"Hey, Ethan! It's Sarah and Olivia!" Sarah called, knocking on Ethan's door. "I bet you that car is Ethan's and he's gonna ask if he can drive with you and then I'll be stuck alone with Benny." Olivia complained.
"Once Ethan and I drive off, you walk away before anything else happens - he may not even be there!"
Olivia looked at her as if she was stupid. "Okay, fine, he's bound to be there."

"Hey, just the girl I need to help get my license ... if time ... permits." He joked, holding up his permit.
"Congrats! I was wondering who's clunker that was outside." Sarah laughed, pointing to the dirty, red car.
"Er... that's not my car."
"It's a little dirty, it doesn't matter." Olivia said.
"I'm not... that's not my car." Ethan said again.
"You gonna take me for a ride?" Sarah asked.
Olivia grinned at the expression on Ethan's face; he definitely liked her.
"Uhhh..."
Sarah laughed and took hold of his arm.

Olivia watched the two walk away and smiled. "One day they'll go on a date, we all know it." She whispered to herself.

"Ethannnnn, you still-?"
Olivia spun around to see Benny. "There... hey, Olivia."
She flashed a smile. "Er, hey."
The two stood there for a moment in awkward silence.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine." She responded, not asking how he was doing. "Well, er, I should go. I have a lot of-"
Benny took hold of Olivia's arm and pulled her into Ethan's house. "No, stay."
"This is Ethan's house, Benny."
"I know, but it's practically mine too." He grinned.
Olivia raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, fine. Take me to my house vampire speed!"
"I swear you literally live next door."
He shrugged. "I do, but what's the point in walking when you can go there at vampire speed?"
Olivia laughed and took hold of his hand and they were outside of Benny's house within no time. Olivia let go of Benny's hand and looked at the door, then to him. "Aren't you gonna invite me in?"
"Of course! I totally forgot that vampires need to be invited into a house. Come in."

Olivia knew she shouldn't be here right now but Benny seemed pretty intent on hanging out with her, and she still liked him so why not?

"What do you wanna do, since we're definitely not together." Benny grinned a toothy grin.
"Right... erm, I don't know. What have you got in mind?"
Benny's grin was still on his face when he pulled out the Love Actually DVD.
Olivia laughed, rolling her eyes a little. "You hate that film."
"I know. But if there's one way to get your girl's heart back it's through her favourite film."
"Benny, you know that I'm no good for you, we talked about this." Olivia said, seriously.
"Oh come on, Olivia! I know you still like me and I still like you! What're you waiting for? Who cares that you're a vampire? I certainly don't!" Benny argued.
"I do! Do you want to know the real reason why we can't be together?"
Benny looked at Olivia, urging for her to go on. "I'm not scared that I'll bite you - you sure smell good but I'd never bite you! Of course, I'm still an evil blood-sucking monster thanks to Jesse but the truth is, I'm going to be 17 forever! You're going to grow up, have kids and have a life without me. You'll forget about me and I'll be stuck in school." Olivia said, truthfully.
Benny shook his head and put the DVD down. "No, no, no. Don't think like that. You can't think like that because we're gonna find a cure. Either that, or I let you bite me - I'm willing to do anything to stay with you!" Benny smiled, putting his hands on her shoulders.
"What, so you wouldn't care if your girlfriend looked like this every once in a while?" Olivia hissed at Benny, showing him her sharp fangs and her eyes went bright blue. Benny jumped back in surprise and Olivia laughed.
"I'll get used to it." Benny replied, trying to smile.
Olivia paused for a moment before sighing. "Okay, fine. We watch a film but this doesn't mean we're back together."
Benny's smile dropped. "What do you mean?"
"Take me on a date - we haven't had a real one yet."
He cocked an eyebrow. "Like, going to a restaurant and stuff?"
Olivia nodded and folded her arms. "No video games, no films, no Ethan, no Sarah, no Rory and no Erica."
"That's gonna be hard when you're living in WhiteChapel." Benny joked. "But I'll do anything to get you back."
Olivia looked at the time on her phone. "Can we still watch Love Actually?"
Benny groaned. Olivia hissed at him.
"Okay, fine! Yeah, totally fine! You know what, you sit there whilst I get all of the food and drinks!" Benny said, slight frightened.
Olivia laughed and plopped down onto Benny's couch. "Now that's what you call a gentlemen."

