My first assignment
I rummaged through my closet grabbing jeans, jackets, and as many shirts as I could find. I gabbed my laptop and ran to my bathroom, tears soaked my cheeks.
"Charlotte Elaine Hathaway! Come down here now" My mother screamed up the stairs.
"She's 5 foot 4 inches, she has very long blonde hair and green eyes, she's wearing a black leather jacket and black leggings," my step dad told the police over the phone.
It took my about .5 seconds to get down the stairs. I could smell the anger and fear in my balding step dad who I have always hated. I stood in front of him with my fangs out. He snapped his head backward and my mom held his arm.
"How dare you?" He growled at me.
"You will not remember me coming home today, you will tell the police I went to live with my dad. You will be sad that I left." I compelled him.
"You will no longer think of me, when Willow and Jacob talk about me you tell them I found my father and went to live with him. You do not remember seeing me today." I choked up looking into my mother's similar green eyes, she was so beautiful but warn down.
It took me seconds to run out of the house and into Vic's car. I looked at him and frowned.
"What? Leaving mommy and daddy wasn't as easy as you thought it would be?" Vic asked.
"Gary is not my dad, but yes it was difficult" I groaned.
"Next stop Camilla's home" Vick thrust the stick shift went east.
I looked at him and saw nothing, he held his emotions in so well, his dark brown hair fell to just above his ears and he was barely 18. But now he will be 18 forever.
"Why are we getting the old pack together?" I asked Vic
"Klaus is missing, I haven't heard from him in weeks" Vic snarled.
"What?"
"Camilla is waiting and once we get her we will be going to Mystic Falls"
'Mystic Falls what is that?"
"Roderick, Veronica and Beck were with him there earlier to get that thing that he needed and Roderick hasn't texted me in a week and I haven't even felt Klaus' presence in so long, have you?" he asked me, his deep brown eyes peered into my pale green ones.
"No" admitting I hadn't felt it. Admittedly I loved not feeling that evil hybrid.
…
I sat back in my seat listening to the quiet song on the radio. Back before Klaus had come into my life I was normal. I didn't even know I was a werewolf; you had to kill someone to awaken the curse.
I was walking home from school, Willow and Jacob both played basketball after school in the fall so I walked alone. I didn't even hear him but there he was in front of me suddenly. His blonde hair was wet from the light rain and heavy fog. He had the lightest blue eyes.
"Hello Charlie" He smiled crookedly
"Ho- How do you know my name?" I choked.
"Sweetheart that doesn't matter does it?" He asked mesmerizing me, well compelling me actually which I now know.
"You will follow me," He ordered
I stumbled like an idiot following him. He lead me through the woods up a muddy hill, I ruined my favorite jeans. On top of the hill was a small girl from my history class. She was the happiest person I'd ever met but in front of me she was shaking. Her jacket was torn and she was covered in mud. Her long black hair was flung all over her face clinging to tears. She has pieces of cloth wrapped around her mouth.
"Jessica!" I screamed running to her side.
"Oh no you don't" Klaus grabbed me.
I kicked at him but soon realized it was pointless. He threw me to the ground and I realized I was crying.
"Oh don't cry" He cradled me in his arms for just a moment.
"Get up!" he ordered.
"Why?" I stood.
"Do not ask questions, I want you to take this knife and kill her," He ordered me.
I grabbed the small silver knife and walked up to my fellow classmate. She shook even harder.
"Charlie p-please just let me go," She blurted as I ripped out the cloth.
"I wish I could," I cried back.
"Now!" He ordered again.
I stuck the knife where her heart was and she let out one last scream. She looked at me as one last teardrop fell from her left eye.
I clutched onto her and cried. "I'm so sorry" I whispered.
"Why did you do this?" I barked at Klaus in anger
"I need you, not now, not today, maybe not even for months to come but someday I will need you and you will die for me"
"The hell I will" I shrugged.
