So this is my second chapter. I want to thank Bethan forever for sharing my story on the bethan community fan page. I also want to thank people who gave me reviews. The first chapter wasn't very good but I hope this is better. There isn't much Bethan in this chapter but I promise in the next few chapters there will be much more romance. Please review and tell me your opinions. Thank you and hope you enjoy.

Ethan you're a fledgling. "What" Ethan nearly shrieked jumping up, immediately feeling dizzy. "I believe something happened to block your memory. Would you like me to try and retrieve them" the earth priestess asked. "Umm uhh yea but oh my god" Ethan mumbled out, his voice going from a high squeak to a low moan. Placing her old hand on the teen's forehead she chanted "Tolle illum, et adducite praeterita" three times. Ethen's eyes glow like when he has his visions panic coursing through him. Everything was fuzzy from the loss of blood. Unfortunately he couldn't make out their face. Gasping for breath the young teen was ripped out of his trance. Benny ran down stairs jumping two at a time. "Are you ok" he shouted frightened by the sounds he had heard from above. "You screamed" He gasped. "Everything's ok" Grandmother stated. "Please go upstairs so the two of us can talk." Reluctantly her grandson sulked up the stairs only to grab his spell book and mutter some words. The tall boy's ears rang and he could hear everything going on downstairs. "I don't want to tell him" said Ethan almost sobbing. "Not yet, just not yet". "Everything's going to be fine" Evelyn comforted him. "You'll get through this I promise." "Now go home and rest I will talk to you tomorrow morning. I worry that my mischievous grandson might be eavesdropping. Out of all the spells he could succeed at why did he have to master that one." Ethan gave a little chuckle and everything was quiet. Then the door slammed shut and footsteps came up the stairs

"Hi grandma" Benny said with a fake smile. "Benny I know you were listening. What did you hear" asked the woman. "Only that Ethan wants to keep something a secret from me" He whispered, tears welling up behind his eyelids. "What is it" he asked with so much pleading in his voice. Evelyn felt terrible. She could tell how distressing this was for him but had to follow Ethan's Wishes. "Ethan is going through something, something he wants to do alone." "Why would he keep something from me" benny whimpered curling into a ball. A horrible feeling arose in him, as if his entire heart was gone leaving just an empty hole. "Give him time sweetie"

…the next day…

Ethan walked towards his friend's house lost in thought. Benny was out at Rory's house surly complaining about Ethan and asking for help. He was sure that he would have a certain blond vampire watching him from the shadows. Sitting at the table in the Weir household Ethan watched as Grandma scurried around the kitchen looking for something. "Here it is" she said sitting down across from the frightened boy handing him a mug filled with red liquid. "This will help". He took a sip expecting it to taste as horrible as it had smelled when he was still human. The seer's eyes lit up when the warm blood substitute hit his taste buds. It was like a warm glow flooded through his body. He felt strength return to his limbs, his mind clear, and became wide awake. "That was amazing" he said. "That is good because you will need to be drinking this every day from now on" Grandma spoke. "How am I going to hide this from benny?" Ethan thought aloud. "Why don't you want him to know about this" she asked moving to sit in the chair next to his. "Well…" Ethan stared down at the table trying to block the thoughts going on in his head. "I don't want things to change" Ethan confessed. "All I want is for life to be the way it was. I want to eat ice cream and pizza with my best friend, stay up late and talk about super heroes. I don't want to watch him get old as I stay young. I can't lose him. Maybe if I pretend it's not happening I can enjoy my time with him like I have been and block out all those things. Once I tell Benny it's really true and there's no going back." Tears rolled down his face making him look much younger. Evelyn listened as the young seer released his feelings, waiting for the right time to speak. "Ethan look at me" she said in a calming tone. "Not telling Benny will not make this go away. It is just as real now as it will be when you tell him." Glancing back to the table Ethan thought about everything knowing what she said was true. "I will tell him, just give me time."

…At Rory's house…

"Ethan's hiding something from me" Benny said to a hovering blond haired vampire. "Maybe he turned into a zombie" Rory said excitedly. "No wait he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Wait no he was..." Rory was unable to finish his sentence. Looking at Benny's stern face was scary enough to shut him up. "I'm worried about him." Benny shook his head, a permanent frown on his face since Ethan had left his house. "Do you want me to go all vampire ninja!" Rory shouted, jumping off a wall and kicking the air. "Yea" Benny said bluntly. "And I'd like you to start as soon as you can." Rory bounced up and down exited. In a flash he traveled to his room and back wearing a tight black top and black jeans. "I'll be stealthy like the night, a silent shadow, like batman!" Rory maneuvered around the room like a secret agent holding his fingers out like a gun. "Ok well I'm going to go home to read some spells. You continue with your ninja-vampire-batman thing." Rory smiled and jumped out of the window gliding into the darkness. Grabbing his things Benny headed home. His shoulders slumped. He felt guilty that he was spying on his best friend.

After getting home Benny lay on his bead with his spell book in front of him as he tried to decipher some Latin words. He turned to the page that he had gotten the transport spell from. "Oh well that can't be good" Benny muttered to himself. The page was crinkled from when benny dropped it while trying to skateboard (that was a terrible mistake. He still had the bruises). He had thought that it was one spell but hadn't seen the break in the lines, the text was way too tiny. The first spell had been peregrinamur in terra creata sunt "well that's the transport spell" and ne animi hominum, "a feelings spell" The not so great spellmaster continued to read. "Reveal the true feelings." What does that meen Benny grumbled "well nothing happened so that's ok." The tired boy lay his head on his spell book and passed out.

…Benny's Dream…

Benny was standing outside Ethan's house, everything was silent. Benny felt his legs moving toward his best friend's house, up the stairs and into Ethan's room. Sitting on the bed the sound of singing echoed out of the bathroom, it was beautiful. Benny felt himself drifting off, everything around him dimmed as he listened to the voice. He knew who it was, it was Ethan. The love song filled Benny's ears. When it stopped he frowned not wanting it to end. "Benny?" Ethan questioned leaving the bathroom in just a towel. "Ethan" benny said with a huge grin on his face. Walking up to his best friend emotions filling his body. He leaned down slowly as if unsure of what he would do next. Ethen just stood there with a confused look until their lips touched. Sparks flew through both bodies, electrifying them.

Ethen and Benny awoke with a start in their beds. Ethan curled into a ball under his covers. "I don't want anything to change" he whimpered as he felt all his worries closing in on him. Benny sat at the end of his bed staring at the wall. "I think the feelings spell kicked in" he said to himself, just a hint of panic in his voice.
