(A/N last chapter) x
"WHAT TEAM!?" I shouted from my room whilst sitting up abruptly in my bed. About two seconds later, Mae arose from beside me and shouted back "WILDCATS!"
Yes, this is how we usually woke up in the mornings... Caroline hated it, as did Mom.
"Stop!" Came an annoyed voice from Caroline's room to which Mae and I grinned at. It was the night of our birthday party and I would even admit to say that I was excited.
To my displeasure though, Elena and Bonnie had been invited. I seriously don't know why Caroline said they could come considering it was my birthday party and I didn't like them.
"Did you get your outfit for the party the other day?" I asked Mae as she stretched and left the bed. I, of course, planned on staying in bed for another hour or so since it was around 9 in the morning.
"Yep. Caroline made me try on at least 50 dresses" She groaned, her face showing that she was reliving the memory.
It instantly reminded me of when we had to go shopping go the Mikaelson ball.
Ah, old times.
"What colour is it?"
"Purple"
"Cool" I commented, the only reason I asked this is because I didn't want to clash with hers.
To be honest, I had no idea what I was going to wear. I was tempted to wear skinny jeans and a top just to make Caroline mad but she's worked hard on this so I wouldn't do that to her.
"Oh, we got you a dress to" Mae said from the bathroom. Did she read my thoughts or something?
"Where is it?"
"Wardrobe" She replied in a 'duh' tone. I rolled my eyes and reluctantly dragged myself out of bed.
When I got to my wardrobe, I saw a purple dress which was obviously Mae's and behind it was what I guessed was mine.
It was a deep blue colour with black lace at the top with a black belt around the middle. It was also one of those dresses that was longer at the back and shorter at the front which is the type that I absolutely loved.
Mae's was sort of similar with the black belt but her had long sleeves which were a see-through type fabric with a pattern on it. Unlike mine as well, hers was even around the bottom which would stop around mid-thigh.
I heard the shower turn on and I let out an annoyed noise. I was going to have a shower. Trust me, living with a sibling isn't as fun as you think it is.
Instead of just sitting and waiting for her, I decided to go and get breakfast. From what I could tell, Mom was already out at work and Caroline was still in bed.
It's a Saturday, of course Care would be in bed.
I made some pancakes and coated them in chocolate spread before promptly eating all 7 of them. Yes, I love pancakes.
The shower cut out from in my room after I was done eating and I was about to go but my phone went off, signalling someone was calling me.
Well, I knew who was calling as everyone in my contacts has a separate ring tone. I let the Star Wars theme tune play for a few more seconds before answering the call.
"Hyelloh" I greeted, grinning
"Love, how are you today then?" Klaus voice sounded through the phone and I laughed
"I'm brilliant, why do you ask?"
"You have to go to a party tonight. I thought you would be dreading it"
"Na, its ok really. Plus I have to pretend I love it for Mae and Caroline" I sighed, my fingers fiddling with my hair as I spoke to him
"I see"
It suddenly dawned on me. I hadn't even invited him to the party. "Klaus, do you wanna come?"
"As much as I would love to stand and watch teenagers get drunk I unfortunately have other matters to attend to"
I was actually upset that Klaus couldn't come but I didn't show it "Oh, ok then. Yea, you probably hate parties more than me anyway" I laughed quickly
Klaus also laughed down the phone which was followed by some distant chatter away from the microphone "I have to go. I just wanted to wish a late happy birthday"
I rolled my eyes and thanked him before ending the call. Dang it... I was going to be alone at the party.
Something inside tells me that Mae may be going with Kol but she hasn't said anything yet. Everyone's going to have a date apart from me.
That's when it hit me. I can ask Matt! From what I remembered he doesn't have a girlfriend so I could go with him.
A victory smile was on my face as I quickly rushed into the bathroom to have a shower. Mae was drying her hair still wrapped in a towel when I came into the bedroom.
She nodded in my direction as if acknowledging my presence to which I returned.
After a long soak in the shower, I got dressed into some jeans and a t-shirt and shouted to Caroline and Mae that I was going to the grill before actually leaving.
Ok, my list for today. One, ask Matt to come to my party. Two, check the music play list and make sure no pop stuff was on it. Three, go book shopping. Four, meet with Taylor. Five, get ready for party with Mae. Six, attend party.
Taylor had messaged me yesterday about meeting me before the party. I hadn't spoken to him in a while.. And he only had about 3 weeks left until he had to go back to England.
That sucks. I would love to go with him but I would probably end up staying there with him forever.
The grill was moderately busy for a Saturday lunchtime and of course, Matt was working.
I grinned as I made my way up to the bar where he was making drinks.
Once he wasn't serving anyone, I popped up in front of him which made him jump slightly.
