The Killer.

"So please explain your reason for lying to me?" I crossed my arms in the doorway of Gramm's house. After Rebekah laid that bomb on me, I decided to just go there instead of Kol's. It was away from Bonnie & Kol and that's what I needed right now.

"I didn't lie to you, I just withheld some of the truth." Kol explained exasperatedly when I didn't say anything he sighed."If anything it was a tiny white lie."

"Connor isn't dead. You saved him. And Klaus is off in Italy digging up an ancient sword to read a map to the cure for vampirism." I replied annoyed, I wasn't annoyed that he didn't tell me it was the fact that he wouldn't.

"The less people know about it the better, I trust you little witch." Kol said, I scoffed because I clearly didn't see it."But people like your sister, and friends don't need to know."

"Please, you'll need a witch. And you fucked up by not telling me."

"We were trying to protect you." Kol said, I sighed and shook my head.

"Okay. Now leave."

"Alicia."

"I said leave." I hissed, without another word he rushed off. I rolled my eyes and stepped out onto the porch slamming the door behind me. I climbed into the car and headed to the grill, the place wasn't open yet but if Matt was opening I could get him to make me some very fresh fries.

I pushed the front doors open, surprised they were actually unlocked and strolled inside. Matt & April turned and looked at me confused.

"Hey Matt, the doors were unlocked." I said awkwardly, the three of us looked at each other for a moment.

"Alicia!" Jeremy yelled, I turned to see what he wanted but instead ran right into a fist. Everything went black as I hit the floor in a heap.

This has to be like the 13th time this has happened to me.

When I finally woke back up, I was handcuffed to the bar. I tried to move my legs but those were cuffed to the stool I was sitting on. I had the absolute worst headache I'd ever had.

"You're okay." April whispered lowly. I turned to look at her the poor girl look terrified.

"He hit me didn't he?"

"Oh yeah he did." Matt replied, I scoffed shaking my head. I wanted to check my face so badly but couldn't lift my hands far enough back.

"Hey, Baldie untie me." I ordered, Connor just chuckled from wherever he was."God I just wanted some fries."

"Use your magic?" Matt whispered to me, I tried to focus but I couldn't. My head was pounding from being hit and I probably was a bloody mess.

"He's smart, I need to be able to focus to do that. I can barely breathe without my head hurting." I explained frowning.

"Hey! We're going to have visitors you two get in the back." Connor ordered, Matt motioned to me but I shook my head."Get up! Move!"

The two of them get up and Matt takes April by the shoulders, Matt looks like he doesn't want to leave me like this but it's absolutely nothing he can do for me.

"Don't even think about any other exits either, I got every door rigged." Connor said. Matt and April shuffled out the room, I held my breath as Connor crept closer and closer to me.

"I'm not a vampire."

"No, you aren't." Connor mused walking around me as if he was stalking me. I was chained up and had nothing else I could do but look unfazed." But you are very important."

"I'm the main character of course I am." I scoffed, I held my arms out for him to unlock them."Let me out."

"No, I don't know how witches work yet so you're going to stay chained up." Connor replied, I sighed and nodded.

"What's your motivation here, Connor?" I asked I was actually curious. Did he think all the vampires in town would just come running in here and get slaughtered. My friends were idiots but even they had more of a sense of self-preservation than that.

"The normal vampires, they'll come running for them. But you, the originals will come for you." Connor replies, I tilted my head curious how he planned to kill an Original.

"And how do you intend to kill Rebekah, or Kol? I'd love to hear how you'll kill Klaus, that one is kinda tricky."

"Oh no. Because I know they'll come for you, I promised them no harm would come to you as long as they stay away."

"Fuck that's smart." I mumbled putting my head down."I would be intimidated if you didn't tell your mother and girlfriend your life story."

"Bullshit." Connor said, I didn't bother to put my head back up. The sound of retreating footsteps told me everything I needed to know.

"Rita? Pretty old lady stunning grey hair.. yeah Kol killed her." I replied carelessly. I take it Connor didn't care enough to check in with them."Snapped her neck it was crazy."

