She fluttered her eyes open streched. She looked at the alarm – it was 9 am. Although, she slept for two hours, she felt refreshed like she slept the entire night.
She got up and sat at the edge of her bed. She ran her fingers through her hair and took off the bloody towel off her wrist. The bitemark was still there, but at least it wasn't bleeding anymore. Then, she got up and brushed her hair.
After her morning routine, she made her way to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea. She sat at the counter. It appeared Damon and Elena weren't up yet, or just exited the house, and Stefan was at Caroline's. She slowly sipped her tea.
A few minutes later, Elena emerged from the stairs. She had messy hair and looked pale.
"Good morning." Alice smiled and offered Elena some tea. She politely declined. "So, you OK?" Alice asked. Elena made herself a cup of coffee and sat next to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Elena smiled and took a sip of her coffee. Her look drifted to Alice's wrist and her eyes vamped out for a second. "Sorry. I guess I'm not used to being a vampire again."
"It's okay." Alice smiled and looked at her wrist. "Is Stefan still with Caroline?" Alice asked. Elena nodded. "She's really lucky. Stefan is very special."
"I know." Elena said and smiled. "We used to be together, you know."
"Really?" Alice asked. She was surprised. "I should have figured that one out."
"Anything new in New Orleans?" Elena asked, changing the conversation topic.
"Not really." Alice said. "Same old, same old."
"Yeah. Did your brothers tell you how we met the Originals in the first place?" Elena asked.
"No, not really. I mean, Stefan told me that Klaus came here to break some ancient curse, but he didn't really give me any details." Alice said.
"Of course he didn't." Elena said, looking at one spot on the floor.
"Which curse did he try to break?" Alice wondered. Elena looked at her.
"The Sun and the Moon Curse." Elena said. Alice looked at her in shock and nodded in understanding. "And he didn't try. He succeeded. Did you hear about that curse?" She asked.
"I did. But... how are you even... alive? I mean... is that when you turned?" Alice asked.
"No. It's actually really complicated. My... uncle/father gave me his life force to bring me back to life." Elena said.
"Wow. I didn't know that." Alice admitted. "I guess that we share something in common."
"What?" Elena wondered.
"We've both been drained by Klaus." Alice said. They both laughed at the irony. Damon and Stefan came into the house.
"What's going on with you two?" Stefan asked, seeing the girls laughing.
"Nothing." Elena said and got up to kiss Damon. Alice got up, as well and put the cups away. She went to her room, as usual, and took a big book from the bookshelf in her room, which was actually her grimoire. It contained spells from Bonnie's Grams's grimoire and spells from the grimoire the Heretics borrowed her to study.
She took a large bowl in front of her and cut her hand with a knife, letting her blood drip into the bowl. Then, she took a single hair from her head and placed it into the bowl. She placed her hands above the bowl and chanted. She dipped the knife she cut her hand with into the blood and chnated, with the knife in her hands.
Suddenly, the knife burst into flames and turned into ash. Alice poured the ash into the bowl with blood and chanted again. The blood in the bowl started to turn brighter and brighter, until it turned completely white.
Alice smiled, clearly happy with the result. She poured the liquid into a small bottle and took a small piece of paper from the shelf. She took a pen and wrote a note onto the paper.
The complete spell
Full moon only
-Alice
She tied the note onto the bottle and approached the window. She took the small bottle in her hands and blew it away, turning it into a purple mist. She smiled and closed the window. Then, she approached her grimoire again. She took a long quill and ink bottle from the desk and wrote something down in her grimoire.
Success. The potion is sent. This spell must never be used again.
She put down the quill and ripped the page from the book, only to set it on fire.
Incendia
The page turned into ash which Alice carefully stocked into another bottle and put away.
