Faith's POV
I had just come out of the shower while Anna was at the hospital getting more blood. I heard someone walk in and I hid immediately because the only thing that I was wearing was a pair of panties and I did feel like letting have Stefan or Damon (Or Rose who had been bitten by some bitch last night and was now dying) see my naked breasts.
"Faith?" I heard Elena's voice. I stepped out. "You're standing right behind me, aren't you?"
She turned around and saw me…and then started kissing me. I was really glad that Anna did not walk in at that moment. I pulled away after a few seconds.
"Why are you ruining the moment?" She asked.
"Elena you dumped me for cheating on you." I pointed out as I began to look for some clothes. I put on a dark grey sweatshirt without a bra and black pants. "So why are you here?"
"Well I wanted to see if you were okay." She replied.
"And you do that by deciding to hump me?" I questioned.
"I didn't plan on that." She admitted. "So do you know that Lucy made a deal with Elijah? Apparently he'll just kill Klaus and we don't have to do anything."
"Yeah, I really can't say that I trust him that much." I replied. "There is someone that I think might be able to help us, though you're not going to like it."
"Who?" She asked.
"I think that Isobel might be able to tell us what we're up against." I explained.
"What, how can you possibly think that talking to her is a good idea?" She questioned.
"Well at least I know where I stand with her." I pointed out. "I don't know anything about Elijah other than he's Klaus's brother, which makes it kind of hard for me to trust him."
"Elijah hasn't made me distrust him." Elena pointed out. "So, Damon said that you need to start drinking vervain so you can't be compelled by the Originals."
I grabbed a bottle which I kept it my desk for safe keeping and took a sip from it. It felt like I was straight up drinking acid. I fell to my knees in a coughing fit.
"What did you do to her?" Anna asked as she entered the room and grabbed me as I was able to catch my breath.
"She didn't do…anything." I croaked. "I drank some vervain."
"I still think that you should go." Anna suggested. Elena then walked out. "You know that you need your uniform for the barbecue today, don't you?"
I then began to undress and grabbed a sports bra and quickly put my uniform on. Anna and I then went downstairs and found my mother, who was seeing me in it for the first time.
"You never told me that you were a cheerleader." She replied. "You know I used to cheer for the Timberwolves when I was your age. I can't believe that they took the school's name off the uniform though."
I really hoped that Alaric would be at the barbecue because he was kind of the only person that might possibly know how to contact Isobel.
Lucy's POV
I walked into the boarding house, looking for Stefan. I was wearing a strapless dress consisting of vertical alternating red and blue stripes. I didn't immediately find Stefan, but I found Damon with Rose, who honestly looked terrible. I heard that she had bitten by a werewolf last night.
"You look great." Damon lied to her. "Doesn't she look great, Lucy?"
"Sure." I declared. "So have you seen Stefan?"
"He was going elsewhere and I have somewhere else to be too, so I need you to watch Rose." He remarked. Before I could protest, he had already run off. That was something that I hated about vampires. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with a sick vampire.
"So do you wanna play poker or something?" I asked awkwardly.
Faith's POV
I arrived at the school with Anna and my mom. I knew that she was soon going to meet with Sheriff Forbes and Mayor Lockwood to get her legally brought back to life. I wanted to find Alaric, but before I got the chance, I found Amber also in her uniform.
"Amber Bradley, I haven't seen you since you were six." Mom told her as she gave her a hug.
"It's good to see you again, Mrs. Salvatore." Amber remarked. "Faith told me that you were alive, but we haven't had a lot of face-to-face meetings lately."
"Well being trapped in a tomb kind of prevents that." I quipped.
"Faith, can I talk to you about something in private?" She asked. I headed down the hall with her. "So would you be okay if I were to ask Elena on a date?"
"You wanna go out with Elena?" I questioned in surprise. "I kind of have a huge crush on her, but I don't want to do anything that will make you hate me."
"Well to be honest, I think that Elena still has feelings for me because she kissed me this and I don't know if I still have feelings for her." I admitted. "Could you give me a little more time to figure this out? Once I get it resolved, I'll let you know if I'm okay with it."
"Okay." She told me.
"So, do you know if Mr. Saltzman is here by any chance because I need to talk to him?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think I saw him here." She remarked. "Check his classroom."
He was in there with a glass of something that he probably shouldn't have had at the school.
"So Damon's got me looking for a cure for Rose, but I don't think there is." He explained.
"Well I need to talk to you about something." I stated. "Do you still by any chance have a way to contact Isobel?"
"I don't think she would know anything about a cure." He remarked.
"No, but she might be able to help us find a way to kill Klaus." I responded.
"Even if she did, I doubt that she would help us." He pointed out.
"I just want to take a chance on it so we don't put all of our eggs in Elijah's basket." I replied.
"I have an old number. I'll try to find it and I'll text it to you if I do." He said. "Just know that you need to be wary of anything that she says because I don't trust her."
"Trust me, I don't trust her either, but sometimes you have to work with your enemies to stop an even greater enemy." I reminded him.
Lucy's POV
I decided to help Rose into bed. She was coughing up blood as I did.
"I haven't a cold in half a century." She groaned as I put the covers over her.
"Well it's not really a cold." I pointed out. "Just try to get some rest. Damon's out trying to find a cure."
She went to sleep for a minute and I stayed with her before she suddenly woke up with a glazed look in her eyes.
"Rose?" I asked.
