"So I'll be home by 11 have fun with your friends. And don't forget to take Jane trick or treating" Aunt Sam said as she grabbed her witch hat, I nodded and placed the candle inside the pumpkin "I can't forget what I can't remember" Ethan said dramatically staring off into the distance, I chuckled and shook my head
"Wow. Do all those Dusk characters really talk like that?" Sam asked "Yeah especiall Jakeward. He's thoughtfull" Ethan said "And very handsome. But I thought you hated that stuff why are you dressed like him?" she asked confused, Sarah walked in though her clothes looked fairly normal
"Hey Sarah, what are you dressed up as?" Sam asked "I'm Rochelle from Dusk" she explained, I nodded in realisation "Okay I see well have a good time guys" Sam said before leaving "Jakeward huh? You should really pop the collar" Sarah said lifting up the collar of Ethan's shirt, I smiled a little and carried the pumpkin outside to the porch, I set it down and walked back into the house
"What are you supposed to be Bail's?" Sarah asked, I shook my head "I'm not dressing up this year. Ever halloween I used to dress up as some ancient vampire. So this year I'm human, for the rest of the night I'm not using any of my vampire powers. I'm just normal" I explained shrugging, she nodded "Sounds like a plan. Nice dress by the way" she said, I smiled "Thanks" I said hopping up onto the counter.
The house was filled with nerds and Benny wasn't even here yet, me going to the vampire party was off since Aunt Sam wanted me to take Jane trick or treating with Ethan, so here I was sat on the stairs bored as hell "Ariba" a familiar voice exclaimed, I walked into the living room and found Ethan an' Sarah taking to some guy in a wrestler/wizard costume
"I couldn't decide between Merlin and a Mexican wrestler so I picked both. Say hola to el Merlo Loco" he said, I recognzied the voice and inwardly groaned "And this is the guy I'm going out with" I muttered as I stood next to Sarah "Well compared to this Erica's traditional vampire party is starting to sound like a blast" Sarah said boredly, I hmm'd in agreement and the doorbell rang
"I'll get it" I sighed opening the door, Erica walked in wearing some old fashioned dress and a long red cloak "Erica? What are you doing here?" I asked confused "Rory got us booted out he wouldn't take off that stupid mask" she exclaimed "So where is he?" I asked looking for my other blonde friend "He was following me so I threw him, I'm not quite sure where he landed" she replied shrugging,
I nodded "Sarah, Erica's here" I called, she sped next to me and sighed in relief "Thank god this party is way under control. At least now Bailey and I can have fun with you" she said "Yeah sure, d'you know where I can set up my meditation blanket?" she asked, I tilted my head in confusion "Your what?" Sarah asked "That's how we celebrate the true vampire Halloween. Have any candles?" she asked, I shook my head
"No? Alright" she said before going upstairs, I sighed and turned to Sarah "Great, even Erica's boring tonight" I said annoyed, she nodded "Bailey we'll be back in a bit!" Ethan shouted, I walked into the kitchen where he was stood with Benny and Jane "Where you goin'?" I asked boredly "Taking Jane trick or Treating. You wanna come?" he asked, I shook my head
"Sarah needs someone normal to talk to. Or as normal as I can get, just don't be back too late" I said feeling a lot older than' I was "Don't worry, and good luck keeping an eye on the party" Benny said chuckling, I rolled my eyes "Yeah yeah very funny. Just get out of here Merlin" I said annoyed "It's Merlo Loco Bailey" he exclaimed "Call it what you want Sweetheart" I shrugged, he pouted and left the house with Ethan and Jane.
