And this is all for tonight, folks! I mean, I can't let you have it all! I mean, where would the suspense go? So here's a bit of a triple update. Don't forget to review because that means more updates quicker!


Ethan's POV

Lizzie pulled Benny out the door, and I couldn't help but feel slightly shocked. Where had that come from? When I turned around to ask if they knew why, Erica was facing Sarah.

"Why not?" Erica asked in a hushed voice.

"I told you, I don't drink human blood!" Sarah snapped.

"Fine, then, whatever." Then the Hag from Hades turned and said, "I'm gonna go out for a bite." With her fangs out, she jumped out the window.

"Coming, my buttercup!" Rory called and with a nod towards us, followed Erica out to feed.

"That was…" Sarah started, looking at the place where our friends left.

"Random? Weird?" I supplied, and she smiled at me dryly. But it was such a beautiful smile….

"So…. Since Lizzie and Benny are out on a date, Jane is playing her dance game downstairs, and Erica and Rory are feeding…. What do you wanna do?" Sarah asked me, plopping down on my bed.

My eyes widened. "Date? Since when are they on a date?"

"Oh come on, Ethan! Don't tell me you couldn't see the chemistry." I opened my mouth to reply that, no, I hadn't seen their chemistry, when Sarah added, "Don't you think they'd make just, like, the cutest couple?"

Lizzie had golden brown eyes and long near black hair, like me. Benny, though, had just regular brown hair and hazel-green eyes. Benny was way taller than Lizzie, by like, 8 inches. I couldn't see it.

"Um…? I don't know? I'm a guy; I don't usually see any pairing options, except for with me."

"Oh…. Then who do you see with you?" Sarah asked casually.

"With… Me?" I asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah. What's your type of girl?" She teased, looking at me with interest.

"…Truthfully?" I asked, swallowing hard. Was I going to? Or not?

"Oh yeah. What type of girl attracts the ever so handsome Ethan Morgan?" S-she called me handsome. Sarah called me handsome! "Ethan…? Why are you smiling?"

"Um, sorry." I murmured, tripping over my words, and, horrified, I felt heat rise to my cheeks. If Benny was here, I'd never live that down…. "But, the girl I picture myself with is…." C'mon Ethan! You hang with vampires, fought zombies, hacked down an evil tree, beat the best wrestler and won the school a trophy, stopped an evil witch cheerleader, and you can't ask out a girl? "…you."

Her eyes widened as she sat back. "Ethan…. I…. I have a lot of things going on right now. I'm trying not to drink human blood every single day. And if you and I got close…. It's just, you're blood…." She was having difficulty explaining, but I understood. I remembered back when we fought the evil vampire nurses, and we found my blood is nearly irresistible to vamps. It's like straight out of a Dusk book.

"Well…." Suddenly, a crazy, near brain-dead idea came to me. "Why don't you just… Give in?"

"What?" Sarah asked me shocked, like I had just grown two heads. Which really wouldn't be so weird after all the things we've done.

"Well, I mean, why not?" After a moment, I went to sit next to her on the bed. "You can drink from me. I… I wouldn't mind. I mean, you're already a vampire; we already go to school so why can't we be together? You'll be able to take from me at any time." I added the last part.

"Ethan…. I don't think I can. I don't know if I have the restraint to… stop…." She was saying when I slowly moved in to kiss her. But, at that moment, Rory tumbled into my bedroom.

"Hey guys! I just had the most delicious chipmunk! It was all 'squeak squeak!' and I was all 'argh, nom nom!' It was epic." After a moment, he registered the looks on our faces and our positions. "Oh. Were you two gonna make-out? Sorry, just pretend I wasn't here." He then went back out the window, onto the tree. "Hey Benny, Lizzie! Don't go into Ethan's room! He and Sarah are gonna kiss!" He then poked his head in and, with a smile, gave us thumbs up.

Sarah laughed when he pulled his head out. "This was crazy, anyways. I'm your babysitter! We shouldn't have feelings for each other."

"So… you admit that you have feelings?" I asked her hesitantly as she made her way to the door. She turned halfway and gave me a tired look.

