THANK YOU! A lot more people liked this story than I thought they would! It motivated me to get this chapter done and out a lot quicker than I thought I would! Again thank you to anyone that followed and favorited and a special thank you to anyone that reviewed! It genuinely made my day to see people liking the story!
Onto what's going on in this chapter. We'll see Lissa actually interact with some of the other Mystic Falls characters. You'll also see that she's not really as caring as she seems and her temper makes an appearance. We'll also get a glimpse of how she's seen by some other characters.
I'm excited to get this one out as it's a real look on how the story is going to go. Of course there's gonna be changes and twists coming soon, but just like Lissa I'm wanting to stay on track as much as possible to a certain point then the train is going to go off the tracks.
Let me know how you feel about this chapter! If you have any suggestions on the story I'd love to hear it! Also while I know Lissa's end game partner, I'm wondering who you guys think it will be and what other characters you think she would be friends with?
Previously on "Ghost of Lifetimes Past"
Lissa made her way to the office. There weren't many people around since it was so early in the morning. But as she stepped into the office she was hit with a shock because standing right in front of her was Stefan Salvatore.
And he was staring at her as if she was a real ghost come to life.
Lissa knew she was going to be seeing the young vampire today but never expected to see him this early. She was thinking lunch or even maybe she'd be in the same history class like all the other characters, running into him in the office was never the plan.
He looked exactly like Paul Wesley, though quite a bit younger than the actor was when he first played Stefan. It makes sense since Stefan had actually been changed at 18 years old.
Luckily, she was able to ignore her shock and shot a scowl at Stefan, who was still just staring at her wide eyed. "What? Never seen anyone with albinism before?"
At her words Stefan seemed to realize he was being rude/creepy. "No! You just- You look like someone I know." He said, hand raising up to rub the back of his neck. She was certain if he could, he would be blushing.
She just raised an eyebrow. Even though she knew that really was the reason he was why he was staring, that was just a weak excuse. "Well, I have a twin sister that looks just like me. Though she actually has color to her."
He shook his head. "No. The person I'm thinking of couldn't possibly be your sister. She's dead."
Oh damn, he was actually being sincere with her. She wasn't really expecting that going into this interaction. She was expecting him to skirt around anything to do with Katherine.
"Ms. Gilbert?" Came a voice from the office next to the two "teenagers". Mrs. Carter, the school advisor and counselor, stood in the office doorway glancing between them both. She could probably feel the awkward tension that still hadn't dissipated."Can you come into the office? We can go over your schedule and what classes you'll need to take to graduate early."
"Yeah, sure Mrs. Carter." She looked back over to Stefan. "Nice meeting you, uhh, Dude." First day living an actual episode and she almost blew her cover already. Stefan hadn't introduced himself and she almost called him by name. Way to go, Gilbert.
"Oh it's Stefan. Stefan Salvatore."
"Nice meeting you, Stefan."
Her meeting with Mrs. Carter did in fact last insanely long. Not many people try to graduate early in Mystic Falls so her actually going through with the extra work to do it has left people reeling. She was seen as the "troubled Gilbert kid" even with Jeremy hanging out with the crowd he was currently. To be fair even she would classify herself as the "troubled Gilbert kid" so she wasn't really offended by it.
The rest of the morning went quickly and without a glimpse of anyone she was particularly close with. Most of them were taking different classes so she'd really only see them when she went to lunch. It seemed even Stefan wasn't taking advanced classes, which was a bummer. She was really wanting to mess with the teenage vampire; see if she could cause him to crack and show his vamp face. Oh well, she was going to be seeing a lot of the dude, she could try it another day.
After hearing the bell, she made her way towards the cafeteria. She was pretty certain Caroline or at least someone she knew would be there. She hoped so, because the last time she ate lunch alone some dude tried to hit on her. She didn't want her good day ruined by horny teenagers. To her the idea of sleeping with any of her classmates gave her such a creep vibe. She was mentally old enough to be their grandma. It was weird. She was doomed to either be single for the rest of her life or find a vampire partner. At least a vampire partner she didn't have to worry about being older than them mentally.