It had been about half an' hour since the guys left and for some reason things were seriously getting wild in here, there was a psycho ninja with a shark find on his back doing dangerous tricks with a sharp sword, some girl dressed as a gorilla was diving on everyone and I had spotted Rory running around like a maniac with the weird mask on, I knew I was probably going to have to use my vampire powers tonight and I sighed,
I just wanted one night to feel at least a little normal but not even that was going to happen apparently, Sarah had just gone upstairs to get Erica's help leaving me downstairs to take care of the wild nerd party "Hey asshole touch that again and I'll kill you!" I shouted to some guy dressed as cupid, he aimed an' arrow my way and I easily dodged it "Sarah" I called standing at the bottom of the stairs, I walked up and paused in the hallway
"Rory?" I asked confused, he was stood in the doorway to my bedroom with the mask on and was motioning me to him, I looked around cautiously but approached him "What's going on Rorster? It's not my night" I sighed crossing my arms, he played with a strand of my hair and I gave him a skeptic look "You okay?" I asked, he said something but it was more like a groaning noise muffled by the mask
"Rory can you please hurry up I have a bunch of wild nerds to control and I'm gonna have to use my vampire powers even though I wanted a normal night" I exclaimed, he perked up as though just realising something and he gently put his hands on either side of my head "Rory" I said nervously, he said something and his eyes flashed bright red, I felt a strange tingling sensation run through my body and I gasped when he pulled his hands away, he skipped off laughing and I panted
"That was weird" I muttered rubbing my temples, I put a hand to my chest and leaned against the wall, my heart was pounding from Rory's little action...wait. My heart was beating! "Benny!" I shouted, I ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, my reflection was there and I literally had to double check, I walked away and came back in but it was still there "Oh my god" I squeaked, I took a deep breath and though this through "I have a hearbeat. I have a reflection. I'm human" I said in realisation,
once it kicked in I went from nervous to happy and excited "Yes!" I screamed jumping up and down excitedly, it must've had something to do with Rory's mask, I ran downstairs and through the nutty teenagers until I found the boys in the kitchen "Guys you are going to love this" I exclaimed, they both gave me confused and slightly worried looks "Bailey what's going on?" Benny asked motioning to the gorilla girl fighting the ninja
"What? I don't know and I really don't care right now. Feel" I said grabbing Benny's hand, I opened it up and put it on my chest "Bailey we usually do that when making out" he said nervously, I rolled my eyes "No Benny. Feel, can't you feel it?" I asked holding his hand there with both of mine, he pressed it harder agains't my chest and his eyes widene "Bailey why do you have heartbeat?" he squeaked, I shrugged "I don't know, but I have a reflection too. I'm human Benny" I exclaimed hugging him,
he hugged back and I saw Ethan give him a nervous glance "How?" Benny asked with wide eyes "Well Rory did it, I don't know how but he did" I said shaking my head, the guy himself appeared behind Jane and the boys turned around "Hey Rory, neat mask" Jane said "Rory what's going on here?" Ethan asked leaning agains't the counter, Rory put his hands on either side of Jane's head and his eyes flashed bright red again,
he skipped away like before and Jane turned around, her face had morphed into a cat like face and she kept meowing, Benny reached for some candy and she swiped his hand while hissing "Hey, we took you trick or treating yah rugrat" he said annoyed "There you are" Sarah exclaimed angrily, she pointed towards the dining room and we followed her in
"Did Rory just turn Jane into a cat?" Ethan asked in thought "I don't know what's happening but he really got this party started" Sarah said, I nodded eagerly "You're not wrong, the guy turned me into a human. I'm not a vampire anymore" I said still excited about the whole thing, Sarah's eyes widened and she smiled a little "Your human?" she asked, I nodded biting my bottom lip
"Okay yes Bailey's human and it's good but Rory's wearing that Native Mask from Mr G's class, what did Mr G say it did?" Ethan asked "Your asking me to remember something from class?" Benny asked "Figure it out later and stop it now. We can't let a gorilla out onto the streets" Sarah exclaimed, I sighed knowing if they stopped Rory I would most likely turn into a vampire again
"Guys I'm gonna go" I said running my fingers through my hair "Why? Where you going Bailey?" Benny asked worriedly, I shrugged "I'm human Benny, so I'm doing everything I can while I can do it" I said opening the door "Bail's" Ethan said, I turned around "Be carefull, you're not as strong as you were" he pointed out, I nodded and left the room.
