Never Let Me Fall

PICTURES OF YOU

I was watching T.V, flipping through the channels in the living room, when Katherine walked in.

"Hey." I said, without even glancing at her. "Hey...look I'm kind of tried of seeing you here everyday, so why don't you do something. Go out, have fun, make some friends or something. Anything but just sitting there all day and doing nothing!" Katherine told me. "And good morning to you too!" I said sarcastically. "Look, I just found out there's gonna be a prom in Mystic Falls...and I was wondering if you could go. Giving me a moment to breath!" Katherine told me.

"I don't want to go to prom." I told her. "Oh come on! Every silly little dumb high school girl wants to go to her prom!" Katherine stated. "Everyone...except me." I said, before popping a popcorn in my mouth and flipping a channel. "Please...for me?" Katherine told me.

Oh fuck this sired bond man!

I sighed dramatically "Fine! I'll go to the fucking stupid prom!" I said. "Thank you! And pick up a dress. I hear it's a dress code for the prom." She told me. "I don't need one. My mother had a prom dress when she was young, and she gave it to Melissa, who was suppose to give it to me. It's somewhere in Melissa's closet, but I can't go there since I'm not invited in." I stated. "But Melissa's dead and nobody lives in that house anymore so any vampire can go in and out was much as they want." Katherine declared.

"Alright then...what about you? What are you wearing to prom?" I asked her. "Nothing. I won't be going. I'm not a huge fan when it comes to prom. And besides I don't even GO to the freaking school!" Katherine told me before walking off into the kitchen.

Just in time before I could plop down on the couch and sigh dramatically.

Mystic Falls

After a 7 hour drive, I made it to Mystic Falls. I went inside my old house, that was dark and dusty. I hadn't been in here since I packed my stuff to go to Nova Scotia. I went up to Melissa's room. I sighed as I entered her closet.

I saw a large white box on top of her shelf. I reached up and grabbed it. I soon took it and placed it on her bed, after getting rid of left over dust. I pulled the top off. There I saw an envelope. I picked it up and opened it. I pulled out a letter. It was in my mother's hand writing. I looked at it in confusion and started to read it.

Dear my dearest daughters,

By the time you get this letter, I'm probably already dead. I predicted that your father and I would die in 2008. Hopefully, my prediction is wrong. There are somethings about your father and his past and mine and our family tree that you don't know about. This maybe hard to believe, but we live in a world where all supernatural beings exist. You probably must think I'm crazy to say and believe that. But it's true.

Melissa, you have the gift of using magic. You're a witch. And Ana, you have the gift of predicting the future, you are a witch and a mantra. You both have a vampire, werewolf, witch, and mantra genes in you. The reason why you don't age too much and have flawless skin is from your vampire gene. The reason why you're strong when it comes to fights are from your werewolf gene. The reason why you are careful when it comes to nature, sense danger and can see beauty in somethings and people is from your witch gene. And the ability to see into the future is from the mantra gene.

I assume you, Ana will have more of that gene than Melissa, and she'll have more of the witch gene than you.

Now I must warn you, this may not make any sense, but you can't stay in Denver. There are hunters from one of the Five in here. They will find you both and kill you along with the rest of the family. I can not allow that to happen, so please move into another town, or city, or better yet, state. Anywhere, but Denver. This is a warning to both of you. I'm sorry I had to die so suddenly, but remember you're not alone. I'll always be there for you, even when you think I'm not. And so will your father. Good bye my daughters...we will meet each other again soon.

Love always,

Mom

If I still had my humanity left, I would have cried after reading this letter.

My parents knew they were going to die, yet they didn't tell me to be prepared!

I sighed a bit and soon revealed the prom dress. It was a black La Femme strapless sequin gown. Surprisingly, it fitted just well on me! I tied my hair back the same way like the time at the Mikealson Ball, only all my curls were showed. I added silver jewelry to my collection, and natural makeup a bit. I soon added some matching black high heels and an evening black purse. After that, I sped off to the prom.

The Prom

I was at the prom. And man was it the most boring dance ever! I NEEDED to get drunk in order to survive this night!

