Chapter 10: I warned you
I know my last chapter was a bit blah but I think I picked it up again in this chapter; there is one more chapter left before my break and I pick it back up again when Season 2 starts, review and let me know if you wanna read it; it's a flashback involving Damon and ties into when I start writing more again in a few months :D
Kaylee sat up straight in her bed; her breathing heavy. Kaylee knew it wasn't just a dream as her skin still tingled and she could taste burning flesh in the back of her throat.
Kaylee looked at her alarm clock; 6.30am flashed back at her.
"Close enough" Kaylee sighed to herself as she kicked off her covers and started getting ready for the parade.
Kaylee decided on her black jeans; purple sleeveless butterfly singlet top and her white thin long cardigan.
Kaylee walked to Bonnie's house; Bonnie was ready and waiting on the porch step and smiled as she stood to her feet; making her way to Kaylee who paused at the letter box.
"Hey" Kaylee forced a smile as they started making their way to the parade, her vision kept creeping into her thoughts no matter how hard she tried to push it aside.
"You ok?" Bonnie asked concerned at Kaylee's lifeless eyes.
Kaylee gave the most sincere smile she could muster "Yeah, just tired"
The street came alive with people smiling and cheering as the floats passed all the crowds.
Kaylee couldn't believe how beautiful Caroline and Elena looked and how cute Tyler looked in his costume.
Bonnie watched Kaylee's face as a sincere smile surfaced, Bonnie still wasn't sure whether to ask for Kaylee to help her tonight; she didn't need her and still wasn't sure where her alliance truly fell.
Kaylee suddenly stiffened as she noticed Damon step into view in front of them "I'll catch up with you later" Kaylee smiled and walked off just as Damon started approaching, he was the last person Kaylee wanted to talk too.
Kaylee sat at the grill, knowing she should at least warn Damon about what she saw. Although just as Kaylee was about to stand and approach Damon; Elena beat her to the punch. Of course Kaylee rolled her eyes as they followed Elena who left Damon and moved on to Jeremy. Kaylee could see the resentment in his eyes as he scowled at Elena and walked away with Damon hot on his tail.
Kaylee kept her distance as she followed them outside, still unsure what she would say; knowing Damon would most likely laugh her off.
She watched as Damon growled at Jeremy and grabbed his arm, Kaylee was about to step in when Stefan took control of the situation.
Kaylee could feel herself chickening out as her feet began to step backwards; away from Damon and Stefan.
It was when Stefan noticed Kaylee that she knew she couldn't keep running away; she had to warn Damon about what she saw, whether he believed her or not.
Damon followed Stefan's gaze and saw Kaylee standing a few feet away from them; her arms crossed; Kaylee waved Damon over with her head and started walking away from the grill hoping Damon would be following.
"So now you want to know me, and you think were either one extreme or the other" Damon smirked as he walked by Kaylee's side.
"I, I saw you, in a vision"
"Ohhhh dreaming about me are we, well I'm flattered but I thought"
"This is serious Damon" Kaylee interrupted "You couldn't move and you were surrounded by fire"
Damon shrugged his shoulders "I'll be fine, the device doesn't work anymore"
Kaylee fought back the feeling to tell him that Bonnie hadn't taken off the spell, the last thing she needed was a witch out to get her.
"Damon please just be careful, you" Kaylee couldn't even finish her sentence as she was suddenly overwhelmed by a faint feeling, as if the world had been shaken and spun under her. Damon was by Kaylee's side and she grabbed hold of him as her knees became weak and fell under her. Damon grabbed hold of Kaylee and rushed her to her car; making sure no one saw him blur by.
Damon sat Kaylee up right in her car seat as he watched the colour drain from her face "Kaylee, Kaylee. Can you hear me?" Damon asked for the fifth time.
"Tell him anything and I will have to hurt you, please don't make me hurt you Kaylee; I don't want to hurt you" Kaylee heard Bonnie's voice as if she were right besides her whispering in her ear.
"I'm fine" Kaylee replied faintly to Damon as the world gradually stopped spinning beneath her.
"What just happened?" Damon asked puzzled.
"I get head spins sometimes when a new ability is developing" Kaylee lied "I'm fine seriously" Kaylee smiled trying to reassure him.
"Just a minute ago your eyes were rolling in the back of your head, I hardly call that fine"
"I'm fine now, I just need a cold drink or something" Kaylee stood up slowly to gain her balance back.
"I'll walk you"
Kaylee knew it didn't matter what she said, he was going to walk her whether she liked it or not. Kaylee wanted to tell him; to warn him but she knew Bonnie was set on doing anything it took to keep this town safe.
Damon waited until Kaylee's drink and food arrived at the grill before he left her; he still had a feeling something was off as he thought back to what Kaylee had told him.
It was beginning to get dark as Kaylee sat at the table, the horrible feeling in her gut was becoming stronger and stronger. Kaylee observed all the happy faces and cheers of joy and excitement; she had never felt so out of place in her life; she had to get away.
