So I decided to respond to some of the review since I GOT 12, ah that's great.
xThe Secret Diaries: aw, thanks, I've always been a bit meh about my writing style so I'm glad to know you like it so much XD
coveryoureyes: Thanks, and I will continue as long as people keep reviewing and all that good stuff XD. Yeah, I know, and I have something planned for when she finds out about his plan for Katherine. And I know right, it was about time someone was on Damon's side.
Lacri (Guest): Thank you, and I'm glad you like Alison. And I try to put as much of my own dialogue as I can, but it all just depends on the episode, like this one, because of how I had Damon change Alison instead of Vicki, this one has a lot more original dialogue.
Guest 1: XD
Guest 2: XD
WickedlyMinx: Thanks for your input, I hope you like what I did with her seer powers in this chapter.
Guest 3: Thank you for your input, I hope you like what I did with her seer powers as well.
CWTV-TeenWolf-Lover: Thanks for your input, and I took your offer into consideration and it's what helped me decide how to further advance her powers because she's a vampire, she won't be able to control right now, but I hope you like what I did.
Charmed2100: Hey. Thank you for your input and I hope you like what I did too. And I'll admit Elena did have her moments when I just couldn't stand her as well. XD
Rayven Plexure: Thanks for your input. And that's what I was thinking, for it to build up like that and just take it away wouldn't be very good, it actually made me consider Turing her into a vampire at all. I hope you like what I did in this chapter.
Aiphira: Thank you for her input, hope you like what I did.
Nik1804: XD I'm glad you're so excited, and I hope you like this chapter
Overall I love all your guys' reviews, they all put a smile on my face. I'm glad you guys all like Alison so much, and I love that you all put your input in on her being a seer/Vampire. It doesn't go unnoticed and I took all of your guys' suggestions into consideration when I made this chapter. Here ya, go.
Tyler walked out of the school and out into the dark parking lot, a duffle bag hung over his shoulder as he made his way to his car. A rattle of trashcans called his attention, he slowed down his pace looking around before opening the trunk and putting the duffle bag inside. The lid slammed shut with a thud. Something or someone ducked out of sight a mere second before Tyler turned their way. The Lockwood boy approached his car door slowly.
He opened it as he looked around cautiously. Suddenly it was slammed shut and Alison was leant up against it with a wicked smirk on her face. Tyler stared at her in shock, not being able to form words as she looped her arms around his neck and pulled him in.
"Tyler." She whispered, her breath hitting his ear.
"Alison, what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked rapidly as he searched her face for any signs of being hurt.
"I'm so hungry." She whispered once more, ghosting her nose over his neck.
"Come on, I'll go get you something." Tyler reached around her and opened his door. Alison glared at him as she slammed the door shut once more.
A burning sensation worked its way up Alison's throat, one she was unfamiliarly with, as her hunger increased. She felt the skin beneath her eyes tighten and her gums swell. Tyler stumbled away from her in horror, upon seeing the monstrous form her face had taken.
Alison went to lunge at Tyler but was caught around her waist by two strong arms and pulled away from the Lockwood boy. Tyler's back hit something hard and he turned around to see Damon, anger coursing through his body at the sight of him.
"What's going on here, Stefan? What's wrong with her?" Tyler asked turning back to Stefan who was still holding Alison back, her face still etched with dark veins.
"You don't talk." Damon said with a sarcastic smile, fighting back every instinct to kill him then and there.
"Screw you dude." Tyler snapped, scowling at the older Salvatore.
"'Dude' Really? 'Dude'" Damon mocked, taking a menacing step forward.
"Damon, don't." Stefan warned his older brother.
"Oh, come on, who's gonna miss this idiot?" Damon asked with a faux cheerful smile, before it melted into a scowl as his eyes landed back on Tyler.
"I won't." Alison muttered, ripping out of Stefan's grip with a scowl to the younger Salvatore as she did so.
"See, two against one. I win." Damon reached out to grab Tyler but was cut off by Stefan.
"Damon." He spoke his older brother's name in a stern tone once again. Damon rolled his eyes and gripped Tyler's face so the boy was looking at him.
