"Okay. First things first, we need to find Talia." Sarah commanded. "Benny, you might wanna be extra careful."

"Why? I wanna fight!" Benny said, trying to do a karate move, but instead falling on his butt.

"I only brought you out of the trance temporarily." Sarah responded, pulling him to his feet. "Only Talia can bring you out completely."

"And we all know she wouldn't do that." Ethan agreed.

"Okay Mom." Benny joked. "I won't get too close. All I can say is, that crazy Vampire is not my sister. At least, the one I grew up with. The old Talia used to be caring and made sure nothing bad happened to her little brother."

"Little brother?" Sarah said.

"Okay. Yeah. Talia's the older twin. So what." Benny defended.

"Nothing." Ethan laughed.

"Hey, maybe Jesse put Talia under a spell." Sarah interrupted.

"That would explain why she's not acting like herself." Benny agreed.

Their conversation was soon interrupted by an all too familiar voice. "I knew you'd come." The group turned to see Talia standing behind them, with an evil smirk on her face.

"Talia, why are you doing this?" Benny asked

"Power." She responded. "Can you even imagine what it would be like to have the world at your fingertips? You could control whether population would thrive, or crumble into dust. Join me, Benny. It just takes one little prick, and you can be one of the most powerful beings in the world."

"Look, you might be my sister, but I would never help Jesse."

"Talia. Listen to me. Jesse's just using you. Once he takes over, he'll get rid of you." Ethan said.

"You don't know anything about him! I do! He made a promise. You just can't accept that you weren't offered this opportunity." Talia screamed. "Come with me, Benny. Help us, and you will never be opposed. You'll have beautiful girls at your feet. Join me."

"Not in this life, Sis." Benny replied.

"Oh. I think you will." Talia's eyes glowed yellow and she bared her fangs. Benny's eyes glazed over. "Will you come with me, Benny?"

"Yes. I'll come with you." Benny responded, his voice as robotic as before.

"Benny! No!" Sarah yelled.

Talia grinned. "Benny, before you come with me, take care of your friends." She cackled and sped away.

Benny turned to his friends. He grinned, muttered a spell, and a ball of energy shot out of his hand toward Sarah. She dodged out of the way.

"Don't you still have that 'Use in case of Evil Benny' email on your phone?" Sarah panicked.

"Jane deleted it to make room for her Happy Girl newsletters." Ethan responded.

"Great! Now what are we gonna do?" Sarah asked.

"Can't you snap him out of it?"

"I can't get close enough to him. Plus, it might not work a second time."

"Maybe if I can get close to him I can get a vision from him." Ethan thought out loud.

"It's too risky. I'll go out there. I'm stronger and faster." Sarah said.

Ethan sighed. "Good luck."

Sarah took a deep breath and ran toward Benny. She didn't have any kind of plan, so she just ran toward him and tried to get close enough to snap him out of the trance. Just as she thought she was close enough, a ball of energy shot out of Benny's hand, headed straight for Sarah, who was looking the other direction.

"No!" Ethan yelled, running toward Sarah. He jumped in front of her, taking Benny's blow. He collapsed to the floor.

"Ethan!" Sarah bent down next to the weak Ethan. She heard a grunt, and she looked up, to see Benny, back to normal. He gasped and he ran to his best friend.

"Ethan! What happened?" Benny panicked.

"Talia put you in another Trance. You were aiming for me. He jumped in front of me." Sarah cried.

"Oh man! This is all my fault!" Tears ran down Benny's cheeks.

Sarah stroked Ethan's cheek. "You're so cold. Ethan, what were you thinking?"

"I wasn't." Ethan replied, but his voice was so weak it as almost a whisper. "I just couldn't let anything happen to you."

"Benny, do you remember what spell you used?"

"No. I completely blacked out." Benny frowned.

"Sarah, I have to tell you something." Ethan started, but before he could finish, he felt Sarah's warm lips press against his. She pulled away and turned to Benny.

"Do you know any healing spells?"

"Uh, I think so."

"Give it a shot. I don't wanna risk losing Ethan." Sarah looked down at Ethan's pale face, which was now breaking into a cold sweat.

"Uh, Domlaff Lupus Garganoth."

A ball of blue light came from Benny's fingertips and entered Ethan's body. He cringed, and some of the color returned to his face. He sat up, panting.

"You okay, dude?" Benny grabbed Ethan by the shoulders.

"Yeah, I think so." Ethan said.

"Okay. We need a plan." Sarah assessed.

"Well, seeing me get hurt brought Benny out of the trance." Ethan said.

"So, if Benny gets hurt, that might snap her out of it!" Sarah grinned.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Benny interrupted. "What's this about Benny getting hurt?"

"Benny, it's either you get a little boo-boo, or your sister takes over the world." Ethan said.

"Okay. Fine." Benny sighed.

"Good." Sarah nodded. "Here's the plan."
