Chapter 6

For Sarah and Erica, crap just hit the fan. Jesse and two of his minions were in Erica's front yard, and the girls were trapped. But they were vampires, right? Wouldn't they be able to escape using flight, or super-speed?

They could, but if they tried, Jesse and his henchmen could easily catch up to them. The only option was to fight them, which gave the girls a better chance at escaping.

"Erica, I know that you're pretty tough and all, but are you able to hold your own against Jesse?" Sarah asks as the two vampires back up.

"Nope," Erica replies. "Unless I had some stakes, then I might have a chance."

"But sadly, you don't," Jesse says. "Liam, Neil, kill them already!"

"Yes, sir," they say, before dashing towards the two girls.

SMACK! THUD!

Liam and Neil suddenly find themselves on the ground, in a lot of pain.

"Ow, my back," Liam groans.

Erica kicks him in the ribs and says, "Shut up, moron."

Jesse growls. "I thought that you two would've done better, but apparently not. I should've brought Jason. Why is it that I always bring the weaklings!?"

"Maybe you should reconsider underestimating us," Sarah says. "You always do that."

"And that's the last time I'm gonna make that mistake," Jesse replies. "Say good night, girls."

Jesse pulls out an amulet, and with it, he knocks out Sarah and Erica. The last thing they remember is Jesse's smug look as they fall to the ground.

Ethan's P.O.V.

Where the hell is Sarah? She should've been here an hour ago, with all the goods.

I check my watch once more. Yup, 10:02 pm. I'm starting to worry about Sarah. What if Jesse kidnapped her?

"Yo, you alright, E?"

I turn around to find Benny looking at the stars.

"Honestly? I'm just worried," I admit, sighing. "Sarah should've been back by now."

"You're right," Benny says. "But I'm sure she can hold her own."

"True, but what if Jesse's got her?" I ask, frowning. "None of us are strong enough to fight Jesse alone."

"Look, if she doesn't come back in half an hour, then we'll go look for her," Benny suggests. "Cameron has a pick-up truck, and he can help us look for Sarah."

"Alright," I reply. "Oh, and Benny, do you mind if you keep watch? It may be just me being paranoid, but I think someone or something may be watching us."

"Sure," Benny says.

"Thanks," I reply, smiling.

I can only hope that Sarah's okay.

Third Person P.O.V.

"Ugh, my head," Sarah groans.

"Sarah, you alright?" asks a whispery voice.

"Huh? Who's there?" Sarah asks.

"It's me, Erica," the voice responds. Almost immediately after she replied, Erica crawled out of the shadows.

"What happened?" questions Sarah.

"From what I remember, we took out Jesse's thugs, then he pulled out an amulet. I think it was enchanted or something, and it knocked us out. It's still a bit fuzzy though," Erica answers. "Worst of all, Jesse ruined my designer jacket. Not cool!"

"Erica, now's not the time to worry about fashion and your clothes. We need to get out of here as fast as we can, before Jesse uses us as bait, or worse!"

"Okay, okay," groans Erica. "But how do we escape?"

"I'm not sure just yet," Sarah admits. "I just wish Ethan was here."

Even though the last part was whispered, Erica still heard it.

"Why, so you can cuddle with him?" Erica jokes.

"What?! No!" replies Sarah.

"Then why?" Erica asks.

"Because he's the brains of the group, and he could probably get us out of here faster than Benny and Rory together," Sarah answers. "Okay, and maybe a tad bit of what you suspected.

"I knew it!" snorts Erica. "I knew it from the beginning! Omg, I so told you! What do you even see in that dork?"

Sarah just sighs and ignores the question while looking around the cage. From what she could see, their prison was a simple iron cage, not unlike the one Ethan owns.

Upon seeing the cage door, she attempts to open it, but to her dismay, it won't budge. Normally, with her super-human strength and all, she could do a lot of things that only a body builder could do. However, the cage must have been enchanted by Jesse or one of his minions, so that the girls couldn't escape.

"Ugh," Sarah groans. "How are we going to get out of here? The most obvious exit has been enchanted, and we don't seem to have many other options."