"Violet" He smiled
"Sup Matthew" I greeted, resting my elbows on the bar and leaning in slightly "I have a question to ask you"
"As long as its 'will you serve me alcohol' then ask away"
I rolled my eyes at him "No, but I will be asking that in the future" He shook his head but I continued "I was wondering if you wanted to come to my birthday party with me"
"Aren't you going with Klaus?"
"Oh yea, I didn't think of that... Oh well, I've asked you now" I lied. Ok, I didn't want him to feel bad that I only asked him because Klaus couldn't come.
Matt laughed at me before answering "It would be my pleasure"
"Yes!" I exclaimed, reaching my hand over the bar for Matt to high-five. He just continued to laugh at me before eventually high-fiving me.
He went to talk to me some more but some customers turned p and he had to go.
"Don't worry, I'll meet you at mine at around 6ish?" I asked and he nodded.
Great. First thing off my list is gone and good. Ok, now to check the music. For that, I needed to speak to Caroline.
I mean, I could have done that first but she was still asleep before I left so I thought I save it for later.
"Caroline!" I called out as I barged into her room. She was finally up and sitting at her window seat.
Her head snapped over in my direction and she gave me a sad smile "Hey V"
I frowned as I joined her on the other side of the bench "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." She began but I gave her a pointed look which made her sigh "I just want everything to work out. I want you and my friends to get along. I wanted you to fall in love with the good guy and not the bad guy"
"First things first, Klaus isn't the bad guy. He just has his moments" I pointed out and she shook her head "And about the whole Elena and Bonnie thing? It's them with the problem. They deliberately don't like Mae because she's like me and they don't even know her"
"Well, to be perfectly honest... I didn't like Mae to begin with... I was skeptical at first but when she turned out to be pretty much just like you, there wasn't anything I could I hate about her" Caroline admitted and I raised an eyebrow.
She didn't like Mae when she first arrived? She fooled me easily.
"Well, its my fault your friends have a problem with me. I mean, look at Damon and I. From what I've been told, we hated each other... And not that long ago he bought me alcohol at the grill" I told her and she gave me a flat look
"Damon shouldn't even be buying you alcohol"
I simply shrugged my shoulders to her and she laughed at me.
"Cheer up Care" I reached my hands out and placed them on her arms "Get through tonight and see what happens"
I pulled her into a hug and held it for a few moments before pulling away.
"What's the time?" She asked and I brought my phone out of my pocket
"It's 2 o'clock"
"Oh my god, we have to get you and Mae ready!" She exclaimed, as if someone just slapped her in the face.
In an instant, she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of her room and into mine.
Mae was just lying on her bed reading Manga when we burst into the room.
"Sit. Now" Caroline instructed, pushing me down onto my desks stool and dashing into the bathroom.
Mae put her book down and gave me a look as if to say 'Whats going on?'
"Apparently we have to get ready" I replied, just after I said this, Caroline appeared back in the room with heaps of hair and beauty products in each hand.
Once Mae saw what was going on, she got up and went to leave but in a flash, Caroline had used her vampire speed to place down all the products and appear in front of Mae with her hand on her hip.
"Uh, you aren't going anywhere either missy" She glared, pointing over to the end of the bed for Mae to sit down on.
In a huff, she eventually did which meant Caroline could now get to work on us.
After about 10 minutes of viciously dragging a hair brush through my long hair, she decided it would be easier if I done Mae's hair while she done mine.
It wasn't the best idea as whenever I went to pick up something such as a clip or a brush she would yank my head back into position and shout at me.
This is gonna take longer than I thought...
"Caroline if you touch me again I will shove this hairspray where the sun doesn't shine" I threatened darkly, holding the can at her menacingly as she attempted to put a now in my hair.
It took us a total of 2 hours and that was jut for our hair. We still had make up to do.
Mae and I had managed to convince Caroline to leave the room and get herself ready so we could finish.
I went with dark eye and dark red lipstick whereas Mae went for more subtle colours.
I didn't like having light colours on me and since my hair was black it contrasted horribly on me.
"Is Klaus gonna be there?" Mae asked randomly and I shook my head
"No, he has stuff to do" I sighed, trying not to show how much it was really affecting me.
I mean, it wasn't even a proper birthday party but I wished he was here.
"Would you hate me if I said I invited Kol...?"
"I KNEW IT!" I shouted a gin on my face as Mae looked like she expected me to flip out at her.
"You aren't mad?"
"No. Why would I be?" I asked and she shrugged her shoulders
"I don't know, because you and Kol had that whole 'eternal love' thing"
I pulled a face at her and continued to apply eyeliner to my top eyelid.
"Lets get things straight here" I began, snapping the lid back onto the eyeliner and putting it back in the makeup box we had "Kol and I are no longer together. Yes he may still have feelings for me but since I am with Klaus, I'm sure those feelings are dying down quickly. What he needs right now is a distraction"
She raised an eyebrow as if to ask what
"You, stupid" I rolled my eyes at her "If he focuses on you then you will most likely have feelings for you an not me. And hey, something beautiful may blossom" I gleamed at her and ah grimaced at my face.
