A/N- Oh my gizzle...we are here. The final chapter of Best Friends! I have been dreaming of how I would want to end this story, and I think I've found a good way to end it.
Instead of doing review shoutouts, I thought I would mention anyone who reviewed, favorited, or followed this story.
Thanks to...
MBAV Fan (Thank you for being there from my first story!)

Thanks to everyone who has read this story (I should know, there was more than 900 views!) and I hope you enjoy this more than you reviewed it!
Disclaimer- I don't own MBAV or its characters, just my OC Sky and this crazy plot twist! If I did, I would personally add Sky to the series and make her and Benny date! (Wait a minute...I could do that myself in this series...hmm...) I also don't own Close Your Eyes by Meghan Trainor.
Enjoy!
Best Friends: Chapter 15: Re-Vamped Part 2
Have you ever felt something happen so fast? So fast that if you blinked, you would miss it?
Let me give you an example; say you were trying to get Taylor Swift concert tickets on the internet. When they finally go on sale. You squeal in happiness; you have been waiting 5 hours for this moment. But with one blink of an eye, they're sold out.
Or if you wake up at 3:00 am already in your clothes and drive to the nearest Apple Store, thinking that you beat the line for the new IPhone 6, next thing you know, you are 3173 in line.
You think everyone and everything can go slower, like time itself can just suddenly stop.
But everything comes in the blink of an eye, whether you like it or not.
And if you don't come fast enough, you'll miss it.
Third Person POV
Sky watched in fear as she saw Jesse push Benny off the roof. He lost balance and slipped right off the edge of the roof. She screamed in complete terror as Jesse smiled.
"See you soon." He cackled one more laugh as he flew off. Erica and Rory stood up slowly as Sky ran towards the edge. She looked down.
"Benny! BENNY?!" She screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks as the rough surface teared her baby blue dress. She waited seconds for a response.
None came.
She sobbed. "B-Benny? P-Please...answer me!"
Silence filled the night sky as she cried.
"N-No...P-Please no...DEAR GOD DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME PLEASE!" Sky screamed at the moon as she collapsed in tears. She looked at Rory and Erica, who were at her side.
"C-Can't you fly down to see if he's okay? P-Please!" They shake their head sadly. "Jesse. He did something that took our strength away. We...couldn't stop him." Erica said in tears. Rory sniffed. "I am so so sorry Sky! I wish I could do something!" Sky shook her head, wiping her tears. "I-It isn't your fault guys...Benny...he wouldn't want you crying." They nod.
Their voices echoed through the sky. Suddenly, a fourth one emerged.
"S-Sky?"
Their eyes widen. "That voice...it's coming from down below!" Rory exclaimed. Sky leaned forward, her eyes meeting emerald ones.
And sure enough, hanging from the window ledge, was Benny, his face written with fear. Sky saw a glimpse of red blood dripping from Benny's arm. He looked like he couldn't hang on any longer. "H-Help...p-please!" He yelled weakly.
"I'm going after him!" Sky yelled. Erica pulled her back. "Let me go! I need to save Benny!"
Erica looked into her eyes. "Sky, it's way too dangerous. You...you could die!" She weakly smiles.
"Die? Who cares?! If Benny dies, I die. He...he means everything to me. And I am going after him." Erica and Rory exchange looks. Rory smiles.
"Be safe out there Sky." She nods.
Sky looked down, fear consuming her. I got this. This...this is for Benny.
Her eyes fall on the thin window ledges of the classrooms. She gulped. Long way down...thin edges. She takes a deep breath. Here I go...
She carefully places on foot onto the edge, then her other one. She yelps in fear as she turns around. She was basically wall walking on the edge.
She slowly walks to the end of the window ledge, her eyes falling on Benny. He struggled to get a grip. She shuddered.
He's two ledges down...I...I'm gonna have to jump onto the next ledge to grab him.
"D-Don't...S-Sky..I know what you're t-thinking...and please d-don't...I don't want t-to lose you..." Benny said, the cut on his arm still bleeding. She looked into his eyes.
"Lose? Never. I...I always win. Sky Bryans always wins!"
And with all the courage she had, she jumped.
Let's go faster.
Faster than the blink of an eye, faster than the speed of light and sound combined, a certain emotion can rocket through you, catching you by surprise.
That's how fast fear can consume someone.
Wanna know something even faster sometimes?
Death.
The aftermath of fear, sometimes, it is so fast that someone can't handle it. They close their eyes, breath their last breath...
Then death soars through them.
But for the mere 3 seconds Sky Bryans was in the air, it certainly felt like she had something that no other has. Something faster than death, something eating up fear. It rushed through her body, like a bullet.
She had courage.
Sky's POV
I landed swiftly on the edge above Benny. I panted, struggling to take the feeling that I almost died. But then it hit me.
