Benny/Erica one shot

Benny's POV

We walked into town and saw everyone hurrying past us, trying to get everything they need for tonight. Again I still dont believe the fact that people celebrate this stuff...its total crud! Ethan and Sarah, of course, were holding hands, when Erica pops out of no where in front of me. Startled, I jump back, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Still jumpy BenBen?" She flashes a grin at me. Confused, I was about to ask what she meant, until she grabbed my hand and pulled us into a full vampire speed run, down an alley way. When we got to where she wanted us to be, she turned around and slapped me across the face. I put my hand to my cheek with sad puppy eyes, staring into her hurt ones...wait..hurt?

"How come you never told anyone that you had anorexia?" I look at her bizzarly with confusion but then my confusion snaps to understanding. My own eyes flash to hurt. "Because I didnt want anyone to know." I said it simply, blank of any feelings on my face.

Another thing I should of mentioned....I still have slight anorexia, meaning I'm still sick in a way. But now that is some what gone because I'm a fledgling, so I do and don't. I know its confusing, yes, it does not make any sense, but its true.  Now, I have that, and I have to wake up every morning in pain because of the thirst, the hunger, building up in me.

"Why?" "Because it was no one's buisness" My voice croaks, my mind buzzing about what it would be like to bite her, what she would taste like. I didn't have the best understanding of what it would be like in a vampire...ya kno if the heart isnt beating....

My cold eyes wander to look at her neck, not realizing that Erica must be putting the pieces together slowly. I take my sight to look into her gold, shining eyes. My mouth, open ajar, I could feel my fangs slowly revealing themselves. I try to pull them back but they dont listen...stupid things! Consintrating on trying to hide them, I give Erica a side smile.

"You okay?" I dont think shes buying it....gr no duh Benny why would she?!! "Ya." Breathing wasnt to hard for me, but it is when your throat feels like its closing... "You seem...paler." She cocks her head to the side, putting a piece down. "Well I'm just getting over a cold." My voice is hoarse. "Really it doesnt seem-" "I gotta get going...I have a feeling Ethan is getting the wrong idea." With that, I ran at a normal human speed out of the alley, then turning to vampire speed, running home.

That, was close.

Erica's POV

Something isn't right with him...he seemed....edgy. Almost like Sarah when we had the blood drive at the school...also hes paler but yet seems stronger. I'm going to find out what is up with him even if it kills me!

I race after him and exits the alley, looking the direction he went, which was a deserted street...but he was gone.

Me and Sarah need to have a talk.

With instinct, I ran to Ethan's house, where I know they must be. I jump up on the roof and walk to Ethan's window, peeking in. Just as I suspected, they were there talking. I knock on the window and see them look at me with confused eyes. Ethan walks over and opens the window. "You do realize that there is a front door?" "Shut it noob. Theres something majorly wrong with Benny." Sarah walks up to me as I step in. "And your worried about him, why?"

I freeze but answer thoroughly. "Hes my friend, and he seems different. He's paler, he freaks out a lot and is distant when around other humans....and when we were in an alley, he was staring at my neck. Also! When he left, he ran out, but when I fallowed and looked down one of the silent, clear streets he ran down, he was gone. Almost like he has vampire speeds." I explain while pacing.

"So what your saying is, that Benny is a vampire?" Ethan laughs at my theory, so I glare at him. "Exactly, if not a vampire, a fledgling. If you cut yourself 'accidently' I bet he will either leave or tense up." I bite my lip.

"I still dont believe it. He would of told me." Ethan then left the room leaving me and Sarah to talk about the issue. "I agree with Ethan, those two tell each other everything. Any maybe he is just starting to get sick again...sorry." She shrugs before fallowing Ethan. I hiss in fustration.

I will find out if he is, or is not, one of my kind.
