Dear Diary,
It has been a month since Stefan found out the truth and since then we grew a-lot closer to one another. I've been keeping it a secret from Elena, not wanting to hurt her feeling that I was in contact with Stefan. I still can't believe he knows, that still shocks me to the core that Stefan knows. I didn't expect to see him in my new life, especially not with Damon, but life surprised me. Stefan and I still have zero idea why I was reborn into a new body, or why I still have memories of my past life. Maybe God has plans for me, or maybe its a supernatural reason as to why I am here. So let's talk about anything else. I haven't been going to therapy, and I'm okay and I don't mind, I needed a break and I've been doing better.
See You soon.
Willow
Willow hears her alarm going off as soon as she opens her eyes, she had a smile on her face, grateful that she didn't have another nightmare. She hasn't had one in days and each day she wakes up peaceful, she smiles.
Willow removes her blanket and tossed herself off her bed, she stumbles to her bathroom, rubbing her eyes on the way and hopped into the shower.
After she was dressed, she walks into the hallway and walked until she was in the shared bathroom, to see Jeremy standing in the doorway of his bedroom and Elena about to brush her teeth,
"Wait. Shouldn't you be going to school?" Elena scolded her brother as she looks at his reflection.
"What? You're kidding me, right?" Jeremy responds back.
Willow raises her brows, "What is going on?"
Jeremy looks at his twin, "I'm going to look for Vicki."
Willow shoulders sank, "Jer-"
"You shouldn't skip school. If they find her, we'll know. That's what cellphones are for." Elena finished for her sister.
"Yeah, your lips keep movin'. I don't know why."
Willow and Elena sighed as Jeremy entered his room, closing the door behind him.
The youngest looked at her older sister, "We can't let Vicki go near him."
"I know."
"Well Hello."
Willow scrunches her nose in disgust when she sees Damon opening the door.
Elena and Willow stood in front of the house, both looking at Damon with hard eyes.
"Is Stefan here?" Elena asks.
"Yep!" Damon pops the "P"
"Damon, where the hell is Stefan?" Willow growls.
"And good morning to you, little misses " I'm on a mission"." Damon replied with a sarcastic tone as he leaned against the wooden door.
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?"
Damon looked away from staring at Willow to look at the brown eyed girl, "And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?"
"If you wanted us dead, we'd be dead." Willow mutters with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, you would."
"But we're not."
"Yet."
Willow groans, asking once again, "Where is Stefan?"
Damon looked back at Willow, before sighing, "He's upstairs singing "The rain in Spain". Knock yourself out."
Willow and Elena stepped aside, allowing Damon to walk out of the house, but Willow and Damon just looked at each other before Damon walked further past her.
~Boom Boom~ Willow's heart race as she licked her lip and entered the home along side her sister.
Willow closes the door behind her as Elena calls out Stefan's name.
"Stefan? Stefan?"
Willow and Elena turns around when they heard a creaking sound before hearing a "Yes."
"Where is Vicki?"
Willow watches Stefan puts a finger to his lip and then motioning it towards upstairs, "She's upstairs." and with that, Stefan walks down the stairs and towards the sisters.
"What happens now? Because our brother is out there searching for her with the rest of the town."
"What do we tell him?" Willow asks as she gulped.
"I'm working with her, but it's gonna take time. She's a very volatile and impulsive personality. She's a drug user. I mean, all that's gonna play a part in how she responds to this."
"So, she's a vampire with issues? What am I supposed to do? Because we're lying to everyone that we care about. What's gonna happen to her?"
"I'm gonna keep her here with me until I know that she's safe."
"How long is that?"
Willow head shot up to the stairs once more to see Vicki standing there.
Stefan and Elena followed and looked up, "We can talk about that later." Stefan tells the new vampire.
"Hey, Vicki, How are you?"
Willow winced, "Elena! Don't say that."
"How am I? You're kidding, right?" Vicki snapped, annoyed and bitchy.
Willow and Elena left an hour or two later, after having a talk with Stefan and Vicki.
It didn't go as plan.
Elena has a sore neck thanks for Vicki's strength.
But apparently Vicki won't leave Jeremy alone, still wanting to be with him. But theres an issue.
She's dangerous and Willow doesn't want the vampire near her twin.
But now it was night time, and Elena and Willow were in the kitchen of their home.
"You gotta call me, Vic." Jeremy began as he spoke into his phone, "I don't get it. What's going on with you? Just...just call me please." Jeremy hangs up as he reaches into the cabinet for a glass.
Elena and Willow spared one another a look.
"Jer, wanna hang out tonight?" Willow started to talk as she pops a piece of french fry into her mouth, "You, me, and Elena can go to the halloween carnival tonight."
"Cool. Sure. Sounds uh...sounds fun. Can't wait." Jeremy said but Elena and Willow could hear the uninterested tone in Jeremy's voice .
"I know you're upset about Vicki. I heard she called Matt. But you can't be with her. She needs to get better. The best thing you can do for her is let her go." Elena informs her brother, trying to make him see the truth.
