Chapter 11

Old Enemies Return

Alice POV

Last time on the Life of Mary Alice Salvatore:

All of a sudden, I heard Jasper gasp. I looked up off the ground to see a woman who looked exactly like Elena but with curly hair stand in front of me. She had a arrogant aura about her and she was standing smirking. Katherine! I… I didn't know what to do. I knew one day she was bound to come back, but I didn't expect it to be here and now!

"Maria," whispered Jasper in a disbelieving tone. Maria?

…. The Life of Mary Alice Salvatore….. The Life of Mary Alice Salvatore…..

'Maria?' I thought as I regarded the woman who looked exactly like my uncle's current girlfriend. She was wearing black leather pants, a white shirt and then a black leather jacket to match her "biker" pants. 'Is she really the one who turned Jasper into a vampire in the first place?' I kept thinking as I stared shocked at her. I couldn't move or even blink.

In the short time my brain ran around in circles, Jasper had stood up and dashed for Katherine with his Vampire speed. Katherine, being older, dodged his attempts at catching her and started laughing. The whole way she ran, walked and even looked screamed arrogance, evilness and power.

I got up and dashed for her as well. I knew it would be futile since our movement was powered by anger and she was older than us, but I couldn't just stand there. She destroyed my life back in 1864. I was not about to let her destroy it again, not when I just started to get things the way I wanted them.

"Aw, isn't that cute? The little Southern solider and the kitten like damsel," Katherine chuckled still dodging our dashes. I managed to punch her, but right before it hit her, she grabbed my wrist. She was twisting it so bad, I thought it might snap. If I were human, it was sure to have.

"Seriously, Jasper? Her? She can barely even hold her own in a fight, what were to happen if she were to need to defend someone? I feel sorry to everyone who is related to her." Katherine mocked me as she twisted me around to face Jasper. I kept a straight face since I didn't want to alarm Jasper.

"Let her go, Maria. This is between me and you; it has nothing to do with her." He declared with a glare. Not surprisingly, Jasper kept a straight face even thought mine failed for a minute when she tugged hard on my twisted wrist.

"What would be the fun in that?" she asked in a sarcastic tone as she spun me around. My head collided with a thick branch from a tree and I could feel some thick liquid trickle down my neck. Then the smell hit me; I was bleeding. I concentrated on keeping a straight face as I looked up to see Jasper. I needed him to believe I was okay, even if I wasn't. I needed him to believe I was okay because if he didn't, he was sure to do something stupid.

"Well, Jasper, what's it going to be?" I head Katherine ask Jazz. I was too busy concentrating on keeping a straight face that I hadn't heard what she had previously purposed.

"Me, take me." I looked at Jasper very confused at what he just stated. I scrunched my eyebrows at him. for some unknown reason, I felt very fuzzy, as if the whole world was just one big hazy picture. I was suddenly released from Katherine's death grip and thrown to the ground.

Katherine made her way behind Jasper and… bit him? I think that's what she did. It looks like that's what she did. Jasper kept a poker face on the whole time, but when she was done, she did something that made my blood boil even more! She kissed him! On the mouth as well.

She was kissing him, but of course he wasn't kissing back. Jasper's blood was smeared all around his face. One big humiliation for Vampires is the having another Vampire drink your blood and then smear it around your face. That was what Katherine, or better yet, Maria was doing.

Then in a gush of wind, she was gone with a fit of laugher echoing in the air. Jasper suddenly tipped forward. I rushed over to catch him and did. I gently set him on the ground, his poker face falling by the second. He looked extremely weak and my heart burned for him.

"Here, here, drink this." I ordered him as I bit into my wrist and brought it to his mouth. He tried to resist at first, but I yelled his name and then he complied. He sucked down blood while I stroked his head and hair. Tears started forming on my face, but I tried my best to wipe them away before Jasper could find out. I couldn't believe this was happening all over again. First, Dad, then Stefan and now Jasper too?

I swore to myself I wouldn't let her get the best of me again, I swore to myself I wouldn't let her take someone else away from me. This recollection made my tears freeze on my face, literally. I was very angry and all I could think about was destroying her for good.

Jasper's sucking stopped and I looked down. His head was resting on my lap and he had the saddest expression I've ever seen on him. It made my heart weep, but my head cry out in anger. I hated her! How could she do this? Why is it that I always have to be in the middle of these things? Is she mad at Jasper because he ran away from her? I hadn't the answer to these questions so I decided to devote all my energy in to make Jasper get up and go back home.

I managed to make him stand up, getting him into the car was easy though, since he had regained some of his strength when he drank my blood. Taking a deep breath, I got into the car and drove back to the boarding house. When I parked the car in frenzy in front of the large front door, Stefan, Damon and Elena were outside. They all had worried expressions on their faces.

"What happened?" asked Stefan as he helped Jasper out of the car. He was still pretty beat.

"Maria attacked him," I chose my words carefully. I wrapped my arms around my waist as if I were cold, because I was. There was a chill going up and down my spine every time I thought of her.

"How'd you guys know we were coming?" I asked Damon as he reached for me and gently pulled me inside the house. I was kind of tired from the blood loss, but not as beat as Jasper.

"We could hear the tires squealing miles away!" yelled Stefan from the front of the house. Jasper had an arm around his shoulder and Stefan was holding him up while helping him move.

"Who is Maria?" asked Elena as she helped Jasper as well.

