Welcome to chapter 3 of The Fledgling! I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's A Vampire, Ethan, Benny, Sarah, or Mr. and Mrs. Morgan...I do own Carrie though.
Carrie: You do?
Me: Oh, right. I forgot I made you an amniesiac.
Carrie: Yes. Yes you did. And why did you do that?
Me:...on with the story
Carrie: Hey, we're not done here!
"Who's this?"
They all stood paralyzed for about a minute. Ethan's parents were dressed in thier bowling uniforms and Ethan's dad held what looked like what seemed to be a sportsmanship trophy.
Really? Not even last place?
"Mom! Dad! So good to see you!" Ethan was obviously stalling.
"That's nice dear, but who is this girl?" Mrs. Morgan said. Ethan tried stall more while he tried to think of an excuse. He stood beside Sarah.
"This? This is Sarah. I thought you knew her by now." Mr. Morgan rolled her eyes.
"Ethan ," he said while pointing a finger at Carrie. " I think your mother ment her."
"Oh...this is Carrie. She, uh, got lost. She came by our house and we let her in." He made up. He looked to Benny and Sarah for support. The two nodded eagerly.
"Oh," Mrs. Morgan said her eyesbrows raised, "do you go to White Chapel High too?" She looked to Carrie for an answer, who obviously didn't have one. So Ethan covered for her.
"Homeschooled. But, we've seen her around so we know her. Right, Carrie?" He looked at Carrie and prayed that she would just go with it. She waited a few moments before answering.
"Yeah..."
Ethan's mom and dad's mouths made an understanding 'o' shape.
"Carrie, can you find your way home now?" Carrie's eyes darted from Ethan's parents to Ethan.
"Actually,no, I can't"
Ethan's eyes widened. What is she doing?
"I'm pretty far off. I tripped and hit my head on a rock. Now I can't remember a thing."
Wow, Benny thought, Amneisa Girl is good at lying.
Ethan's mom rushed over to Carrie and her 'mom insincts' took over.
"Oh, sweetie are you okay? We need to get you to a hospital."
"NO!" All the kids screamed. Mrs. Morgan started at them with confusion.
"I mea," Ethan lied. "We called them while you guys were gone. He came over and perscribed her some special fruit punch to help her get her memory back. Benny's grandma is picking it up." By 'special fruit punch' he meant the blood substitute. He was pretty sure Benny and Sarah knew too.
"Well, you're welcome to stay here tonight. I'm going to kiss Jane goodnight and I'll show you to the guest room." Mr. and Mrs. Morgan headed upstairs to Jane's room and left the supernatural teens alone.
"I'm going to call grandma to tell her to bring more blood substitute." Benny pulled out his green phone and dialed Granda Wier's number.
"Sarah!"Mrs. Morgan called, "I left your babysitting money on the table!" Sarah turned to Ethan. "Well, I better go." as she passed Ethan she whispered in his ear, "If anything goes...wrong, just call me." And with that she grabbed her money from the table and left. Ethan turned to the fledging.
"Hey."
Her head popped up.
"Thanks for, er, lying. I didn't think you'd go along with it." Carrie gave a half smile.
"Thanks for covering for me. And taking me in your , what's this 'blood substitue' ?"
"Its this potion Benny's grandma makes. It kinda satisfies the hunger for vampires anf flrdglings who don't wanna drink human blood." Carrie nodded.
"What should I call them? They're your parents right? Who's Jane?"
Ethan was overwhelmed at the number of question she gave him. He replayed them over in his head until he was sure he got the right answers and the right order.
"Mr. and Mrs. Morgan. Yes. My little sister."
Her eyes narrowed and she gave another half smile.
"Ethan Morgan..."
He nodded at the sound of his full name. Her eyes softened and so did her smile.
"That's a cool name."
Ethan lifted his brow. Nobody has ever called anything of his cool. Not even his name.
"Uh, thank you?"
Next thing they knew, Ethan's mom called Carrie up to the guest room. Ethan went to his his room and prepared for was about to go to sleep when he heard a knock on his door. His mother and Carrie came in.
"Ethan, my pjs are too big for Carrie and obviously she can't fit into Jane's so can she borrow some of yours?" The fourteen-year-old blushed furiously. He hadn't ever had a girl wear his clothes before. It was kinda a sign of...he didn't want to think it. Before he could answer his mom thanked him and left. Carrie pursed her lips.
"Well?"
"Well, what?"
"Aren't you going to give me some clothes?"
"Oh...right."
Ethan searched his drawers for the smallest clothes he had for her petite frame. He came up with a white T-shirt and Superman patterened pants. He turned around to give them to her but she wasn't paying attention to him anymore. She was looking around his room at all of his action fiugures and comic books. She settled on a Green Lantern comic and began to read it. This gave Ethan a chance to study her features.
She had medium length curly brunette hair that was parted to the side. Her chocolate brown eyes were big with long black lashes from them. She wasn't fat but wasn't skinny. Her hieght looked around 5'2' so Etham towered over her. She had on dark jeans and a gray shirt covereed with a black jacket. Her pale skin suited her well. Ethan wouldn't admit it but she was definatly beautiful. After he was done examing her he cleared his throat. She looked up from her comic book to Ethan.
"Do you like comic books?"
"How and I supposed to know?"
Ethan mentally slapped himself remembering that she couldn't remember a thing. "Sorry." She didn't answer but looked at Ethan skeptically. He handed her the pajamas. She continued to look at him.
"What?"
"Action figures, comic books, and Superman pants...You're a nerd, aren't you?'
Ethan bit his lip and shrugged his shoulders. Carrie sighed. "That's okay."
He laughed. "You're not planning on sleeping in these."
"No, but it'll be nice to change into something comfortable. Even if it is dorky pants." They both laughed.
"Good night." Carrie said as she turned to the door.
"Wait!" Ethan called. She stopped and turned around.
"Yes?"
"You're not gonna...feed on my family are you?" Carrie giggled.
"If I could still dream, I wouldn't dream of it." Ethan felt relieved that he could sleep with no worries tonight. But, he was wrong.
Later in the night, Ethan wasn't worrying, but he still couldn't sleep. He decided to go down to the kitchen for a glass of milk. He turned the light switch on. Big mistake. He heard a gasp and a glass full of red liquid crashed to the floor. The creature that was drinking it, turned around and beared her fangs at Ethan.
Phew! That was long! Sorry for the cliff hanger, I'm just too lazy to keep on writing.
Carrie: *mutters* Yeah, too lazy to keep writing and give my memory back.
Me: Quiet you! It adds more suspense.
Carrie: Sure it does.
Me: Well, at least I'm not the one who has a little crush on one of the 2 nerds of My Babysitters a Vampire!
Carrie: *glares evilly*
Me Oh, yeah. I went there.
Thanks for reading!
