The Gilbert Secret

Chapter 11

When we return, I follow Damon into Stefans room where we find Vicki laying on his bed "What are you doing?" I ask raising my eyebrow at her "Just contemplating the next hundred years. Why did you do it?" "I was...bored." I look over at Damon for help. "You did this to me out of boredom?" "It's one of the pitfalls of eternity." Damon cuts in I mentally thank him. "Now I'm bored. And all I can think about is blood. I just want some blood. I can't think about anything else. What is that about?" "That'll ease up. You've just been cooped up all day. Let's go. "I say grabbing her arm and dragging her off of the bed. "Where?" "Your life was pathetic. Your afterlife doesn't have to be." Suddenly Stefan joined the party and gave me a pointed look.

"What are you doing?" he quizzes me looking at my hand around Vicki's arm "She's been cooped up in your room all day. She's not Anne Frank." I snap at him "No no. Hey hey...Now's not the time for this." "I won't let her be left like you did to me" Damon steps in front of us and confronts Stefan "If you're gonna teach her. Teach her. Show her what it's all about." Stefan ignores me and looks right at Damon

"She could hurt someone." "we're not takin' her to Disneyland. We're going in the front yard. Come on." "Bad idea Damon." "She's a vampire Stefan, she should know the perks." I smirk at him stepping beside Damon "Like what?" Vicki Questions looking at me "Like...." I use my superspeed to go behind Vicki "Whoa. How did you do that?" Vicki asks letting out an amused chuckle "Come on Vicki, live a little. No pun intended." I smirk at Damon knowing what will happen next. Watching Vicki sprint off as Stefan looks around waiting for her to return. "Uh...my bad." I shrug and smirk over at him before sprinting off after her.

Following Vicki back to her place I stand beside her as she tries to go in the door. "Let's have some fun" I look over to her smirking. "Matt?" "Vicki? Is that you?" "Hey Matt, sorry I kept her from you she had a bad hang over and thought it was best she stayed with me until she felt better" "Thank you Aurora, come in guys" Matt embraces Vicki but I notice she's struggling with the smell and pulls away not long after. "Please come inside, both of you I've been worried. Thank God you're okay, Vic?" "It's no big deal. Drop it already." "Three people were murdered in the woods. The cops were looking' for you. They wanna question you." "They know where I live." "Everyone was worried about you" "She's back now. Just let it go Matt" "Are you kidding? I had a freaking search party out looking for you while you were off on your crazy drug trip, and you want me to let it go?" "My head hurts." "You think?" Suddenly the doorbell rings and I instantly know who it will be.

"Stefan, what are you doing here?" I walk to beside Vicki and give her a small smile "Is Vicki home?" "Yeah." "Can I see her, please?" Quickly looking to Vicki, I shake my head "Don't let him in. I don't want him in here." "Did he do something to you?" "No, I just don't want him in here." Vicki says, looking at me. "Just let me come in so I can explain myself." "Look, I don't know what's going on, but I think you should leave now." "Matt..." "Please, now, Stefan." Matt shuts the door and walks back to us. "Is everything ok?" we both just nod our heads looking at each other smiling "So I hear there's a Party at the school tonight" I say while smirking at Vicki. "Yea, are you two going then? You can come with me?" "Sounds great, let's go find a costume Aurora" Vicki drags me off to her room and we find two costume.

Vicki is going as a vampire. Seems perfect if you ask me and I'm going as a devil. Walking into the school with Matt we decided to split off from him and sneak into the dark. I come across a group of people our age "Excuse me" I smile sweetly at them "Whats up?" "Don't scream don't move, my friend and I are thirsty. Let us drink from you and then forget this happened" They nod their head and Vicki and I bite into their necks hiding in the dark corner of the room. Pulling away I tap Vicki's shoulder, so she doesn't drain Her's "Let's go, at least now you won't be hungry when you see my brother" I smirk and drag Vicki off towards the sound of my brother. Suddenly Stefan grabs both of our arms and pulls us into an empty classroom. "What, you're following us now?" I say as I rip my arm from stefans grip. "You didn't really give me a much of choice." He glares at me. "Let me out of here." Vicki protests

"You shouldn't be here Vicki. Crowds like this makes it even harder for you to keep yourself under control." "She's fine." I pushed him off of her and out of her way. "Really?" "Mmm hmm." Vicki hums at him "No headache? Your stomach's not screaming at you? You're not feeling lightheaded, anxious or cranky like if someone looks at you the wrong way you could rip their head off? Do you wanna know what that's called? It's called hunger and it's only gonna get worse and worse every minute that you pretend like it's not controlling you." Grabbing Vicki's arm yet again he drags her into the Corridor leaving me behind "Gee love the support... Friend" Grumbling to myself as I storm out of the classroom and heading towards the back of the school where the bus's park.

Suddenly I'm hearing my sisters screams rushing towards her the smell of blood hits me. Oh no. Rushing over to Elenas Screams and the smell of blood I find Vicki biting into her. Quickly ripping her off and looking back to Stefan who has a make shift stake in his hand I nod and catch it as he chucks it towards me before stabbing Vicki in the heart "I'm sorry Vicki, I shouldn't have brought you here, I thought you would be able to control it better." I pull the stake out as Vicki looks into my eyes before falling down and dying.

Looking over at Elena assessing her injuries she looks over at me shocked before we both look to Jeremy "Vicki! Vicki! Vicki! Vicki!" Stefan is holding Jeremy back as Jeremy is going into shock over what he has just seen "Get him out of here." Elena and I both yell out. Pulling out my phone Calling Damon "What" I hear him snap "I need your help" I look over at Elena as she sits down beside Vicki bawling her eyes out. Stefan gives me a nod before leaving to take Jeremy home.

Damon doesn't take long to arrive, and he instantly looks over at Elena and sees the body shes crying on top of. "You should go, we've got this" as this leaves my mouth Elena glares over at me "You guys did this. This is your fault." she points between both of us "You confuse me for someone with remorse." Elena turns around to Slap Damon but he grips her wrist causing her to wince. "None of this matters to me. None of it." He hisses at her "People die around you two. How could it not matter? It matters, and you know it." This time Elena has the upper hand, and she turns around and slaps Damon across the check. He snaps his head back to her and looks down at her "You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding, and you need to leave." He growls at her, and she turns and quickly leaves.

Well, let's do this then. I Throw Vicki over my back looking at Damon and we Rush off towards the river following a back road. Jumping down the ditch Damon follows behind with a shovel and we Start finding a space to lay Vicki to rest. Looking down at her I Smile softly "I'm sorry Vicki, I hope you find peace where ever you are" Covering her body up and looking over at Damon who looks bored as shit "Should we go?" Nodding his head, he helps me out of the ditch, and we slowly make our way towards my family's home.

Making our way onto the front lawn I spot elena outside talking to Stefan "Can you make him forget?" Stefan sighs looking down "Elena..." "Stefan, please. I don't know how he'll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened." "If I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work...Because of who I am. Because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right." Stepping forward making myself known to Elena "I can do it. If this is what you want...I'll do it." "It's what I want." She looks up at me with pleading eyes "What do you want him to know?" "I want you to tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best." Looking back at Damon I then turn to the door and head inside. To compel Jeremy.

After talking Jeremy and compelling him to, forget and do well at school, to cope with the grief and to move on, I walk back outside to join the others. looking to Elena I nod my head "It's done" "Thank you" she gives me a small smile and walks inside. Looking at the Salvatore brothers I shake my head with a small smile "We need to do better, Lets go home we can start fresh tomorrow" They nod and follow me off towards the boarding house.