I went to a punch ball to get a drink. It was nice, but it needed a kick to it. Like Tequila! Oh yeah,...tequila! Hadn't have that in a while.

I snapped out of my thoughts once I saw a girl walk pass me. She wore a yellow short sundress. She had her hair into a ponytail and had pale...ish... caramel skin. She was human and she wasn't on vervain. I soon made my move.

I followed her into another part of a room, where there was no people. We ended up in the girl's bathroom.

"Oh gosh! Sorry...you startled me a bit...I didn't see you there." The girl said innocently at me, once she turned around. I smiled at her a bit as she smiled at me. "Oh did I?" I asked innocently. I soon vamped up as the girl just stared at me. I soon bite her neck.

Oh God I haven't had blood from the vein in weeks! It felt SOO GOOD! The girl started to struggle at my grasp. She whimpered a bit in the beginning, but gave up. She was actually letting me bite her!

I soon restrained myself from her and looked at her as I wiped her blood off my chin. She looked at me shakingly. "You didn't scream...why is that?" I asked her. "I...I...I d...didn't know." She stumbly told me. "Did you like it? Do you like being bitten?" I asked. She didn't reply, but I could tell deep, deep DEEP down inside her eyes that she enjoyed it a bit.

Is it me or is this girl just sick or is she just VERY kinky!?

"My name's Ana by the way. I'm a vampire. What's your name?" I asked trying to make conversation. "My...my name is Melody. And I'm human?" She started out. I rolled my eyes. "Well of course you're human! If you weren't then why else would have I attacked you for?" I asked, not really wanting an answer. "Any way. Don't tell anyone that I'm a vampire alright? If you don't promise me that then I will compel you to forget alright?" I asked, making sure I was clear. "I promise I won't tell." Melody told me. "Okay then, well I better get back on the dance floor. You might want to cover that up with a bandage and a scarf...alright? Okay see ya!" I told her, referring to the bite mark on her neck that was still slightly bleeding, before speeding off out of the bathroom.

I had went back to the punch bowl and placed it in my champagne glass. I had secretly mixed it with actual champagne and maybe tequila!

I soon went to the other side of the prom room. I ended up on the dance floor near the doorway. I soon started to gaze at everyone on that dance floor. The song being played was 'Stay' by Rihanna. My gaze stopped, once it fell on someone. Stefan. He was in a tux, dancing with Elena. It was a slow dance. I couldn't pry my eyes off them. I couldn't deny the fact he looked hot in that tux. I soon started to use my vampire super hearing to hear them talking from the distance.

"So you don't remember what it used to feel like when we would dance? When my hand would touch your waist?" Stefan asked her, while gentle placing his hand on her waist as they danced. "Nope." Elena said, with no emotion. "Hm. What about this? When our fingers would touch?" Stefan asked her, as he entwined his fingers with hers.

Suddenly, something happened. I soon saw a small flash of memories, when Elena and Stefan were together quickly flash before my eyes. I felt something, something I hadn't felt in a LONG time.

Jealousy.

I hadn't felt that, since every time Elena and Stefan would kiss. I soon snapped out of my thoughts as Stefan dipped Elena.

"Does your heart really refuse to remember?" Stefan asked her, before he undipped her. Elena and Stefan were only inches from the face.

The jealousy soon turned worse and deadly.

"What heart?" Elena told him with her breath, before she walked away.

Suddenly, rage washed up over me. The jealousy was now on overload. I felt sadness, anger, betrayal, but most of all I was PISSED OFF!

I slammed my glass of champagne on the one of the prom tables that was near the doorway. I broke the glass, but not the table. The noise startled Stefan slightly. He looked up and saw me. I turned away and walked off, outside. I was upset now. Once I got outside, I heard footsteps approach me from behind. I soon sped off.

I soon stopped speeding and ran at a normal human pace. I was outside near projector screens of the school yearbooks. I was in some of them, but I ignored them. I was too sad and pissed to look at them. I soon stopped and dropped to the floor, where I ended up on my knees. I buried my face in my hands.

What were these...tears?!

