A/N: OH MAH GOD! I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I was in Hawaii near the end of Christmas break, and when I come back, I had so much homework that it's not even funny. I had an essay, a speech, a presentation and a few tests, so bear with me. School ain't easy, yah know!
Shout outs to:
TiredOfBeingNice – I live in Canada too, so I agree. My OC, Claire, was based off of your OC request.
MBAV fan66 – the name came from a classmate, who's in every class of mine, except for one. Maybe Claire trusts Ethan more than the others, who knows? I also created an OC based on your request.
Oh, and if you haven't noticed, this chapter is twice as long as usual, which is going to be the new normal. So I won't update as much, but the chapters will be longer.
Chapter 5
"Oh, you seem quite aggravated by my sudden appearance," the man says.
"No duh," Rory says. "You're planning to take over Whitechapel, and you already tried to kill us once!"
"Tut tut, Rory," the man says, smirking. "You're so childish, and I know that you don't have the strength to beat me."
Before Rory can retort, Ethan speaks up.
"Why are you bothering with showing up? There's still a chance that we can beat you," the seer says.
"I wouldn't have, but I want to amuse myself when I see the looks on your faces," the vampire leader answers.
The man slowly removes his black fedora. He drops it, then takes off his sunglasses and tosses them to the side.
"What!?" Benny and Rory cry out in unison. Ethan just looks stunned, while Sarah gasps.
"I thought we killed you… for good," Sarah says.
"Not true. After the lucifractor incident, I ran off, leaving a decoy for you to kill," the man says.
"Well, Jesse, we've killed you once, and we'll do it again!" Benny exclaims.
"Oh, Benny," Jesse sighs. "When will you realize that I'm superior to you in every way? If you tried to take me on alone, then you'd be toast."
"But have you forgotten, moron, that I've got friends, who're ready to back me up?" the spell master retorts.
"You're sass is gonna get you killed someday, young man. Why don't I teach you a lesson, huh?" snaps the vampire.
Ethan steps in, not wanting any of his friends to get hurt.
"What do you want with us?" Ethan asks. "Sarah told us that you said that there's nothing here for you, so why are you still trying to take over Whitechapel? Isn't it time that you retire with the villain act?"
Jesse simply smiled, and says, "The first attempt was weak. But now, this plan is flawless. The only thing standing in the way is you, so I'm here to tie up these loose ends. Oh, and by the way, no matter what, Whitechapel will soon be mine."
Jesse continued to flash his trademark smile. The vampire's smile gave Ethan, Benny, Sarah and Rory the creeps. Jesse's expression was so… scary, yet calm and collected at the same time.
"Wow, I didn't think that you'd be like this after everything that's happened," Ethan comments. "You're acting a bit like the stereotypical villain that wants to rule the world."
"It won't matter, because you'll be dead soon," Jesse replies, smiling once more. "I'm gonna enjoy killing you."
Confident in his ability to kill the gang, Jesse decided to mess with them first. Besides, nothing could stop him now.
But still, even though Ethan knew that Jesse could kill them all, if he were to die, he'd go down swinging.
However, none of them were expecting Jesse to suddenly get tackled from behind by a teenage boy.
For a good five minutes, the vampire and the boy were wrestling around, until, with a sudden and defiant roar, the boy manages to pick up Jesse and throw him across the street. Stopping, he turns around to face the gang before running a hand through his hair.
"Why don't we leave before the cops show up, huh?" he suggests.
"Yeah, I agree," Benny says, before following the boy as he runs off.
The remaining three look share a glance, until Ethan comes to a decision.
"Well, I think we're gonna have to follow, regardless of what we think, now that Benny's left," Ethan says.
Sarah and Rory nod, before running in the same direction. Unfortunately for Ethan, the two used their super-speed, leaving the seer in the dust.
"Oh well," he mutters, running after his friends as fast as his semi-mortal feet could carry him.
*After Ethan and Benny catches up to everyone else*
"Oh, sorry E. We forgot about you having a lack of super-speed, and well, um…" apologized Rory.
"Forget about it, Rory. It's fine," Ethan replied. He then turned to their new ally. "Alright, who are you, and why would you attempt to kill one of the most powerful vampires in history? There's no way that a mere mortal could throw Jesse that far."
