I do not own VD...BUT I WANNA'! Crying
The town square was transformed into something magical. The trees were lit up with pretty lights; there was a big buffet lined up in the corner; there were small round tables for 4 and 2, lined up on the sides; and in the middle of it all, there was an empty space playing the role of the dance floor. People were dancing, talking, sitting and eating, etc.
I took a deep breath and made my way to the entrance. Someone standing at the entrance took my shawl.
"Thank you", I murmured.
I started looking around, in search of Tyler. One tree had decorative mirrors of every shape and size hanging from it. I stopped to check my appearance. My mask was back in place and fortunately, my dress wasn't wrinkled. My hair, on the other hand, was hanging open. I made a side-mark with my hands and tried to get it in place. There wasn't anything I could do about my hair now.
"Just great! Where is Tyler?"
"Hello beautiful. Since you're looking for Tyler, I take it you're En."
I turned around to face the one person I didn't want to meet for the moment.
"Good evening, Damon."
He wore a tuxedo and looked extremely good…..okay, that was an understatement. I guess Damon couldn't recognise me since my mask covered most of my face. But that didn't stop him from giving me an appreciative look with a silent whistle.
Why him…why now! I thought warily.
"Ouch…and here I thought we were already close and acquainted. Why the formality, sweetheart?"
He brought out his most charming smile and took my hand.
"Now…" He looked me in the eye. "Come with me and everything will be fine tonight."
It was the same as that day in the café. It felt as he was trying to bend me to his will.
"Thank you, but no Damon. I think I would rather look for Tyler," I said with a slight frown.
My statement seemed to have caught him by surprise.
Hasn't he ever been refused before? I wondered.
"Speaking of which", I continued. "Where is he anyway?" I asked Damon, searching the crowd.
"Don't worry. He's around here somewhere", a new voice spoke.
I had heard this voice before…
"Stefan. About time brother", said Damon.
Stefan!
I first thing I encountered about him was a pair of deep-set, forest green eyes. Stefan also wore a tux, not unlike his brother.
"I did say that I would be on time, brother", he replied to Damon.
He turned to me. "Hi, I am Stefan. Damon's brother", he smiled. "You must be En, Tyler's friend."
I smiled and replied, "Hello."
Stefan had a brooding, mysterious and intense aura around him. It was just so…magnetic.
"Tyler's here at the party but he's currently…" Stefan glanced at Damon before continuing, "Occupied."
I bit my lip in concern. With every passing minute, I grew even more concerned for Tyler.
"He did say to watch out for you though", said Damon.
"He said for me to watch out for you", said Stefan, looking pointedly at Damon.
"Okay okay", sighed Damon. "You get to have the lady's company." He took my hand and placed a light kiss. "…for now." He finished mischievously.
"Don't mind my brother", said Stefan, as we watched Damon's retreating back disappear in the crowd.
"Has he always been so… charming?"
"I am afraid, yes." Stefan smiled.
Stefan led me to a table and I reluctantly followed his lead. Right then, I wished I had a cell phone. But of course, I had discarded it since I didn't want to be found by my coven. I had no way to contact Tyler.
"I noticed that neither you nor Damon have worn masks. Do you not like the theme?" I was trying to make conversation.
"No, it's not that," Stefan replied with a smile. "I've had enough of hiding behind masks to last me en eternity."
'Eternity'. What…like 'Vampire eternity'?
"I hear you're from New York. What brought you out to this small town?"
Before I could reply… "Stefan! Stefan, where's Tyler?"
A blonde wearing a knee length, baby blue dress, hurried towards Stefan. Her soft, blonde curls were shoulder length and framed her pretty face. Her blue green eyes were wide with concern.
"Stefan, where is-..." The blonde realized my presence. She shot Stefan a glance.
"Caroline, this is En", Stefan introduced.
Caroline…
"Oh…so we finally meet." She shot Stefan a nervous look which didn't pass unknown to me. "Urmm…he talks a lot about you."
It was obvious she was making small talk to cover up her previous blunder. Why was she so worried? Where is Tyler!
"Yes, likewise but where is Tyler?" I asked with a frown, which might have not been visible since my face was still hidden under my mask.
Stefan answered, "Don't worry. I said he's-" His cell buzzed. Stefan read the message and frowned. "En, I think you should go home now. Tyler will be home shortly."
"Wait, what?" I uttered in surprise.
Stefan messaged someone and said, "A friend of mine, Matt, will be at the entrance waiting to drop you home. Caroline, come with me."
Before I could protest, they disappeared in the crowd.
What in the….
"I am not goin-" I gasped. I felt magic. Not just any magic, but a real powerful spell. Along with that, I felt Tyler's presence. He wasn't alone, there were others too. Same…but different.
"No, something's not right," I gasped.
Tyler!
I ran towards the source of my discomfort. The same feeling, same energy, that I felt from Tyler and the others.
Just what is going on?! Tyler, please be okay!
It led me out of the Town Square and into the woods a small distance away from the party. I ran and ran, deep into the woods. Suddenly, I stopped. I heard voices.
"Bonnie, hurry up. Sometime this week, please!"
Damon.
I heard a crashing sound. "Tyler! Klaus, let him go!"
I ran full speed out into the clearing. Damon was sprawled onto his back, trying to get up. Stefan was stuck hanging onto a tree by a stake through his chest. He was grunting in agony. Caroline was standing beside two girls. One of which was chanting something furiously. She was the source of the magic and the spell. She's a witch.
In front of them was a circle of fire. Inside was Tyler with a guy. Tyler was gripped by his neck by the other guy. What was really shocking was that the guy's face. The pupils of his eyes were cat-like, his face had veins showing like it were swollen. I could actually see the blood rushing through the blackish veins. He had fangs which were bared and pointed at Tyler's neck.
I gasped loudly. "Tyler!"
I'm begging! Please review! :'(
