So, I know it's been a while (like two weeks right?), but hey, classes do that to you. I'll try to be better about it, but no promises! At least I'm still updating :D

Zombieworshipper inspired this one, so this one is for you, and I hope you like it!

No, I still don't own them. Sad face!

…

Three cloaked people sat in a darkened room, the only source of light a flickering candle in the center of the table at which they sat.

"Hmm, so where shall we travel this time, my friends?" a quiet voice asked from one of the hoods, waiting for a response.

"We are looking for the powerful one that will join our forces, and become like us," replied another, a bored tone underlining its voice.

"Yes, but where could this powerful being be?" a third voice asked the other two, who seemed to sigh in sync.

"We will find them. Join hands," the second voice said; the rustling of sleeves falling back could be heard as they joined hands. "Now, we chant."

"Show us who will complete our circle," they said, their voices mingling into one loud, booming voice. The candle flickered before an image showed in its flame.

"Where are we going?"

"What's it showing?"

"… A small town called… Whitechapel."

"Whitechapel," the other two breathed, joy in their voices.

"We leave tomorrow."

…

Benny and Ethan were at the park again, Ethan uneasy about this.

"Remember the last time we were here? A giant freakin' spider attacked us. How are we to know if it would happen again?!"

"It won't," Benny murmured, closing his eyes as the wind ruffled his hair. "I can feel it."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know exactly. Ever since the run-in with the Siren I've been feeling… different." He was silent as he looked at Ethan, who looked confused. "I feel more… in tune with the Earth."

"Well…" Ethan started slowly, making Benny sigh. "You're grandma is an Earth Priestess after all, so maybe it's not that unusual for you to feel this way."

"Maybe," he said, pulling Ethan to him. "How do you always have all the answers?"

"Because I can think rationally?"

"Pssh, when has 'rationality' ever saved us from blood-thirsty monsters?" Ethan stared at Benny until he stared laughing. "I love you."

"You too," Ethan grumbled as he snuggled against his boyfriend. They sat like that for a while, never knowing they were being watched.

…

"Which on is it?" one of the three cloaked figures asked, standing on the farthest edge of the park, watching the two boys cuddle on a park bench.

"The taller one… I think. They are always together so it is hard to tell exactly which one will complete our group."

"Well, then how do we find out for sure which is which?"

"We wait until they are separated, and then we strike. Whoever is to join us will not be harmed."

"Then why don't we strike now? If he will not be hurt, then why should we wait?"

"Look at them you fools! It is clear they care for each other. I am not so heartless as to cause one pain while we take the other."

"Do you think he will come willingly?"

"…No. But that will not stop us."

"Of course not."

"He belongs with our group."

"And we will not leave Whitechapel without him."

…

Benny was walking home after giving Ethan a goodnight kiss, when he felt power in the air. Turning, he didn't see anyone around him.

But he could feel them.

"Who's there?" he called out, sounding braver than he felt. He heard quick steps and a body appeared before him, covered in a dark cloak; he couldn't see a face. They didn't say anything as they raised an arm and a ball of light hit him in the chest. He stumbled back and looked up at the person; only now, instead of one, there were three of them.

"It is him!" a voice cried happily from one of the three people. The one in the middle, clearly the leader, held up a hand to stop the voice.

"It is. We mean you no harm."

"Yeah right. Tell that to every other supernatural being I've dealt with," he said, sarcasm heavy in his voice as he poised to throw every defensive spell he knew at them.

They didn't move though.

"We mean you no harm Benjamin. You must come with us."

"No."

"You have to. We will take you by force if necessary." He narrowed his eyes as the one who was speaking stepped forward and pulled down the hood of the cloak that covered his face. His face was chiseled, that of an angel; his hair was a blonde-brown, the perfect messiness with bangs that brushed his forehead; his eyes were a light brown, and they held age that rivaled Benny's grandma's.

"Who are you?"

"Look deep inside Benjamin, and you will know the answer to that." Benny ignored that and raised his hands to him.

"I think I'd rather not know."

"You join us," another one of the people murmured, this voice softer, "Or we will take your friend and hold him until you do."

"You leave him alone!"

"The choice is yours. You have until morning. We will be back."

The three people turned, disappearing into the darkness. Benny stood there, waiting to make sure they were gone, before he finally relaxed.

But he didn't go home. Instead, he turned and fled back to the house he had just left, knocking harshly.

Luckily, it was Mr. Morgan who answered.

"Benny, is something wrong?" Benny frowned and quickly told the older gentleman what he had just experienced.

"Do you have any idea what they could have been?" He looked uncomfortable but shook his head no.

"No, I don't. But I will give Ethan my gun, that way if they do come for him he can defend himself."

"Thank you."

"You should go home and rest. Maybe talk to your grandma as well." Benny nodded and turned, shivering slightly.

