Chapter Nineteen

Virtue could be seen stirring in her sleep. A frown marked her face as she tossed and turned and as she shot up out of bed, it became clear that she had had a nightmare. She looked around the room slowly as though she was looking for something, coming up blank she stood up and left the room. Once she got outside she felt slightly better and when she saw Jake her mood perked up considerably.

"Good morning" He sighed in a voice that sounded almost melodic. Virtue attempted a small smile but the dream had freaked her out. She didn't want to see Aurora's face anymore. Aurora was dead and it was over with. Why could she not let this go?

"Where do you keep the blood?" She asked Jake. She didn't want to seem like she was being too forward but she felt as though that might make her feel better.

"In the fridge downstairs" Jake informed. Virtue nodded her thanks and walked past him so she could get to what felt like a drug to her. When she got downstairs she headed straight for the kitchen and when she saw the fridge she hurried over to it and pulled the door open. What she saw made her mouth water. She grabbed one of the bottles and almost tore the top off it and drank it in an almost animalistic way. When she was done she dropped the empty bottle into the bin and sighed. She immediately felt like a weight has been taken of her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Andy and Carolyn were just beginning to wake up. They had had a difficult night because Carolyn was still distraught about Aurora's death. She couldn't believe that someone so nice could be killed by someone so horrible. Why did it have to happen to her? Carolyn and Andy were ready to go downstairs and face another day where they would have to act as though they were strong. Carolyn needed Aurora. If it wasn't for her then Carolyn would be dead. Aurora had been the one who had saved Carolyn when she turned into a vampire.

"I wish I was immune to emotion" She sighed. Andy knew exactly how she felt since he had wanted to be like that for so long now. Being a vampire took its toll on him every day. He wished that he could still be playing video games with Carolyn as though nothing mattered. Where did those days go? The answer to that, out the window with his humanity.

"We need to focus on the future" Andy soothed. He wanted to be able to take the pain away from her but he didn't know how. Carolyn looked up at him as though she was physically lost.

"I'm beginning to not want a future" She mumbled. Andy's hands cupped her face as he forced her to face him. She looked shocked by his sudden outburst but she didn't seem hurt on an emotional or physical level so Andy carried on.

"Aurora died so we could all have a future. She knew that the originals wouldn't stop until they'd killed us and that's why she fought till the end" Andy explained. He hadn't noticed that his own tears were streaked down his face and that had been the first time he had really cried about the death of Aurora. "And I wish it had been me"

"Don't say that" Carolyn whispered as she let her hand caress Andy gently. She knew that she would be like a walking time bomb if Andy died. She'd be ok on the surface but one day she would snap and become deadly. "Aurora wouldn't have wanted it"

"I'll stop being depressing if you stop" He muttered. Carolyn looked back up at him and slowly brought him down to her as she let her lips meet his. She yearned for everything to be normal but how do you fix something like that? Carolyn had only known Aurora for a few days but those days had been the best in her life. Carolyn found herself missing her mother and father who had been cruelly taken from her and now Aurora was snatched away.

"I feel like I need revenge" Carolyn growled. She almost never got angry but now she seemed unstoppable. She got upset and done stupid things but she would never be too violent but now, venom dripped from each word and acid spat from her. She was dangerous at the moment and deadly. She stood up abruptly and glowered around the room as though she was looking for something to take her rage out on. She hated everything about life at the minute and she wanted to tear something apart. Andy noticed her change in moods and stood up and rested his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to keep her calm.

"This isn't you" Andy soothed. Carolyn looked back up into his eyes as though she was trying to find something to ground herself but, finding nothing; she proceeded to pace the room. Andy attempted to follow her movements but every time he caught up to her she changed direction abruptly.

"I don't know what's me anymore" Carolyn mumbled to herself. She felt as though she was going crazy but did crazy people really question their sanity? She didn't think so. She continued to pace and only stopped so she could kick her dresser which caused the mirror to fall off and smash into a million pieces on the floor.

"Stop doing this" Andy whispered. Why would he try and stop her when she was already on a path of destruction? He attempted to grab her wrist and pull her closer to him but she tore away from him and went to the other side of the room.

"Andy, I'm scared" Carolyn gasped. Andy hurried over to her and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. She hugged him back but she still had the deadly elements inside her. Andy bent down slightly so he was level with her and their lips met. Just like that, all the anger slipped away from Carolyn and she felt happy again. She felt warm and tingly all over instead off the coldness that has just gripped her heart. When Andy pulled away she felt a little angry but not as much as she just had. She had to learn to control herself around people. Aurora wouldn't want her to turn into a monster.