"Uh, we've only known each other for like a month. Nothing 'beautiful' will not 'blossom'" she replied with a flat look.
"I'm just sayin', I know when Kol likes someone" I held my hands up in innocence as she went to put blusher on her cheeks.
After about an hour of applying makeup, giving each other harsh glares and talking about boys, we were finally ready with some time to spare.
We were still both in normal clothes as we didn't want to get anything on our dresses. Yes, call us lame but this may be the only fun we have before something ultimately goes wrong and someones life is in danger.
That life most likely being mine.
But when Caroline burst through the door and instructed us to get dressed we did. So, with about 20 minutes to spare, us three girls sat in the living room and waited to be picked up by our dates.
Caroline was going with Tyler, Mae was going with Kol and I was going with Matt.
"Why did you ask Matt?" Caroline asked as I twiddled with the fabric on my dress.
I shrugged my shoulders to her question "I couldn't exactly ask Damon could I?"
"Why not?"
"Because A) He is way too old to be taking me and B) Elena will hate me even more for stealing her Salvatore away from her" I said the last part in an over-dramatic cry and flung my arms in the air.
Caroline just shook her head and Mae laughed at me. We both knew of Elena's situation with the Salvatore brothers.
She was more like Katherine then she thought she was. Going from Stefan to Damon and making them come to her every call.
I mean, I guess that's what I was like for a small amount of time with Klaus and Kol but at least I finally made my mind up, she's still stringing them both along.
Finally someone knocked on the door and I was up straight away to answer it. Kol stood on the porch with his back to the door so, making sure this wasn't as awkward as possible, I swung the door open with a gleaming smile.
"Kol!" I greeted cheerfully and he gave a smile
"What's up with you?" He asked and I gave him an incredulous look
"Pfft, what makes you think there's something wrong?" I laughed, making sure I didn't make anything too weird
"Have you had an energy drink?"
"No. I'm just happy. Is that forbidden?"
"No. You're just unnaturally happy when you've got to go to a party" He commented
Ah, he still remembered things about me.
"Well, since there is now an awkward silence, I'm gonna go and get Mae" I wriggled my eyebrows suggestively at him and he just rolled his eyes as I spun around and trotted quickly back to the living room.
"Mae! Kol's outside" I jumped onto the back of the sofa and landed on both my sisters, causing them to shout and groan at me.
"Get off!" Mae shouted as my foot landed on her head.
"Oops, sorry" I smirked as she pushed me off and went to the whilst smoothing out her hair and checking her makeup quickly.
Once we heard them talk and the door shut, Caroline turned to me
"How can you be ok with your sister just going off with your ex-boyfriend?" Oh god... I knew this was coming...
"Well the answers in what you just said to be honest. He's my EX-boyfriend. I know he will treat Mae right because he treated me right" I answered but that wasn't enough for Caroline
"But just... How?"
"I don't know" I sighed "There's no point in giving him hope that I may go back to him, so, pushing someone into his direction who I'm related too may gave him the right sign"
Just as Caroline went to say something else, the door knocked again only to reveal Tyler.
Caroline left shortly after not wanting to leave me by myself but I made her leave.
I knew Matt was going to be late because he text me saying the grill was abnormally busy so he'll be about 10 minutes longer. Which I was absolutely fine with by the way.
One of the main reasons I wanted to be alone was because I needed to use my powers.
It had been building up inside of me since Caroline started doing my hair and that was three hours ago so it was getting pretty unstable right now.
I looked around for a plant pot out in the back garden and picked up a small rose pot. It had about four, bright red roses fully blooming in it and I almost felt bad for what I was about to do.
I held my hand over the pot and closed my eyes, letting the magic flow out of me.
After a few more moments, my eyes opened and sighed at the pile of ash that now sat on the plant pot.
This was the only down side of coming back a witch, well, a specific witch. I needed to let my power out otherwise I get headaches and nose bleeds.
I made my way back into the house and pulled my phone off the charger so it was fully charged for the party.
There was a text from Matt which said 'I'm outside x'. I quickly slipped my heels on and left the house, locking the door behind me.
Matt was standing by his truck with a smile on his face.
"You look beautiful" He grinned and I blushed slightly
"Thanks buddy" I poked my tongue out at him and hopped into the passenger seat of the truck.
I think I may be the only person that actually likes Matt's truck. I t was so awesome and had like a grunge affect to it.
I told him that the first time I saw it and Matt just laughed at me. We spoke casually until we made it to the school.
It felt weird being there out of school hours, especially as when we walked in some drunk guy was dancing by himself whilst hugging a mop.
Not something you see everyday so I took a picture of him.
As soon as I stepped foot into the gym, there was an eruption of cheers from the students which made me jump slightly.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone shouted which I found funny since it was over a month ago but still, I grinned at them.
