Chapter 4 – Night of the Comet – Part 2
After handing out all of their flyers, and Damon had his fill of teasing Sakura, he disappeared. Sakura wasn't really sure what he wanted, but it seemed like he was trying to figure something out. Something about her. She didn't really tell him much, but she knew he wasn't done, even though he had disappeared. Sakura met up with Leilani and they went home to get ready for the event later that night. Sakura wanted to make sure she was on guard, if Grams was right about the last time the comet showed up; things were going to get rough, and down right deadly.
It was night time now and Leilani and Sakura were ready to head to meet up with the others. They got their in Sakura's Impala and first met up with Caroline and Matt. Caroline eagerly gave them each a candle and Matt lit them up. Elena and Bonnie showed up and got their candles lit. Elena turned around and lit someone else's candle, when she looked up, she found out it was Stefan. They walked off on their own to talk.
Sakura looked up at the comet, it was beautiful. It was also accompanied by the bright half moon and many, many bright stars, twinkling in the sky. Sakura was awestruck with this rare, but natural phenomenon.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Leilani asked, dragging Sakura out of her trance.
"What? Yeah, it is," Sakura sighed. She glanced at Leilani and went back to looking at the comet. "Be careful tonight, okay Leilani," Sakura smiled weakly at her.
"Careful? Of what? Are you worried about what Grams said?" Leilani smiled, "Don't worry."
Sakura saw Elena separate from Stefan and decided to check on her. "Are you okay?" Sakura asked Elena as she approached her.
Elena sighed, "I'm fine."
"You could at least try to mean it," Sakura laughed. Elena smiled, noticing that her fake 'I'm fine' didn't work on her. She could see right through it. "Don't worry, thinks will change," Sakura sighed and pat her on the back.
"Yeah, how long will that take?" Elena rolled her eyes.
"That all depends on you," Sakura gave her a smile and walked back to Leilani and the others, leaving Elena to think.
After watching the comet for a while everyone head into the Mystic Grill. After settling down Jeremy came up to them.
"Hey has anyone seen Vicki?" Jeremy asked. This alarmed Sakura, seeing as Vicki was already attacked by a vampire, who knows what else might happen.
"You're her stalker, you tell us," Tyler commented.
"Shut it Tyler. What's wrong Jer?" Sakura glared at Tyler then turned her attention to Jeremy.
"I can't find her," Jeremy said alerting everyone, especially Matt.
"She probably found someone else to party with," Tyler took a sip of his drink. "Sorry pill pusher, I guess you've been replaced," Tyler smirked.
"What's with the 'pill pusher'?" Elena asked seriously.
They all started arguing, about Jeremy dealing, and Vicki being with Jeremy. "Shut up!" Sakura growled. "Let's just find her," Sakura glared at them. They all quit talking real quickly. Sakura wasn't one to yell. While she hadn't actually yelled, she was ready to snap.
"Thanks," Matt smiled at Sakura, glad that she stopped them. They all split up to start looking, Elena went with Jeremy to have a conversation while they looked. Sakura went outside with Matt to look around. They met up with Stefan outside, Matt stopped to talk to him while Sakura kept going.
After Stefan had walked away from Matt, Sakura turned around to see him walking to a building across the street. She looked up, on the roof, where Stefan was looking. Vicki was there, with Damon. Sakura looked back down but Stefan was gone. She rushed into the building and upstairs, to the roof. Sakura stopped before getting to the roof and listened.
"Not bad, have you been eating bunnies?" Damon asked. Sakura smirked at his remark, but couldn't help but think, bunnies? "Relax, I don't need her to be dead. But you might," Damon tossed her down. Sakura couldn't figure out what he meant by that. Why would Stefan need her dead? "What attacked you the other day?" Sakura peaked and saw Damon asking Vicki.
"I don't know, an animal," Vicki cried.
"Are you sure about that?" Damon leaned in. "Think about it. Think, think really hard. What attacked you?" Damon asked again.
"Vampire," Vicki replied. Vicki knew? If Vicki knew, things could get bad.
"Who did this to you?" Damon asked her directly.
"You did!" Vicki cried out.
"Wrong, it was Stefan," Damon told her.
"Quit it Damon," Sakura came out from hiding, seeing that things might be going to far.
"Sakura?" Stefan asked confused.
"I should have known that scent," Damon scoffed. He turned to his confused brother, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. She knows," Damon said in a sing-song voice.
"How?" Stefan asked seriously. "What did you do to her?" Stefan asked Damon, assuming something bad.
"I, didn't do anything. She just knows. She wouldn't answer me as to how," Damon explained.
"Now's not the time for this," Sakura growled. "What are you up to Damon?" Sakura growled.
Damon grabbed Vicki, pulling her up to him. "It was Stefan Salvatore, that did this to you," Damon compelled her and she repeated it back to him.
"Leave Vicki out of this Damon," Sakura started to walk towards them.
"Please Damon, please don't do this," Stefan pleaded. Damon ripped the bandage off of her neck and threw her to Stefan. Sakura rushed up to Vicki and Stefan.
