A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with another spooky chapter!
Last chapter was a bit gory, but I assume you already knew that was coming, huh? I mean, it is a horror story after all. But it'll get even more scarier and just creepy in general, so I hope you are ready for that, my friends! I can reassure you, it is going to be a wild ride from here! I got it all planned out!
But recap on the last chapter - it was a bit different, huh? I introduced you to the main OC: Audrey - a troubled, auburn colored hair teen who is thirsty for revenge - and I left a few clues on who may be a new mystery person is as well. Remember this; not everyone died, am I right?
So Audrey went to stay at some mean girls' party, and she just lost it and killed everyone with a silver axe, mimicking what had happened three months ago in Whitechapel, with the deadly specter. Spooky stuff, eh kids?
This chapter, we are going to see where our heroes are now, starting from where the last book ended; with the revelation of the last murder.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter; I had a lot of fun writing it! Because even if they are all young adults, they are still teens at heart, am I right?
Disclaimer: I don't own MBAV or its characters. I also don't own the Hunger Games or its characters, and Death Note or its characters. I don't own Star Wars, or Harry Potter. I don't own that reference to 'Blank Space' by Taylor Swift in the title. I do, however, own Audrey, any other OCs you don't recognize, and this plot.

P.S- Everyone is a bit OOC here. I mean, their personalities will shine through this piece, but because of the previous events of the last book, everyone's a bit traumatized...
The Terror Of Whitechapel

Chapter 2: And I'll Write Your Name
...
She fiddled with the three pieces of paper in her hands as she wrapped her black trench coat around her slim waist. She mumbled a few things, sighing as she looked up at the old, black manor that towered above the girl with auburn colored hair.
The abandoned mansion had stood there for a long time now - probably over a decade, as far as she knew. And she had visited it as a child almost every single day, when she still could. Eventually, her parents got worried about her safety, and decided to buy the mansion so they could possibly renovate it, and sell it for more money - they were real estate agents after all, so what they were doing kind of made sense.
But the college girl just frowned upon hearing the idea; she didn't like it much, since she loved how ominous and dark the mansion was, anyway. So she got her parents to get away for a while, and she had decided to at least hold a party here before it was too late.
Because time was running out fast; she was in her last year of college, and she would never have the opportunity to host another party again - not unless she didn't want to take her life seriously, of course. On top of all that, he had already left to resume his work as the head officer at the local police station. She had always said 'hi' to that emerald eyed boy, and tried her best to be visible to the man of her dreams - yeah, Greg was just a small crush, ready to be eliminated - but he would never respond, pursuing a girl that she thought would never come back.
She did.
And now Audrey was upset; add that son of a bitch to the list, huh?
She stared at the invitation in her hands, finding herself smirking slightly.
Halloween Party At The Whitechapel Manor: Halloween Night, starting at 9:00 pm - 12:00 am
Hosted by: The Girl With Auburn Hair
Bring your costumes...and your lives ;)
She had made it so ominous and mysterious, the invitation she had wrote. In no way was she going to actually reveal herself, especially when he'd be there, his police skills and his "scooby gang" coming to the whole thing.
She grinned; just as planned.
As she stared at the picture of the boy with ruffly brown hair, she stared at the last piece of paper - a list of names.
xx
- Melanie Hepburn -
- Marley Fitz -
- Gracelyn Monroe -
- Ruby Noel -
- Tiffany Gold -
Greg Harrison
All the names were scratched out, except for 'Greg Harrison'. Rumor has it that he was going to attend the party she was hosting tomorrow night.
'Perfect,' She thought with an evil smile. 'Just perfect'
She pulled out a blood-inked pen, stared at the boy with emerald eyes on the picture, and smiled evilly as she scribbled the name onto the ivory piece of paper, holding onto it before it could fly away into the velvet, night sky. A smirk was written on her face as she smiled, the , very real, blood - not really ink, of course - soaking onto the old sheets of paper.
Benny Weir
xx
T'was the night before Halloween, and Ethan had called everyone over to his house for a meeting.