The girls were laughing at everyone moving out of the way once Ethan walked down the hallways, making car jokes.
"Nice, get another reason for girls to avoid you." Erica said.
"Sorry about yesterday." Ethan said to Sarah.
"Relax, everyone has accidents, that's why there's insurance."
"But it wasn't me it was the car; it's possessed or something." He replied.
Olivia scoffed. "A ghost car?"
"Vrooooom!" Erica teased, walking away with Olivia and Sarah.
"So, what actually happened with Ethan?" Olivia asked Sarah.
"He hit Malcolm... it wasn't great." Sarah chuckled. "What happened with Benny?"
"Oh, nothing really." Olivia said, casually.
The girls looked at Olivia. "What?" She asked.
"Okay fine, we watched a film and made a deal."
"What's the deal?" Erica grinned.
"Well, we both still like each-other, so we're going on a date and depending how well it goes - we may get together again."
Erica raised an eyebrow. "You're actually giving that geek another shot?"
"I think that's cute, let me guess though, you were the one who came up with the date idea?" Sarah asked. Olivia laughed and nodded.

***

"Wow, looking good." Sarah said to Ethan, looking at his car.
"Smelling good too." Erica answered.
"I smell blood." Olivia sniffed.
"Me too." Rory added. "Dibs!" He lifted up the front of the car and looked at it. "Cool! Free lucky squirrel tail!"
"Ew." Olivia said.
"Malcolm did say there was a squirrels nest in there." Ethan exclaimed.
"Um..." Benny began, taking out something covered in blood. "This engine is filled with blood I didn't see that one coming."
"Blood? Like, squirrel blood?"
Olivia licked her lips. "Human blood."
"With a hint of squirrel." Rory added.
"A possessed car that runs on blood?" Ethan asked. "That's it! I'm pulling the plug right now!" He reached for the plug but got shocked. Ethan immediately jumped back and shut it.
"I think this car's possessed by a vampire! It just bit me!"
"Oh, so you're hungry, jalope face?! Well how about a knuckle sandwich?!" Rory yelled, punching the car.
The car then regenerated.
"It feeds like a vampire and regenerates like a vampire?!" Olivia asked.
"Then we'll just tell everyone it's a vampire car, you won't get blamed for anything! By reason of insanity!" Benny said, sarcastically.
"I'm not worried about me anymore, we have to stop this car before it hurts anyone else." Ethan said.
The bell then rang. "Chemistry, now. Come on, you don't both prison and detention." Benny said to Ethan.

"Olivia," Benny whispered. "I found a place for our date."
"Really?" She asked.
Benny nodded. "It's a place in the centre of town. I may have got Sarah to help me out - it's a really nice place, you'll love it!"
Olivia raised an eyebrow and Benny nodded again. "I'm being serious."
"When is it?"
"Tomorrow night."
Olivia smirked. "Cool."

"That car has been quiet for years." Ethan suddenly whispered over to the two. "What's making it all road-ragey now?"
"I bet it's ghost-free warrantee expired." Benny joked.
"Maybe my physic energy gave it a jump start, then it had that squirrel nest for breakfast."
"Okay, so we do we stop a vampire possessed car?" Olivia asked.
"Cut off its headlights? Cover it in garlic?" Benny suggested.
"It's a car, Benny, not a pizza!" Ethan hissed.
"Fine, so we cover it in hot cheese first and then-"
"No! The car isn't the problem, the vampire possessing it is." Ethan said.
"You think you've got a spell to cast him out?"
"Is my name Benny the magic man menastopholis?" Benny smirked.
"No..." Olivia and Ethan replied.
"Well, it will be... someday."

The bell then rang. "Okay, let's go depict a ghost." Ethan said, getting up.
"Woah, maybe you should stay here, everyone still thinks you're hurting people with that car." Benny said.
"True. If it runs you over next, I shouldn't be anywhere near it."
"Exactly... wait what?!"
"You can do it, Benny." Olivia said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
Benny felt butterflies and eagerly nodded, getting up.
"I'll go with him." Olivia said to Ethan. By the time she looked around Benny was already gone. "Works every time."
Ethan laughed.