I will admit, Caroline had out done herself this time. Streamers hung from the ceiling and disco lights lit up the room as the loud music played.
To my pleasure, Caroline had actually taken in my request to put my kind of music onto the play list. Fall Out Boy was blasting through the speakers and Matt held his hand out for me to take.
"Dance?" He offered and I reluctantly agreed. I put my hand in mine and he dragged me to the middle of the dance floor.
It was kind of fitting as 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs' was playing which was my favourite party song to dance to.
I was surprised that Matt managed to keep me dancing until the end of the song and then after that I left him with some girl that likes him so he was happily distracted.
Making my way to the drinks table, I spotted Mae and Kol hanging around near the entrance. Kol was leaning against the wall with Mae in front of him and his hand was fiddling with a piece of her hair.
Mae caught my eye and I winked at her to which she shook her head too. Before Kol could see who Mae was interacting with, I slipped away to the drinks table and poured myself some of the punch that was there.
Judging by how lary the teenagers were, someone had obviously spiked the punch and my suspicions were confirmed when I took a sip. The strong taste of vodka hit me and I had to take a moment before downing the rest of the cup.
"Move and I will rip your heart out" A man with a very bad French accent spoke from behind me. My heart lept out of my chest for mere moments before I realized who it was.
"Taylor you are an actual ass" I said as I turned around and pulled him into a hug. It had been nearly a week since I had seen Taylor so I was really happy he was here.
"So, how you enjoying your party?" He asked with a smirk
"It's delightful" I replied, trying hard to not say it in a sarcastic tone.
"Right" Taylor dragged the word out as if not believing me. Just to prove him wrong, I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor
"Fine. Lets dance" I smiled as a Panic! At The Disco song started playing. From across the room, I noticed Mae with a grin on her face and her hand in Kol's as she attempted to pull him over to the dancing.
Kol looked pretty reluctant but when I noticed Mae giving him puppy dog eyes, he gave in.
I knew teaching her that would come in handy.
"You sure about them?" Taylor shouted in my ear as the music was way too loud. I nodded my head in reply, knowing Kol would be able to hear me.
I don't know why everyone's asking me about that. I really don't care anymore.
But at the same time I can sort of see where they're coming from... I literally felt like Kol was the one, but now its all changed.
Sometimes I actually wish I never came to Mystic Falls. I would probably still be leading a normal life without any constant threats.
I wouldn't have to have my guard up 24/7. I wouldn't have to kill plants or even animals to relieve my magic.
"Violet?" A voice snapped me out of my little thought moment to see Taylor clicking his fingers in my face
"Hmm?"
"You've been standing still for about 2 minutes now. Are you ok?" Taylor asked
"Yea I'm fine. I just need some air" I sighed, the heat of the room was getting to me
"Just be back in 10, Caroline's doing the cake then" He instructed and I nodded my head. Taylor had a sympathetic look for all of 4 seconds before a boy walked past and caught his eye.
In an instant he was following the guy and I was alone on the dance floor. Typical Taylor.
Anyway, I had a blonde sister to find. And when I say sister I mean Caroline and not Mae. She was too busy with Kol and I didn't want to disturb them.
I turned around from where I stood and unfortunately smacked right into someone. And when I say unfortunately, I mean it.
Elena looked flustered for a second until she saw it was me and then her face turned hard and cold.
"Violet" She said, no happiness whatsoever in her tone
"Elena" I replied in the same tone whilst dragging her name out.
"Just to let you know, I'm only here for Caroline" She snapped coldly and I pulled a face at her
"Just to let you know, I'm only here for Caroline too. Get your head out of your arse" I glared, pushing past her so our shoulders connected.
There was something about that girl that just ticked me off in all the wrong ways. Just standing in her presence made me want to punch her.
And to think I actually use to like her and want to help her through her vampire life... Like I care anymore.
Shaking my head at our encounter, I continued to look for Caroline. I hoped she was with someone I liked.
But what was weird was that Elena seemed tense for some reason.
I mean, more tense than what she is usually like. She's got that whole broody vibe about it but it was different.
I put those thoughts to the back of my mind as I went to search for my sister.
"Gorgeous" A male voice began to talk but I had turned around before they could keep talking.
"Enzo. Didn't expect for you to stick around" I countered, thinking he would skip town when Valentina died.
"Yes well, apparently I actually have friends who way me to stay" He said it in a bored tone as if he couldn't be bothered to be here.
I couldn't blame him to be honest.
"Damon's keeping you around then?" I smirked
"Unfortunately" He sighed "He needs a drinking buddy"
"Don't deny that you don't enjoy it" I grinned and he tilted his head in a 'maybe I do' way.
I looked over his shoulder to see if I could see Care and it seemed it didn't go unnoticed.
"Looking for someone?"
"Yea, Caroline" I replied, my eyes darting around the room to try and find her.
"She's a feisty one isn't she" Enzo grinned and I gave him a skeptical look.