"Have you tried prying the bars apart?" Erica suggests, shrugging.

"Hmm, not a bad idea," Sarah says. "But I need you to help me with this."

"Fine," Erica answers, sighing.

The two girls get into position, and start pulling as hard as they can. Not long after, the bars have been bent so that there's a decent sized gap between them.

"Nice. Seems like Jesse's not as smart as he thinks he is," Sarah says. Smirking, she crawls out and, after taking a quick glance around, helps the taller vampire slip between the cage bars.

"Let's get going before Jesse finds out," says Erica.

"But where do we go? This structure might be underground for all we know. Haven't you noticed that we're not in the middle of a random field?" Sarah questions.

"Yeah, I noticed. But still, it might be better if we make a run for it instead of waiting for Jesse to come here," Erica replies. "And seriously, why does that idiot keep underestimating us? Then again, I shouldn't be complaining, since it makes it easier to beat him."

Shrugging, Sarah just continues to search for a way out of the room.

Soon enough, the two girls find a hallway, thanks to their night vision. Unfortunately for them, the hallway goes three different ways, with no indication of which way leads towards the exit. The one on the left seemed to go on forever, and mysterious writing lined the walls. The middle hallway had blood spatters all over it, and branched off into two different paths. The final hallway was twisted, so Sarah and Erica couldn't tell what was further down it.

Erica swore in frustration, while Sarah ventured down the twisty hallway.

"Erica!" Sarah exclaims. "I think this is the way out!"

"How do you know?" Erica questions. "It could be a trap for all we know."

"Well, it seems to be our best option for now," Sarah replies. "Besides, it's kinda obvious that it's the way out. See?"

Sarah points to a door, similar to those emergency exit doors found in office buildings and other similar structures.

"Alright," Erica says. "But you're going first. If something jumps out from behind that door, I'd rather not be the one that it mangles."

"Fine," groans Sarah.

Sighing, she carefully walks over to the door and gently pushes it open. Seeing that nothing jumps out at Sarah, Erica walks over.

"What's out there?" asks Erica.

"Freedom," Sarah answers, smiling. "We're getting out of here!"

And with that, the two girls rush out of the building, only to get trapped by a cage that pops up from the ground.

"Crap," Erica mutters. "Just when we thought we were free, we find ourselves in yet another cage!"

"Heheheh. Well, looks like we've got two escapees," says a deep voice.

In front of the cage stood a man dressed in a dark trench coat and even darker coloured pants and shirt.

"Jesse," Sarah growls.

"Who else would it be?" the vampire asks, grinning maniacally.

"Someone's gone to Crazy Town," Erica mutters. Sarah snickers in response.

"Oh, so you think it's funny that I'm a bit crazy, eh?" Jesse muses. "Well, I may be crazy, but, as you've learned from before, I'm just as psychotic as I am crazy. Oh, and as a side note, I'm not crazy. I'm just plain evil."

That seemed to scare the girls.

"Scared, are we?" taunts Jesse, seeing their sudden rigged state.

Erica and Sarah share a worried glance.

"Oh, don't you worry you two. I've got something planned for you both," Jesse says.

As if by magic (which it probably is), the cage disappears, and two burly men grab the two vampire girls.

"Let us go!" Sarah demands.

"Hmm. How 'bout, mm, nope," Jesse says, before chuckling evilly. "Take these two to the sacrificial pit. Do not hurt them. I need them alive if we want Ethan and his friends dead."

"Yes, sir!" the two men say simultaneously.

*Meanwhile*

"Hey, Ethan?"

"What is it, Benny?" asks the seer. He sits up from his position on the couch, rubbing his eyes.

"Sarah isn't back yet, and it's been more than an hour," Benny says with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Benny!" exclaims Ethan.

"What? I told you, didn't I?"

"You did, but I asked you to let me know if they didn't return in half an hour!" complains Ethan. "It's been exactly one hour and twenty two minutes since I asked you. Seriously, Benny, would it hurt to do a better job of keeping track of time?"

