HEY EVERYONE! HOPE YOU LIKE THIS NEW CHAPTER! PLEASE REVIEW AND FAV/FOLLOW!
"Hey Nola." Jeremy greeted me with a smile at my locker.
"Hi Jeremy." I smiled back closing my locker, "What's up?" I asked as we made our way to class.
"Well I was wondering if you'd want to study for the calculus test with me today?" He flustered out. I blushed
"Sure I'd love too!" I exclaimed but then tried to take it down a bit, "Is my house okay?" I asked trying to sound less like a dork.
"That'd be great!" He exclaimed like me but then got a little embarrassed. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Is after school goo.." I was cut off by something smashing into me causing me to hit the ground hard.
"What the fuck!?" I winced out in pain. I felt Jeremy around me trying to help me up. I heard sniggers above me.
"Hey the 1950's called they want that dress back." Someone spat at me.
I looked up and found Jessica and Shanna laughing at me.
"What the fuck is your problem!?" Jeremy yelled at them as he helped me to my feet.
"Honestly Jeremy I don't know why you bother with this loser?" Shanna laughed
"Yeah little miss vintage Barbie thinks she can sing a little and suddenly she thinks she's all that." Jessica sneered
I could feel the power boiling inside me. I sucked in a breath to try and control myself. It was getting harder to control myself and my powers ever since I got Georgie's.
"Come on Jeremy lets just go." I grabbed his hand trying to make a break for it but they wouldn't let us through. Guess they weren't done.
"Just remember whatever you do, it won't help you escape the fact that you're a freak. A quiet, little vintage freak who can't even sing." Shanna sneered at me.
Jeremy roughly pushed through them knocking them into the lockers, "Oops." He said without any emotion other than sarcasm.
Hand in hand we started walking to class, "Does that happen a lot?" He asked me
"Only like...every other day since I've gotten here." I replied quietly. I couldn't look at him.
He stopped and made me look at him, "Nola why didn't you ever say anything?" He asked me flabbergasted.
I just shrugged my shoulders thinking they were right. I was a freak. "I wouldn't have made a difference...just please don't tell anyone... it doesn't matter lets just go to class." I slowly started walking again.
He followed me but stopped me again. I still couldn't look at him. He tilted my chin up so I could look in his eyes. He studied my face, the air felt electric.
Breathe. Nola Breathe. I said to myself
"I think you look beautiful in that dress." He softly said.
My insides flipped. My heart stopped. I couldn't think. Fuck it who needs to breathe.
Jeremy leaned close and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.
My legs almost gave out. The air felt like it was lightening. My heart stopped for a few brief moments.
He pulled back and his eyes had this playful glint to them, "We'd better get to class." He slyly smiled.
All I could do was nod and follow.
Christ. I think I'm in love. And we haven't even kissed yet.
I grinned to myself, "I'm in so screwed."
"I'm home. Jeremy's with me." I shouted into the house as we came in.
"In the kitchen." Stefan shouted back.
We walked into the kitchen to find Stefan with Damon and Elena.
"Hi Elena." I cheerfully greeted her
She smiled at me, "Hi Nola, hey Jer. What are you guys up to?" She asked us
"Studying for the calculus test." He sighed and I giggled
"That's rough, luckily you have a smart tutor." Damon smirked and I shot him a look.
"Jeremy you want to study in my room?" I asked
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute I'm just going to get a drink." He told me...but something seemed off. I went with it anyway.
"Okay." I gave him a small smile and went to my room.
I set my things down and started gathering my calculus stuff when I felt my wings stirring inside me.
"Not now." I scolded myself.
"What?" Jeremy asked coming into the room.
"Uh? Oh sorry just talking to myself." I tried to shake off but something felt off, and my fairy side knew it.
I glanced at Jeremy and tried to shake off the feeling again.
"Come on Jeremy we've been doing this for twenty minutes." I laughed, "You know this!"
"Okay one more try." He shouted into my pillow. I laughed harder
"Okay, if y=x^3 with a natural log of x or Lnx, what is the answer?" I asked for the forth time praying he would get this.
He sighed and sat up from the pillow repeating the problem to himself and writing it down again.
1 minute.
2 minutes.
3 minutes. I waited with baited breath.
"The answer is x^2(1+3Lnx)." He said to me
I looked down at my sheet and gave a cry of excitement, "That's right!" I shouted.
"Really?" He asked stunned
I nodded grinning, "Yeah! See you're getting it!" I gave him a high five.
"Does that mean we can take a break?" He excitedly shouted
"Not a chance!" I laughed and he laughed with me.
