Read, Enjoy, Review!
Chapter 10: Halloween Time
Sakura had gotten an earful from Leilani for getting drunk, but she was mainly just glad Sakura was alright. Sakura wanted to check up on Elena, so Leilani headed to school on her own.
"Hey Elena," Sakura caught her about to leave. "What are you up to?" Sakura eyed her suspiciously.
"I'm going to go talk with Stefan," Elena replied.
"You're going to the boarding house, alone?" Sakura was starting to think she was either brave or stupid.
"Yes, well I would appreciate some company," Elena smiled, trying to invite her.
"Alright, I'll come, let me just grab something for this headache and I'll be right back," Sakura ran into the house. She opened one of the cabinets and took out two extra strength Tylenol. She took them with some water and headed straight back outside. "Let's go," Sakura got into Elena's vehicle.
"Early morning and already a major headache?" Elena asked as she started the car.
"Don't ask," Sakura sighed and they headed off.
They arrived at the boarding house and Elena rang the doorbell. Damon opened the door. "Is Stefan here?" Elena asked, trying not to be afraid of Damon.
"Yup," Damon replied nonchalantly.
"Where is he?" Elena asked seriously.
"And good morning to you, little miss I'm on a mission, and the little drinker," Damon looked at them both with a smile.
"That's why you have a headache?" Elena turned to Sakura. Sakura held her hands up and turned her head away, making it obvious she didn't want to hear about it. "And you," she turned back to Damon, "How can you be so arrogant and glib, after everything that you've done?" Elena crossed her arms.
"And how can you be so brave and stupid, to call a vampire arrogant and glib?" Damon retorted.
"If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead," Elena spat.
"Quit it you two," Sakura stood between them. "Where's Stefan?" Sakura asked Damon.
"He's upstairs, singing in the rain in Spain, knock yourself out," Damon let them in.
"You go talk to Stefan, I'll stay here," Sakura told Elena. She knew she would be scolded again if she went to see Stefan. Elena went upstairs, leaving Damon alone with Sakura.
Damon led her outside and closed the front door. Sakura surprised him by punching him in the shoulder. "If you kill her, I kill you. Remember that," Sakura growled.
"And here I was going to give you this back," Damon pulled out the Grimoire. "But seeing as you're threatening me," Damon was debating whether he should give it back. "Here," he handed it to her, "I'm done with it."
Sakura took the book from Damon and hugged it. "Finally," Sakura cheered and gave Damon a hug, surprising them both. Sakura fake coughed and backed away from him, "Thanks."
"Oh come on, you were a lot more friendly and frisky last night. We did more than hug," Damon winked at her.
"Liar," Sakura glared at him.
"Can't blame me for trying," he laughed. "Anyways, it was nice chatting, but I have places to be, people to kill," Damon walked away. Sakura walked inside and the three of them were sitting at the dinning table talking. Vicki went to the bathroom, and Stefan went to get her something to drink. Elena got up and walked up to her.
"False alarm, my body is feeling really funky," Vicki came back out. "It's a good funk, but it's, weird," Vicki walked over and picked up her phone started to call Jeremy.
"What are you doing, you can't call him," Elena stated.
"I can do whatever I want. Besides, I'm not going to hurt him," Vicki shook her head.
"I can't take that risk," Elena walked up to her. "You're going to have to let Jeremy go now," Elena told her.
"Oh really," Vicki didn't like it. "And how long have you been preparing that, you're not good enough speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing," Vicki was taking it the wrong way. Sakura walked in between them.
"That's not what she meant. She just doesn't want Jeremy in the middle of it all," Sakura tried to explain.
"What are you guys going to do, to stop me?" Vicki sped past Sakura and grabbed hold of Elena's neck, choking her. She started to whisper something when Sakura pulled her away. "How did you?" Vicki didn't know how Sakura could be strong enough.
"Stay away," Sakura growled and her eyes sparked.
Vicki backed away, "What are you?"
Sakura turned away and helped Elena, "Are you okay?" Stefan came back walked up to them.
"What happened?" Stefan asked seriously, he looked around and Vicki was gone.
"Why don't you guys catch some fresh air, I'll check on Vicki," Sakura made her way past Stefan, trying to avoid him a bit. "Vicki?" Sakura went upstairs and Vicki was laying on a bed, listening to music.
