I heard the doorbell ring throughout the boarding house. I jumped up the small two steps and opened the door, with my phone by my ear. I opened the door to see Elena standing there.
"Hey Doc, I wanted to talk to you." I spoke to the phone when the dial tone stopped. Elena looked at me weirdly and I pointed to my phone.
"I normally don't get calls from you, Allye. What's going on?" Deaton said on the other end. I waved Elena in and she mouthed a thank you and I nodded with a smile.
"Well you're the only person who I know that knows a lot about the supernatural." I closed the door and it made a soft click noise as I did.
"Ah, yes Scott told me you had to handle a little Werewolf problem in Mystic Falls."
"Well it's not a little problem anymore, more like a gigantic problem. An old friend of mine showed up and she's the Alpha of her pack. And you should know where the Alpha goes…"
"The pack follows. So you may have an entire pack of Werewolves on your hands. Not even an Alpha of your species can handle an entire pack."
"And don't I know it. This would be so much different if I had my pack here, but all of them are at Beacon Hills."
"By pack you mean Grayson, Jasmine, Finn, and Jake?"
"Yes, I didn't train them for two months in our hideout for nothing."
"Have you ever thought about making a new member?" I saw Damon walk up to me and dangled his car keys in front of my face and motioned to the door.
"You mean give somebody The Bite? Won't making an entirely new Werewolf defeat the purpose I'm trying to do here?" Damon tilted his head and a serious look was on his face.
"You're the Alpha Allye, and if you make them nobody else can order them around besides you. And with the proper training they can help you with this Werewolf problem. Scott did say you were the one who taught him how to control his inner wolf. Within a week he grasped the concept of being a Werewolf faster than I've ever seen in a new wolf."
"Agh, I hate it when you make good points there Doc. Oh and before I let you go, do you know how to cure a Werewolf bite? And I don't mean that for humans."
"It's been a long time since I was asked about a Werewolf bite on a Vampire. I've been searching for that cure for years and so far the only cure that I know of is death." I let out a sigh and ran my hand through my hair.
"Well thanks anyways, Doc."
"And Allye, I was serious about the new member. There is no way a single Werewolf can handle all this, even for your species. You need to think about recruiting and besides the bigger the pack…"
"The stronger the Alpha. I'll think about it, bye." I hung up and Damon crossed his arms.
"You're not seriously thinking about turning anyone?" He asked as I opened the front door.
"Doc was right, this Werewolf problem is getting too big for just me to handle. And don't even say you and Stefan can help, you two are Vampires. One bite and you guys are finished, finito. So yeah I'm probably going to turn someone." I argued to him as we walked down the front porch and towards his 1967 Chevy Camaro.
"Well in that case, there has to be one condition." Damon said walking around his car and stopped at the driver's side.
"And what's that?" I asked, leaning my arms on the roof of the car.
"It can't be a guy." Damon said utterly serious.
"Awe, is the big bad Vampire afraid that a new pup will take away his girl?"I said teasingly as I opened the car door and slid in.
"Well Vampires are territorial like Werewolves. And you wolfie, are mine." Damon stated as he got into his seat.
"Same goes for you." I told him smugly. He sent me a smirk as he closed the door and started the engine.
"I said no, Allye." Caroline stated as she walked around the school yard.
Damon had dropped me off at the school since I told Caroline I'd help with setting up the Booster Club barbeque. I figured I might as well get the recruiting out of the way.
"Caroline, there is going to be an entire Werewolf pack here pretty soon and I can't handle all of them. I need another one of my kind to help. So please tell me if there is anyone here who you think would deserve The Bite." I pleaded with her.
"I had to watch Tyler go through his transformation last night. He was in so much pain. I don't want somebody else to go through that." Caroline told strictly.
"My species is different, we don't go through that. For their species it's a curse, for mine it's a gift. And I would teach them to control it, now please Caroline." Caroline looked at me and she sighed, giving in.
"Fine, what exactly are you looking for?" She asked, crossing her arms.
"Anyone who doesn't know what strength is, someone who will honestly respect it. Someone with an incurable disease would also work." I answered.
"I think I know someone, her name is Megan Frost. I've known her since the seventh grade. She was diagnosed with HIV that year. The doctors told her she'd be lucky if she ever made it to eighteen years old with how fast her disease has progressed." Caroline said sighing.
