Light's Go Out
Chapter 6 - Portland
Allie's POV (FIESTA - IZ*ONE)
Nik and I arrived in Portland, I've never been here before. "Why Portland?" I asked Nik.
"Well there is a big werewolf clan here, I'm friends with the Alpha. They are sick of turning every full moon." He told me.
I nodded, "I hope they don't kill Tyler back home." I say to him.
He looked at me, "Don't worry Rebekah is looking after him. They'll inform me if they pull anything stupid." Nik told me. "Also love, this is where I sent Jenna, want to see her?" He asked me.
I nodded, "Yes please." I said to him. He kissed my forehead.
"Let's go and see them then love." He grabbed my hand pulling in the direction.
Elena's POV (When The Party's Over - Billie Eilish)
I was wide awake in my bed, my alarm went off. It's 5:15 a.m. I get up and look in the mirror. I look at the bite mark on her neck and cover it with make-up. I walked out of my room and saw Alaric walking slowly downstairs.
I tell him, "Good morning." He doesn't answer; he seems to have a hangover. I trained with Alaric, he showed me how to stake a vampire with a sleeve that had two stakes in it.
"So the pressure of your punch ejects the stakes." He told me.
"Easy enough." I tried but the stakes stayed in the sleeve. "That's weird." I tried again but it didn't work. I shake my head, "Must be jammed or something."
He shakes his head, "You're not strong enough. Better start lifting some weights, put some meat on your bones." He told me.
"Thanks for not sugar-coating it." I tell him, he takes something out of his bag and showed me it.
"You know what this is?" He asked me.
I look at it, "A vervain grenade. I've used one before." I tell him.
"Then you know the element of surprise is your only advantage when it comes to a vampire." He pulls the pin out of a grenade and throws it in my hand. "Surprise."
"Oh my god." I panic and throw it in the air and the grenade explodes. "This isn't a joke to me, Ric." I angrily pull off her sleeve.
He shakes his head, "You think I'm joking? Vampires will take whatever they want. They will hurt whoever they want. And they'll do it without remorse. It's their nature." He told me.
"You don't have to use pronouns. You can say Stefan." I told him, folding my arms across my chest.
He sighed, "Look, I get why you're here. Stefan hurt you. You don't want it to happen again." He said to me.
"But you think that I'm crazy. To believe that I can protect myself from a vampire who's flipped the switch on his humanity." I tell him.
"I think you found a way to get out of bed this morning. And that makes you the strongest person I know. I think that you can do pretty much anything." He tells me, he gave me the sleeve with the stakes. I put the sleeve back on.
Allie's POV (HUSH - EVERGLOW)
Nik took me to Jenna's house, he knocked on the door. She opened the door, she looked at me and hugged me. "Oh my god, I've missed you Allie." She told me.
I see Jeremey, what is he doing here.
"Wait what are you doing here Jer?" I asked him.
"Well Caroline's mum killed me after the ritual and Bonnie brought me back. I needed to leave that hell hole." Jeremey told me.
I hugged him tightly, "They didn't tell me that, they didn't say anything about you." I tell him.
I looked at Nik, he just smiled at me. "You got a real looker there Allie." Jenna told me, causing me to giggle.
I followed them inside, Jenna looked at Nik. "Come in Nik." He walked inside. I told Jenna what they did to John.
Jeremey hugged me. "I tried to stop them, but Damon snapped my neck." He told me.
He was pissed at Elena and Damon. Jenna looked at me, "Did you enjoy your summer?" She asked me.
I nodded, "Yep, been to Chicago, Tennessee and Florida." I tell her.
She smiled, "You always did wanna see the world." She said to me.
Nik chuckled, "I plan on showing her more of the world. You can return to Mystic Falls if you wish." He told Jenna, she smiled at him.
"Thank you, if it wasn't for Allie. Elena would have let you use me or Jeremey in the ritual. I will return soon." She told him.
Rebekah's POV (Hands Up - Cherry Bullet)
I was helping Nik, he took Allie to see Jenna and Jeremey. I could hear Damon questioning Stefan about Klaus.
"So this is what Klaus had in mind when he compelled you to protect Elena?" Damon asked him.
Stefan groaned, "These ladies are helping me be all that I can be."
I giggled and knocked at the door. "Where's Stefan?" I asked Damon.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked me.
I walked past him, "He left me here. Both of them. My brother and new sister actually left me here." I told Stefan.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Your tone implies that I'm actually supposed to care." He told me.
