I'm soo sorry for not updating for soooo long! But I'm back now and will be updating as much as I can. This chapter actually took me 3 days to complete. But in actuality only took me 7 hours. I get out of work at like midnight and only have about 2 to 3,maybe 4 hours afterwards before I have to go to sleep for work the next day. Anyways! Here's the newest chapter, let know what ya'll think!

Chapter 4 - Finding Out Sarah's Secret

Sarah left while I was still looking up at the ceiling. Sighing I looked down at my shoes and then up at Ethan to see him looking completely freaked out, so much so he was speechless.

"Wow, smooth. We get a mad hot babe here, and you immediately have to go and weird her out. Well done. Very impressive." Benny said going back to the tv guide. I walked over to the counter the boys were at and put my hand on Ethan's' shoulder.

"Hey, Ethan, are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost." Ethan looked at me and shook his head.

"No, I swear I just saw something." Ethan took a breath. "I'm telling you guys, she's not normal. And I'm going to find out what's going on."

"Alright, undercover brothers on a mission, I like it." Benny said at the boys started walking to the back door.

"Uh aren't you guys forgetting something?" I said crossing my arms and leaning against the counter.

"No?" benny said looking back at me. "Oh! Right, sorry. Undercover brothers and a sister on a mission. Come on Katie, we are going investigating." Ethan turned back around looking confused.

"Not exactly what I was talking about." I said as Jane walked into the room with her bunny doll and a tiara on her head.

"Yeah, what are you forgetting?" full of sass as always, jane is. Somehow benny managed to convince grandma to come over and watch jane for us so we could go investigate what was going on with Sarah. Hopefully, she turns out to be a pathological liar and Ethan stops liking her and realizes he is in love with me instead! Ugh, at most she'll just be really mean, and Ethan will probably still like her cause she's really pretty.

"Thanks grandma, you're a lifesaver." Benny said as he and grandma entered Ethan's house. Benny went over to our house to go and get her while I stayed here with jane and Ethan. Not sure what Ethan did while we waited but I played a little bit with jane and her dolls.

"Anytime dear." Grandma said. Jane, Ethan and I were back in the kitchen at the counter when they walked back in. jane was super upset about grandma watching her. As she put it, she couldn't have much fun cause grandma didn't do much whenever she babysat her.

"She smells funny." Jane mumbled.

"No, she doesn't, she-she smells nice. Like flowers and" Ethan started to grimace. "mothballs" he said quickly before turning around and walking further into the kitchen with jane on his heels. I stayed where I was and just watched. Benny was telling grandma about how if the pizza wasn't there in 26 minutes to not pay a dime while grandma set a timer on her watch. Ethan walked back into the kitchen putting his jacket on. I stood up straight and walked over to the boys.

"Alright, we, will be right back."

"I hate being 8." Jane mumbled again. I walked over to her and patted her head.

"Sorry to burst the getting older bubble, but it doesn't get better than this." We, being me and the boys, heading out to start the search for Sarah. She probably made good distance since we kind of took our time getting ready. We were walking down the street, me and Ethan in the front and benny in the back when me and Ethan heard something hit the ground. We turned around to see benny grabbing some stuff off the ground as he tried to get something out and still walk with us.

"What is all that stuff?" Ethan asked.

"Nerd stuff." I said as we stopped for a bit.

"Digi cams with night infrared, you can't possibly expect us to investigate the supernatural realm without the proper equipment." Benny said as he caught up to us and we stated walking again.

"Like I said, nerd stuff."

"Not nerd stuff, investigation stuff, get it right."

"whatever"

"Just keep it down, both of you, she already thinks I'm a perv."

"You said her reflection wasn't all there, right?"

"that's what he said" benny gave me a look. "What?"

"you're being meaner to me than usual. What got your panties in a twist? Anyways, e, here's a thought. What if this is some publicity stunt thing for that stupid dusk movie?"

"That makes since. What if her and erica are just messing with us in the hopes that we'll be 3 more lost souls trapped with the others and watch the dumb movie?"

"No, I don't think Sarah would do something like that."

"You barely even know the girl Ethan, you literally just know her name and that her reflection is weird. How do you know this isn't something she'd do for her friend, who is clearly obsessed with the dusk movies?"

"I just know, okay? What's with you? Ever since Sarah showed up tonight you've been weird."

"No, I haven't, and what about you? You ran upstairs and changed your clothes and put on cologne?" me and Ethan stopped to stare at each other while we argued. Benny was behind us just staring at us. "Why did you do that? Do you like her?"

"What? No, I don't. I-I do that any time a girl comes into the house."

"You don't do that when I come over."

"You don't count."

"Why?"