"And where is Megan?" I asked, Caroline looked away and I followed her gaze. A girl with shoulder length blonde wavy hair and green eyes was helping stack some cups on a table. She looked extremely pale and frail, like a fragile doll that would break if you dropped them.
"Thanks Caroline. I'll handle it from here." I put a hand on her shoulder reassuringly and walked over to Megan.
"Megan Frost." I said as I approached her. She looked up at me and a soft smile formed on her lips.
"That's me, how can I help you?" Even her voice sounded fragile.
"My name's Allye Hale and I think I can help you." I answered her with a smile on my face, "Caroline told me about your HIV and apparently it's been developing pretty fast." Her face went a ghostly white and she stared at me with wide eyes.
"W-Why would she tell you about that?" She stuttered.
"What if I told you there's a way where your disease and all the tests would disappear forever?" I asked taking a step closer.
"T-That's not possible, there is no medical cure for HIV." Megan stuttered once again and took a step back.
"Who said anything about it being medical?" Megan's breath hitched in her throat as she watched my eyes flash to crimson red.
"So when will it heal?" Megan asked as I placed a large cloth bandage on her side.
"Either noon or evening tomorrow. Once this heals you call me, okay? That means you're officially a Werewolf." She nodded and pulled down her shirt to cover up the bandage covered bite.
That's when I heard a loud frantic scream, "What was that?" Megan asked frantically.
"I don't know but stay behind me." I ordered and made my way through the parking lot. That's when I saw an out of control Rose being pinned down by Damon and Elena by him.
"What happened?" I asked jogging over to them.
"I-I didn't mean to kill them!" Rose sobbed, the smell of blood hit my nose and I saw a young couple dead.
"Megan, what are you doing here?" Elena asked, her eyes wide.
"So she's the one you picked?" I nodded, confirming Damon's question.
"Picked? What's going on?" Elena asked.
"I gave her The Bite. She's turning into a Werewolf." I answered and Elena looked at Megan in shock. The tension was interrupted when Rose wailed in pain and thrashed on the ground.
"Oh, make it stop, please make it stop! I hate it, make it stop!" Rose yelled out in agony.
"Sit her up." I demanded and knelt by Damon who gave me a confused look, "Just do it, I'm trying to help her." Damon nodded and sat up Rose.
"Rose, Rose, look at me. I'm going to take away some of the pain, okay?" I cooed to her. I gently placed my hand on the infected bite and my veins slowly turned black and started to move underneath my skin.
"What are you doing?" Damon asked seeing my veins.
"I'm absorbing her pain." Rose's cries in pain ceased and only choked sobs escaped her lips as she started to calm down, "That's all I can do to help her." I said taking my hand away and the black in my veins vanished as my healing abilities did their job.
"Megan, Elena you two need to go home. We'll handle it from here." I ordered as Damon picked up Rose bridal style. Megan nodded numbly, still in shock from what she saw.
I wiped the last of the blood around Rose's mouth and pulled the sheets up to her chin. I've never felt so utterly useless in my entire life, the only thing I could was take away the pain. I looked at Rose sadly as I gently ran my hand through her hair. I only knew her for a week at most, but she already felt like a close friend to me. I knew she grew closer to Damon as friends though, she explained to me that she and Damon were a lot alike. I remember her telling me that I was lucky that I had someone like Damon, somebody who loved me unconditionally.
"Hey," I turned my head to see Damon leaning against his bedroom doorframe, "You should go home. I can handle this from here." He assured as he strode over to me.
"I don't know, if she wakes up in pain again the least I can do for her is to take away that pain." I said sighing and looked down at Rose's sleeping form.
"You're going to exhaust yourself with all this worry." I let out a scoff at Damon's statement.
"And you're not?" I asked looking at him.
"That would be human of me." I rolled my eyes at his response, there he goes again pretending not to care. I looked at Rose again and anger started to run through my veins. This was Jules fault…no it was mine.
"This is my fault." I muttered and clenched my hands into fists and Damon looked at me in surprise.
"How is any of this your fault?" He asked looking at me.
