Hi! I am estatic! Why? Because there are so many of you who favorited " The Fledgeling" and reviewed! I want to thank you so much! Sorry I haven't updated in a while I've been busy.
Benny: No you haven't. You've been listening to Kpop!
Me: SHUSH! *sigh* Just do the disclaimer, I'm embarassed now...
Benny: Ok. loveistheanswer13 does not own My Babysitter's a Vampire. Happy?
Me:...yes.
*Flashback*
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.
*End of Flashback*
Ethan stood frozen. His eyes were darting from the red stained glass on the floor, to the vampire that was about to kill him. He tried to move but he just stood there, his mouth agape. He mustered up all of his courage to get his words out.
"Carrie, calm down. It's just me." She untensed and sighed.
"Ethan you scared me!" She willed her fangs to unsheath.
Ethan's focus went to the red liquid on the floor. He didn't remember Benny's grandma bringing the substitute.
"I-Is that..." He trailed off. Carrie rolled her eyes.
"Relax, it's the substitute. That old lady came over like an hour ago." Ethan's worries went away and he started to help Carrie clean the glass up. When they were done, Ethan got what he came for: a glass of milk.
"So, you couldn't sleep?" He said trying to make conversation, though the answer was obvious. She scoffed.
"No. It gets boring just staring at the cieling." They both laughed. An awkward silence filled the air. Ethan drew a sharp breath and prepared for what he was about to ask her. It was a long shot, but he had to find out.
"Can I...touch you?"
Carrie's mouth dropped and her eyes grew twice thier size. Ethan realized that she had gotten the wrong message and raised his hands.
"No! No! Not like that! I mean, I get visions!"
"Huh?"
"I get visions of the future when supernatural things make contact with me. Like, when you bumped into me earlier, I got a vision from you. It didn't get quite finished so..."
Carrie eyes narrowed. "That explains it..."
"Explains what?"
"The force." She said like he was supposed to know what he was talking about. He raised his brow.
"Like...Star Wars?" Carrie rolled her eyes.
"No, nimrod. I mean I got this...aura from you. It seemed strong and-"
"And that's why you were so scared of me..." He finished for her. She nodded sheepishly. Ethan shook his head.
"Anyway, back to the question. Can I,like, hold your hand or something?" He looked in her eyes. She bit her lip. Ethan knew it was a long shot.
"Sorry..." She trailed off.
"Nah, its okay. I get that your not really ready to trust someone yet." She gave him an understanding smile and decided to change the subject.
"Well, I might be able to if I even knew my last name!" She joked. Ethan finched. He had never thought about that before. Then, he slowly smiled as he got an idea.
"We could make one up."
She stifled a giggle. "What?"
"I mean, only if you want to..." Carrie thought for a moment while tapping her fingers on the counter top.
"Sure."
The thirteen-year-old fledgeling and the fourteen-year-old seer then stayed up all night deciding on a name, parents' name, birthday, and much more. In that time, Ethan and Carrie gained a little more trust with each other. Well, Carrie still didn't trust Ethan very well, but she gained just a smidge of it for him. They laughed, they cried, and for the first time, Ethan saw Carrie smile for real.
Yeah, I know that wasn't the best chapter in the world, but I thought it would hold you over to at least this weekend. I've gone back to school and I'm really busy and tired. But anyway, thanks to all of you that reviewed! I truly appriciate it!