"Do you fancy my sister?" I raised an eyebrow as he simply shrugged
"She's an interesting little vampire" Was all he replied before pushing through the crowd and disappearing from my view.
From what I could tell, Caroline wasn't in the gym so she could be somewhere else int he school building.
I know she wouldn't have left since it was technically her party. The captain wouldn't leave their ship.
Deciding to start searching the classrooms in case Tyler and her were making out somewhere, I walked with a bounce in my step as I could still hear the music playing through the building.
Just as I was passing Alaric's classroom, there was a small bang and some whispers.
Naturally, I would ignore something like that but the small bang sounded like bones breaking...
And I would know a lot about that.
Keeping my back against the wall, I peered in through the glass window of the door and my eyes widened at what I saw.
Bonnie and Elena were standing by one of the desks with a blond girl slumped over in one of the chairs.
It was only when I realized it was Caroline did my blood start to boil.
Not even thinking of my actions, the door swung open from my magic which slammed against the wall.
Their attention was immediately caught with their guard up.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked in a surprisingly calm voice.
Neither if them answered as Elena lunged at me. Since I was expecting the attack, I twisted my hand in the air which caused her neck to snap.
She carelessly fell to the floor with Bonnie staring with wide eyes.
Unfortunately, the Bennett witch didn't back down as she thrust her arms in my direction and began muttering under her breath.
I may be a more powerful witch in general, but Bonnie had been practicing longer than me so she had more tricks up her sleeve.
It felt like all my muscles were freezing on the spot so couldn't move my body.
I was stuck on the spot.
Completely useless.
Once I was fully immobilized, Bonnie stopped chanting her spell and put her arms down.
On the table where Caroline had been placed, there was a book and a bag that she then turned too.
"Why I are you doing this Bonnie?" I asked through clenched teeth as I attempted to overcome her magic "Can you just let me be?"
She turned to me harshly "Your magic is wrong and so are you. You constantly go against us"
Her body turned back to the bag and she rummaged around in it, pulling out what looked like a wooden dagger.
I narrowed my eyes looking at the particularly pointless looking weapon.
"What the hell is that meant to do?" I said with a slight snicker.
The reason that I was getting so cocky was because I had nearly overridden her spell.
I had the feeling back in my legs but I didn't show it.
"This is the only type of weapon that can kill a Libitina witch dead. No coming back this time" She replied with a somewhat menacing tone in her voice that was obviously forced.
She probably didn't want to do this and wanted Elena to do it. Since I snapped Elena's neck, it was all down to little Bonnie Bennett.
"Then do it" I hissed, my eyes flickering to the dagger then back to her.
Bonnie looked like she wasn't expecting me to say that as she slowly approached me.
"Then you'll have Caroline to deal with. And Mae. And Klaus and every single person who would hate you for killing me" I threatened my brown eyes sliced through hers, as if I was testing her.
Saying this made her hesitate but eventually she moved so she was in front if me and holding the dagger over my heart.
Ok, I was slightly nervous now. I had the feeling in my legs and most of my body apart from my arms but they were slowly coming back to me.
"You were my friend, Bonnie" I sighed "And now look at you"
I needed a few more seconds before I could move again.
Luckily, Bonnie hesitated just long enough for me to move and grip her arm.
"Stop. Fighting. Me. Bonnie" I threatened, my hand squeezing over her wrist so hard that she winced an dropped the dagger.
Since it was only a thin piece of wood, it easily snapped when I slammed my foot down on it.
"Now what? You kill me?" She hissed whilst attempting to get out of my grip.
My other hand and worked its way to her throat now as she struggled.
I pushed forward so she backed up to the nearest wall so I could put more pressure on her neck.
"No. I'm not gonna kill you. Because that not what I do" I said, my grip vanishing from her body.
Bonnie chocked slightly as air traveled more fluently through her windpipe.
My attention was now on Caroline who was still slumped over at the desk.
"I don't hurt my friends" I added, my words suggesting to my sister who's neck was still broken but slowly healing.
Using all the strength I had, I picked her up from the chair and carried her out if the room.
I knew my party wouldn't be complete without some death threats going on.
Now all I had to do was to find a place to put her until she woke up... I can't take her home otherwise people will wonder where I went.
Another classroom maybe? One that doesn't include the people that actually snapped her neck.
I found an empty classroom that wasn't too far away from the main party which I distinctly remember having English in.
I made sure she was comfortable before closing the door and covering the window on the door with some black paper that I found in the desk. Just in case someone walks past and sees her.
Now, back to the party. Maybe Bonnie and Elena have left now so I don't have to deal with them anymore.
Well, I say 'maybe'. What I mean is 'I hope'.
Music was still buzzing through the gym when I got back and the party seemed to be at its peak with nearly everyone dancing.
I saw Matt now dancing with Mae who looked like they were having a whale of a time.
