Chapter 14 : Vampire 101 - Hunting

At the Lockwood Estate Jason was busy preparing the last of his plans, he had the crystal, he had his vampires, and the perfect plan to execute. He no longer cared if Alison joined, but he still wanted to have fun with her while he still could.

"Tonight's the night of one of the rarest alignments in the sky, it's time to take back this town from those who took it from us!" Jason exclaimed to the group as he picked up the box that held the crystal. The box had ancient carvings inscribed on it, with two gems on the front. As he held the box in the air triumphantly the gems started to glow softly.

Jason set the box down on the table and picked up a map, he showed everyone where the site of old Lockwood Estate had burned down. "The location of the unmarked grave where my followers were burned alive is at Baywood High. Everyone knows what to do, go and get ready." Everyone started to flash out of the house and into the town, "Erica hold on, I have one final task for you." Erica stopped in her tracks and turned around as Jason flashed up to her. He whispered in her ear with pure hatred, as she smirked and flitted out of the house in a blur creating a small breeze.

Jason turned around and looked at the box and chuckled devilishly, "Soon we shall be reunited and take back what's ours." Jason touched the box and it started to glow again. He started to hear the voices in whispers again; he turned in all directions trying to identify the direction they were projecting from.

Time! The first voice echoed through the room softly. Seek to know no more! The second voiced echoed in his head loudly. Jason could have sworn something or someone flitted in the room. The voices continued to echo throughout the house, his head turning in all directions; he wanted the voices to stop tormenting him. He dropped to his knees clutching his head, "STOP!" he yelled in agony. His eyes transitioned to neon blue and bared his fangs at the voices.

All of a sudden the voices stopped, he slowly got up from the floor, looked in all directions and was forcefully pinned to the desk behind him by an invisible force. All the voices echoed in the room as he struggled to break free, but the force was stronger than him. "Show yourself!" Jason snarled baring his fangs and neon blue eyes.

We'll be watching! The voices echoed loudly one final time. The force that was keeping Jason down vanished with the whispers, the room settled down while Jason got up. He knew what he was supposed to do and did not hesitate. He grabbed the box and flashed out of his house in an instant making his way towards the school.

Alison was waiting for the boys to show up, they were running a tad late. The three boys had to sneak out of Ozzie's house, which was easier said than done. Ozzie was able to carry them both out of the window and they quickly ran to Benny's house, knowing his grandma was at the Baywood Estate his house was empty; plus his house was only five blocks away from Ozzie's.

Alison saw the three boys down the street running towards the house while they were looking back. She was wondering why they kept checking back every few seconds. "Why the looks?"

The trio was panting for air, "We-had-to…" Justin began to explain while he rested his hands on his knees and Benny jumped in to finish.

"Sneak-out. We're actually-grounded." Benny told the brunette girl through pants.

She nodded at them and began to walk towards the house. "So what did you guys have to tell me?"

Benny unlocked the door to the manor and they quickly ran up to Benny's room. Benny's room was similar to Justin's; it was filled with posters plastered on the walls from their favorite comics, movies, and video games. Benny's room was messier than Justin's; he had comic books on the floor, random papers on and around his computer desk. His bed was unmade and there was some clothes peeping from under his bed. "You still haven't cleaned your room?" Justin exclaimed as he entered the room.

"Later!" Alison shouted at him.

Justin told Alison that tonight was the night of the full moon and they only had about three or so hours until then; the sun was beginning to set behind the edge of the woods on the north side of town, making the skies turn dark with shades of red and yellow running across the horizon.

"Jason needs the sacrifice of three vampires for the crystal to work. In order for a resurrection to work he needs to transfer the life energy of three vampires." Justin started to explain while Alison tried to soak in the news. "Now the crystal we read about was called the Animus Crystal, which is basically a way to preserve a supernatural soul; Ozzie overheard Jason say he had a Redivivus Crystal."

"Wikipedia says redivivus is Latin for reborn or resurrection." He chimed in while reading from the computer. Alison looked worried now, she wondered if they had read about the wrong crystal.

"So that's why he wants me to join so badly. And possibly why he turned Erica." Alison stated, "But why us, what's so special about us that he couldn't use his own followers?"