"I should kill you." Connor growled, I shrugged the ringing in my head finally stopped and I happily used the opportunity to explode my handcuffs off.

"You could try, but I'm magical." I spun around and stood up facing Connor. I heard aloud bang go off just as I was tackled to the ground. Jeremy scrambles and pulls both of us to our feet. Connor takes his gun and strolls over to the Hybrid shoots him right through the heart.

I winced as his body hits the floor with a sickening thud. I watch in confusion as Connor takes off his shirt and stares at his arm.

"The hell is he doing?"

"His mark grew." Jeremy explained, I raised an eyebrow. Without warning Connor shoves Jeremy to the floor and grabs me, holding me in front of him as a human shield. Jeremy's laying on the floor while Stefan is standing in front of us. Connor fires again but Stefan gets out the way easily.

"You don't have to do this." Stefan pleaded, I don't know why they all chose to take such patient routes with people.

"Stefan." Jeremy whispered, Stefan looked from Jeremy on the ground back to me. Connor kept his gun trained on the vampire.

"We can end this, just put the gun down and come with me." Stefan said, I rolled my eyes. Connor doesn't give a damn about ending anything but Vampires that's it.

"Sure come on, I'll hand the gun over." Connor says, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You know I had fun killing Daisy, Rose or Sunshine whatever her name was." I commented, Connor tightened his hold on my neck. I really wasn't in the mood to pretend be damsel in distress long enough for Stefan to talk him down.

"Her name is Ava."

"Bitch was smart, did she learn that wooden knife trick from you? I kept it as a souvenir." I commented nonchalantly, Connor applied more force to my neck almost as if he was trying to put me to sleep.

"Please don't hurt her!" Elena rushed in screaming. I rolled my eyes. Stefan & I definitely had the situation under control and she was definitely about to Fuck it up. Maybe Damon was right.

"Modus." I muttered flinging Connor backwards, the force of the spell caused him to shoot Jeremy in the side. I didn't realize until just now he's thrown Jeremy onto a pressure trap.

Smart guy.

Elena went for Connor while Stefan grabbed Jeremy and moved him somewhere safe. When he did that the bomb went off and I had to dive under a few tables for cover.

When I popped my head back up, Stefan & Connor were gone. Elena rushed over to tend to Jeremy. I used my magic to follow Stefan. He'd headed out through the kitchen and into some freaky tunnel. I climbed down and ran following behind him.

I skidded to a stop when Damon & Stefan were in front of me fighting.

"Uh? Hello?" I said confused. Damon had his wrist in Stefan's chest, I knew he wouldn't kill him but it was still weird to see.

"Go after the Hunter he went that way." Damon ordered he motioned with his head and I nodded taking off in the direction Connor went off into. I smiled evilly when I spotted his shiney head in the distance, I used my magic to trip him and stalked up to him.

"We didn't get to finish our chat." I leaned down and stared at him." Why would you leave your mom and girlfriend all alone with no protection against vampires? Hell why'd you leave Vegas? The place was crawling with them."

"They were skilled hunters in their own right." Connor replied shaking his head. He pushed himself to his feet and glared at me."Why did you do it? They wouldn't have even considered hurting you."

"Well Rita shot Kol in the stomach with a shotgun, I'm pretty sure the bullets were meant for me." I replied cleaning my nails."And then Ava used her tiny wooden knife and staked Kol. So you see why."

"That's my girl." Connor chuckled.

"And that's what Kol said when I snapped her neck, so we're gonna go back to Klaus' where you'll be safe and get to kill as many vampires as you desire."

I wasn't surprised when Connor chose that exact moment to fight me. And boy did I underestimate him. I was a fighter but I was nowhere near good enough to hold my own against a supernatural.

Connor sent a barrage of punches my way, the only thing I could do was duck them. I knew I didn't have the strength to actually hurt him nor did I want to use my magic and accidentally kill him.

"Oh come on fight me." Connor taunted, I went to back away but hit a wall. Connor reared back his fist to punch me but I kicked him in his balls at the last second.