My mascara was running down my face, my makeup was smudged, and my eyes were all puffy. I looked like a complete MESS! I was crying softly for a minute before I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder. I looked up from my hands and turned to face the person.

It was the ONLY person that would make me feel better at a time like this...besides Melissa.

Damon.

"You alright?" He asked me. "I don't know anymore, Damon. I don't know. Days ago I had my humanity turned off and here I am crying my heart out. What's wrong with me?! Why am I crying?!" I asked him. Damon crouched down next to me and sighed. "You must have accidentally flipped your switch. Something that was too strong too intense, got you all emotional. What was it?" Damon asked.

"It was Stefan. He was dancing with Elena and I...I don't know I just felt something. And here I am crying." I told him. "Yeah. From what I heard from the past is...no matter how much you stay away from that person or pretend to not care about them...it's crazy...but that love just never dies..." Damon told me. "Yeah...and who ever said that was right." I told him. "Yeah...actually...Both Melissa and Klaus surprisingly told me that one time. I didn't believe them, but they did have a point on it though." He told me. A couple tears fell down, when I was reminded of Melissa.

"Yeah...Melissa really did love you. Even before the compulsion and all. She just loved you. She even told me that before she knew you were a vampire and all she thought that you were the one. That you would get married, have children, grow old, and die... together." I told him. Damon nodded slightly. I could see in his eyes that he was a bit upset that Melissa was dead.

If you look past all of our supernatural dramas and the compulsion, you can see that they REALLY DID love each other! I soon started to cry more for some reason. Damon leaned over to me and let me cry in his chest. I started to make muffle sounds as I cried.

Damon may be a 'not so sentimental' kind of guy, but once you become friends with him, get under his skin, and gain his trust, deep, deep, DEEP down inside...he actually cares!

We stood up and were leaning against a tree. We watched as one of the yearbook pictures on the screen started to show the school's 1960's decade dance with Stefan and Elena dancing. Damon and I were sharing a drink of his flask.

"This prom sucks!" I told him, after taking a drink of his flask. "Why is it the fact that you don't have a date or your boyfriend is moving on?" Damon asked me, taking the flask from my hand, drinking a bit before giving it back. "Both. And also the fact that it's my birthday." I told him, before taking another drink of the flask. Damon was a bit surprised.

"It's your birthday?" He asked me. I nodded. "Yup. It's suppose to be my 18th birthday...and right now...it sucks!" I told him and sighed a bit. "I can't believe, THIS is how I'm suppose to welcome my adulthood! By having a lousy birthday, which is the only other reason, why I even showed up in the first place." I added. "Well, you're a vampire now. You'll have a million birthdays ahead of you." Damon told me, while taking the flask from me and drinking it.

"Yeah, I know that but...this is my first birthday as a vampire...and I want it to be special...at least once." I told him. "I'll tell you what. What I did for you earlier, I NEVER had done that before with my friends, ex girlfriends or even my own brother. So consider it MY birthday gift to you!" Damon told me with a smirk while giving his flask a swing. I smiled a bit.

"ANYONE can give someone a shoulder to 'cry' on, Damon!" I stated. Damon rolled his eyes and placed his hand in his pocket. Then he pulled my car keys out.

"Here you go. While you were gone, I took your car to the auto shop to hook it up. I got it customized with graffiti. You're welcome!" He told me. I look at him in shock.

First of all...NOBODY'S allowed to touch my car, but me! And second of all, HE DID WHAT TO MY CAR!?

"WHAT!?" I asked him. "I said 'I customized it' you're welcome." He repeated. I alsways wanted to get my car custimized, but I never got the chance to do so, with all the drama in my life going on. It took me a minute to process it, but when I did I shrieked in joy. I gave Damon on of my death hugs and shouted in an ear piercing shriek.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Damon! I love you SOO MUCH!" "ALRIGHT!" He yelled, in discomfort. "Sorry!" I told him. "Yeah...don't mention it!" He groaned as he placed his finger in his ear and rubbed it on the inside to fix it back into hearing mode. I couldn't help but put a stupid happy look on my face. I acted like a 7 year old kid, who just found out she's going to Disney world for her birthday! After a while, Damon's ears were fine...ish. LOL, I guess that's the LAST TIME his getting me the BEST GIFT EVER!

