The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 79

Mel's POV
"Hey. Lena? Can I talk to you in private?" I ask. She gulps and nods. We make our way into the kitchen.
"Look. Lena. I would like to know why you hated me." I say straight out.
"I was jealous of you Melliekins." Thats the childhood name she gave me. I smiled.
"There's no need to be jealous." I say. She smiles at me and hesitates on giving me a hug.
"I'm sorry Mel. Forgive me?"
"I forgive you Lena." We pull out and head into the living room however; we can't see anyone. No Damon. No Jeremy. No Lillian. I become worried and frantically search the house. After an hour, my phone goes off from unknown.
You want your boyfriend, brother and daughter safe? Meet me at the Mikaelson mansion now!
I rush out and head towards the mansion. I rush in to see Damon and Jeremy tied up.
"Damon? Jeremy?" They look up.
"Melanie... Run." Damon croaks out.
"No! I'm not leaving." I go towards only to have an arrow shot into my chest. I fall to the floor and scream out in pain.
"Well well well. Look who we have here." I hear Esther's voice say.
"Esther." I spit out.
"Hello Melanie. Now. I can't have you wondering around with the power that you behold." She says.
"Yeah yeah yeah. What are you going to do about it?" I tease. She smiles and starts chanting. I feel myself suddenly getting weaker but I keep myself up.
"Esther! Stop!" I hear Damon and Jeremy repeat. I turn to them slowly and smile weakly. They look at me concerned. I mouth 'I love you' to them both. They mouth it back and I turn back to Esther. I know what I have to do. I weakly vamp speed towards her and my hand reaches into her chest. Her power strengthens and with one final whip of my hand, her heart is in my hand out in the air. She falls to the floor dead. I look at her body with tears in my eyes. I killed my best friends' mother. I can't face them ever again. I turn to Jeremy and Damon who are looking at me with concern and worry. I go over to them and unchain them. They fall to the floor to catch their energy.
"W-where's Lillian?" I ask weakly.
"She's in the basement." I go to vamp speed but I keep crashing into things. Just as I reach the door, I hear someone behind me. I turn and see Kol but I quickly turn back around.
"Melanie? Are you ok?" He asks with concern in his voice.
"I-I'm f-fine." I open the door and rush down.
"Lillian!" I yell.
"Mommy!" I hear her. I run as fast as I could there without collapsing. I see her and rush to her picking her up. I rush upstairs to see Damon and Jeremy on their feet. I pass Lillian to Jeremy and turn to Damon. I hug him as tight as possible but that isn't very tight. He pulls back and frowns.
"Are you ok Melanie?" He asks.
"I'm f-fine." I stutter. I suddenly feel really dizzy and black spots surround my vision. I fall to the floor and the last thing I hear is Damon shouting my name.