"Hey guys can we come in?" Damon asked. We both looked to the door where the three of them were standing.
"Sorry uncle Damon were we being to loud?" I apologized
"No you guys are fine, Nola we just wanted to talk to you." Stefan explained sitting in a chair
I looked to all of them, "About what?" I asked
I didn't have a good feeling brewing inside me. My wings were getting anxious.
"Should I go?" Jeremy looked to move but Stefan stopped him,
"No Jeremy you're fine."
"Nola it's come to our attention that you're being bullied at school." Stefan explained
I swung around to Jeremy who found a sudden interest in my comforter, "You didn't." I sharply asked him. He didn't speak. I smacked the bed in anger, "Dammit Jeremy I asked you not to say anything." I shouted at him.
"Nola it's not Jeremy's fault. You should have told us." Elena tried to tell me.
"No I shouldn't have!" I yelled, "It's no one's business but mine!" I heatedly said getting off my bed.
"Nola please calm down." Damon tried to tell me down
"I don't want to calm down!" I yelled at them and I pointed to Jeremy, "And you. You betrayed my trust!"
Blind rage. I couldn't see. Couldn't think. The power was taking over me. I couldn't control it.
The lights started flickering. The wind was rattling the windows.
"Get out." I seethed to them.
"Nola..." They tried to reason with me.
"Get out!" I screeched. My wings sprang out. I flew upward.
They looked at me in terror. In shock. In disbelief.
I'm a monster. I've turned into a monster.
"Nola please let's try and talk about this." Jeremy pleaded.
I didn't hear him. I shot my hand up.
The windows crashed open. The door smashed against the wall. My wings beat against my back like a heavy wave.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" I violently screamed. I pushed them out of the room with a flick of my hand. Then slammed the door shut.
I dropped to the floor and went to my magick book.
"Where is it? Where is it?" I said to myself. I could hear them trying to get back into the room.
"Teleportation. To go to spot picture it in your head then repeat the place a total of four times." I said
I closed my eyes and pictured the spot.
"Mo mháthair uaigh. Mo mháthair uaigh. Mo mháthair uaigh. Tóg mise le mo mháthar uaigh."
I opened my eyes and I was were I wanted to be. I dropped down onto the grass.
I reached out and touched the stone, "Hi Mommy." I choked out crying hugging my mother's tombstone.
Klaus POV
"Nola are you here?" I asked walking into the Salvatore house. Stefan, Damon, Elena and Jeremy were sitting in the living room. Everyone looked liked someone had died or worse.
I had a horrible feeling in my bones.
"Where is Nola?" I questioned
There was a definite silence in the room.
"Where is Nola?" I questioned louder and angrier
"We don't know!" Jeremy shouted getting up from his seat and started pacing around the room.
"What the hell is going?" I yelled to anyone
"Nola lost control over her powers because she got so angry and...we found out her secret." Elena quietly said.
"She shut us out of her room and when we got back in she was gone." Damon explained
"Is she in danger? Could someone have taken her?" I asked panicked
Stefan shook his head, "We don't think so. Her magick book was on her bed and it was open to the teleportation page."
What? "Nola teleportated to somewhere you guys don't know?" I questioned. I was still getting used to all this fairy magic crap.
"Basically." Damon deadpanned
"So you guys have no idea where she would go?" Elena asked
"Wouldn't she go back to Augusta?" I asked
"Probably, but that's seven hours away How would we get there in time? Or even know she's there?" Stefan frustratingly asked
"So we just sit here and wait?" Jeremy snapped.
"Basically." Damon responded
Great.
Nola where are you? I asked in my head.
Please be ok
"I let you down Momma. I'm a monster that's what I've turned into a monster."
I started singing to myself
Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in
Normal, why couldn't I have been normal. I just want to fit in.
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide?
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside
I grabbed my head and cried in my hands. I never wanted this pain. I don't want this!
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
"I don't want these powers anymore! I want to be normal momma! They keep getting stronger and I don't know how to control it!" I shouted at the tombstone.
God I was going crazy. I was yelling at my mothers tombstone.
"You're not going crazy and you're not a monster dear." A voice said behind me
I slowly turned around.
I stopped breathing.
"Mommy." I gasped out. I rubbed my eyes.
Nope she was still standing in front of me. All in white still like an angel
"This isn't real. God I really have lost my mind." I said breathless
She laughed. My mother laughed, "No darling you're not crazy. I am gone, but I'm still right here."
"How is this possible?" I asked astonished
"Some people in the other world pulled some strings; they knew you needed me especially right now." She explained taking a seat next to me.