"Forget what you saw here tonight. None of us were here." With that Damon threw Tyler across the parking lot, before him and Stefan took Alison and sped away.
The three stopped in front of the Salvatore boarding house, the cold night air blew by softly. Alison stumbled out of their grip before turning around to glare at the two, crossing her arms.
"So what now?" She asked with a roll of her eyes.
"Now, we hold you captive." Damon smirked, glancing over at his younger brother.
"Hold me captive?" Alison repeated in disbelief.
"Not my idea." Damon held his hands up in surrender before pointing over at Stefan. Stefan rolled his eyes, smacking Damon's hand away as he passed.
"I'm not holding you captive, I'm helping you." Alison stared the younger Salvatore down for a few silent moments, before reluctantly following him inside, Damon following behind her.
Alison looked around the house, she'd never get used to its beauty, her hands in the back pockets of her jeans. The tips of her fingers brushed up against the top of her phone, causing a frown to form on her face.
"Hey, I'm just gonna make a phone call, real quick." Alison gestured to her phone before exiting the room where both Salvatore's were.
Alison ducked into an empty room of the boarding house before pressing the phone to her ear, it rang a few times before Caroline's voice came through.
"Hello."
"Caroline." Alison breathed out with a small smile.
"Alison? Oh, my god, you know how worried I've been. Where are you?" Caroline asked frantically causing Alison to let out a small laugh at Caroline's antics.
"I'm with a friend." Alison answered hesitantly.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Caroline asked. Alison sighed, she should've known better than to try and get something passed Caroline.
"Nothing, I just needed to take a break for a second to fix some things." Alison worded her sentence carefully as she spoke it.
"Are you going to make it for the Halloween party tonight?" Caroline asked, and Alison sighed in relief for the subject change.
"I don't know Care, I'll try," Alison answered honestly as she leant up against a wall. "Tell Bonnie I'm okay."
"Okay, Love you Ali." Alison smiled slightly at her best friend's words.
"Love you too, Care." Alison laughed slightly as she hung up.
"Awe, you two are so cute." Alison jumped slightly, startled. She looked over at Damon wide eyed, who stood in the doorway.
"Oh, shut it," Alison rolled her eyes throwing whatever was closest to her at him. He caught it with ease and tossed it to the side. Alison sighed, placing a hand on her hip "What do you want?"
Damon looked at her silently, his eyes roaming over her entire body. Alison shifted uncomfortably crossing her arms over her chest. Finally Damon sighed.
"Stefan summoned you." He called over his shoulder as he left the room. Alison stood there silently for a moment before following the older Salvatore.
…
"Ugh, I'm so bored!" Alison groaned throwing her head back. She sat on a chair in Stefan's upstairs bedroom at the Boarding house. Stefan sat a crossed from her while Damon sat at a desk flipping through a newspaper.
"I don't understand why I have to stay cooped up here. Why can't I just go home?" She asked, slouching over with a bored look on her face.
"Because you're changing Alison, and it's not something you wanna do alone." Stefan told her soothingly as he placed a hand on her knee.
"Yeah, I get it, you think I'm gonna go off on some killing spree and drain everyone in sight. Glad to know you trust me Stef." Alison smiled sarcastically, rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms. Stefan opened his mouth to respond but Alison got up and made her way over to the desk Damon sat at.
"There's nothing about that Logan guy I killed in here. Not a word. Someone's covering it up." Damon mumbled, as she hoped up and sat on the desk facing him.
"What's this?" She asked curiously, as she picked up a small compass and twirled it in her hands.
"It's a very special, very old compass," Damon explained as he plucked the device from her grasp and set it back down on the desk. "What was Logan Fell doing with it?" He muttered, causing Stefan to look over at him. "Aren't you curious?"
"Well, if you're so worried that somebody's onto you, why don't you just leave town, Damon?" Stefan offered.
"We should all be worried." Damon pointed out.
"Hey, um, I'm hungry," Both Salvatore's looked over at Alison. "Do you have anything to eat?"
"Here." Stefan handed her a small green mug filled with blood. Alison took it, her face scrunching up when she got whiff of it.
