Chapter 13: Fell Trouble
Sakura's phone rang, waking her up. She reached her hand out, to try to reach it in the spot it always was. Instead of finding her phone, she ran into skin, and of the muscular variety.
"Well aren't you feeling frisky today," Sakura opened her eyes and turned to see Damon, lying in bed, shirtless.
She was about to tell him to get out, when she noticed she wasn't in her own room. In fact, she was in Damon's, on his bed. "What's going on?" Sakura remembered passing out, but that was it. "You brought me here instead of home?" Sakura questioned him.
"Well, you are here enough, it's like a second home. Besides, I wanted to talk with you," Damon sat up and looked at her.
"First off, I have to go to school and get another earful from Leilani. Secondly, put a shirt on," Sakura looked away and Damon pouted.
Sakura sat up and swung her feet off of the bed, and dashed towards the door. Before even getting to take a step, Damon appeared in front of her, wiggling a finger at her. "No you don't," Damon said. Sakura tried to go around him anyways, he grabbed he by her waist and threw her onto the bed. She went to sit up again, but Damon pushed her wrists against the bed and straddled her waist, to stop her. "This is fun and all, but I really do have some things to ask you," Damon stated.
"Damon," Stefan called upstairs, "Sheriff Forbes is here for you." Sakura was glad he didn't come upstairs, who knows what he might of thought.
"Coming," Damon yelled back. "Guess it will have to wait," Damon pouted as got off of her and grabbed a shirt and ran downstairs.
Sakura sighed and got up. She tested her shoulder, it had healed, but was on the stiff side. She left Damon's room and peaked downstairs, past the railing to see Damon going outside with the Sheriff. Stefan was on the couch trying to listen in on the conversation. Sakura needed to get past Stefan and head to school. She tip-toed down the stairs, keeping an eye on Stefan. She reached the bottom of the stairs and turned to leave, but ran into Stefan.
"When did you get here?" Stefan asked as he looked down at her. Sakura laughed nervously and took a few steps back.
"I'd love to talk Stef, but I have to go to school," Sakura stated. Stefan eyed her suspiciously and moved out of her way. "Thanks," Sakura rushed away from him.
"I still want to know what's going on," Stefan stated. Sakura ran out the front door and made a mad dash for school, hoping the Sheriff didn't see her leaving.
Sakura was late for school, and didn't have any of her books. She sighed as she looked at the Career Fair signs. Instead of thinking about that though, she couldn't help but cringe at the fact that everyone needed to 'talk' with her. What was there really to talk about anyways? Deciding there wasn't any point in going in, since it was so late, Sakura waited outside. She looked at one of the windows in the school to see Leilani. Leilani pointed at her sternly and Sakura held her hands up defensively while mouthing, 'I'm sorry.' Sakura sighed and laid down on one of the benches. She slowly drifted off to sleep.
It seemed like only a few minutes had past when someone woke her up. "Hey, I thought you were coming to learn," Sakura opened one eye and saw Stefan, with his arms crossed.
"Well, I was so late, I didn't think it would be worth it," Sakura sat up and Stefan sat down beside her.
"What's been going on with you lately?" Stefan asked her, concern in his voice.
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Sakura growled.
"Well, you seem stressed," Stefan stated, "Plus, showing up at the boarding house without me knowing."
"Well, after Emily sent me flying through the air and into a branch, which stabbed through my shoulder, your brother brought me to the boarding house. After feeding me his blood again," Sakura whispered the last part. "Oh yeah, plus this necklace came in the mail as a birthday present from my dead brother. Go figure! Then there was also the whole getting drunk and asking your brother to compel Leilani to forget about Zack," Sakura blurted out, surprised Stefan with how much was going on. Sakura let out a deep breath, "Thanks for listening!" Sakura gave him a quick hug and tried to make a getaway.
"Wait," Stefan stopped her, "That's more just a rant, rather than talking. Oh, and you might want to be careful, there's another vampire in Mystic Falls!"
The bell rang and students started to pile out. "Oh look, it's Elena, whom you're here to talk to," Sakura pushed Elena towards Stefan and ran off to the side, to wait for Leilani. When Leilani walked out the door, Sakura pulled her off to the side.
