Chapter Five, part one
Back to: Chapter Four Next: Chapter Five, part two
A late spring night in 2012.
In a suburban town miles outside of Seattle.

A teenager had just come home from a party.

Alex Benston was a popular seventeen year old who was about to graduate.
It was normal for him to come home on weekends at 4 am.
Normal for friends to call him nonstop..

Alex: Dude that party was sick! We are doing it again tomorrow!

..normal for friends to text him nonstop.
...but all of that can change in one moment.


Alex: Why are all the lights out?

Alex:....mom?

Alex: Mom!!! Oh my god....

Alex: No!!! Mom!! Mom!!

And that one moment led Alex to a life that was anything BUT normal.





Sade's body lay still on the cold bar.
The echoes from her screams had faded.
The blood had dried.
All that was left was her sub-conscious.....
telling her to wake up.

...and that she did.
....as a new person.

....or shall we say, a new vampire.



Her head was pounding as she regained her balance.


When she finally made it outside, the sounds and the surroundings began to swirl around her.

Even through the dense fog, the rays of sunlight felt like they were melting her skin off.

As she made her way to a bus stop, Sade began to notice just how much louder and vibrant the world around her was.

Her emotions were also heightened.
Which caused her to cry all the way to the bus stop.





At the Benston residence, two siblings were digging deeper into their mothers past.

Carolina: Shit. There has to be at least fifty names in here. Forty of them are crossed out!!
Alex: I know it's crazy. I can't believe my vampire theory is actually true. Mom was a vampire hunter who died because vampires got their revenge. I wonder if they were connected to Joseph.

Carolina: You know what else is in here right? Some list of people . It says that their mission was to rid the world of toxic vampires and their leader. All I can make out is "Tatiana- witch".
Alex: Yep. There's also something in there about something called a Soul Stone. I can't really make out the rest. There's a lot of scribbling.

Carolina: So why don't we go find out? I say we drive back to our old house and dig up some more stuff. Remember we never cleaned out the basement and the house is abandoned now.



Sarah: Oh my god! Sade!! Where were you all night?!


Sade: Please stop yelling. I have a headache.
Sarah: What is all this? You drank two bottles of wine and some raw steak?? Are you high?

Sade: Stop yelling! What the hell is with this light?? It's so damn bright!
Sarah: I don't know what you took, but can you please sit down? You're starting to scare me.

Sade: I didn't take drugs! You're voice is really starting to give me a huge migraine. Would it kill you to lower your damn voice??
Sarah: Sade....I'm not yelling.

Fiona: What's going on? When did she come back?
Sarah: I don't know. I found her like ten minutes ago. She drank some wine and ate raw meat. I think she's tripping out on something.

Sade: Why do you have to talk so loud?! I am right here!!
Fiona: Calm down. Just sit down. I'll get you some aspirin and a glass of water.
Sade: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

Sade: I don't need your help!!


Rika: This can't be happening.


Rika: Marcus, please tell me you didn't turn that Sade girl.
Marcus: I was bored! You know since Jane died, I have no partner.
Rika: You really think this impulsive, hard-headed girl with self-esteem issues will make a good vampire?! She would be lucky to make it past one week before she goes on a killing spree. This will NOT be a good transition.




Naomi: Potestas....Potestas.....Potestas


JJ: Shouldn't you be sleeping? You worked all night.
Naomi: I need to meditate....Potestas....Potestas...
JJ:....*mutter*...god forbid you act like a normal person for once.

Naomi: Excuse me?
JJ: Nothing. Don't pay attention to me, I'm a little drunk.

Naomi: Figures. It's eight in the morning, why not crack open a bottle of whiskey?

JJ: Yeah! Remember when you used to join me? When you weren't so wrapped up in your spells and vampire drama.
Naomi: I apologize! It's only our lives that are at stake! I guess I should just slack off and get drunk with you every day.
JJ: Yeah well it was never this bad. We used to have fun! We would go to concerts, get drunk on top of my truck, go skinny dipping in the city fountain! I want that girl back in my life. Do you really blame me?
Naomi: JJ, I'm trying to save YOUR life. They already took you once. I'm not about to let that happen again.
JJ: They don't want me. They already have my sister...
Naomi: We don't know that!
JJ: We do. You are just too stupid to realize it.
JJ: Whatever. You keep doing what your doing. Even though it's all pointless.

JJ: This Joseph guy will kill us all when he shows up. At least I'll have the time of my life before he does.




Jasper: Ok I'm finally here. Let's just go in there and calmly ask her what happened.
Sarah: I really hope this works. I'm telling you, Jasper. The girl is on some crazy drugs.

Jasper: Is that....blood?
Sarah: Yeah. I told you she ate RAW meat. Don't ask why.

Jasper: Sade....It's me. C'mon take my hand and I'll walk you upstairs. You can sleep this off.
Sade: Make it stop....please make it stop.
Jasper: Make what stop? What's going on?

Sade: Everything is just so loud. I feel so HUNGRY. I ate and I ate,but this craving won't stop. Please....

Sade: Make it stop!!!!!!

Fiona: Wait, come back!!!






Jasper: Hey!! What are you doing?!

Sarah: No.....it can't be.
Fiona: Tell me I'm dreaming.




Shane: It's been a while. We need to talk.

