The Sisters
Chapter 10:
*Caroline's POV*
I woke up next to Damon and memories from last night replayed in my head, taking him home, making out, him biting me. I jumped up in my bed, gasping, and seen the dresser with mirror on the other side. I looked at my reflection, my heart pounding, my head aching and blood. I lightly slid my hair back, turning my head to get a better angle an seen bite marks! I seen him down, still sleeping, biting my nails, I looked towards the door, it was shut. I flicked my hands out a few times, working up my courage to run to the door.
Time to girly up, I thought to myself. All I have to do is get to the door, and run down stairs, lightning fast and scream out to mum. She's the Chief of Police, she'll just grab her gun and arrest this psycho.
I kept my eyes closed until I could feel like coolness of the hardwood floor against my toes, once I did, I slowly slid out of my bed, hoping not to jostle him awake so I can make a break for it. I tiptoed towards the door, slowly and carefully. My foot hit the rug at the end of my bed and I almost sighed with relief. Another step. The floorboard creaked beneath my foot, my head swung back, he was still sleeping. I almost sighed with relief again. I continued tiptoeing toward the door, reaching out for the handle I felt it's coolness against my flushed skin. Turned the door knob and heard it click into place, I shut my eyes, turning to look back he wasn't there this time.
"Good morning," a voice said from right in front of me, my heart skipped a beat as I seen Damon standing right in front of me.
I walked backwards, my hand felt the bottom of the bed and I started using that to know where I was. "Please, don't hurt me," my voice sounding as scared as I felt. Grabbing my lamp from my bedside table.
"Don't do that," he smirked, wiggling a finger.
I smacked him across the face with it, his head snapping to the side and he looked pissed. I let out a girlish sob and climbed over the bed so it was between us. I grabbed my alarm clock "Nuh-uh-uh," he said, but too late, I already threw it. I didn't wait to see if it hit him but I heard it hit the wall behind him.
I bolted for the door. He stepped out in front of me, grabbing me, throwing me onto the bed. I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him. "Get away from me!" I screamed, my voice hoarse.
He caught the pillow mid-toss. "This could've gone a completely different way," he said, smiling at me. He seen something on the pillow, lifted it to his face and smelt it. When he removed the pillow I seen his veins sticking out from underneath his eyes, they were blood red and his canine teeth enlargened into shiny points. My breathing became panting as my fear grew. He ran towards me.
***Bella POV***
Elena, Bonnie and I got out of the car as we arrived at school. "I'm not saying don't date the guy, I'm just saying take it slow," Bonnie said to Elena.
"But you're the one who said go for it," Elena states.
"Now, I'm saying take it slow!" Bonnie replied, walking towards Elena.
Elena studied Bonnie curiously. "Why the about face?" she asked. Bonnie's about face was when she was hiding something about someone but wouldn't say what, or when she didn't like something about someone but wouldn't say.
"It's not an about face," Bonnie simply said. "Just think for the first time in your high school career, it's the perfect time to play the field."
"Ohh haha, because I am so that girl!" Elena replied. "Seriously, what are you nit saying?"
"It's stupid," Bonnie said to Elena.
I seen across the field Mat as he tossed a football with some guy I didn't know, Tyler talking to Mat, the football going back and fourth, back and fourth.
"Bonnie," Elena said, grabbing her and pulling her to a stop in front of her. I stepped forward, ready to get our twin-give-us-what-we-want-look. It was something we did as kids to get mum and dad to get us the candy we wanted. We figured one wasn't enough, why not double? We'd pout and give puppy-dog eyes and they couldn't give in, but when we got to school we got into all kinds of different things, whether it was confronting people and telling them to back off or just simply getting people to tell us what we want by intimidation. One? Yeah sometimes it wasn't enough but the two of us? Yeah it really was. I looked at Bonnie, folding my arms.
"Spit it out," I told her. "If she's dating someone that could be a floosy, we need to know."
Bonnie sighed knowing she couldn't get out of it and I was right. "I accidentally touched the guy, and I got a really bad feeling," Bonnie announced.
Elena looked at her expectantly, smirking. "Is that it?" she asked.
Bonnie turned to walk away I grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Bonnie," I said warningly.
"It was bad bad!" she said.
"Is this the whole witch mojo thing?" Elena asked.
Bonnie smiled. "You know what? I'm just concerned! This is me expressing concern about best friend's new boyfriend."
Elena grabbed hold of her shoulders and bent down at eye level. "And I love you for it, I do, but I feel good! It's been a hard year and I'm starting to feel like things are getting back to normal again and you know what? Stefan is a big part of that," Elena said, smiling and looking truly happy.