Jeremy was on his way out of the room, when he turns around and looked at Elena, "What does that even mean, "let her go"?" He pauses before scoffing, "Oh, okay, sure. Since we're such experts on letting people go, right?"
"Me and Willow think it's for the best Jeremy, I know you may not see it, but trust us Jer. It's for the best."
"Look, for months after mom and dad died, I felt like crap, like "nothing really even mattered" crap. Now all of a sudden, I get these moments and things started to feel just a little bit better, and Vicki was in every single of 'em. So you may not see it, but trust me. Keeping me away from her is not for the best."
Willow opens her mouth to call out for her twin, but Jeremy dashes out of the kitchen.
"We need to do something, something quick." Willow mumbles as she snacks on her fries.
"We do. But hopefully tonight we'll take Jeremy's mind off everything."
Willow was all dressed up within an hour. She was going as a princess.
The red dress that Aunt Jenna let her buy fit her perfectly, and she it didn't even show people that she was wearing old beaten up shoes.
Elena decided to go as a, slutty?, nurse or just a regular nurse, Willow couldn't tell.
The party was in full swing when the siblings arrived at the school.
Jeremy decided to just wear a black hoodie and a pair of black jeans.
They entered the school and walked towards the gym, where Willow easily spotted Matt, who was wearing what he wore last year.
"Hey Matt." Willow greeted the blond hair man as Matt approached them.
"Hey Willow, lovely dress."
Willow smiled at the man, blushing ever so slightly at the compliment.
"Hey Elena, you went with last year's costume too, huh?"
Willow watches Elena and Matt high-five each other with fake body parts.
"Yeah. I didn't know that I was coming till an hour ago." Willow chuckles at that.
"Me neither." Matt looks at Jeremy, looking him up and down, "And you're going as...you?"
Jeremy didn't respond to Matt's question, just looking around,
Willow sighed as she explained to Matt that, "He's not talking to us right now. We got into fight."
"Yeah, I got into it with Vic too, when she got home." Willow's blood slowly went cold, "I'm trying not to smother her tonight, but part of me didn't wanna let her out of my sight."
"She's here?" Elena breathed out, her breath raising and falling rather quickly as she places her hands on her lips and looked around.
"Yeah, you can't miss her. She's a vampire."
'Figures' Willow thought as she turned to her right, expecting to see Jeremy standing beside her but imagine her horror when she saw the boy was gone.
"Where the hell did Jeremy go?"
"Willow, Elena what's the matter?" Matt said with some alarm, he was confused and now slightly worried as to why the Gilbert siblings are acting like this,
"We've gotta find him." Elena spoke to Willow with panic in her voice before they sped away from Matt.
A while later, Willow let out a sigh of relief when she saw Vicki being escorted out of a room with Stefan.
"Oh thank god." Elena breathed out as she and Willow walk towards the two of them.
"What's the matter?" Stefan asked as Willow shook her head,
"We lost Jeremy," she looks at Vicki with narrowed eyes, "We were worried."
But what didn't help was that Matt approached them, looking like a concerned brother, "What's goin' on?"
"Hey. uh, everything's fine." Stefan tells Matt, but clearly Matt didn't believe that and what made it worse, is that Vicki spoke up, "I told you to quit bothering me." she lies as she tries to play pretend.
"No. Vicki, don't do this." Elena begged but Vicki just looked at her brother, "Matt, he won't leave me alone."
"Matt don't believe her." Willow tries to get Matt to understand but he doesn't.
"You need to back off, man." Matt spoke with a firm voice to Stefan.
"Matt, it's...it's okay."
"No, it's not okay. What the hell is your problem?" Willow could feel the tension as Matt got in Stefan's face.
Willow went to look at Vicki but gasp when she saw that the vampire was gone.
"Oh my god," she yanks on Stefan's arm and Stefan looked down at her, "Stefan, she's gone." she mumbles with a worried tone.
Elena and Willow didn't wait for Stefan, they just ran away from them and into another part of the school.
"Oh, my god. No! stop! Vicki! No! Ah!"
Willow and Elena ran towards the sound of Jeremy's scream.
It took a little bit to find where Jeremy was, but now they found him and had to save him.
Elena picked up a plank of wood and ran towards the scream.
"Vicki!" Elena hollers, earning Vicki's attention.
The vampire looked her way, fangs extended and black veins under her eyes, she tosses Jeremy aside, who fell onto the ground with a thud.
Willow remained in her place as Elena ran towards the vampire, smashing her with the plank.
It didn't do much since Vicki was still living and coming at Elena.
Willow watches in shock as she see's her sister go flying into the air, landing on broken glass and broken pieces of wood and junk.
Willow felt herself start to panic as Vicki started to walk towards her.
But luckily in time, Stefan flashes right in front of her, pushing a growling Vicki into the front of the bus.
Willow moved back, stumbling over her feet and falling to the ground.
"Vicki!" Jeremy shouted as Willow scrambled to her feet once more.
