Super excited for this episode! There are some plot twist and some (SAYY WHAAA) moments. Enjoy! Love Savy!
This was a bad idea. We all knew it but that didn't stop us.
The full moon and the small fire near the wreckage was the only light in the eerie back road to Cort's ranch. Chelsy gasped and opened her eyes. She shakily sat up and took in the world around her. Chelsy's new jeep was flipped in the ditch and glass shards were scattered. It was quiet too quiet Chelsy stood up and heard someone move in the jeep. Her friends were still alive they had to be.
Abriana was pulling herself from the passenger seat trying to avoid more scratches. What happen? How did this happen? Chelsy made eye contact with Abriana and ran to her. She helped pull Abriana all the way out and then steadied her.
"Meredith is still in there. Chelsy she wasn't moving. Chelsy we hit an animal or something. We-" Abriana started to breath heavily.
"It's okay I know. It wasn't your fault Ab's. I'll- I'll call Sheriff Forbes. Where was Johanna?"
"She… she wasn't in the car. Her body wasn't there." Chelsy grabbed Abriana's shoulders.
"I need you to find her. We need to find Jo, Okay?" Ab's just nodded and took her phone out and put the flashlight on.
Chelsy then called the Police, "Hello? Yes there has been an accident on Westgreen. There were four girls in a jeep. Meredeth Fell, Abriana Johnson, Me Chelsy Lockwood and-"
Chelsy was interrupted by Abriana's terrified scream. Chelsy turned to look at what Ab's saw. Johanna's body was in the opposite ditch bent in a sickeningly impossible way. Her blonde hair covered her face.
"Hello? Hello? Ms. Lockwood? Who was the last person in the car?"
"And Johanna Gilbert." Chelsy said with a cracking shaky voice.
10 hours ago: Chelsy's house
The girls squealed at Chelsy's new red Jeep. "You are so lucky! How did you get it?" Abriana asked sitting in the passenger seat.
"My Uncle Mason hooked me up."
"Another perk of being a Lockwood." Johanna rolled her eyes jumping into the back of this jeep. "Where are we going in this bad boy?"
"Hmm… I was thinking anywhere and everywhere but I dunno that's just me." Chelsy said turning on the engine and pulling the car out of her driveway.
"To the Lockwood mansion?" Abriana asked.
"TO THE LOCKWOOD MANSION" Chelsy and Johanna yelled in unison.
The Salvatore Boarding House
"You bit me." Caroline stated quietly.
Damon coughed, "You liked it. Remember?
Caroline walked closer to the cellar, "Why do I keep remembering the same things, but in different ways?"
Damon started to stand up weakly, "You remember what I want you to remember. And now that the vervain has passed out of your system, you won't remember what you're about to do."
Caroline was now right by the door peering in, "What am I about to do?" She whispered
Damon appeared at the door, "You're gonna open the door. You're gonna open the door." He repeated compelling her.
The door then busted open, "No! No! Get out of here. Run! Run!" Zach tried to close the door while Caroline ran. Damon then snapped Zach's neck. He then ran after Caroline but when she opened the front door sun burned him.
News Station
Logan unlocked a door and held it open for Elena, "We digitized all our archives last year. You can pull all the remote footage right up on screen. What is it exactly you're looking for?"
They walked into a room with a few advanced looking computers, "An incident from 1953. If it even happened- At the old Salvatore boarding house." She tried to stay as vague as possible. Suddenly Logan's cell phone started ringing. He slightly jumped at the noise.
He grabbed it and looked at the caller I.D, "Sorry, one second." He stepped back a little, "Yeah? Fire? All right, be right there." He put his phone back in his jacket pocket and sighed, "I gotta go. You believe there's actual news to cover in this town?" He walked Elena over to the computers and pulled the seat out for her, "All right, use keywords to search the database. It's pretty easy to navigate. And Brady down in tech will help you out with anything you need." He smiled and she returned him with a similar one.
"Ok."
Logan clapped his hands together, "All right?" He started to walk out and then turned around remembering something, "Oh, hey. Could you put in a good word for me with Jenna?"