It made me so happy seeing her enjoying herself with people that actually accepted her. Some of course, are still skeptical but whats there to be wary about?
She's more stable than me with the whole magic thing and everyone's fretting about her.
"V!" Mae called over to me as she saw me. I ran up to her and gave her a bear hug, squeezing her tightly.
"Sup sis" I greeted, waving my hand to her and Matt who seemed slightly drunk if you ask me.
"Where've you been?" She asked and I leaned in closer to her ear so no one human could hear.
"Elena and Bonnie tried to kill me. And they snapped Caroline's neck" I whispered and I felt her tense. I pulled my head away to find that her eyes had turned completely black and she was practically steaming.
"Mae!" I yelled at a whisper, holding her head down and pulling her out of the crowd so no one could see.
We made it to a more deserted part of the gym and Mae took a few deep breaths before her eyes changed back to their usual grey colour.
"What the hell happened?" She hissed
"I'm guessing Caroline tried to stop them from going on with their plan but Elena snapped her neck. I came into the room and snapped Elena's neck but Bonnie had me trapped with a spell and went to kill me with some dagger thing-"
"A wooden dagger?" Mae cut in and I nodded "Damn it. It has to be coated in hybrid venom to be potent and Klaus wouldn't give it to them"
"No... but Tyler might" I said with almost certainty. Ever since I apparently threatened him, he hasn't liked me much.
Also the fact that I'm with Klaus who treats him like a slave even though I spoke to Klaus about it.
"Of course. Why are hybrids such a nuisance?" She pulled a distasteful face before quickly looking to me "No offence"
"Hey, Klaus can be an arse sometimes. None taken"
She laughed a bit before we went back to Matt who to be honest didn't even look like he noticed we were gone.
I told Mae before we went over where I had put Caroline's body so we knew when the party was over.
Even though I felt bad about leaving Caroline in some random classroom, I'm pretty sure she would rather have me enjoying myself rather then sulking about her.
So enjoy myself is what I did. Most of the time I spoke to random people but I also danced a lot with Mae and Matt and Jeremy when he finally turned up.
Apparently he had no idea of Bonnie's and Elena's intentions even though ones of them is his sister and the other is his girlfriend.
I felt sorry for him being caught in the middle. That also goes for Matt and technically Caroline too.
I was just filling up another cup of the spiked punch as I could feel my soberness slowly leaving me when someone popped up beside me.
"Though you would be the one to spike this" Kol grinned as I took a sip of the drink. I shook my head to him
"I didn't spike it" I informed him, quickly downing the res if the cup and pulling a face at the slight burn that lingered in my throat.
"I suspect it was Taylor" I added and he nodded his head in agreement.
An almost awkward silence then followed and I didn't want it to get worse so I turned to him
"So, you and Mae?" I grinned suggestively.
Why the hell would I say something awkward like that to get out of and already awkward encounter?!
"Yes. She interests me" He replied simply, shoving his hands in her jean pockets.
Again, a silence settled but tho time it was Kol who broke it
"My brother not here then?"
"Nope. Apparently he had stuff to sort out" I frowned slightly at how casual I sounded.
I really wanted Klaus to be here... Its just a shame he couldn't come.
"You haven't heard anything from him, have you?" I asked an Kol shook his head "Oh well. Just have to enjoy my belated birthday party without him" I sighed
Mae bounded over to us, her breathing heavy from dancing most probably.
"Hey guys" She greeted and I replied with a wave as I was pouring myself another drink.
"Hello Mae" Kol smiled and it was a genuine smile.
Not a smirk or a suggestive grin, but the smile that I loved oh so very much.
Mae blushes at him slightly before grabbing his hand and pulling him to the dance floor.
There were a range of protests from him but in the end he gave up and ended up dancing with her again.
It's good that he's actually, properly moving on from me. Even though its my sister but I don't care, e deserves to be happy despite what he's done.
As I finished my cup of punch, I felt the last piece of soberness and self-respect leave me as I ran to join them in the crowd.
This went on for about another few hours until it was finally over and all the teenagers gradually left until it was the usual people.
Including Stefan, Damon, Tyler, Jeremy and so on.
I hadn't seen or heard from Elena and Bonnie so I suspected they would have made a quick departure when Elena woke up.
Oh! That meant Caroline may be awake.
Instead if finishing my conversation with Mae, I dashed towards the English room I had left my sister in.
Beside opening the door, I ripped the black paper off of the window and peered in.
She was awake alright. She was sitting on the floor in the furthest corner of the room in the almost pitch black darkness.
I slowly opened the door and stepped in.
Her expression wasn't even fazed by my entrance. A dull, lifeless face was all I was greeted with.
"Care" I spoke softly as I approached her. Being closer, I noticed the tear stains on her cheeks which went with her slightly red and puffy eyes.
"Care" I said again, this time with a sigh as I joined her on the floor by sliding down the wall.