"I don't know, you just don't, okay?"

"Am I not a girl, Ethan? Or am I not pretty enough?"

"Wha- I never said that!"

"What is it then Ethan?" All of a sudden, benny started shouting causing me and Ethan to look over at him.

"IF THIS WAS A PRANK, I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!" he shouted. Ethan quickly tried to shush him. Shaking his head, he turned back to where we were heading.

"Come on, she was headed towards town." Ethan started walking again leaving me and benny to stand there awkwardly.

"Well, nice one bro." I said patting benny on his shoulder.

"Me? nice lovers spat you guys had. What are you jealous or something? Scared weird reflection girl is going to steal your man?"

"Honestly? Kind of." I started following Ethan again, benny soon to follow. We walked for a little bit longer, heading into town. No one said anything. It was very awkward. It was so quiet that you could hear the crickets singing. Creepy. I'm glad I'm not out here walking by myself. After a while of looking around with no sign of Sarah or really anyone we stopped.

"It's hopeless. We lost her."

"You think? We looked practically everywhere and haven't found her yet. Why are we looking for her anyways? If she's not human, she might hurt us. Or worse. Kill us." At this point, I freaked myself out. "What if we find her and, and she hurts us or kills us?" Ethan turned to me and put his hands on my shoulders. For some reason, whenever I'm panicking, Ethan is one of the only people who can get me to calm down, just by touching my arm or something as simple as that. Benny tested it.

"Sarah wouldn't kill us." Ethan said with such conviction, it made me kind of mad.

"Like I said earlier Ethan, you don't even know her enough to know that!"

"Look, my mom and dad saw her face, they know her name, what she looks like and where she goes to school. So, if anything did happen to us, which it won't, she could get in a lot of trouble. And I don't think she'd risk that." He explained. I sighed. He was right. She wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything to us with there being witnesses to who we were last with. I turned away from Ethan to look around causing his arms to fall back down to his sides.

"Must. Have. Pizza." Benny said, seeming like he was close to tears from the loss of his precious pizza.

"she's out here. I-I feel it." Weird. Benny looked at Ethan and then glanced at me and mouthed 'what'. I was about to say something when we suddenly heard crashing sounds coming from an alley that was near us. We all turned to look. We looked at each other and made the decision to go look. Well, the boys did, I followed cause I didn't want to be left alone. We walked over to the mouth of the alleyway and looked in. at first, I didn't see anything. "there's something in the alley."

"Well, no duh. Somethings gotta be making all that noise. And I don't think it's a rat." I said standing in between the boys. I kind of positioned myself to be between them but also behind them, lest something comes out. Benny held up his night vision camera and took a look inside the alley.

"Night vision engaged." He said turning it on. After a couple seconds he looked terrified.

"Benny what do you see?" all he did was turn the screen a little so I could see. And what I saw scared me too. There in the alley was Sarah, with fangs, eating a rat. A freaking rat. Gross. "Oh my god."

"What? Benny? Katie? What is it?" Ethan asked us. We said nothing, both of us just staring at the camera screen freaked out. Ethan started to head into the alley way when benny and I stopped him. Benny put his arm in front of him and I grabbed his jacket from behind.

"We should leave." Benny said.

"Yeah, we should leave, like 10 minutes ago." I nodded along with my brother, still staring at the screen, hoping that Sarah didn't notice us and make us her next meal. Benny shallowed whatever spit he had in his mouth.

"We should leave right now." He was scared, so scared he made no move to stop Ethan from grabbing the camera out of his hand.

"What?" Ethan said pulling the camera out of Benny's hand and looking into the alley. He held it in a way we could all see Sarah about to munch on down on a rat with her big vampire fangs. As if sensing each other's fear, we all started to scream. Sarah looked over at us shocked, but that passed, and she started hissing at us. Which just made us scream even more. Although if you ask me, benny was the one screaming the loudest. I think he nearly pooped his pants. He was frozen in fear as he kept screaming. Ethan started to run away but he came back to grab onto my arm to drag me away, but before he did, I grabbed benny and forced him to snap out of it and run with us.

"We are so dead." Ethan said as we ran.

"Speak for yourself. Speedy guy coming through. Warp nine." Benny said putting on a burst of speed while Ethan kept looking behind us.

"Come on Ethan, haven't you learned from watching those scary movies? Never look behind you, it slows you down and lets the killer get you. Eye's front, keep going!" I said pushing him on as he was in front of me. I was never the best at long distance running. Or speed. Did I have my inhaler? Shoot, I think I left it at Ethan's. So, jeez. Keep breathing Katelyn, keep breathing and keep running. Dear lord. I should have stayed home.

