Hey, everyone! So, here's a new chapter.
IMPORTANT! I decided to change how the character looks. Now, my OC (Tori) looks like Taylor Momsen. I'm sorry and this won't happen again. Why did I do that? Well, it's more for the future chapters, because I thought a lot and came to the conclusion that what I have in store for the future chapters wouldn't really look good on V.J. ... Also, changed some times.
ALSO! There is a poll on my profile about who she should go with. It could be a love triangle, if you want. Go and vote!
BY THE WAY - NOBODY gets the cookie ! Nobody guessed correctly, although, some of them came pretty good answers. Another hint: I wasn't really talking about the "vampire side", as you called it.
Starbucksluv - Pretty good! You might get 3/4 of a cookie just because of that answer! :)
Alsynea- No, not really. The old Tori (the one before the accident) right now is something like 'merged' with the Tori that came from another universe, making them the same person right now (both memories, so to speak). Might be a bit confusing! xD
Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Vampire Diaries or its character's. None of the songs, too.
I was sitting in the Sheriff's office getting questioned about Vicki - of course, answering what Lena told me to naswer - and wearing yesterday's clothes, one hand holding my helmet.
"Where did Vicki say she was going?" She started the questions. Okay, let's get this show on the road!
"She didn't."
"Did she tell her brother where she was going?"
"No, she only told Jeremy that she was leaving town."
"Matt said that Stefan Salvatore came to their house. What was he doing there?"
"Lena asked Stefan for help. She thought that by helping Vicki, he was helping our brother."
"Any signs of aggression or violence?" Yeah, lots of it. She was out of control.
"No."
"So, you believe Vicki really has left town?"
"Yes." Sheriff sighed heavily after I said that.
"That's all then. Can you get Elena in here?"
"Of course."
After that, I left her office and went next to Lena, who looked at me nervously.
"Tor-"
"The Sheriff wants you in there." I told her and left the building and saw Stefan standing there. "I doubt that I will be here tommorrow, so I wanted to tell you Happy Birthday."
I went to my bike, put my helmet on, zipped my jacket and drove off to the Boarding House.
After a short time, I arrived at my destination - The Boarding House. I got off of my bike, unzipped my jacket, took my helmet off and put it on the left handle. I went to the front door and went in without bothering to knock.
"Hello?" I yelled and heard some sort of running sound. "Damon? Lexi?" After I said Lexi, someone ran to me and pushed me to the ground and I landed pretty hard with the person landing on top of me and glaring at me.
"Who are you and how do you know me?" Hey, don't need to show these fangs ..
"I am Victoria, or Tori for short. And I was looking for you. Let's just say that I know some things." I told her with a smirk and she got off of me.
"Hmm. I like you, Tori." After helping me stand up, some recognition flashed across her face. "Wait, Tori as in Elena's twin?"
"Yep." I said. "Look, I wanted to ask you for a favor."
"What would it be?" She asked me intrigued.
"Do you know a witch? Any kind of witch."
"Maybe .. Why?" She answered with narrowed eyes.
"I need a favor. I need the witch to do a very important spell on me."
"What kind of spell?"
"I won't tell you, I'll only tell the witch. You can figure out from her later if you want to."
"Fine." After a pause she replied. "Give me your phone, I'll put her number in there." She did as she said and gave my phone back to me. "Also, do you have a car, not a bike?"
"Nope. Only my bike. Why?" I answered truly intrigued.
"Well, for a distance that long, you need a car." She told me and chucked some keys to me. "Here, take it. Just don't forget to drive it back. It's the Mustang."
"Okay." I said and looked at the number. Wait a minute ... "You know Mel?" A look of shock came over Lexi's face.
"YOU know Mel? How do you know Mel?" She started asking me.
"Well, she is something like my best friend, sister and/or girlfriend - take your pick." I told her and her eyebrows rose higher, if that's even possible.
"But .. You live in different towns .."
"Yeah, I lived for some time there and I met her. We've been friends at first, but then turned into more, I guess. Then I had to leave, but we still kept in contact with each other. Why did you give me her number .. ?"
"Oh .. So you're the one that she still keeps talking about."
"Keeps talking about?"
"Yeah, she can't stop about it .. T this, T that .."
"She still calls me T?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah. Also, regarding to your section question, she is a witch." That explains a lot ..
"Thanks!" I started leaving. When the door was open by only a fraction, I turned to her. "A tip for tomorrow: Damon's going to try to kill you." She looked confused and wanted more answers. "Good luck!"