Elena giggled a little, "You got it."
"All right. Good luck." He then left Elena to herself.
Sexy Suds Car Wash
Stefan walked back to where Elena and him were stationed but couldn't find her. He saw Matt and walked over to him, "Hey, have you seen Elena?"
Matt thought about it for a moment, "No, not for a while."
"You think she went home?" Stefan asked curiously.
"Not sure." Matt responded quickly.
Stefan then politely replied, "Thanks," and started to walk away.
Matt sighed and stopped Stefan, "Hey. I'm not saying this for you. I'm saying it for her. But she's big on trust. So whatever you're holding back from her, the more you try to hide it, the more she won't stop till she figures it out."
News Station
Elena found a video and began to watch it, "This is Franklin Fell reporting to you from the Salvatore Boarding House, where a brutal animal attack has ended in tragedy. Ok, they're bringing out the bodies. See if you can get closer. Is that the nephew?" As the video zoomed in, Stefan appears in the background. Elena stares disbelievingly and paused it on Stefan's face from 1953.
Forbes House
Caroline is lying down on her bed in the dark. She felt confused, scared and lost. Her mom knocked on the cracked door and opened it more to see her daughter, "I didn't see you at the car wash." She stated
"Left early." Caroline mumbled at a barely audible tone.
Mrs. Forbes waited for something more. She was nervous Caroline could be rude but never depressed. "Honey, are you ok? Anything you want to talk about? Is it a boy thing?" she tried to reach out to her daughter.
Caroline merely just turned her head towards her mom, "Mom, if I want to talk boys, I'll call dad. At least he's successfully dating one." Then continued to look at ceiling.
Salvatore Boarding House
Stefan walked into the house and automatically felt the eerie vibe and vamp sped to the basement only to find Zach dead and Damon gone. Zach!
Elena: Dear diary, I'm not a believer. People are born, they grow old, and then they die. That's the world we live in. There's no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There's nothing that defies rational thought.
Lockwood Mansion
The music was blaring loudly and the crowds were getting to Johanna once again anxiety was winning. She found her way outside by a lake. It was dark outside and the cool wind was blowing her blonde hair around lightly. She kept trying to catch her breath and her teeth felt like they were about to fall out they hurt so bad. She looked up at the moon and her eyes started to morph into a yellow. Johanna's panic attack was gone but she couldn't stop staring at the moon now.
Dave stumbled out of the dance drunk as ever, "Hey Johanna you good?" Dave slurred.
The next minute was a blur Johanna growled and her eyes brightened into a deeper yellow and, then her canine teeth grew. She turned around and somehow sped quickly towards Dave. Before she realized what she was doing she bit down onto Dave's neck.
"Johanna stop!" She barely heard before her head was filled with a burning pain. She fell to the ground along with an unconscious Dave. The pain stopped and she was awake again.
She looked up to see Grant looking over her. "Oh my god… Grant what did I- Dave. Dave oh my god I could have killed him! Why did I-"
Grant stood Johanna up while she was mumbling, "Hey Johanna… Johanna I need you to tell me exactly what happen."
"I couldn't catch my breath in the party so I went out here to breathe. Then I looked up to the moon and I was calm so I kept looking at it. Until I heard Dave's voice and then I was angry for no reason and everything went black until I felt pain in my head."
Johanna quickly said still panicking. She looked down at Dave, "Oh my god! I bit him. He is going to die, I can't believe I did that. Why would I do that, Grant? I am a monster." Johanna knelt down towards Dave.
Grant followed her down and inspected the wound. He then whispered something under his breath and put his hand up towards Dave's neck. He then moved his hand, "Jo you aren't a monster. It was an accident and now it's like it never happened. See?"
Johanna gasped quietly, "How did you do that?"
"Magic. Now he will wake up in the morning thinking he passed out on the lawn drunk like he has every other year at one of these things." Grant laughed standing up.
Johanna followed Grant, "Why did I do that?"
"I think it may have been triggered by the moon. I don't know that much about gypsies though so I couldn't tell you exactly why tonight it was triggered."