I actually survived.
A tired smile was written across my face. I'm alive...I...am still a living being! I carefully went on my knees and looked below me.
Benny's weak eyes looked at mine. I reach out for my hand.
"GRAB ON!" He smiles weakly as he gets the last of his strength and grabbed my hand. With all the strength I had left, I pulled him up. Rocks from the window ledge crumpled to the bottom of the school as Benny sat on the window ledge.
"H-Hey..." He murmured. I smile. "H-Hey B..." He returns a tired smile. "T-Thank you. A-Are the others okay?" I roll my eyes as I smile playfully.
"Really Benny...you should be worrying about yourself. What happened to your arm?" His eyes fell on the cut on his arm.
"Jesse. He knew that I had H-Deficient spellmaster blood, and that it was my life source. He cut me so I could go weak when I was hanging on the ledge, y'know, if I actually survived." I smile as I look up.
Sarah was hovering over the window ledge.
Her hair was straighter and she had a devious smile on her face.
She...she's a full vampire now...
"You need some help there? And I'm not taking no for an answer." We smile at her as she flew towards us. She carried us both to the top of the roof. I smiled as I saw Rory and Erica's faces.
"You're alive!" Rory hugged us. I smile. "Yup. Who said I was going anywhere?" I sat Benny down as I wipe the blood on his arm with a cloth I kept in my bag. "Your tux. It's...a bit red." He looked down and shrugged. "Blue and red go fine together...I think."
We laugh. Erica speaks up. "Sarah, where's Ethan?" She frowns sadly.
"I left him at the house. I...I think I'm gonna leave for a while." Our eyes widen. She covers up quickly. "Not for a long time though...I...I just need time to adjust. I bit Ethan...I don't think I can handle it." We nod silently.
"Be safe Sarah." She smiles at us. "Promise to tell Ethan I love him?" We nod.
With a heavy heart, Sarah looks at us for a last time.
"Bye guys."
And with that, she flew off into the night sky.
Third Person POV
Sky and Benny walk into the gym, surprised that the dance wasn't over yet.
Rory and Erica have gone home to regain their strength. Ethan found out about Sarah, and said that although he was devastated, he understood her reason and said he was going to be fine. Sky and Benny stood near the snack bar.
"I can't believe all that happened." Sky murmured. Benny nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you were pro on those ledges girl!"
They laughed. A beep was heard through Sky's bag. She pulled out her phone and gasped. Benny's eyes widen as he read the text along with Sky.
Jesse may be gone, and you might all be alive, but don't get too comfortable. Let's remember I am still here. And along with accomplices, I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve.
Because I am just a shadow to everything you do.
~Shadow
"Who is the Shadow anyway? Whoever it is, has tried to destroy every plan we come up with." Benny commented. Sky shrugged. "We'll find out eventually. We always do." He smiles.
Suddenly, the lights in the gym glistened a bunch of light colors as the fast song slowed down. Sky's eyes widen as her smile grew. "I love this song!" Benny blushed as he looked down.
"Doyouwanttodance?!" He covered his mouth in surprise. "What?" Sky rose an eyebrow in confusion. Benny took a deep breath and smiled.
"Sky Bryans, do you want to dance?" She smiles. "As friends of course. Y'know...a..friendly dance. This is your favorite song after all..." He added quickly. She blushed as she nodded.
"Yes. I will." Benny smiled as he dragged her onto the dance floor.
Everybody's on the same page
No new chapters
We'll never change
Everybody wants to be cool
Yes they do
I'm just like them
But I won't be no fool
I guess I could waste all my time and my money just trying to look right
But it doesn't change who I am in my heart if I look like a dime
"I...I don't know how to dance Benny..." Sky stuttered, feeling a new rush of nervousness. He smiled gently. "I won't judge." She giggled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
So I want you to close your eyes
Sing to the world tonight
And show them what's beautiful
I don't care what they think
No, I'm not listening
'Cause I know I'm beautiful
So close your eyes
Show them what's beautiful
Show them what's beautiful
Gonna' show them...
Show them what's beautiful
Show them what's beautiful
"Promise me Benny, you won't ever leave me." Sky whispers. He smiles.
"I won't Sky. I promise." He whispers.
"You will be my best friend forever.
A/N- And that concludes Best Friends! To be honest, I almost cried when I finished this; I worked my butt off trying to make this interesting. So I hope you enjoyed this!
So regarding to what comes next. Since the first chapter of my Christmas Special will be revealed on December 14th, there will be a little waiting for the next addition to the Friend Series. But worry not, I will be working hard on the Christmas Special so I could post a new chapter everyday.
But in the meanwhile, I will continue to post chapters to Dear MBAV Writers and What If, maybe even one-shots!
So until then, review and see you soon!
In Fangs We Trust.