Bonnie smiled. And I looked at her. "Now why don't you go over there," I said pointing her in Mat's direction. "And go touch him and tell me what sort of vibe you get from him."
Elena, Bonnie and I giggled. Elena knew about Mat and she told me he's truly a great guy and if he makes me happy I should go for it. Stefan approached. "Good morning Elena," he said smiling at her. Nodded at Bonnie and I smiling and saying "Good morning Bonnie and Bella."
"Hey, uhmm, I gotta find Caroline, she's not answering her phone," she said to Elena. Peering at Stefan out of the corner of her eye. "So... see you guys later."
"Bonnie, wait," I started to say but she was already gone. I looked up at Stefan and Elena, grabbing both their arms and smiled. "So please don't take offense to this Stefan, but I'm gonna go and say hey to Mat and convince him to carry me to P.E." I giggled and Stefan raised his eyebrows at me.
"So Mat, hey?" he asked.
"Yeah, well after everything that happened with Damon, which I don't even know what happened, the more I try remembering, the more I forget, I decided to whisk Mat off his feet, plus it gets him off Elena and yours back, plus he's cute and if we had kids they'd be adorable with bright blue eyes and blonde hair," I said winking about to walk off, flicking my hair but Stefan pulled me back, lifted my hair up and moved my face to the side to get a better angle of my neck.
"What happened here?" he asked, tracing my neck where it was sensitive. I reached up to my neck and felt the scars I've seen every morning for the past few days.
I tried remembering every morning I seen them but couldn't. "I don't know," I answered sounding as confused as I felt. "I figured it was a mosquito bite or a hickey gone wrong."
All I knew was it looked like a bite mark and had a lot of bruising. But it didn't look the one on my wrist, so it couldn't have been a vampire.
Elena looked at it, shock and worry appeared over her features. "Oh my god! It looks like a bite mark!" she announced. "Who did this to you?" she demanded.
"Bella," Stefan said sternly. "What happened?" he sounded so worried and serious.
"Look, I honestly don't know," I told them. "One morning it was just there. Damon had come over the previous night, we talked, it was good, we kissed, said goodnight. Next morning my pillow was covered in blood and I had a bite mark. I figured it was a mosquito bite infected because it was so itchy and I kept scratching at it.." It sounded weird, even to me, but it was all I could remember.
Stefan sighed. "You're probably right," he said, looking like he really didn't believe it. "But just let me know if you remember anything else or it starts to get itchier and bleed because it could get infected, or worst."
I agreed and walked away. When I reached Mat he looked down at me and smiled. "Hey," I said sheepishly.
Mat smiled and his blue eyes twinkled. "Hey," he said.
"What's going on between you two?" Tyler asked bluntly, smirking.
I looked at Tyler, folded my arms. "That's none of your business," I told him flatly.
Mat laughed and tossed the football. Tyler looked up and smiled. "Look, there's Elena and her new boyfriend!" Tyler taunted. "Oh what are they doing? Walking, walking, yep right into the sunset!"
Suddenly I felt weird, dizzy and I felt like I was looking in on something. "Tyler! Don't!" I yelled. But he acted as if he didn't hear me and ran in the direction Elena and Stefan were in with the football and kicked it. The ball flew straight for Elena and Stefan, a field away. "Stefan watch out!" Elena yelled. But Stefan turned around, lightning fast,, caught the ball mid-air right before it hit him. Smiled at Tyler and threw it right back, just like a football player would and Tyler caught it but stumbled back at the impact. The look on my face was shocked as I looked from Tyler to Stefan. That was over a field away and it still could've gone further! Tyler stumbled back and grunted like it shocked him! What the hell? He should be playing football and be on the team! Tyler played three varsity sports and worked out so the fact he stumbled back on the impact was a big thing.
"And you're just standing there like a little yard troll!" Tyler said, smirking.
"Gnome!" Mat corrected, throwing the ball back. "And she made her choice."
"Let her know she made the wrong one," Tyler said, butting in and catching by he ball before Mat could.
"Tyler! No!" Mat whisper/yelled at him. "Ty!"
"Tyler! Don't!" I yelled.
But he acted as if he didn't hear me and ran in the direction of Elena and Stefan were in with the football and kicked it. The ball flew straight for Elena and Stefan, a field away.
"Stefan watch out!" Elena yelled. But Stefan turned around, lightning fast,, caught the ball mid-air right before it hit him. Smiled at Tyler and threw it right back, just like a football player would and Tyler caught it but stumbled back at the impact.
I felt as shocked as I looked in that vision (?) but I couldn't get past the fact I seen that right five seconds before it actually happened. "I gotta go!" I said quickly and raced off to where Bonnie went inside the school halls. I was confused, dazed and a little on edge.
Let me know what ya think xD
