Here is once again another fabulous chapter of A New Beginning! Enjoy!
I do not own MBAV! Bold italics mean flashback.
Benny held Ethan's hand in his as Grandma Weir drove to their new house. They were moving to a small town similar to Whitechapel called Edmonton. Benny hoped that in moving away from Whitechapel that they would be moving away from the supernatural. It had been fun fighting vampires and ghouls alongside Ethan but Benny wanted a simple life. There had been many to close calls where Benny or Ethan or even both had lost their lives in a fight against the supernatural. Benny looked down at Ethan's sleeping face, he couldn't handle losing him again. As rain splashed against the window, Benny looked out to see the highway. Ethan wasn't the only one who remembered that fateful night. Benny watched as the rain fell.
Benny pulled up to Ethan's house slowly. Flames spewing from the windows, the neighborhood had gathered to watch as firemen tried putting out the flames. Screams could be heard coming, the groan of the wood and brick frames collapsing in some areas. Ethan slowly opened the car door and began to scream in utter horror as he ran. Benny and Sarah running after him. But before they could get to him a police officer and fireman pulled Ethan back before he ran into the burning house. Ethan fell to his knee's and began to scream, for he could hear his mother screaming inside. Loud pitched screams of pain, and death.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" was all Benny could say to himself as he watched a window break as flames began to spew out from it, glass falling to the yard below. Some of the crowd was crying, while some parents were shielding their children s eyes.
"MOM!" Ethan screamed over and over. He could hear the inside of the house begin to fail as the front porch began to cave in. Clouds of smoke rising into the night sky blocking out the stars. All Ethan could hear was the screams of his family echoing in his mind. Finally Ethan watched as a few fireman got closer and began spraying more water on the outer part of the house, but what no one saw was the lone black feminine figure of somebody standing across the street. In her hands was a solid object that seem to glisten in the light of the nearby flames. Her eyes seem to reflect everything that was happening across the street from her. As she watched Ethan on his knee's cry out and fall in agony. You could see the white of her smile as she grinned at the sight of Ethan's misfortune. With a slight chuckle, she was gone in a split second. Nothing but the wind could be heard there, Ethan's screams becoming louder in the distance. Finally the screams from inside the house had stopped as the fire began to die down.
"Benny are you okay dear?" Grandma Weir asked, a slight worry in her aged eyes.
"Oh? Oh yea I'm fine grandma, just thinking." Benny said, returning his gaze back to Ethan's sleeping figure. Ethan had taken his shoes off in the car and had gotten a blanket to cover up with as he curled up next to Benny. Benny had his arm around Ethan's shoulder and slowly brought it to his Ethan's head, lightly intertwining his fingers in his hair and smiling. He remembered all those nights long ago, the memories the two had as they would stay up late and watch horror flicks. Both of them jumping and getting closer to each other till their hands touched. Or when Benny or Ethan would have a nightmare, they would crawl in bed together and hold each other till the one who had the bad dream was fast asleep. He remembered the two of them were on a boat once and Ethan playfully acted like Rose from Titanic and went to the front of the ship and told Benny to be Jack. Benny playfully went along and held his best friend up in his arms and Ethan screamed "I'm on top of the world!" and Ethan's parents and Grandma Weir stared on, smiling. Ethan's parents had always known deep down that their son was different. They had always hoped if anything that he would end up with his best friend Benny, someone they knew wouldn't hurt their little boy, and he had.
Somewhere in the great beyond Ethan's mom was taking her husbands hand.
"Oh Ross! They did it! I'm so proud of our little baby boy!" Mrs Morgan said, her husband taking her in his arms. Jane stood beside her parents smiling at her brother and Benny together, a lone tear running down her cheek as she took her mothers and fathers hand.
"Mom, Dad, I'm glad Ethan finally found happiness! I just wish it could have been with us there along side him!" Jane said happily.
"I do to sweetie, I do to!" Ross said back, clouds beginning to overtake them, tears running down their cheeks as they waved goodbye to their Ethan for the last time, finally clouds taking them forever.
As Benny intertwined his fingers in Ethan's hair he brought his face close and pressed his lips against Ethan's forehead. Benny could hear Ethan taking deep breaths as he dreamed. And taking his hands he slowly and softly caressed Ethan's cheek and a slow tear began to make its way down Benny's cheek.
"Oh E, I sure will miss the old memories, but I can't wait to start new ones with you. I know that together, we can accomplish anything and do anything. And I also know that somewhere out there, your family is watching you, and that they are so proud of you E! Because I know I am! I love you E!" Benny said softly yet sweetly, pressing his lips to Ethan's forehead before finally resting his head on Ethan's and letting sleep consume him as well.
So I tried making this chapter very emotional! I hope it worked! Can't wait for your guys reviews!
