Chapter 2
"Morning Pufflepooch; feeling less de-aaahh!" I immediately screamed when it nearly ripped my face off. I slammed the door shut and gulped. I'm so going to kill Benny when I get my hands on him.
"Benny for the tenth time, it's evil and it tried to kill me, do you not care!" I yelled, hitting his arm. He nearly dropped the box with Puffles in it. He glared harshly at me and I returned it.
"Of course I do, you're my best friend but it could've been worse," He told me and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, it could've actually killed me and I would cut you out the will, so no cool stuff for Benny," I teased and stuck my nose in the air. He got on his knees and put the box aside. He grabbed onto my legs almost making me fall over. Other students were giving us weird looks. He laid his head on my stomach and I blushed.
"No! You can't do that to me! You're my only hope at complete nerd collections!" He cried, drawing even more attention to us.
"Benny, I'm sorry just stand up please," I practically begged him. He smirked and stood after grabbing the box.
"Knew embarrassment would work, being your best friend for years has its perks," He laughed and I narrowed my eyes.
"Well anyway back to the dog, did you feed him?" Benny asked as if it was that simple.
"No sorry, I didn't have any dead dog chow lying around," I deadpanned making him rolled his eyes. He stopped when he saw the familiar blonde with her friends.
"Oh there's Della, when she finds out I have Puffles, she'll be all over me, wish me luck," He slinked away, a determined glint in his eye.
"I hope it bites her face off," I muttered, glowering at the blonde. I liked Della; she was sweet which made trying to hate her even harder. This stupid crush was pissing me off. And you don't like a pissed off Ella.
"Bites whose face off?" Sarah asked, coming up to me. She caught Benny trying to give Della the box and slapped her forehead.
"Ok, so what is the wizidiot doing now?" She placed her hands on her hips and quirked a brow. I sighed and told her the story. She just muttered something that sounded like only something Benny would do. A scream made us turn. The dog was biting and gnashing its teeth at Della. She ran away as did anyone in the dogs' way. Benny rushed over to us with a look of distress.
"I don't know what happened, I just gave it to her and it went demon dog!" He squeaked and I slapped the upside of his head.
"Duh, I told you it was evil, it tried to kill me and you care about my nerd collection, it tries to kill your girlfriend and you panic, thanks Benny!" I spat and it seemed they both caught on to it.
"Ok, I'm gonna play this off as PMS or something and ignore what you just said," His eyes were wide in shock. I never yelled at Benny, at least not this seriously and he knew something was up. I breathed in deeply and ignored their stares.
"Benny, get it off!" Della shrieked, causing the boy to spring back to life. He rushed over to her and tried to pry the devil dog off. All over the school, students were scrambling around, trying to get out.
"Attention, due to the recent case of rabid animals, school is hereby cancelled, meaning no more classes, we advise you to go home immediately," The principal announced over the intercom.
Benny and I slammed the door closed to my house after sprinting the whole way from school.
"I hate you," I got out between pants. He just laid his head back on the door and stared at me. His green eyes seemed to see right through me, which was another thing I hated. Benny could read me like a book; I could never hide my emotions from him. I turned pink despite my hardest to control it. I covered my face with my hair and turned towards my couch.
"I think it's time we call in some magical backup," I settled into the soft pillows when Benny finally caught on.
"No, we don't need to tell my grandma," He sat down next to me and pleaded with his eyes for me to reconsider.
"Listen, if the spell did cause this, it'll probably just run out of gas, I'm sure the worst is over," The TV was on for some reason and it was on the news channel.
"This just in, reports all over Whitechapel are coming in from bizarre small animal attacks," The announcer informed us. We winced when we saw a dark green shape leap at him. My eyes widened when I recognized the animal.
"That's Tiberius!" I shouted, making Benny stare harder at the screen.
"Nah!" He shook his head, not believing me.
"Yeah it is, I'd know him anywhere," I looked at the tiny turtle that was now trying to eat the guys' nose off.
"Seriously, he ran away when you were like eight," Benny replied as soon as the station turned.
"We have to talk to your grandma now!" I glared at him and he flinched.
"Can't we just e-mail her?" He asked hopefully, not knowing she had just shown up. We yelped when we finally noticed her. Benny sorta landed in my lap and I was clutching his arm.