After I left The Boarding House, I quickly went home - it's still weird calling it home - and went to my room to call the witch. After a few rings, she picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, this is Tori."
"Oh, I know, don't worry. Just didn't think that you'd call so soon." Soon?
"Soon?"
"Yeah. You normally call a few times a month .." I could pictured her with a pout that made her look cute!
"Sorry, sorry. Look, I might need a favor."
"Anything for you. What do you need?"
"First, before I tell you, why didn't you tell me you were a witch?" There was a brief pause after that.
"What are you talking about, T? Witches are-" I cut her off there.
"As real as vampires and werewolf's."
"How do you know?" She asked me in a serious but gentle voice.
"Well, Stefan and Damon Salvatore are in town, so is Lexi for Damon's birthday, so .." I trailed off.
"I see." She sighed sadly. "I didn't want to bring you into this world. But, I guess it was inevitable .." I frowned.
"What do you mean inevitable?"
"We'll talk about it when you get here.
"Where is 'here'?"
"The same place. You still remember it, don't you?"
"Yes, I do." I paused for a bit and said quietly. "Be there soon, Mel."
"See you soon, T." She answered just as quietly and I hung up. I started getting ready, took some cash and went downstairs.
"Hey, Jenna, I'll be going to meet a friend out of town for today, maybe be back tomorrow morning." I told my aunt.
"Okay. Don't forget to call and inform me." After she said that, I went to my bike and rode to The Boarding House to take the car. There it stood - 1965 Ford Mustang. I got in it and started driving away, humming to some Rock music that was playing.
After a while, I arrived at her house and went inside. There, I saw Mel standing near a window. I quietly walked to her, putting my finger near my lips with a smile to one of the maids that were passing through to not say anything, and hugged her from behind on the waist.
"Hey, Mel." I told her and smelled her hair. "I missed you." She sighed lovingly and leaned into me.
"Missed you too, T." She whispered. After some time, she turned around in my arms and lifted her right arm to my face. "I really missed you .."
"Hey, Mel, let's do the spell first so I don't forget about it later, okay?" She nodded her head, gently took a hold of my hand and lead me to a chair. "What kind of spell do you want me to do?"
"I want you to ..." I told her and she looked scared.
"What?! No! I won't do that, that will kill you!" She exclaimed and I took her hand in mine.
"Please, Mel. I beg of you." I told her and she looked like she remembered something.
"Oh, that's right. There's some kind of spell on you, so we could put our trust on that .." What .. ?
"What kind of spell?"
"I don't know." She told me with a guilty look on her face.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay .. It doesn't matter anyway, Let's just do this." She nodded at me.
"Do you have a personal belonging of the person?"
"Yes." I told her and pulled out a hair-brush. She took it.
"So, you really want to do this? You do know that there's no going back?" She said, looking at me.
"Yeah, I know. Let's get this over with." I answered and she hesitatingly put her hands on either side of my face and started chanting. '..Now, all I have to worry about is Jeremy. Don't really want him to get in the middle of everything, but .. we'll see ..'
"It's done."
"Good. I guess I don't have to remind you not to tell anyone about this, correct?" She just nodded at me and looked hurt after my words. "Hey, sorry for being professional, it's just .. you know .. when you are around the people that I've been around for some time now, you get easily stressed." She warmly smiled at me and nodded, putting her hands on my shoulders.
"Oh, I know. Your shoulders are very stiff .." She said, leaned into me a bit more and we kissed. It was just a sweet, gentle and welcoming kiss that made me want to just sigh in contentment. After a few seconds, a maid walked into the room, not even looking up from her Pad.
"Miss Melanie, we have to get ready for the meeting with ..." She started talking in a professional voice which I recognized immediately (last time I was here, she got so terrified of me, that she did anything I said and didn't even bother us with anything) and Mel just looked irritated by her.
"Miley, can't you see that I have a guest? You can cancel all of today's appointments." Mel told her with a very annoyed voice.
"You can't do that, Miss. Even if you have a guest. The guest should go home then, because -" When she looked up from her pad, she froze mid-way her sentence and just stared with wide eyes. "Is .. Is that-"
"Yes, it's T. Who else?" Mel answered her unasked question.
"N-Nothing, Miss's. I'm very sorry for bothering you." 'Miley' apologized and practically ran out of the door, while we both chuckled.
"I still don't know what you did to her." I smiled at Mel - god, she always looked so beautiful - and pulled her into my lap.
"Oh, don't worry. Nothing too serious." I told her and started leaning into her. "Now, where did we left off .." We both smiled and started kissing and undressing each other.
