I stayed with Elena till she fell asleep. I blinked and found myself next to Damon and Stefan.
"Sup." I said
Stefan slipped and fell from the tree.
"That was funny." Damon said
I turned from looking at Stefan to see Tyler walking to his car.
"All right, later, man." Tyler said
"See you, bro." someone said
Tyler gets in his car. Vicki is there.
"Hi, Ty." Vicki said
"Whoa, Vicki? Everyone's looking for you." Tyler said
"I know." Vicki said
"What's wrong. Vick?" Tyler said
"I'm so cold." Vicki said
"You're on drugs? Everyone thinks you're off on a bender." Tyler said
"I wish." Vicki said in a whisper
"What happened in those woods, Vicki? Those kids that were killed. What did you see?" Tyler asked
"I'm so scared." Vicki said
"Come here. It's okay. I'll take you home." Tyler said
"I can't control it." Vicki said
"Control what?" Tyler asked
"I am so hungry, Ty. And it won't go away." Vicki said
"I want it. I am so hungry, Ty." Vicki said
"Okay look, I'll get you something to eat. Just sit back. Look, let's just get you home, okay? Whoa. Vicki what is wrong with you?" Tyler asked
Vicki attacks Tyler. Stefan pulls her off of him in time. I walk up to Tyler.
"Aah. Let go of me." Vicki yelled
Damon showed up.
"What's going on here, Nevaeh? What's wrong with her?" Tyler asked
"She is just took a bad drug. They are trying to help her." I said
"I can help." Tyler said
"You don't talk." Damon said
"Screw you, dude." Tyler said
"Dude"? Really? "Dude"?" Damon said
"Damon, don't." Stefan said
"Oh come on. Who's gonna miss this idiot?" Damon asked
Tyler hits Damon.
"Ohh. Don't you hurt him." Vicki said
I grab Tyler's arm. I put my hand on his arm and moved it up and down.
"Tyler go home. Forget what you saw here tonight." I said
I got up and turned around.
"Stefan, grab Damon, and grab Vicki. And hold on tight." I said
They nodded. I grab Damon, and orbed us to the boarding house.
"I'll be back later. To help okay. I have to get back to Elena." I said
I blinked and was back at Elena's. I laid down and actually got a few hours got a few hours of sleep.
- Morning -
Elena woke me up before she went to the bathroom. Elena opens the door to see Jeremy dressed and ready to leave.
"Sorry." Elena said
"Oh, no, it's cool, I'm done." Jeremy said
"You're up early. Where are you going?" Elena asked
"Police station. They're organizing the search party for Vicki, so..." Jeremy said
"Elena don't." I said
"Wait. Shouldn't you be going to school?" Elena asked
"What? You're kidding me, right?" Jeremy asked
"You shouldn't skip school/ if they find her, we'll know. That's what cellphones are for." Elena said
"Yeah, your lips keep movin'. I don't know why." Jeremy said
With that he left the bathroom and headed downstairs.
"Elena lets just go to the boarding house and have Vicki call Matt and tell him she is okay." I said
"Good idea lets go." Elena said
I turned around and walked over to Elena's floor length move. I conjured new clothes.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Elena asked
"We will talk about it in the car. You ready to go?" I asked
I took Elena another 20 or so minutes to get ready. We walked down stairs and out the door and to her car, and got in. She pulled out of her driveway and headed to the Salvatore boarding house.
"So lets talk. How long have you known?" Elena asked
"I've known about vampires my entire life. A vampire killed my parents. I've known that Stefan and Damon were vampires the day I met them." I said
"Then why did you let me date Stefan?" Elena asked
"Because Stefan doesn't eat people, only bambi. As long as he doesn't have any human blood he is a good guy." I said
"Okay, what about Caroline and Damon." Elena said
"I warned Caroline that Damon was a bad guy. I also knew that Damon wouldn't kill Caroline. That Stefan would stop him before he did any real damage to her." I said
"Okay now what are you?" Elena asked
"I don't know. I guess you could categorize me a witch." I said
"So does that mean Bonnie's gram really isn't crazy." Elena said
"You are going to have to talk Stefan about that one." I said
"Okay." Elena said
We pulled into the drive way and got out and headed to the front door. Elena rang the door bell.
"Really E. Just open the door isn't like it's locked." I said
I reached forward to open the door, but it opened before I could. On the other side of the door was Damon.
"Yay, it's you." I said
"Good to see you to, Nevaeh." Damon said
"IS Stefan here?" Elena asked
"Yep." Damon said
"Where is he?" Elena asked
"And good morning to you, little miss "I'm on a mission."." Damon said
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?" Elena asked
"And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?" Damon asked
"I'm her bestfriend that's how." I said
"Plus, if you wanted me dead, I'd be dead." Elena said
"Yes, you would. But Nevaeh here has promised to kill me if I touch you. That and she has my heart literally." Damon said
"Yeah and don't forget it." I said
Grabbed Elena's hand and pushed past Damon, and headed inside. I head towards the noise. But Elena ho doesn't know I'm listening yells for Stefan.