"Who? Who pulled strings momma?" I asked again
"The Queen and King." She smiled.
Now I really was breathless. The King and Queen themselves gave me this gift.
"I'll have to write them a thank you." I said. Momma just laughed
"Now dear I think you are having a rough time with your new powers." She guessed.
I sighed, "Momma I don't want this. I never wanted this. I just want to be normal."
"Nola you are anything but normal and that is an extraordinary thing to be."
"You are my daughter after all." She smiled and we both laughed.
"How do I control it momma? I'm tired of hiding it and quite frankly I'm not doing a very good job at it lately." I confessed
"Why should you hide it from your friends?" She asked me
"How do I know if I can trust them?" I asked
"You'll know. Remember follow your heart and it will lead you to the right places." Momma smiled at me.
"As for controlling it, you have to train more and set limits. You have so much potential baby just give yourself time. You know you the best." She explained
"What if I can't do it? What if it takes over me?" I confessed scared, "I don't want to go dark." I whispered scared
"Oh baby, you won't go dark. Nola you have so much light and love in you. It will only consume you if you let it. You must tell yourself that you are in control of your powers."
She closed her eyes, "My time is almost up baby."
"I don't want you to go." I cried
"I have to go sweetheart and you know that." She smiled and started to disappear, "I love you. You're doing everything right. Just follow your head and your heart and you will soar."
I nodded my head, "I love you mommy. I'll make you proud."
She blew me a kiss then disappeared.
"It's been hours." Bonnie said out loud.
"Caroline, Matt, Klaus and Alaric should be back from searching town by now." Elena said worried. She hugged Damon who was equally worried. He looked to his brother.
Where was their niece?
The front door open and the foursome came in.
"Any sign of her?" Rebekah asked them hopeful.
Matt shook his head, "We searched all over town. Nothing." He let out a sigh.
Frustration hung heavy in the air.
Everyone either wanted to be sick with worry or punch a wall. Or do both.
"That's it we need to go to Augusta." Stefan stated standing, "Damon let's go."
They moved to leave.
"No need for that." A quiet voice entered the room.
Everyone swung around to see Nola standing at the doorway of the living room. A small timid smile on her face.
Stefan and Damon rushed to her and wrapped her in a hug.
"You had all of us worried to death." Stefan scolded
"Where were you?" Damon scolded again
"I'm sorry. Everyone I'm sorry about everything." I cried into their chests, "I'm sorry." She sobbed.
The wrapped her tighter.
She pulled away and wiped her face, "Everyone please sit down. I need to talk to all of you." Everyone took a seat and waited for her to continue.
"Ever since I could remember everything inside of me just wanted to fit in." She started, "I wanted to be normal, be ordinary. But I'm not." She sighed.
"I can't keep pretending anymore. You all need to know, I can't be myself, I can't be honest with you all until I'm honest with myself."
Nola closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She let her guard down and her wings appeared.
The one's that didn't already know her secret were shocked to say the least. They had never seen anything like this.
"I'm a fairy." She paused, "But that's not all I am. I am part fairy, part witch, part human and part vampire." She told everyone.
"Don't ask me how I am because I don't know. No one does, my mother didn't even know; she was a fairy and we had witches running in our family line...but the rest is hard to explain."
"I never said that I wanted this...this gift. These powers; this burden came to me and it's up to me to turn that burden into a blessing. I've been graced with amazing powers and I need to use them to do good." She explained to everyone.
"If you think I'm a monster I don't blame you. So if you think that way then just leave." Nola held her breath.
No one moved. No one breathed.
Everyone was waiting.
Finally Alaric stood.
"So what's for dinner?" He asked,
"Yeah we're all starving." Rebekah said
"I made a lasagna last night." Nola shyly replied
"Vegetarian or meat?" Bonnie asked
"Meat." She fidgeted, her wings were starting to flutter in anticipation.
"Well Christ let's sit down to eat then." Caroline grinned and everyone made their way into the kitchen.
Nola smiled to herself and wiped the tears of joy and relief off her face.
She turned to Jeremy, Jeremy about earlier, I'm so sorry." She started to apologize.
"Nola...it's perfectly fine." He smiled at her and she smiled back. He took her hand, "Let's go have dinner."
She grinned and followed him into the kitchen.
Mo mháthair uaigh. Mo mháthair uaigh. Mo mháthair uaigh. Tóg mise le mo mháthar uaigh. TRANSLATION=My mother's grave. My mother's grave. My mother's grave. Take me to my mother's grave.