"Look, Ethan…." Sarah was saying when Rory was thrown into the room screaming. I heard pounding footsteps on the stairs, and I saw Rory's eyes narrow. He went to the entrance of my room, and stuck his foot out in front of the door. I heard Lizzie's voice cautioning Benny. My best friend ran to the room but was tripped by Rory.

He fell and tumbled into Sarah, pulling her to the ground. Before the two could stop it, their faces neared and their lips touched. Sarah screamed, and Benny scrambled up.

"Dude!" I shouted in dismay, and I couldn't believe my best friend just kissed the girl I liked. It was an accident, and you know it, a voice whispered to me.

"Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Benny was apologizing when Sarah's hand slapped him. Hard, might I add.

I saw Lizzie wince as she jumped in between Sarah's rampaging. "Sarah, calm down. It was an accident!" Lizzie soothed.

"An accident? You're boyfriend just kissed me!" Sarah snapped, obviously pushed to her limit.

"He tripped! You saw him!" Lizzie was defending Benny while Sarah ran out of the room. Almost as an afterthought, she added, "And he's not my boyfriend!"

For a few minutes later, the room was coated with awkward silence.

Kate's POV

"—and so, I was thinking that maybe we should, just—" Steph was saying. She had been going on and on for a while now, while playing her annoying Green Day and Jap music.

Steph and Lizzie—my best friend—were both like sisters to me, considering I've lived with them for four years.

"Steph." I snapped, pretty annoyed, only wanting to be nuzzled up in my magic Jack the Pumpkin King snuggie, instead of being stuck in an airport for three and a half freaking hours. "I know you're in your 'hyper, happy and talking' mood, but can you just, be quiet for a minute?" She gave me her pout face as I heard a thought cross my mind. You're no fun!

Too bad. I thought back snidely, and fell asleep. A while later, Steph was waking me up. I grumbled, and twisted around in my blue plastic seat. Out of nowhere, I felt a sharp pang in the front of my forehead, which subsided when I looked up.

"What do you want?"

"We're leaving." Steph snapped at me, and turned to pick up her bags and backpack.

I sighed, grabbing my stuff and following her into the terminal and on to the plane. We went to our seats in obedient silence, which I could tell was hard for us. We've been to multiple boarding schools because of our behavior. The first one we went to was together, but they quickly learned that was a bad idea when we set a massive fire to the school on the first day. (No matter what anyone tells you, it was an accident!)

There weren't many people on this flight, so not many people were around us. After a while of doing nothing besides writing on our laptops, Steph had an idea.

"Kate." She whispered and leaned in close.

"Huh?" I asked, confused and disoriented.

"Dude, we need to scry for Lizzie!" She replied mischievously. I smirked, liking where this was going.

"You ka-know it!" Since I was near the aisle, I reached to the storage unit above us, and hesitated. Who's tools? I just reached in and felt a strap. I pulled and saw it was my red plaid bag with my huge amazing buttons.

I brang it onto my lap as I sat, and I pulled out the necessary items for scrying. I put the huge polished black, reflective mirror onto the handle in between me and Steph. I looked around and saw that no one was coming, so I lit the purple and blue candles. We stared into the stone mirror, seeing the flame, and only thought Lizzie.

After a few minutes of staring into the stone, we slowly started to see the image shift. We saw a boy's bedroom that had a huge shelf covering most of one wall, a desk with a computer and small gaming system, and a big blue bed. There were four people in the room; Three boys and one girl, which I recognized as Lizzie.

"Whoa…." Steph murmured after we watched them interact without sound.

"I know, right? It's a wicked convergence of magical energies!" I sighed happily, already feeling the energy seep into my bones and make me recharged.

"What? No, I mean the blonde kid. His hair is amazing."

"Oh wow, Steph. But—" I paused, my eyes wide. "Whoa…. Look at that guy's Star Wars shirt!" I murmured in awe. We both stared at the scene until it slowly faded out.

At that moment, the pilot had put on the speaker, and was telling us to buckle up, and that we'd be landing soon. Huh. Looks like multiple hours of flight time went down the drain.

As soon as we got off the plane, we'd go to our hotel room for the night. Then, tomorrow, we'd be landing in Whitechapel.

Shivering off my last bit of humanity, I swooped in for the kill.