Despite the fact that Ethan and Benny had cut off communication ever since the blood-lust specter plagued Whitechapel - heck, Benny wasn't even talking to anyone - this was some serious business, needed to be discussed together. Erica and Sarah had come to Whitechapel once again to deal with the situation, and Rory, Ethan and Benny had taken a few days off work to deal with this situation as well.
"So there is another murderer," Sarah said slowly. "who kills with a silver axe..." Erica sighed, flicking her pencil a bit at the end of the table.
"...just like the specter." Erica finished off, and the three vampires looked nervously at the two mortal friends, who weren't making eye contact with each other at all. An aggressive vision stirred up in Benny's mind...
...
"Benny?!" She shrieked. The boy that once had emerald eyes, now had bloody red ones. Benny cackled as he walked creepily down the porch stairs, Erica slowly getting sucked in the hole in the ground. This eerily reminded Erica of the Val Mudrap incident...
"Hey Erica. Miss me?"
...
...in which he shuddered at the thought.
"It's not supernatural," Rory said, throwing a ziplock bag onto the table. "I found this at the crime scene." Ethan picked up the ziplock bag and brought it closer to the little light that shone through the windows. He frowned.
"Is this..." He murmured. Rory nodded.
"Yeah, it's an actual glove. Black, of course. We were able to find a fingerprint on it, probably from when the person was carrying it before hand." Rory grinned. "It's sooo cool being a forensic scientist," He added with his perky smile. Erica frowned.
"You know, even if you are, like, 20 now, you are kind of acting like a dork, dork." Erica remarked hastily, checking her fingernails. Rory rolled his eyes.
"Hey!" He exclaimed loudly. "I matured." He added in protest. Benny rolled his eyes at the one, still not choosing to speak as Ethan smirked, as if almost reading Benny's thoughts exactly. He smiled at Rory.
"Says the guy who texted me about his Marvels collectables last night." Ethan said, and Rory just blushed. Sarah sighed.
"Guys?" She cleared her throat. Ethan looked sheepishly at the ground as Erica bit her lip, holding back a cackle. Rory nodded quickly.
"Okay!" He said in a bubbly manner. Everyone waited silently for Rory to answer, but he just stared off into space. Ethan snapped his fingers in front of Rory's face, and Rory just smiled again, before nodding in understand.
"Oh!" He exclaimed, earning a collective groan from his friends - 'looks like Rory didn't really change after the bloody experience,' Benny thought quietly. Rory pulled out something from his jacket pocket, the scene changing into a serious one again.
"The fingerprints belonged to a girl named Audrey Teather." Rory explained, throwing the paper out on the table for all to see. It was laced with black string through holes, and it was a grey background. A picture of a spider was drawn onto it, and the font was a crimson red.
"We checked this invite," Rory said, shuddering at the memory. "and the font is actual blood." Sarah's eyes widened.
"You mean she used blood as ink?" Sarah said in shock. Erica gagged. "Ew. So gross." Erica frowned. "Probably tasty though," She added, licking her lips, a gleaming fang showing, and Sarah just rolled her eyes. Rory nodded.
"Apparently, she is going to hold a party as 'The Girl With Auburn Hair'. We probably will see her in a black jumpsuit, which might have been her outfit at the scene of crime." Rory said, waving his hands animately to prove his point. Ethan sighed.
"Why don't you just arrest her if you know who she is?" Rory shook his head.
"She went off the grid ever since that night occurred. We don't her whereabouts at the moment. All we know is she sent two girls to the hospital with concussions, and left three girls dead at something she attended, and just left." Rory said. Erica waved her hand with a raised eyebrow.
"Did you just say whereabouts?" She asked incredulously. Rory just ignored her as Sarah sighed.
"I am going to assume that we are going to have to go undercover at this party, am I right?" She said with a knowing eye. Rory bit his lip.
"Maybe I was the first to volunteer." He mumbled, but Erica heard him, snarling.
"Why the actual fuck would you volunteer?" Erica asked. Ethan nodded. "That's like volunteering for the bloody Hunger Games!" He added. Rory threw his hands up in the air as he looked at all his friends defensively.