"What is it?" she asked hesitating to bring it to her lips.
"It's what you're craving." Stefan explained with a small nod as she took a sip
"Don't lie to the girl," Damon said with a slight chuckle before looking over to Alison. "It's so not what you're craving, but it'll do the pinch, right Stef?" Damon glanced over at his shoulder.
"What is it?" Alison asked once more, as she took another small sip.
"Yeah, what is it? Is it skunk? Saint Bernard? Bambi?" Damon asked sarcastically. Alison whimpered quietly as she looked down at the cup sadly, before setting it down on the table and backing away from it.
"Alison," Stefan picked up the mug and gave it to her once again. "It'll help. So you don't kill anyone." Alison took it hesitantly before taking a large gulp of it.
"She's new. She needs people blood. She can't sustain on that stuff." Damon pointed out, standing up so he was standing right next to Alison.
"Yeah, why can't I have people blood, I'm a big girl, I can handle it." Alison straightened up defensively as she asked.
"Because it's wrong to pray on innocent people, Ali." Stefan pointed out knocking the grin off of Alison's face.
"But when Damon fed on me he didn't kill me," Alison pointed out with her grin slowly returning. "Can't I do that?" she asked excitedly.
"No," Stefan said sternly not even giving it a second thought. "There's no guarantee that you can control yourself, okay? It takes years to learn that. You could easily kill somebody, and then you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, which, if I haven't made it clear, is eternity."
"Ugh, I know," Alison fell back on the couch with a groan. "But your way's so boring. If I'm gonna live for eternity, I want it to be fun."
"Hey, look at me," Stefan knelt down in front of Alison so she was looking him in the eye. "You don't have to kill people for it to be fun. We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are." Alison looked at him silently, the two silently staring into each other's eyes.
"Okay, count Deepak," Damon scoffed drawing both of their attention. "I am outta here." Alison immediately jumped up beside him with a grin.
"Can I come?" she asked excitedly.
"Nope," Damon pushed her back down onto the couch. "Sun, is a no-no for vampires."
"But you go out in the sun all the time with that," Alison pointed out, gesturing to his daylight ring. "Can I get one of those?" She asked hopefully. Damon looked at her silently before sighing.
"I'll see what I can do," Alison perked up with a large grin as Damon left, drinking the last of the animal blood in the mug. "Can I have some more?" She asked holding out the cup to Stefan.
Damon jogged down the stairs, just as he reached the bottom steps the doorbell rang. Damon glanced back up the steps where he could hear Stefan and Alison talking and laughing before heading to the door. He opened the door to see Elena standing there, worry and nervousness in her eyes.
"Is Stefan here?" Elena asked immediately.
"Yep!" Damon answered popping the 'p'
"Where is he?" She asked when it was clear Damon wouldn't continue.
"And good morning to you little miss 'I'm on a mission'." Damon smirked down at the girl as she scowled.
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything you've done? After you turned my sister into… into…" Elena trailed off not being able to say it.
"A vampire?" Damon filled in with a smirk. Elena narrowed her eyes at the older Salvatore and opened her mouth to reply but footsteps coming down the stairs caught both their attentions.
"Elena?" Elena looked around Damon to see Alison standing there. Elena immediately pushed passed Damon and over to her sister, grabbing her face and checking for any signs of being hurt.
"Are you okay?" Alison rolled her eyes and pulled Elena's hands off of her.
"I'm fine, little sister," She replied, emphasizing little. Alison glanced over Elena at Damon and smiled slightly, Damon only ducked his head and left, the door closing behind him. "Um… are you looking for Stefan?" Alison asked after a moment's silence.
"Alison," The eldest Gilbert glanced back at Stefan who was walking down the stairs. "Can you excuse us for a second?" Alison looked between her sister and Stefan before ducking into the kitchen with a sigh.
"What happens now?" Elena asked as soon as her sister was out of sight. "Because everyone is out there looking for her. Bonnie and Caroline are freaking out, Jeremy is worried sick. What am I supposed to tell them?"