"I know I know." Ethan said out of breath. Next thing I know, he's screaming out. "Help! My babysitters a vampire! (He said the thing hehe)" and away we ran. I hope we can make it back to Ethan's without getting killed. I still haven't told him how I feel about him. Maybe I should say something while it looks like we'll get killed?

"Remember Halo level 3? That battle plan I sent you? Evasive maneuvers alpha foxtrot delta six engage." Benny said while doing some funky foot work.

"You never sent me anything" I huffed out watching my idiot brother flail around and topple over a giant concrete pot filled with dirt.

"Ow. I didn't send you one." He said groaning, as he laid on the ground. Me and Ethan ran over to him and stood there staring at him on the ground. Both of us gasping for air.

"rude"

"You missed. The pattern." Benny groaned out.

"Sometimes. I just skim your emails." Ethan said. Benny groaned and nodded.

"Fair enough." Ethan and I each grabbed one of Benny's hands and pulled him up. "thanks"

"what's your problem?" someone said behind us making us jump and scream a little. We turned around and there was Sarah. Shit, she caught up to us.

"Hold on if you eat us. That would so not be cool." I looked at Ethan.

"Nice one."

"Hey, I'm scared, okay? My heads all jumbled up." We turned back to Sarah when she scoffed.

"If I wanted to eat you, I would have done it by now." She said.

"See! She's gunna eat us." Benny said pointing at her. "we're doomed." He looked close to tears.

"No! no! no! I just want to talk to you guys!" Sarah said. While she was talking Ethan turned around and picked up some sticks he found on the ground. I gave him a weird look as he held them up to Sarah in the shape of a cross.

"Demon of the night, begone" he said. I giggled a little. Despite the situation, that was kind of cute. Sarah sighed again, get used to it girly. These boys are stupid.

"Whatever you guys saw; it is not what it looks like."

"Oh? You chowing down on rats in an alley way isn't what it looks like? What else could that look like?" I asked. She looked at me and opened her mouth to say something.

"you're a vampire who likes to drink blood and eat animals and whatever."

"Okay, so it's kind of what it looks like, but- "

"I'm warning you, I had garlic bread for lunch and I'm not afraid to use my breath." Benny took a breath in like he was going to breath on her.

"Ew, no, stop. I can smell that stank from here." I gaged. Sarah looked really frustrated.

"Will you both just shut up? I'm just a normal girl, okay? At least I was until I got bit by my crummy ex-boyfriend."

"Jesse, the pretty drama king? The one that I jokingly said earlier was a vampire?" Ethan looked at me.

"You think he's pretty?"

"Objectively, yes"

"Why?"

"Guys, pay attention please." Me and Ethan apologized and turned our attention back to Sarah, I could hear benny snigger beside us. "Anyways, I'm technically still a fledgling until I drink human blood. Which I don't really want to do. So, I have to figure out how to stop this thing before my mortal body dies. Or at least stop it from happening to more people like erica." Sarah explained to us. We all, me and the boys, looked at each other and kind of just, let out guards down a little.

"So, you're sure this isn't some stupid thing for that stupid dusk movie?" benny asked. Sarah did a kind of laugh.

"I wish." Just then we could hear growling and snarling sounds in the distance. Freaked out once again, I grabbed onto Ethan's arm. "Come on, let's get out of here. I'm not the only one feeding tonight. I'll get you guys home and if I'm lucky ill save erica before its too late." We walked home while Sarah explained the situation a bit more to us.

"I am so not joining them for lunch on Monday" I said as I wrapped my arms around myself. It had gotten quite chilly out and I was shivering a little. Looking over at me Ethan took his jacket off and held it out to me.

"Here, put this on so you don't get sick." Awh, he cares. And here I thought he was going to start ignoring me. smiling and thanking him I put it on. After a while we made it back to Ethan's house only to walk in and see grandma fast asleep and jane was eating ice cream and watching that stupid dusk movie. She got off the arm of the chair she was sitting on and walked up to us.

"About time. I'm so bored. Grandma passed out like five suns ago and she has like zero boom boom pow." I laughed and went over to the couch to sit down. I was still majorly out of breath and needed to sit down for a bit. Man, I felt out of shape. No more moving for me tonight, or ever. "Can we please play now?" jane whined to Sarah.

"I'm sorry. I gotta go." But we just got here! Ugh no more excitement for the night please. Sarah started to walk back to the door. "Be careful and don't tell anybody about, you know." Sighing I got up as everyone, minus grandma, who was still passed out in the chair, went to go into the kitchen. Look it wasn't much of a distance but I'm tired. I no longer wish to move.

"Yeah. I'm cool" Ethan said looking over at benny and I and nodding. "And nobody believes anything benny says anyways." I sniggered. That's true. Benny spouts off so much nonsense, people stopped believing him.

