As everyone summoned up for lunch, they were surprised to see that the dining table was ready.
"What? Who did this". Asher said. "Rosie?". He turned to look at her.
"I didn't". Rosie shook her head.
"I thought I can do it". Ethan came in.
William turned back. "Ethan! You shouldn't have done this".
"Why?". Ethan raised his eyebrows. "I felt pleasure.. years ago, I used to do this with my sisters.. one of my favorite thing". He said.
"Thanks for this favor Ethan". Ryan appreciated.
"Welcome Ryan". Ethan smiled.
"Let's start then". Asher said.
Ethan turned to go as everyone sat on the table.
"Ethan! Please join us". William offered.
"It's useless William. I'll wait for my buddies outside". Ethan shook his head and went out.
"Why is he so different?". William said.
"And what do you mean by that?". Asher asked. He seemed to be annoyed by talking about Ethan again and again.
"He's not like Jaxon, Josiah and Henry. I feel like if he is ruined and hurt". William replied.
"Ruined by what?". Ryan enquired.
"I don't know". William shook his head.
"He is ashamed of killing his so called mother. His real Dad too wasn't good at him. He disowned him just because he was expelled from the college". Rosie said.
"How do YOU know all this?". Michael asked.
"He told me when you were taking a shower". Rosie replied.
"So he's sad because he's badly hurt". William raised his eyebrows. "I feel sorry for him".
"Well, he's humble and when he speaks, his voice is not at all loud". Ryan sighed.
"It is always the character traits that makes you distinct from everyone else". Rosie said.
"No doubt". Michael nodded.
Asher frowned at Rosie and looked down at his plate.
After the lunch was finished, Jaxon, Josiah, Henry and Ethan came in the house.
"So, let's go out". Henry said excitingly.
"Really? Isn't it dangerous for Ethan?". Ryan asked.
"No". Jaxon shook his head. "I mean he'll be disguised. I had sent Ray to buy some clothes for him from the mall. It took time".
"Alright". Michael nodded. "Why Ray?".
"I transformed him into a Vampire". Ethan replied. "He's the part of us now".
"okay". Michael said.
"Here Ethan. Go get changed". Henry passed the shopping bag to Ethan.
"Upstairs". Ryan grinned.
"Thank you". Ethan smiled back and went upstairs.
Everyone was now ready and waiting for Ethan. He still wasn't out of the bathroom.
"What are you doing Pal?". Jaxon banged on the bathroom door.
"Just a minute". Ethan said form inside.
"You have been saying this for about an hour now". Jaxon was annoyed of waiting. "I've already waited 75 years for you. No more waiting now please".
"Shut up Jax". Ethan said and finally opened the door. He wore a black t shirt, black jeans, black hoodie and a black face mask.
"See, I knew Ray would find something useful". Jaxon smiled. He hugged his friend and pecked on his cheek.
"Even though you're disguised, you still look handsome".
"Aww! thank you". Ethan said like a girl and pulled Jaxon's cheeks.
"C'mon let's go now. Everyone's waiting for you downstairs". Jaxon grabbed his hand and led him downstairs.
"Des-pa-cito". Michael was singing Spanish songs with all the lyrics upsidedown.
"Stop it Michael!". Rosie was annoyed by Michael's ridiculous songs.
"What happened Rosie?". Michael asked innocently.
"You are annoying me". Rosie rubbed her forehead.
"Sorry". Michael said.
Rosie noticed his sadness. "Look, I didn't meant to hurt you Michael. I'm just tired of sitting here and waiting for Ethan to come downstairs. That's all". She tried to console him.
"It's okay". Michael grinned.
Asher chuckled at the conversation and chewed a bubblegum.
Josiah and Henry were sitting there too. They smiled at Michael.
Finally, Ethan came downstairs.
"Kay guys let's go". Jaxon said.
Everyone turned to look at them. They looked at Ethan who was now disguised.
"And now he is looking like Alan Walker!". Michael exclaimed.
"What?". Josiah giggled.
"Correct me if I'm wrong". Michael shrugged.
"No you're not at all wrong Michael". Jaxon smiled.
"Stop complimenting guys okay? I'm not Alan Walker, I'm not Maxence.. whoever he was. I'm Ethan Wells". Ethan said.
"Yeah Yeah.. Ethan Wells, the heart-throbbing, handsome, attitude boy of our college". Josiah chuckled.
Ethan laughed softly and nodded. "Please don't revive those days". He said.