Kaylee walked to her car, still able to hear the excitement, Kaylee couldn't bring herself to unlock the car no matter how hard she tried. She knew she couldn't just let Damon die, no matter how much of a jerk he is.
Kaylee took a deep breath and put her keys back in her pocket as her phone buzzed to life. Kaylee grabbed the phone "Hello" Kaylee greeted.
"It's Alaric, the vampires are planning on attacking the town" Before Alaric could continue Damon snatched the phone, disagreeing with Alaric completely; after what Damon saw today he knew Kaylee was in no state to play hunter "Get out of here now Kaylee, get home and stay there!"
Kaylee knew she couldn't just leave; the feeling felt like it was consuming her now. She had to follow it and do whatever it is she was meant to.
"Fine" Kaylee replied before hanging up the phone, hoping he didn't check to make sure she wasn't still here, although by the feeling she knew the device would be going off very soon.
Kaylee followed the pull that lead her to a building; people stood outside, waiting. It had been twenty minutes when the fireworks began and they started spreading out.
Kaylee kept hidden as bodies began getting dragged back into the building, she could just make out John; smiling from ear to ear. Of course Kaylee thought to herself.
Kaylee kept her eyes open; waiting for Damon. She knew this was it; this is where Damon is burnt alive.
Kaylee inched closer as the minutes passed by and then she saw him; Damon was being dragged into the building along with all the others.
Kaylee kept out of sight as she walked around the long way; she snuck around the corner and walked right into an officer. He looked at her and grabbed her; pining her against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked, his dark hair seemed to blend in with the night and his brown eyes were dark and harsh.
"Curious, what can I say" Kaylee concentrated on his gun as it floated behind him and hit him in the back of the head.
Kaylee watched as both the officer and gun fell to the ground; she continued walking, the feeling getting stronger as she reached the last corner before she reached the door. Kaylee took a deep breath before she slowly moved her head around the corner to check for anyone who would try and stop her and all of a sudden everything went dark.
Kaylee scanned her surroundings; nothing but trees; the full moon shining down helped light up the forest.
Kaylee felt the cool wind on her bare arms; she looked down to see she was wearing her purple night dress which seemed to soak up the wind, sending shivers down her spine and raising goose bumps on her skin.
Confusion filled her thoughts as she looked around, unsure of how she got here and why she was here. She heard a howl and knew her life was in danger; she immediately began to run; where she didn't know. Just as far away from the howl as possible.
She felt like she had been running for hours when she heard a car drive by; she ran as fast as possible toward the sound until she reached the road which was dead silent. She heard the howl as if it was right beside her and looked behind her although there was nothing, not even a rustle in the wind.
Kaylee looked forward; her heart immediately began beating out of her chest. A figure stood still; facing her on the other side of the road. Kaylee could barely make out the figure, although it looked like a huge wolf sitting and waiting; as if it knew Kaylee was scared frozen where she stood.
It began to slowly step toward Kaylee, taking it's time as if it wanted Kaylee to run. Kaylee couldn't move an inch, she tried to step back although nothing happened.
It pulled back its lips showing its sharp teeth, Kaylee gasped as the teeth shined underneath the moon light.
Move! Move! Kaylee screamed at herself as the animal got closer.
The animal stared at her and Kaylee felt like she was going crazy as she thought she could read the amusement on the animals face as it got closer.
Kaylee winced as she felt the breath of the animal on her face as it half stood on its hind legs licking its lips as it inched its face further towards Kaylee.
Kaylee woke as she felt her shoulders being shaken. She immediately sat up; still feeling dazed and unsure where she was. Her head throbbed as she gasped to get her breath back; she couldn't shake off what she had just seen as she felt like she could still feel the breath on her face.
"Are you alright?" Stefan asked as he knelled beside Kaylee who looked like she was in shock.
Kaylee scanned the area; she was behind a bush near the entrance of the building. Elena was standing by Stefan; concern written all over her face and Damon stood on the other side of Kaylee; angry she didn't listen to him when he told her to leave but also concerned at the cut on her head; the dried blood stopped just above her eye.
"I told you so" Kaylee glared at Damon as she tried to ignore the throbbing pain which pulsed in her head.
"What's going on?" Stefan asked confused.
"Last night I had a vision, I saw Damon, he couldn't move and the fire surrounded him. I warned him and he didn't listen"
"It's not his fault, Bonnie lied to us all" Elena could hear the anger in her voice.
"What happened to you?" Stefan asked.
"I couldn't leave and I followed my feelings, which lead me to this building, I snuck around and took out the cop who tried to stop me, than I was looking around the last corner and everything went black"
"I told you to leave" Damon hated how how much he seemed to care, that's how it always started and it never ended well.
"I knew, I couldn't" Kaylee couldn't continue talking, knowing she shouldn't have kept it to herself.
"You should get to a hospital" Stefan suggested as he extended his hand to Kaylee who grabbed it and got lifted to her feet gently.