"Lissa!"
Looking behind her at the shout, Lissa blinked at the sight of Matt Donovan making his way over to her with Tyler. A Tyler that clearly wanted to be anywhere but near her. He, understandably since she broke his nuts, hated her with a burning passion. It was the main reason she didn't hang out with Vicki anymore. Tyler had made the girl choose between him and her friend, Vicki chose Tyler.
"Hey, Matt. What's up? I'm not normally the Gilbert you talk to."
"That's for a good reason, Psycho." Tyler snarled next to his best friend.
She rolled her eyes, used to the name calling at this point. "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I was talking to you, No Nuts"
Before anything could happen, Matt stepped between the two enemies and leveled Tyler with a look. Rolling his eyes, the hot headed boy stalked across the cafeteria to where he could see his friends were standing.
"You know, not antagonizing him may help?" He said.
"I don't think that would really matter in the long run. After everything that's happened between the two of us, I doubt anything could help." She shrugged. "But that's not what you wanted to talk to me about."
"I just wanted to ask if Elena had said anything about us? Like did she mention getting back together or anything like that?"
Lissa resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the hurt puppy look the blonde haired boy was sporting. "Are you really asking if my sister thought about her relationship status as we all grieved our dead parents? Really, Matt? No. She did not say anything about you to me."
"Oh, um, well I just wanted to ask." He said scratching the back of his head, "I mean I get it. She was grieving. But could you let me know if she says anything to you?"
She shook her head and gave him a pitying look. "Matt, I'll be honest with you. Not because I like you, but because you've always been a genuinely nice dude. It's not going to happen. She's not even thinking about getting back together."
Before he could reply Lissa felt an arm wrap itself around her waist and it was only her recognizing the perfume as Caroline's that stopped her from flipping the person over her shoulder.
"What's this? Matt, you don't normally talk to Lissa. You trying to move on to a different Gilbert?" Caroline teased her fellow blonde.
"It's not any of your business, Caroline."
Already angry about her blunt words, Matt turned around and walked away without another word.
Caroline let out a low whistle. "Nice to know I still say all the wrong things."
"Would life be interesting otherwise?" She said. "I mean, look at me. I never say what society wants me to but you still like me."
"I guess you're right. Now come on, we need to find a table and I can show you all the new clothes I got for school." She pulled her towards a random table away from the hustle and bustle in the middle of the room. "I was even nice enough to take pictures in all the clothes so you can see what they look like on me."
"Oh joy, just what I wanted to do during lunch."
After lunch the rest of the day passed without any sighting of their new resident vampire nor her sister or friends. With a new worry of how she's supposed to deal with vampire drama and all the classes she was taking, Lissa had driven Caroline to her house. After Caroline nagged her enough, she decided to hang out with her before they met up with Elena and Bonnie at the Grill. It was a new thing for her, being included in the Grill hangouts. This was normally something the three other girls did but with her being closer with Elena now, they'd decided to include her in the invite.
Now here she was sitting at The Grill, listening to Caroline go on about Stefan.
"So his name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with uncle at the old Salvatore Boarding House. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue."
Bonnie laughed. "You got all that in one day?"
"Please, I got all that between the third and fourth period. I could have gotten more but I didn't want to make any more people at school scared of me." Caroline admitted. She was right though. Most of the people at school know to fear Care's intensity and that if they upset her, they upset Lissa. No one wanted Lissa upset at them. She was the school's boogie man, or woman. The last person that had upset Caroline still couldn't look at her without flinching. She wasn't sure why exactly all she'd done was break his nose. He got off easy for spreading the rumor that Caroline had slept with him.
"If we're giving out information I have some. Dude clearly has done some grieving. Don't know how recent but when I met him he mentioned I looked like someone he knew that died." She said. It wasn't really a secret either. Stefan mentions something like this tonight when him and Elena get here.
Caroline leaned forward closer to the pale girl. "What! Why didn't you mention this before we got here? This is juicy! I wonder who it was he lost? A girlfriend? Ooh maybe he needs some nice old rebound sex?"