"The vampire who made me," came Jasper's voice from between Stefan and Elena. He sounded so tired and hurt. I winced as he spoke. Damon wrapped his arms around me tighter. As we walked into the house, I couldn't help but look around to assure myself that she wasn't here right now, but I couldn't be 100% sure. That freaked me out more than I could say.

When we got inside the house, I turned quickly and locked the door. Damon looked at me with a concerned expression, but didn't say anything, for which I was grateful for. He picked me up and flew up the stairs. He put me down in my bed and pulled up the covers for me. When I reached out to touch him, he grabbed my wrist. That's when I remembered that that was the wrist that Jasper had bitten. I looked up at my father, expecting him to freak, but surprisingly, he bent down and kissed my wrist, then gently set it down on the bed.

"I'll go get you some soup." He declared and he left. I set my head on the pillow and found myself falling into darkness.

"When I woke up, it was bright and shiny; it was morning. I groaned as I flipped over and felt soreness raking though my body.

"School! I've got to get to school." I remembered as I jumped out of bed and ran to shower. After the first spurt of cold water hit my face, I remembered everything that happened the day before. Maria, Jasper, his blood, my blood and soup. I gasped as I remembered everything that happened. I finished up my shower quickly and put on a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt that said; "I went to the afterlife and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." It fit me perfectly and I thought it was funny. Stefan had gotten it for me last time he visited San Francisco.

"Hello?" I called out when I got out of my room. I closed my eyes to concentrate on my hearing, but all I could hear was breathing coming from the guest bedroom. I guess everyone else just left. I thought as I first knocked on the guest bedroom and then quietly opened the door.

Jasper was lying on the bed, sleeping like an angel. I smiled at the ordeal and tip-toed to his bed. I kicked off my shoes and got into bed with him. Resting my head on his chest, I pulled the covers up on us. We stayed that way for about 30 minutes before he started to stir. I was just about to fall asleep when I felt a hand weave its fingers through my loose hair. I looked up and saw Jasper looking down at me with a smile. He reached down and kissed me on the nose. I giggled.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him as I sat up. He pulled me back down before I could sit up fully and tickled me.

"Better now that you're here." He declared as he kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at him as he wrapped an arm around my waist. Humming, he stroked my hair until I felt extremely relaxed.

"What happened to school?" he inquired. It took me a couple of minutes to reply.

"Huh? Oh, yeah; school. Well, I was going to go and then I decided not to." I replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, really?" he asked me as a eye brow became hidden in his mass of blond, curly hair.

"Yup," I popped the p.

"I think you should have gone." He stated and he started playing with my hair.

"And leave you to wake up alone? I don't think so. Besides, it's only one day, I'll be fine. In case you forgot, I already did this semester in San Francisco." I retaliated.

"Maybe, but I hear the history here is different." That statement from him made me look up and openly glare.

"I hate you." I tell him with a pout.

"And I love you." He kissed my pout away.

"Huh, well, isn't this a cozy sight?" the voice of Damon called out from next to the bed. I ripped my face away from Jasper's and turned to him. My face was as red as a lobster by then.

"Why must you always interrupt us in our private moments?" asked Jasper as he sat up and moved me to sit on his lap. Damon rolled his eyes and sat on the bed.

"My daughter; my right to interrupt." He declared.

"My future wife; my right to have private time with her without you involved." Came Jasper's come back. I laughed at his attempt to push Damon off the bed. He just came and sat next to me from the other side of the bed.

"Not yet." He says in a spooky manner. I roll my eyes at both of them and get up. I walk on the bed until I reach the end and the hop off.

"You two are impossible!" I call out as I got to the huge suitcase on the table and pulled out some clothes for Jasper to change into.

"Aw, come on, Allie. We were just playing." Jasper called out as I walked back to the bed with his clothes. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to him. Kissing me on the mouth, he hugged me to his body. I had resisted at first, but then I just let him kiss me.

"Uh, hello, I'm still here!" Came an annoyed voice from my right. I ignored it and ran my fingers through Jasper hair. It was unsurprisingly very soft.

An hour later, Jasper and I were walking down town right by the Mystic Grill. We were talking about yesterday and how we were going to fix it.

"I haven't told them. I just said Maria attacked you. They don't know that Maria turned out to be Katherine." I told Jasper while we stepped into the park in front of the Café.

We walked for about a minute or so before he replied; "I know, but if Katherine's back then she wants something." He concluded.

"Trust me, I know that more than anything." I replied as I sat down on a stone bench far awy from anyone to hear us.

"What can we do? We need to warn Stefan and Damon." He told me as he too, sat down on the bench.

"I just…" I trailed off as I looked at him. "I just never thought she would have been the one to have changed you too." I said as I rub my face, willing the tears to not fall. Jasper put a hand under my chin and pushed it up.

"Neither did I, Darlin', but we have to deal with is quickly. It doesn't really matter, anyway. All that does matter; is that I love you, not her. I'm not going to let her hurt you, I promise." He cooed. I smiled a warm smile at him and said;

"You already did save me."

"And I'm going to continue to do that. You just watch." He told me as he kissed my forehead.

Neither did I or Jasper know that there was someone watching us. Someone who was promised something and has yet to receive what he was promised.

A/N: Hey, Guys. And there was chapter 11! I hoped you liked it. I know not that much happened in the chapter, but I'm still working on it. I wonder who is watching them? :P I can be very evil sometimes. :P Can you guys guess what was promised to mystery man or woman? I bet not, but if you can; go ahead and guess.
