--3 Months Later--
Mel's POV
It's been 3 months since I left Mystic Falls and no one and I mean no one has come looking for me. They haven't contacted me. To prefer, Jeremy hates me and the last time I saw anyone else I was none humanity Melanie. I miss everyone but here... Here I have a new beginning. I met Chase who is now my boyfriend. I met him when I had my humanity off again yet he somehow got it back on. He's a vampire and I love him. I can still remember the day I met him.
*Flashback*
I walked down the streets of Texas exploring. It's my second week here and I haven't even been out much. I'm looking for a snack as well. I see the perfect guy and I drag him into the alleyway next to me. I push him up against the wall and go straight for his neck. I bite into it making his blood drizzle into my mouth when I hear a male voice behind me.
"Careful. You don't want to kill him do you?" I pull back and say,
"I don't care. I'm hungry." I go for his neck again quickly draining him of his blood.
"I see. You have your humanity off don't you?"
"What's it to you? Stay away from me. I don't need to deal with this." I go to walk out but he grabs my wrist. I turn and hiss at him.
"Come with me. Lets talk." He demands. I follow after him and he leads us to the bar. We slide into a booth that was empty. I sat opposite him.
"Now explain to me why you have your humanity off."
"Fine. Basically 2 weeks ago I lived in Mystic Falls. I just got home and started packing my stuff. I had just got my humanity back and wanted to leave. My brother attacked me saying I'm a monster and I need to die. I ran out of the house with my stuff and came here. I turned my humanity back off so I don't have to take crap from anyone."
"So you basically ran from your problems?"
"No. I ran from my life. I ran from my old life. I didn't want to live like that anymore. It's not like anyone cares I'm gone. They haven't looked for me let alone contact me. The last time I saw anybody besides my brother is when I had my humanity off. But I don't care. My sister stole my boyfriend off of me. I made their lives hell when I had my humanity off so I'm not surprised they haven't bothered. Why am I telling you this? You probably don't even care." I reply laughing at the end.
"I do care. I'm not leaving you alone until you have your humanity on."
"Yeah. Whatever." I stand up and walk out.
*Flashback over*
For the next month he kept following me around when one night I kissed him and we had sex. I felt love towards him for a while and then I realised my humanity was back on. When I woke up the next morning and found out that he had sex with me to get my humanity back on I was furious but then he told me he loved me and I admitted that I loved him. We have been together ever since. My phone rings in my pocket and I pull it out to see Chase's name. I click answer and put it to my ear.
(M-Mel C-Chase)
M- hey Chase what's up?
C- hey babe. I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date tonight. I have a surprise for you.
M- yeah sure but you do remember how much I hate surprises.
C- you'll love this one. Trust me.
M- ok how about 7pm? Is that ok?
C- thats fine. Love you Mel. Bye.
M- bye Chase. Love you too.
I hang up and check the time. It's 6:30pm so I have half hour before our date. I rush home and go straight to the fridge. I open it and pull out a blood bag. I drain it in seconds and throw it away. Chase told me to drink from blood bags and not people because I'm what they call a 'ripper'. Apparently there was a ripper in Chicago in the 1920's and I'm the only one since then. If I get close to a human's neck I feel like ripping open their jugular and draining every drop of their blood. The last time I had a taste of blood from the vein I ripped them apart. That was when I had no humanity. Chase saved me. I go to my room and change into all black clothes and curl my hair. I go over to my make up station and put black eyeliner on winged style and mascara on. I check the time and its 7pm exactly. I hear a knock on the door and I open it to see James there. I smile and hug him. I peck his lips and we hold hands walking out on the street. He leads me past the park and on a hillside. I see a basket and a bottle of champagne with 2 glasses. I smile and we sit down on the blanket.
"I brought ham sandwiches, chocolate fingers and grapes. Is that alright?" He says looking worried. I giggle a little.
"It's fine Chase. Stop worrying. Now what's this surprise?"