"Why would the moon trigger me wanting to bit someone?"
"The moon triggers werewolves and when witches do big spell's they need the power of the moon to give them more power. So it could just be another gypsy thing."
"Gypsies, Witches, Werewolves what next Vampires?" Johanna asked jokingly but then Grant looked down at the ground suspiciously.
"Oh my god. Vampires. They're real too?" Grant nodded quickly.
"Vampires are real too." Johanna starts putting things together.
"Yes, yes why is it so hard to believe?" Grant enquires.
"It isn't hard to believe. We have had them right under our noses this whole time. All these animal attacks. Caroline. Vikki…" Johanna gasped, "Damon's a vampire." She whispers realizing a fact that scared her the most.
"What?" Grant asks unable to hear her.
"Damon and Stefan Salvatore have to be vampires." Grant looks at her in a way that meant 'prove it'.
"Grant ever since they got here there has been so called, animal attacks. Caroline had bit marks all over her body… Stefan could be biting Elena. Stefan could be-" Johanna starts to hyperventilate.
"Hey Jo look at me. Elena is a smart girl she wouldn't let anyone abuse her like that and if they are vampires we will stop them but we can't do that all in one night. Especially, when you are losing control so quickly. Okay we will find a way to stop them just please don't try to go after vampire tonight."
"Okay but first thing tomorrow we are looking for a way to stop them." Grant just nods
"Fine, let's find Chelsy and get you home."
Lockwood party (on the dance floor)
Chelsy Abriana and a couple more cheerleaders were dancing in a circle within the huge student body. Abriana then was picked out by some of the horny boys and they gently pushed her into a guy to grind with. Ab's tried to walk away but these douche bags couldn't let off.
Chelsy noticed and walked up to the guys, "Hey get your grubby little hands off my girl. Can you not see that she doesn't want to be touched?"
"Ahh the little ones jealous?" One of them said. They all laughed.
Chelsy laughed, "You wish." She then tried to reach for Abriana.
"Woah who said we were done with her. Move along little girl."
Chelsy scoffed at that and then something in her just cracked. She saw a window to pounce and she did. She hit the ring leader in the jaw and elbowed one where the sun don't shine. "Who's next?"
"Come on Chelsy lets just take a breather." Abriana tried to reason with Chelsy now that she was free but then one of the guys tried to grab Meredith. Chelsy then tried to launch herself at the guy but before she could reach him Tyler, her cousin, came up behind her and stopped her.
"Hey! Break it up! Josh, Mike leave now. I mean it and take any other douche bag who would try this shit with anyone because it's not happening at my party." Tyler then walks away with Chelsy in tow.
Tyler then takes Chelsy into his dad's office. "What the crap? Chelsy when stuff like that goes down you come to me. You don't go crazy bitch and fight the guys yourself." He sighs, "You need to work on your temper."
"My temper. My temper… Ty you have the worst anger problems than Uncle Mason during his drinking phase! They were messing with my friends. I would never just sit by like nothing is happening!"
"This is my house Chelsy! If I see you fighting with someone else I will kick you out myself." He walks out and leaves Chelsy. She just screams to herself and then sits down on the plush couch. Chelsy then reaches her hand in to one of the pillows and pulls out a flask and takes a swig of the whiskey.
She laughs to herself, "Oh Uncle Richard you are too predictable." She takes one more gulp and then puts it back in the pillow leaving the room.
Present time
"Okay Okay. Please get here fast!" Chelsy hangs up the phone and runs to Abriana, "Oh my god! Oh my god Johanna! You are not dead! You are not dead!" She tries to pick Johanna up gently feeling Johanna's icy cold skin.
"Abriana help me please we need to lay her on the concrete."
"Chelsy…" Abriana sighed trying to comfort her panicking friend.
"Please! She is not dead! I know she isn't." They lifted her up and gently placed her on the concrete her body not bent anymore. Her eyes were closed and Chelsy was pushing her disheveled hair out of her face. Johanna's peaceful look was destroyed when Chelsy saw the one small line of blood coming from Johanna's nose. Chelsy let Johanna be realizing she needed to save Meredith.