Before the three girls could continue their conversation they all noticed the couple come in the doors and were making their way to them.
"What. The. Fuck?" Caroline said.
"Yeah. Exactly" Bonnie was clearly just as shocked as the blonde girl.
Lissa laughed, "Well, seems that yeah, he may be looking for that nice old rebound sex."
Even as Caroline reached over and smacked her arm she kept laughing. The shock the two girls had at the sight of Stefan walking in with Elena was better after knowing them since childhood.
"Hey guys, I hope you don't mind. I invited Stefan here to join us." Elena said.
Before any of them could reply Matt and his clear jealousy seemed to descend on the table. Taking the seat beside Lissa in the booth, blocking her in which everyone knew she hated, he immediately started talking.
"Hey, you're Stefan right? I'm Matt Donovan."
Stefan smiled. While the rest of the table probably thought it was just to be nice to the clearly jealous boy, Lissa could see the faint amusement he seemed to get. Probably the thought of an untrained human being threatening to him as a vampire seemed funny.
"Hey, nice to meet you."
Ignoring Matt and his obvious jealousy they all joined together to interrogate the poor newbie.
"So, you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked. That was something Lissa never understood, she'd already said he told her he used to live in Mystic Falls. Why did she feel the need to ask that question again?
"Mm-Hmm. And moved when I was still young."
"And your Parents?" Bonnie leaned in, just as excited as the rest of the teenagers at the chance to question the new boy.
"My parents passed away."
"I'm sorry. My sister and I understand that grief. Do you have any siblings?" Elena gave him a sympathetic smile. If anyone understood the pain of that it would be the two orphans Lissa supposed.
"None that I talk to. I live with my uncle."
Wait, none that he talked to? Ooh maybe she could get him to talk about Damon. "None that you talked to? So you have some you don't talk to?"
Stefan grimaced. He was hoping no one caught that but he hadn't wanted to lie to the two girls with Katherine's face. "Yeah. Damon. We don't have the best relationship."
"Hmm, Damon. Sounds like a dickhead name." She said. "I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that may be why you aren't on speaking terms?" Well that and the fact you forced him to turn, force fed him your father, and have been an overall judgmental dick to the dude.
He let out an uncomfortable chuckle. "You're not exactly wrong about that."
"Ignoring Lissa's attempt to make Stefan uncomfortable, Stefan, you don't know about the party this weekend, right?"
"Yeah! It's a back to school thing at the falls. Everyone goes. Even Lissa makes it out there and she never goes to these types of parties." Bonnie said.
Stefan turned to Elena, the one person he was most interested in. "Are you going?"
Lissa jumped in before Elena could even contemplate her answer. "Yes, she's going. If I'm being forced to socialize by Caroline. Elena can make it to a party she looks forward to every year."
Elena shot a glare at her sister. She hated it when she answered for her. "She's right. I'll be there."
The rest of the night continued as you'd expect. Matt slunk away after being pushed to the floor when Lissa got tired of being boxed in. Jeremy joined his sisters for a minute before heading away to get high or something of that nature. And Caroline talked her best friend into having a sleepover so they could watch the new horror movie she'd rented.
The next few days passed quickly. Lissa didn't really do much besides try and get ahead of her homework while she had the extra time. Though she did take some extra time to call Enzo and tell him about there being a new vampire in Mystic Falls. He'd been a bit worried but she'd talked him out of making the trip back. He was currently in the Caribbean trying to enjoy his freedom, there wasn't any reason to cut the trip shorter than it was going to be. She knew once she met Damon she was going to be obligated as his friend to tell Enzo. There wasn't anyway he wouldn't make the trip down once he got that news.
Other than the phone call, Lissa had looked around on craigslist to try and find any listings by Slater. She knew he would be key in getting a hold of one of the Originals. Personally, she wanted to talk to Klaus before Elijah but that may just be because he was her second favorite out of all the Original Vampires. Sadly, so far she hadn't found anything. She did send an email to Jason asking him if he knew anyone that could get her in touch with Klaus. He'd emailed her back saying she was straight up insane wanting to talk to "That monster" but he'd keep an eye out. Jason was and always would be her favorite person she'd met that had nothing to do with her former life's TV shows.
