Chapter 13 : Being Normal is Vastly Overrated

"Why did you allow them to go?" Miranda stated to her husband as Jake and Penelope walked into the office, "They are grounded for sneaking out and taking the car!" She slammed the door behind her. She walked over to the desk waiting for her husband to give her an answer.

"Ozzie is their friend." Jake started, "Besides they said he was badly beaten and wanted to make sure he was doing okay." Miranda understood that much but wasn't happy with everything that has been happening; she was just being the overprotective mom.

"Both of you know I will be leaving for three months to work on a new film project." Miranda stated as she took a seat next to Penny opposite from Jake, "I know that both boys are developing into their gifts, but I don't want that to rule their lives. I want them to have a normal life."

Grandma Knight grunted at her and sat back in her chair, "Oh, being normal is vastly overrated." Jake chuckled at the elder woman's response.

"Well, I like being normal." Miranda proudly stated to both of them. "You know Jake, Penny," she sighed and sat back into her chair, "As much as I want the kids to grow up normal, they're not normal." She smirked as she thought of the perfect plan to discuss about, one that Penny wouldn't refuse and Jake would hate, but would agree on.

Jake saw the look his wife was giving them and was curious as to what she was thinking, "Honey, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

Jake and Penny were waiting for Miranda to respond, what she said next stunned them.

"The boys can learn about their family gifts." Miranda explained to both of them who had grins plastered on their faces, "On two conditions." Their grins quickly fell knowing there was a catch. "One, Penny here, will train them on how to use them wisely. Two," she turned to her husband with a devilish grin, "They can't find out that we know about these gifts, nor that you have a gift. Understood?" she pointed a finger at both for an understanding.

"Understood dear." Grandma Knight answered her and turned to Jake.

"How is that fair?" Jake questioned his wife's conditions.

"I know how you can get when you want to show off, plus I'm not going to be here for three months." She stated to him as she got up and started walking towards the door, "Who knows what you will contribute to the mess those two can already make without the help of a supernatural ability." Jake stared at her as she fiercely stormed out of the room. Miranda did not bother looking back at her husband, who knew was shooting daggers at her, she knew he had no choice.

Penny chuckled at him as she too got up and left the room, Jake could not believe what just happened. His wife had just manipulated him, and she didn't have a supernatural ability. He sat back into his office chair and sighed deeply while rubbing his temples, "Women." He got up and followed Penny to the secret room.

Aaron knocked on the door and waited for someone to respond, "You two boys have three hours before we have to head back." Justin and Benny nodded in agreement, Jake only let them go as long as Aaron drove them there and back. "Good Afternoon, Sheriff Matthews."

A woman in her late thirties answered the door; she was a three inches shorter than Aaron who was nearly six feet tall. She was very beautiful with short blonde hair, which was styled in an inverted bob made famous by Victoria Beckham; she had the most beautiful, piercing green eyes, they're like two lily pads floating on a crystal clear lake.

"Call me Liz, Aaron. I'm off duty." Elizabeth responded to Aaron who only smiled back. Justin and Benny kept their amused grins to themselves, "Come on in. What can I do for you three?" She asked as she closed the door behind her.

"The boys wanted to check on Ozzie. They want to know if he's doing better." Aaron stated as she showed them into the living room.

"He's sleeping upstairs, go on up you two." She pointed at the stairs and the boys quickly made there way towards the stairway. "Justin, Benny, hold on." The two boys stopped in their tracks on third step and turned around, "I just want to thank you for finding my son. He's lucky to have friends like you two." The two boys smiled at her and headed back up the stairs.

The two knocked on Ozzie's door, but there was no answer from the other side. They barge in and find an empty room, an empty bed, and the curtains barely open letting some sunlight and breeze come in. Ozzie's room reflected his personality perfectly. The room was painted a bright blue with white trimmings and borders. His room was plastered with posters of Star Wars, Star Trek and Spiderman to name a few. On his bookcase there were an assortment of comic books and action figures, some in mint condition. Near the window sill Ozzie had his computer desk set up with a game system hooked up to the screen. Ozzie's bed sheets were a simple bright blue and white compared to the rest of the room.

They walk into the room calling Ozzie's name and still no answer, they turn around about to leave the room when something falls near the window. The two investigate and approach the window slowly and cautiously. They take opposite sides of the window; they nod and quickly look out the window in all sides.

"Nothing." Both say in defeat. They turn around and are startled by Ozzie appearing out of nowhere.

"Guys, waazuup?" Ozzie asks the two completely ignoring the fact that he scared them.

"Ozzie?" Justin questioned the blonde hair boy.

"Is that you?" Benny finished for Justin completely stunned at the appearance of the blonde haired boy. He was no longer wearing his nerdy clothes the way he used to. He had a graphic red t-shirt under his unbuttoned blue plaid shirt and a black jacket over his shirts. His hair was no longer perfectly parted to the right; instead it was messy, shaggy hair and in all honesty wasn't that bad of a look for him.

"What happened to you? You," Justin stammered out, "you look normal!" they both walked around their friend making sure it wasn't some prank.

"All I Know is I woke up this morning feeling awesome." Ozzie excitedly stated to his two friends as he paced around the room. "No asthma, no allergies, no braces, I don't need my glasses, and I barely have to sleep anymore." His happiness died when he remembered something and walked to the window. "The only problem's the sun, kind of annoying," he opened the curtain a bit more and put his hand in between the sunlight waiting for it to start burning like it had done earlier, "Hmm, that's weird. It burned me this morning when I tried going to your house." He shrugged it off and opened the curtains letting the sun hit every corner of the room.

The sun casts a shadow and Justin's eyes wander to it, he suddenly remembers what day it is. "Ozzie do you have a calendar?" Justin frantically asks. Ozzie flashes to the closet door and pulls the calendar off and flits back to Justin with the calendar in hand. He quickly searches for the September page, and looks down to the phases of the moon. "Guys, there's a full moon tonight. Jason is going to use the crystal and bring back his family and followers." Justin worriedly looks up to them and glances at Ozzie's alarm clock on the nightstand. "We have about four hours before nightfall, and six or seven 'til the full moon reaches its apex."

"We don't even know where this unmarked grave is Justin. How do we stop a three hundred year old vampire, when we don't even know how the crystal works?" Benny asked Justin who shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think Alison would know?"

Ozzie was confused but when he heard the words crystal he remembered something he had overheard at Jason's mansion. "Are you guys talking about the Redivivus Crystal?" Ozzie asked the two who were on their way out of his room. They suddenly stopped and turned back around.

"Redi-what?" Benny asked he looked at Justin with a confused expression.

"Say that again Ozzie." Justin asked the confused boy.

Ozzie explained to them what he had overheard at Jason's mansion while the two boys walked back in and closed the door. "Jason kept talking about how he needed Alison to join for the crystal to work. He needed three vampire sacrifices."