"I'm working with her, but it's gonna take time," Stefan answered honestly. "She has a very independent and impulsive personality. She doesn't like being told what to do, this will all play a part in how she responds to this."
"She's my sister Stefan."
"I know," Stefan said, taking Elena's hands in his. "I know, and I am doing the best I can to help her, but you have to trust me with this. You have to trust that I will do whatever I can until she is safe."
"And how long's that gonna be, Stef?" Alison asked walking back into the room, a slight bounce in her step. Both looked over at her silently.
…
At Mystic Falls high, the walls were all decorated as the whole school was getting ready for the Halloween party. Tyler walked down the halls looking at every face that passed as if he was searching for someone. He perked up when he saw Caroline and Bonnie over by their lockers, the latter holding a large bag.
"Hey," Tyler greeted as he approached the two. Both girls looked at Tyler with slight scowls. "I heard you were putting together a search party for Alison."
"Not that it's any of your business, but she called early today. She's fine." Caroline answered the Lockwood boy as she crossed her arms.
"That's good. That's great…" Tyler trailed off, shifting under the intense gazes of the two girls in front of him. "I figured you two must have been worried sick, Alison being your best friend and all." Tyler said, trying to ease the tension in the air.
"Yeah, and why do you care?" Bonnie asked, her eyes narrowing.
"I was just gonna offer, if there was anything I could do." Tyler replied, avoiding the question.
"Thanks, but no thanks." Caroline smiled sarcastically at the boy as she closed her locker before walking off with Bonnie, leaving Tyler to stand there by himself.
…
"Coffee is our friend," Stefan explained, gesturing to the mug in his hand. He, Alison, and Elena sat at a table in the living room, Alison in the middle of the two. "It's the caffeine. It circulates through our veins, and it warms our body so we're not so cold to the touch."
"Well, what if I wanna drink human blood?" Alison asked, ignoring the fact that her sister cringed slightly at the question.
"You're gonna have to learn to live with that urge and fight it on a daily basis, one day at a time." Stefan told her honestly. Alison groaned, dropping her head down on the table.
"Ugh! Stupid rules. I hate rules. Rules just don't work for me." Alison gestured to herself wildly.
"It can work. It's your choice Alison." Stefan said quietly, placing his hand over hers to stop her from flailing around. Alison looked from Stefan down to their hands. She quickly snatched her hand from his touch, feeling Elena's gaze on the both of them.
"I have to use the bathroom," Alison said quickly as she stood up, then she stopped and looked down at herself confused. "Why do I have to pee, I thought I was dead. Weird." She breathed out the last word before going in search for the bathroom.
After exploring nearly half the boarding house Alison found herself in a bedroom, a large bedroom. She walked in cautiously as she looked around at the interior of it.
"What are you doing?" She jumped at the sudden noise, before turning back as seeing Damon standing in the doorway.
"Just exploring," She finally said after a moment's silence. Damon never responded, he only tossed a small object to her. She scrunched up her face in confusion as she looked at it. It was a small silver ring with a heart shaped sapphire in the middle. "What's th-"
"It's a daylight ring," Damon answered before she could finish her question, Alison looked down at it in awe, a small smile on her face as she slipped it onto her middle finger. "I called in a favor with a friend in Atlanta."
"Thank you." Alison breathed out with a smile. Damon gave a small nod before turning to leave, he stopped mid step before glancing back at Alison.
"Come on, you've been cooped up all day." Alison followed him quickly, yet confused.
"Where are we going?" she asked as they made their way down the stairs.
"To get you a costume, you can't go to a Halloween party looking like that." Damon gestured to Alison with a smirk before opening the front door for her. Alison threw her head back as she laughed before heading out the door with Damon following.
The two climbed into Damon's car, Damon in the driver's seat and Alison in the passenger seat. It was silent except for the soft sound of music playing out of the radio.
Late at night I could hear the crying
I hear it all, trying to fall asleep
When all the love around you is dying
How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save?
A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel
"Damon, can I ask you a question?" Alison asked after a long silence, turning in her seat so she was looking at him, her chocolate eyes scanning his profile.
"Depends on the question." Damon replied.