***

"Erm, what are you doing?" Olivia asked Rory and Erica.
"Nothing..."
Sarah then came up behind them.
"We're gonna get Ethan out of trouble by stealing his car!" Rory exclaimed.
Benny titled his head, staring at them.
"It makes sense when Erica says it."
"We were just trying to help out and um, yeah it was all Rory's idea!" Erica said, trying to save herself.
"Rory had an idea?" Olivia laughed.
"Why not blame space aliens, that's more believable." Sarah said.
"I knew it! Stupid space aliens."
"Sorry, vamps, this bloodbank's about to get closed, alright?" Benny said, opened his book. "Permar, cavnar, Benny, notrath, keventomoturos, abnar, Benny, notrath!" He snapped his fingers and glitter appeared, he sprinkled it over the car.
Olivia sighed. "Oh, how I miss being a witch."
Benny turned to Ethan, who was looking through the window, and put his thumbs up.
The car then started and drove off.
"No! Stay! Nice evil car, nice evil car!"
"Stop!" Olivia yelled.
"Nice one, Mr. Wizard." Erica retorted, once the car had driven off on its own.
"So now it's mad, evil and hungry!" Sarah shouted.

***

Later that night, Olivia, Benny and Erica were in position, ready to flatten the evil car's tires.
They ran out of the way as the car drove over the the rakes. The car stopped and Ethan jumped out of it.
"Ha! Fooled ya! It's me, Rory! Not Richard Bruner, grandson of Manfred Bruner!"
"Let's see how scary this klunker is with four flat tires."
The tires then seemed to regenerate and the engine started up.
"It's still after his Bruner blood! Olivia, you take it!" Rory yelled, throwing Olivia the blood.
"What?! No!" She threw it to Erica.
"If I can't drink it, I don't want it!" Erica said, throwing it to Benny.
"Come on, guys. I'm the only one who can't outrun a car! Here you go!" Benny said, passing it to Sarah.
"Let me take!" Ethan said, jumping in and taking it. "I've got an idea. Just give me a head start, okay?"
"Ethan, no!" Sarah shouted.
Ethan ignored her and off, the car began to follow him but the four vampires stepped in front of it and used their strength to hold it back.
"Just let it go, trust me!" Ethan called.
"Do what he says, it's his I've got a plan voice!" Benny yelled.
The vampires moved out of the way just in time, since Olivia was in the middle, she had to jump just a little so she didn't get run over, but she fell right into Benny. "Sorry." She said.
He chuckled. "It's okay, I don't mind at all."
When Olivia looked back over, the car was turned over and Ethan looked exhausted. "Ethan!" Sarah called.
"End of the road, carnivore!" Ethan said, stabbing it with a large wooden plank.
"Here, allow me," Sarah said, taking the plank. "this blood drive's over!"
"Thanks, you didn't have to warm up my victory line though." Ethan then turned to Rory. "Bottoms up, you deserve it."
"Hey, I came all this way, you could at least pay for dinner!" Erica yelled.
"Uh, excuse me? I want it!" Olivia shouted.
"Hey, that's my rich guy blood!"
The three began to fight over the blood.
"I got this, sominom, viscathar, arba, samnar!" Benny yelled, touching Rory and Erica, sending them to sleep.
"Sleep tight, fangy friends." Benny laughed.
"Uh, Benny, you didn't knock me out?"
"Yeah, I, uh, didn't wanna knock you out - you take the blood." He gave it to Olivia, who smiled and took it.
"Wait, this means we're stuck cleaning things up, doesn't it?" Benny asked the three who were still conscious.
"Yep, just you, me-"
"Sominom, viscathar, arba, samnar!" Benny yelled quickly, touching himself and Olivia with his finger, sending them both asleep.
"Aw, that's cute how he sent her to sleep too." Sarah laughed.
"Well, I guess I got us into this mess, I guess I'll clean it up." Ethan sighed.
"Or leave it for them when they get up." Sarah grinned, holding out her hand. "Come on, I'll give you a ride home." Ethan took her hand and they whizzed off within seconds.

Five minutes later, the four woke up, groaning.
"I can't believe they'd leave us hear to clean up his mess!" Benny said.
"I can't believe you think I'm staying." Erica smiled, running off.
Olivia laughed. "Me too, see you."
Rory and Benny got up. "Rory, this is a big clean up job, alright? It requires skill, character, now I may be taking a big risk here but, I'm putting you in charge." Benny said to Rory.
"I won't let you down, Benny!" Rory exclaimed.
"Thanks." Benny smiled, walking off.

"Squirrel!" Rory yelled, running off.