In Bailey's Room...
I had locked my bedroom door and I tapped the computer desk in thought, it was either now or never "Here goes nothing" I sighed clicking my mom's name, I waited for the video chat to start and when it did I smiled "Hey momma" I greeted "Hey sweetie, I haven't talked to you in a while" she said, I nodded and held back tears "Yeah I've been busy with school and boyfriends" I admitted, her eyes widened
"Boyfriends? Bailey is he good?" she asked warningly, I nodded again "Yeah he's awesome, a bit of a nerd but he's good to me" I reasured "The girls are in bed Bail's, it quite late you know" she pointed out, I chuckled "I know mom, look I can't talk long but I just wanted to see you" I said sadly "That's okay Bailey, you can call me whenever you want" she said smiling, I nodded
"Thanks mom, look I have to go back to my party but I'll see you" I said glancing at my bedroom door "I love you Bailey" she said "Love you too momma" I replied before closing down the chat, I turned off the computer and walked back into the bathroom,
I had to admit I did look pretty good for someone that couldn't see themselves in a mirror and I was trying not to get used to it, the weird tingling came back to my body and I placed one hand agains't the mirror, my reflection faded until it dissapeared all together "Well that really sucks" I sighed pulling my hand back.
The Next Day...
I was sat down on a park bench wearing a pair of sunglasses, the weather was quite sunny today and very irritating "Hey Bailey" I smiled and looked to my left where Rory was sat "Hi, how d'you feel?" I asked turning a little bit, he shrugged "The same, still can't remember what I did with that mask on though" he said in deep though, I giggled "It was pretty awesome, at least for me it was" I said sighing
"Yeah the guys told me about that last night. How d'you feel bout it?" he asked worriedly, I shrugged "I don't know a little weird, it seemed like everyone else was so used to me being a vampire that when I did turn human they didn't seem to care so much. They were only worried about the problem at hand which I can't blame them for but they could've shown a little excitement yah know? I mean they complain about my drinking people all the time so you'd think they'd be happier than' me" I exclaimed going on a little rant
"Calm down Bail's" Rory said putting an' arm around my shoulder, I took a deep breath and rested my head on his shoulder "Rory what are your parents like?" I asked randomly "My parents? Their energetic and really paranoid when it comes to me, their also really strict but other than' that their great. Dad's usually out most of the time with his job but mom's always around. Why?" he asked confused
"I can't see my mom anymore and my dad left when I was 3. What I'm trying to say is I wanna meet your mom, not as a vampire or anything. Just as me" I admitted lifting my head from his shoulder to look at him "You sure?" he asked double checking, I nodded "Yeah, I mean if they already think I'm your girlfriend it wouldn't matter if I spent one night letting them get to know me would it?" I asked shrugging,
I didn't know why I was doing this but I guessed it was because I wanted to meet two nice people who didn't think I was some hot, undead blood sucker "Now? You could meet mom now but Dad's not home. It's up to you Bail's" he said, I thought for a moment "Yeah I'd like that, now's good" I replied standing from the bench, he nodded and also stood "Follow me" he shrugged flying up, I shot up into the air and followed him to the house.
We soon reached Rory's house and I landed gracefully on two feet "Rory one more thing" I said glancing at the house "Yeah?" he asked "Don't let Benny know, it's not like I'm cheating on him or anything but he would go nuts" I said worriedly, Rory shook his head "Benny won't know, c'mon Bail's" he said holding out his hand,
I gently laced my fingers through his and we entered the house "Mom there's someone I want you to meet!" Rory shouted, I closed the door and sighed "You sure?" he asked looking down at me, I nodded "Positive" I reasured smiling a little, he nodded and led me into the living room.
