Chapter 4

                                    

                                          
Ethan, Benny, Jane and I start running away from the house, Ethan and Benny glancing back. The delivery boy suddenly appears in front of us and hisses at us and we all jump, quickly grabbing Jane protectively. Sarah suddenly appears though and stabs him with something as he lets out a pained snarl while Ethan covers Jane's eyes. "Okay...She may be a lousy babysitter, but that was the bomb!" Benny exclaims pointing at her as Sarah looks up with a smile, her fangs sticking out.
                          
"And hot" I agree as Ethan sends me a look of disbelief while Benny nods in agreement. After getting Jane back inside and getting Benny's grandma to help her, we look around the house. "Good luck cleaning this up before your folks get home." Sarah says as Ethan looks around the foyer which looked like a disaster. "What, this? This is nothing..." Ethan waves it off.
                          
"It's amazing she can sleep now." Sarah motions to Jane who was passed out on the Couch while Benny's grandma tucks her in, placing her stuffed bunny beside her. "Yeah, Grandma's got the magic touch. When I was six and scared of robots, she-" "No one cares" "Fascinating!" Sarah and I say at the same time. "Look, if I can get to Jesse's before midnight, I can still save Erica" Sarah rushes out, walking towards the front door.
                          
"So, that pizza guy...he's dead, right?" Ethan brings up. "Not dead, no. Just in some kind of limbo for souls, but he won't be back here." She asures us as Benny smiles excitedly, holding up a slice of pizza. "Found a survivor." He smiles. "Okay, just stay inside where you're safe, okay?" She says, opening the door. "Say hi to Erica for me" Benny calls out as she shuts the door. "Dude!" Ethan says and Benny shrugs. "Worth a shot" I shrug. 
                          
Benny's phone starts going off and he starts looking through his pockets. "Hold my pizza" He hands his slice to Ethan as he digs out his phone. Ethan shrugs, eating the pizza as I roll my eyes in amusement at him. We notice it's Rory calling. "Oh, great" I mutter. "Should I even bother picking up?" Benny asks, looking between us. "Why not?" Ethan shrugs and Benny answers, putting it on speaker. 
                          
"Benny! Wazzup?!" Rory says into the phone and Ethan and I send each other a look. "Wazzuuuuahhh." Benny answers as I lead him away from the living room so he doesn't wake up Jane. "Wazzuuuup?" Rory repeats. "You guys are lame; that's what's up." Ethan tells them. "Seriously" I nod in agreement. "If I'm so lame, how am I chillaxin' at the most slamming party in town?" Rory says and Ethan, Benny and I give each other a look of disbelief.
                          
"Wait, did we miss another Mathletes event?" Ethan wonders and I shake my head. "You and your Mathletes" I scoff. "No, dude. A real party! At this huge mansion! And almost all the kids here are seniors, including the girls. Hey, beautiful. Like what you see?" "Rory, F.Y.I, that's not how you pick up girls" I tell him. "I don't see you with any" He scoffs. "He's got a point" Benny agrees and I punch him in the shoulder. "Ow!" He rubs his shoulder with a pout.
                          
"Guys, this party is off the hook!" Rory tells us. "How'd you get in?" Benny wonders in amusement. "These guys saw me at Gamer Town and asked me if I wanted to come. Oh, and Benny, your Dusker babe is here, and she is looking fine!" Rory exclaims and Benny's face lights up in excitement. "Check out the hot senior babe she's dancing with." Rory sends a pic and we all look, our eyes widening as we see no one in the picture but Erica.
                          
"Didn't Sarah say Erica was at a party with vampires?" I whisper to the other two. "Uh, Rory? These seniors...They're not from the drama club, are they?" Ethan asks nervously. "Yeah, some of them. Oh, and get this: There's going to be a buffet at midnight!" Rory says excitedly. "Rory, you need to listen, okay? We need you-" "Sorry, I gotta go. Conga line! Yeah!" Rory hangs up the phone and Ethan and I look at each other with wide eyes as Benny just whistles, shaking his head.
                          
He notices our looks and groans. "Oh, don't say it. Don't, 'cause if you say it, we'll have to go find that dufus, and I for one do not want to crash a vampire dinner party." Benny shakes his head. "Just come on. Rory's our friend." Ethan brings up. "Our very idiotic friend, but still our friend" I add. "Agh! Fine. I'll go. But I'm not walking." Benny tells us.
