Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

7. Sleep

We all get into Bonnie's car. Me and Jer in the back and Elena in the passenger seat. "So it is a party-" Bonnie begins but I cut her off, "At the falls yeah I know."

"How do you-" Elena looks back at me.

"I have my ways" I smirk at her and wink at her.

She squint her eyes at me but doesn't say anything and turns her head back in the front.

I zone out the chit chat and look outside leaning my head against the window and close my eyes.

"Isla" I feel a hand on my shoulder shaking me.

"Isla!" I hear the voice louder making me snap my eyes open. A groan leaves my lips as a blinding light invaded my eyes. I start to blink fast trying to adjust to the light. After few seconds when the light didn't bother me I turn my head to see Jeremy.

"We are here" he simply says and leaves the car.

"Right" I mumble to myself and exit the car, the loud music filled my ears, irritating me like anything. I need few minutes before I can process all of the chaos around me. I see Elena and Bonnie leaning against the hood of the car.

"Finally sleeping beauty is awake" Elena says with a smirk on her face.

"Ha ha" I yawn out walking away from both of them.

"Isla!" I hear Elena's voice and I turn around as she jogs towards me.

"Listen I didn't mean it" she says as her voice quivers.

I internally groan and place my hand on my shoulder, "I just woke up so I am grumpy with all the loud music just give me few minutes to adjust" I give her a smile. And she nods her head.

"You can go over there to compose yourself" she points towards a tiny bridge slightly away from the chaos. "Sound is less irritating there" she chuckles and I nod my head, walking away from her.

I reach the wooden bridge and the sound is dramatically reduced.

I lean on the railing of the bridge and take a deep breath in, smell of forest filling my body. I sigh in relaxation, and finally look around. Everyone is dancing and getting drunk.

"I don't think I've ever seen you here" I hear voice beside me and I see a blonde, holding a red cup towards me.

I take the cup but don't do anything else. He leans beside me and eyes my cup. I internally scoff.

Like I ever will drink from a spiked cup.

"My name is Lucas" he smirks, "and you are making me feel lonely, I am the only one who is drinking here, come on give me company" he urges me to drink.

He is definitely not from school.

"I didn't ask" I mutter under my breath.

"What was that?" he asks.

I look him in the eyes, "I said I didn't ask what your name is and I don't want to give you company" I give him a tight lip smile.

"Oh come on don't be difficult" he pouts pathetically.

"How about you try that girl" I point towards a girl who is standing with a crop top and shorts on, glaring at me like anything.

"Yeah no, I am interested in you" he gives me a flirty smile.

"How about you leave me alone until I am being nice" I again give him a tight lip smile.

"How about no" he gets closer to me.

"Then how about your head against this railing?" I roll my eyes at him.

"Come on" he grabs my arm, "stop being so difficult bitch."

I throw the contains of the cup on his face and grab his arm which is holding mine and twist it behind his back, forcing him to bends down, I knee him in the gut and a yelp leaves his lips.

"Get a hint asshole" I say and push him away.

He straightens himself glaring at me.

"Leave before I drag your ass to Sherif Forbes" I scoff at him and throw the empty cup at his head.

"Why you" he looks at me but stumbles slightly, well the drug he mixed in my drink must be strong. He is just getting affected by the fumes or he was already drunk and the fumes if drug escalated it.

"Leave before I actually break something" I clench my fist and glare at him.

He glares at me but stumbles away. I let out a breath of relief and lean back.

"Well that was scary" I mumble to myself.

"That's my girl" I hear a whisper and I immediately turn around to see the trees rustling.

"What the-"

"Well that was something" I hear a familiar voice.

I turn around to see Stefan with his hands in his pockets.

"You saw?" I ask.

"The whole thing" he leans beside me but he kept his space.

"It was scary" I chuckle.

"I bet" he looks at me, "but didn't looked like you needed any help."

"No, I wasn't scared of him, like please that dude could barley stand up."

"Then?" he asks

"It's" I sigh but continue, "more like I am scared of myself you know" I look down at my hands then at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like what I become when I get angry" I sigh, "never mind you won't get it" I mutter under my breath.

"No, I get it. I do I-I've been through something similar so I do" he gives a warm smile and I nod at him.

"So what you doing here?" I question him.

"What do you mean?" He knits his brows in confusion.

"I mean what are you doing here with me instead of being with my sister" I chuckle.

"Well Elena went off to find Jeremy and I saw that asshole approaching you, thought you might need my help but clearly didn't" he chuckles at the last part, "So where did you learn to fight like that?"

"Well I've lived most of my life alone so had to learn how to defend myself plus my old school encouraged self defense for all the students so yeah" I tell him.

Then suddenly music stops and I hear Elena and Jeremy screaming for help.

"What the-" I run towards the noise to see a group forming around a picnic table. I quickly push people away and I see Elena holding her hand over on an unconscious girl while Jeremy is sobbing with a blondie on their side.

"Someone please call an ambulance" blondie pleads but no one listens and people just continue to murmur amongst themselves.

I roll my eyes and take out my phone and dial 911.