"You!" Leilani growled. "Why didn't you tell me what was going on?" Leilani sounded like she wanted to cry as she pulled the confused Sakura into a hug.
"What do you know?" Sakura pulled away.
"Well, I know about vampires now. Plus, I saw you with the tree through you. Stefan told me to let Damon handle it. I just wish you had told me what was going on!" Leilani looked at her sadly.
"Well, I guess there's a little more to tell you. I have shadow magic," Sakura tried to describe it. "I literally use the shadows to capture things, there are other powers, but that's the main one," Sakura sighed.
"That sounds awesome," Leilani cheered. "How long have you had the powers?" Leilani asked.
Sakura thought about it for a moment, not really wanting to answer. "About four years," Sakura stated.
"Before, or after the fire?" Leilani asked.
"Try during…" Sakura went silent.
"During? Did you? Did you cause the fire?" Leilani asked her, taking a few steps away.
"I don't know! I really mean it! I blacked out and there was fire everywhere! I don't even know how I ended up outside of the house. It was when my powers started, it burst out of control, and then it's black," Sakura tried to explain.
"You keeping the vampire thing, fine. Even having powers, fine. But, you might have caused the fire that destroyed our lives!" Leilani ran away from Sakura.
Sakura had her hand out to Leilani, "Leilani." She dropped her hand and slide down to the floor as she leant against the school, "What have I done?" Sakura held her face in her hands.
Most of the students were at the Career Fair, even Sheriff Forbes, and Mayor Lockwood were in there. Sakura, on the other hand, was wandering around, trying to figure things out. She eventually made it back home. She sat on the hood of her Impala and gazed into the sky. Sakura's phone rang. "Hello," Sakura answered without checking caller id.
"Sakura, come… I need help, warehouse," Damon seemed to be out of breath for some reason. He told her where it was and she headed there in her Impala.
"Damon?" Sakura opened the back door to the warehouse. Damon was on the ground, covered in blood.
"Hey, thanks… For coming," Damon was picking something out of the wounds.
Sakura rushed up to him, then noticed the smell. "I know you're bloody, but why does it reek of blood and death in here?" Sakura asked. Damon pointed to a cage in the warehouse that was filled with dead bodies. "Please tell me that it wasn't you," Sakura knelt down beside him.
"Logan Fell," Damon answered.
"The new vampire in town, and has no self control," Sakura was disgusted with the pile of bodies.
"Help," Damon said.
"Oh, right. This will hurt a bit, but it'll get them out fast," Sakura's eyes started to glow. The shadows looked as though they were consuming Damon, filling the wounds with shadows. Then they burst out, and the bullets went flying out of him. Damon yelped in pain, but all of the bullets were gone.
"Thanks," Damon huffed. Sakura helped him up then handed him her wrist. He looked at her questioningly, "What?"
"Look, if there's another psycho in town, we need you at full strength. So drink up," Sakura sighed, "The devil you know and all that."
Damon breathed in deeply and took her wrist. He bit down on her and started to drink. She cringed a little, but didn't say a word, till her backed off. "Thanks," Damon wiped the blood away. His wounds healed extremely quick, and he seemed fully energize.
"I'll give you a ride home," Sakura pulled a bandage out of her pocket and wrapped up the wound.
"You know, I could just give you a little blood and it'll heal right up," Damon stated.
"Let's go," Sakura walked away. Damon smirked and followed her to her Impala. They both got in, and she headed to the boarding house.
"You know, I wasn't sure you'd come help," Damon smiled lightly.
"Who knows what I'll do," Sakura sighed. "I wasn't busy anyways. You know, Leilani's PO'd. Not sure she'll ever talk to me again. Skipped school, for a nap. Besides, you helped me, the whole shoulder impaled incident," Sakura said nonchalantly.
"Okay…" Damon wasn't sure how to respond. "Anyways, now that I have your undivided attention," Damon started to speak.
"Oh great," Sakura said sarcastically. She turned up the volume on the radio to try and mute him. He turned it down and glared at her. "What? I love that song!" Sakura said, it was Enter Sandman, by Metallica. He kept looking at her. "Fine, what was it you wanted to ask?" Sakura sighed.
"How'd you know about Katherine?" Damon asked.
