Hey guys, Please review and tell me what you think xx

I seemed to get it then, why Stefan refused to meet my eyes. What happened if she refused? What would happen if Vicki didn't feed?

"And what if she doesn't?" Elena asked with wide eyes.

Stefan said nothing for a moment or two and then, "She'll die." Stefan said. "She may only have a few hours."

No. Not Vicki ...

When I get to the boarding house I find Damon and Stefan in the front yard. Stefan looks really worried and then his eye's widen when he spot's me.

I wave awkwardly when I see Stefan's expression. Not only does he look worried he looks guilty. What worries me even more is the fact that Damon looks entertained. Very entertained.

"Melody." Stefan sighs as a greeting.

"What's wrong?" I asked quickly, my eyes darting between Damon and Stefan. I needed to see Vicki to tell her that she had to stay inside. She had been wearing a vampire costume and tonight was Halloween. She couldn't die, not Vicki ...

"We lost Vicki." Stefan said in a mourning tone, his eyes closed.

I froze and realised my mouth was hanging open but I couldn't seem to move. Oh, Vicki ...

"You'll catch fly's if you leave your mouth open any longer." Damon said with a lazy smirk.

My mouth snapped shut and I started pacing. I ran a hand through my hair and chewed my lip. Oh my God, what were we going to do? I couldn't go through that again. I wouldn't be able to wake up from that a second time.

"Chill, Mel, we'll find her." Damon said with another smirk.

I whipped around and pointed an accusing finger at Damon. Then I started signing rapidly and I'm sure I missed out a few words. "You! You! This is all your fault, Damon! She is my best friend and now she'll die tonight. Tonight! I'm not ready for her to leave, Damon! She'll be gone ... just like mom and dad ..."

I sobbed stared sobbing and felt someone pull me into them and hold me tight. "I'm sorry," Damon whispered. "I'm so sorry, Mel. She'll be fine."

"Were going to find her right now," Stefan said gently. I nodded and pulled away from Damon. I whipped the tears with my sleeve and sniffed a bit before nodding again.

We start searching through the crowd of party people. There are zombies, vampires, werewolves, witches, slutty things and so on. Stefan wasn't wearing a costume while I had changed into my costume of a dead person. I was wearing a long white dress that had rips at the bottom and blood covering about 70% of it.

I looked over to Stefan to find him gone. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed. What was I supposed to do now?

I need to get away from all the lights and loud, loud music. I run to the nearest entrance and take a deep breath when I get outside - just to clear my head. And then I see something that scares me to hell.

"Vicki, stop!" Elena exclaims as she runs to Vicki with a slab of wood. Vicki who was attacking my brother, my Jeremy. Not Vicki ...

I faintly take in her vampire costume and see the images of her dead.

She really looked like a vampire now ...

Vicki pushes Jeremy to the ground and then turns to Elena. Elena screams as she's thrown into a bench. No, Vicki, no ...

Stefan grabs Vicki and pins her to one of the coaches, he has a piece of wood in his hands. Not Vicki ...

Then Vicki's gone, she'd pushed Stefan away. Where was she? Then suddenly she was in front of Elena who's standing. She's attacking Elena, biting down hard into her neck. I faintly hear Jeremy screaming, for who I don't know. Please no ...

Then Stefan's there and Elena's been pushed away. He pushes the piece of wood into Vicki, she doesn't even scream. Her eyes go wide and they land on me. I faintly realise I'm crying and have been for a while. Not Vicki ... No ...

Stefan lets go of the piece of wood and Vicki falls to the floor. I quickly run to her but stop when I'm a few steps away. This was it ... I wasn't going to wake up now ...

She really looked like a vampire now ...

Her skin was grey and she looked like she had been dead and decaying for years rather than a few seconds. The steak was sticking up from her chest and her eyes glazed over. She really looked like a vampire now; she was even wearing the costume. I heard Jeremy call out her name from behind me but I couldn't concentrate on his voice. I couldn't concentrate on anything other than the body in front of me.

I fell to my knees and let out a strangled sound from the back of my throat. I hadn't even noticed the tears running down my face but I saw them land next to the body. The body - not Vicki or Vicki's body, just The body. I tilted my head back so that I was looking at the sky and the stars and I opened my mouth to scream - to shout but no sound came out just like I knew none would, all that came out was a sob.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to find Damon staring down at me in pity. I stood up and he wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him and cried into his shoulder for what seemed like forever.

"I'm so, so sorry." I heard him whisper into my ear, I just sobbed even harder into his shoulder and he had to suport my weight to keep me from falling..

Stefan drove me, Elena and Jeremy home. Damon was going to deal with the body, her body, Vicki's body. Jeremy had been crying so bad that Damon had said he was going to compel him to forget. Vicki, my poor Vicki ...

I walked slowly into my room. I think I was still in shock. Vicki was gone, my best friend was never going to randomly walk into the room and complain about Elena. I was never going to be able to see her face or here her voice.

I sat down on my bed and felt something wet drip onto me. I was still crying. Someone cleared their throat and I looked to the doorway of my room. Elena, Stefan and Damon were there. What were they doing here? Why would I want to see them now? They were the reason that Vicki was dead, Vicki died to protect poor Elena.

They all walked in but I didn't react, I just kept staring at the doorway - the one I wanted Vicki to walk through with a big smile on her face and then she'd say something like, "Ugh, I can't believe your Elena's twin. I mean she's so annoying and your not."

And I would smile and we'd both laugh.

Someone cleared their throat and I looked up to see Damon looking down at me, looking right into my eyes. He kneeled down in front of me and wiped the tears away but new ones replaced them almost instantly. His hand went to my wrist and he unclasped it and gave it to Elena. I frowned, what was he doing? And then it came to me ... they were going to compel me like Jer.

I jumped from the bed and ran to the door but Damon was there instantly. I turned around and pointed an accusing finger at Elena.

"It'll be safer for you." She said with a pity look on her face.

I stormed over to her, now sobbing and slapped her on across the face with all my strength.

She took a step back in shock and I choked on my breath. No no no no! I couldn't forget! No! I wouldn't let them! Not Vicki ...

"I'm trying to help you," said Elena angrily.

I shook my head, angry now yet still crying. "You are shit, Elena. You're a real bitch I hope you know. Vicki died because of you! Damon may have turned her and Stefan may have put the steak in her but it was all because of you. You! This is all your fault!"

They left after that. Stefan had put my braclet on my dresser next to a picture of me and Vicki as kids. I sat on my bed and just stared at the wall for a moment then I jumped up and opened my box of paints and paint brushes. I got them all out and laid them on the floor. Then I started ripping all the posters of my wall down, even ripping some in half but I didn't care. When the wall was bare I began to paint.

She really looked like a vampire now ...