A small hiccup came out of her as she leaned her head on my shoulder
"Wh-why would t-they do th-this?" She chocked out, referring to Elena and Bonnie.
I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and squeezed her tightly.
"I don't know Care" I sighed "I really don't know"
I kissed her forehead lightly and say with her for a bit.
In silence, but it was a comforting silence as Caroline sobbed quietly at her friends betrayal.
Eventually, she perked her head up and focused on something.
"We're wanted" She announced softly, slowly piking herself up off the floor.
I nearly asked how she knew that but then I remembered the whole vampire hearing thing. Of course she heard then
We walked arm in arm back to the gym which we were welcomed to with silence.
I frowned slightly as we both walked further in, scanning the surroundings.
It was way too quiet. I'm sure you could a pin drop because of how quiet it was. Caroline and I shared a look before she disappeared to look around and I continued on into the room.
Since I couldn't hear as well as Caroline, I was a little bit more vulnerable. I stood in the middle of the gym with party streamers tossed all over the floor with plastic cups to add to it.
I swear to god if the all jump out at me as some sort or prank then I'm gonna fli-
I didn't even get to finish my thought as I was shoved quite hard which caused me to fly forwards and land pretty much on my face.
What the hell?
The way I had landed, my jaw hurt so bad that I had to click it back into place. My left elbow was busted and I have wood burns on my knees from how hard I skidded along the floor.
I was just about to turn over so I could see what was going on but someone beat me to it, grabbing the back of my dress and carelessly flipping me over.
A brunette woman around 20 or so stood over me, her eyes were a red like a vampires with fangs elongated in her mouth.
"Can I help you?" I hissed, my jaw still aching like hell from the fall. Instead of answering me, she pulled me up by my dress again but so she was lifting me off the ground.
"You don't even remember me?" She snarled through her fangs and I gave her an incredulous expression.
"Sorry, I have no idea who you are"
I guess that wasn't the answer she wanted as she back handed me across the face which caused my lip to bust open.
Once again, I was pushed to the floor only this time it was the back of my head which cracked against the hard wood.
"You and your little hybrid boyfriend ruined my life. And now I'm going to ruin yours" She hissed, bringing out a gun from her back pocket of her jeans.
A gun? Seriously? That's a new one...
"Sorry about whatever I done to you, but lets just get this straight" I began, leaning up and pushing myself onto one leg.
I went to continue but the sound of a shot sounded through the air and a force blew me back. An eruption of pain exploded in my leg as it finally came to me that she had actually shot me in the thigh.
I had always wondered what it would be like to get shot and let me tell you, its not pleasant.
Instead of screaming which is what I wanted to do, I grunted out the pain and I looked her dead in the eye.
"Big mistake"
Before I could pull myself up again, yet another gun shot sounded through the gym and pain ricochet through my arm.
Yet again, I held back the scream even through it was clawing to come out.
Before she could even get the chance to shoot me again, I used my magic to break her wrist by flicking my hand to the side as I finally pulled myself up.
She let out a gasp as the gun dropped to the floor with a bang. The vampire went to reach for it but I had other ideas, clenching my hand into a fist which stopped her dead in her tracks.
You couldn't see what I was physically, but inside, I was crushing her internal organs one by one. Sick as it is, I actually liked it.
I hadn't killed a vampire or any other proper living thing since I came back it the feeling was euphoric.
Organ by organ, I finally made it to her heart. Slowly but painfully, I let my magic consume her. Finally, one more breath left her lips before her body went grey and veiny.
However, something happened. Something that I had never felt before began to build inside me.
I had never used my magic on that level before and actually killed a person, well, vampire. It was like I was on a high.
My skin was literally buzzing and I couldn't help but let a smile creep up on my face when I saw blood leaking out of the woman's mouth.
Must have been from the organ thing.
"Love"
My head snapped up to see Klaus standing in the gym. His eyes lingered on the body before going back to me
"Do you know her?" I asked, pointing down to the body
"We both did but like I'm sure she said to you, something went a bit wrong" He said, as if he didn't particularly care.
"Explain" I ordered, hobbling over to him as my leg still throbbed from the bullet wound.
Just as he went to talk, I used my powers to make his hand reach out and cut along his arm so his blood spilled out. He was about to question me but when I started to drink it he understood.
"We went to go and make some hybrids and she was with the werewolf pack we found. Unknowing to us, she was human when I accidentally turned her. She went to kill you the next day but I contained her" He went quiet and hesitated before going on "The business I had to attend to was in New Orleans which was where I was keeping her captive and she escape-"
"Why were you keeping her captive?" I questioned once I had finished drinking his blood. His arm healed as did mine but a bit slower.
"Because she tried to kill you so I tortured her everyday as payback"
I raised an eyebrow at him "Everyday? How long ago was this?"
"About a year"
"A year? No wonder she was so pissed" I snapped, frowning at him slightly. A thought then dawned on me. Where was everyone?
