Chapter 5: Missing
"This sucks! How does running help us in school?" Benny asked Justin who was panting for air. Justin tried to reply back but it was hopeless. They stopped running to walk the last lap on the track. "This…is…why…geeks…don't do…sports!" Benny huffed out. Justin rolled his eyes as they continued to walk. "It's like telling Superman to fly around the world for a grade! We may not be scrawny like other geeks, but I still don't see why it's required."
Justin looked over to the stadium bleachers and saw the drama club sitting down. There was the same guy that took the flyers from Principal Medina; he was definitely a rule breaker. He gave Justin and Benny a smile and a salute. Benny and Justin just nodded back with fake grins.
"What was that all about?" Justin whispered to Benny, who looked just as confused as his friend. Usually those types of guys were the ones to pick on them.
"It's Mr.-Too-Cool-For-School." Benny sarcastically spoke, "Maybe we've been given the seal of approval?" Benny joked as they headed back to the gym lockers to change.
Jason has been keeping a close eye on those two and their blonde friend ever since he came back from his so-called trip. His suspicions are not fully confirmed but he has a feeling that he knows them. He is going to have to test them since he has seen them talking with Alison lately.
As they exited the locker rooms into the main halls of the school Benny and Justin both sighed, the school day was over and it was finally Friday. "I'm sleeping over tonight right?" Benny asked Justin as they got their things from their school lockers.
"Do you have to ask? You always sleep over Fridays!" Justin exclaimed.
"Want me to bring some video games, snacks, anything?" The taller friend asked as they walked home. Justin nodded in disagreement since Benny already had most of his things in Justin's room, including a bed his parents put in when they were little. Benny practically lived at Justin's house ever since they met.
Justin and Benny were in the middle of a game battle when Aaron bursts through the door looking very worried. The boys turned around to see who it was and asked if he wanted to join the game. Benny tossed him a controller, while Justin asked why he looked so flushed.
"Boys, Ozzie's mother just called," Aaron began, and both the boys shot up at the sound of Ozzie's mother being mentioned, "He didn't show up at home after school. Do you two know where he might be?" Aaron asked because Ozzie's mother can be scary, especially since she is the sheriff of Knightwood Bay.
They shook their head because in fact they didn't see Ozzie all day at all. Which is very strange even for him. Benny took out his phone and tried calling him but was sent to voicemail straight away. This worried Aaron even more and it clearly showed on his face.
"Call me if you hear anything." He exclaimed as calmly as possible as to not worry the boys even more. With those last few words he left the room and shut the door.
"He's probably at the arcade again." Justin told Benny who simply nodded. "We should go see if he's there." They both got their jackets and headed for the stairs, only to be stopped by his parents.
"And where do you think you two are going?" Miranda asked while crossing her arms.
"To the arcade, we'll be back before six mom, we promise." Justin answered his mom.
Justin's dad gave both boys a glare but decided to let them go anyways. They quickly headed out the door not looking back at the stares they knew they were getting.
Miranda gave her husband a death glare for letting them go alone, knowing the circumstances they were currently in. Jake had to reassure his wife of his decision; he called Aaron into the room and told both of them they were going to the cemetery. Both of them understood but wanted to know why he didn't include the boys, to which he laughed and walked outside to the car. Miranda and Aaron shrugged it off since Jake always has reasons for his decisions.
Justin and Benny arrived at the GamerTown Arcade near the shopping mall, luckily for them was not far from Justin's house. They stepped into the arcade and headed for the section where they knew Ozzie would be at. The arcade was empty making it easier to find Ozzie without much effort.
They searched the section but found nothing, Justin started to get pulses in his head again and Benny noticed.
"You okay Justin?" He put a hand on his shoulder and Justin nodded.
"He's not here let's just go." Justin quickly stated and they left the arcade.
The boys didn't notice that one of Jason's henchmen was spying on them. He came out of the darkness with the subject in question. He flitted out of the arcade and headed towards the Lockwood Estate.
Night had fallen in Knightwood Bay, Justin and Benny got home to an empty house and they were currently debating on which game to play while they waited for the pizza they ordered. They still had not heard back from Ozzie, Benny left him a couple voicemails and text messages but no response was given back.
