She woke up, gasping for air. She looked around herself, clearly terrified. She sighed in relief when she realized it was just a dream. It was still the middle of the night, but Alice couldn't sleep anymore. She stood up into a sitting position and sighed.
It's been roughly ten days since she met Jeremy and saw Klaus for the last time. She got up and walked to her window. There was no one outside and the night was perfectly peaceful. It was November, so it was pretty cold. Alice got outside through the window and climbed onto the roof.
Cold wind blew away every ounce of fear that was in her. She was cold, but didn't care much about it. She transformed into an owl and flew away.
First, she flew to her mother's and the Heretics' house. Lily and the Heretics didn't sleep and they were all outside, sitting in the garden. Mary Louise waved at Alice, as she saw the owl fly towards them. Mary was the most cheerful one in the group and Alice's dear friend. Alice landed and transformed back into herself.
"Alice, darling." Lily smiled and hugged her daughter. "What brings you to us?"
"I... couldn't sleep, so I decided to visit you." Alice said kindly.
"Have you been having nigtmares?" Valerie asked Alice. Alice nodded. "I thought so. I've been having them, too." She said and walked inside the house. "Come with me."
Alice followed Valerie into the house. Valerie's dreams were usually prophecies and always ment danger. Alice closed the door behind her and followed Valerie to the attic – she obviously didn't want anyone to hear their conversation. In the attic, there were a few chairs, lined up neatly against the wall. Valerie sat on one of them and Alice sat on the chair next to her.
"I'm sorry for taking you here, but I'm afraid that no one can hear this conversation." Valerie said, after sitting down.
"Why? My dreams don't mean anything." Alice said.
"Well, that depends. Have you been dreaming about Mikael?" Valerie asked. Alice froze and looked at her in shock.
"How did you know?" She asked quietly.
"Because I have been having the exact same dream." Valerie explained. "You see, Alice, every dream that a witch has always means something."
"But, what does this one mean. I don't understand, Mikael is dead." Alice said.
"He may not be. The Other Side has collapsed, which means that his ghost cannot be present. It can only mean one thing: he is still out there, and he is a threat to every vampire in existance." Valerie said.
"But, where is he?" Alice asked. Valerie thought for a moment.
"Alice, has he fed on you the day he died?" Valerie asked.
"Yes." Alice replied, selfcounciously touching her neck.
"Then, the mystery is solved." Valerie said cryptically.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked.
"Alice, your blood gives strength to vampires just like human blood. But, Mikael usually feeds on vampires. Your blood is the perfect balance between vampire blood and witch blood – it makes you an endless food source. But, it is also very special for one more thing – it can bring back to life." Valerie explained.
"What? I don't... How do you know this?" Alice asked, clearly shocked.
"If a person has your blood in his system, even if that person is a vampire, he will come back to life. It turns humans into vampires, but it revives vampires." Valerie explained. "I have found that out, reading through a book of supernatural creatures."
"I... I revived Mikael." Alice realized, shocked.
"It is also interesting that your blood can revive a corpse if you get your blood in its system after it dies. Although, it would take you to feed the revived person your blood after it gets back to life." Valerie said.
Alice was shocked by this. She didn't think about the fact that she couldn't be killed, but she thought about how many lives she could save in the future. Suddenly, she felt sharp pain in her neck and felt her blood leaving her body extremely quickly.
"What's happening?!" She asked panickly as she fell on the floor. Valerie ran to her to help her, but she was too late. Alice was dead.