"And what about you Katelyn? You won't tell anyone right?" I nodded.

"My lips are sealed. Beside even if I did let it slip. I doubt anyone would believe me; I got this weirdo as a brother." Sarah looked relieved for a moment, and then she looked annoyed at us joking.

"Guys I'm serious, okay? And whatever you do, don't invite a vampire into your house. Its your only safe haven." Sarah looked sad. I kind of feel bad for her. She didn't ask for this to happen to her and now look at her. The guy she liked betrayed her and now she's gotta go stop him from doing the same thing to others, mainly her best friend. That sucks. Aha literally. Okay ill go die now.

"Got it, thanks." Ethan said. I honestly don't think this has all really settled in his head. Like its actually happening. This is our life now. Its so weird to think that just moments ago, everything seemed normal. And now we know about vampires. Weird. Sarah left and we kind of just stood there soaking in what happened. Then benny had to break the silence.

"Dude, where's the pizza?" he said looking disappointed that his precious za was not there. But as if summoned, the doorbell rang making benny smile. "The pizza dude is so late!" benny walked up to the front door rubbing his hands together, weirdo. "Bonus!" just as he got to the door, I started to get a bad feeling. I walked up to benny and put my hand on the door stopping him from opening it. "What?"

"I don't think we should answer the door, ben. I got a really bad feeling about this. Like think about it. Since when is the pizza ever late when its you who calls? And not only that but when is it ever this late in general? The pizza should have been here ages ago and its just now arriving? It seems weird to me." I said rubbing my arm. I didn't like this. I felt really uneasy.

"she's got a point dude. Maybe just, give up on the pizza for tonight. Call them tomorrow and say the pizza never came. Get a free one some other time." Ethan said walking up to us.

"Oh, come on, you guys are being ridiculous. Its just the pizza guy. What harm can he do? Throw a pizza at us? Ha!" and then benny completely disregarded my feelings and gently nudged me aside so he could open the door. As soon as the door was opened, I felt way worse. I brought my fingers up to my mouth and started biting on one of my fingers. "Come on in bro" benny said letting the pizza guy in.

"Benny!" I said looking at him like he was stupid. What the hell man! The pizza guy came inside and just started looking around, like he was looking for something. Or someone. Shit! Dammit benny! I started to back away, heading for the stairs.

"This is going to taste so much better since its free." Benny said grabbing the pizza box out of the, who I now think is fake, pizza guys hand and closed the door. "Sorry dude but I am just dying for a bite." He walked over to where Ethan and jane were standing. I looked up at the face of the pizza guy and gasped. Yup, not human. Those are most definitely fangs peeking out of his lips.

"So am I." the pizza guy said smiling showing off the fangs even more. I screamed a little and just stood there. The boys looked up from the pizza box and upon seeing the pizza guys face, screamed. Making me scream again. Sarah could still be close by, she could hear us screaming. She'll come save us. Right?

"Ethan!" jane screamed out holding onto Ethan for dear life and hiding her face in his side. Why didn't I think of that? Instead of being all alone over here on the stairs.

"It's okay. Its gunna be okay." Ethan said trying to calm jane down. "he's just playing a game you know?"

"Yeah, a game. Whoever tells me where Sarah is first, spends less time screaming," the pizza guy said causing benny and Ethan to squeak. I started to look around, trying to see if there was anything I could use to defend myself.

"Can I play too?" Sarah asked as she practically appeared out of nowhere. Holy moly, she was fast. Oh! Right, vampire. Even being a fledgling, she got some perks. Super speed.

"Yes!" Benny and Ethan said together while I remained voiceless on the stairs.

"Jesse got tired of waiting, so he sent me to come pick you up." The pizza guy said as he got closer to the others. I started to walk down the stairs, so I was still close to them.

"I guess you are just the delivery boy after all" Sarah said, roasting him. Ha-ha nice one. I giggled a little bit.

"at least I know whose side I'm on." He retaliated. Not the best with come backs, huh. He looked over at me, making me freeze up once more, and then back to the others. "Fledgling."

"Okay, um, can I just grab a slice while you do your little vampire trash talk?" I looked over at my brother. Is he really only focusing on the food right now? Typical benny, but soo not the time.

"Benny!" Ethan and I whisper yelled. Ethan looked over at me, a slightly shocked look on his face. Almost like he forgot I was there. After we looked at each other, both with fear for what might happen in our eyes, he looked back at benny.

"If I'm going to have a last meal, it might as well be an italiano deluxe!" why would he want his breath to smell like garlic as he dies? Gross….oh. never let anyone tell you I never said my brother was smart. That brain of his isn't always working on the right things at the right time, but when they are, ya'll better watch out! Ethan continued to look at him confused until finally, he seemed to get it.

