Chapter 3

Alice pov

As i got closer to the screams i slowed down not wanting to be caught be who ever or whatever was causing so much agonising pain to the person. This monstrous creature was not a wild animal or a man with a gun but a terrifying human being with razor sharp teeth in the poor defences woman's neck. I was so scared that somehow my bones had locked and i was unable to move .

The killer then noticed my presence and began to move towards me but as quick as a flash he feel motionlessly to the cold hard ground his clothes were caked with fresh blood. I then finally got the courage to move closer to see the poor victims body. I soon wish i hadn't because the victim is none other than ... my mother

Grief and shock took over me all at once . i had no time to cling to the lifeless body of my mother because a soon heard an array of loud voices . someone is coming i thought so i so i did the most logical thing i could think of . run.

I ran rapidly past the narrow twists and turns until finally home into the safety of my house i slammed the door . i collapsed onto the marble floor panting but then i turned around to see the face of none other than my father.

"Alice come with my to my study we have some thing to discuss " said my father already walking away .

I had no choice so i followed him up the stairs and down the corridor to the forbidden room my fathers study.

"daughter i saw you in the woods last night " said my father in a composed voice

"father i can explain i heard screams in the wood so i Went to see what it was£ i said in a very loud yet quick voice.

"well Alice dear you must know how it looks " he d=said in a monotone voice.

"father !" "what do you mean i said

"ALICE people suspect that you are the killer " he simply said.

But..that's... just lies how could a young girl kill someone especially " i said my voice raising higher after each word .

" Alice " my father said in a loud deadly voice.

"my own other father i would never kill my own mother " i said in as loud of a voice i could muster.

"Alice what am i supposed to believe the way you fled the scene so quickly " he bellowed at me .

"FATHER!" I yelled

"Enough Alice Salvatore i am one of the council i have to think of the towns people too "said my father in his commanding voice

" go up to your room immediately " he yelled and grabbed my neck collar and pushed me to the direction of the stairs.

I was so shocked at what my father was accusing me of murder. Of my own mother. I thought he could be horrid at times but he has reached a new low. When i finally reached my bedroom i flung myself onto my bed and i fell into a dreamless sleep .

The next morning i woke early in attempt to escape my father but much to my annoyance i was not that lucky. There was a large gathering of people outside my house.

"father why are there so many people outside the house " i asked . in a worried tone.

"there as a death last night so people are looking for answers " he said while looking out the window.

"so what are you going o do " i said looking him in the eye .

"i will have to meet with the council members to discuss the matter " with that he walked out the door .

"Alice are you all right " said a concerned voice

"Stefan don't sneak up on people like that " i said in a startled voice.

"sorry if i scarred you but do you know why those people where standing outside " said Stefan in a curious tone .

Father had not told him what had happened why was he trying to cover this up.

"well father said it was council business" i said

If father didn't tell him then neither will i .

"Stefan" i said

" yes Alice " Stefan said

"just be careful i dint want you getting hurt " i said

" don't worry Alice i will be fine " said Stefan

With that he walked upstairs . i heard the door creak open and my father stepped inside.

"father why didn't you tell Damon and Stefan about mother" i demanded

"i didn't want to worry them until the matter is solved" said my father

"we all decided for the better of the community Alice ... you will have to go away for a while " said father

"why do i have to go " i said quickly

"everyone is scarred and they blame you for the deaths of those people " said my father

I cannot believe he is saying this he is my father does he even care about me ?.

"where am i going ?" i said

"somewhere where you can do any harm you monster " he growled. Ne grabbed me and shoved my outside.

My brother will know you can't do this " i said struggling to get away

"oh.. i will say you are with other relatives.. after a while they will forget all about you " he said in the most cruel voice

this man my father but what kind of father cares more about the town than his own daughter?

My father shoved my out of the door to my home . i was met outside by a group of twisted angry faces . i knew then if i was survive this and live i had to run. My heart was thumping that hard i thought it would leap out of my chest. Just when i thought i had a tiny chance of freedom it was snatched away.

The group of vicious people yanked my towards them and all too soon for my liking i was in the middle of them . some people used their big fancy shoes to shatter my skull . other tried to stop my breathing my constantly battering my ribcage . why couldn't they just end my life quickly why did i have to suffer.

Suddenly one of the men shouted " you witch you murdered your own mother how dare you ,you should get what you deserve ".

They then left me to slowly die in agony . i slowly closed my eyes and waited to die.