"I'm Cameron, and as you can guess, I'm a supernatural entity, just like you four," he answers.
"Cameron, what type of supernatural are you?" Benny warily asks. His reasoning was clear: some supernatural creatures were less trusted by the gang, thanks to their past encounters.
"Well, I'm a werewolf," Cameron admits. "I've been one since as long as I can remember. My parents are both werewolves, and so have my grandparents. With each generation of pure-bloods, we develop a new power. My parents was to change at will, regardless of what phase of the moon it is. Mine has yet to be discovered."
This wasn't good, and the gang knew it. More than half of Team V was made up of vampires, and if a werewolf were to be thrown into the mix, there would be hell to pay.
"Look, I know that you two," he says, pointing to Sarah and Rory. "Are vampires, while you two nerds are a seer and a spell master."
"How'd you know all of that?" Rory asks, obviously dumbstruck.
"My cousin Claire can send me some information in a flash," he answers. "Ever since she heard about you, she's been creating an army to combat Jesse and his minions. Claire and I don't plan on having civilization being completely destroyed just yet. I'd miss the ice cream parlor too much. Oh, and are you two dating?"
Cameron points to Sarah and Ethan, who both blush a little.
"We're not dating!" Sarah exclaims.
"Yeah right," Benny mutters. Rory, who's standing next to Benny, snickers.
Sarah shoots Benny a glare, and he and Rory immediately shut up. The two awkwardly shuffle around, trying to avoid the vampire girl's gaze.
"Seriously, Cam, I told you that you shouldn't bring up the topic of Ethan and Sarah. It's a bit of a touchy subject," a voice says.
Claire emerges from the shadows of the forest, smirking.
"Seriously, Claire?" Ethan complains.
"I never miss the chance to tease someone," she says. "It's too much fun."
"Seriously, what's with you guys poking fun at our relationship today?" Sarah asks.
"It's because after the Lucifractor incident, you two haven't been acknowledging your relation, and you both know how you feel about each other," Benny replies. "Okay, all joking aside, you two haven't really being talking to each other about the incident. E, we all know that you've got a crush on Sarah. I would too, but Erica is way hotter, no offense. And Sarah, you also like Ethan, so why don't you two just get over it already!"
Both Ethan and Sarah glare at Benny. Though Ethan didn't scare him, Sarah did.
"Okay, as much as I like watching you three quarrel like it's some sort of comedic FanFic written by an author who's famous among other others in that category, we need to focus," Cameron says. His expression changes to a serious one. As he continues on. "Jesse's out there, and he's planning your deaths. As well, he's gonna attempt to take that spell box from you. Ya know, the one with the resurrection spell? While he's not planning either of those, he's busy creating an army. So, if we don't prepare for whatever Jesse's going to throw at us, then we'll die after the first wave of creatures."
Ethan suddenly turns to Claire.
"We're going to need you on the inside. We don't know what Jesse's got in his army, so we need you to tell us so Benny and I can research and find their weaknesses," Ethan says. "Are you up for the task?"
"Only if you find some way to bring me back from the dead," Claire answers.
"I'll take that as a yes," Ethan says, then looks at each of his friends. "Meanwhile, we need to do some research, and maybe some tinkering. Things are gonna get ugly, and I don't want to fight them unprepared."
"Okay, E," Rory says. "We're with you, no matter what!"
Ethan smiled. No matter how clueless or dumb Rory was, his heart was always in the right place.
"Hey, I've got a tool shed at my parents' place. It has all kinds of equipment and materials that we could use to make weapons with," Cameron suggests, shrugging.
"Sure, why not?" Benny replies. "I've come up with some anti werewolf weapon schematics, and I've been wanting to build them. Oh, don't worry, Cameron. We'll make sure that those weapons won't be pointed anywhere near you or your parents."
"Thanks, Benny," Cameron says.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Rory exclaims, unable to contain his excitement.
"Alright," Sarah says. "Just give me some time to get some blood substitute from Benny's grandma. Oh, and while I'm at it, I'm going to attempt to get Erica to come with us. Is there any way that we can bribe her into coming?"