"Oh right, italiano deluxe." Ethan said smiling and nodding. "With extra garlic!" Ethan shouted out, which must have been the code word or something cause suddenly benny sprang into action. He through the pizza, box and all, right into the vampire pizza guys face.

"Gotcha!" benny shouted out. The four of them ran up to the pizza guy, who was smoking and looking like he was in a lot of pain. "Go go go" benny pointed to the stairs. I took that as my cue to start heading back up the stairs as Ethan, benny, and jane followed. Sarah stayed behind to fight the vampire guy, or at least hold him off for us to get away. We ended up going into Ethan's room and shutting and locking the door behind us. I went over to the bed and sat down, trying to think of something we could do should Sarah fail with beating that guy. I looked around Ethan's room, there's the hockey stick we could break and stake the guy with, but I don't think Ethan will want to do that. There's a trophy for something, can't really tell from my spot on the bed. What else could we use?

"I don't think she's winning." Ethan said leaning up against the door to try to hear what was going on downstairs. Wait, grandmas still down there. Is she still sleeping? I hope so, and I hope the fighting vampires leave her alone.

"Not with that attitude." Ethan looked over at me and frowned.

"Not the time Katie." I shrugged.

"Trying to lighten the mood, sorry." He nodded and did a little mini smile at me before his attention was brought back to the door.

"of course, she's not winning. She's not a real vampire yet." Benny reminded us. Right. Fledgling against full blown vampire, the odds are not in our favor.

"she's a vampire!?" jane asked looking shocked. Oh snap, I forgot she was there for a bit. That's bad, I don't think Sarah or Ethan or any of us really, wanted her to know about this stuff. I looked over at the boys to see that they too looked like they forgot jane was there. "Why is the pizza guy acting all crazy?"

"Uh, he's just upset about not being paid. It'll be fine." Ethan said while he and benny decided to start holding the door closed. Honestly, with what jane saw tonight, it'd be easier to just tell her what was happening, she's evil. She'd find a way to make us tell her and have it be so painful.

"I'm calling mom and dad." Jane said pulling out a cell phone. What? Where did she get that? And uh no! don't tell the parentals, we'd be in even more trouble.

"No no no, don't, just. You have to trust me on this one." Ethan said trying to stop jane from calling the rents. He walked over to the bed where me and jane sat. he tried to grab the phone out of janes hands, but she moved it out of the way and held it behind her head out of his reach.

"You make my bed for a whole week."

"deal" wow you could really hear the fight downstairs. Where grandma still was. Shit. I got up and walked over to benny and looked at him catching his eye. 'Grandma is still down there' I mouthed to him. His eyes widened and he looked at the door. 'shit' he mouthed back to me. "Thank you" I turned back around to look at Ethan to see he had managed to get jane to give him the phone and that he was walking back over to us. "That problem is temporarily fixed." Ethan leaned against the door trying to hear what was going on again, after a couple seconds he leaned back from the door. "someone's coming. Quick! Come on come on." He looked around and then spotted his bed. "Grab the bed." Ethan, benny and I jumped into action and jumped over the bed and started to push it up against the door. Even with the three of us it was a little difficult, not to mention, jane was still on top of it. If we are against a full-fledged vampire, I don't think a measly little twin bed is going to do anything, but whatever. At least its something. I just wish the boys wouldn't make those weird grunting noises that they are.

"Open up, its me." ah thank god, it was only Sarah. The boys groaned at having to move the bed again, I was just happy it wasn't the other guy. And again, the boys made those weird groaning noises as we moved the bed enough to open the door for Sarah. Once there was enough space, I jumped over the bed and opened the door for her. And then immediately, all of us, minus jane and the evil guy downstairs, leaned against the door.

"What happened? Where is he?" Ethan asked as Sarah was trying to catch her breath.

"Yeah, I highly doubt he just left on his own." I said moving my hair out of my face.

"let's just say, I introduced him to some of your mom's good silverware." Sarah said to Ethan, grinning. I laughed, probably a little too crazy like if the looks I got were anything. But come on, I deserve to let a little crazy out after all that's happened tonight. After I stopped and caught my breath, I decided to sit back down on the bed next to jane. Who gave me a look. I shrugged. I once again tried to look around the room to find something we could use to end this crazy situation we found ourselves in. could I be dreaming? Maybe, then again. If this were a dream, there'd be way more Ethan loving on me than what's actually happening. "What do you have for weapons?" Sarah asked the boys.

"that's what I've been trying to figure out." I stood up and walked back over to them.