The next morning, I woke up next to Mel and saw that we were holding each other close, our clothes from yesterday lying everywhere around the room. Yesterday, we went shopping since I needed some new clothes and just hung out for a while, but eventually got home to spend more time 'together'. After we both woke up, showered (it's amazing what two people can do in the shower), dressed and ate breakfast, I had to go. After putting my new clothes in Lexi's car and telling a tearful Mel that I'll be back and I'll call her, I left, wondering how she was the only one that somehow made me feel something since the Vicki accident.
After some time, I got home. I parked the car next to the bike, which someone brought home, and got all my new stuff from Lexi's car and got them to my room. After I did that, I went out of my room and saw Bonnie walking in the hallway.
"Hey, Bonnie. What's up?" She looked at me with some concern before concealing it.
"Oh, nothing. Just came to find Elena since she doesn't answer any of my phone calls." I nodded and, after a brief pause, she added. "By the way, nice car in the front. Where did you get it?"
"It's not mine. It's Lexi's, Stefan's friend that's visiting. Borrowed it for a bit." She looked confused a bit but I just waved it off. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, let's go. I guess she's still in her room." She nodded and we went there to find Lena under her covers and I sing-songed. "Knock, knock. Anybody home?" A growl came from under the covers.
"You up?" Bonnie asked her. Another growl, or .. ?
"No." And she talks! Well, mumbles, but .. Same thing. Bonnie walked over and tried to pull the covers off of her head. "No, no!"
"Why haven't you called me back?" Bonnie asked.
"Sorry." Lena grumbled.
"Are you gonna stay in there forever?" I asked with an amused voice.
"Pretty much." She sighed.
"Move over." Bonnie ordered. Lena moved over, allowing Bonnie to slide in next to her, while I just sat at the end of the bed. "I'm officially worried. What's going on?"
"I'm tired of thinking .. of talking .. I .." Lena trailed off.
"Can I get a one line version so I can at least pretend to be helpful?"
"Stefan and I broke up." Lena frowned when she said that. God, what's new?
"I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" After realizing what she asked, she started talking again. "Right, stupid question. I know I've been kind of MIA when you need me the most. I suck." She apologized.
"You wanna make it up to me? Get my mind off of it." Lena demanded and Bonnie looked at both of us as though she was considering something.
"Just remember - you asked for it."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked as Bonnie closed the window, grabbed the pillow and ripped it open, emptying out all of the feathers onto the bed.
"Hey!" Lena protested.
"Be patient."
"Ok." Lena said with a dejected voice.
"I need to swear you to secrecy."
"Sure, no problem." I mean, it's just one more thing to add to my list - and it's pretty long, and it's not like it's something that I don't already know.
"It's kind of a bad week for that kind of stuff." Lena stressed.
"Swear, 'cause I'm not supposed to be showing you this." Bonnie demanded.
"Ok, I swear."
"There's no windows open, right?" Bonnie questioned.
"Right."
"There's no fan. No air conditioning."
"None. What are you doing?" Lena wondered.
"Grams just showed me this. You're gonna love it. You ready?" Bonnie asked excitedly.
"Can you please tell us what's going on?" Lena pleaded confused. Bonnie focused on a feather and made it levitate using her hand. Lena had her jaw dropped open and I just looked at it as we stared at the feather. We were then surrounded by all of the feathers. A huge smile made it's way to Lena's face.
"This is incredible." Lena breathed out.
"It's true, you guys. Everything my Grams told me. It's impossible and it's true. I'm a witch." Bonnie giggled.
"I just .. don't understand though. If your Grams asked you to keep all this a secret, why did you tell us?" Lena asked, tilting her head to one side.
"You're my best friends. I can't keep secrets from you." Huh .. Well, I guess I'll tell them both one thing.
"Well, it's nothing I haven't seen before." They both looked at me confused. "What?"
"What do you mean you haven't seen before? This isn't some illusion like other people do!" Lena told me.
"Yeah, well, remember when I was away for about a year?" They still had confused faces, but nodded none-the-less. "Well, Lena," I said turning to her. "do you also remember me talking about Melanie or Mel for shot?"
"Yeah, you said you met a friend called Mel and you stayed with her, but-"
"Yeah, well, she was more than a friend. We are kind of best friends - lovers, you could say, when we meet." They both looked shocked.
"Lovers? But, she's .."