"Why did you turn me?" Alison asked quietly. Damon didn't speak, his eyes glued to the road as he racked his brain for an answer.
"Because… I was bored." He finally said, not making eye contact with the girl beside him.
"Bored?" Alison repeated with a scoff.
"And," Damon said loudly, causing Alison to stop and look at him. "Because I knew you wanted me to."
"And how did you know that?" Alison challenged, narrowing her eyes at the man beside her. Damon let out a sigh as they pulled to a stop at a red light. Finally he looked over at her, their eyes meeting.
"Because of the attraction you have to unnormal things," Alison didn't reply, finding herself lost in his icy eyes. "Like me." He added with a smirk and he pressed down on the gas petal, his eyes going back to the road as the car started up again.
You do it all for my own protection
You make me feel like I'll be okay
Still I have so many questions
How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save?
A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel, just let go
You don't have to be alone
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
They pulled up to a large building, giant colorful letters hung over the entrance reading 'Party City', illuminating everything in the darkness. Alison smirked, Halloween has always been her favorite holiday. It was the day she got to be someone she wasn't, live someone else's story. She hoped out of the car quickly and started walking over to the store.
"Calm down," Damon grabbed her arms pulling her to a stop. "I want to show you something."
"What?" Alison raised an eyebrow curious yet confused.
"You remember this trick?" In a blur of motion Damon disappeared and was all the way by the front entrance of the store. Alison looked over at him with a wide grin. "You're turn!" He called to her across the parking lot.
Alison took a hesitant step forward before kicking off to run. The air whipped passed her ears, and she felt like she was almost floating. She came to a stop a second later and found herself next to Damon. Alison let out a giggle with a huge smile.
"Let's do it again." She turned to Damon excitedly. The Salvatore only shook his head with an amused smirk.
"Later. First, I wanna show you something else," Damon motioned for her to follow as he entered the store, near one of the aisle stood a girl, maybe in her mid-twenties, her bleach blonde hair up in a high ponytail.
"Excuse me, miss?" the lady turned with a sigh her eyes held no enthusiasm, as she looked at the two approaching.
"How can I help you?" she asked boredly.
"I need you to go get me a vampire costume, the sexiest one you have." Damon told her.
"They're in aisle 6 go get it yourself." The girl waved them off and turned away. Damon winked at Alison before grabbing the girl and turning her so she was facing him.
"I want you to go get me a vampire costume for my friend here, preferably black." His eyes dilated as he compelled the blonde. The girl then nodded, and turned to leave to go get the costume Damon had asked for.
"Compulsion. I almost forgot about that," Alison crossed her arms, smirking. "How do you do it?"
"Stare them right in the eyes, and will them to do whatever it is you ask," Damon explained simply. "As long as they aren't wearing Vervain or have it in their system it should work."
The blonde came walking back over with a package in her hands. She handed it to Damon with an enthusiastic smile, Damon smirked as he took it before taking a step back.
Alison stood in front of her and stared right into her eyes.
"I don't feel like paying, so you're going to carry on and pay no attention as we leave." Her eyes dilated as she compelled the blonde.
"I hope you like the costume, bye." The girl waved before walking over to another aisle and straightening up some things on the rack.
Alisons laugh echoed in the empty street as she and Damon exited the shop.
"I love being a vampire." Alison sighed in content, as she wiped away a fake tear. Damon smirked down at the girl as he handed her, her costume.
"I knew you would," Alison took it with a smile, as their hands made contact she gasped and her eyes turned solid white.
She was at her house, in her bedroom. The only light was from the small lamp on her bedside. She stood in the center of the room with a girl who looked exactly like Elena.
"Elena?"
"Guess again?" the look alike smirked.
"Katherine." Alison breathed out. Katherine smirked as she circled Alison, her eyes scanning the girl as if seeing if she was deemed worthy of her approval.
"Alison Gilbert," Katherine said as if she was testing the name out. "We're going to be such good friends." And in the next second she was gone, leaving Alison alone and confused.
With another sharp gasp Alison stumbled away from Damon, dropping the costume, as confusion covered her face. Katherine? Was this the same Katherine Damon and Stefan spoke of? And why did she look just like Elena?
