Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

56. Transitioning

I didn't end up meeting Damon as Atticus took me away, apparently Bill Forbes is immune to compulsion and before he figures out Atticus was a vampire we were gone.

"How can human be immune to compulsion?" I ask him in disbelief.

"They can if they go through mindless torture for years, a vampire hunter probably helped him" Atticus gets out of the car.

"So we can't compel them?" I raise my eyebrows following him inside the house.

"Miss Isla, why do you always forget that you are a Darius and I am 1700 years old" he chuckles.

"Right" I shake my head at myself.

"So the council is bunch of moreo-" Atticus gets interrupted with my phone ringing, I quickly apologise to him, picking up the call.

"You might wanna keep your best friend in check" I hear Ric's annoyed voice, "What's wrong?" I ask.

"He snapped my neck when I asked him to stay away from Elena" he scoffs making me roll my eyes at him.

"Is it out of the ordinary for him to snap like that?" I shake my head.

"No-but"

"The thing is Ric, since Stefan is gone you and Elena have been trying to force that role onto him and yes he played that role for the sake of you and her but for how long would've you thought he wouldn't snap?" I question and in response I get silence.

"Exactly so Ric he is your best friend as well and you know him as much as I do so talk to him directly with things like his friend and not Elena's guardian" with a huff I cut the call, looking up at Atticus who had an amused expression on his face.

"So the council are much of moreons?" I ask as we both walk towards the kitchen.

Next day Elena called me with the most enthusiastic voice I have hear all summer, they are planning to prank and place harmless traps around the school to mark the start of the senior year which so she invited me to join her mission which without hesitation I agreed to.

She apologised few times and I agreed but I will still keep my distance with her.

I tried calling Damon to make him join on the endeavour but his phone went straight to voicemail so right now we are setting up mouse traps. Suddenly the door opens and Matt steps in setting of the mouse trap which set of a chain reaction, I turn on the lights as the mouse traps starts to set off one by one making everyone groan.

"Matt! It took us ages" Caroline whines like a baby making me snicker.

"What are you guys doing here?" Matt asks, he is covered in sweat from head to toe making me tilt my head in confusion.

"How could you forget senior prank night?" Elena groans.

"Clearly" he chuckles.

"How could you forget? We have been only planning for this since freshman year" Caroline rolls his eyes at him.

"Yeah Matt, if I am doing this you are doing it" Elena point at him with red pop up.

"I am kind of surprised any of you are doing this" Matt says.

"Caroline's making us" I comment snickering.

"We are about to be seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever and if-"

"If we can't create these memories now then what's the point of it all" me and Elena say in unison.

"You are all lame, I have about ten more classes to prank" Tyler interrupts grabbing his red duffle bag.