Truthfully she didn't really have much of a plan when dealing with that family other than trying to get on Klaus' and any of his siblings' good side. She wasn't dumb enough to antagonize a dude that wouldn't hesitate to kill her and anyone she at ever talked to before.
Before even dealing with Klaus she'd have to make it through keeping Vicki from being attacked by Damon.
Grabbing the outfit she picked for the party, a black and white pleated skirt, a long sleeved mesh shirt, her normal platform boots, and to have a place to hide a stake she grabbed her black and white messenger bag, she quickly made her way to the scene of the party. Unsurprisingly, it was already in full swing. Weaving between drunk teenagers and couples that should really find some private places, Lissa finally found Caroline and Bonnie. Both girls were holding a red solo cup but Caroline was the only one swaying back and forth, clearly the more drunk of the two.
"There you two are! I swear if I see one more dude with his hand down some girls pants out in the open I'm going to lose it. This is the very reason I don't come to these things. If I wanted to watch porn, I'd do it at home in bed." She started to rant as she came up to them.
Before she could continue though, Caroline threw her arms around her, drink splashing her back, sobbing about being messy, and no one liking her, and how she scared everyone away because she said all the wrong things and was interested in weird stuff.
"She's probably had a bit too much. I lost track of her for an hour and found her already like this." Bonnie said, a sheepish expression on her face. Bonnie wasn't nearly as close to Elena's sister as Caroline was but even she knew that out of all of them Lissa was the most responsible. So if anyone could deal with a drunk Caroline it was her. She had heard enough rants from Elena about how 'even though Lissa is seen as a troubled teenager, everyone still says she's the responsible Gilbert.' Bonnie knew it wasn't without reason that people, especially other people their age, saw Lissa as the responsible one. Everyone knew that she'd taken care of at least 60% of the high school population when they'd gotten drunk by either driving them home herself or making sure they had a ride.
Of course, since she had grown up around the other girl being Elena's best friend, she knew that she could also be incredibly cold and mean. She was there that day when she attacked Tyler and the look on the pale girl's face still scared her whenever she remembered it. Tyler screaming in pain, blood seeping from his crotch underneath her heel, and Lissa just stood there face blank before she leaned down and whispered something in the boy's ear. No one knew what she said to this day, but Tyler hadn't even looked her in the eye for 3 years after that. He'd only just started snarking back towards her this year after getting into steroids.
Watching as that same girl let sticky alcohol be spilled down her back and just laugh about it, really made her wonder about how her mind worked. Lissa was full of contradictions and Bonnie was never really sure what to feel about her.
Lissa furrowed her brow. Bonnie had been staring at her for a bit not really saying anything so, worried she was a bit more drunk than she seemed, she went to find some water for the two herself.
She hadn't even been looking for it for very long before she heard a shout that cut off real quickly. Feet taking her towards the sound before she could think. She walked up on something she'd been wanting to prevent. There was Vicki, her neck covered in blood, passed out on the grass without another person in sight.
"Vicki!" Rushing to the young girl's side, she dropped to her knees, not caring of the rocks that dug into her skin. "Hey, I need you to talk to me Vicki. Let me know you're not dead."
She wasn't sure if Vicki heard her or if she was just in pain, but Vicki let out a low moan allowing Lissa's heart to leave her throat. She didn't know how she'd timed this so wrong. She swore it was supposed to be later in the night, closer to when the party would be winding down.
It seemed like Damon had purposely missed her jugular but still made it as violent as he could. She looked around to find someone to call 911 since her hands were currently busy. Passing in the shadows of the woods, she could make out what looked to be her younger brother. He was the one to originally find Vicki, wasn't he?
"JEREMY!" She shouted trying to get her obviously drunk brother's attention. "Hey! Jer! Come help me!"
