Chapter 14

Alicia's POV

It's been at least a few hours, since we locked Stefan in the basement. And I feel bad for him. He didn't mean to attack me or Amber. Or threaten to almost kill me. Okay, so maybe locking him in the basement is a good thing. But anyways I'm sitting in the living room, with Percy. And he's being as stupid as always. I mean I like Percy and all but sometimes I just want to slap him.

"So," I started to make conversation. "When do you think we'll have to go back to camp?"

"Probably soon," Percy answered.

"Truth is I don't want to go back. I just feel like I belong here more than camp or Olympus," I admitted. I can't believe I just told Percy all of that.

"Really, I didn't know that you felt like that," Percy said. He was watching me intently.

"This is getting kinda awkward for my taste. So I'm going to go find Damon or Elena," I said getting out of the chair.

"What am I too weird to hang around with?" Percy asked, but I ignored him and kept walking. I knew where Damon and Elena were but I decried to walk around the house for a while.

Sadly I ran into Aramis, the last person I wanted to talk to. It's not like I don't like him, he's best friend and all, but I just don't want to talk to him. He's been acting weird around me lately and I don't know why.

"Alicia, I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I just can't take it here anymore. It's too much drama for me to handle," Aramis apologized. He was looking straight into my eyes.

"So you're leaving because it's too much drama. Aramis, we've been through so much drama it's not funny. You've never been the one to back out of something and don't start now," I said.

"Fine you caught me there. It's just...you guys seem to get by fine without me here. And I just feel like I'm not needed, so I'm gonna leave."

"We need you, you need to help Stefan and Damon reach their potential of being great alias for Olympus," I pressed on.

"Fine, I'll stay. For now," Aramis sighed and walked away. I smiled and walked downstairs to the basement. Elena was sitting there and so was Damon. Once Damon saw me, he smiled.

"How's he doing?" I asked them.

"Not so good," Elena answered. "I'm gonna go home and grab somethings and be back."

"So how are you doing?" Damon asked me.

"I've been better. But I need to tell you something, that's important," I admitted.

"What's that?"

"It's not Stefan's fault for getting Katherine and other vampire's inside the tomb," I said.

"What do you mean?" Damon asked curiously.

"It's Athena's fault. She's the one who told the founding families about Mystic Falls in the first place. Which was vampire infested at the time. They all lived in the woods and fed on travelers passing by. But once the founding families started building the town, the vampires came out and acted like they were normal people also. Then once you and Stefan started to fall for Katherine, who was secretly working for Athena, she acted like she was spiked with vervain. Then Athena acted like a normal towns person and told the founding families all the vampires in town. Then put them in the church and burned it to the ground. But she didn't know that the vampires survived and are siding with the minor vampires ,who are rebelling against Athena."

"So all this time it was Athena who was messing with Katherine. Telling her to love us," Damon said shaking his head.

"But think of it this way, if you didn't turn into a vampire we wouldn't be together at all," I said moving closer to Damon.

"That is true," Damon smirked.

"So tell me...why do you bring Stefan misery?" I asked.

Damon then gave me a giant explanation and I finally understood him better. I guess today has been good to us both.