"If he was planning on using three vampires, then that's why he turned Ozzie too." Justin concluded, "But why would he, why you three?" He questioned while trying to connect the dots, but that was impossible. He honestly had no idea what the old vampire's intentions were.

"So, how do we stop him?" Alison asked the three.

"How many ways can you kill a vampire? We need to learn all their weaknesses if we are going to have a chance at stopping him." Justin answered. Alison had an idea, she instructed them to follow her outside. The boys were about to get a crash course in Vampire Hunting 101.

Alison set up a test dummy in Benny's backyard using a giant pillow, and a hockey helmet and a wooden pole for support. They took some pointed wooden planks from the small garden his grandma set up. Justin was using a crowbar to pry them off the nails while Benny had a hammer to hit the crowbar with and Ozzie ready to catch every single plank they threw at him. Alison had enough and wanted to get down to business, she went to the wooden fence and firmly held one plank and yanked it off with her vampire super strength and tossed it to Benny, who dropped the hammer and caught it. They looked at her as she quickly broke off the planks one by one while throwing them to the boys.

They set up and Alison showed them where they had to stake a vampire. She super sped towards the test dummy and forcefully drove the pointed edge of the plank through the dummy's center right chest.

"At this point if they haven't winced in pain, you haven't pierced their heart." She stated and drove the plank further in, "They should start to disintegrate in some form."

First up was Justin; he set himself up while the others watched. He ran towards the dummy, jumped a bit and spun in the air as he drove the plank through its chest; Benny giving him a thumbs up while nodding his head, Alison smiled thinking he probably got it off some video game, and Ozzie cheering him on. Benny was next, unlike his counterpart, decided to sneak up from behind and stake the dummy through the chest. Ozzie was at a distance and using his vampire super strength threw the wooden plank towards the dummy's chest. The plank impaled the dummy knocking it down from the powerful force Ozzie created. The three stared in shock as Ozzie was cheering in place at his victory. They did a couple more test runs until Alison was over it; they play too many video games. She thought they were ready as they'll ever be.

"What else can we use besides stakes?" Justin asked.

"We can fill our water blasters with holy water!" Benny excitedly stated.

"Now unlike movies and what you may think, vampires don't burn with holy water." Alison explained to the boys, "Same with the sun, we don't burn to dust or sparkle like in Twilight."

"Then why did I burn this morning?" Ozzie sassed the girl who seemed to have all the answers.

"You were completing your transition?" She stated but it sounded more like a question than an answer. "But you could shoot small pencils to stun them. It'll slow them down enough to stake them." She said to Benny. The three went back up to the room with Alison walking slowly behind them and started rigging their blasters with small, sharp, wooden pencils.

Alison was watching them put small pencils in foam darts and attaching them to a belt that was connected to their blaster. "So what's the plan?" she asked.

"Well seeing as our plan to get Ozzie and Erica didn't work before, I say we wing it." Benny stated to everyone, Justin smacked his friend in the shoulder and Benny mouthing a what.

"He's not wrong you know." Alison defended Benny's rational decision.

"Wait, we still haven't found where this so called unmarked grave is?" Benny interjected the group. Alison's phone went off as she got a phone call from Erica.

"Alison, help!" Erica cried through the phone line, "He is trying to kill me."

"Who is trying to kill you? And why are you crying?" Alison questioned the sobbing girl.

"Jason. He said I failed and as punishment I was going to be a sacrifice for some crystal." Erica sobbed some more and sounded terrified.

"Erica, calm down I can barely understand what you are saying. Where are you?" Alison asked Erica, she stopped long enough to answer her.

"He took us to the school, I managed to get away from Trevor, but they are looking for me. Please come, hurry" Erica spoke in whispers afraid that she'll get caught.

"Okay Erica stay hidden. I'll be there-" Alison was cut off by a screaming Erica as the line went dead. "Erica? ERICA!"

The three boys looked concerned, "What happened?" Justin asked.

"It's Erica, she's in trouble. Jason took them to the school, that's where the unmarked grave is. C'mon lets go." She quickly snapped at them and didn't wait for their response. They quickly ran down the stairs and were stopped by Grandma Knight.