"Where's my sister?" I asked and Klaus directed his gaze to the bleachers. I squinted over to them and could barely notice the locks of blond that hung over the end of it.
"Caroline" I breathed, running to her side as my leg was fully healed now. To my relief, she was still alive. There was a needle beside her so I suspected that she was unconscious from a vervian injection.
But what was weird was that no one else was here. I swear Caroline said she heard someone... unless it was the vampire that called her and everyone was home...
"Can you help me?" I murmured, playing with some of Caroline's hair as she slept peacefully. Klaus was by my side in an instant, picking up her body gently and carrying her out the gym.
I was quick to follow him but the fact that there was a dead body still in the school kind of stopped me.
I turned back around as Klaus left the gym and I went back to the vampire.
A small amount of blood pooled around her head from where it had leaked out of her mouth. I didn't want to drag her out of the school and bury her as to be honest, I was too damn tired.
Once again, I used my magic and it disintegrated her body. It took some time but once I had finished chanting under my breath, all that was left was a small amount of blood and scatter of black ash.
That would be a little less questionable if you ask me.
After that, I made my way out to find Klaus leaning against his car with his arms crossed.
"Finished?" He asked, opening the passenger door for me
"Yep" I said, getting in the car. Caroline was layed out on the back seats in a comfortable position.
Klaus joined me in the front and started the car. Seconds later and we were on the way back to mine.
"So what were you doing in New Orleans?" I asked, wanting to break the silence
"I have some family matters there, one of the reasons why you haven't seen Elijah for a while" He replied, not taking his eyes off the road.
"I've never been to New Orleans" I sighed "It's on my list of places though"
"Come with me then"
I turned my head to find Klaus looking at me for a second before looking back to the road.
"To New Orleans? But you're dealing with family stuff"
"You're practically family now Violet. You can come" Klaus argued.
We were back at mine by now as I contradicted myself on Klaus' proposal.
In a matter of seconds, he had taken Caroline body and placed her in the house. I didn't even make it out the car before he was back.
"Come on love, once in a lifetime opportunity" He smirked, his hands latching onto my waist so I was pulled closer to him.
His face hovered over mine and my eyes flickered between his lips and his eyes.
"I don't know. Won't I get bored?" I pouted
"Trust me, New Orleans is the peak of tourism. There is always something to do" He looked like he was thinking for a moment as he began to rub little circles on my hips with his thumbs.
He leaned his head closer to mine and directed his mouth to my ear "If not, I'll have to keep you entertained"
I shivered at his whisper which made him smirk even more.
Perhaps I should go...
I always said I wanted to leave Mystic Falls for a while and now I had the opportunity.
Since I was thinking so hard, I didn't even realize that Klaus had lightly pressed his lips to mine. When I did realize however, I reached my hand up to his collar and pulled him closer to me too deepen the kiss.
I pulled back the slightest so I could look into his eyes once again "Ok then. New Orleans it is"
He grinned and crashed his lips to mine. A small moan rumbled in the back of my throat. It felt like forever since I had done this and it felt like heaven.
So that was it. I was going to New Orleans with Klaus.
I quickly showered, got changed, packed a bag and went. Mae wasn't in when I got to my room which leads me to question where she was right now.
I have a feeling she's probably with Kol...
I had also left a note for my Mom and Caroline and Mae for when they realize I'm gone along with half of my belongings.
It's not like I was going to leave forever.
Just before I left the house to go to the car, I stopped in front of the mirror to pulled my still slightly damp hair out of my face and into a ponytail.
Something weird happened though, its like my reflection wasn't... me.
I was pretty sure I was smiling in the mirror but my reflection contorted a face of pure evil.
What was even more creepy was the fact that my normally brown eyes were pitch black and my skin was even more pale than usual.
I placed my hand on the glass and began to panic even more when my reflection didn't.
Before I screamed for Klaus, a harsh and spiteful laugh filled my ears.
"You're nearly ready" Was all the voice said. I clenched my eyes shut and opened them again to see everything was back to normal.
My reflection was me and I looked the same. Brown eyes, slightly more tanned skin.
I was literally so confused and creeped out right now. What the hell was that all about?
Not wanting to stay in the house for a moment longer, I grabbed my bags and quickly left the house, locking the door behind me.
Klaus had his eyebrow raised at how flustered I was when i got in the car.
"In a hurry?" He countered with a slight smirk
"Just go" I replied, my eyes fixed on the house.
I didn't want to tell him what happened otherwise he would fret about me and want to find out what happened.
Just before we left, I convinced Klaus that I wanted to sleep so I clambered to the back seat of his car and layed myself down on the two seat.
There was an itch on my hand and when I went to scratch it, I flinched. My skin was abnormally cold and when I looked at it, the section of skin was a lot paler than the rest of me.
I didn't make or noise or show any signs of distress so Klaus didn't notice anything.
Only one thing ran through my mind...
What was happening to me?