"What was that?" Damon asked, gripping her arms so that Alison looked up at him instead of at the ground.
Alison didn't speak as she racked her brain for what just happened. Usually her visions were of pictures flashing by, but this time… this time it was a scene. It felt as if she was there.
"Alison." Damon said sternly, drawing the brunette's attention to him. Alison swallowed audibly.
"Nothing. I just… why does Katherine look like Elena?" Alison asked, looking up at Damon curiously. Damon blinked in shock.
"How do you know that?" Damon asked in a quiet tone, almost threatening.
"I saw her. I get these visions." Alison stuttered out, getting a little scared by Damon's freak out.
"What visions?" He asked in the same tone, his hand gripping her arms tighter.
"I'm a seer," Alison finally spat out. Damon stopped, his arms dropping to his side as he turned his back to Alison.
"Damon." Alison raised a hand hesitantly, but before she could touch him he started walking to the car.
"Come on, we should get you to the party." He muttered, not even looking back at the Gilbert girl.
"Yeah, the party." Alison sighed quietly as she followed him.
…
Alison walked around the loud, party eyeing any and everyone around her, a throbbing hunger scratching at the back of her throat. The music made her whole body thump, and the lights flashed across the room causing Alison to stumble about slightly.
That's when she ran into Tyler.
"Woah, Alison, so you decided to come out of hiding?" Tyler smirked at her, as he helped her steady herself. Alison stared at him with hunger in her eyes, the sound of his blood pulsing through his veins filled her ears.
"Don't move. Don't scream." She looked right into his eyes, her pupils dilating as she compelled him. The dark veins underneath her eyes slivered across her face as her fangs pushed through her gums.
She hummed in satisfaction of the feeling of her fangs penetrating his skin, nearly moaned at the pleasure from his hot blood dripping down her throat. Tyler grunted, but did nothing else as she sucked his blood from his body.
Suddenly she was ripped from him and Stefan stepped in front of her and looked at Tyler.
"Go. Forget this happened." He compelled the Lockwood. Tyler blinked once before walking away like he wasn't bleeding from his neck.
Alison wiped the blood from her chin and stared down at the blood on her hands. Guilt racked her body knowing that if Stefan hadn't cut in she would've drained him until he was no more.
"Stefan, I almost-" She didn't even get to finish before Stefan grabbed her hands and cut her off.
"That doesn't matter," He said sternly making the Gilbert girl look up at him. "What does matter is that you didn't." Alison swallowed loudly and nodded her head.
"Is Elena here?" She asked looking around the crowded room for her sister.
"Yeah, come on." Stefan nodded, and led Alison over to a small clearing where Elena stood with Matt and Vicki.
"You found her." Elena breathed out as soon as she saw the two approaching.
"Hey, Ali, are you okay?" Matt asked, noticing that Alison was staring just passed them at a girl covered in fake blood. To Matt it confused him, but to Elena and Stefan they knew exactly what was happening.
"Alison, maybe you should-" Elena started but in a flash Alison was gone. Matt looked around wide eyed at the sudden disappearance of the girl.
"Wait? Where did she..?" Matt trailed off looking around for his ex-girlfriends sister. Then Stefan took off just as fast leaving Elena to explain what had happened.
…
Alison came to a stop just outside the school in the parking lot, the large yellow buses. She could hear soft moans, ones that any normal wouldn't be able to hear. She sped over to where it was, seeing Vicki and Jeremy making out against one of the buses.
"Alison!" Jeremy jumped apart from Vicki, and gave out an awkward chuckle. Alison just stared at her younger brother and Vicki, her eyes darting back and forth between them quickly. Her fingers began to twitch as she took a hesitant step forward.
"Alison? Are you okay?" Jeremy asked, concern in his eyes. That's when Alison saw it. The small cut on his cheek, the tiny trickle of blood coming from the cut. She sped over to him shoving Vicki out of the way as she grabbed his chin and turned him to look at her.
"You're hurt." Her eyebrows furrowed as she wiped the blood off his cheek. Taking a step back she stared at the red liquid on her finger before she licked it off, like licking brownie mix off a spoon.