"Come on Sakura, let's go," Elena called to her.
"Coming," Sakura said and started to head back down. Before doing so she glanced at Vicki, who was looking at her weirdly.
The Halloween party at school was later that night, and Leilani was set on going. Leilani was going as an angel and she had picked out a costume for Sakura. And of all the things she could have picked, she picked out a vampire costume. Sakura put it on, regardless of how ironic it was. She owed at least that to Leilani, since she hadn't been hanging out with her much lately. Sakura didn't want her to think they were drifting apart. They were close enough to be sisters, and she wanted to keep it that way.
Sakura and Leilani showed up to the party in their costumes. "Wow, hot angel!" they turned to see Tyler in a Spartan outfit. Leilani giggled and approached him, he was with Bonnie and Caroline, who were both dressed as witches.
"You're not looking too bad yourself," Leilani winked at him, making him smile. Sakura started to pretend gag behind Leilani and Leilani elbowed her in the gut quickly, hoping no one would notice. Tyler offered them both a drink, an alcoholic drink. Leilani took one graciously and stepped in front of Sakura to stop her from taking one. She turned around and whispered to Sakura, while pointing a finger at her, "No alcohol for you tonight!" Sakura grumbled and walked into the school, leaving Leilani with Tyler and the others.
Elena had shown up with Jeremy, she was wearing a bloody nurse costume and Jeremy just had his hood up. Jeremy quickly left Elena's side. Elena walked up to Sakura franticly, "What's wrong?" Sakura asked Elena.
"Have you seen Jer? Vicki is here!" Elena alerted her. "She's wearing a vampire costume…" Elena trailed off as she looked at Sakura.
Sakura sighed and shook her head, "It was Leilani's idea! She had the outfit and everything ready. She has no idea," Sakura sighed. "I'll help look," Sakura smiled, Elena thanked her and they parted. With all the people in costumes, it seemed impossible to find anyone. Sakura kept wandering till she ran into Matt, who seemed to be troubled. "What's wrong Matty?" Sakura approached him, he was wearing a bloody doctors costume, matching Elena.
"You know what? I don't really know. Vicki's acting weird and Stefan and Elena are looking for her, as if she's done something wrong. Stefan says he's trying to help her, but I don't know," Matt sighed. Sakura pat him on the back lightly, "I think she's looking for Jeremy, but she's not in the best state of mind right now. Might be best to just try and enjoy the party, maybe keep an eye on your sister when you can," Sakura suggested.
"Thanks Sakura," he sighed and looked at her. "Hey, you're here as a vampire also," he laughed.
"Leilani's idea, I would have gone as Batgirl," Sakura sighed, and thought of how ironic her idea would have still been. "Well I'm off, try to enjoy yourself," Sakura walked away, to continue the search. Sakura heard a crashing noise outside and rushed out there to see Vicki, with her fangs bared, and Elena had been thrown into a pile of junk. Sakura rushed to stop Vicki from attacking Elena again, when Stefan sped in and pushed her away. Vicki disappeared and Sakura helped Elena stand up.
"Go, get inside," Stefan commanded. "GO!" he said again.
Elena grabbed a hold of Sakura and Jeremy and dragged them away. Elena opened a door to the school and Jeremy was grabbed from behind. Vicki tried to grab Elena, but Sakura blocked her, getting grabbed instead. Vicki bit down on Sakura. "Umbra Ferrum," Vicki heard Sakura say. Vicki backed off with her mouth open and a sword through her chest. Sakura pulled the bloodied sword out and Vicki whimpered slightly.
"VICKI!" Jeremy yelled and got up off the ground. "Vicki, Vicki!" he kept calling to her and Stefan stopped him from going up to her. Vicki's veins started to show and she fell to the ground, turning grey and cold. "VICKI!" Jeremy yelled again, starting to cry as Stefan kept him away from her.
"Get him out of here," Elena commanded Stefan, referring to Jeremy. Stefan walked away with Jeremy while taking his phone out of his pocket.
Elena slowly fell to the ground beside Vicki, breathing quickly out of pain and from being overwhelmed. She looked up at Sakura shocked. "How did you do that? Where did it come from?" Elena asked referring to the sword.
"Long story," Sakura sighed.
A whistle came from the buses. They turned to see Damon approaching them. "What happened here?" Damon looked at them.