Stefan

I ran out to find Ana again, once I was done dancing with Caroline. "Ana...Ana?!" I called out, once I was outside. I found her near the forest. I sped up to her. "Ana..." I started. "Don't!" She started. She had tears in her eyes and looked REALLY pissed. Her makeup was a bit messed up, but I ignored it. "Ana...it's not what it looks like." I told her. She looked at me with fury. "It's not what it looks like!? What do you fucking mean it's NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE?! Stefan you hurt me. You told me you loved me and then...then...there you are ready to kiss Elena right on that dance floor! What if I wasn't even here tonight? Huh. What if I didn't come here for prom and stayed in Pennsylvania? You said you were over her and that you wanted to move on with me. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS MOVING ON WITH ME?!" She shouted at me.

"Ana, I AM over her I AM! I only did that to bring her humanity back. To stir up her emotions." I admitted to her. "Her what? Her feelings for you!?" She asked me in anger. I sighed. "No...Ana...look." I started. "No...you know what Stefan...screw you!...screw Elena! I'm out of here!" She shouted, before she sped off into the woods. I sped after her. I couldn't find her anywhere.

"Stefan...Stefan help me!" I heard Ana's voice somewhere. "Stefan where the hell are you! It's...it's Silas! He has Ana! Let her go you creep!" I heard Damon say. I went out into the woods, to see what was going on. I saw Damon. By himself.

"Damon...where's Ana?" I asked him. He looked at me and didn't reply. "Damon where is she!?" I repeated. "The witch is mine Stefan...stay away from her!" Damon told me, before speeding up to me and staking me in the stomach. "Silas!" I shouted through my teeth. I fell against the tree unable to move much. "You're correct. I disguised myself as your older brother and your pretty girlfriend." He told me. "What did you do to them!?" I yelled out. "Nothing. At least not yet. I'll see you later." He told me before changing into me and speeding off.

Ana

After a while, Stefan showed up outside. I started to automatically wipe away any evidence of left over messed up mascara.

"Stefan..." I said through my teeth and under my breath. "Ana...Damon are you looking for Silas or are you waxing nostalgic about misspent youth?" Stefan asked Damon, while ignoring me. "What happened to you being over it?" He asked Stefan for me. What a good friend! "What do you mean?" He asked Damon. "Well, I mean, for a guy who's moving on with his former girlfriend, you seemed pretty convincing as a boyfriend out on the dance floor with your ex." Damon stated.

"I mean isn't that what we're doing? Reminding of Elena's of what she's lost?" Stefan pointed out. "You mean her feelings for you?" Damon and I asked him with a scowl. "Yeah. Yeah, maybe." Stefan said. I felt broken, but I kept my posture. "Really?" I asked Stefan with scowl again. "I mean... I don't mean to be a dick, Damon and Ana, but Elena and I have history. Memories, Laughs, ups and downs. It's a real relationship. I mean, what you had was a one night stand that was probably the result to the sire bond. Same for you Ana. It was just a couple one night stands. It didn't mean anything. I felt nothing." Stefan said.

Now...I Felt COMPLETELY broken! Damon was more upset than me, and he sped towards Stefan to attack him. "Damon, don't!" I shouted out at him as he did so. I soon sped up to him to stop him, but I was too late. When Stefan stabbed him in the stomach and I leaped back.

"Your mind is a dark and riveting place, Damon." Stefan whispered in his ear. What the fuck was going on!? "Ugh! Silas. Where's my brother, you psychic freak?!" Damon demanded him.

Silas looks like my boyfriend? WHAT THE FUCK MAN!?

"He's in the woods, where I convinced him I was you and Ana. He's probably in a bit of pain now, too. The witch is mine. Stay away from her." Silas told him. He then looked up at me and sped up to me. He started to choke me against a tree. "Don't worry, darling...I'll bring back your sister and all you've lost...but first...I need you to sleep. And also..." He continued.

