Alora Branson- Kol Mikaelson

1| The Beginning

     I opened my eyes to be blinded by light, it was bright and sunny now no longer night. I looked around loving how the sunshine felt, the comfort in the warmth. "Kol?" I called out, i turned seeing someone in the distance. She stood leaning on a tree staring into the distance, i furrowed my eyebrows as i slowly walked forward.

     "Lexi?" i whispered, she turned around slowly smiling brightly. I laughed running to her, i had forgotten how much comfort her hugs brought. "Lori? What happened why are you here" she asked when she realized i was actually here. "No your not supposed to be here yet" i held her hand watching her in amazement, "Lexi it's okay i want to be here" i said smiling.

     "No Lori you can't be here yet, Lori i need you to wake up" I looked at her confused "what no" i whispered. "Lori, wake up!"

   My eyes flew open, i tried to breath but was met with dirty water. I screamed pushing myself up trying to swim out of here, i pushed myself trying to get out as i felt my body begging for air. When i finally broke surface i gasped finally breathing, my chest burned as my breathing slowly began to calm down.

   I suddenly became aware of all my surroundings, i looked around frantically. Even though it was still pitch black i could see everything, i could hear and smell everything. I swam back to shore before heading back to the car, all my clothes were wet but i wasn't cold. I still felt the pounding sensation and felt motion sickness coming on, she walked to the back of the car opening the trunk.

   I pulled out my bag only sparring a glance to Kol's suitcase, i opened it immediately feeling blinded by the whites reflecting the light. I groaned turning and opening Kol's suitcase, i took out a shirt and one of his jackets. I slipped off my shirt and neck before changing, i threw the case back into the car before getting in. I couldn't remember anything after i closed my eyes, all i knew was that i'm awake and i don't know why.

I got into the car feeling dizzy, my headache grew worse as my body began to ache. I turned on the ignition before flooring it, my breathing was still heavy and i felt a panic attack coming.

-

   I groaned when the car came to a stop, i don't know how far i made it. I stumbled out of the car as i felt the wind pick up, my breathing was speeding up as i lost focus of what was around me. I felt fear prickle into my mind as i stumbled down the busy road, i looked around seeing people chatting and laughing. I whiffed the air as i smelled something salty and metallic, i looked around feeling suddenly hungry.

   I ran into a dark alley way trying to get away from the smell, i cowered back into a corner as i shook with fear. I tried to calm down but i didn't even know what was happening, ive had panic attacks before but never this bad. I really wished Kol were here, he'd know what to do and say, he'd help me get through this.

   "Hey, are you okay" i looked up seeing a boy crouching in front of me "stay back!" i called jumping back. "Hey it's okay" he said softly, i could smell the blood all over him. "Why-" i felt at a loss for air, "breath it's okay" he whispered. "You reek of blood" i whispered, "sorry i cut myself" he apologized.

   He helped me stand up, he groaned hunching over. I looked seeing my hand glowing red around his arm, i jumped back "you're a vampire" i let go quickly. His breathing was heavy "yes and you're a witch" he groaned, "not for long" i said getting up. "Your going through the transition, i can hear your heartbeat quicken" i sighed holding my stomach.

   I was starving, "you need to feed or you'll die" i groaned hearing heartbeats everywhere, "i know how it works, i used to be around vampires" my stomach rumbled. "I'll help you grab snatch and erase come on" he pulled me up helping me walk, "at least take me to dinner first" i joked as his grip tightened around my waist. I regained balance before he let me go "i'm Everett Laurier, an old vampire" he said quickly before pulling me to walk.

   He let me lean on a wall before he stepped back, "i'll bring you someone stay here" i nodded as i felt my head pounding. In a second he was back with a girl in his arms, he held her in front of him for a moment waiting for my sign. I nodded, he looked down moving the girls hair out of the way. He sunk his fangs in her letting the blood drip down her neck, i looked at it as i felt my gums hurting.

   "I can't-" i breathed, "it's okay, slowly" he said which brought me little comfort. I walked over slowly, i looked up at the boy before me before sinking my fangs into ear neck. Immediately everything felt better, i felt stronger and the blood tasted amazing. It was warm and brought hydration, i kept drinking even when Everett tried to push me off.

   I only stopped when i felt her go dry and her neck snap, i dropped her stepping away slowly as i felt my body shake. "I-" i stared wide eyed at the body that laid on the floor, "is she dead" my voice quivered. I looked up at him as i felt my eye sight get blurry, and suddenly i remembered everything. Everything that happened, from my sister dying to Kol dying.

   "Dead, they're all dead everyone" my voice grew small, "hey it's okay" Everett stepped forward. "I never got you're name" he whispered, "A-Alora, Alora Branson" i responded looking around. "Alora look you're now a vampire and vampires can do certain things" he said quickly, i was still trying to control my breathing.

"Alora, turn it off" he said holding my head making me look at him, "i don't know how" i whispered. "Just focus" he whispered, i nodded trying to focus. I took a deep breath, "that's it, good girl" Everett whispered encouraging me. It felt like light bulb flickered on as i opened my eyes, i looked around loving the way the cool air felt on my skin.

   My breath was heavy, i turned to Everett "i'm craving a snack" i said with a smirk before vamp speeding away.