Jeremy jerked towards her voice. Even drunk, he felt a flash of fear for whatever made his sister shout, because his sister never shouted. It didn't matter if she was mad, she would just get a forceful tone but never really raised her voice. His eyes swiveled around before finally landing on his sister's pale hands covered in blood. Vicki's blood. That flash of fear from earlier grew until he felt his stomach clinch up.
"Oh my god!" Jeremy ran towards the two stopping when he was able to make out what exactly happened to the girl he was falling for. The gash on her neck looked as if something had torn a chunk from her throat. He noticed her shirt was ripped and wondered what had done that before taking in what Lissa had done to try and slow the bleeding.
"Jeremy, I know this is bad but I need you to grab my phone and call for an ambulance. Then go grab Matt, and only Matt. Vicki does not deserve to be gawked at as we wait for someone to get here."
He gaped down at her, shocked at how calm she seemed. Here she was covered in blood and she wasn't even phased, as if this was an everyday occurrence. "But, I-I can't just leave."
Lissa's eyes narrowed, annoyed that Jeremy just wasn't doing as he was told. This night had already gone wrong she was not about to completely change her knowledge by allowing Vicki to die. She didn't want to think about what could change if she croaked tonight instead of later. She didn't play the biggest part in the world but Lissa wasn't planning on changing a whole lot this early. She already knew making friends and freeing Enzo this early had thrown everything off but at least with Enzo, he would listen to her if she asked him to do something.
"Jeremy, now. Take my phone. Call 911. And go. Get. Matt" She said, grinding her teeth together. She knew she was being harsh, especially with her brother who was just in shock, but she couldn't wait for him to get over it. Vicki was bleeding out under her hands.
Eyes wide, Jeremy went to his sister's bag and grabbed her cell phone that was in the side pocket. After placing the call to 911, he ran off to find Matt.
As Lissa waited for either Matt and Jeremy to get back or the paramedics to arrive, she tried to listen to the woods to see if maybe she could catch a glimpse of Damon. She didn't particularly remember if he stuck around or not. She didn't want to be snuck up on and made into a second snack. Though the fact she looked like a colorless Katherine may stop him. It was too hard to predict, early Damon is pretty erratic so she didn't want to depend on knowing his actions to keep herself safe.
She didn't have to be on guard long, as just as she could see the flashing lights of an ambulance pull up, she saw Matt and Jeremy making their way back to her.
"Oh my god, Vicki! No, Vicki!" Matt yelled, voice cracking at the thought of his sister being dead.
"Matt. Matt! Look at me. She's not dead. Jeremy already called the paramedics. She'll be fine." If she could, she wanted to reach over to Matt and hug him or do something to ground him. The poor boy seemed completely lost staring between where her hands were and everywhere else on his sister's body, as if to make sure that the neck wound was her only wound. As the paramedics made their way to the clearing, they were followed by groups of teenagers wanting to find the poor sod they were there for. They probably thought it was just someone had gotten too drunk or someone did something stupid. The thought of a girl getting viciously attacked and could die didn't even cross their mind.
Gasps rang out through the crowd as they all took in the scene that was in front of them. Whispers broke out as everyone tried to guess what had happened. Had Lissa done this? Did she find Vicki like this? If she didn't do it, who did? Nothing was ruled out by the overactive imagination of teenagers. Lissa's own mystique just added to the speculation.
"Jeremy? Lissa? Matt? What's going on?" She could hear Elena ask from the crowd. Lissa didn't remember how Vicki was found the first time, but she thought it involved Elena. Well, seems like she'd accidentally stolen the show in this incident.
She shook her head trying to convey that they could talk later but it wasn't clear where her sister actually was in the crowd, so she wasn't sure if the message was received.
The paramedics got to Vicki quickly, and after conveying that she'd found her already bleeding so she didn't know how much blood was actually lost, Lissa handed Vicki off to them to put on the stretcher. She watched as they made their way back to the ambulance, Matt following right besides them all the way.
Once the gaggle of teenagers realized that there wasn't anything else going to happen they all seemed to disperse. All besides Elena who had made her way to her siblings leaving Stefan to make his own way home. Suspicions confirmed that there was another vampire in the area. He'd talk to the pale girl Monday and ask if she was okay then.
