Poison Ivy

Chapter 8

Dear diary

Let's catch up shall we.

I'm cursed, well that's according to Ms Sheila Bennett. My eyes are the mark of a curse to be precise. She didn't sugar coat it. Honestly I'm freaked out but not to surprised, I mean with my luck.

Secondly Vampires. I touched her and got visions of vampires. She claims witches are real but I can't be sure about vamps. It would explain a lot of the 'animal attacks' happening lately. But that just means that I'm in danger, my family is in danger. What do I even do with this information...if I believe it. How I protect myself and my family?

Going off of the second point...Elena claims that Caroline had bite marks all over her body. These attacks started when the Salvatore's came back to town.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Coming up with theories about mystical creatures! For Gods sake I just need a normal day.

I stop writing. What if someone saw this entry, would they send me to an asylum? I thought being cursed would be the worst news I received.

Get out of bed, I walk out of me room to hear laughter from Jer's bedroom. I walk in and see Jeremy tickling Vicky. Great...I don't approve of their relationship but it's not my place. Jeremy is kind of unstable and I don't want to upset him.

"Well good morning to the both of you. Breakfast will be ready in 30." I say, surprised that they're up so early in the morning.

Breakfast is almost ready. "Morning Jenna, coffee is on the counter." I say to her. She thanks me and sit down with her newspaper.

"Jenna! Are you aware of what's going on upstairs?" Elena walks in. She just nods.

"And you have no objection?"

"He could be craftier about it, at least make an effort to sneak her in and out. Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner." She replies, looking very smug.

"Please tell me it's not to be with Scum bucket?" I say knowing I'm being judgy.

"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes."She looks in my direction. "And have you heard from Stefan?"

"Do we ever talk about anything other than boys?" I say irritated.

"You know what? Don't answer, breakfast is ready and I'm leaving. You're being too girly for my taste." I leave walking to school.

The day flies by while I ignore the entire population of Mystic Falls. Listening to music blasting in my ears.

Today is the sexy suds car wash. Elena, Bonnie and even Caroline all drag me with them.

They even force me to wear a bikini because apparently I'm helping. I decide to help Bonnie and Matt. While washing the car I see Matt looking in the direction of my twin. He looks like a lost puppy.

"Uh-uh, no. None of that tortured pining stuff." Bonnie comments. I couldn't have said it better myself.

"I'm just observing." He replies with a smirk on he's face.

I block out most of the day. In my own head about the curse and vampires. All I can do is hope that none of it is real or true.

Imagine being cursed in a town of vampires and witches. What's next, werewolves?

I come out of my trance the moment I start to smell fire. Marshmallow!?

Wait no. Where is that smell coming from. I look over the car and see Bonnie standing across from the car and there's a fire heading straight towards me. I run over to her but Stefan beats me to it. The moment he shakes her, she looks away from the fire and it goes out. Wow.

Not just that but she practically glowing with green energy right now. Stefan normal dark aura is dim compared to Bonnie's.

"Hey are you okay?" I ask her.

"Yeah-yeah. I gotta go. Bye." She replies and runs off.

I'm worried about Bonnie and look for Elena. I think she should know that her best friend is going through some shit right now. I find her talking to Jenna and Logan.

"Done. Wait. One condition. Dinner, tonight, your house." He asks the group. Jenna looks at me first.

"Fine. But you're eating leftovers unless Ivy decide to make dinner." At least she kinda asked me. I shrug not really caring about this conversation. I'm only here for Elena and Bonnie.

"Do you have access to old news stories, say, fifties? I have this report way past due. It'd be a life saver." Liar! What are you up to sister.

"Yeah, at the station. Between the archives and the Internet, we pretty much have everything. Heading there now. Let's go."

"Can I come with. I really need to talk to my sister." I say smiling. He really seems like a scum bucket. It's just a feeling that he has bad intentions. Like why does he want to have dinner at our house? It's a house filled with teenagers, why not at he's own house.

We leave to go to the station and I'm agitated because I couldn't speak to her the whole way here. Logan just keep talking about himself and trying to get back with Jenna. Gross.

The moment he leaves I give a loud sigh. "Finally. I've been meaning to talk to you about- wait what are we doing here?" I ask as she types an incident that happened at the boarding house during 1953.

"Something about Stefan isn't adding up." She says as we watching an old new report.

This is Franklin Fell reporting to you from the Salvatore Boarding House, where a brutal animal attack has ended in tragedy. Ok, they're bringing out the bodies. See if you can get closer. Is that the nephew?

As the camera zooms in, Elena and I see Stefan in the background.

"Elena? Elena!" She doesn't respond just continues to stare at the footage.

Dear diary,

I'm not a believer. People are born, they grow old, and then they die. That's the world we live in. There's no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There's nothing that defies rational thought.

If this is true...the I'm really cursed.

Unedited

I love rewatching the first season of TVD. It still baffles my mind that Damon was the villain season 1. And season 1 is so damn normal compared to the others.

Also I can't WAIT for Caroline to become a vampire. She became's such a badass when she dies.