Damon sighed, "You're Klaus's sister?" He asked me.
I turned to face him, "Rebekah. Pleasure, I'm sure. Which one's my room?" I asked Stefan.
Stefan told me, "You're not staying here." I look at Damon but he doesn't say anything. "Rude. Both of you. I'll see to it myself." I go toward the stairs. Once inside a room I message Klaus, Inside Damon and Stefan's house. Will message if they start anything.
Nik messaged me back saying keep me posted.
Allie's POV (Bad Karma - Ida Maria)
Nik walked back in, I was happy, Nik kissed the top of my head.
Nik looked at his phone, "Rebekah is keeping an eye on Damon and Stefan." He told me, Jenna and Jeremey.
There was a knock at the door Jenna answered the door, it was Mason she kissed him. "Mason, you're alive?" I asked.
He nodded, "Yeah, thank god for a back-up witch getting me out of there before Damon killed me. Hey Nik long time no see." He said to Nik.
"Love this is the Alpha I was talking about." Nik told me.
He looked at me, "Is Tyler ok?" He asked me.
I nodded, "He's a hybrid. He doesn't have to change now." I told him.
Mason smiled, "Good he shouldn't have to go through that." He told me.
Nik grabbed my hand, "Let's go and make Mason and his clan hybrids." He said to me. I nodded, I hug Jer and Jenna.
"Don't tell Elena I was here Jer." I tell him.
He chuckled, "I won't, she thinks I'm dead." He said to me.
"You should have a normal life Jeremey." I tell him. He still had John's ring.
He nodded, "You know what, I kind of wanna help with this hybrid making and look out for Tyler." He told me.
Nik, Jenna and I, looked at Jeremey in shock. "Are you serious? Elena will have Damon kill you." I tell him.
He shrugged, "Elena is dead to me, Elena uses everyone and has ruined my life." He said to me.
I looked at him, "Jeremey did she ask Damon to compel you? Because she told him to do the same when Vickie died." I asked him.
He nodded, I looked at Nik who looked pissed. "Is there any way to get back what they took?" Jeremey asked Nik.
"I can make you remember." Nik said to Jeremy, "Are you on vervain?" Nik asked Jeremy, Jeremey nods.
"We'll need a witch. I have a friend, I'll call my friend Kai." Nik said to Jeremey. Jeremey nodded.
"Thank you, Klaus." Jeremy told him. Nik nodded, giving me a hug.
Elena's POV (Sorry not Sorry - Demi Lovato)
"Hello, Elena." Stefan said to me.
I begin to panic, "What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"What do you mean? I'm going back to school. Go Timberwolves!" He said to me acting cocky.
I asked him, "What? Why?"
"Klaus wants me to keep an eye on you. I'm just doing what I'm told." He told me.
"I'm going to be late for class." I tried to leave but he grabs me by the arm and stops me.
"Oh, class is this way." He told me.
I tried to pull my arm, "Let go of me, Stefan." I tell him.
"Elena, do you think I want to be a senior for the 100th time? No. But if I don't have a choice in the matter, then neither do you." He told me.
"I said let go of me." Alaric walked up behind me.
"Let her go." Alaric told him. Stefan pushes him against the locker.
"Stefan, stop it!" I begged him.
"You're not gonna want to get in my way. Okay Ric? I will see you both in history." He tells him then leaves.
Nik's POV (WANT - TAEMIN)
After turning all the wolves, Tyler messaged me saying they are trying to lore Stefan into a trap.
Alexa could sense something was off, "What are the Scooby gang up to now?" I asked him. Mason woke up, I gave him Elena's blood.
"Give this to your men, stay safe friend." I told Mason.
I walked up to Allie, "It would seem that they are trying to capture Stefan to hopefully take my compulsion away." I told her.
"Elena must be bored of Damon already." She said to me.
"Well she is more like Tatia than Katerina." I told her.
She looked at me, "The original doppelganger?" She asked me.
I nodded, "She was with Elijah and would try to play with my emotions at times also. It put a rift between me and Elijah." I told her, she nodded.
"I know what it's like, Elena tried to manipulate me to go against my dad. She tried to pull the wool over everyone's eyes back home. The golden child, adoptive parent's die in a car crash and she walks away fine." She tells me.
She is finally letting it all out, "She can take my friends...but she won't take you, Jenna, Jeremey, Elijah and Rebekah away from me. I'll kill Damon to prove a point." She said to me.
"Well I'll have to teach you some things." I said to her.