"Don't even think about it," Sakura warned Stefan.
"You stay out of this," Damon snarled. He sped after Sakura and grabbed her. "Do it Stefan," Damon bared his fangs and threatened to bite Sakura.
"Don't," Sakura told Stefan. Stefan dropped Vicki, refusing to bite her, despite the veins and fangs showing. Sakura's eyes started to glow. Damon went to bite her, but found that he couldn't move. "It's dark, you're in my territory now," Sakura growled.
"I can't move!" Damon managed to say. "What are you, a witch?" Damon asked, slowly gaining some ability to move.
"No. I have magic, but I'm not a witch," Sakura blasted him away from her. "My powers are limited, but between me and Stefan, you can't win this fight. Fix Vicki," Sakura demanded.
"I was planning to anyways," Damon said getting up. "You've got some interesting powers, I might have to kill you earlier than planned," Damon walked to Vicki, he bend over and whispered into her ear.
"What happened?" Vicki asked after Damon finished with her. Damon smirked and motioned his hands towards Vicki. "Where am I?" Vicki asked. "My stitches opened. I took some pills man, I'm good," Vicki said as she got up.
"It's good to be home, I think I might stay a while," Damon winked at Sakura. "This town could use a bit of a wakeup call, don't you think?" Damon smirked.
"What are you up to, Damon?" Sakura asked.
"That's for me to know and for you two, to dot, dot, dot. Give Elena my best," Damon said to Stefan. He sped to Sakura, awkwardly close, "I'll be seeing you, around," Damon smirked, he winked at her again and disappeared. Stefan looked at Sakura seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Sakura sighed. "But that goes both ways. Don't tell anyone about the eye glowy, burst of magic like energy," Sakura smiled weakly. Stefan nodded and they headed off of the roof. They walked back into the grill and Matt was fixing Vicki's bandage.
"She said you found her wandering around," Matt said to Stefan.
"Yeah," Stefan replied.
"So um, thanks," Matt nodded towards him, and Stefan nodded back.
Sakura sat down at a booth with Bonnie, Caroline and Leilani. Stefan came over looking for Elena, but she had already left. Bonnie gave Stefan Elena's phone number and email address. When she handed him the paper, she withdrew he hand fast, spooked. They looked at her curiously, wondering what was wrong. Sakura had a feeling it was a vampire thing mixing with Bonnie's witch factor, but kept her mouth closed. Bonnie excused herself, making a quick getaway from the table.
"Yeah, she kinda wigs out. It's kinda her thing," Caroline explained vaguely. Stefan sighed and looked around.
"We should probably get going too," Sakura stated, getting up out of her seat. "Need a ride Stefan?" Sakura asked.
"Hm? Yeah sure," Stefan smiled with gratitude.
"I call," Leilani started to say when Sakura glared at her. "Okay, no shotgun for me," Leilani whispered to herself as she pouted. They walked out of the Grill, leaving Caroline alone.
"So, how's Zack doing, with his new found family around?" Sakura asked as they piled into her car.
"He's alright, I think," Stefan sighed, not knowing what to say. "About earlier," Stefan began.
Sakura glared at him and shook her head. She nodded her head back to Leilani and shook her head. Implying that Leilani didn't know what was going on. Stefan mouthed "oh" and nodded his head. They were mostly silent on the way there, with the exception of Leilani's random questions.
After they dropped Stefan off at the boarding house they headed home. They got out of the car and Leilani opened up their house door. She turned around, but Sakura wasn't there. She looked around the corner and saw Sakura sitting on her car, staring up into the sky.
"Are you coming in?" Leilani asked.
"I think I'll stay out here for a while. It's not everyday you get to watch a comet," Sakura smiled.
"I'll bring out some hot chocolate," Leilani ran into the house.
Sakura laid back, with her left arm behind her head. She held her right hand into the sky and looked at her ring. She had a feeling that it would come in handy. 'Umbra Ferrum' ringed through her head. Knowing she had magic, while not actually a witch, she wasn't sure she wanted to say it out loud. It could have been a spell for all she knew. Especially since it was in the Grimoire, and it was in Latin. Sakura didn't know much Latin, but she could figure out it had something to do with shadows and iron, or swords.
Leilani came out with the hot chocolate a few minutes later to find out that Sakura had fallen asleep while waiting. Leilani smiled as she looked at how peaceful Sakura looked. Leilani came up to her and noticed a mark on her neck. Leilani set the hot chocolate on the car and went to move the coat out of the way to look at it. Sakura's hand shot out, grabbing hers. "What's up Lei?" Sakura yawned and looked at her.
"Hot chocolate!" Leilani giggled and picked the cups back up.
"Thanks," Sakura took one of the cups from her. Leilani sat beside her and they watched the comet. Leilani wasn't sure what she saw on Sakura's neck, but to her it looked dark red, like dried blood!
I hope you liked the little twist with Sakura!
Please review! :D