"Stefan? Stefan?" Elena yells
"Yes." Stefan answers
"Where is Vicki?" Elena asked
"She's upstairs." Stefan said
"What happen now? Because my brother is out there searching for her with the rest of the town. Hat do I tell him?" Elena asked
"I'm working with her, but's it's gonna take time. She's very volatile and impulsive personality." Stefan said
"Plus she is a drug addict. It's going to play a major part in how she responds to this. I could help take the edge off for a little bit." I said
"No, she needs to get used to that." Stefan said
"So, she's a vampire with issues? What am I supposed to do? Because I'm lying to everyone that I care about. What's gonna happen to her?" Elena asked
" I'm gonna keep her here with me until I know that she's safe." Stefan said
"How long is that?" Vicki asked appearing out of no where
"We can talk about that later." Stefan said
"Hey, Vicki, how are you?" Elena asked
"Really Elena." I said
"How am I? You're kidding, right?" Vicki asked
Elena leaves the room and Stefan goes after her.
"Hey. Vicki." I said
"Hey, Nevaeh. Thank you." Vicki said
"For what? You hate me." I said
"No I never hated you jealous maybe. You had what I wanted, then when you no longer had him, he still wanted you. I remember you trying to protect me from Damon the night of the comet in the Grill. Then at the cemerty you were going to take me home and help me if I picked this.: Vicki said
"No problem. You know a cool thing now is that. You will forever look like this. You can any guy you want know. You will see the world change. Controlling the blood lust is on of the biggest trouble you will have a vampire. But once you conquer that. Everything will seem easy. Stefan and I will help." I said
"What about Damon?" Vicki asked
"Trust me you don't want Damon's help." I said
Vicki and I talked for a little bit more before we went to look for Stefan. He was a table we went and sat down. He got up and got a cup of coffee and bought it back for Vicki.
"Coffee is our friend. It's the caffeine. It circulate through our veins, and it warms our body so we're not so cold to the touch." Stefan said
"Well, what if I want to drink human blood?" Vicki asked
"You're gonna have to learn to live with that urge and fight it on a daily basis one day at a time." Stefan said
I didn't say anything but I knew the way he was going about this would not work for Vicki but it was his choice.
Flashback
"Stefan I know how to help Vicki." I said
"No you don't ." Stefan said
"Yes. I do. I have a book for a vampire that was a drug addict before he turned. The way you are going to do this isn't going to make things better for her only worse." I said
"You don't know how to help her. Because you aren't a vampire. I am, so we are going to do this my way." Stefan said
"You sound like Damon." I said
"Oh, God. Don't start with that whole 12 steps thing. School counselor has been down that road, and it doesn't work for me." Vicki said
"It can work. It's your choice, Vicki." Stefan said
"So you've never tasted human blood?" Vicki asked
"This is going to be good." I said
"Not in a long time." Stefan said
"How long?" I asked
"Years and years. I'm not proud of my past behavior." Stefan said
"Does this sketchy feeling ever go away? It's like I have a massive hangover. This daylight that is a bitch. I need more blood. Where's your bathroom? I have to pee. Why do I have to pee? I thought I was dead." Vicki said
Vicki leaves the room.
"Told you your way wasn't going to work." I said
"I'm gong to, uh... I'm gonna get her some more. All right. I'll be quick." Stefan said
Stefan leaves. And Vicki comes back.
"False alarm. My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funk, but it's weird." Vicki said
Vicki then takes out her phone.
"Hmm, who are you calling?" Elena asked
"Jeremy." Vicki said
"Vicki, you cant's see Jeremy yet." I said
"Yet she can't see him anymore." Elena said
"Think you for the yet Nevaeh. Elena Don't you start. I'm gonna see whoever I wanna see." Vicki said
"Even though you could hurt him?" Elena asked
"I would never hurt Jeremy." Vicki said
"I know you think that but I can't take that risk. You're gonna have to let Jeremy go now." Elena said
"Oh really? And how long have yo been preparing the "you're not good enough" speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing." Vicki said
"Vicki calm down. Breath." I said
Vicki calmed down a little.
"All I am saying is Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this. I mean it, Vicki." I said
"Or what?" Vicki asked
Vicki grabs Elena by the throat and pushes her against the wall.
"Let's get one thing straight, you perky little bitch. You had my brother whipped for fifteen years. Fifteen year and then you dumped him. When I look at you that is all I see, just so you know. And I'm gonna see Jeremy whenever I wanna see Jeremy, because I have some fun new toys to play with, and I won't think two seconds about ripping your little head off. You got it?" Vicki said
"Vicki deep breath though your mouth." I said
I stepped up next to Vicki, I put my hand on her arm I used the a power called Empathy (the ability to feel others' feelings and channel them, as well as to copy other's powers). I absorb her anger. She let Elena go and stepped back.