Elena came out of nowhere and snatched Connor away from me she tore into his neck before I could even react.

"Elena stop!" I screamed she let Connor go and he fell down to his knees." You can't kill him."

"Stay the hell away from my brother." Elena hissed, I moved to pull her away from Connor but of course he couldn't resist baiting her.

"Look at you so worried about your brother. When your the biggest monster I ever met." Connor smirked, I closed the gap between us in two seconds and grabbed Elena's arm. She looked away from Connor to me, her eyes seemed hopeful.

"Go, I'll deal with him."

"Okay." Elena nodded she started to leave but let out a pained groan instead. I let go of her arm and jumped surprised Connor had managed to stake her. She pulled it out of her chest and her eyes went murderous."You missed."

"Elena no!" I yelled out but the brunette snapped his neck and let his body fall the rest of the way to the floor in a heap.

"Fuck fuck fuck!" I hissed kneeling beside Connor, I checked him for a pulse knowing there wouldn't be one.

"Oh my god." Elena cried out. She crumpled to her knees beside me crying."I killed him."

"We'll get rid of the body it's fine." I promised. I held my hand out for her to take and she did. She pulled herself up to her feet, she was still crying when she scooped Connor up from the floor and tossed his body over her shoulders.

We walked in silence it was mostly for my benefit I was scared to say anything to her and she burst into tears or something. We came out of the tunnels in the woods, we walked a bit further before Elena tossed Connors body on the ground in the middle of a clearing.

She was clearly just going through the motions, she didn't even bother to clean his blood from her face. Wordlessly she flashed off, I scoffed as I used my magic to get to work digging the hole. Leave it to Elena to ditch me on body duty.

I had a decent sized hole dug when Elena came back carrying two shovels. I truthfully didn't want to get in the hole and dig but if it would help her I'll do it.

"Elena." I said, the brunette paused and turned around. She had unshed tears in her eyes."It's okay."

"But Alicia I killed someone." She whispered lowly, she turned back around and went back to digging.

"I've killed a few people. It gets easier, trust me." I said, it was a piss poor way to try and console somebody but knowing Elena it would do the exact opposite which was what she needed. A distraction.

"You know you confuse me." Elena said never looking up from her hole."You are just as all over the place as I am right now and I died."

"Self-preservation." I shrugged shaking my head."I want to live, nobody has tried to kill me in awhile because I'm smart."

"You almost died today!" Elena snapped irritated, if I could piss her off enough she wouldn't be worried about Connor anytime soon. Or at least I hoped.

"I wasn't in danger, he made a deal with Klaus that no harm would come to me as long as they stayed away." I shrugged, Elena stared at me hard she shook her head and dropped her shovel. Oh boy here it comes.

"Why are you so special to them? They've ruined my life and you get treated so damn good ." Elena hissed.

"You ruined my life before we even met them Elena." I hissed back, she flinched momentarily but recovered."I don't have a mom because of you. Remember that? I'm special because of my sense of self-preservation, my protectiveness, my usefulness. Who wouldn't want a bad ass witch on their side?"

"Please, you probably screwed them all and Damon too." Elena replied, I snorted because as much as it was every girls dream to be in an Original gangbang it was not mine.

"No, but I did Damon." I swiftly lied, it would get her blood boiling and she'd probably try and kill me. But anger is better than sorrow or atleast I thought so.

"You're disgusting."

"You're a bitch."

"Hey." Stefan's soft voice cut in, Elena and I were arguing so loud I didn't notice he and Damon had joined us.

"You come with me." Damon said. He wasn't really asking me since he grabbed my arm and pulled me out the hole and then a good distance from Elena."Why would you lie to her like that?"

"If she feels angry then she won't feel depressed about Connor." I replied with a shrug. Damon's face softened a bit."It worked she isn't crying anymore."

"Yeah, but now she's telling Stefan how much she wants to hurt you."

"And that's probably music to your ears because she's jealous." I replied turning on my heel, I paused and looked over my shoulder."Do you mind taking me back to the grill to get my car and phone?"