Sakura pointed her sword at him, while glaring as if looks could kill. He put his hands up defensively and stepped back a little. "It's your fault," Sakura sighed and dropped her sword. In mid-air it started to glow and the energy went to Sakura's hand and reformed her ring, which had disappeared when she said the enchantment.
"You should go home, both of you," Damon looked at Elena, then Sakura, "I've got this."
"You did this," Elena stood up, "This is your fault!"
"You confuse me with someone with remorse," Damon looked between Elena and Vicki's dead body. Elena tried to push him back, with both hands, but to no avail. She tried to slap him, but he caught it easily. "None of this matters," Damon turned away from Elena, back to Sakura who was now right in front of him, and he got slapped.
He held onto his jaw and looked at her. "You both need to leave, especially with those wounds," Damon looked like he was getting hungry.
"Elena, go," Sakura sighed.
"Shouldn't you come with me?" Elena was worried.
"Just go," Sakura was fighting with her emotions. Elena sighed, and left.
"Looks like she got you good," Damon joked about the bite on her neck.
"I got her better," Sakura looked down at Vicki remorsefully.
Damon bent down and looked closer at Vicki. He looked back up at Sakura, "Where'd the sword come from? The ring?" Sakura nodded. "How did it transform though?" Damon was dumbfounded.
"Umbra Ferrum," Sakura said it again and the sword formed in her hand. She pointed at him again, "It's magic."
"But you're not a witch?" Damon tried to clarify.
"No, more like a shadow user or being or whatever you want to call it. Witches draw power from nature and everything around them. I, on the other hand, draw it from something much darker," Sakura sighed. She kept pointing the sword at him, as if pondering whether or not to kill him.
"If you were going to kill me, you would have already done it," Damon said, he stood up and looked straight into her eyes. A couple of tears fell and she dropped the sword, letting it transform back into her ring. Sakura took a couple of steps away and wiped the tears away, "Get rid of her."
"Sakura, I'm…" Damon started to say.
"Just do it," Sakura cut him off. Damon disappeared at vampire speed with Vicki's body. Sakura got into her Impala and drove off to Elena's house. When she drove up, Elena was talking with Stefan. Sakura got out of her car and headed towards them.
"I can do it," Sakura heard Damon as she came up the stairs of Elena's porch. "If this is what you want, I'll do it," Damon walked up to them.
"It's what I want," Sakura looked between them, to try and figure out what they were talking about, then it hit her. Jeremy, it had to do with him! Sakura had just killed his girlfriend, whom he saw as the only good thing in his life. Sakura cringed and looked away from them all, off into the distance.
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asked Elena.
"I want you to tell him, that Vicki left town, and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her, or worry about her. He's going to miss her, but he's going to know it's for the best," Elena looked like she was ready to cry. Damon nodded and went inside. Elena went to sit next to Stefan. "Part of me wishes I could forget too. Forget meeting you, finding out what you are and everything that's happened since," Elena surprised Sakura a little.
"If that's what you want?" Stefan offered.
"Yes, it is," Elena replied, "Because, I don't want it to be like this. I don't want to feel like this."
Sakura sighed, "I don't think that's what you really want. The Elena I knows wants to remember everything, good and bad, because it makes us who we are," Sakura sat beside Elena and put arm on her shoulder.
"She's right. Plus, if I got rid of it, it would take away how I feel about you," Elena turned to Stefan, "I can't loose that."
Damon came out of the house, "It's done." Elena got up and went inside. "So, Sakura, you're looking hot as a vampire," Damon winked at her.
"It was Leilani's idea. I probably would have gone as Batgirl," Sakura sighed.
"Batgirl? I still think you'd look hot," Damon smiled. Sakura got up and punched him in the shoulder playfully.
"I think I'd be ironic either way," Stefan spoke up. "You're going as a vampire, surrounded by vampires and batgirl, still kind of falls into our territory," Stefan smirked.
"True," Sakura laughed.
"Just can't get enough of us," Damon boasted making Sakura laugh even more.
"Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something," Sakura pondered.
"Sakura! When I get my hands on you," Leilani growled. She had searched everywhere for Sakura, when she checked the Impala and found it wasn't there, she figured it out. Sakura left Leilani at the party!
Hope you enjoyed! Please review!