"Katerina." She growled as she bore her teeth to me.
"Rose, I'm Lucy. Katherine's dead." I told her. She still looked very angry and I decided that it would be a good idea to run. She soon began to chase after me, but she grabbed onto me and I did the most rational thing that I could do and opened the blinds, causing sunlight to pour in and burn her. She ran away to the shadows upstairs. I decided that it might be a good idea to grab a stake. I went upstairs to see if I needed to do anything. I still wasn't entirely sure what I was doing because I had never staked a vampire before. I knew that I wasn't supposed to kill her, but I imagined that Damon valued my life over hers. It was just a hunch.
"Lucy, I'm sorry." I heard her say through the door. "I'm not going to kill you."
I wasn't sure how much I believed her. It seemed that the bite was really messing with her head. As far as I knew, a werewolf bite to human did not spread lycanthropy. It was just a normal animal bite, not that I would want to be bitten by a wolf. I decided to keep the stake in my stocking time being unless I could be sure that she wasn't going to attack me again.
Faith's POV
I eventually prepared to eat and went to wash my hands in the bathroom, even though I didn't need to, mainly because it was a force of habit. I heard someone in one of the stalls and I realized that it was Caroline. She was just standing there. I decided to open it and see why.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I'm hiding from Matt." She told me.
"Why are you hiding from Matt?" I followed.
"Earlier today when I was talking to him, he kissed me." She explained.
"I don't really see the problem with that." I admitted. "Things aren't like before. You seem to have a lot of control right now, more than I do even."
"Yeah, but I almost killed him." She pointed out. "I would have drained him had you and Anna not stopped me."
"There will always be problems with dating a human." I told her. "But you and Matt were good together and I think that you can get that back again."
"But things are complicated right now and one of those complications is a person. Specifically, that person is Tyler." She explained.
"Do you like Tyler?" I asked in surprise. I knew from my reading that generally werewolves and vampires didn't date.
"I don't know if I like him, but I'm pretty sure that he likes me." She answered.
"Well I can't tell you what to do with your love life." I explained. I couldn't believe that there were so many love triangles right now. Jeremy liked Bonnie, but there was also this guy named Luca. Lucy was with Stefan, but I was pretty sure that Damon liked her too and then there was the mess of my love life, which now had Amber in it.
I noticed that Caroline wasn't still around, so it looked like I would have to lead the girls in the cheer. Thankfully, we had practiced it enough that I pretty much had it memorized. I decided to gather all of the girls.
"Okay, some Anna and I will be flying." I explained. "Everyone else, you know your roles as bases."
"Why is Anna going to be flying?" Elena asked.
"Because Anna and I are the shortest." I explained. "I imagine that no one wants to be dropped and end up in a wheelchair, so get in the place that I tell you."
"Where's Caroline?" Dana questioned.
"She bailed, so I'm in charge." I stated. "Now let's get this right."
Once we were ready, everyone went to the gym to watch us. We were basically doing a cheer to thank all of the people who had donated to the football team. Yeah, it was pretty much all men, making what we were doing pretty disgusting and misogynistic.
Lucy's POV
I went to check on Rose once again and I found that she wasn't in the bed. In fact, she wasn't in the house at all. She had escaped. That was not good. I decided to call Damon.
"How's Rose?" He asked.
"Gone." I answered.
"You let her escape?" He questioned in disbelief.
"I don't need a lecture. I just need your help finding her." I replied.
Faith's POV
I was headed outside when I got the number from Alaric. I prepared to call it before I heard something coming from outside. I walked out and saw that Rose seemed to be gnawing on the janitor's body.
"Rose, what are you doing?" I asked her. She just growled at me before she attacked. She looked rabid. I didn't know if whatever she had could be spread by biting, but I didn't want to find out. I did the sensible thing and I stabbed her with a mop in the heart. Before I could do anything about the body, I was discovered by Sheriff Forbes.
"What happened?" She asked.
"This woman attacked me." I explained. "Her mouth was covered in blood, so I figured that she was a vampire, so I thought quickly and threw this at her. Is she dead?"
"Yes, she's dead." She replied. "But it looks like she got to someone first. You should head inside and don't tell anyone about this."
I had a feeling that Damon would be upset that I had killed her, but I didn't really have a choice because I didn't know if werewolf bites were contagious. It might be something that I should ask Isobel if I got the chance to talk to her. I hoped that she would talk to me. I decided to call the number and waited for someone to answer. I heard the phone pick up and immediately began to speak.
"I know this is strange but I need some help dealing with the Originals and the sacrifice." I explained to her.
"I can help you with that." A voice that was definitely not Isobel replied.
"Oh for the love, you've got to be kidding me." I replied.
Lucy's POV
Shortly after we left, Damon got a call from Sheriff Forbes saying that they had killed a vampire that matched Rose's description. Damon's looked pretty upset by it.
He looked like he needed a hug, even though he probably wouldn't admit it. I decided to give it to him. I saw a small smile form on his face.
"I'm sorry about Rose." I told him. "I know that she was your friend."
"Thank you." He responded.
Faith's POV
I found Anna and my mom as we headed home.
"So was Alaric able to find the number for Isobel so you could ask her to help us?" Anna asked.
"Well he managed to find the number, but Isobel wasn't exactly who answered the phone." I explained. "It was kind of answered by John."
So Amber likes Elena, but as you can see things are still complicated between her and Elena. Also John is coming back. Please don't forget to review.
