"Anina, how you've changed" Silas looks at me with disgust.
I laugh
"You did this to me, I just adapted."
He shakes his head
"No, you chose this lifestyle to block it out. The heartbreak you felt when you lost me. The love that we had; you yearn for it."
I shake in anger
"Keep telling yourself that. I hate you. I've hated you since the day I became an immortal. I haven't missed you, you can count on that. And the times I have thought about you, it's been regrets"
He laughs
It sends a jolt through me, his laugh. His laugh was one of the things I had loved the most about him
His laugh is the same, but his eyes aren't
The warm brown irises that had once contained happiness and life are gone
Now they are just empty, dull brown, and filled with malice. They are dead.
"Keep telling yourself that, my love"
Suddenly I'm back in the meadow, covered in dirt.
The little girl – my first feed, is playing in the tall grass
And suddenly he's there, looming over her
My heart drops into my stomach when I realize what he's about to do
"Don't!" I screech
It's too late, Silas dives for her neck
I am suddenly frozen in place.
I can't move.
I can't help her.
"Please!" I screech, my eyes watering "Stop!"
But he doesn't.
He doesn't stop.
He doesn't stop until he's drained her.
Tears are streaming down my face, I drop down and sob.
I mourn for the girl whose name I didn't even know
Anna
Anna
"Anna!"
I jolt upright, my forehead is wet
Kat looks at me in confusion
"What happened? You were talking in your sleep"
I sigh with relief. It was a dream. Just a dream
I shake my head at her
"It was nothing, just a funky dream"
I feel guilty – I'm lying to her. But I sure as hell can't tell her I'm having dreams about Silas. God knows how Kat would react.
She raises her eyebrows at me
"About?"
I smirk
"Bearded ladies and naked men"
She rolls her eyes
"And you tell me my sense of humour is horrendous"
I shrug
"That's because it is – there's no harm in stating facts"
"Indeed there isn't, but there is harm in sleeping in until 2pm. get a move on! Kol and Elijah are already at the Gill. We need to discuss our next move"
I groan
"Can't our next move wait a while?"
She laughs
"No, sadly our next move doesn't like being ignored. It's very sensitive"
I laugh
"Have you given it a name too?"
She smirks
"Tell you what, you get the honour of naming it if you get out of bed and get ready"
"Oh how tempting. Why don't you give me stickers and candy while you're at it?"
She scoffs
Suddenly I'm being thrown across the room, hitting the far wall.
I get up, letting out an irritated growl
"Fine, I'll meet you at the front of the house in 10 minutes"
She smirks
"Good"
I wash my face with some cool water and toss my hair up into a bun. Pulling on some leggings and a jumper I make my way downstairs.
Kat scans over my outfit, raising her eyebrows
I raise them back
"I don't recall there being a formal dress code"
She shakes her head
"Let's just get going"
We arrive at the Grill and make our way over to the table Kol and Elijah are sitting at.
Kol smirks
"Ah, sleeping beauty finally got out of bed. Who kissed you awake?"
Kat answers before I get a chance
"Bearded ladies and naked men apparently"
Kol and Elijah both exchange confused glances
"Sorry I asked"
He gestures toward a glass of wine in front of the empty seat beside him
"Care for a drink?"
I sigh, I could really use one
Kat swipes the glass away and places it on the empty table next to us
"We can get wasted later"
"Katerina is right" Elijah pipes in "we have important matters to discuss, and it would be helpful if the two of you weren't intoxicated"
Kol and I roll our eyes
"I say we do nothing"
They all look at me like I've lost my mind
"What do you mean do nothing?"
Kat snaps
"A bunch of naïve idiots want to raise the most powerful and ruthless supernatural creature on this planet and you say we do nothing?"
I smile
"What I mean is let them make the first move. We should find out what they're planning to do first; and then we should go from there. What's the point of planning something when you don't even know what you're working with?"
"I say we go with the hybrid's plan" Kol says
I glare at him
Kat smirks
"Aw, don't be so mad Anna. I mean, there's no harm in stating facts"
I have nothing to say to that. So I grab the glass of wine off the table Katerina placed it on and down it in one go. The alcohol burns my throat, it's a wonderful feeling.
Elijah gives me a look
I smirk
"Just like Kol said, let's go with the hybrid's plan. And the hybrid's plan is to wait; and get wasted while doing so"
"And why do we need to get wasted?" Kat asks
"Multitasking is good brain exercise"
Kol picks up his glass and downs it
"My brain could use a workout"
I smirk
"Let's hit the gym then"
Elijah shakes his head disapprovingly
"Your senses of humour are horrendous"
"At least they exist" Kol points out
Kat and I look at each other before bursting into giggles
"What's so funny?" Kol asks, looking confused
I shake my head, still laughing
"Nothing"
Kat get's up and looks at me, smiling
"Well, have fun"
"You're not staying?"
She laughs
"I don't think I could stand anymore of your horrendous humour. Besides, Elijah and I have some serious catching up to do"
I shrug
"See you later then"
Katerina and Elijah walk out as Kol and I make our way towards the bar, this would definitely be an interesting evening.