But then it happened, Vicki vanished and everyone froze in fear
Stefan looks at Elena, who was bleeding and groaning in pain before looking at Willow and Jeremy, "Go. get inside. Go!"
Elena, who was gripping her bleeding side, ran away from Stefan, grasping Jeremy's hand in her's and dragged him towards the exit.
Willow followed quickly after.
Just as Elena and her siblings made it inside, Jeremy was pulled back and knocked over, falling into a trashcan filled with pieces of wood.
Vicki grabs Willow, pulling her back outside, and twirled her around and pierced the junction between neck and shoulder.
Willow lets out a piercing scream as she feels Vicki bit down even harder.
Vicki pulled back for a second and was about to feed on Willow once again, but Stefan, who heard the screams, did what he thought was right.
He stabs Vicki with a wooden stake.
She bites Elena. Stefan stabs Vicki with a wooden stake.
Vicki lets Willow go and Willow stumbles backwards, hands flying to her neck where she feels the blood oozing out of the wound.
She watches Vicki gasp, mouth in an "O" shape as she realised what was happening.
Vicki looked down at the stake, shocked and confused.
Willow swore she saw Vicki starting to cry as Stefan removed the long piece of wood out of her body.
At this moment, Stefan started to realise what he had just done.
Willow was frozen in shock as she could vaguely hear her brother crying out for the vampire.
Willow just watches Vicki slowly die right in front of her and hears the cry of Jeremy in the back ground.
After a few minutes, Jeremy was all done crying, Willow looks at Vicki's greyed body and then at Elena and Jeremy, "Stefan, get them out of here."
Stefan pulled out his phone and lead a shocked Elena and Jeremy away from the scene.
As soon as Willow saw the three of them leave, Willow fell onto the ground, tired and broken.
It didn't take long before Damon arrived to the scene, he see's who was on the ground and spoke up "You should go. I got this."
Willow, who had tears in her eyes, looked up, "How could you. This is all because of you." Willow stood up, after having some difficulties and glared at the vampire.
"You confuse me for someone with remorse."
Willow shakes her head, how is this the same man she grew up with, what changed him?
Willow pulls her hand back, and went to slap the vampire but he was quicker, he grasp the hand tightly, making Willow groan and hiss in pain.
"None of this matters to me. None of it." Willow rubs her wrist after Damon let it go.
"What kind of person are you. How can you live with yourself after killing so many people. So many people die around you because fo you and you say it doesn't matter? It matters, and you know it."
Then she did it, she strikes him, making his head turn to the side.
Willow was panting now, breathing heavily as Damon turns to look back at her, eyes cold as they glared at her.
He looked at her neck, seeing and smelling the delicious blood, "Willow, you need to wounds are bleeding and you need to leave." he stressed as he glared at Willow.
Willow snarls, "Didn't stop you before." She mutters in a soft whisper before walking away from the scene, a few tears falling from her eyes.
"Hey."
Willow looks up to see Stefan standing in front of her.
"I brought them home, I was wondering if you needed a ride..."
Willow silently nodded her head and remained silence as Stefan used his vampire speed to get them back to the Gilbert Home.
Willow didn't enter her home, she sat numbly on the front porch swing.
Elena was inside, comforting Jeremy as Stefan and Willow stayed outside.
"Are you okay?"
Willow sighed but just stayed silent.
They stayed silent until Elena came out.
Stefan stood up, his eyes red, as they looked at one another.
"Are you okay?" Elena asks him, and Stefan looked at the ground with a sigh, before looking back up. "I, uh...I wanted to help her. But instead, uh..." Stefan couldn't continue, so he changed the subject, "How's he doin'?" he asks, referring to Jeremy, who was a mess in his bedroom.
"He's a mess. I don't want him going through this again. He's just a kid."
"Elena, what can I do? I...What can I do to help? I'll do anything."
"Can you make him forget?"
"Elena..."
"Stefan, please. I don't know how he'll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened."
"If 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.
"I can do it. If this is what you want...I'll do it." Willow looks to the sidewalk and saw Damon strolling down the path.
"It's what we want." Willow mumbles as she looks at Stefan and Elena with glossy blue eyes.
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asks Elena and Willow, looking back and forth between the siblings.
Willow licks her lips and coughed, "tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back." Willow stated and Elena finished the rest "That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best."
Damon nodded his head and walked onto the porch and entered the house.
Elena sits down next to Stefan on another bench and Willow listened to the conservation.
"Part of me wishes that I could forget, too...Forget meeting you, finding out what you are and everything that's happened since."
"Is that what you want?" Stefan asks Elena, trying to keep himself strong.
Elena inhales deeply before nodding, "Yes, it is. Because I don't want it to be like this. I don't wanna feel like this. But I can't. With everything that's happened...I can't lose the way I feel about you."
After the confession, Damon comes back out of the house, and just says "It's done."
Willow stood up, blue eyes connecting, Willow walks towards Damon, dress flowing around her, and brushes past him and into the house, Elena following after.
Unlike Elena, Willow doesn't want to forget about everything. She doesn't regret meeting Stefan again, definitely Damon, but not Stefan.