"I know a lot of things," Sakura stated, "And I've done my research."
"Stop being vague," Damon stared at her.
Sakura turned and stuck her tongue out at him, "It's what I do. I don't tell people things directly. Would you prefer a riddle?" Sakura asked, toying with him now.
"Ha ha, very funny," Damon didn't seem impressed.
"Looky looky, we're already back at the boarding house. You should really get changed," Sakura smiled at him innocently. Damon growled slightly and got out of the car. He slammed her door shut and headed inside.
Only moments later, Damon came back out with a fresh shirt on. "Time to go to school," Damon got into the Impala, "Logan Fell's there."
"Righty-o," Sakura backed out of the driveway and headed towards Mystic Falls High School.
Damon's phone rang and he answered it. "We'll be approaching him soon," Damon talked on his phone. "Stop here," Damon told Sakura. She pulled over and he got out without saying why. He had a gun in his hand and he rushed up to a car nearby. Sakura watched and found out it was Logan Fell in the vehicle. Stefan ripped the door open, and grabbed Logan out of the car and threw him, tumbling down the road. Logan got up and started running towards them. Damon pointed the gun at him and shot him four times. "Payback's a bitch, isn't it," Damon smiled, "Get her out of here," Damon told Stefan, referring to Caroline. Damon ran up to the car, to use the com system, while Stefan grabbed Caroline. Damon opened the back of Logan's vehicle and pulled a tire iron out of the back.
Stefan brought Caroline to her Impala. "Come on, let's take her home," he said as he placed her in the back. Sakura pulled away from the curb. A police car drove by, Sakura looked in her mirrors to see Damon miss hitting Logan and get pushed. Damon, missed? Sakura found it odd that he would let him go. Sakura headed for Caroline's house. A few minutes later, she pulled up to her house and Stefan brought her inside, making sure she was okay. Stefan came back out and they headed back to the school. Sakura sighed, apparently she had become the chauffeur.
After dropping Stefan off, Sakura decided to drive to the graveyard. She walked up to her families graves, "I'm sorry. It might have been me that caused your deaths. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it was," Sakura sighed.
"I don't know either, but it could have been," Sakura turned around to see Darien.
"Darien? Is it really you?" Sakura was ready to cry.
"Yes, it is," Sakura ran up to him and hugged him, not wanting to let go.
She pulled back when she thought about it, "How are you alive? They told me you burned up in the fire!"
"I'm no exactly alive," Darien sighed.
"Well, I can touch you, so you're not a ghost. I'm guessing you're not a zombie either, which only leaves…" Sakura trailed off.
"Yes, I am a vampire," he stated blatantly.
"But if you've been around this long, why didn't you come to me? And who else was in that fire, that they thought was you?" Sakura wanted answers.
"You'll find out eventually," Darien pat her on the head.
The wind blew by, blowing Sakura's hair into her face. She moved it out of the way quickly, but Darien disappeared. "Darien?" Sakura started to wonder if her mind was playing tricks on her. She glanced down at the graves before going back into her car. She drove off and when she passed by the boarding house, she saw Elena coming out, crying. Sakura pulled up to the curb and called to her, as she was about to get into her vehicle.
"Elena!" Sakura called out again, this time she turned and rushed up to the Impala.
"Drive," Elena told her as she got in.
Sakura started to drive, with no destination. "Elena, what happened?" Sakura wanted to know what was going on.
"She looks like me! Katherine, his ex-girlfriend," Elena said frantically. Sakura looked over at her sadly, she turned her head back to the road and someone was standing in the way. Sakura braked as hard as she could, her car swerved, she hit the person and the car tumbled, landing on its roof.
"Crap," Sakura struggled to say. Sakura looked at Elena, then to the person she hit. It looked as though he was getting up, and fixing his twisted bones! "Double crap," Sakura was starting to get frantic. "Elena, are you okay? We have to get out of the car," Sakura looked back over and the guys was walking up to the car. Elena screamed, and tried to get her door open, and her seatbelt undone. Sakura felt the blood dripping from her head as the guy got closer. Of course her seatbelt didn't want to come undone. Things just kept going wrong. "Triple crap," what were the chances that the guy she hit was coming to help, and not kill them?
I hope you enjoyed!
