A/N: Merry (late) Christmas! I'm back, and ready to write! Before I get to the story, I'd like to reply to the reviewers.

TiredOfBeingNice – thanks for enjoying the chapter! I'm also thankful that you reviewed about the OC. And this chapter will talk about Ethan's vision.

MBAV fan66 – yup, that is totally Erica. Now that I think about it, that's actually something that you could picture her doing. By the way, Ethan didn't get hurt when he fell into the hole. It was Benny.

Chapter 4

"Oh, god, my head," Ethan mutters. He looks around, and instead of seeing the church, he realizes that he's in his bedroom.

"Nice to see that you're awake, E," says a voice. Ethan sits up, and sees Rory, Benny and Sarah standing in the doorway.

"What happened?" Ethan asks. "The last thing I remember was my vision."

"We pretty much dragged you home after you passed out. You've been unconscious for a good hour. Speaking of which, what was your vision?" asks Sarah.

"Hmm…" Ethan mutters. "Oh, right. The scroll apparently has a dark past, and the spell that's written on it is used for resurrecting the dead. However, it won't resurrect mortals, only the supernatural."

"So you're saying that it has the ability to resurrect creatures of the night like Rory or Sarah, but it won't resurrect, say, Principal Hicks," Benny says, raising an eyebrow.

"Exactly," Ethan replies.

"Wait," says Rory. "Do you two count as the supernatural? I mean, Ethan, you're, like, a seer, while Benny's a spell master."

"I'm not sure," Ethan admits. "We'll find out if either of us dies."

"You know, E, that's not exactly the most reassuring thing to here, especially given our current predicament," Benny states.

"Yeah, I know," Ethan says nonchalantly. "Besides, we both know that we are going to die at some point."

"Um, I'm not sure about you guys, but I kind of want to leave the subject of death," Sarah says. "Anybody agree? I think I speak for everybody when I say that we should change topics."

"Yeah," Benny says, while Rory nods.

"Oh, hey, I just remembered! There's a new ice cream parlor down by the movie theater. Do you guys want to go? It's my treat," Ethan suggests.

"I'm in!" Rory exclaims enthusiastically. Of course Rory would want to go; he's like a ten year old in a teen's body.

"Alright," says Sarah. "It's not like I have any plans."

"Okay then, let's go," Benny says.

*A short while later*

"One strawberry ice cream, two banana splits with hot fudge, and one vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce and sprinkles, please," Ethan says to the cashier.

"Okay, that's $10.75," the cashier replies.

Ethan hands her the money, and dropped an extra dollar into the tip jar. Benny and Rory went to look at the candy rack, while Ethan and Sarah walk over to an empty table.

"Here," Ethan says as he pulls out a chair for Sarah.

"Wow, such a gentleman," Sarah jokes, giggling. As an afterthought, she adds, "It's always nice to take a break from the supernatural. Even small breaks like these give you enough time to reflect on how much has happened."

"Yeah, I have to agree. Our lives are filled with so much supernatural that our lives have almost changed completely. It's hard to believe that just last month, we had to fight our vice-principal, who was hell-bent on getting revenge on the vamps for killing his ancestors," Ethan says. "I'm not sure how our lives would've been if we hadn't discovered that you were a vampire, or found out that Benny and I had supernatural powers."

'Thanks to the supernatural, our lives are all special, eh?' a voice says.

"Huh?" Ethan looks around, only to see that nobody was with them.

"What?" asks Sarah.

"I thought I heard something, or someone," Ethan answers.

'Oh, but you did hear me. The thing is, I'm talking to you telepathically,' the voice says. 'My name is Claire, and I'm here to warn you that the vampires are out hunting you.'

'How do you know that I'm here?' Ethan asks.

'I'll answer in a second. I'm coming over to where you and your girlfriend are,' Claire answers.

'She's not my girlfriend!' Ethan says.

'Whatever,' Claire says.

Sarah's P.O.V.

What's with Ethan? First, he's hearing things, and now he's spacing out. What gives?

"Hey, Ethan, what's wrong?" I ask. When that doesn't work, I say, "Ethan, snap out of it!"

"Huh, what?" Ethan asks, blinking a couple of times before speaking once more. "Did something happen?"

"No, I was just concerned. You normally don't space out like that, unless you're having a vision. But I could tell that you weren't having a vision. So what happened?" I ask.

"Well," he says. "I was having a mental conversation with a telepathic girl named Claire. She warned me about the vampires, who are trying to hunt us down."

"I think we already know the latter," I point out.

Before either of us can say anything else, a waitress comes over with our ice cream. But something seems off about her. I'm not sure if Ethan can tell, but it feels as if she's got a supernatural aura.

"Thanks," Ethan says as he takes the ice cream.

He gestures for Rory and Benny to come over, and turns back to look at the waitress. Ethan's face suddenly has a slightly surprised expression on it. I look at his eyes, and turn to face where he's looking at. It's the girl's name tag, which says Claire on it.

"Ethan?" I say.

"Yeah, I know," he responds.

"Awesome!" Benny exclaims as he walks over to us. "The ice cream's here! Rory, get over here!"

Sighing, I turn to face Ethan, only to discover that he's gone.

"Huh? Hey, Benny, where'd Ethan go?" I ask. "He was here just a second ago."

"I think I saw the waitress dragging him outside," Benny answers. "I don't know why, though."

"Oh no," I mutter. "This might be bad."

"Why?" Benny asks. "You jealous?"

"What? No!" I respond, blushing furiously. "Come on! Ethan might be in trouble!"

"Alright," Benny says. "C'mon Rory. Let's go.

Third Person P.O.V.

"So you're saying that the vampires are assembling an army of monsters, such as ghouls, poltergeists, vampires, obviously, and other creatures of the night. With that army, they're going to take over Whitechapel, then slowly take over the rest of Canada. Is there anything else?" Ethan asks Claire.

"Nope," Claire replies nonchalantly.

"And you know this how?" Ethan questions.

"As well as being telepathic, I'm a vampire," Claire says. "I'm you're inside ears."

"So, you just decided to join our group?" Ethan asks in disbelief.

"Yup," she replies.

"What now? I may be the brains behind the group, and I can take a lot, but I'm still a bit skeptical."

"Ethan!" a girl shouts. Ethan turns to see Sarah, along with Benny and Rory.

"Hey, what's going on?" Ethan asks.

"Oh, I thought she kidnapped you," Sarah says. "What did she tell you?"

"Claire, can you explain? You know it better than I do," Ethan says. He turns around, only to find that Claire has vanished. "Claire?"

"Where'd she go?" Rory asks. "She was just here a second ago."

"Um, dude?" Benny says. "If she has supernatural powers, then it's probably normal for her to suddenly disappear."

"Your right," Ethan says. "Anyways, Claire was telling me about the vampires plan. She said that they were organizing an army of monsters, which they were going to use to take over Whitechapel. After invading and conquering Whitechapel, they plan to take over Canada."

"Well, unless we can stop them, Canada is screwed," Benny says. "Hey, is there any good news?"

"Oh, yeah! Claire has agreed to be our spy," Ethan answers. "That way, we can hopefully stay one step ahead of the vampires."

"That's going to be hard to do if we vampires tear you limb from limb first," says a voice. The group turn to face the man who spoke.

"Oh no," Rory says. "It's the vampires' leader."

"It's official," Sarah states. "We're screwed."

A/N: and that concludes chapter 4. What will happen to the gang? Find out in the next chapter! Until next time…
