OUTTAKE

by Amy Rich (and temporarily hated by Rebecca)

It was the 1st of April, in the year 2011...

When Rebecca turned to Amy and asked, "whatever happened to Damon? Do you think my calling him to the cave worked?"

"I don't know." Amy replied, bored with Rebecca's Damon drivel.

"Well?" Rebecca asked, her face pleading.

Amy sighed after a moment. "How badly must you know this time?"

"Yay!" Rebecca cheered, "Come on, let's go!"

And so the two girls found themselves back in the dark cave.

"So," Rebecca asked, her voice a bit shaky as she and Amy cautiously began to explore the cave for a sign of the vampire, "where do you think Dam-AAHH!"

Rebecca let out a blood curdling scream of fright and despair as a small amount of light revealed Damon-a stake through his chest.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Rebecca screamed. "HOW COULD SHE?"

"Help. Me." a pleading voice came from where Damon was slumped against a wall.

"Whoa! Is he still alive?" Amy gasped as she watched Damon's lips twitch while he pleaded for help. "Rebecca! It's okay! He's okay!"

"Help..." Damon groaned again.

"But..." Rebecca spoke softly, tears stuck to her face from her momentary mourning, "but-the, the stake...heart...dead..." Words seemed to fail her then as her voice died out.

"Oh, please," a familiar voice scoffed from behind them, causing everyone to look for the person to whom it belonged. "Do you really consider me to be above the influence of a good April Fool's? You should know better than to assume that I would actually kill him."

"April Fools?" Rebecca repeated, her voice hollow.

"Duh!" Katherine replied.

"You call this-" Amy questioned, pointing at Damon's weak form behind her, "an April Fools joke?"

This time it was Damon who answered as he wakly said, "Very...Dedicated..."

"Indeed," Katherine smiled smugly. "But now Damon here has served his purpose, I'll just up and let him free."

And with another smile, she sauntered over and yanked the stake from Damon's chest.
