I grin as I tie my black hair up into a messy bun on the top on my head and yell. "Hurry up Twin, it's senior prank night!" Where the hell is Tyler? If we don't get going soon we won't be able to set up the awesome pranks and Caroline will yell at us. I like Tyler's girlfriend but she can be bossy as hell.
"Coming! Wait up Twin!" I still laugh at how we have taken to calling each other "Twin" all the time. I guess it just kind of our thing. Tyler then swims round the corridor of our home (the Lockwood mansion) and grins back at me. "Let's go set up some pranks."
We get in car and squabble over who gets to drive like any siblings would. "Ty come on. You always get to drive." I whine at him.
"You know that's not true Vera." He huff before lunging forward and snatching the keys out of my hand with a smirk. As soon as he has the keys he runs to the drivers side and jumps in. Typical. I really do never get to drive. I have the worst twin in the world. "Get in Twin." He demands and I pout before sliding in myself. To make matters worse he has that stupid music he likes to listen to in the car. Huff.
"It's finally prank night." I hum happily at my twin.
"I know it feels as if we have been waiting for this for forever." Tyler agrees. "This is going to be some much fun."
"It's almost like its normal tonight." I say wistfully. Mystic falls is no normal town. Not with all the vampires and my friend always get stuck in the middle of it. Especially Elena. She just can't seem to shake the supernatural. Though me and Tyler rant normal either. That's an understatement. We are both werewolves. And it sucks. Neither of us has been one for long but I am very new to the whole thing. Considering I have only turned once.
Tyler looks at me knowing where my thoughts are. To the person I killed to trigger the curse. To my friend that I killed.
"Hay it wasn't your fault." He says but it was. Tyler was forced into triggering his curse. Some vampire bitch compelled a bunch of people to keep attacking him till he killed one of them. While I knew about the curse and still managed to kill someone.
-7 weeks ago-
"Vera!" CeeCee yells at me. "You bitch! How could you?!" My friend is so angry for no reason! It wasn't my fault! She should go yell at Tara for publicly embarrassing her too. I didn't even mean it!
"I'm sorry I didn't mean for this to happen!" I try to keep from yelling back at her. "This wasn't my fault. It was Tara's!"
How could she think I meant to hurt her? She's my friend! I go out shopping with this girl, I would never mean to embarrass her in this way.
"We know Tara's a bitch! But you!" CeeCee pushes me with five perfectly blue long nails. "It is your fault! Now my life will be a living hell all because of you!" She speaks so fast and reaches into the fountain behind us to splash me. How pathetic can she be! This is nothing! She doesn't deal with the supernatural!
"This is stupid!" I tell her and I move to leave when she tries to slap me. I slide back on instinct so she can't land the slap and her blue eyes gleam angrily.
"This is all your fault bitch!" She yells and stamps on my foot with her high heel. It doesn't hurt and she reminds me of a two year old throwing a tyrant rum. "I will never be able to live my life in the same way ever again!"
"Stop ever reacting!" I demand.
"No!" She goes to pull on my hair and I grab her hand. "Let go you bitch!" So I do. I thrust it out to the side with such force and she topples over on her ridiculously high shoes. It's not till I hear a thud that I relies she hit her head on the side of the fountain. Even then I don't panic I think she's just being dramatic not getting up.
Then I see the odd way her head is laying on her shoulder and how she is deathly still. Shit I knocked her out! I lean down to shake her but she flops about in my arms. Then I realise what's happened she is dead. I killed my friend! What kind of a person does that? True she was acting pathetic and she was attacking me but the girl didn't know how to fight! She couldn't land a punch for her life! Crap. CeeCee will never get to graduate or buy those new shoes coming out. It's my fault she will miss out on do much. My fault her family will miss her. Her friends wouldn't ever gossip with her again. I won't ever chat to my friend ever again because I killed her. These thoughts happen in a second.
Then a strange sensation comes over me I can feel my eyes glow. Really feel them light up and I growl as I feel my teeth change from the normal human ones they should be. I panic not knowing what is going on when it goes and I return to normal and I relies I just triggered the werewolf curse. I'm one too now. What am I going to do.
I do the only thing I could think of I call for help. When he picks up I hear "what's up Twin?"
"I think I just killed CeeCee." I cry and sink down against the fountain next to my dead friend. "Oh God, I killed someone. Oh God, I'm a werewolf know..." I really cry now letting the tears flow down my cheeks. I'm a killer.
"Shit!" Tyler exclaims. "Stay there Vera I'm coming."
"Where do you think I'm going to go?" I mumble "please hurry."
-prank night-
"It all happened so quickly." I tell him again.
He nods. "It'll be fine. We will be fine. We have each other." And we do, but neither of us know how to deal with the fact that we are now going to turn into a wolf every full moon. To be honest it scares the hell out of me and I think it does the same to Tyler.
"We're here." I change the subject and jump out the car. Caroline is waiting for us -well Tyler- and she rolls her eyes at us and taps her foot. What have we done now?