"Are you two okay? What happened?"
"I came when Lissa called my name. Vicki was already bleeding and passed out." Jeremy turned to his oldest sister, also wondering what happened exactly. "What did happen, Lis?"
Lissa bit the inside of her cheek, not really sure how she wanted to spin this whole thing. She had been wanting to stop Vicki getting attacked all together. Sighing, she settled on just being truthful. She hadn't really done anything to raise any questions, really. The only thing people would find strange was she was so far away from everyone when she was supposed to be finding Caroline and Bonnie water.
Her hand raised up to scratch her neck, not thinking about the blood she'd be leaving there, causing her siblings to grimace at the stark contrast of her skin tone and the bright red blood. "I was trying to find Care and Bonnie some water to sober them up. I'd heard a bit of a shout and went to see what it was. I just thought it would be some dumbass couple. I wasn't expecting to see Vicki all bloody on the ground."
Remembering the sight of Vicki all covered in blood, Jeremy let out a bit of a whine. Lissa knew about the two of them so, despite the height difference, he hugged her, face smashed in her shoulder seeking some sort of comfort. His sort of girlfriend had been attacked and he didn't know how she was doing. Plus he was still drunk.
Elena awkwardly stood watching her siblings. It was moments like this she was reminded about how close the two of them were. Her stomach bubbled with old familiar jealousy. She'd always wanted to be that close with her siblings. Lissa was her twin. Twins were supposed to be close, yet she was left behind as Lissa and Jeremy got closer and closer, leaving her to find her own connections.
"Jay, why don't you go with Elena? She can get you guys home. I need to go give Caroline and Bonnie a ride home, then I'm pretty sure I'll be expected to stop at the police station to give a statement. I'll be home when I can."
She loved her brother but after fucking up the first plan she had by being late of all things, she wanted to go find some scumbag rapist or something like that and just let loose. She could feel her anger at herself and her failure boiling under her skin and she didn't want to lose it around people she genuinely cared about.
Elena came up to pull Jeremy from her, arms wrapping around him as she did. "Go on, Lis. I got him. I'll leave a light on for when you get back."
Lissa gave her a stiff nod and walked off. She didn't care that it was obviously in the wrong directions, Elena would probably think she needed to be by herself for a minute.
It wasn't until she was far enough away, so far that she couldn't even see the lights from the party, did Lissa let out a scream. Anger poured out of her just as the sound of her angered scream tore through the night. She didn't even notice when she raised her right palm and fire flew from her palm towards the trees.
After about a minute of screaming, she finally ran out of steam. Panting, she opened her eyes and was relieved she hadn't set anything on fire. She didn't really have any water or anything to put it out and she didn't wanna add forest fire to her list of things she had to deal with tonight. She knew with Vicki being attacked she couldn't afford actually beating someone up so she'll have to settle for just screaming her anger out. It wasn't the most effective way for her to vent, but it worked for the time being.
With her anger sorted out for the time being, she actually started making her way towards where she'd left Caroline and Bonnie. The two girls were more sober than when she left them but obviously nervous by the way they kept glancing around.
"Lissa!" Caroline yelled as she saw her friend make her way from the forest. That was when she noticed the blood covering her. Gasping, she ran towards her and grabbed her bloody hands, uncaring if she got the red liquid on her. "What happened? We saw Vicki being wheeled out and they were saying you attacked her."
Bonnie quickly made her way to where Caroline had met up with Lissa. "Did you attack her? I mean you have a history of attacking people."
Caroline shot her a furious glare, she didn't care if Lissa really had attacked Vicki. If she had she would have had a reason, just like when she attacked Tyler.
Leveling a deadpan stare at the dark skinned girl, she ignored her brain telling her that Bonnie had clearly already lumped her into the same category she had put Damon into. "I was looking for your water and ended up finding Vicki. She was already bleeding when I found her. Thanks for asking, Bonnie. But it seems I'll be disappointing you there. I didn't attack Vicki."
