Disclaimer - Don't own MBAV, wish i did though!

Thanks to all my reviewers. sorry about not replying to all reviews personally. I just got out of the hospital and want to update quickly so you all have your new chapter!

A/N: Hey, I'm sooooooo sorry for the late chapter. I've been uber busy! I been trying to go back to school and trying to find a new place for me and my boyfriend to live. Plus Dustin's(bf) son has been coming over every week. But non of that is an excuse for keeping you all waiting over a month! I've also had a serious case of writter's block. But I'm doing my best. I'm also wanting you all to know that instead of Sarah talking to a vampire council like thing she's talking to a supernatural council.

Chapter 3 The Council

Sarah walked into Benny and Ethan's house after being let in by Grandma Weir. She found the boy she was looking for on the couch doing his homework. She cleared her throat and Ethan looked up.

"Ethan, I have a favor to ask of you!"

"What's up?" Ethan asked curiously.

Sarah looked at her feet, "I got a summons from the council! It said I could bring a guest for support or as a witness. I was wondering if you could come for support? I don't know what I did and the letter didn't specify."

Ethan raised an eyebrow, "The council?"

"Apparently there is a group of supernatural beings that try to keep the balance! I'm not really sure who they are and I didn't know they existed till I got this summons." Sarah said all this very quickly.

Grandma Weir appeared from the hallway looking concerned, "Sarah, dear, did you say you got a summons from the council?" Sarah nodded. "Do you know who they are?" Sarah shook her head. Grandma Weir sighed. "They are a group of four people, two women and two men. One pair is older and the other is younger, or rather younger looking. I know for a fact that the younger looking woman is in her 290's, but anyways they are each a different supernatural species. The older woman is a seer, the older man is a sorcerer, the young man is a werewolf and the young woman is a vampire. Each supernatural species has a set of rules they must follow didn't you know that?"

"No, what could I have done?" Sarah asked worried.

Grandma Weir shrugged, "It could be a number of things. But to get a summons it must be big. They don't summon people everyday. But then again it is mostly vampires and people with magic who get a summons. To be honest I'm surprised Benny hasn't been summoned for his recklessness."

"It said I could bring a guest for support, should I bring a guest or should I not?"

"I'm sure they wont mind. The older woman is the one who gave that option. Her name is Ada, she's a very nice person. If you're asking Ethan then I think that's a great idea. If they made a mistake then he can vouch for you," Grandma Weir said with a reassuring smile.

"Wouldn't you be a better choice?" Ethan asked only trying to help Sarah.

Grandma Weir shook her head, "The sorcerer is not that fond of me."

"Oh ok. I'll go with you Sarah I'm sure they made some kind of mistake and I bet they are very reasonable people!" Ethan said confidently.

*Later at the council meeting*

Ethan and Sarah were standing outside this big set of very elegant green doors. Sarah appeared to be very nervous. All that Grandma Weir had told her before they left was good luck. Ethan had the feeling this meeting was going to be brutal. The doors started to open slowly, once the doors were opened Sarah and Ethan walked in. The room was lit by candles it was dim, but not so dim you couldn't see. At what looked like a long judges desk sat four people on the far left was an older woman with snow white hair pulled back into a tight bun. She looked to be very wise and stern. Next to her was the older man, who appeared even sterner than the older woman. He looked to be someone not to cross. Next to him was a young girl who had raven black hair, dull red eyes, and an unreadable expression. Then at the far right side was the young man. He had a very intimidating glow around him. They waited patiently for Sarah and Ethan to walk in front of the desk.

"Sarah Fox, you have been summoned here because you have commited a crime against vampire law," said the young woman. "Who is your guest? Is he support or witness?"

Sarah looked ready to pass out but she cleared her throat and said, "This is Ethan and I'm not sure. I don't know what I'm charged with."

The young woman looked aggitated, "You have been spotted in a graveyard feeding off the dead!"

"What?" Sarah said in disbelief and disgust. "I don't feed off the dead!"

"You will do well to keep your temper, Miss. Fox!" Said the young man.

"I'm sorry, but I've never fed off the dead! I was hunting rats! I don't believe in drinking human blood!"

"RATS! That's a disgrace to vampire kind. You could at least rob a blood bank for blood!" said the young woman. "But your word is not enough to convince us that you aren't feeding off the dead. Feeding off the dead is a crime because it can hurt or kill vampires."

"If you want to clear your name you mus bring us proof that you aren't feeding off the dead," said the older woman in a kind voice.

"Until then you will be escorted around by a fellow vampire. The vampire will be a young woman named Erica, I believe you know her," said the older man.

Sarah was about to say something when the young man said, "Dismissed!"

A/N: Your thoughts? Again sorry about the late chapter!