"Uhhh, mmm. Don't know. Uh." Ethan and benny started looking through the things Ethan had on his little shelf thing. After a little bit of them looking Ethan started to laugh and walked over to me and Sarah with a trophy. "What about this?" shortly after he said that he almost tripped over benny.

"a debating trophy?" Sarah said looking at him with a look that screamed, 'are you kidding me right now?'

"it's the pointiest!" Ethan said. Benny was still looking around so I decided to head over to try to help him. I looked over at the hockey stick again and picked it up. This would most likely be the best thing we got in here. I squinted at the hockey stick when I noticed something. Was this signed? Who signed it? Ryan Seacrest? Really Ethan. Rolling my eyes, I hit Benny's shoulder with the stick. He looked over at me and seeing the hockey stick, grinned taking it out of my hands. We both turned towards Ethan and Sarah who were next to the door.

"Guys, I found something that could work. We could break this and make it into a stake or something. That'd be helpful right?" I asked pointing to the hockey stick in Benny's hands. Ethan looked over to see what I was holding, and his eyes opened wide. He got right up to benny and tried taking the stick out of his hands.

"No no no no no no" Ethan said, sounding kind of cute. He grabbed onto the stick and continued to try to get it out of Benny's hands. Rolling my eyes again I went over to Sarah to help her hold the door closed. Even if it wouldn't really be much help. "This is auto-graphed!"

"What? By who?" benny looked at it and made a face. He looked up at Ethan. "RYAN SEACREST!? Really?" benny let go of the hockey and just looked at Ethan like he lost all faith in his best friend. Said best friend was now holding the stick to his chest like someone was going to try to take it from him. He eventually walked over to his desk and grabbed some pencils and a sharper after setting down the stick.

"These are really great. Wooden and sharp." He said walking back over to us.

"that's great, if we wanna give him a splinter!" I said as Sarah said: "that's great, if were fighting vampire squirrels!" faintly hearing something I put my ear against the door and I could better make out the sound of footsteps. Close footsteps. "Guys! I think he's coming!" I started to get scared again. We are not prepared for this at all, we might die or get hurt very badly. I've never had to deal with anything like this outside of video games!

"Did anyone ever tell you, you are a really bad babysitter?" Ethan said, not the best thing to say but it made me grin a little. Sarah, not so much.

"he's kind of right." I said.

"I'm new at this." Right after Sarah said that, the vampire pizza guy started pushing the door. Trying to get in. I groaned and put as much of my weight against the door as I could to keep it closed. But then, there was a ringing sound. Almost like a phone, shit. I looked over at Ethan with panic in my eyes. Do not tell me his parents are calling now, of all times, when shit is about to hit the fan. We are dead. And it's not going to be the vampire guy that kills us, no, Ethan's parents will. Ethan's eye widened and he walked over to where he had set the phone down earlier. "don't answer it!" Sarah shouted while benny came over to help us keep the door closed after seeing us starting to struggle.

"Oh Sarah!" the vampire dude said. I scrunched up my face and turned towards the door.

"don't be creepy, dude, not cool." I said before looking back at Ethan. Trying to get my mind off of what was happening. Which by the way is very difficult while actively trying to keep the bad guy out. But looking at Ethan while he answered the phone was actually kind of helping.

"hello?" Ethan said, while vampire creep started to bang on the door. Ethan ran over to us to help us as we were having a hard time keeping the door closed. Even with the three of us over here already. "Uh, hey mom." Yup, we are going to die. "Can't really talk right now, but" I could barely hear his mom on the other side. But I could not for the life of me make out what she was saying. "Okay." He handed the phone over to Sarah, who for some reason, still had that stupid trophy in her hands. She took the phone and walked away from the door. Oh great, thanks. The only thing really helping us was her super strength.

"Hello?" Sarah said covering one of her ears so she could actually hear what Ethan's mom was saying. Didn't she have like better hearing? Why would she need to? Oh. Right. There's someone being very rude and making a lot of noise over here by banging on the door. Of course, she'll have difficulty hearing Ethan's mom on the phone. "Oh, uh, they're playing a video game. Hey! Keep it down you guys!" Sarah said acting like she was yelling at us from another room. "Oh yeah sure, that's fine. Uh, see you then. Bye!" she hung up and then tossed the phone onto the bed next to jane. She came back to the door right as the vampire dude punched a hole in the door, making me and someone else, probably benny, scream. Reacting out of pure instinct, I grabbed the trophy out of Sarah's hand and stabbed the vampire creeps hand that was sticking out of the hole.

"Out the window, you guys! Fast!" Sarah whisper shouted. First went Ethan, then benny followed by jane. I ended up letting Sarah go before I did, and I managed to hear the vampire creeps words as we left.