"If I had done what I was supposed to do in the first place, none of this would have happened!" I ranted and stood up and paced angrily around the room, "If I had just forced Mason to leave Mystic Falls, then he wouldn't be dead and Jules wouldn't be looking for him! Tyler would still be human, Rose would be fine, and an entire pack of Werewolves wouldn't be coming to Mystic Falls!" I clenched my hands hard enough to where my own claws pierced through my skin. My body shook as I tried to control my anger, and blood dripped from my fists and onto the floor.
"Allye-"
"I got to go. My anger is getting out of control." I muttered and stormed off. As I ran down the stairs, I walked past Elena who stopped and tried to call out my name but I ignored her.
After walking aimlessly through the forest for fifteen minutes, I had found a decent tall tree to climb. High places always cleared my thoughts and calmed me down for some reason. I reached a thick branch and sat on it and leaned against the trunk. I looked at the night starry night sky and a look of pain swept across my face.
"What would you have done differently, Laura?" I whispered out loud while I continued to stare into the night sky, "I wish you were still here, you always seemed to know what to do." I whispered out loud once again.
I took one last glance at the night sky before I sighed and jumped out of the tree. I landed on my feet and stood up straight, dusting off my pants in the process.
I took one step and a frantic scream reached my ears, and the smell of blood made my nostrils flare. My instincts kicked into gear and I ran off in the direction where I smelled the blood. The scent led me to the main road and I froze seeing a familiar Vampire looming over the corpse of a red headed woman.
"Damon?" The said Vampire sharply turned to me and he had a look of surprise on his face.
My breath hitched in my throat, I've never seen what a Vampire looks like with their powers showing before. The white sclera of his eyes were crimson red, black veins under his eyes, and the two sharp canine teeth that were currently stained with blood.
"Hey it's oka-"
"It's not okay, Allye! This is who I am! I'm not supposed to care because I'm not human! I can't be what other people want me to be! I'm a monster that is meant for killing!" Right before my eyes Damon was breaking apart and was showing the vulnerable side of him. The side that Katherine left a deep wound that only scarred over instead of healing.
"Damon, listen to me. You're not the only one, I'm a Werewolf and it makes me a monster too." I soothed softly and I stepped closer to him, "I understand what you're going through. You're supposed to be a monster that has no feelings and some people try to change who you are. But believe me one of these days they're going to have to learn that they can't change a person, no matter how hard they try." Damon continued to stare at me with his vampiric features still on his face.
"When Laura died, I stopped caring…I stopped trying to act human. I gave in to my Werewolf side and threatened humans to get what I wanted. Two teenage boys tried to change me, but it never worked. One day they gave up trying and accepted me for who I am. I know it feels horrible right now, but one of these days Stefan and Elena are going to have to accept it. It will get better." I assured him and I wrapped my arms around his neck, and his arms slowly went around my waist.
"How can you be so sure?" His voice was hoarse and sounded broken.
"Because some people have already accepted it, Ric, Liz, and me. We all know who you really are and we cope with it, instead of trying to go against it." I leaned back against his arms and gently placed my hands on the sides of his face.
The pads of my thumbs gently brushed against his face, and his vampiric features started to vanish. The sclera was back to white, the veins disappeared, and his canines returned to normal size.
"How is it that you know exactly what to say?" Damon asked softly as he grabbed both my hands off his face.
"After being a Werewolf for ten years, you learn a trick or two of how to calm someone down." I said letting out a small smile, "Now you go ahead and head home, I'll handle this. I can make it look like her car broke down and she got attacked by a feral wolf." I said sighing and stepped back, surveying the damage.
"Allye," I turned back to Damon who had a pleading look on his face, "Could you come by the boarding house after this?" I smiled at him and nodded. He seemed relieved to see my answer and a gust of wind blew past me, and Damon was no longer standing there.
I sighed and looked at the mess in front me. This was going to take a while to make it look like a frenzy animal attack.
There you have it. We find that Allye left her pack behind in Beacon Hills and decided to add a new member: Megan Frost. With a new Werewolf to train on top of a Werewolf pack problem and the deal with Klaus, Allye has her hands full. But with Rose now dead thanks to Jules, Allye's ready to strike back. Stay tune for the next chapter. Until then everyone, see ya! :D