"Yeah, let's go." Damon took hold of my arm again and ran me all the way to the grill. I stumbled dizzy for a moment as we came to a stop.

"God I hate that."

"It could be worse." Damon shrugged."I'm gonna go and check on Elena call if you need anything."

"Do not let her out of your sight."

"I won't."

I slipped into the back of the grill, my keys and phone were in my pocket when I arrived but I hadn't saw either of them after Connor knocked me out. I slid behind the bar and picked up the phone, swiftly dialing my cell phone number.

I sighed in relief when my phone rang from under the counter. I put the phone back down and grab my cellphone and keys, I snuck back outside and climbed into my car.

I scrolled through my messages and sighed, I had missed calls from Kol, a few texts from Caroline and one from Bonnie. I drove home and grabbed Rudy before driving over to Klaus' I'm pretty sure he wasn't back yet so Kol should be the only one there at the moment.

Don't get me wrong I was still pissed off but I was still avoiding Bonnie and the first place she'd look for me would be Gramm's house.

I let myself into the house and took Rudy's leash off, the dog bolted straight up the stairs so I followed him. He ran straight up to Kol's door and barked.

"I'm about to be so irritated right now." I mumbled pushing the door open, I gritted my teeth as I took in the sight of several dead girls all in varying levels of undress.

I couldn't be mad, I'm not his girlfriend.

I whistled and Rudy ran back over to me, I shook my head as I reattached his leash. My eyes blurred with unshed tears as I stormed down the steps. For a moment I wondered if it was my fault maybe I overstepped with my anger earlier in the day. But then I remembered, I was being held hostage and he knew about it and really did nothing.

No reason to be upset over someone who really didn't care.

I pushed the front door open and stopped in my tracks at the sight of Kol on the other side of the door, Rudy immediately ran up to him and started wagging his tail jumping all over him.

"Darling."

"Fuck you." I hissed I went to step around him but Kol moved to block me.

"You're okay." He stared me up and down as if he was looking to see if I'd gotten hurt.

"Of course I am." I went to walk around him again but he still blocked my path."What do you want from me?"

"I was worried about you all day, I had to rely on Stefan Salvatore to make sure you were okay." Kol scoffed."Nik would put me in a box if I interfered."

"Maybe you should've. Elena killed Connor."

"Well that isn't my problem." Kol shrugged, I gave up trying to walk outside and just backed up. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him, he took Rudy's leash back off and the dog took off into the house.

"She's my frienemy." I retorted." I do happen to care about her well-being, I'm just here to wait for Klaus so we can figure out what to do. Stefan won't call him."

"Are you done with the unpleasant attitude love? You're reminding me of Bekah."

"Where is she by the way? I haven't heard from her since last night."

"In a box somewhere." Kol shrugged."We'll wake her up soon, Nik just wanted her out the way while he retrieved the sword. Speaking of sisters, where's yours? I tried calling her."

"One day at Dave & Busters and you're calling each other now?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."That's pretty strange."

"I wanted her to help you, but I couldn't get a hold of her."

"She's at Whitmore with professor creepy." I replied briefly looking at the text message she'd sent hours ago."I should probably call her to make sure he didn't kill her."

"Why would she be dead?"

"Some dude who claims to know about magic. He creeped me and Damon out." I explained, I rolled my eyes when Kol gave me that dark look again. I didn't need it to be a constant thing with Damon." But let's not talk about that right now. Let's talk about the dead naked women upstairs."

"I may have went a bit overboard."

"More than a bit." I scoffed shaking my head."You look like you wanna go feral when I mention Damon yet you probably fucked and killed 6 people today alone?"

"I didn't fuck them, little witch." Kol said, I snorted not buying it."I just killed them, there's a difference."

"Right. I'm gonna go to bed. You should probably clean your room." I shook my head and headed upstairs. I was extremely pissed off and did not need that right now. Elena actually did manage to get to me and Kol's antics were the icing on the cake.

I didn't think it was humanly possible for this day to get any goddamn worse than what it already was.