"a debating trophy?" I started climbing out the window and looked back at him. And I saw him pull the trophy out of his hand, which by the way, was gross. Not giving myself time to fully react to it I jumped out of the window. Just barely managing to tuck and roll when I landed, which made me feel a little dizzy. Shortly after getting my bearings, we started to run away. Only to be stopped when the vampire creep appeared in front of us. He hissed at us and was getting ready to strike when Sarah popped up behind him and pulled him down. As soon as he hit the ground Sarah pulled a stake out and stabbed him. Me and Ethan put our hands over janes eyes when Sarah did that.

"Okay, she maybe a lousy babysitter, but that was the bomb!" benny said, even though he looked shaken up. I nodded, agreeing with benny on the part that that was cool. Would rather not have to go through that again but it was cool. Sarah looked up and grinned at us, showing off her very own fangs. She kind of looked badass and hot. Okay, so I swing both ways. Sue me. oh man, I'm hungry. Sarah got up and walked over to us.

"Okay, come on let's get back in the house where its safe." She said. We all agreed and made our way back inside. Upon entering the house, we saw how much of a mess it was. Holy cow, vampire creep really did a number. "Good luck cleaning this all up before your folks get home." Rude, she's basically to blame for this mess and she's going to leave and let us take the fall? How dare she.

"What? This? Oh, this is nothing." Ethan said while he looked at the mess in the hallway.

"Nothing? Are your eyes working Ethan? This is a disaster. We are toast." I said rubbing my forehead. I've already made the decision to help Ethan, and force benny to help as well.

"It's amazing she can sleep now." Sarah said walking into the living room. And there was jane passed out on the couch.

"she's tough." I said making muscle arms, trying to lighten the mood. Even though personally, I, too, feel like finding a soft spot and passing out. They all rolled their eyes at me. whatever, I think I'm funny.

"Grandmas got the magic touch. When I was six and scared of robots, she- "

"Fascinating." Sarah said, quite rudely cutting off benny. "Look, if I get to jesses before midnight, I can still save erica." She continued as she started walking back towards the front door.

"The pizza guy, he's dead right?" Ethan asked, even though he didn't really look like he wanted to know the answer. But what I'm a little confused about is if Sarah needed to get to jesses so bad to save erica before midnight, why did she fight that guy instead of just going with him? Would've saved her some time and effort.

"Not dead. No, just in some kinda limbo for souls. But he won't be back here." Sarah said waving her hands around. Benny walked over to us, didn't even notice that he left us, holding a piece of pizza.

"I found a survivor." He said with a big smile on his face. Was he going to eat pizza that touched someone else's face and the floor? Gross. Ethan groaned and I made a face.

"Okay, just, stay inside where its safe. okay?" Sarah said leaving the house. Before she was fully out, benny asked her to say hi to erica for him. Which caused me and Ethan shush him. And I even went the extra mile and smacked his arm, making him almost drop his pizza. He screamed a little and gave me a look. Just as he was about to take a bite, his phone rang. Who else could be calling? And who would be calling my brother? His only friends are right here in the room? Don't tell me its Rory.

"Ethan, hold my pizza." He said pulling out his phone. Ethan took the slice and then took a bite out of it. Benny made a face when he saw who was calling. "Should I even bother picking it up?"

"Let me guess, Rory?" I asked. Ethan nodded and benny looked at me with this depressing face that said, 'sadly, yes'. I walked in between the two dorks and looked at the phone. "Answer it, I'm curious as to what he wants to say."

"Yeah, why not?" Ethan said shrugging. Benny answered his phone and put it on speaker for all of us to hear.

"Benny! WAZZUP?!" Rory shouted out.

"Wazzzahhhhh…shhhh..." benny started to respond in kind to when he realized where we still were. We all looked up and decided to move to another room so we wouldn't wake jane up.

"Wazzup!" Rory repeated. I rolled my eyes.

"you guys are lame, that's wazzup."

"Nice one, e!" I said highfiving Ethan. Benny sarcastically laughed as we stopped in the kitchen. Ooo, food.

"If I'm so lame, how am I chillaxing at the most slamming party in town?" Rory said, kind of singing the last part. I looked over at the phone confused. Who invited Rory, of all people, to a party? I looked over at Ethan when it clicked. Rory had to be at that party Sarah mentioned. The one at her vampire ex boyfriend's house. The one filled with vampires. They probably invited Rory over for some easy eating. As annoying as Rory is, he defiantly did not deserve to be eaten.