"We need to get Mere. Abriana help me please." They then proceeded to get Meredith out from the car and put her next to Johanna. Abriana then sat next to the two unconscious girls and tried to find a pulse on the two girls then sighed.
"Chelsy, they don't have a pulse."
Gilbert House
Elena's POV
People are supposed to be who they say they are. And not lie or hide their true selves.
It's not possible. I'm not a believer, I can't be. But how can I deny what's right in front of me? Someone who never grows old...
Elena is with Tiki's granddad and he confirms her question, "Yes, 1953."
Never gets hurt.
"Oh, my god, your hand! Is it deep? How bad is it?" Stefan shows her his hand and there was no scratch.
Someone who changes in ways that can't be explained...
Stefan's eyes start to become dark. Elena notices, "Hey, um, are you ok? Your eye. Your face."
Girls bitten...
Elena and Johanna see's Caroline's bites, "What is that? Oh, my god, what happened to you?"
Caroline fixed her scarf "It's nothing!"
Bodies drained of blood…
Elena was walking with Matt after school "Did she say what kind of animal it was?"
Matt stopped walking, "She said it was a vampire."
Lockwood Mansion.
Johanna's POV
"Yes Cort we will be there in 30 minutes. I love you babe." Chelsy hung up her phone and fixed the rear view mirror. I was sitting in the back with Meredith quiet lost in thought staring out the open sides of the Jeep.
Ever since I came home there has been no peace in my life. I just wanted one moment where life was normal again. Life wasn't surrounded by lies or fear or a supernatural occurrence. How could I sit by and let Caroline and Elena be blood bags for vampires. How could my real parents give me up so I could be safe when I can't even control whatever I am.
I just want one moment to be free. Was that too hard to have.
"Hello! Johanna back in the car." Chelsy shouted at me as she pulled onto a dirt road.
"Oh sorry! You were saying something about…"
"About the…"
"CHELSY LOOK OUT!" Meredith yelled and in a moment we were spinning out of control. At some point I wished I had worn my seatbelt.
Then a sudden ringing flooded my brain. I hit my head once more and I was no longer there. I was suspended in darkness. This is what death felt like? It seemed too easy. I wonder if this is what my parents felt… both of them.
A voice carried me farther into the darkness but it was the brightest light there.
Find others like you. You're not alone. Find others like you.
I wanted to yell at the voice but I couldn't remember how to speak. The more the voice talked the brighter the darkness got.
Until I opened my eyes. I saw a morbid sight of my friends leaning over my body. "Chelsy they don't have a pulse." Abriana crocked while she was crying over us. Her tears mixed with blood that adorned her cheek.
Chelsy looked at me, "No… you are not dead. Johanna you are not dead. You were going to go to California be better than this one stop town! You hear me you can't… you can't" She cried harder, I walked closer.
"Crazy isn't it?" I turned around to see a brunette girl not much older than me with stunning blue eyes. She smiled kindly, "Seeing people morn over you. It is humbling to think people my care about you that much."
"Where am I? How is this possible?"
"You are on the other side. Granted you are just here passing through but most the time when someone gets on the other side they don't come back. It's is a supernatural purgatory you live in solitude till it is your time for peace."
"Who are you?"
"It is not important. What is important is the message I have for you. Johanna you need to get out of Mystic Falls. I know you believe yourself to be the hero but you need to put yourself first and get out. There are more like you. Find them. Learn about your power, gain it, and control it. You will be ones who fix our mistakes and save our people."
"What do you mean? I don't understand." I started to feel a pull to my body. I looked around and saw the ambulance speeding down the dirt road.
"You will understand in time." She walked up and put her hand on my cheek. "I am so proud of you."
"Are you my-" I was then thrown back into consciousness opening my eyes.
I took a deep gasp of cool air into my dry lungs. I heard Chelsy and Abriana gasp and call my name but all I could focus on was the message from the blue eyed girl. Leave there are more of you.