"Hmm". Josiah nodded. "Please don't revive the days when I used to be the college crush of every single girl".
"Shut up okay?". Ethan said. "We're getting late".
"We will, but we have to disguise ourselves as well, you know, we can't risk their lives because of us".Jaxon gestured at the group.
"Sure". Ethan said. "With what?".
"Just a face mask and a hoodie". Josiah added.
Jaxon, Josiah and Henry pulled the caps of the hoodies on their head and wore the facemasks they took out of their pockets.
"All done, let's go". Henry said.
"You remember that litte bread shop from 1916? The old guy who used to bake bread and sell it?". Jaxon asked Ethan as the group walked towards a big, bakery.
"Yeah! how can I forget that old man? I loved his bread". Ethan replied.
Jaxon stopped outside the bakery. "His small shop has revolutionized into this bakery". He smiled.
"What?". Ethan was surprised. He looked at the bakery.
"You used to come here to eat the bread?". William asked.
"Yeah". Ethan nodded. "Even though it never filled up my stomach".
"Wow!". Michael exclaimed.
"I don't understand.. why is everything WOW about me?". Ethan chuckled. "Let's go inside.. I wanna taste that bread again".
The group went inside and asked the baker to pack some bread for Ethan. Asher and Rosie headed towards the live cakes and Ryan and Michael grabbed a smoothie.
William was standing sadly near the chocolate compartment.
"What happened William?". Ethan asked.
"My daughter loved chocolates". William replied. He was sobbing. Ethan was unable to bare this. He turned William towards him and gave him a big hug. "Look, I promise I'll get your daughter back William. Just give me sometime. Nothing can bring you satisfaction but she's alright with Ricardo and Katy. Actually Katy's_ my sister". Ethan rubbed his back.
"What?". William was surprised.
"Please don't tell anyone else. I never told this to anyone before. She's my sister and she used to love kids but didn't had her own. If lesser people will know that she's my sister, more easier it will become for me to kill her". Ethan said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?". William asked.
"She was the one who decieved me and I got drunk, killing my mother. I became emotional when I met her after 04 years but she wasn't good at all. We always thought that she died on her trip to Romania but she was there, with the Monsters". Ethan explained. "I just told this to you so that I can tell you that I can guarantee, YOUR DAUGHTER'S ALRIGHT".
William nodded. "Do Josiah and Jaxon know it?".
"Obviously they do. Please keep it a secret. Don't even tell it to your sister". Ethan pleaded.
"Don't worry.. you can trust me". William smiled.
"Thanks". Ethan grinned. "C'mon let's go". He looked at Asher and Rosie and gestured them to come.
The group decided to have a coffee at a coffee shop. Ethan brought his bread with him too.
Jaxon found a booth at the corner of the shop and they seated there so that no one sees Ethan when he pulls his mask down to eat or drink.
"04 hot chocolates and 05 hazelnut coffees". Jaxon told the waiter.
The waiter nodded and went away.
"Are you sure he's not a Monster?". Henry asked Jaxon about the waiter.
"Yes". Jaxon nodded.
Ethan was busy in unpacking the bread. He pulled his mask down and took a small bite of the bread. He chewed it twice with his eyes wide opened. What happened next was quite unexpected. He cried! He hugged Jaxon tightly and cried until the last tear of his had been absorbed by Jaxon's hoodie.
Jaxon patted on his back. "Good old days". He smiled and whispered in his ears.
Because she had a soft heart, Rosie started to weep as well. Jaxon looked at her and told Ethan to stop. "That's it Bro.. you made the kitty cry as well".
Ethan pulled himself together and brushed his tears away. "Sorry". He said in a low voice. For the rest of the time, Ethan kept quiet and ate the bread, sipping his hot chocolate.
"Let's play a game,truth or dare". Michael announced. "Ethan, let's start from you. Trust or Dare?".
"Truth". Ethan leaned back on the chair.
"Did you ever fell in love?". Michael asked bluntly.
Ethan's eyes were wide opened. He swallowed and looked at Jaxon. Jaxon smiled with a shrug as he tapped his fingers on the table.
"Uh_". Ethan giggled. "Yes".
Everyone now looked at him surprisingly. "Yes?". Ryan repeated.
"Yes". Ethan nodded. "She was very beautiful, had a pretty smile, and long hairs which fascinated me".
"Oh! She might be dead by now.. MOST PROBABLY!". Michael chuckled.
"No no no!". Ethan shook his head. "She's not from 20th century Michael. I saw her a few days ago".