"It's nothing, I need to check on my mum" Kaylee couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was hurt.
"You can call her on the way to the hospital" Damon demanded as he gently grabbed Kaylee's arm and used his speed to get Kaylee to the hospital within a few seconds.
"That's so not fair" Kaylee hissed through her teeth; for some reason she never got use to the feeling, no matter how many times she experienced it.
Kaylee got her cut checked and she didn't even need stitches, Damon left and brought back her car while she was getting checked over by the doctor; he knew he had to tell Jeremy Anna was killed.
It had been half an hour when she walked out and down the hallway; she froze as soon as she saw Matt and Sheriff Forbes waiting.
Kaylee had called her mother while the doctor gave her a check up and was relieved she wasn't hurt, Kaylee had hoped she was just worrying about nothing but now seeing them here made her realise something serious had gone down.
"What happened?" Kaylee asked as she reached them, they both looked up at her; their faces full of worry.
"Caroline, she has internal bleeding" Matt choked out.
"Wasn't Tyler with you?"
Kaylee noticed both their faces fall even further "He called his mother and left, his father was killed tonight" Liz replied, still feeling overwhelmed by the events that had happened tonight.
Kaylee sat down beside them speechless and shocked at everything that had happened in the last few hours.
"She's going to be ok right?" Kaylee asked, hoping Tyler didn't do anything to stupid.
"They don't know" Liz replied, strained and tired.
Kaylee spent the next hour at the hospital before Liz woke her up and told her to go home and get some sleep; she said her goodbyes to Matt and drove home.
Kaylee still felt half asleep when she walked up to the front door with her key in hand.
"Hey" Damon greeted as he stepped out of the shadows.
Kaylee dropped her keys as she jumped from being startled by Damon appearing out of nowhere.
Damon grabbed the keys off of the ground and held them out in front of her before she could even start to bend down to retrieve them.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Kaylee asked as she grabbed the keys from his hand.
"Sorry, just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing"
"I'm fine"
"You could have been killed Kaylee, what you did was stupid"
Kaylee rolled her eyes at Damon who sounded like her mother "I'm fine and luckily you are too, maybe next time you will believe me"
Damon began to speak and then stopped, he didn't want Kaylee thinking he was all good hearted and such "I'm sorry for acting like such a jerk and for the record I wasn't just using you to make Elena jealous" Damon hated how he was showing the part of himself he tried so hard to hide.
Kaylee had no idea what to say, it was the last thing she expected to come out of Damon's mouth; an apology; hell definitely must have frozen over Kaylee thought to herself.
"Well thanks I think" Kaylee replied.
Damon smirked and then was gone in a blink of her eye, Kaylee still couldn't believe what he had said to her, and she definitely never thought Damon would show his sensitive side to her ever.
Kaylee unlocked the door and walked inside; her mother sat on the couch watching a movie, completely exhausted and grateful Kaylee was alive and well.
"Hey, honey" She smiled at Kaylee.
Kaylee sat beside her and leaned her head on her mother's shoulders; glad she didn't get the news Tyler did.
Kaylee just wanted to know if he was safe and ok.
A few hours had passed when a knock on the door woke Kaylee from her sleep, her mum had already gone to bed and placed a blanket over her and left her on the couch.
Kaylee slowly made her way to the door, wondering who would be knocking at this time in the morning.
Tyler stood in front of her, swaying side to side with a bottle in his hand.
"Hey" Tyler slurred as he took another swig from his bottle.
Kaylee stood aside and let him in; Tyler walked to the couch and sat down. He still couldn't believe his father was gone.
Kaylee felt relieved Tyler wasn't out on the street drinking; Kaylee closed the door and sat beside him, unsure of what to say. Kaylee could tell he had been crying by the redness around his eyes and his blotchy face.
Kaylee sat right beside Tyler and grabbed the bottle off him, he leaned his head on her thigh; tired of everything.
Kaylee ran her hands through his hair as she tried to help him relax, she could feel his body shaking and tears followed. Kaylee leaned across to the table in front of her and grabbed the tissues and passed them to Tyler. Kaylee could tell Tyler was fighting back the tears as much as possible as she continued running her hands through his hair, seeing Tyler crying made her want to cry.
"It's going to be ok" Kaylee tried reassuring Tyler.
Part of him felt ashamed for crying like this in front of someone else and part of him didn't care, Kaylee always seemed to be able to help soothe his pain and help him relax.
"I shouldn't be here" Tyler choked out, angry he couldn't stop himself from coming here.
"Yes you should Tyler, I'm here for you" Kaylee was surprised at how calm she was and how all her bitterness and anger towards Tyler seemed to shrivel up and disappear once she heard his father was dead.
Once Tyler finally fell asleep she gently moved off of the couch and grabbed some pillows and blankets along with the single foam mattress. She gently placed the pillow under Tyler's head and placed a blanket over him and then made her bed in front of the couch; she still couldn't shake off the vision she had of the large wolf toying with her.
Remember to review please, thanks guys :D