"In another town? I know, we just keep in contact and it's not official. It's something like best friends with benefits, or something like that. Another girl? Yep, know that already, but doesn't really matter, does it?" I told them and they still looked shocked.
"But .. What does that have to do with what I was showing you .. ?" Bonnie asked, trailing off, which made me grin.
"That's the best part. She's also a witch. A pretty powerful one, at that." They looked even more shocked, if that's even possible.
"So, when you were telling Aunt Jenna that you were going to meet an old friend out of town, were you .. ?" Lena asked.
"Yep. I went to see her." I said to them and giggled at their expressions.
After Bonnie left, I called up Amy.
"Hey, Amy. What's up?"
"Well, nothing new. Just hanging out with people. Why couldn't we reach you yesterday?"
"Well, I was out of town for a bit, so .."
"Oh, I get it. Anyway, what did you need?"
"Why do you think that I call you just because I need something?" She laughed a bit amused at that.
"Well, you never really call us to hang out." I frowned .. Really?
"Yeah, well, I just wanted to kind of practice. Got some new ideas." She squeled at that.
"Okay, cool. When?"
"Um .. In half an hour? Ben's house, as always."
"Okay, I'll call everyone to let them know. See ya soon!"
"See ya."
After we were done, I went to my bathroom and decided that I need to add some new make up .. Why didn't I use any of it or little of it before? Ugh .. After thinking for a bit, I decided for some light raccoon smokey eyes.
After I was done with everything, I grabbed my helmet, my jacket, my keys and went to my bike, speeding all the way to Ben's house. When I got there, I saw that everyone was waiting for me.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" I asked and looked at their shocked expressions while shaking my hair out because of the helmet's 'side-effects'. "What's wrong?"
"You .. Since when did you start using make-up?" Amy asked.
"Since today .. Why, something wrong with it?" I asked them and tilted my head to the side.
"No, no! Just .. Why didn't you use it before? It looks so good on you!" Amy squeled and hugged me really tightly.
"Can't- breathe-" I gasped and she let go of me.
"Oh, sorry." Ben then walked closer.
"Well, let's get started then, shall we? You said that you had some ideas."
"Yeah, I have. Let's go." I said and got off my bike, only for my phone to ring. Without looking at the caller, I picked it up. "Yello?"
"Hey, Tori." Care? What does she want?
"Hey, Care ... What is it?"
"Well, look - today, there is a party at The Grill, and I was wondering if you and your band could sing for us." Sing? Well, I don't mind, but ..
"Sure. When? How much time do we have?" She told me when, how much time do we have (how many songs) and hung up - without even saying goodbye! God .. I sighed and turned to the rest of them. "Well, I guess we've got ourselves a live performance!" I told them which earned bright smiles from them.
"Okay, what songs are we singing?" Josh asked.
"For the first few songs, you are going to sing the new songs." I said pointing to Ben and he looked surprised.
"Those ones? But we haven't been able to practice those for long-"
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." I said and added. "Also, I need you to help me with a new song - we're going to sing it in acoustic version, since we don't have much time to make it a full song." He looked perplexed but still asked.
"Okay, do you have the lyrics?"
"Nop. All in my head - I'll write it as we practice it." I said and we went inside. God, what a night is waiting for us today ..
When it was time, we went to The Grill all together. We also stopped for a bit by Amy's house and we made my blonde hair a bit wavy (half-straight, half-wavy). When we walked into The Grill, half the eyes were on us. I saw Damon and turned to my friends.
"Hey, I'll see you there upstage. And don't worry, you won't mess up." I told Ben but he still looked concerned. "Hey, listen, if you can't believe in yourself, then believe in me and everything will be alright, 'k?" I told him and he nodded, relaxing a bit. "Good." I said with a smirk and left to Damon. "Hey there, Damon." He turned to me with a smirk himself.
"Hey there, sexy. Couldn't stay away?" I just scoffed.
"Yeah, right. Keep dreaming." I said as I walked to the bar and he followed me. "Can you get me something strong?"
"Now why would I do that? You are underage, if I remember." He joked.
"Yeah, well, I might need something - performing the last song of my band tonight." He frowned a bit.
"You're performing?"
"Yup."
"Why last song?"
"My band will be singing the first two without me." I told him. "So, how about that drink?" He turned to the bartender and ordered me some bourbon. "Thanks." I told him with a smile and started sipping it.
"Now, then, since I got you your drink-" He started and I immediately cut him off.
"Why do I have to do anything since you bought me a drink?" He glared at me a little for interrupting him but I just smirked a little bit.
"As I was saying, since I got you your drink, how about you get me the necklace?"
