A/N: Hey guys, I'm back! I've only had one person reply about the OC that I want YOU guys and girls to create. Once again, I'm going to give some shout outs to the following. Oh, and by the way, I'm sorry for not updating in a while. I got sick, and I've had a LOT of homework.

TiredOfBeingNice – I honestly didn't decide to have Hannah as a vampire until I wrote the chapter. I guess that it turned out for the better. And yeah, Jesse does seem to really like trench coats.

MBAV fan66 – thanks for being the first to respond to the OC thing. I know that it's my story, but I just want to have something from the community added to my story.

mbavlover61010 – yeah, I know that there's a ton of rogue vampires, but I need them all for later in the story.

inosine – yup, I did the math to have 900 rogue vamps. Now, the question is: will the gang be able to stop them all?

Anyways, that's it for shout outs, and let's move on to the story.

Chapter 3

It has been two days since the incident at the church. Ethan, Sarah, Benny, Erica, and Rory were on edge. The first time they visited the church, they found Jesse and his cronies digging up the Cubile Animus. The previous day, Ethan had come up with a theory that whoever was digging holes at the church was probably after another powerful magical item. Now, the gang were arguing over what the item could possibly be.

"I think that it's a dragon egg!" Rory guesses enthusiastically.

"You know, I'm going to agree with Rory on this one," Benny says. "Imagine how awesome it'd be to have a pet dragon!"

"It could be, but I think that it may be some sort of charm that could grant the wearer with enhanced abilities," Sarah suggests, shrugging.

"Um, guys?" Ethan says, looking at each of them. "I'm a seer, so we could go down to the church after school and have me use my psychic powers to figure out what it is."

"Oh," Rory says. "Why didn't we think about this earlier?"

Benny just shrugs and says, "Well, let's get to our next class before we get yelled at for being late."

And so, the five went their separate ways, until the end of school.

"Alright," Ethan says. "Let's head down to the church before those vampires show up. I have a feeling that they're not done with that place."

"You might be right," Benny says. He takes a few minutes to think before speaking again. "But, if those vampires aren't finished digging up whatever it is, then we need to be fast."

"Then why are we still here?" Sarah asks. "Let's go!"

*A short while later*

After going over to Ethan's house, Ethan, Benny, Sarah and Rory finally finished packing their anti-vampire weapons. They had agreed to only bring two weapons each, since they didn't want to be weighed down by them.

Erica decided not to come with them, saying that this was a job for the nerd squad.

"Seriously," Benny said. "Is there any better reason for not coming with us?"

"Um, yeah," she replied. "Isn't it your job to deal with the satanic ritualistic stuff? I'd come, but who knows what kinds of curses that those demons artifacts have on them?! I certainly don't want to be the one who finds out!"

Benny just sighed as he replays the argument in his head. However, he zoned out until they arrived at the church, so he didn't realize that they were at their destination.

"Hey, Benny," Ethan says, lightly smacking Benny.

"Huh? What? Are we there yet?" asks the confused spell master.

"If you had been paying attention, then you'd already have gotten out of the car and walked over to the vamps' dig site!" Sarah answers. "So get out of the car and walk over to the dig site, you idiot!"

"Geez, I'm sorry," Benny says as he gets out of the car. "Don't get your fangs in a twist."

Sarah hisses at him, and he jumps back, a scared expression plastered onto his face.

"Move it, NOW!" Sarah shouts.

Benny just backs away and pulls out his spell book before muttering a spell. The spell master then closes his eyes for a moment before opening them again.

"Good, there aren't any vamps around, except for you two," Benny says to Sarah and Rory.

"Hey," Rory says, looking around in confusion. "Where's Ethan?"

"I think he's in the back," Sarah replies before calling Ethan. "Hey, Ethan, are you at the back?"

After a few seconds, Sarah turns off her phone and says, "Yup, he's in the back."

The trio head to the back, only to find that Ethan's nowhere in sight.

"Yo, E! Where are you?" Benny shouts.

"I'm in the hole! And it looks like good luck seems to be on our side today, because you'll never believe what I found!"

As Benny, Sarah and Rory rush over to the hole, Ethan dislodges a chest that he found buried beneath the dirt.

Rory leaps of the ledge of the hole and lands next to Ethan.

"What's in it?" Rory asks in excitement.

Benny leaps down, but unfortunately, he doesn't stick the landing.

"Rory, he doesn't – ow – know. Just be patient and stand still, will ya?" Benny says, limping over to the two of them.

"Benny, heads up!" Sarah exclaims as she jumps down. She made the landing, but instead of landing on the ground, she lands on Benny.

"Ow!" Benny shouts. "What the heck was that for?"

"One, for not moving out of the way, and two, for spilling pudding on me at lunch!" Sarah answers furiously.

"Look, I said that I was sorry!" Benny says. "You know that I didn't mean to!"

"That was my favourite sweater! And unlike you, I know how hard it is to get pudding stains out of clothes!" she replies.

"Look," Ethan says. "Can you both shut up? Argue later, open box now."

After looking at the others, Ethan takes a skeleton key out of his pocket and slips it into the lock.

"Where'd you get that from?" Benny asks as he stares at the key.

"I took it from one of the rogue vampires that we killed," Ethan answers.

Opening the box, Ethan pulls out the spell scroll that he finds in the chest.

"Hey, Ethan, what's that scroll you got there? Is this what the vamps have been after?" Benny asks when he sees the scroll.

But Ethan's not listening. He's already slipped into a vision.

A/N: And that concludes chapter 3! Once again, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated. Anyways, see you in the next chapter! Remember, please review! And don't forget about the OC! Read the author's notes from chapter 2 to understand. Peace out!