Justin heard what sounded like animals fighting outside; he got up from his chair and headed for the doors of his balcony. Benny watched as he opened the doors, and heard grunts and snarls coming from the park.
"Sounds like Ultimate Raccoon Fighting in the park." He exclaimed as he went to stand near his friend, "Sounds huge!" Justin decided to ignore the sounds and started towards the kitchen.
Across from Justin's house, at the park, Alison was walking towards the cemetery in search for blood that wasn't human. Her life had turned upside down the day she was bitten by her now ex-boyfriend, Jason. She hated this new life, an undead life, and one where she would never grow old; never die, had superhuman abilities, but came with a curse of feeding off the living to sustain her undead life.
"I see you still haven't fed from a human." Alison heard behind her and quickly turned around. As she turned someone flitted next to Erica and was hissing. Trevor was now holding Erica's arm and a couple more of them showed up behind them. "The sooner you accept your new life, the sooner we can be best friends again."
"Never, I can't believe you let Jason do this to you. He is such a…" she was cut off by Jason himself.
"Well, speak of the devil." He spoke as he flew down behind Alison.
She didn't know what to expect, at the moment she was out numbered if she tried anything at all. She tried to come up with a lie, "I need more time."
Jason hesitated, "Tick, tock." He rolled his eyes, "Times up." He was now looking at her dead in the eyes.
"You said I could choose, Jason. You said it was up to me." Alison pleaded with him but Jason was not going to have any of that.
"It is. But, hey some decisions need a little push." He stated as he started to grab her shoulders and almost kissed her. Alison put her arms up and slapped him across the face. Jason grunted and chuckled in amusement. "Come on, Alison. Can't you feel it? Your body knows what it wants." He exclaimed to her as his fangs started to peer out.
Alison crossed her arms satisfied at her actions, "Lucky for me, I think with my brain." She turned around and was about to start walking away from the group.
"You're not going anywhere!" Jason used his vampire speed to stop Alison from walking off again. He grabbed her shoulders and was about to fly off with her.
Alison pushed herself off of him and used her super strength to kick him across the park. Jason flew in the opposite direction and landed on his back while grunting. Trevor ran up to Alison only to be slammed onto the ground by her. She looked up and had her eyes in a golden hue and her fangs bared at them, the rest of the group did not move including Erica.
Justin and Benny were in the kitchen waiting for the pizza that still had not shown up, not to mention his parents and Aaron. Justin looked at the clock that read "7:45 p.m.", it had only been fifteen minutes since they placed the order, but Benny is very impatient when it comes to food.
They headed towards the living room and Benny landed on the couch sighing very dramatically, "I'm dying, Justin!"
"Calm yourself, you just need food." Justin exclaimed smirking at his friend as he laid on the love seat.
Benny started to smile and laugh, but his smile quickly fell as he recalled a memory. Justin took notice of this and quickly knew what was bothering his best friend. Benny got up and headed towards the window and stared into the dark sky; many stars were twinkling up above, the moon shinning brightly, but not quite full yet. Justin approached him and patted his back Benny not bothering to turn.
"I really want to see them Justin." Benny spoke softly, "I miss them."
"I know Benny, I know." Justin responded back holding back tears that threatened to fall. He doesn't like seeing his best friend like this, so he did the unthinkable. "Get your jacket B, we're heading out!"
Benny turned around to see Justin getting his jacket. He was shocked at the actions, his best friend Justin was going to break the rules. This was totally new to Benny, but was excited and did not hesitate and followed through.
Jason got up and yelled out to her, "Why fight it, Alison? You're the one who said you liked vampires." He approached her with force in each step he took.
"I never said I wanted to be one." Alison exclaimed back at him as she grabbed him from the shoulders and kicked him with all her force in the groin.
Jason kneeled down in pain and looked back at her. His facial expressions showed no remorse, his eyes flashed to neon blue, fangs bearing out at her. Trevor got up and held onto Alison, hands behind her back while she struggled to break free. All the energy she used wore her out since she was still in transition.
"You shouldn't have done that!" Jason stated in a demonic voice. He flitted behind her and grabbed her from behind, "Reconsider or a certain blonde will suffer from your decision!" He tossed her with all his superhuman strength into the dark sky.
She flew across the night sky screaming along the way and crashed at the Knightwood Bay Cemetery.