"Impressive". Asher raised his eyebrows.
Ethan ignored his gaze and smiled at Michael. "Please don't ask more about her".
"Yeah Sure". Michael nodded.
"Now let's move to Jax". Michael sighed. "Truth or Dare?".
"Umm_ Truth". Jaxon replied.
The group sat there talking for a while. Ethan was continuously exchanging gazes with Rosie. She felt a bit shy so decided to head towards the toilets.
"Are you okay?". Asher was concerned so he came following her in the toilets.
"Yeah". Rosie forced a smile.
"I felt like if you were uneasy back there". Asher said.
"It's nothing Asher! You're too much concerned about me". Rosie giggled.
"No doubt ". Asher smiled. "Tell me what happened?".
"Nothing Asher! I was feeling suffocated ". Rosie replied.
"Wanna run away?". Asher asked with a smirk.
"What? No?". Rosie laughed, brushing off invisible dust from Asher's shoulders.
"You sure? We can have a lot of fun!". Asher smiled.
"I'm sure". Rosie said.
"Alright! let's go out then". Asher sighed. "After you". He offered Rosie to go first.
The group got back into the car.
"Seriously.. it feels so good to be alive again". Ethan looked out of the window.
"Aww". Josiah said. "My bunny".
Ethan smiled at the comment.
Henry spotted something in the market. "Hey Jax!". He said. "Could you please pull over? I have something important to do".
"Like what?". Josiah asked.
"Buy shaving cream?". Jaxon smiled.
"You got it bro". Henry said.
"Let's go in together". Ethan looked at Jaxon.
"I'll stay in the car, you people better go". Jaxon parked the car near the grocery store. "But be careful".
"Sure". Ethan nodded and jumped out of the car with Henry. "Guys just wait". He yelled at William and Asher who were in the other car.
"Ok". William nodded confusingly.
Henry and Ethan went into the grocery store and walked in the aisles. They stopped in front of a double sided shelf were shaving cream was placed.
"Wow!". Ethan looked around.
"World has changed". Henry took a bottle of shaving cream and examined it.
"Yep". Ethan nodded. "You are quite capable.. thanks God you're with us".
Henry just smiled in reply. Ethan moved a bit away from Henry, picking up a shampoo.
"You were talking about Rosie, right?". Henry said. Ethan turned to look at him with amaze. "You knew it?".
"Yeah! Who doesn't?". Henry replied. "But it was just a game! you might have lied".
"I did". Ethan said. "If I had said her name, Asher would be at fire".
Henry chuckled. "You can't imagine how much Asher struggled to make her fall in love with him".
"Really?". Ethan was quite interested.
"Yep. Rosie used to ignore him at first but gradually, her attitude changed when she found out that Asher fought a werewolf to save her life, risking his own life".
"Oh". Ethan was a kind of jealoused now.
"What?". Henry asked as he found Ethan lost in thoughts.
"Nothing". Ethan shook his head. "You done?".
"No". Henry replied. "I fell in love with the brand which I bought last time, it's not here now".
"Maybe at the other side?". Ethan guessed.
"Let's have a look". Henry said and both of them moved towards the other side of the shelf. As thet took a turn, Ethan saw someone familiar. He told Henry to stop and hide behind the shelf.
"What is it?". Henry whispered.
"I know him". Ethan replied looking at the weird guy standing in the aisles. "He's Luke. He was the one who forced my sister to enter the monster world".
"So he's a monster?". Henry tried to confirm his confusions.
"Yeah". Ethan nodded. "And I'm gonna take revenge.. plus, I'll use him to tell me what's the best time to kill them altogether".
"So, what's in your mind?". Henry asked.
"Follow him till he's out of that police check post at the highway and then, kidnap him". Ethan replied.
"Alright". Henry said.
They waited for the guy named Luke to leave the grocery store. Jaxon and Josiah already knew everything so they followed the guy till the check post. Ethan and Henry bought the shaving cream and left the grocery store.
"Come on let's do it". Ethan was enraged. He ran at great speed and just in a few minutes, he caught Luke.
The group was instructed to go back home with a promise that the Vampires will arrive soon.
"What happened by the way?". Asher enquired about a sudden change in plans of A DAY OUT WITH ETHAN WELLS.
"Dunno". Ryan shook his head, pouring out a glass of water.
"They caught something important in that grocery store". William tried to make a guess.
"Well, it's possible". Michael nodded.
"Let's wait". Asher leaned back on the couch.