"You sick bitch." Alison's attention snapped to Vicki who was looking at Alison in disgust. Her veins flared in anger and her fangs flashes, causing Vicki to stumble back terrified.
"Alison?" Jeremy called her attention back to him. When she looked back at her little brother his eyes went wide, seeing the dark veins under her eyes, and the sharp fangs in her mouth.
In fast blur Alison had Jeremy pinned down to the floor. She glanced over her shoulder to see Vicki taking off into the darkness of the night.
Just when she was about to take a bite she was pulled off of him and flung up against the bus. Alison glanced over Stefan to see Elena helping a horrified Jeremy up and away from her.
"Alison, listen to me, you can control it," Stefan said sternly, the grip he had on her arms loosening when Elena and Jeremy were gone. "Just calm down and breathe." He said quietly not looking anywhere but her eyes.
"I can't Stefan." She whispered, placing her hand on his wrist. In a swift motion she twisted it until she heard the bones crack and flung him away from her and then she took off.
The Gilbert girl came to a stop when she saw her. When she saw Vicki looking around, glancing behind her every few seconds, her arms hugged around herself. And when Alison looked at her all she saw was the girl Tyler had cheated on her with, the girl who took advantage of her little brother.
She quickly pinned the girl against the bus and sank her fangs into her skin, devouring the blood that oozed out of the girl.
"Alison!" She heard her name called by various people but she didn't pay it any attention. She drank Vicki's blood until the girl went limp in her arms.
Alison let go of the Donovan girl, allowing her lifeless body to fall to the floor. She wiped the blood from her chin and took a couple steps away.
"Vicki!" Jeremy came running over as he screamed the girl's name, dropping down to his knees beside her. "What did you do?" He looked up at his older sister, pain and tears in his eyes. That's when it all came flooding back to her.
"I-I…" Alison stumbled away from the dead girl and her brother, clutching her stomach. "Oh god, I…" She felt the tears sting her eyes. Alison shook her head, not being able to tear her gaze from Vicki. Alison let herself crumbled to the ground, but instead of hitting the hard cement like she wanted to she fell into someone's arms.
She could tell it was Stefan without having to look back at him. She clutched his arm that was wrapped around her, steadying her against his chest and let the tear fall loosely.
"I shouldn't have left the house. I shouldn't have come to this damn party. I-I…"
"Sh," Stefan hushed her, hugging her closer. "It's okay Alison. It's okay." Stefan looked up from the girl in his arms to Elena, silently telling her to take Jeremy home. Elena nodded, a pitying look in her eyes when she looked down at her broken older sister.
She took her crying brother and left.
"I killed her. I killed her." Alison mumbled over and over again. Stefan didn't let go of her as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed his older brother's number.
"What?" Came Damon's annoyed voice.
"I need you help." Stefan said simply.
"With wh-" Damon cut himself off when he heard a quiet sob. "Is that Alison?" Damon demanded.
"Yeah, she-" Stefan didn't get to finish because Damon hung up. Stefan sighed, putting his phone back into his pocket.
Silently Alison pushed out of Stefan's arms and walked over to Vicki, and sat down next to her body. Alison took in a deep breath fighting back the tears, and wiping away the ones that had already fallen.
…
When Damon arrived to the scene, Alison was sitting next to Vicki's dead body, a blank look in her eyes as she stared at it. Stefan was standing a little ways away, his arms crossed as he watched over the girl with sadness.
"What happened?" Damon asked as he approached his younger brother.
"She wasn't ready, and you let her leave anyway. That's what happened," Stefan uncrossed his arms and sighed. "I'm going to go check on Elena." He casted one last glance at Alison before speeding away.
Damon stood there silently his eyes trained on the girl in front of him, taking in her tear stained cheek, and red eyes.
"I killed her," Alison didn't look up her eyes still on Vicki's pale face. "I would've killed Tyler and my brother too if I had the chance." She glanced up at Damon finally, unshed tears in her eyes. It felt like a punch in the gut when Damon looked at how broken she was, he quickly pushed that feeling away and sat down next to her.
