The others are hiding in the bushes while I wait on the gazebo steps. I check my watch...nearly twenty minutes have went by and Jesse still hasn't appeared. Maybe he did discover the truth. That's when he approaches from the path.
"Sorry Sara, I was just getting a snack." he smirks. "You really need to try hunting among the human populace."
"Maybe later." I try shrugging his comment off in an attempt to buy time for everyone else to get in place. "You're alone?"
He ignores my question, "Do I smell a newborn?"
"You know, I've been smelling that too...it's almost like one followed me to the park." I want to smirk as well, but I'm afraid he'll pick it up.
"Come out whoever you are!" Jesse yells into the bushes.
A leaf falls from the tree above me, Erica's signal that they're in place.
"There's no one there Jesse." I state, that's my signal.
Erica lands solidly on her feet behind me while Ethan and Rory come out of the bushes behind and to the left of Jesse.
"I thought they abandoned you and..." he whirls around to face Ethan "You said he was dead."
"Face it, you failed this time." Erica snorts, "And don't expect pity, you messed with my best friend's boyfriend so you're going down."
I think Rory's about to do one of his ridicolous pouncing moves until Erica glares at him.
"Is this really what you want Sara?" Jesse asks. "Do you really want nerd boy to be your forever?"
"Considering he'd treat me much better than you ever did, it's fine by me." I snort at Jesse.
"So what are you going to do, stake me?"
"Oooh, he thinks too!" Erica says sarcastically while handing me a stake.
"No you're not." Jesse whirls around to run and in an attempt to get a hostage grabs Benny?
"What are you doing here?" Ethan and I both hiss at him at the same time.
"Apparently being held hostage." Benny gulps.
"You're going to get yourself killed Benny!"
"I couldn't let you vampires have all the fun."
Jesse takes this oppurtunity to try to taunt Ethan as well, "see, you nerds always mess everything up."
"Don't listen to Jesse."
Something flies through the air and lands on Jesse's back...great, Rory definitely did his ridicolous pouncing move. This would be the point when it would be entirely appropriate to say that other place besides heaven is breaking loose...all of it.
I decided to put the battle into multiple chapter's because the last time I did a battle between the good and the bad and put it into one chapter, the death was not noble enough for the villian (watches you look at me like what do you mean "not noble enough for the villian.") and I ended up hating it after I became obsessed with the actor that played said villian...I doubt I'll end up obsessing over whoever plays Jesse, but still...
