Chapter 5: You're Undead To Me
Anastasia, Caroline and Bonnie are sitting in Caroline's bedroom.
"I remember the party. Damon came up behind me, and he was kissing my neck, or biting my neck. I passed out. It's like there's holes in my memory lately. It's just weird. Maybe I let him bite me." Caroline says, looking at herself in the mirror.
"Why would you do that?" Bonnie says, while looking at a candle.
"Can we just not talk about it, ok? Don't want to talk about Damon. I don't want to talk about any of it. Just want to go back to normal. What are you doing with that candle Bonnie?" Caroline says, looking at Bonnie frustrated.
"Um...nothing. What's this?" Bonnie says, when she sees the crystal necklace.
"Damon gave it to me. Or he was going to give it to me. All I know is, it's mine now." Caroline says, while looking at it.
"It's ugly." Bonnie says.
"No, it's not. It's just weird looking" I say.
"Well, get your grubby hands off it Bonnie." Caroline says. "And what's up with that necklace that you're wearing Ana, I've never seen it before." Caroline says, looking at the necklace around my neck.
"Uhh, it's just something I found." I say, giving Bonnie a glare.
I walk out of class with Bonnie and Elena, we stand by some lockers. When Caroline comes over.
"The sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band. Just the ones who could pull off the bikini. I want, in your face, sexy. I mean, it's a fundraiser, for god's sake." Caroline says, and then walks away again.
"Unbelievable. It's like nothing happened." Elena says.
"She's in denial." Bonnie says.
"Yeah, you know Caroline. She acts like everything is alright, when in fact it's not. I'll talk to her later." I say.
"Hey." Stefan says, standing beside Elena.
"Hey. You know, We gotta go. Be somewhere right now." Bonnie says dragging me with her.
Bonnie and I walk out of the school, when Bonnie stops.
"What's wrong?" I say to her, looking a little worried.
"Nothing, I just gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow at the carwash" Bonnie says, walking away before I can say anything.
"Caroline" I say walking through her bedroom door. She is sitting in her bedroom texting to someone on her phone.
"Yes, Ana," Caroline says, not looking up from the phone.
"I think we should talk about the whole situation with Damon Salvatore" I say to her, while sitting on her bed.
"I don't want to talk about it anymore, I'v already said that." Caroline says, annoyed.
"What he did to you was wrong, and you need to talk to somebody about it." I say taking her phone and putting it on her nightstand.
"Ana, i'm fine, I just want to forget it all, okay" she says looking into my eyes.
"If that's what you want, but if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here." I say, giving her a comforting smile.
Caroline nods and gives me a hug. "You're the best sister I could ever want." She says, moving out of the hug.
It was the day of the carwash, Caroline begged me to be there and help, even though i'm not a cheerleader. So of course I said Yes. I picked a cute outfit, a purple bikini top with some denim shorts. It was hot outside, so a perfect day for a carwash.
"No friend discounts. No freebies. No pay ya laters. We are not running a charity here. No, we are not!" Caroline says, to the person responsible for the money.
"Relax Care " I say to her with a smile.
Stefan arrives walking over to Elena, who is standing beside me.
"Hi" Stefan says to us, with a smile.
"Hey" Elena and I say at the same time.
Caroline comes over looking mad. "The event is called sexy suds, you know." She says to Stefan and Elena, who is wearing too much clothes.
"You should probably take some clothes off before Care goes bonkers." I say to them and walk over to a car.
I see Elena walking over to me. "Do you know where Caroline is? we're out of towels."
"Uhh, no. But I can get some." I say, and walk through the school entrance.
I walk down a hallway to find a supply closet, when I suddenly hear a voice. 'Anastasia, Anastasia, help me.' I roll my eyes, Damon really needs to find an easier target, if he thinks I'm gonna help him, he is so wrong. Or not. I really need to speak to him about Ancestor Anastasia.
So here I am, outside the Salvatore Boarding House. I open the front door, and try to find a way down in the cellar. I don't remember where it was, so it took me a good five minutes to find it. And there he is, looking all weak in his own little cell.
"Anastasia, help me." Damon says to me, looking at the door to the cell.
"Before I do anything for you Damon, I need you to answer some questions for me." I say looking at him.
Damon looks at me shocked. Anyone else in this situation, would probably freak out about someone being locked up in a cellar.
"And what questions would that be?" Damon asks me, looking a little curious about what I'm about to say.
"Don't ask me how I know, but I know you're a vampire. And that you lived in the 1900 century. And that is why I wanna ask if you knew someone named Anastasia Forbes, who looks exactly like me, back when you were still human." I ask him.
Damon looks at me shocked, and a little relieved.
"Anastasia Forbes, yes I did know her." Damon says as he stands up. "We were betrothed, but Anastasia didn't want that, so she ran away, and I never saw her again. Until, a few weeks after she ran away, her body was found dead. I never knew how she died, but I did love her, with all my heart." Damon tells me.
"What about Kathrine?" I ask him.
"She was a distraction from the sorrow I felt. Imagine my shock when I first saw you at that bar. I thought you were her ghost." Damon says, walking to the cellar door.
"So, you loved her, she died." I ask him.
"Murdered, the sheriff said." Damon tells me.
"That's horrible." I say looking sad.
"Now you're gonna open the door." Damon tells me.
But just when I'm about too, Zach comes running down and tries to keep Damon in. "RUN!" Zack yells at me. And I did run for my life.
I ran up the stairs and out of the front door, thank god that Stefan took his daylight ring.
When I get home, I lock the door and run upstairs to my room. When night came I could hear something in the hallway, and I just prayed that it wasn't Damon. When I open my bedroom door I see a necklace laying in front of it. I take my hand up to where it was supposed to be around my neck, but it isn't there. 'I must have dropped it when I ran' I thought to myself, and picked it up from the floor and put it back on.
Chapter 5. Done. It was a little tricky with the storyline, I didn't really know where to go with it, but this is what I ended up with. Hope you liked it.