By now, Benny was thoroughly embarrassed and slightly shamed. He knew how organised and precise Ethan is with things, and, being his best friend, he knew that he got scared, angry and frustrated when someone close to him was hurt.

"Look, E, I'm sorry," Benny says to the distraught seer. "But you have to understand that I'm not the most organized person. Hell, I'd be looking through my shirt drawer and I'd find my school notes from a few months ago. I may be part supernatural, but I'm still human. I make mistakes as well."

Ethan was silent after that. He wouldn't look up to meet the spell master's gaze.

"Ethan?"

"…"

"Look, I'll give you ten minutes to think this over, then I'll come back, okay?" Benny suggests, before starting walk out of the room.

"Thank you, Benny."

The spell master turns around, seeing Ethan sitting on the couch with a small smile dancing across his lips.

"Don't worry about it, E," Benny replies. "I know that you'd do the same for me. It's part of why we're best friends. We're there for each other when we need help, and we have each other's backs, no matter the circumstance."

"Now, I'm gonna leave you be for now, alright? Just take the time to calm down and think," Benny says, softly smiling.

"Okay, and, once again, thanks," Ethan replies.

"No problem, E."

Benny turns towards the door and leaves.

"Sarah, wherever you are, please be okay," prays the seer.

Sarah's P.O.V.

Ugh… Where the hell am I?

I take a quick glance around, and from what I can see, I'm tied down on one of those demonic star things. Crap, this doesn't look to good for me. And where's Erica?

"Ah, Sarah, you're finally awake!"

Who the hell was that?

Suddenly, a familiar figure is standing above me, smirking.

"Jesse," I growl.

"The one and only," he replies, still smirking. My god, I really just want to wipe that smirk of this ignorant jerk's face. He drives me insane to no end!

"Let me go!" I demand.

"I'm sorry, but I can't," he answers. "Not yet, at least."

What he mean by that? I'll ask him later, if there is one. Right now, I'm a bit concerned about Erica.

"Where's Erica, and what did you do to her, you freak!" I question.

"You'll find out soon, as you'll be joining her in the ranks of my army!" he says. Ugh. I really hate this guy!

"Can't you just give me a straight answer for once?" I ask as I struggle against the bindings.

"I would, but it's more amusing to see your response when the same thing happens to you," Jesse answers.

He turns around and nods to another man in the corner of the room. He pulls out a spell book, and starts chanting something. What are they doing to me?!

"I'll see you when you're done. Enjoy the transformation," Jesse says, smirking. "At first, it'll feel weird, but you'll get used to it over time."

He turns around and leaves. I suddenly find myself screaming at the searing pain. It hurts so badly, I just wish this was over…

Third Person P.O.V.

"How long will this take?"

"Not long, dear Erica."

Jesse and Erica are sitting in a room, watching Sarah screaming and crying out in pain.

"Mine was quicker," Erica says, her eyes not straying from the screen.

"That's because you submitted to the darkness, rather than resist," Jesse says. "If she continues to resist, then we will use even stronger magic against her. It's only a matter of time."

"It's only a matter of time…"

Ethan's P.O.V.

Grr… Ugh… My head hurts… Wait, what happened? I must have fallen asleep.

Suddenly, I hear some shuffling coming from my left.

"E, you okay?" Benny asks as he walks into the room.

I'm lying on the couch, clutching my head in pain.

"Not really," I say. "I've got one hell of a headache."

Suddenly, I'm thrown into a vision. I see Sarah and Erica, standing over the burning remains of Cameron and Claire's mansion. But they look… different. More demonic, like they've been fused with a demon. What happened to the two of them?

Then, Jesse's standing over the corpse of someone, smiling as he chants a spell. Soon, the dead body rises from the ground. That was all I saw before coming back to reality.

"E, what was that? Did you just have another vision?" questions Benny, a look of concern on his face.

I sit there, shaking for a little bit before responding.

"I think I did," I reply. "And from what I saw, Sarah and Erica are in trouble. They need our help. And if we can't help them, then the world is doomed."
