My Light

14

I jumped out of my sleep at a loud smashing sound. Bonnie was still asleep next to me. I sighed. I looked around the room. Stef and Care was still asleep on the mattress we dragged in her before we all crashed for the night. Elena was asleep beside Bonnie. I looked for Damon. He was missing off the bench. 

I quietly got out of bed and crept downstairs. "I told you to stay away from her Wolf boy." I hear Damon say he was pissed. I ran up the stairs. "She's here then." Tyler said. I ran into my room and slammed the door shut it woke everyone up but I didn't care. I breathed in deeply holding my chest. "What's up." "Tylers downstairs... Damon's gonna...Kill him." I struggled out. Stefan moved me out of the way. "Stay in here." He warns us four. Elena pulled me in for a hug. "They'll sort it." "Damon's going to kill someone." I said processing it. "Oh my gosh Damon's going to kill someone." I jumped up again making my way down the stairs.

"Damon no!" I say firmly his hand was in Tylres chest. "No. Don't" "I told you if he comes here-" He cut himself off. I just kept shaking my head. "Please." I managed out he pulled his hand out it was covered in blood but no heart was in it. Tyler gasped for a breath. "Stay the hell away from her! Don't speak about her, or to her. Don't look at her, don't even think about her!" Damon said in his face. He was angry. "Get out her Damn house!" He shouted. I was stood on the stairs and he walked passed me and for a second I thought he was going to just leave. I thought it was over but he jumped on me. Hands around ym throat. "I came to finish the job my family should have done." Tyler said. I was crawling at his hands and kicking. Stefan was pulling at him. Care was shouting for him to get off. He was going to strangle me. I'd wake up It would be okay. I accepted what was going to happen. And then his body fell limp onto of me and a warm liquid spilled over my pJ's. 

I looked up and Elena was there with his heart in her hands. "He was hurting you." She said panicked. "It's okay Elena." I was still under the now dead body. his internal fluid all over me. I rest my head back on the step and just laid there. "I killed Tyler. I killed Tyler." Elena was panicking and they were trying to calm her down. I didn't move and inch. I should have died with my family. Was all I was thinking. 

The body was thrown off me and it rolled down the rest of the steps. I still laid still as if the body was still there. I was sat up slowly. Elena was still crying. "WILL YOU SHUT UP A MINUTE!" I snapped. Her cries just kept echoing in ym head and I couldn't think straight. The room fell silent. 

"We need to get rid of the body... then we need to come up with a story. We need to clean the blood up and-"Care kept going on. "Shut up." I said "Shut up." I repeated. Alls that was running through my head right now was Rose's body threaded to pieces and her screams and cries for help. Elena's cries reminded me of it. The blood all over me reminded me of it. I couldn't think. They needed to shut up a second.

"Thank you." I say run my hands through my hair. "Okay." I stood up and dragged the body through to the downstairs bathroom. and threw it in the bath. 

"What are you doing?" Bonnie asked, the comosion resumed back out in the hall. "Getting rid of the body." I say simply. "You can't just get rid of a body." "Want a bet?" I asked as I went through my cabinet finding the right salts and herbs and chemicals to do the ritual with. I filled the tub up and poured everything in. I said a short prayer. And then the body began burning dissolving the fumes were strong and Bonnie coughed. I handed her a towel to cover her mouth and nose. She wanted in disbelief. 

"We've been throwing bodies in the woods all this time and we could have just do this?" Damon said coming in. "Wow it's strong in here." He said smelling it. "What happens when you burn the body." I say flatly. Bonnie leaves shortly after and Damons arms wrapped around ver my shoulders crossing my front, his front flushed to my back. He kissed ym neck, not in a sexual way more of a comforting gesture. "Go get changed, shower... I'll take care of it." I didn't respond. I didn't want to be alone. I didn't want to go upstairs, what if someone he knew was waiting. "Arabella." He tried but I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I held his hand instead. "I'm here." He told me resting his head on my shoulder. He got the sign. "We'll get you all clean up once this is done okay." I nodded.