"What necklace?" I asked playing along.
"Your friend, Bonnie, has it. It's mine and I want it back." Wow, a little forceful, aren't we?
"Is it really yours?"
"Yes." He answered. Huh, his .. Yeah, right. I just stayed silent. After I finished my glass, I stood up and Damon guided me to where my sister just entered and I just went along with it. "Stefan smiles. Alert the media." He joked as we stood by Lena, who was gazing at Stefan - who was playing pool with Lexi and smiling.
"You haven't given him a lot of reasons to be happy lately."
"Oh, you're right. Poor Stefan, persecuted throughout eternity by his depraved brother; does it get tiring being so righteous?"
"Damon." I told him in a warning tone.
"It flares up in the presence of psychopaths." Lena sneered at Damon.
"Ouch! Well, consider this psychopath's feelings hurt." He placed a hand on his heart.
"What did you do to our brother?"
"I'm gonna need a less vague question."
"When you did what you did to Jeremy's memory of Vicki, what else did you do to him?"
"You asked me to take away his memory of fangs and all the bad stuff." He said and I smiled a little at the face he made when he said fangs. "You wanted me to take away his suffering."
"But he's acting different. He seems okay with everything and a little too okay. I mean, he's studying, he's not doing drugs, he's not drinking - are you sure you didn't do something else?" I decided to butt in, too.
"He took away his suffering Lena." I told her and she nodded at me after a brief pause.
"If you'll excuse me." Damon said and started leaving and I started following him. "What do you want?" He said and turned to me.
"I wanted to ask how the plan is coming along?" I asked him and he turned to a man in the corner that was fidgeting.
"Perfect, for now."
"For now? What do you mean for now?"
"Well, we've got to hope that he doesn't lash out and does something stupid, like, I don't know - exposing himself?" I just shook my head.
"Don't worry about it." I said and started whispering even quieter so not even Lexi could hear us. "How about Phase 2? Did you do it?"
"Yes, I did it. I still don't understand, though, why-"
"Just because. Believe me, you'll thanks me later." I frowned and shook my head. "Or, no you won't - you don't do thanks, as I remember." I told him and walked away.
After a while, it was my bands turn to perform. A man came up to the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentleman, please, give it up for ... The Pretty Reckless?" He said it more like a question, and nobody knew who we were. Pssh, just because we haven't thought of a name and a new band name is called doesn't really mean it's us, right? Idiots .. However, when my band came up, everyone started clapping and Ben came up to the microphone.
"Hey, everyone! So, I wanted to say that we" He said gesturing to all of the band. "are very lucky to know Tori. Without her, this band wouldn't be alive and you wouldn't be able to hear us and her sing." Some guy asked where I was. "She'll be on later. But, for now, we are going to perform a few songs that are written by her. Well, actually, all of the songs that we sing are written by her."
"Don't lie - you, Ben, help a lot with them!" I yelled and everyone laughed.
"Yeah, well, the first song is - Pain (A/N Pain by Three Days Grace (cut out some parts of the lyrics to make it shorter))." He chuckled a bit and the band started playing.
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand
...
Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain
The Grill was on it's feet, and some - that have better memory - were singing along to the words by the end. After that, they played Monster (A/N Monster by Skillet) and everyone, except Ben, left the stage. Everyone was confused, but when I came up, they were screaming louder than before.
"Hey, everyone! So, we've got a new song, but we didn't really have the time - yes, the time - to make it a full song. So, we'll go with only an acoustic version for now. Because of that, I have a question for you - can you be not too loud during it?" I asked and everyone chorused a yes. "Thanks. Now then, here's 'Light Me up'." I said and smiled. Ben started playing and I started singing with Ben singing along with me sometimes.
Does what I'm wearing seem to shock you?
Well that's okay
'Cause what I'm thinking about you
is not okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other me
Do you have a light, can you make me feel alright
There's plenty of light to go around
If you think it's right when you hit me to the ground
Well light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Does what I'm saying seem to haunt you?
Well that's okay
'Cause what I'm saying about you
Is not okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me
Do you have a light, can you make me feel alright
There's plenty of light to go around
If you think it's right when you hit me to the ground
Well light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Does what I'm taking seem to bother you?
Well that's okay
'Cause I can take it all without you
And I'm okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me
Do you have a light, can you make me feel alright
There's plenty of light to go around
If you think it's right when you hit me to the ground
Well light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
"Thank you!" I told everyone and left the stage, while everyone booed. I smirked and went to the bar next to Damon and he had a full glass of bourbon poured waiting for me. "Thanks." I told him and started sipping it.