"Blood," Rory, Ethan and Benny say.
"Other than that?" asks Sarah.
"Maybe some fashion items, a new phone, and possibly a boyfriend?" Ethan suggests.
"I think we know who that boyfriend is," Benny says, grinning
Sarah face palms, while Ethan just sighs.
"No way," Rory says. "Erica is mine, so back off!"
Ethan steps in before another one of their 'Erica's mine!' arguments could start.
"Hey, we need to get to work, so quit arguing, will you?" Ethan asks in annoyance.
"Fine," Benny replies. "We'll resume this later, Rory!"
"If you two geeks are done, we need to get going," Cameron says. "We'll go to my place first, so you know where it is. Then you can get your blood substitute as well as your snarky friend."
"Alright, let's go," Sarah says.
*Later*
Team V had followed Cameron to his place, which was on the outskirts of town. While it certainly was a mansion, it wasn't a small house either. It was similar to Ethan's place, in terms of space; two floors, both quite spacious, and a large lawn and backyard.
"Finally, we made it!" Benny exclaims. "And without getting attacked! That's a bonus, in my opinion."
Cameron, Benny and Rory were in the shed, while Ethan and Sarah were planning on what Sarah needed to bring back. When the two went into the house, Benny had snickered and joked that Ethan and Sarah weren't planning, but instead having a make-out session.
"Totally," Rory agrees, smiling. "As much as I like the action, the Vampire Ninja needs a break from being attacked every once in a while."
A few moments later, Sarah walks
"Okay, is there anything that you guys want me to bring back?" she asks, looking at the three teens.
"All of our video games," Rory says. "Cam's got an X-Box, and we want to go full-fledge in PVZ, Garden Warfare!"
"Sorry, Rory, but Sarah can't carry that much. Choose just one," Ethan says.
"Fine, just take PVZ Garden Warfare. Also, could you bring Vampire Sasquatch?" Rory requests.
"I will, but that's it," Sarah says, sighing. "Benny, what about you?"
"Five, no, six bottles of my conditioner, and one of my X-Box controllers. Cam only has two, and all three of us want to play," Benny says.
"Alright," Sarah sighs. "Know that there's a chance that she won't come back with us. She won't really jump at the chance of either of you being her boyfriend."
"Oh, but she will," Benny assures, flashing a charming smile. "She can't resist my charm."
"Get real," Rory says. "No way is she gonna fall for you. When will you learn that the Vampire Ninja is Erica's prince charming?"
Benny scoffs.
"Seriously, Rory?" Benny says. "You're nowhere near as handsome as I am."
Soon, Rory and Benny are arguing over who Erica would
"You might want to before things get ugly," Ethan whispers.
Sarah nods, and in a flash, she's gone.
Erica's P.O.V.
Ding-dong.
Looks like someone's at the door. Perfect timing. I was starting to get hungry.
I open the door, and instead of some mortal, it's Sarah.
"What are you doing here?" I ask. "Weren't you with the nerds?"
"I was, but we're on the down low. Thankfully, Ethan's parents are gone for a month, and Jane's with Mrs. Weir," Sarah answers. "When we went for ice cream, Jesse showed up and attacked us. Thankfully, Cameron, a werewolf who seems to be on our side, helped us escape, and the rest of the gang are at his place."
"And since they're not with you, you two are on your own," an arrogant voice says.
As Sarah turns to face the man, I look over her head, which is pretty easy to do. She and Ethan are the shortest members of Team V.
"Not again," Sarah groans.
Now I see what she means. Standing in my front yard are Jesse and two lackeys. This should get interesting real fast.
"Erica, hand over Sarah and we'll leave you alone," Jesse demands. "Either wise, you'll get your butt kicked."
"Interesting offer, but I'm not interested," I reply, putting my hands on my hips. "She's my friend, so if you want to mess with her, you're gonna mess with me as well."
"I figured that you weren't going to agree. Whatever," Jesse says. "Liam, Neil, kill them."
I was right, things were going to get interesting.
A/N: And that concludes chapter 5! Who will win, the girls or Jesse? And what's going to happen to the guys? Find out in the next chapter!