"Thanks Nevaeh." Vicki said
"No problem." I said
Vicki walked away. Stefan walked in and saw Elena on the floor.
"By the way, that is Nevaeh 1 Stefan 0." I said
I helped Elena stand up.
"She threatened me." Elena said
"She's on edge. Imagine every sense in your body operating at super speed. I mean, she's uncomfortable in her own skin. And them you throw in her other issues..." Stefan said
"How long before it settles? Hours? Days? Weeks?" Elena asked
"There's no rule book." Stefan said
"Actually there is but you don't want my help." I said
"Well, how long before you learned to control it?" Elena asked
"A while. But I didn't have anybody helping me. I had to do it on my own. The things it it's hard to resist certain people especially when you're new, it's difficult to separate your feelings. Love, lust, anger, desire... it can all blur into one urge, hunger." Stefan said
"What does that mean?" Elena asked
"It means that Jeremy can't see her, not now. She might not be able to resist him, and she could hurt him." Stefan said
"Or worse." Elena said
"I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt." Stefan said
"I need to get going. So does Nevaeh." Elena said
"Elena..." Stefan said
"Please Stefan. There's only so much I can take." Elena said
Elena grabs my hand and drags me out of the house.
"Elena slow down." I said
"No." She said
We got in the car and Elena drove off. She stopped by my house, and dropped me off. I got inside and planned on going straight to bed, but instead got a phone call from Caroline.
"Hello." I said
"I want you to go upstairs put a costume on and come to the high school." Caroline said
"I;m so tired." I said
"Come Nevaeh." Caroline said
"You are so lucky that you are my best friend." I said
"Yay. See you soon." Caroline said
I hung up the phone and headed upstairs. I found to outfits a weird Sleeping Beauty dress or a assassin outfit. So I just randomly picked one. I quickly changed and headed to my car. I got in and drove tot eh school. I parked the car and got out and made my way toward Caroline and Bonnie.
"Wow you look hot." Caroline said
"Thank you." I said
"No problem." Caroline said
Caroline, Bonnie, and I talked, and did a few things. I we walking when Tyler walked up to us.
"Cider for the ladies. It's a Lockwood special." Tyler said
"No way. Last year I was hung over until Thanksgiving." Bonnie said
"Lightweight. I am going to drink until someone is hot enough to make out with." Caroline said
"I want some." I said
Tyler handed me a cup.
"Damn Nevaeh you are looking good." Tyler said
"Thank you. Bye Tyler." I said
I walked away and ran into Elena.
"Hey Elena. What's up." I said
Matt walked up to use.
"Nice costume Nevaeh. Elena went with last year's costume too, huh?" Matt asked
"Yeah. I didn't know that I was coming till an hour ago." Elena said
"Me neither. And you're going as.. you?" Matt asked Jeremy
"He's not talking to me right now. We got into a fight." Elena said
"Yeah, I got into it with Vic too, when she got hone. I'm trying not to smother her tonight, but part of me didn't wanna let her out of my sight." Matt said
"She's here?" I asked
"Yeah, you can't miss her. She's a vampire." Matt said
"You don't say." I said
"Where did Jeremy go?" Elena asked
"Elena what's the matter?" Matt asked
"I... I've gotta find him." Elena said
"I'll help." I said
We walked away from Matt.
"Hey, Elena yo go that way, I'll go this way." I said
"Okay." Elena said
I walked away form her and into a classroom. I found a Matt of the school on the wall. I took it off the wall and laid it out on a desk. I conjured my crystal. I used a ability called Scrying (one of the basic abilities of a witch, the ability to search with a crystal to find a lost object or person). It landed on a classroom that was down the hall. I put the map and crystal in my bag and headed towards the classroom. I walked in to find Stefan and Vicki.
"What, you're following me now?" Vicki asked
"You didn't really give me much of a choice." Stefan said
"Let me out of here." Vicki said
"Look what I found." I said
"Nevaeh help." Vicki said
"I want to, but Stefan is right at the moment. You shouldn't be here. Crowds like this, it makes it even harder for you to keep yourself under control. You are to new." I said
"I'm fine." Vicki said
"Really?" I asked
"Mmm Hmm." Vicki said
"No headache? Your stomach's not screaming at you? You're not feeling light headed or anxious or cranky like if someone looks at you the wrong way you could just rip their head off? Do you wanna know what that's called? It's called hunger and it's only gonna get worse and worse every minute that you pretend like it's not controlling you." Stefan said
"Wow Stefan never thought you had such evil thoughts" I said
"Only when comes to blood, and Damon." Stefan said
"That was actually funny." Vicki said
"Let's go. Vicki, I want to tell you that most new vampires would have killed someone by now at a place with this many people. So the fact everyone is still alive is something you should be proud of." I said
"Thank you, for the confidence you have in me." Vicki said
"No problem." I said
We were headed for the exit when we saw Elena. She saw us and came over.