I don't know what else he said. All I know is when he was done. I blacked out.

The Parking Lot.

I was in the parking lot. I was knocked out, but I woke up by the sound of the car alarms. I saw Bonnie a distance away. She was talking to...Jeremy?

Wait...I thought he was dead?!

I walked slowly near them. "Get out of my head!" I heard Bonnie yell at him. Suddenly...he just disappeared. Freaky!

I shook my head trying to remember, how I even got in the parking lot in the first place? I soon snapped out of my thoughts seeing that Elena was attacking Bonnie. I sped up to them, trying to release Bonnie from Elena's grasp, but they already parted. Elena was some how, I don't know how, but she was choking. Bonnie's neck had healed supernaturally.

Weird?

She soon rose up and started to attack Elena with her magic. I heard she was still using Expression.

"Bonnie, stop! You're hurting her!" I yelled at her. She didn't listen. Then Damon and Stefan came out to help Elena. "Stay away from me!" I shouted at Stefan... is that even who I should call him? "Ana...I'm...I'm not Silas." He told me. "Prove it." I challenged him. "I don't have time for this I need to save Elena. She's going to die!" He told me. "Yup, That's him." I said to myself.

They're ALWAYS trying to save Elena's life. And lately,... its become REALLY annoying! I started to shake Bonnie trying to break her from her trance. "Bonnie..listen to me please...you don't want to do this. Look at me..I'm your friend Bonnie...and I'm telling you not to kill Elena...just spare her...for me...for our friendship...for yourself... I know this is messed up, but she's still your friend. Remember before all this drama, we were all like sisters. I don't want that gone and neither do you. Please Bonnie. please." I told her.

Boonie soon stopped staring at Elena, and looked at me. Tears were stinging her eyes a bit, but she forced them back. Eventually, She stopped and left. Stefan jabbed Elena with a vervain syringe, while helping her up and we went to the Boarding house.

"Look...Ana..." Stefan started after, he had helped Damon place Elena's body in their cellar. "Don't. I know what you were trying to do and it's okay. Oh and by the way. What ever you were trying to do to effect her,...well, it didn't work on her...it worked on me." I told him, before walking off outside. I stopped dead on my tracks when I saw someone out there.

Tyler.

I ran to him in a human pace and hugged him to death. Tears were starting to form in my eyes. "Oh my God! Tyler! I'm so happy to see you! Wait why are you here? If Klaus finds you...he'll..." I started. "I know, I know. I just needed to see you. Before I leave." He told me. "What!? you're leaving again? No, Ty, no please stay! I need you! Melissa just died and..." I started. "I'm sorry, Ana...I want to stay with you and Caroline and the others, but if I stay Klaus will kill me. Until he's gone I'll be back. I promise. This isn't goodbye. This is just until we find a way. I promise." He told me. "Oh, my God! Caroline!..." I started out.

"Don't worry...I already went out to see her, before coming here. I forgot to tell you goodbye, before you went to find the cure. I missed you." He told me. "I missed you too." I said. "You...you look different...paler." He told me. "I'm a vampire now!" I told him, smiling willingly. He looked at me with a shocked and surprised expression on his face. "Don't worry...I'm okay. I know how to keep control, I finished my transition, I already have a daylight ring...I'll be fine...I promise." I told him, showing him my right hand with the daylight ring. "Okay then, if you say so." He told me with a concern smile, before hugging me again.

"Happy Birthday, Ana...I'm sorry I didn't give you a present." He added. I shook my head and said, "No, you're the BEST present you could have ever given me!" "Goodbye, Ana...for now" He told me in my ear. "Goodbye, Ty! I love you!" I told him. "I love you too." He told me calmly. I tried so hard not to break down right now. I looked at Tyler after he unhugged me and he looked at me for a while. When I blinked a bit, he sped away. I stood there standing. Alone.