"I can't help worrying Melanie. You know that. I want everything to be perfect. You will have to wait till after this picnic." He smirks and starts to get the food out the basket. I grab a sandwich and start eating it. I love ham sandwiches. They're my favourite. I look to Chase out the corner of my eye and I see him looking at me. I wink at him and laugh as he looks away. I peck him on the lips again.
"I love you Chase. You know that right?" I say and ask. I want him to know I love him. I don't want him to feel like he is another James. He knows all about what happened with James.
"I know you do Melanie. I love you too." We smile at each other and finish the picnic.
"Now what's this surprise Chase?"
"You gotta wait till we get home. It's there." I groan and we walk home. I open the door and turn towards Chase.
"Where is it?" I ask him. This is really annoying me.
"In your bedroom. Hope you like it." I smile at him and peck him on the lips.
"I will always love things like this. But if it's to do with my old life then I won't." His face drops at this. I frown and back away.
"Please tell me it has nothing to do with my old life." His mouth keeps opening and closing but no noise comes out.
"Chase! I told you I don't want anything reminding me of my old life! I want to have a new life without anything there holding me back!"
"Look I'm sorry but please go look then tell me if you don't like it." I growl and walk to my bedroom and open the door. I see Elena, Jeremy, Damon and Stefan sat on my bed and walk past them.... Wait! Hang on. I turn back towards them and I see them all looking at me. My eyes widen and I back away.
"Hey Melanie. Long time no see." Elena says. I gulp and go to run out but Damon holds me by the waist. I try to escape but his grip is stronger on me. He feeds from people while I can't.
"Calm down Melanie. We don't want to hurt you. We just want to talk." Damon says. I shake my head and carry on trying to escape.
"Chase! I'm going to kill you! How could you?!" I scream. Chase walks in the doorway.
"Look I'm sorry Mel. I thought that you would want to see them."
"I told you how much I wanted a new start! I told you everything and this is how you repay me! I don't want them here!" I scream at him. I stop trying to escape and turn towards everyone. I back away and say to them,
"I want you out of here. I want you out of my life forever. Get out before I force you out." Wow. Didn't think I would ever be able to say that without breaking.
"Melanie. Can we at least talk? Catch up?" Jeremy says. Is he actually kidding me?! He tried to kill me!
"No. I want you gone. Last time I saw you, you tried to kill me. Told me how I was a monster and deserve to die. Told me I weren't your sister. Told me I was a murderer. How much you despised me. Yet you're here trying to act like that didn't happen. Elena. You stole Damon off of me. You knew how much I loved him yet you carried on. You preferred me dead than Bonnie same with all of you. Damon. Wow what to say? You abandoned me when I needed you the most. The one person who I thought would come looking for me or even contact me gave up. I'm not surprised. I mean the last time I saw you all, I was emotionless. Except, you Jeremy. You were the last one to see me and I had my humanity back. But then you said all them things. I came here and switched it off again. I didn't want it back on till I met Chase." I pause for a second then carry on.
"He helped me when I tried pushing him away. He didn't give up on me. He loved me and I loved him and we still do. I'm happy here without you all here so I suggest you go home." I growl the last part.
"Melanie." Damon says. I turn my head towards him and he continues.
"We aren't leaving without you." I sigh.
"I wish it didn't have to come to this." I rush towards him snapping his neck, then Elena's then Jeremy's leaving Stefan.
"What did you do that for?! They just wanted you back Melanie! Why can't you see that?!" He yells at me. I flinch and whimper. That's the first time He has yelled at me.