But he wasn't cold.

He was worried.

Who were those people?

And what did they want with him?

…

Benny didn't sleep that night; every time his eyes closed, he saw the three people who were waiting for him.

How could he fight them off and keep them from hurting Ethan? He hadn't told his Grandma about them in hopes that he could figure this out himself.

But he wasn't sure anymore.

As dawn neared, he got dressed and headed out to his backyard.

He figured they would rather take him in private than out in public, so he headed to the woods that surrounded their homes. He was far enough in that the light morning light couldn't really penetrate the canopy of trees, but close enough that he could see the edge of his house still.

"Benjamin," he turned to see one of the cloaked figures in front of him. "Come with me." He nodded and followed the swift moving figure deeper into the woods. As they approached a clearing, he saw the other two, and in between them, bound and gagged, was Ethan, his eyes wide in fright as he saw Benny.

"I told you to leave him alone! I came willingly, so take him home."

"I'm afraid we can't do that," the one who revealed himself yesterday said. "We need you Benjamin. Your friend here is just a precaution to make sure that you listen to us." Benny felt anger course through him as one of them raised their hands at Ethan. "He shouldn't be made to see this though. He is innocent." With that, he slapped Ethan across the face, knocking him out.

"Ethan!" Benny started towards him, but was held up by a wall of ice appearing in front of him.

"Not so fast young one. We need you first. He will be fine," the soft voiced one said. They removed their hood to reveal a soft, round face and piercing blue eyes; it was a girl. Her hair fell in a tight braid down her back, and her eyes were hard as they stared at him. "Now Benjamin," she said, waving her hand and making the wall disappear. "It's time."

"Ice, calm down," the blonde-haired man said softly, making her frown and back towards Ethan. "Benjamin, let me explain."

"That'd be nice."

"We are the Elementals. I am Fire, that is Ice, and the silent one standing over there is Water. Water, introduce yourself please." The last cloaked figure came forward and removed their hood. It was another girl; her hair was short and spiky, jet black; her eyes were a light violet, and her face seemed slightly less hostile than the others.

"It is nice to make your acquaintance Benjamin," she said in a soft sweet voice. He nodded and turned back to Fire.

"What do you want with me?"

"You are to join us and complete our group. You are our Earth."

"What?" But even as he asked this, he knew they were telling the truth; he had felt the connection to the Earth before.

"You will join us. We will not leave without you."

"I can't. I have a life here," he said, his eyes falling to Ethan.

"Then why don't we end that life? You won't remember any of it anyway," Ice said, making a sharp icicle appear in her hand; she picked up the unconscious Ethan and put it against his throat, laughing as it pierced his skin lightly.

"Ice, stop it," Fire said; it was clear he was the leader. She frowned and dropped Ethan and the icicle both to the ground.

"Fine." She backed away and Benny frowned.

"Please Fire. Don't make me go."

"We've been searching for so long. We must have you! We are not complete without you!"

"I'm not complete without him," Benny said softly. "I can't leave." Water watched this, her eyes soft as she watched the exchange. Benny met her eyes and she looked away, almost looking sad it seemed. Fire raised his hand and sighed.

"I was hoping it didn't have to be this way. But I will use force." With that said, a blazing ball of light appeared in his hand. "Your old life will be gone. You are Earth. You belong to our family now." As he reared back, a ball of water hit him in the face. He sputtered and looked at Water, who had tears running down her face. "What are you doing Water!"

"My name is Lisa!" she cried out, pushing making a wave appear behind her. "I won't let you ruin this poor boy's life like you did mine!" she sobbed, pushing the wave towards him and Ice, who tried to stop it; the wave was too strong. They both collided to the ground, soaking wet and glaring at her. They stood up and fled, leaving Water and Benny alone with the unconscious Ethan.

"Why are you helping me?"

"I was in love," she said to him quietly as she kneeled next to Ethan and picked him up. "They took me, and erased my memory. Only seeing you two reminded me of it. Please go, and protect your homes. Until they find another Earth, you will be their target." She handed him Ethan and smiled softly. "Go."

"Thank you." She nodded and watched him go before sighing and hurrying after the other two. She hoped she had made the right decision in helping them.

…

Ethan woke up with a blinding headache and to Benny lying next to him.

"What happened?"

"It's a long story, and I think it should be saved for another day," he said, kissing Ethan's forehead. "Please?" Ethan nodded and snuggled into Benny, falling asleep quickly. Benny didn't sleep again as he thought about what he had learned today.

He was an Elemental.

And they would be back for him.

Next time, he vowed to be ready.

…

So, would ya'll like to see the Elementals come back? If so, let me know!

And remember, anything you'd like to see come after Benny and Ethan, just let me know!

Hope ya'll liked this chapter.