"You're ten minuets late." She huffs. "Come on you two this is meant to be a night we will never forget." Talk out being over dramatic it was only ten minuets. We can still have a great senior prank night. Plus it was Tyler's fault we are late. "Come mouse traps in the English class room?"
"Careful Vera you don't want to get caught in one." Tyler teases.
"Is this another joke on my height again? It's not my fault I'm small. Is probably yours." I rant. So I may be a bit short. I is only a tiny bit. "Yeh all your fault for making me a twin."
"Ah, you know we love your short ass really." Tyler goes to ruffle my hair and I duck out the way.
"Whatever let's do this Twin." I say and bound off overly hyper like normal. For a second I feel like I should, the little short girl with way to much energy and mucks about constantly. Then I remember I am in the middle of a friendship group with supernatural problems up to there ears, that I am now a werewolf, that I killed someone.
I killed a friend.
The first thing we do is set up traps in the classroom like Caroline suggested. Elena and Bonnie come to help us. I get my finger snapped on several times as I try to lay it all out. This will take us forever. But I love the basic fun to it. Caroline is right, normal experiences we can enjoy is exactly what we need right this moment with hell going on around us.
Just then some idiot walks in and sets off our trap before it was meant too. That took us forever. It turns out the idiot is Matt. Typical the only normal one if us is the one who leaves out all the normal experiences.
"Seriously!" Caroline exclaims. "That took us ages!"
"Come on Matt it's senior prank night." I whine. "Don't tell me you forgot!"
"Yeh I forgot." He says awkwardly.
"Really?" I ask.
"We've only been waiting for this since freshmen year!" Caroline finishes for me.
"Plus it is just awesome and you need to go off and prank somewhere now!" Grinning I demand this with a really fake serious look at the end. I don't have a serious look, the closest I have is a blank face. It sucks.
"Yeh Matt." Elena jeers. "If I'm doing this your doing this."
"I'm kinda surprised any of you are doing this." Matt replies and I give him a doubtful look. "Ok except Vera. This is totally her scene."
"And Tyler's." I add giving my twin a high five. We are so awesome.
"Any this is lame." Tyler says "I'm going to prank more classrooms." He gets up and stalks past Matt out the door. Mmmm... I better get going too or I'll have to set up the mouse traps again and my fingers won't take it.
"I shall go and do something cool like super glueing a chair to a wall." My crazy brain. It comes up with such random shit. But I like that idea. I am so doing that. I walk out the room grabbing a tube of super glue on the way out that Bonnie brought for the case and decide what class to sick a chair on a wall too. I decide my biology class because I hate the teacher. Though it'll have to be a stool then.
Super glue is not that super. I end up holding the stool on the wall for ages as it dries so it won't just fall off. Hopefully this is ok under the whole it's senior prank night this and won't get told off for this... Also hopefully it will be possible to get the chair/stool off the wall. Oh well, it'll all be fine. It's only a stool on the wall. Ha, that rhymes...
A lot of noise is coming from the gym. I should check it out. Is this dry yet? Whatever it is I'm sure it's fine, I shall just make sure my awesome prank works. Mind you there is a lot, lot, of noise coming from there. Damn, now I'm curious to what is going on. Carefully I let go of the stool and mumble. "Stay stuck to the wall." I sound crazy I need to stop talking to objects. I do it way to often. They can't even reply.
I walk into the gym only to have Tyler choke-yell at me to run. At a glance around I panic. Some blonde guy has my twin in a held lock, with some blonde girl watching interested to what is going on like its entertainment. Bonnie and Matt lurk panicked by the other gym doors and Elena is stood between the two unknown blondes. I know that is is really bad not only cause Tyler is struggling to breath, but I add it all up in my head and guess the guy that has him in the head lock is Klaus. Who killed Elena... Kinda. And is probably going to kill Tyler. Shit.
"And who is this?" The guy I think is Klaus asks. A British accent is clear in his voice. He doesn't loosen his hold on Tyler just swings him around to face me.
"Vera run." Tyler chocks out.
I stare Klaus down, for I'm sure it is Klaus now and answer because I need time to think of what to do to save my twin from the psychopath. "Vera, Tyler's twin. Why are you threatening him?"
He ignores me and asks. "Are you a werewolf too?"
I can't decide if it is better to lie and say I'm not. Elena decides for me. "No she isn't." She buts in. This is a clear sign that Klaus has Tyler because he is a werewolf and why I should tell him I am one so he can let Tyler go and take me instead.
"Yes." I say and Elena's face drops.
"Good, we have back up." Klaus says to the blonde girl. Shit that's not good.
"Idiot." Tyler manages to throw at me through the head lock that cuts off his breath.
"You can take me. Let Tyler go." I try.
Klaus smirks. "You're for if Tyler dies. As I was explaining to Bonnie I need her to fix a problem she caused. My hybrids die every time I try to turn them. It's quite horrible. I need her to find a way to save them." Biting down on his wrist he forces it into Tyler's mouth. Fuck, I know what's next. "And for your twins sake she better make it quick." I step forward just as Klaus snaps my twins neck and let's him fall to the ground.
I run at Tyler though I know he's dead but Klaus catches me. "Your next. Either as my second hybrid or another trail run."