"I mean ah, hi grandma," Benny smiled but she was obviously not amused.
"Something you twits want to tell me?" She had the bottle in her hand and narrowed her eyes at us.
"First we make an antipotion to get rid of all those critters you created," She was brewing a potion while Benny had his cheek cupped in his hand.
"All I did was put a few drops onto where the dog was buried," He protested but she just sighed.
"A few drops is far too much," With that statement he resumed his pouting and wallowing. I rolled my eyes and focused on his grandmother.
"But why are they evil?" I asked and she stopped her stirring.
"You reanimated the bodies but the souls had moved on, and empty body with no soul is an evil spirit's paradise," She answered and I punched Benny on the shoulder.
"Ow, Ella!" He whined, rubbing his shoulder.
"I told you not to do it," I snapped and he just continued to mope.
"Even if the brew works, how are we gonna track down all the undead critters?" I questioned and she snapped her fingers. She took something off her shelf and unwrapped it. A flute lay there and she presented it to us.
"Play a tune on this and it will lead all the creatures back here," She told us. Benny seized it and stood with a smile.
"Don't worry grandma, I won't let you down," She plucked it from his grasp.
"Not you Einstein, I need you here to help me with this brew, Ella can do it," She handed it to me and I took it.
"I can't, my dad's big client coming for dinner, mom'll kill me if I miss it," I apologized and Benny looked at her.
"Well if Ella can't do it and I can't do it, who's gonna play the stupid magic flute?" He asked and she looked at the both of us.
"What's your little blonde friend up to?" She asked and we exchanged looks.
"Right this looks like a job for," I glanced at Benny and he nodded.
"Vampire ninja!"
"Sarah, what are you doing here?" I asked when I noticed the vampire in my house. She was dressed in a white shirt tucked in a black pencil skirt. She was helping with all the food I guess. She turned to answer and paused.
"Wow, Ella you look really pretty," I blushed and looked away.
"Not really, my mom dressed me up anyway, I have to wear it," I picked at the hem uncomfortably. I was wearing a strapless blue dress that stopped at my knees and flowed at the hip. Benny came running in with dozens of capsules filled with the antipotion along with small water guns and some larger ones.
"Okay, we are loaded with the antipotion and what the heck are you wearing?" He asked when he caught sight of me.
"A dress, stupid," I rolled my eyes but my face turned darker.
"Anyway Rory's on the way," He handed me one of the guns and I had to fight not to spray him with it.
"Ok, so when he goes to your backyard, we'll be all ready to go," I smirked, seeing Benny obviously got the biggest gun.
"Oh and blue dress will you tell the waitress I want a decaf triple mocha latte, no foam," He chuckled and Sarah lifted a pan at him. My mom came in and caught sight of Benny with a frown.
"Ella, I need you to come out and meet our guests," She steered me away from the boy. He remembered what I told him yesterday and frowned deeply.
"Sarah, bring the food," The vampire nodded and grabbed some of the plates.
"Everybody, this is our daughter Ella," She introduced me and I noticed it was Della's family.
"Della and I actually met already," Della smiled politely, although I noticed she was relatively quiet after Puffles.
"Hey Della, did the dog come back?" Benny just had to ruin everything. I laid my forehead in my hand and shook my head. She immediately started crying and I elbowed him in the ribs.
"She's been like this all day, every dog she hears is Puffles," Della's father rolled his eyes and I sat down. A low musical noise filled the air and I looked at Benny, eyes wide.
"What is that?" My father asked and my mother just shrugged.
"Oh, just a little dinner music, let's go check on that, Benny," I looked at the tall boy and he quickly followed me. Rory was in the kitchen, looking around as if he'd never been here before.
"I was halfway through when I was hit with inspiration, why play the whole time when I can record it and put it on loop," Rory explained and it made sense.
"But where's the player?" Benny asked, making me nod in agreement.
"Well, when I was coming here, I crashed on your roof and it fell down your chimney," He winced as he spoke as he realized the degree of what he'd just done.
"The chimney!" I yelled, my eyes widening even further.
"But don't worry, I know a way to get it back, when Santa comes—" I cut him off with a glare.
"You know the rules about plans involving Santa," I told him and Benny nodded in agreement.
