Snow glanced over her shoulder for the billionth time. Nothing was there. "I'm being stupid," she mumbled under her breath. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain ripple from her chest. Crying out, she fell, twitching. She looked up, squinting to see her attacker.
"Meredith."
Meredith smirked. She leaned down and whispered in Snow's ear, "Vlad's mine. I'll teach you a lesson about messing with my guy!"
Meredith kicked Snow in the chest, making Snow gasp. Tears fell from her eyes. Why wasn't she dead yet? Even death seemed like a release from this pain.
Meredith kicked her again and again. Gripping her stake, she stabbed it into Snow's abdomen.
She watched in fascination as Snow's eyes dulled.
Vlad ran to the spot where Snow died the instant he smelled the blood.
The ambulance was already there. They were loading her body into the ambulance. A doctor was telling her foster parents what had happened. Vlad rushed over.
"What happened?" He asked frantically.
"Someone shoved a piece of wood into her twice, once in the lung, another into the abdomen," the doctor said miserably. "She died from the blood loss, but she suffered first. The person must have been very strong to pull that off. Do you know anyone who is strong enough to do that?" He asked Vlad, October (who was comforting Snow's foster parents), and Snow's foster parents.
"Well," Snow's foster mother said slowly, "She always said that her boyfriend was very strong." She glared at Vlad, like it was somehow his fault.
It was, in a way.
"Honey," her husband said softly, "Just because she was dating a strong guy doesn't mean he killed her."
October glanced worriedly at Vlad. "What happened?" She mouthed to him. Vlad shrugged. Over one of the nurses shoulder, he managed to catch a look at Snow's body.
Vlad ran home, keeping his face down.
When he arrived at his house, he vomited his dinner.
After Snow's death, he spent more and more time with Meredith, discovering that she was the only one who could calm him.
Something told him not to trust her, to get away, to run before it was too late, but he always pushed away that feeling.
After all, Meredith was completely trustworthy, right?
Right?
One day, Vlad was staring at Meredith when he had a strange urge to enter her mind.
They were walking home together when he entered her head.
What he found surprised and disgusted him.
He watched in horror as he looked through her memories.
Memories of her stalking him, of her hateful thoughts of Snow, and of the worst memory of all.
The memory of the stake entering Snow's chest.
Worried, Meredith reached out, trying to touch Vlad's hand. Vlad flinched from Meredith's touch.
"You!" He hasped. "Y-you killed..." Meredith smiled. "I killed Snow, you mean?"
Vlad nodded, horrified.
"It had to be done. That bitch was hogging you. She took what was rightfully mine." Meredith's eyes hardened. "She deserved to die."
"You're a monster!" Vlad said, tears in his eyes.
Meredith smiled cruelly.
Snow.
His Snow.
His beautiful, kind, energetic, kick-butt Snow.
His girlfriend.
Dead.
Meredith.
His ex.
His first love.
His friend.
His haven.
His girlfriend's murderer.
A monster.
"You have two choices, Vlad." Meredith whispered. "Die, or accept me as your new lover."
Vlad shook his head. "No," he croaked. "You...killed Snow. You're evil. Stay away from me!"
Meredith's face -her beautiful, horrible face, Vlad thought- darkened. She reached into her backpack and pulled out a stake.
"Then die," she whispered.
Vlad barely had time to breathe when she stabbed him in the heart with the stake.
This time, he knew, his powers could not save him.
He would die, and be reunited with everyone he loved.
Vlad closed his eyes and breathed his last.
Mwahahaha, I'm evil!
Vlad: *sniff* you killed me!
It had to be done, Vlad. It had to be done.
Snow: hey, I died too!
Yeah, sorry about that. *hugs Vlad and Snow*
Meredith: hey, what about me?
STAY AWAY, PSYCHO!
Meredith: meanie!
