The Other One

Liar

A few days passed. No signs of Ethan. No one even mentioned him. Everywhere I looked around I felt like I saw him but obviously it wasn't him. My mind was playing tricks on me. Grayson told me he was fine but I knew he was lying to me. I texted Ethan all the time hoping he would answer me. But nothing. My anxiety was up because of what Erik had told me. When would it happen? Today? Tomorrow? A couple of hours? I was at school by myself. I decided to take my own car. I needed some space. I went to the water fountain to get something to drink outside. I heard a girl moaning. I was flushed with embarrassment. I turned the corner. I noticed a familiar figure. There was an Asian girl against the wall. A tall toned figure was up against her. He looked as if he was giving her hickey. Then she was whimpering and soon it turned into screaming. He covered her mouth. I covered my mouth as I came to realize who it was....Ethan. She struggled to get away but he kept her pinned. I wanted to do something but it was like my body was frozen. I soon heard her neck snap. Her lifeless body falling to the ground. Tears flowed down my eyes and a gasp escaped from my lips. He turned his head sharply towards me. I ran. Adrenaline pumping through me. I knew I was fast but not fast enough. I hid like a coward. I stayed put behind a tree. I covered my mouth to hide my sobs. After a while I heard nothing. All of a sudden I heard him call out.
"Ana...where are you?" His voice sounded creepy.
"Come on...you know I don't want to hurt you. Why would I? We use to be together. Don't you trust me?" I closed my eyes.
"So now you're scared of me? Why because I killed that girl? I killed more. Not just her. There's been a lot. More than I can count. These girls mean nothing to me besides food. I take girls that no one will miss". I decided to run again. This time I hid behind a big boulder.
"Ana, come out come out...wherever you are. You can run but you can't hide. I can smell you, Ana". Suddenly I heard nothing. By accident I took one step and snapped a twig. Ethan suddenly bursted in front of me. I screamed. He grabbed me by the neck and pinned me against the boulder.
"Let me go!"
"No...I think I'm going to enjoy this". His eyes and face went black. "I'm not the same as I use to be. A pathetic weak, little human being. I was born to be this. A killer! No one is going to stop me. I'm gonna keep doing what I am doing. Then I'm gonna kill the whole werewolf pack and whoever gets in my way".
"Why kill them? Those girls didn't do anything to you".
"It wasn't just girls. I killed boys too".
"How many?"
"Too many to count".
I gasped as I suddenly realized he wasn't gonna be stopped. "Don't worry, Ana. I won't ever hurt you. You're my favorite. I always liked you".
I looked up and seen his face. It wasn't Ethan at all. It was the person who I thought had gone. Who had left this world.
"Liam?" He smirked.
"Took you long enough. My god".
"How?! Wheres Ethan?!"
"Gone. Dead. He's never coming back. I took over his body. The darkness inside was me. The venom was mine. Once he bit you it was like moving to a different body. He took a lot of blood which meant I was able to posses his body".
"This whole time it wasn't Ethan...".
"Nope"he said smiling. "But Ana now we can be together forever...all I have to do is one little thing".
He was getting closer to my neck. "Over my dead body! This ends now!"
I kicked him off of me.
He groaned in pain as his back hit against the tree. He then tried charging at me. I moved away. I turned around and pulled out the blade out of my side.
"That's cute you're gonna stick me with that toothpick?"
"It's not just that. It's made out of wolfsbane".
He then furrowed his brows and hissed his fangs me. Ethan then swung at me. I dodged and kicked him
In the stomach. I then uppercutted him. Blood came out of his mouth. He backed away and smirked. "You hit like a girl". He wiped the blood away from his mouth. Ethan clenched his fist. "Come on! Show me your power!" He yelled.
"You asked for it". I took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and let all the energy flow through me. I heard the clouds roll in and the wind starting to pick up. In my free hand I created a ball of energy and threw it at him. He immediately dodged it. I made others and threw it at him. He continued to dodged them. "Come on and fight!"
I ran up to him throwing punches and kicks. He did the same. I felt every hit but it didn't hurt as much. We threw punches fast you would have to watch the fight in slow motion to see everything. Ethan kicked the blade out of my hand. He grabbed me and threw me against the boulder. Pain shot up my back. I felt blood come up. I soon spit it out. He came closer to me. "So this is it? This is what you wanted? Take over Ethan's body and kill me".
"No, I wanted more than that. Make you believe it was Ethan the whole time. Believing he was alive in this body".
"I would have known sooner or later".
"Yeah but that one night. We were about to make love and then I would have had you right there. You wouldn't have been able to resist me because we would have been bonded. You can't break a bond that powerful".
The blade was right behind him. "Now I'll kill you. Make it seem that I was too late to save you. The werewolves got to you. Then Grayson will believe his brother. Take me in and from me being overwhelmed. I'll lose control and destroy them all like I was planning on". As soon as he came closer I tripped him with my legs. I then got on top of him and started beating him over and over again. Until I couldn't recognize him anymore. I grabbed the knife. I was about to stab him. End him once and for all. But I didn't because somewhere inside was Ethan. I needed to save Ethan from this monster. I put the blade in my back pocket. He was unconscious. I carried him back to my car and drove back to my place. I placed him in the basement. I grabbed chains made out of wolfsbane. I wrapped it around him tight. There was no way he was gonna get out. I called Grayson and told him everything. He rushed here with Cam and Jasmine.
"He's a freaking monster!" Yelled Cam.
"We need to end him!" Yelled Jasmine.
"No! Ethan is still in there somewhere. I can feel it".
"Ana, you feel it because his soul is in you" said Jasmine.
"He's gone" Cam said with tears coming down her cheeks.
"Ana is right! I'm not killing my brother. I was the one who turned him. I'm not gonna give up on him. Neither should you guys" said Grayson. I walked downstairs to the basement. He still was unconscious.
"Ana what are you doing?!" Said Jasmine. I walked up to him. "There's a way to see if he's still in there. It's gonna be very painful for him".
"How?" Said Cam.
"She has to put her hand inside his chest. She will see if Ethan is in there" said Jasmine. I was in front of Ethan. He woke up and smirked at me. "Looks like the Scooby gang is all here. There's no way to save him. He's gone". He started laughing. I then shoved my hand in his chest. Ethan then screamed. I never heard him screamed this way before. I wanted to pull my hand out but I knew I couldn't. I closed my eyes. I seen nothing but darkness. It was like vines of darkness. Suddenly I seen a small light. I looked closer. There he was. All tangled in the black darkness of vines. I tried to yell to him. But nothing. I then pulled out of Ethan. I looked at my hand. It had some black blood on it. I looked at Ethan who was smiling evilly. I then back handed him making him spit out more black blood. I was confused. Grayson pulled me out.
"Ana, what did you see?"
"Well I did see Ethan but he wasn't responding. He's trapped in there. I don't know what to do anymore". I then washed my hands. Jasmine and Cam soon joined us.
"The only thing I know is that it has to be transferred and then the person who gets it transferred to has to be killed" said Jasmine.
I suddenly had a crazy idea. "Me.
Transfer it to me".
"Anastasia! Are you crazy?!" I heard my mothers voice. I gasped. My father was right behind her.
"I-I".
"Not another word Ana" my father said as he walked up to me.
"I just got you back and now you want to leave?
Ana I understand you love him but...there has to be another way".
I shook my head. I knew there wasn't another way. I sighed and sat at the couch.