"And look where that got Katniss, huh? She got married!" He said in protest. "I think," He added. Ethan shrugged.
"Yeah, but at what cost? Her sister died." He retorted, and Erica gave Ethan the finger.
"Fuck you, I was almost done Mockingjay!" She said with a hiss, and Ethan stepped back a bit. Benny just sighed loudly as Rory continued to prove his point.
"And I volunteered because it's a party!" He said with a small smile. "What better way to get the gang to reunite than a party, am I right?" Erica scoffed.
"Yeah, a party. The loot bag happens to be your death, too." Erica said sarcastically, and Rory just crossed his arms.
"But we are Team V, remember?" Everyone stared at the blonde vampire. "This girl is just a human - there were no signs of supernatural being in her DNA. We beat monsters, specters, and worse things than a mortal. That means we can arrest someone at a party, right?" Everyone seemed to agree -
"No." A firm voice stated.
Everyone whipped their heads around to see Benny, standing at the door of Ethan's house. Ethan was the first to stand and walk slowly to his best friend, trying to dodge away any images of his eyes bleeding, or his skin peeling off...
"The nerd speaks." Erica said in a sarcastic wonder, and Benny just frowned. Sarah looked at Benny nervously.
"What do you mean 'no'?" Sarah asked. Ethan nodded. "We have to save this town, like we always do. And Rory's right; we aren't gonna let a human stop us." Benny groaned, shaking his head as he rubbed his temples.
"But Erica's right too; we are bargaining our lives here. And I know this chick," Everyone stared at Benny.
"You do?" Ethan asked slowly. Benny nodded, back still faced to his friends, his eyes at the door.
"Audrey Teather. Auburn colored hair, silky brown eyes, etc. She's an English major in university, and is in her last year. I was two years ahead of her." He said, looking down. Erica flicked her tongue as Sarah uneasily stepped back from the spellmaster.
"Since when did you know this much about this 'Audrey' girl?" She questioned. Rory saw the blush that was creeping up Benny's face, and he grinned.
"You liked her, didn't you?" Benny shrugged, looking at his friends again - avoiding Ethan's face.
"She was nice and all," He felt his ears go pink. "but we didn't really chat. I was too nervous to ask her out or anything, and she always said hi. Besides..." He avoided yet another person's glance, fiddling with his thumbs. "I kind of liked someone else. I was just waiting." He sighed.
"I turned her down gently, but she hated me as soon as I left." He said. Rory frowned.
"Someone else?" Rory's eyes lit up like Christmas lights. "Wait. You don't mean -" Ethan nudged Rory in the ribs, and he yelped. Sarah smirked, and strangely, Erica found herself blushing discreetly to herself. Benny sighed again, turning around and opening the door. He paused, and closed it again.
"That girl is nuts, and if it is true that she is making a list of people who she is waiting to kill, I am pretty sure I'd be part of that list." He said, shivering. Erica laughed.
"Don't be so full of yourself, dork." She said with a smile. "If it is true, that she's mimicking the specter, she probably will go for one a night." Sarah shook her head.
"Not exactly; what about the first night? Audrey killed three girls, and sent two to the hospital." She remarked, and Erica gritted her teeth, nodding as if she were saying "True point," in her usual, snarky demeanor.
"Plus, I don't want to save this town if I killed half the people in it," Benny whispered, slipping on his police jacket. Ethan growled at his best friend.
"Don't you fucking say that anymore, Benny!" He roared, silencing everyone. Ethan sighed.
"I just don't want you to blame yourself. You're my best friend - despite anything that happened.
A tear rolled down Benny's waist as he just sighed, opening the door and walking out into the cool breeze. Ethan offered everyone the chance to stay at his place, and they reluctantly agreed, deciding to leave it at that, waiting for the night of Halloween to come.
October 31st: Whitechapel Manor - 8:54 pm
Rory was dressed up as Iron Man as he smiled at a bunch of college people. He flashed a smile at one of the cute college girls who dressed up as a maid, and she gigged, staring at Rory's muscles that he had worked out over the years. (Side note; Cameron Kennedy is jacked now. Actually. It's hot.)