"You will because I will command you to"
His eyes turned black and blood shot; the veins around them popped and turned a purple black color. He opened his mouth and bared his long fangs. I stood frozen unable to move. He bit his wrist spilling blood. He stuffed his wrist into my mouth and the warm blood ran down my throat. I drank for a few moments and then he tore his arm away.
"What are you doing" I spit some of the blood on the ground and tried to wipe it off my mouth.
"I'm giving you a gift!" He growled and snapped my neck, things went black for a while.
When I woke up he took a flask out of his pocket and put even more blood in my mouth and I unwillingly drank the blood. I felt stronger instantly, I felt powerful. The strength in me intensified. I wanted more blood.
"That's enough" Klaus pushed me away.
"What am I?" I licked the blood off of my fingers.
"You are a hybrid, you're father Zane was a werewolf, before he died, and that would not awaken in you until you killed someone which is unfortunate for miss Jessica but very fortunate for you don't you think?" He smiled "Anyway I gave you my blood and the doppelgangers so you are officially a vampire and a werewolf" He walked over to me and grabbed me by my jaw.
"You will stay here until I need you, live a normal life, do not tell anyone, I will send 3 more your way they will be your pack, hunt from them and learn from them" He was gone in an instant.
…
I woke up in Vic's car to see we were at Camilla's house. She walked outside in her normal attire, a dress. This one was a high low dress with deep purple flowers that looked beautiful with her caramel skin. Her short mocha afro was tied up with a purple headband.
"Well how unexpected" she giggled.
We were all only 17 years old so we all looked fairly old. I always groaned when I thought about how I would look young forever.
"Klaus is missing" Vic blurted once we were back on the road.
"Are you sure?" Camilla snapped back.
"Yes"
"I knew it! I hadn't felt him in so long I knew he was gone" She smiled.
"We need to be sure so we are going to Mystic Falls to find out" I added
"Hey sugar! You look so cute! Why is your make up all smeared though?" She was back to her cheerful self.
"Leaving this shit town was harder then I thought it would be" I teared up.
"It'll be fine baby" she rubbed my arm.
We stayed dead silent for the rest of the ride, no heartbeats, and no breathing just dead silence. Once we arrived in Mystic Falls Vic parked next to a large fountain in the town square.
"I'm going to find the doppelganger, Camilla you go to the realtor, get us a house we may be here for a while. Charlie you go around town and listen in on people, see if they say anything about a stranger or any resent murders." He ordered.
"I will text you both our new address" she smiled and stalked off.
Several people walked around the square with shopping bags. I decided to follow two girls, one was vampire and one was a human. The vampire had medium length blonde hair similar to the color of mine. The human had caramel skin like Camilla's and curly dark brown hair.
"Bonnie Elena is in a predicament, she doesn't know if she wants to feed or die," the blond girl choked up.
"What?" Bonnie blurted coming to a stop.
"You can't get mad at her it is her decision" The girl snapped back.
"Caroline I'm not mad I'm just" she began walking again and turned to her "I'm upset that she is someone she never wanted to be" Bonnie began to cry.
They began pacing and so did I toward a huge mansion. Once they got there a tall very cute guy answered the door. His dark hair was shaggy but slick, he had these silver blue eyes and a strong jaw line. He was wearing a maroon shirt and jeans, his leather jacket was the same color as his hair.
"Damon how is she?" Caroline asked.
"She's just dandy" He said sarcastically.
"How do you think she is? She's freakin' pissed" He became serious immediately.
"I meant has she fed?" Bonnie stepped forward.
"No, come in we'll discuss it inside I have this strange feeling we're being watched" He said sarcastically and looked directly at me, I crouched even further down in the bushes and he just smiled.
"Damit!" I cursed and got back up.
"Spying isn't very nice," He said.
"I uhm I am sorry I was just on my way" I turned around I hadn't noticed that he was in front of my when I cursed.
"Who are you and why are you here?" He growled at me grabbing my shoulder.
"None of your business" I said, my werewolf eyes were showing I could feel the golden color burn through my normally pale green iris'.
"So you're looking for Tyler or Klaus?" he snorted letting me go.
