gave a slight nod before flying off back into the forest. Glimmer then turned towards the gang with a big happy smile.
"Now then! Shall we continue on our journey out of here?" suggest Glimmer, giggling a bit.
Evelyn gave a nod. "Yes! I believe we should." replied Evelyn back happily with a smile.
Three hours later with Glimmer leading the way, they all had finally made it through The Dark Forest, alive. "Finally! We made it out of there!" exclaimed Erica gratefully, throwing up her hands.
"Yes! And it was all thanks to our little friend here." stated Ethan thankfully with a kind smile, as he looked at Glimmer. "Thank you, Glimmer! For all of your help back there. I don't know what we would've done without you." thanked Ethan sincerely.
Glimmer put her hands behind her back and swayed her body side to side a bit, looking down bashfully with a blush on her face. "You're very much welcome, I guess." she replied back shyly. "I'm just glad that I could help." she added modestly. "I mean, we aren't the Guiding Lights Of The Forest for nothing." she then beamed proudly, making everyone laugh.
"I suppose you're right! But nonetheless, we really appreciate all of what you've done for us. Thanks to you, we were able to thwart Alissa's latest plot in keeping us from saving our friend, Benny." spoke Ethan wholeheartedly with gratitude.
He then held out a finger, which Glimmer took in one of her tiny hands to shake. "I hope that you all succeed in rescuing your friend." said Glimmer, wishing them good luck.
Ethan smiled widely and nodded. "May we meet again someday, Glimmer." he commented brightly.
"Well, you sure know how to find me, if we do!" chuckled Glimmer humorously.
They all waved goodbye to her, as they headed away from The Dark Forest. Glimmer hovered there waving goodbye back at them as she watched them go.
Back at Alissa's castle. Alissa had saw everything and she was furious. "AAAHH! THOSE LITTLE BRATS DID IT AGAIN! ARGH!" screamed Alissa angrily, as she knocked everything off her desk in a blind fit of rage. "I will not stand for this! There just HAS to be way to kill those little bastards?!" she thought out loud.
She then glanced down at the mess that she had made on her floor and sighed, calming herself somewhat. But then something caught her eye. One of the book that was on her desk was a book about deadly toxins and poisons. She grinned evilly at what she had in mind.
"I might not be able to get all of them, but at least I'll be able to kill at least one of them." she said sinisterly to herself. "The one who's been nothing but a problem to me from the start and is leading the charge." she plotted evilly, drumming her fingers together patiently.
She immediately set to work on her plan, seeing as it might take some time to get everything prepared and ready before setting it in motion.
A/N: Oh, snap! What's Alissa up to now?
So, yup! In this chapter we had shadow monsters and fairies! Sorry, for the lack of description on Glimmer. It didn't even cross my mind to even give her one. So, as for her appearance I'll just leave what she looks like up to you all and your imagination. :)
And look! I even added a little one-sided Rorica love spat! Lol! But don't worry. After Rory saving Erica (who's a big romantic for things like that), she forgave him. ;)
So, that's it until next chapter! Until then, I'll be seeing you all around! Bye! ;D