The rest of the day we tried to figure it out but so far there was nothing. Soon everyone left. Jasmine went to Grayson's for a bit. I was alone in the house with Ethan. I was already in my pajamas. I sat there thinking. Then I had an idea no one is gonna like it but I didn't care. I was gonna save Ethan. Kill Malik and Liam. I went down to the basement. Ethan looked up at me. "Well hello there beautiful".
I then turned around and shut the door and locked it.

"What are you doing?" He said. I didn't say anything. I then went and straddled him. I then put my arms behind his neck. "I just need you, Liam". I had placed a knife behind me in my bra. "Why?"
"I have to learn to love you if were gonna be together, forever. Right now I need you". I grinned my hips against his. He let out a small moan. I knew it wasn't Ethan but I had to do this. I took off my shirt. He gasped. "You're so beautiful. Let me out of these chains. I want to touch you everywhere". I then kissed him on his lips. Completely making out with him. His tongue invading my mouth. I then pulled back his eyes pure black full of lust. " I want to taste you! Ana you smell so good". I pulled his neck back. "Me first". I quickly grabbed the knife from behind me and tilted his head to the side. He yelled "No!"
I sliced the side of his neck. Black ooze came from it. I didn't think about it. I just drank. I drank him until he was dry. Until I seen regular blood. I felt I drank a gallon of blood.

I got off of him. There he lied unconscious again. The blackness leaving him. I went upstairs and got changed. Tonight everything was gonna end.