She pulled her hands from Caroline's and linked their arms together, trying to steer her towards the cars. Bonnie could either follow or not, Lissa wasn't in the mood to be judged by anyone, not tonight.
Caroline stayed quiet as they walked, only looking back once to see if Bonnie was following them. She was. Feeling the shaking that Lissa was trying to hide, Caroline instinctively knew that it was from anger not anything else. Anger at what, she didn't know. But she did know that the other girl didn't talk about her anger. She was very much a 'hit something until it breaks and then hit it some more' to get your anger out type of person. Knowing this, Caroline just let the silence fill the air as they drove home.
They dropped Bonnie off first, and besides a thank you and a goodbye no words were spoken to the girl. Both of them were annoyed with her comment from earlier.
It wasn't until they'd made it to her house that they actually spoke. "You know, you can tell me about what made you angry tonight. You don't scare me."
"Yeah, I know. I wasn't worried about that. I just don't like the overwhelming feeling I get when I'm angry. It's daunting. Staying quiet lets me sort it out in my head before I do something I'd regret." Lissa smiled at the blonde girl. "It's nothing, though. Just the whole situation with Vicki. I don't like kids being hurt."
Caroline looked down at that. Vicki had just turned 18. The thought of her dying didn't seem real. So she could see how that would make the other girl angry. "Well, I better get in. Mom's probably already heard about Vicki and is more than likely going out of her mind in worry about where I am. Call me tomorrow? Let me know how you are?"
Lissa nodded and stayed where she was until she was certain Caroline was inside. Damon wasn't going to be sinking his claws into the blonde tonight or any night unless she expressly said 'yes'. Sorry, you leather clad bastard.
Caroline had clearly had her mom call the station and tell them she was on her way to give her statement, cause they had everything ready when she walked in. That meant she was able to get in and out of the place within 30-40 minutes. Seems she was going to be able to get to sleep before 2am after all.
The drive home was calm. No one in Mystic Falls was out at this time a night, at least no one that would be driving was. Lissa pulled up to her house and smiled at the light that was left on. She could even see Elena's head peak out from behind her curtains. She'd clearly been waiting up for her. Waving at her sister to let her know she could go to bed, Lissa made her way into the house and up to her room.
Her room was her sanctuary. She'd gotten the short end of the stick and was in the attic bedroom. Though she wasn't too mad as their attic was roomy and she had a giant window to let light in. Since there wasn't any overhead light, Lissa had used warm Christmas lights as her lighting. She'd strung them up around the walls and let them hang in a lazy chaotic way. She had a couple plants here and there and a big mirror in the corner. Band posters and other aesthetic type things hung on her walls.
She even had a shelf that had her old parasol on it. She was happy she'd grown out of having to use the thing. It was annoying to carry everywhere she went.
Not caring about where they landed, the pale girl stripped off the bloody clothes. She'd throw them in the trash tomorrow; they were beyond saving. She didn't put any pajamas on beyond an old t-shirt she'd stolen from her dad and proceeded to wipe her makeup off. It wasn't until she was ready to go to bed did she feel a chill run up her back.
Someone was watching her. Not even thinking about anything, Lissa walked to her window and looked down. There on the ground was the dark haired vampire himself. Damon Salvatore.
Instead of doing the normal thing and just closing her blinds and ignoring the man, Lissa did something different.
She grinned and threw up two middle fingers at the man. She wasn't ashamed of her body, if he wanted to watch he could. Plus she looked like a pasty white version of someone he'd already slept with. He knew what her body looked like.
Damon down on the ground blinked at the bold move the girl gave. He wasn't too sure what to feel about Melissa Gilbert. The girl did have Katherine's face but with her coloring and piercings it wasn't an overwhelming comparison like it was with her sister. He'd come here to scope out Elena, but when he noticed the other sister in her room, he couldn't help paying attention.
Taking the move as the challenge it was, Damon gave the girl a lazy salute and flashed away just as the albino girl dropped her blinds.
Please let me know what you think about the chapter! Thank you for reading!