They were both silent, as Damon stared at her profile. He'd be lying if he said she didn't remind him of Katherine in some ways. Her attitude, her witty remarks, how beautiful she was. But she was also nothing like her at the same time. She felt remorse when she killed someone, while Katherine could do it without blinking.
"Come on," Damon stood up and held a hand out to Alison. The girl looked up at him, before hesitantly taking his hand and allowing him to pull her to her feet. "I'll take care of this, you go home."
Alison nodded glancing down at Vicki one last time before walking away. With a sigh, Damon picked up the body and left into the darkness to get rid of it.
…
Alison walked up onto the porch of her house to see Stefan sitting on the bench beside the front door. She walked up hesitantly looking around for Elena and Jeremy.
"Where are they?" Alison asked. Stefan looked up at her, taking in a deep breath.
"Inside. She's talking to Jeremy." Alison nodded silently, rubbing her one arm as she sat down next toe Stefan.
"Is it okay if I um… If I stay with you until I get things under control?" She asked quietly. Without hesitation Stefan nodded.
"Yeah, of course," Alison gave a small smile before looking at the ground. "I'll be there for you Alison, I'll always be there." Stefan told her firmly placing a hand on her thigh. Alison looked from his hand to him, noticing a certain look in his eyes, a look that she couldn't tell if she liked or not.
"He's a mess," Elena said as she came walking out. Alison quickly stood up, not meeting Stefan's gaze. "I don't want him to go through this again. He's just a kid."
Alison watched as her younger sister ran a hand through her hair, a worried look in her eyes. Alison sighed glancing back at Stefan.
"Can you make him forget?" She asked quietly.
"Alison…" Stefan trailed off.
"I'd do it myself, but I-I can't look at him. I can't see him like that knowing that I'm the reason." Alison started getting worked up, gesturing to herself.
"I'll do it," The three on the porch turned to see Damon walking up. "If this is what you want… I'll do it." Alison nodded, turning fully to him with a grim expression on her face.
"No you can't," Elena protested. "As much as it hurts to see him like this, you can't just take someone's memory like that-"
"My brother watched me kill someone tonight," Alison snapped, cutting of her younger sister. "If it was up to me id erase your memory of it to." When Elena didn't respond Alison turned back to Damon.
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asked.
"That she left town and she won't be coming back. That he-he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's… He's gonna miss her, but knows it's for the best." Alison gave a firm nod.
Damon took a step closer to her, and slowly wiped away a stray tear that fell down her cheek, his eyes not leaving hers. He gave a small nod before going inside. Alison let out a shaky breath before turning to Elena and Stefan.
"I'm going to be staying at the boarding house for a while, cover for me with Jenna?" Alison asked her sister. Elena gave a silent nod. Alison returned to the nod before going upstairs to her room.
She flicked the lights on, looking around at the light purple walls, the various drawings pinned to the walls, the array of pictures across her dresser.
She pulled out two large duffel bags from under her bed. Slowly she began to fill it up with clothes after turning on her iPod.
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
She opened her closet door the light filtering in and bouncing off all the drawings that filled it. She sat down in the middle looking through all of them.
From a drawing of her, Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline to the picture of her parent's car, to the most recent picture of Damon. With a sigh she set it back down and grabbed the pile of art supplies that sat on its shelf
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell
Suddenly the music cut off. She turned from her two stuffed duffel bags to see Damon standing in the doorway. She sighed, looking at him expectantly.
"It's done." Damon said, before silently walking over and grabbing her bags, Alison trailed behind him as they walked back down stairs and back out to the porch.
When they got out there Elena and Stefan were sitting on the porch bench talking. Alison gave a small wave to her younger sister before going to the car and climbing into the back seat. She was later joined by Damon in the driver's seat and Stefan getting into the passenger
"Are you ready?" Stefan asked, turning in his seat to look back at Alison.
Alison nodded silently looking out the window. Stefan sighed straightening in his seat, before giving his older brother the okay to go.
So I really like this chapter. It's one of my favorites so far. Tell me what you think about it. Review ;)
