Chapter 6

"5, 6, 7, 8, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8," Caroline yelled and Audrey was doing her best with the routine. Caroline puckered her brows to her.

"Audrey keep it up," Caroline looked like she pitied her.

"Why don't you stay and watch today, Audrey," Caroline used a lot of neck when she said that.

"I quit. Don't expect me to come back anytime soon," she spat and walked over to her bag. She picked it up and left the squat. She had black leggings on with a light pink t-shirt. Her hair was up on a ponytail and her brown wavy hair swung from side to side. She didn't bother to go back to school to pick up Jeremy.

Before she noticed she was smoking at the car. She was leaning on it and looking around with the smoke filling her lungs.

"You are smoking," Jeremy walked to her and it made Audrey cough and throw the smoke away.

"Jeremy, I was just-" he raised an eyebrow to Audrey.

"Smoking," she continued and scratched her forehead with a chuckle.

"You don't have to act that you are something you're not. Audrey come on," he said.

"Fine, but Jeremy," she began and Jeremy returned his look back in Audrey's eyes, "if I ever see you smoking I will tell Jenna and Elena."

Jeremy scowled her playfully and walked to the other side of the car. Audrey chuckled as she opened the drivers door.

"I could tell Jenna and Elena about your smoking..." Jeremy looked at Audrey under his brows. He had a cocky smile on his face.

"Shut up," Audrey smiled.

"His name is Jace Crowley, he just moved here," Caroline smiled to Audrey with a tiny wink. Audrey chuckled and pushed her friend gently. Jace was talking to Tyler on the bar in Mystic Grill. Caroline had demanded to go there, not because of Jace, because of Matt who was with Tyler and Jace. He had a dark and short hair with grey eyes. He had a black jacket on and it seemed like he was having fun.

"You are smiling," Caroline sighed and smiled as well. Audrey turned her look to Caroline with a tiny frown.

"I was so sure you were mad at me."

"Oh I just snapped in the morning. I just can't deal with cheer leading right now," Audrey looked down at the floor.

"You're coming to the Halloween party?" Caroline drummed the table and raised her brows.

"I think so. Going to use the crappy costume I had last year," she chuckled. Last year she went as a vampire, it seemed so funny to her at that moment.

"See you there, then?"

"Yes."

Mystic Falls High school had been decorated with Halloween decorations and it was trying to look scary. Audrey just looked all around and straightened her skirt. She had a dark corset and a skirt that was just above her knees. With dark makeup making her appearance look cat like and her straight hair she looked like Elena.

Tyler was taking in the people. Audrey avoided his look.

"Cider for the ladies. It's a Lockwood special," he said and it made Audrey really uncomfortable.

"No way," Bonnie refused. "Last year I was hung over until Thanksgiving."

"Lightweight," Caroline said like she was a heavy drinker, "I am going to drink until someone is hot enough to make out with."

"So, Audrey, what are you going to do?" Tyler questioned and it made Audrey look at him.

"Probably going to get drunk, and make bad decisions. I know that way too well," Audrey smiled to Tyler holding a cider out to her. Tyler looked offended. Audrey grabbed the cider and drank it. She dropped the bottle to the ground and walked past him. She was so over him.

She walked inside the school and got startled by some dude with a scream mask. He took the mask off and a bright smile appeared in his face.

"Jace Crowley," he offered his hand. Audrey smiled and laughed nervously.

"Audrey Gilbert," she smiled and shook his hand. Jace had dimples on his cheeks when he smiled.

"Elena and you look very much alike," he said and smiled.

"Sisters, twins, that's what we are," Audrey smirked. Jace smirked to Audrey and looked at her from head to toe. Bonnie grabbed Audrey by the arm.

"Come on," she told her and made Audrey snicker. She left Jace and followed Bonnie to where ever she was taking her. Bonnie and Audrey ran through the halls and when Bonnie stopped Audrey frowned and turned to glance her friend.

Elena grabbed Audrey and pulled her to the side.

"Jeremy is gone with Vicki," Elena said with a panicking tone.

"And?" Audrey raised her brow.

"Vicki is turning."

"To a what?" Audrey shook her head with a frown.

"You mean a-"

"Vampire."

"Who?" Audrey frowned.

"Damon."

"Now come on," Elena whisper yelled and grabbed Audrey's hand. Elena and Audrey ran out the back entrance. Vicki was attacking Jeremy. Audrey gasped and ran over to them.

"Vicki, no!" Elena shouted behind Audrey. Audrey looked around to find something that would kill her. Elena was way before her and hit Vicki with a wooden plank. The plank didn't have almost any affect on Vicki. Audrey glared around the ground, looking for something. She saw a wooden piece that had a sharp end. She bit her lip and grabbed it. Vicki grabbed Elena by the throat and threw her into a pile of garbage. Stefan threw Vicki against the bus and held her there.

"Vicki!" Jeremy screamed as Vicki disappeared.

"Go. Get inside. Go!" Stefan shouted to them. They ran to the door. They were almost inside, it was so close.

"Ah!" Elena shouted in pain and as Audrey glanced at her sister, Vicki was on her neck. Without thinking it through Audrey pulled Vicki by the hair and it made her turn around. Vicki's mouth was covered in blood and the surroundings of her eyes looked wicked.

"Get away from her!" Audrey yelled with the stake behind her back. Vicki sped over to her and at the right time Audrey pulled the stake out. Vicki ran right into it. She coughed and looked at the stake in her heart and then Audrey.

"Oh my god" Audrey whispered as Vicki collapsed onto the floor. Vicki's skin started to get grey and veiny.

"Vicki! Vicki! Vicki! Vicki!" Jeremy shouted as Stefan held him back. Elena was standing there, taking care of her wounds and Audrey stared at her hands. There was blood.

"Get him out of here," Elena yelled at Stefan. Stefan took Jeremy away.

Audrey stared at the veiny corpse. Her eyes started to get teary. Elena sat down next to Vicki's body and touched her. Audrey looked at Elena on the ground.

"Elena, go to Jeremy," she whispered.

"What?" Elena raised her look to her sister.

"Go!" she shouted. Elena got up and walked away, holding her wounds. After a while Damon walked to her.

"You should go. I got this," he said and Audrey raised her gaze from the body.

"I killed her," her breath was shivering when she said it.

"You turned her. You did this," she scowled him. He just glared Audrey and then the body.

"You confuse me for someone with remorse," Damon said.

"I get it Damon," Audrey whispered. "This thing you are trying to pretend."

Damon looked at her confused.

"I see right through you," she looked at him with a death glare.

"What act?" Damon raised his brow. Audrey turned her entire body towards him and stared straight into his eyes.

"You pretend that people dying around you is okay. It's not okay and you know it!" Audrey screamed the next sentence.

"None of this matters to me. None of it," Damon looked at her under his brows. Audrey frowned and gritted her teeth. She raised her hand and hit him straight on the cheek. Damon moved his chin and held his cheek for a while. Audrey stared at him straight in the eyes.

"What happened to 'I want to hurt the bitch'?" Damon questioned. Audrey lowered her eyes and breathed deeply.

"You need to leave," Damon said.

"No."

"It wasn't a question," he said again. Damon stared at her and it made her take a step back. She turned her back on him as she walked away.