"Hey, Rory!" A voice said from behind. Rory turned around and grinned, seeing Ethan, who was dressed up as Hans Solo. Rory grinned, hi-fiving the Seer.
"Wassup, dude? Glad you made it!" He said with a grin. Ethan nodded.
"Me too; traffic was heavy though. Seems like the whole town got an invite. Mostly the teens and the college students, though." Rory laughed.
"Ha! Teenagers." He said, and Ethan just rose an objective eyebrow, eyes falling on his two girls. He nearly gaped at the sight.
Erica was dressed up as some anime girl from a series that Rory usually watched, but that wasn't what Ethan was staring at. He was staring at Sarah, who dressed up as a stereotypical vampire - a velvet dress that stopped at her knees, black eyeliner, and her real fangs popped out. Ethan smiled, stumbling towards her, nearly dropping his lightsaber.
"H-Hey, Sarah. Y-You look...nice!" He said, stumbling between words. Sarah smiled, ignoring the attempt at a flirt.
"Thanks, Ethie!" She said with a wink. "I decided to embrace my inner vampiress, and dress up like a vampire? You know what they say: 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'!" She said with a grin, and Ethan just nodded rapidly.
Meanwhile, Rory and Erica were busy talking.
"No way!" Rory exclaimed. "You watch Death Note?" Erica nodded.
"Yeah, I love Death Note! You probably know who I am, right?" Rory nodded.
"Of course! Misa Amane! She's sooo hot." Erica smiled, flipping her straight hair, that was pointed in ponytails.
The four young adults huddled, facing the dark and shady manor, a bolt of lightning dancing in the sky. Rory gulped.
"So it's just us, huh?" Ethan was about to respond when a hand squeezed his shoulder. He jumped, turned around, then smiled.
"All of us." Benny said, wrapping his Harry Potter scarf around his neck as Ethan smiled.
"Then let's go."
The clock rang its bell nine times, and the doors of the mansion swung open. There was no one at the door, but everyone waiting outside flooded into the mansion, music banging in the air and neon lights swirling around the dark place. Erica sighed.
"Let's do this." She said, and they all marched in, ready to fight.
9:01 pm
"You don't want this!" Greg Harrison rambled, dropping his notepad onto the grass of the backyard of the dark manor. The girl, dressed up as a black cat, auburn hair peeking out as a ponytail. Her black tail swiftly swayed in the wind, and she grinned, holding the axe as she pulled her mask back.
"Do you recognize me, Greg?" Audrey whispered. "DO YOU?"
Greg shook his head, and Audrey roared, driving the axe through Greg's chest, blood spewing out as he coughed out blood, and died on the ground, blood soaking the notebook and the grass.
Audrey smiled as she pulled out her list and crossed Greg's name out. She dragged Greg's bloody body into a bush and dashed back into the party, blood on her shoes. She smiled as she saw a emerald eyed boy dressed up as Harry Potter, drinking from the punch bowl. She hid behind the counter as the Harry Potter dressed boy drank the punch hole.
'One more' she thought with an evil smile. 'Just one more.'
Little did she know that someone in the crowd hastily threw a spell around, and it hit a small spider on the wall.
...
"Any luck?" Sarah asked Ethan. Ethan shrugged.
"Not really." He replied, sipping his beer. Sarah looked at it and smirked. Ethan shrugged.
"What?" He asked. "It's a college party; I'm blending in." He protested, and Sarah just giggled.
"Ouch!" Ethan suddenly yelped, clutching his neck, nearly dropping his beer. Sarah frowned as she saw a spider crawl of Ethan's shirt.
"Are you okay?" She asked, looking at his neck. A small bite was on his pale skin, and Ethan just laughed shakily.
"Just a spider." He said with a smile, and Sarah just nodded, walking away as Ethan stumbled over to the food section, the bite in his neck burning a bit, and a single piece of cobweb sticking out of his hair.
A/N- Not much creepiness in this one; you're lucky!
Anyway, maybe you caught a few hints towards the next chapter, but here you go! Until next Saturday!