Mason chuckles, "I taught her how to protect herself. Jenna made me do it." Mason is leaning against a tree with Jeremey.
I chuckle, "Thanks mate." I tell him, Mason nods. Mason and Jenna hug before heading back to the cabin.
"Nik, can you turn me?" She asked me.
I looked at her, "Love, I want you to be truly ready. Not to do it out of hate...but I will. Not today." I told her, we walked back to the van.
Jeremy came with us to the van. I was happy I had my brother back.
Rebekah's POV (I Like It - Cardi B)
I arrived at the cheerleading opening, Alexa told me she was a cheerleader but got kicked off thanks to the Barbie doll wanna be.
"Sounds like you have an opening on the squad." I state to everyone.
Caroline looked at me, "What are you doing?" She asked me. I just stretch but Caroline is still standing next to me. "Hey. Hey. You can't just come here and infiltrate all of our lives."
"I'm only interested in yours. Your spunk, your popularity." I tell her and look at Tyler practicing on the field. "Maybe even your boyfriend."
I make impressive gymnastic moves that end with a front split. I look at Caroline and Tyler with a smile. Tyler is smirking, I hear him say. "Wow she's got moves, Allie and Rebekah would make great routines."
I stood up and talked to the girls, they let me on the squad. I message Allie telling her that I made the squad and something is going down at the bonfire tonight.
At the bonfire, I was looking for Tyler. "You alright there?" Stefan asked me.
"I thought Tyler would be here." I told him, he shot me a look.
"You're into Tyler now? That's kind of fickle." He asked me in a mocking fashion.
I looked at him, "When you're willing to give me the time of day again, then we'll talk. Until then, a girl has needs." I tell him, dopplebitch arrives and pours herself some beer.
"Excuse me." She said.
Stefan went into, stalker mood. "Elena, hi. What are you doing?" He asked her
"I'm having fun, Stefan. You have a problem with that?" She drinks the whole glass of beer.
He looks at her, "All right, take it easy. We both know you're kind of a lightweight."
"Uh-huh. Really? You think I'm going to let a blood addict tell me how to drink?" She leaves. I looked at Stefan. He walks off, there up to something. Need to find Tyler quickly.
I was sitting near a campfire holding a marshmallow over it on a stick. Damon comes and sits down next to me. I really wish Allie and Nik were here.
"What? No friends your own age?" I asked him.
He smirked at me, "Like you can talk." He said to me. I bring the burning marshmallow to her mouth and blow it out. It's burnt.
"Is this supposed to be fun? I've been through 10 of these." I said to him.
He chuckles, "No, you're just looking at it all wrong. This is a little rough on the outside."
He says pulling off the burnt outer layer of the marshmallow. "But the inside...Yum."
He moves the stick and puts the marshmallow in her mouth. I ate it and looked at him. He licks his fingers.
"Mmm. It's good." I tell him.
"Yep." He said to me. He was still with me. He gives her a marshmallow sandwich. "Can't believe you've never had one of these before."
I tell him, "Well, I've been in a casket for ninety years."
"That's no excuse." He said, he is up to something. I play along, I'm better at this game unlike this baby.
"Why are you being so nice to me? You hate me. You should be mean." I tell him.
He sighed, "Well, I could be mean if that's what you're into." He said to me, I stand up.
"You're distracting me. Why?" I asked him, he clicked that I was on to him.
"Just trying to be a good housemate." He said.
"There's never a fair fight between us, Damon. Remember that." I tell him, I stab him with a wooden stick and leave. He groans, sits down and removes it.
I messaged Alexa to tell Nik Damon and Stefan are fishing for something to possibly kill Nik.
Allie's POV (Scream - Dreamcatcher)
I felt my phone vibrate, it was Bekah. Damon and Stefan are fishing for something to possibly kill Nik.
I showed Nik, he looks pissed. "They're gonna look for the white oak." He muttered.
I looked at him worrying, "Nik no matter, happens I promise, I won't leave you." I tell him.
"We need to find Kai Parker." Nik said. "He can help us remove Jeremy's compulsion." Nik said to all of us.
Jeremy looked at me, "Didn't Damon compel you?" He asked me.
"Elijah removed my compulsion." I told him.
"I'll have Kai check sometimes that won't work." He told me and Jeremy. We nodded in agreement, the witch Kai sounded like our best option right now.
A/N - I'll be making slight changes to the episodes from here. Caroline will be shipped with Kol. Matt with Rebekah and Davina with Kai. Damon won't pick Elena, I wanna ship Damon with Bonnie.