"I-I'm s-sorry Stefan." I whimper out. His face softens and he comes towards me but I flinch away. He has actually scared me. For once in my life, Stefan has scared me. My sudden scaredness quickly changes into anger. I growl and glare at Stefan giving him an aneurism. He falls to the floor screaming in agony. Chase comes to my side and places his hand on my shoulder calming me down but then reality hit me in the face. I snapped my sister's and brother's neck. I snapped Damon's. I gave Stefan an aneurism. I am the monster Jeremy called me. I do deserve to die. I start to sob quite hard and fall to the floor. I bring my knees to my chest and hug them rocking backwards and forwards mumbling 'I'm a monster' over and over again. Elena then wakes up then Damon. Jeremy... He is still unconscious. Elena looks at me and she looks at me with sympathy. They all come closer to me to comfort me but I just back away till I'm in the corner of my room.
"S-Stay a-away from me. I-I might h-hurt you again." I stutter sobbing harder. Chase sits next to me and brings me into his arms. He takes me to the bed where I sit against the headboard and everyone sits in front of me.
"Calm down Melanie. It's not your fault." Damon says.
"Yeah. He's right. This is none of your fault. You left to start over. It's not your fault." Elena backs him up.
"Just take deep breaths and calm down. Alright? Then we can talk properly." Stefan says. I look over to Jeremy's temporary dead body.
"W-why hasn't he woken up yet? D-did I k-kill him permanently?" I say trying to hold back a sob. Damon shakes his head indicating that he is permanently dead. I breath out and calm down. I place my head on Chase's shoulder and calm down further.
"Right lets talk then." I say smiling slightly.
They all smile back at me and Damon id the first to speak.
"When did you two meet and how?"
"Chase you take this one." I say and I feel Chase nodding. He explains to them and they sit there shocked. Elena goes to say something when Jeremy shoots up. I shoot up and rush to him hugging him when he pulls back. He looks at me with anger and hatred. He hates me now?
"You monster. You are exactly what I called you 3 months ago. I missed last time this time I won't." He rushes at me bringing a stake out of his boot. I gasp and run out the room and out the building. This is exactly what I was trying to escape. The hurt, hatred, disappointment, all these bad emotions from the past. I go to the local bar and straight to the bartender compelling him saying,
"Bring me 20 shots and keep them coming." He nods and goes to get my shots. He comes back about 20 seconds later. I drink shot after shot after shot until they're all gone. I call over the bartender and ask for 30 more. I grabs them and I down them. I want my problems to be gone for now. The door opens and I turn a little and see Chase and the gang there looking around. I turn back round and keep downing the shots. I feel the world spin around me and I know I'm drunk. I ask for 30 more and I down them. I start feeling numb and I know the alcohol is kicking in. I get up from my seat and start to head home. How did they not notice me? Oh well. Once I reach my door I open it and head straight for the TV. I put on the music channel and start blasting music. I grab a bottle of bourbon and start drinking it. Might as well get more drunk. I start dancing around when I hear my door open. I rush upstairs into my bedroom and hide under my bed. I hold onto the sides and lift myself up. I hold my breath and wait. My door opens and I hear 2 sets of footsteps.
"Come on Melanie. We know you're in here." I hear Chase's voice. I hear footsteps getting closer and a shadow getting lower. They look under the bed but don't see me because I'm lifted up.
"Check the bathroom. She's here somewhere. The TV wasn't on when we left." I hear Damon's voice. I hear the footsteps fade then my door shut. I peek out and see no feet. I slowly lower myself and get out from under the bed. I jump out the window with my bourbon and run to the only place I could think of... Emma's house. I have known Emma for a while now and she is one of my greatest friends ever. I love her like a sister. She lives in Ohio so I just got to go there. I run as fast as I can to her house. It took about an hour or so but oh well. Who cares? I knock the door and Emma opens it.
"Melanie? What are you doing here?"
"Hey Emma. I was wondering if I could stay with you for a bit."
"Yeah sure. You're welcome whenever."
"Thanks." I walk into the house and sit on the sofa. Oh did I forget to mention that she is a hybrid? I don't know how. I think that she was just born like it. I lie down and start to fall asleep when I hear Emma say,
"We will talk tomorrow. Night Melanie."
"Ok Emma. Night. Love you."
"Love you too." I smile and drift off into darkness.