"Klaus actually, not that I want to see him I just need to know if he's alive or not" I smoothed out my jacket and brushed off the greenery that had fallen on it.
"Well he's dead" He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his feet.
"Are you sure?" I couldn't help but smile a little.
"You don't seem so sad"
"I'm not"
"Well then leave" he shooed me off.
"Trust me I was on my way before you stopped me, oh and tell your friend Elena to feed, my best friend was turned by Klaus and decided not to feed, tell her it will change those who love her forever and they will no longer feel love only hatred" I remembered Dalias face when Klaus told her to feed by the next night or she would die, I held her in my arms the whole day until she took her last breathe, she didn't want to be supernatural she wanted to be a normal teenager. I shivered from that memory and began to walk away.
"Or you could tell her, she's not listening to any of us" He half smiled.
"Oh, okay" I walked into the giant home and saw Bonnie and Caroline sitting by a fire in the living room.
I walked up stairs with Damon and into a room where a beautiful girl sat on the bed while another guy held her hand. The girl had extremely long brown hair, a few inches longer then mine actually, and brown eyes, her high cheek bones complimented her slightly tanned skin. The guy had tossled brown hair and a very strong jaw line, he also had incredible cheek bones.
"Who is she Damon?" the guy stood up in a second. Vampire.
"She is here Stefan to help Elena, and her name is" He stopped and looked at me.
"I'm Charlie" I held out my hand to Stefan.
"Really Damon? You didn't even know her name" Stefan looked disgusted with him.
"It's fine just let her in" Elena muttered.
I walked to her and sat on the bed and shooed the boys out. They left and stood in the hall fighting. Elena looked at me like I was an alien.
"So I have a short story to tell you and it will take about five minutes of your time and will hopefully change your opinion on this whole feed or don't feed dilemma" I sat back a little further and got comfortable.
"I was turned about two months ago by a terrible man named Klaus"
She shuttered at the sound of his name but kept listening.
"I kind of denied it for a month and I fed on deer and other small game, but then he came back to check on us a month ago and when he came back he saw that I wasn't feeding on humans, this made him mad he said I reminded him of a weak man he dealt with recently, he said if he could fix him, he could fix me." I paused as a tear fell from my right eye.
"He told me to meet him in the forest at midnight and he had a surprise for me so I did, I walked there to enjoy what I thought was my last day on earth, I figured if I didn't listen to him and eat humans he was going to kill me and when I got to the spot where I was turned he had my best friend and another woman who I recognized as my Spanish teacher. Dalia was sitting in one chair gagged and bound and my teacher was in the other." I paused again to wipe the tears.
"He untied my teacher and told me I had to drain her or he would turn my best friend, I begged him not to I told him I would do anything he wanted but feed on humans and he ripped out my teachers throat and drank until she was dead. He then looked at my crying screaming best friend and smiled. I don't like to remember what she looked like that moment but I never forget, he deep red hair was in a bun like she always wore it, on top of her head, and her blue eyes were blood shot from crying, she was covered in mud and leaves and just dirty everywhere. He fed her his blood and told her to feed before the next night or she would die and snapped her neck, he ran away and left me with her. I picked her up and ran at vampire speed to her house, we were there in seconds and I had no trouble getting in because I was just there the other day. I jumped in her window with her and put her in the shower, I cleaned her up and put her in her nightgown, when she woke up she told me she didn't want to be like him and wanted to die." I wiped more tears and looked at Elena who was also crying.
"I laid in her bed until she died, we locked the door and window and just talked about our favorite moments together and how much fun we used to have and then she just took her last breathe and told me she loved me and that this was not my fault, I feel anger and hatred, since she died I feel no love all I do is miss her and wish she was here. I haven't drank blood since I was made and I don't ever plan on it, Dalia didn't die for nothing. What I am trying to tell you is if you choose not to feed you will leave all of these people here hollow. Turning off our humanity is easy feeling the pain is not but I refuse to feel nothing. I refuse to be like Klaus." I got up and started to leave and she grabbed my wrist.
"I'll do it" she half smiled.