"I have a bad feeling." I said
"Thank god." Elena said
"What's the matter?" Stefan asked
"I lost track of Jeremy. I was worried." Elena said
I saw Matt coming our way.
"Great." I said
"What's goin' on?" Matt asked
"Hey, uh, everything's fine." Stefan said
"I told you to quit bothering me." Vicki said
"No. Vicki, don't do this." I said
"Matt, he won't leave me alone." Vicki said
"You need to back off, man." Matt said
"Matt, it's...it's okay." Elena said
"No, it's not okay. What the hell is your problem?" Matt asked
"Stefan. She's gone." I said
I closed my eyes, cleared my mind, and focused on Vicki. Anything would be better than this, i was about to give up when i got a Premonition (the ability to receive a vision about the future of an object or person with or without touching them or those) of Vicki. She was by the buses and was with Jeremy. I opened my eyes and ran that way. I got outside.
"Vicki." I yelled
No one answered I listened for them.
"Okay. Yeah. Ow. You're taking that costume a little too far. What? What is it? Vicki. Vicki! What the hell?! Oh, my god. No. Stop. No. Ah." I heard Jeremy
I headed towards them but Elena runs over to them she has a wooden plank in her hands. She hits Vicki with it. Vicki then turns and grabs Elena and throws into a pile of garbage. Stefan then shows up and grabs Vicki and holds her against eh bus. I used the same ability i used earlier and tried to calm Vicki down.
"Vicki, listen to me. You can do this, remember breath. Don't let the blood lust control you, you control it." I said
She started to calm down. But the Jeremy comes from around the bus.
"Vicki," he said
Vicki disappears.
"Elena, go. You and Jeremy need to get inside." I said
Elena grabs Jeremy and runs. Stefan and I continue to look.
"Ahh." I hear Elena
I run over to see Vicki walking toward Elena. I used Telekinesis (The ability to move objects and individuals by using your mind. It can be channeled through the eyes or hands). To throw a piece of wood at her. I then run over to her.
"I'm sorry." Vicki said
"No, I'm sorry i couldn't help you." I said
She then fades completely. Jeremy tries to come but Elena holds him back. I hold Vicki. Stefan calls Damon. A few seconds later Damon appears. He looks at Elena.
"You should go. I got this." Damon said
"You did this. This is your fault." Elena said
"You confuse me for someone with remorse." Damon said
Elena tries to slap Damon but he catches her hand.
"None of this matters to me. None of it." Damon said
"People die around you. How could it not matter? It matter, and you know it." Elena said
This time she does hit him.
"You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding and you need.
to leave." Damon said
Elena turns and leaves. Damon comes over to me.
"You should go." Damon said
"No, I'll help you." I said
I grabbed his hand and what surprised me was i flamed out. We did what we needed to do. But, changed her skin color so if someone found her they wouldn't see a gray body but a normal one. I then grabbed Damon's hand. An flamed back to Elena's house. We walked up to the house.
"Can you make him forget?" Elena asked
"Elena..." Stefan said
"Stefan, please. I don't know how he'll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened." Elena said
"It I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work... because of who i am. Because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right." Stefan said
"I can do it. If this is what you want... I'll do it." Damon said
"It's what i want." Elena said
"What do you want him to know" Damon asked
"I want you to tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best." Elena said
Damon goes inside. Elena sits down next to Stefan.
"You shouldn't compel him Elena. This town is always crawling with vampires. What if he remembers or if he finds out that you had him complied." I said
"It will be worth it even if it is only for a little bit." Elena said
"Okay, Elena. Just be careful." I said
I then turned and left. I was bad. That I couldn't help Vicki. I got home and headed straight to my liquor cabinet. I thought about using a glass but went with the bottle. I was headed to go upstairs when there was a knock on the door. I went over to the door and opened it. On the other side of the door was Damon.
"What do you want?" I asked
"I wanted to make sure you were okay." Damon said
"Don't lie it's unbecoming." I said
Damon came inside.
"I don't think I said you could come in." I said
Damon looked at me.
"Why are you drinking so much?" Damon asked
"Because you drove me to it." I said
Damon reached for the bottle but I pulled it away.
"Nope. My bottle. Go get your own." I said
"Fine. I will." Damon said
As the night went on I drank my bottle plus half of another one. Damon also drank a bottle. I felt Damon come up behind me. He wrapped his arm around my waist. He leaned down. He kissed my neck.
"Damon." I said
"Yes, Nevaeh." Damon said
"Last time." I said
Damon turned me around and pushed me against the wall.