Sarah: Sh...Shane. It's Shane Greggor. Oh my god.



Rika: Damnit.This is not good.






Alex: Looks the same as it did a year ago.
Carolina: Strange.

Carolina: I guess no one ended up buying it.
Alex: Yeah well after it happened and I went to live with grandma and grandpa, the real estate agent tried for months to sell it.
Carolina:...and no one wants to buy a house where someones been murdered.

Alex: That and it took us a while to clean the house out. I was going to therapy, you were finishing up your degree. It's not like our grandparents can do that themselves.
Carolina: As if I don't feel guilty enough.
Alex: Lina. You know mom wanted you to finish college. I'm glad you did.

Carolina: *sigh* well let's start with the basement.

Carolina: That's where everyone hides their secrets.






Sarah: Shane. It's been two years. Where have you been all this time?
Fiona: Who is this guy?

Raj: My name is Raj. I am a werewolf. You're friend Shane here....is ..
Shane: I'm a vampire...alot of things are about to change around here.

Sarah: Oh my god....

Fiona: How are you a vampire? Did Joseph turn you?
Jasper: Did he send you here to kill us?

Raj: Relax. We are not your enemies. We are against Joseph. He killed my wolf pack many years ago, so I want him dead just as much as you do.
Shane: He turned me two years ago. I was supposed to be part of the ritual,but Raj and our other allies rescued me. Ever since then I've been in hiding. I'm sorry I never contacted you guys. It was a complicated time.
Raj: Anyway, we were in town last night when we saw that vampire Marcus walk inside some run down bar. We didn't follow him because Joseph wants us dead.
Shane: We didnt see what happened last night ,but from what i could hear there was a struggle going on. I heard sade yell and then there was silence. And from the looks of it he turned her.

Jasper: ...NO!!! This can't be happening!!! how could you just stand by and let it happen?!

Raj: If he discovered us, then he would have called Joseph and had us killed!
Shane: I know this is hard for you guys to hear, but I promise I will get Sade through this.

Fiona: I don't understand! How is she walking around in the sun?
Shane: She's in transition. She will become a full vampire when she feeds on human blood.

Jasper: Then how are you walking around in the sun if you are a full vampire?
Shane: We have a very powerful witch on our side who knows a spell. If you let us, we can have her put the same spell on Sade. She can live a normal life. I can even show her how to survive without killing anyone.
Sarah: ...this is all my fault.


Sade: So I took a shower and I still feel like shit. Also the water felt like fire on my skin.

Jasper: Sade, let me take you up to your room. You need to rest.
Sade: What I need is for everyone to stop acting so weird and tell me what's going on!

Sade: Get away from me!!!! I'm not stupid. I know what you are!
Shane: Just let me help you.
Fiona: We all want to help you.
Sade: Yeah right! You all just think I'm on drugs!

Sade: Since none of you are willing to help me , then I'll help myself!
Jasper: No!!

Jasper: This is bad...this is so bad.
Raj: A new vampire doesn't know how to control herself. If we don't find her soon, a lot of people are about to die.

Fiona: You three go out there. We will stay here in case she comes back.



JJ: I'm going out to a show with some friends. Don't wait up.
Naomi: So you're still mad at me?

JJ: I'm not mad, I'm just sick of walking around eggshells around you. Like I said, you keep doing your witch stuff and concentrating on this stupid vampire sacrifice. I am going to be living my life while I still have one.

Naomi: You think I like this? Of course I would rather be hanging out with you and my friends, but you have to understand that we just can't do that anymore. I need to get stronger if I want to stop Joseph. I also need to make sure you don't go off the deep end during transformations. I'm just trying to help everyone the best way I know how.
JJ: Yeah well you failed to help my sister.
Naomi: AH! There it is, the real reason you have been acting like a jackass! Thanks for finally telling me the truth.

JJ: Don't patronize me! Darcy is my sister! I have the right to be angry. That night you were more concerned with the faerie and her stupid friends. As a result she got away from us and who knows where the hell she is now!

Naomi: You seem to be forgetting that you were transforming at that moment and I was helping you! Maybe if you were in control........

JJ immediately cut her off and shoved her back.



JJ: ....I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shove you! It's my anger, you know that.

Naomi: If you don't leave in two seconds I will show you my anger.
JJ: You wouldn't!
Naomi increased the power of the orbs she was producing. The force slowly slid JJ to the door.

JJ: You really want to do this?!


Naomi: AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naomi: AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!




Carolina: So there's nothing new here. All I can find are some torn up journals with illegible handwriting.

Alex: Yeah there's a lot of junk down here. We should really get this stuff out of here. I'll call grandpa later and ask if we can drop it all off. Looks like this trip was a ......hey wait what's this?

Alex: Look, I found a picture of mom and some people. Hmm "The Joseph Resistance- January 2012." Guess that answers our questions.

Carolina: Oh my god! That's Shane Greggor! I know him from high school. How was all of this going on without us noticing?!

Alex: Well this picture was taken in the basement. Mom was always late coming home from work so they could have been meeting after I went to sleep.

Suddenly footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.
A dark haired beauty appeared behind the two.

Tatiana: Or I just cast a simple spell that hid us from you. Hello, Carolina and Alex. I guess now is a good time for an explanation.