"So if the player's in the house—" A familiar scream rang through the house. I took a water gun before running off. I saw Benny grab his and give Rory the universal 'I'm watching you' hand motion. I went to the chimney and looked for the player.
"Ok we have to keep it down…" I trailed off as I ran into the kitchen. Animals were everywhere, all sorts of animals too.
"It's like Snow White and her little forest friends, the evil undead," Benny laughed triumphantly when one of them disintegrated. We were destroying them left and right.
"This is awesome, try them with the clam sauce," I nearly gagged as Rory devoured a rat. I heard a familiar fake chuckle and my father was entering the kitchen. I gasped and grabbed his shoulders to prevent him from turning around.
"I thought I heard a loud bang," He tried to turn but I stopped him.
"Now that our guests are settled in, time to wow them with your sales pitch," I smiled and he nodded.
"Sure, maybe that would be a good idea," He left to go back in the dining room. I looked back at the others and it seemed they were all gone. Benny turned around and saw a rabbit clinging to his back. I grabbed a frying pan and swung the metal into the evil spirit. It fell off and he looked at me in confusion mixed with surprise.
"What was that for?" He asked, turning completely around to face me as I sprayed the rabbit.
"Just a little hair on your back," I placed the pan down onto the counter.
"I told my mom I'd get the parmesan," I walked over to the pantry and opened it. I gasped when I saw the animal on the other side.
"Puffles!" I yelled as it latched onto my arm.
"Ella!" Benny yelled, rushing over to me. I slammed the dog against the counter in hopes of getting it off. It started to whimper and whine as I did this.
"Puffles?" I heard Della ask hopefully from the dining room. Sarah grabbed the dog and tried to pry it off. Benny encircled his arms around my waist and pulled as Sarah did. Even in this dire situation I found enough time to blush as he did this. The brunette finally got the dog off my arm and quickly sprayed it. Unfortunately, the remains landed right in my mother's sauce.
"Ew, his collar's in the sauce," Sarah crinkled her nose in disgust.
"Mom, I got it!"
"That's alright Ella, let go!"
"No mom, I got it!" We kept up this game of tug-of-war until Della came in.
"Puffles?" She asked, before the bowl slipped out of our hands and onto her dress. She gaped at us in shock when she saw the contents of the bowl.
"Puffles!" She cried, her hand going over mouth in shock.
"Yeah, uh that's him sorta," She ran away crying.
"Wait, Della I can explain, not right now but I'll think of something," Benny started to run after her but he stopped when he got to me and my mother. He continued after awhile and I smiled after him.
"Ella, you better have a good explanation for this!" My mother glared and I smiled sheepishly.
Sarah stayed over to help with the cleaning.
"Dealing with critters done, dress gone," I was dressed in a tank top and cotton shorts. I helped her start to clean around the kitchen. I walked to the back door as a knock resonated from it.
"Come on in Rory," I sighed, really just wanting to get to bed. I jumped in surprise when I saw the Tiberius waiting on the other side.
"Tiberius, I should've known you'd show up last," I grabbed a water gun and pointed it at him.
"Take the shot, he's evil, get him," I heard Sarah yell from behind me but I just couldn't. Looking at him, I remembered the time I had him. I lowered the gun but it was a big mistake. He flew at me but Sarah shot him down.
"Thanks," I smiled at her and she nodded.
"So my parents buried Tiberius when I thought he ran away," I told Benny the next day.
"That makes sense," He replied with a shrug. I saw Della walking our way before turning around.
"So is Della still ignoring you?" I smirked and he glared at me. A car horn made us both jump. Sarah pulled up in a station wagon.
"Look what I bought, this is why I've been asking for money," She explained to us.
"Boo!" A voice in the backseat startled us all. Rory was in the backseat.
"Vampire ninja scores again!" He laughed. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. I looked back and he was gone.
"Ok, that's just getting creepy," Sarah shuddered.
"Get in before he comes back," Benny and I scrambled to get in the car.
And done! I'm going to have two chapters for each episode, so about twenty something chapters. I hope you give this chance and don't dismiss just because. Review please, even if it's a suggestion on how to improve something or if you want me to do things outside of this. Thanks! Adios, mi amigos!