I turned my head back at the doorway. There I saw Stefan standing there. He looked at me with pity, not sure what to tell me. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. I smiled sadly. I soon snapped and sped all the way to him. To his arms. I accidentally knocked him back into the house, into the wall. But we were okay. I cried on his shoulder as he caressed my hair softly telling me it'll be okay. I wanted to believe him...but I couldn't. I've lost too many people in my life, that I stopped believing that we'd be okay. Or at least I'd be okay. The only family I had left was Katherine and Elena. The only problem was I was sired to Katherine, and Elena had no humanity, so she wouldn't give a crap about me. I basically, had no family left. All I had...was the Salvatore brothers.

Night Time

I had an hour before my birthday was over. I was in Stefan's room. I sat down on his bed, just in time for Stefan to walk into the room with a cupcake, that had a birthday candle on it, which was lit. I smiled/smirked at him a bit.

"Hey...I know this is last minute but...happy birthday!" He told me. "You remembered!" I faked cheer. "Of course, I did. I wouldn't forget my own girlfriend's birthday party, now would I?" He told me. "Make a wish." He told me. I laughed slightly. I remembered as a little girl, I thought that if you make a wish on your birthday candle it is sure to come true. I sure did learn that the hard way! I did it anyway out of fun. I closed my eyes and blew out the candles, wishing that my life wouldn't be so difficult and I could find happiness for once. "Thank you." I told him.

"You are welcome and now...the birthday girl needs a prom dance for once." He told me. I looked at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? Proms over." I informed him. "Not for us...it isn't" He told me. He grabbed my hand and we started to slow dance to no music. Only the rhytem of our breathing.

"Well...this is nice." I told him, with a smile. "Oh, really?" He asked me. "Yeah. Yeah it is. It's just you and me...I could dance with you forever." I told him. "Hm? I'll keep that in mind." He told me. I laughed a bit. Stefan smiled. "I missed that." He said. I looked at him in confusion and asked, "Missed what?" "Your laugh, your smile, your voice, everything. I missed everything about you." He told me. I sighed slightly. "I'm sorry." I told him softly. "There's nothing to be sorry about." He told me. I shook my head. "No, I'm sorry for turnig my humanity off, I'm sorry for..." I started out, but was cut off, once he said,

"It's okay. You were going through a rough time. I understand, its happened to me before. But you know I could have helped you with your grieveing you know?" I nodded slightly, "I know. Its just all I had on my mind was turning it off, turning it off, turning it off and when I did that's when I realized you could have helped me, but it was too late." I told him. "And I'm REALLY sorry for stabbing you." I added. "It's okay...it was your only way out. You know what? It doesn't matter anymore. It's all in the past. I'm just glad your okay and that your here with me now." He told me. I smiled slightly at this.

"You know I missed you like crazy these last few days." He added. "Yeah, I know. I missed you too." I told him. He soon leaned in to kiss me. He wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer. I held him down to deepen the kiss. After a little make out session, I deeply wanted him. He sped me into his bed. I used my speed to flip him over. I was in control NOW!

I was on top and I took control. I stopped kissing him and demanded him, "DO NOT RIP THE DRESS!" He nodded slightly with a smirk and we continued. After the night we went to sleep. I guess my 18th birthday and prom night wasn't a complete and TOTAL bust!

(Ana has her humanity back, YAY! I missed her a bit. Sorry if I brought it back too early, but it should be interesting to know if it effected her or not. Also, Tyler comes back into town to wish Ana happy birthday, that was sweet of you Ty! Ana's 18 now! That's pretty cool, and Damon and Ana's friendship are unbreakably, sweet! I bet you're wondering if Melody is the new character...she is and this WON'T be the last time we'll see her. I bet you're also thinking...'WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT HER?!' Don't worry...don't worry, you'll find out why. Also it's obvious that Silas had compelled Ana, but what did he compel her to do?! Is it going to spill trouble with her and the Salvatores? or is it something else...? We'll see soon. Hope you'll stick around!)

(Fun fact:...I wrote this story back in 26/03/13 and decided to publish it after getting an account and finishing the 4th season finale. I may have added a few things, but overall it's still the same. Some of my predictions on the earlier chapters, surprisingly happened on the show...well, some of it...anyway...that's my silly little fun fact...now, back to the show! :))