"No problem. You were amazing back there, by the way." He told me and I looked at him amused a bit. Lexi then walked over to us with shots in her hands. She turned to me and smiled.
"Hey. Have you taken care of what you needed?"
"Yep."
"And is my car still safe?"
"Yep."
"Good, it's yours." I turned to her with my eyes wide.
"Wait- But- Wha- Ho- Why?" She just giggled at me.
"Don't worry about it and have it. I have others and another one that's the same."
"Well, thanks then." I said with a smile.
"Wait, what is she talking about? What car?" Damon asked, intrigued and I turned to him.
"A '65 Ford Mustang." He just whistled and Lexi turned to him with a serious face.
"All right, the shots are a bribe. I need you to answer a question. What are you really doing in Mystic Falls?"
"Have you tried The Brittle? It wins award." Damon just smirked, ignoring her question.
"Cut the crap."
"Ok, I have a diabolical master plan." Yeah, diabolical - you'll just get into more trouble and that's it.
"What is it?" Lexi asked with narrowed eyes.
"If I told you it wouldn't be very diabolical, now would it?" Damon smiled innocently at her. Suddenly, he turned - and we turned as well - and saw the Sheriff injecting a needle into a mans neck that was sitting near us. Damon walked near her and I followed.
"What are you doing?!" He whispered to the Sheriff, who was holding the man in her arms.
"Thank you for the vervain; now, if you'll excuse me." She replied shortly and ordering her deputies to drag the man out. Well, time for Phase 3. Damon told me to follow him and we went through the exit that wasn't being watched. I took a stake out of my jacket and gave it to him, while I took out a gun filled with wooden bullets. He raised and eyebrow at me.
"What?"
"Where did you get that?"
"Doesn't really matter, does it now?" I asked him with a smirk that soon vanished. "Let's get this over with."
We walked in front of The Grill and saw the man trashing around, about to attack The Sheriff. I quickly shot some wooden bullets into him that made him stop and turn to us, just in time for Damon to stake him through the heart.
"You ok?" Damon asked and walked next to her and I followed.
"Thank you." She told him and looked at the dead body again. "Get him in the car, quickly." She told Damon and then turned to me. "And what are you doing here? Aren't you-"
"Don't start talking like that, Sheriff. My dad told me all about this kind of stuff a few years ago and I've already killed a few of them when I was out of town." I told her and helped Damon put the man in the car - even though he didn't need any help, just for appearances. I looked to Damon. "You'll take care of it?" I asked and he nodded. I walked away, thinking of how everything went according to plan - I smirked.
Before going to Ben's house, I saw Damon walking and stopped next to him.
"Hey, Damon." I said and he turned to me.
"Hey, Tori. What are you doing here?" He asked with a smirk.
"I could ask you the same question, but we both won't answer, will we?" I told him with my own smirk and then turned serious. "Look, I know what you're planning." He, too, turned serious.
"What do you mean?"
"I know what you're planning to do to Lexi."
"And how do you know that?" He said and started circling me while I was still on my bike, just without my helmet.
"I just know. Look, you don't want to do that. I have a better proposition for you."
"Really? And what is that?"
"Turn a guy and then tell him or drag him - I don't frankly care - to The Grill tonight so the Sheriff would vervain him and kill him. Don't put Lexi into this."
"And why not?"
"Because, believe it or not, you will regret it later. Even if you don't know it or don't want to acknowledge it, you will regret killing you little brother's best friend ever." He looked like he was weighing his pros and cons.
"And what do I get out of it?"
"You get to be on the council - as do I," He looked confused. "I will help you kill him so I get more trust in the council, too. You also don't get your brothers ultimate hatred for eternity for killing his best friend. Aaand, you get my cooperation in getting the tomb open." I said with a smirk and he just narrowed his eyes.
"How do you know about that?"
"I just do." I said. "So, you in?" He considered it for a moment and smirked.
"I'm in."
Yep, everything went according to plan ...
I know, not really original with the band name, but .. meh -.-
Anyway, what do you think? Was it even worth the wait? What do you think of me keeping Lexi alive? Were you expecting what happened at the end? Also, what do you think of the other OC (Mel) that I put in her? By the way, another hint (this is from the previous chapter continuing) and before I give the hint, I want to point out that it's for those who are paying attention since the first chapter: she had it/she went through it before.
Don't forget to review, favorite and follow! Tee-hee! =D