"We'll deal with this together" Andy sighed as he pressed his lips to her forehead. She sighed and nodded as she found herself calming down slightly from her outburst. She had felt as though she needed to tear something apart before she could relax. She didn't want to be violent but things were getting too much for her to bear.

"I am sick of death following me everywhere" Carolyn admitted. Why did she have to put up with all the bullshit that life throws at her? She hasn't done anything wrong but all she seems to get is bad news. Why did Aurora die for her? Carolyn was wishing that she could have been the one to die instead of Aurora.

"I know you are but we have to move on" Andy advised. Carolyn wanted to but she felt as though she wouldn't be able to move on if she blamed herself for Aurora's death.

"It's my fault she's dead" Carolyn whispered. Andy pulled away quickly and looked at Carolyn as though she was going crazy. Why was she saying these things?

"How do you figure that one out?" Andy asked as though it was utter nonsense of her to believe that it was her fault that Aurora died but he didn't know the things that Carolyn knew and when he did he would realise that it was Carolyn's fault.

"She died protecting me" Carolyn cried. Andy wrapped his arms around Carolyn again as he offered her support. He didn't want anyone blaming themselves but he was doing a shit job at keeping people from doing that.

"Aurora would have been glad that she saved your life" Andy sighed. The anger flashed straight back through Carolyn and she felt as though she needed revenge again and she would get it. She paced the room again and Andy realised exactly why she was doing it straight away.

"I need to avenge her" Carolyn mumbled to herself as though she was going crazy but this time she didn't even question her sanity. She knew she was spiralling downwards and she had no intention of getting back up.

"You don't need to do anything for her except be there for Virtue" Andy informed but Carolyn was too far gone now. She looked as though she was blind to the world and all she could see was rage and betrayal.

"I've got to leave now" Carolyn said before she left the room. Andy followed her, trying to get her to stop. When she reached the door Virtue came into the room and as soon as she saw Carolyn she realised what was happening. She hurried over to her and grabbed her hands to stop her from opening the door to leave for her deadly quest.

"We need to talk" Virtue said. As soon as Carolyn heard Virtue's voice she stopped trying to leave and obediently followed her to the living room with Andy in tow.

"How did you do that?" Andy asked. Virtue looked at him as though the answer was obvious but still answered it.

"There's a sisterly connection to me and Aurora and Carolyn can sense that. She believes that Aurora and I are very similar" Virtue explained. It made sense since they were sisters. They all sat down on the sofa as Carolyn fidgeted with the hem of her blouse. Virtue took one of Carolyn's hands and sighed gently.

"Aurora's gone and we have to do something about it" Carolyn said. She was still angry but she knew how to keep it under control now.

"We can't do anything about it. Aurora wouldn't want us to do anything either" Virtue said. Carolyn looked as though she didn't believe her but she wasn't about to argue with her. Carolyn stayed seated but her temper was rising considerably.

"Aurora needs us to kill every original" Carolyn growled. Virtue shook her head adamantly and closed her eyes. She could attempt to channel some happy thoughts through to Carolyn but that would only buy her time before Carolyn lost control again. She was angry and vampires don't suit anger at all.

"Aurora's dead and she hated anything about fighting. She only killed that night because she had to. She would hate it if you done it by choice" Virtue soothed. Carolyn's anger was completely washed away.

"I'm sorry" Carolyn cried as she flung her arms around Virtue. She hadn't meant any of that. It was like some entity took over her. She turned to face Andy and let her lips press against his. He welcomed her warmly as his hands roamed her hair. Andy stood up and took Carolyn's hand.

"You need some rest" Andy sighed. Carolyn didn't want to go to sleep because she felt as though she needed to explain herself to Virtue but somehow Virtue already knew what she was going to say.

"Goodnight, Carolyn" She said so Carolyn didn't have a choice. Carolyn smiled weakly and went over to Andy again and back up the stairs. Once they reached her bedroom Andy forced her to lie down and he followed her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and she seemed to calm down a lot.

"I don't know what came over me" Carolyn started but Andy hushed her. He didn't want to hear her apologies since there was nothing to apologise for.

"Just go to sleep" Andy soothed and that was exactly what Carolyn done. She fell into the darkness and left her anger behind.