"Wait, did we miss another mathletes event?" Ethan asked, clueless. I gently smacked his shoulder. "Hey! That hurt." I rolled my eyes and mouthed: 'he's probably at jesses party, small brain.' Nerds, gotta love them. Ethan still looked confused like he couldn't quite make out what I said. I was about to repeat myself when Rory answered.

"No dude, a real party. At this huge mansion. And almost all the kids here, are seniors! Including the girls." There was a slight pause. "Hey beautiful, like what you see?" I turned to the phone and gave it a look. Weirdo. My stomach growled and being lazy, I simply took the pizza out of Ethan's hands and took a bite.

"Hey that was mine." Ethan said frowning at me, to which I replied with sticking my tongue out.

"Guys, this party is off the hook!" Rory said after he was done harassing whatever unfortunate girls happened to pass by him.

"howd you get in?" benny asked. I don't think he realized where Rory was yet. But you could tell by his voice that he didn't quite believe that Rory was at any kind of cool people party. Not really interested in Rory talking about the 'hot babes' I walked back to the living room to check on jane. Seeing her still passed out and sleeping peacefully I returned to the kitchen, only to see the boys looking at the phone shocked.

"Uh? What happened?" I asked walking up to them to stand next to Ethan. Benny turned the phone a little more so I could see what put them in shock. Shit. It was a picture of erica dancing. By herself. As in there was no one else in the photo. Meaning, vampires. Great.

"Uh, Rory. These seniors, they're not from the drama club, are they?" Ethan asked, looking like he didn't want to hear the answer he knew was coming.

"Yeah. Some of them. Oh, and get this! There's going to be a buffet at midnight!" Rory said, oblivious to the fact that he himself, will be part of the buffet. I groaned. Gosh darn it. This means we will have to go save him.

"Rory, you need to listen, okay? We need you- "Ethan started to say before Rory interrupted him.

"Sorry I gotta go, conga line! YEAH!" Rory said before hanging up on us. Benny whistled as he put his phone away. I stood in front of them, my eyes wide. Benny stopped whistling and looked between me and Ethan, whose eyes were also wide.

"Oh, don't say it." benny said still looking between us. "guys" he whined.

"We don't need to say it." I said crossing my arms.

"don't. cause if you say it, well have to go and find that doofus. And I for one, do not want to crash a vampire dinner party."

"And you think I want to? And for Rory? No, but it's the right thing to do." I scratched my head. "he's our somewhat friend. We kind of have to go save him." I said shrugging. Ethan nodded to indicate he agreed with me. benny continued to look between us before he sighed and caved.

"Alright. Ill go. But I'm not walking." Benny said. What does he mean? What is he going to start flying? Oh! Grandmas' car. He's talking about taking grandmas car. After revealing that he meant the car we all nodded and headed over to our house. And by our I meant the place me and benny live with our grandma. We walked up to the car after benny went inside the house to get the keys. "Just got to switch her to neutral cause we gotta keep this on the downlow."

"Well, no duh, sherlock." I said from the passenger side. I had rolled the window down and closed the door, so it'd be a little easier to push. Just as we were about to start pushing the car, Ethan stopped us.

"What the heck is that?" glancing over to where he was looking, I shuddered. Memories id like to have burned out of my mind.

"Oh, replacement bulbs for grandmas tanning bed. She likes working a tan. I've seen her come out of there once, not pretty." Benny shaking his head. Probably trying to forget like I was.

"Not pretty at all." I shuddered again. Ethan looked over at me and I shrugged. Living in this house I live in, you see some things. Benny sighed and sat up from his spot in the driver's seat.

"Anyway, come on." I got back in position to push when I looked over at Ethan. He was still looking at the lights with his thinking face on. He looks so cute.

"Yeah, one sec." Ethan said. I think he's got an idea. "I got an idea." Yup. "Remember last year when we dressed up as jedis?" I grinned and walked to Ethan's side.

"I'll get my dad's tool kit." Benny said getting out of the car and heading for the garage.

"I'll never understand how you can think of something like that so quickly. Its impressive." I said leaning against the car. Ethan looked up at me and rubbed his neck grinning.

"Oh, I don't know, I just happens I guess." His face was red again. I walked up to him and put my hand against his forehead. "Uh what are you doing Katie?"

"Checking to see if you have a fever. Your face got red." I stepped away from him not feeling anything weird with his temperature, only to notice his face got even more red. "are you getting sick?"

"What? No, why would you-I'm fine. My face isn't red. What are you talking about?" Ethan let out a nervous chuckle. Is he okay? I raised one of my eyebrows.

"You sure? You look like a tomato."

"Alright, let's do this thing!" benny said coming back from the garage with our dad's tool kit in his hands. Ethan jumped and then immediately got into action. Him and benny started fiddling with the lights while I watched. I hope no one gets hurt tonight.
