I Know The End | D. Salvatore

Which Witch

I felt myself getting pulled from my dream as my eyes suddenly opened and consciousness came rushing back to me like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over my head. I furrowed my brows, wondering why I had been woken so abruptly.

But I didn't have to wonder for long. My eyes landed on John. He was standing over me with something held in his hand. He quickly stuffed the item into his pocket once he noticed that I was awake, his eyes widening slightly as he locked onto my now open eyes.

"What the fuck?" I exclaimed as I sat up, my eyes wide as I stared at him. I shuffled back until my back hit the headboard, trying to put as much distance between us as I could.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." John said. He had a strangely guilty look in his eyes, but only because he had been caught

"What are you doing in here?" I asked him, staring up at him with a suspicious gaze.

"I...don't worry about it." He swiftly turned and left my room, shutting the door quietly behind him. I stared at my door for a long moment, my heart beating painfully hard against my chest.

I exhaled shakily, laying back down and staring up at my ceiling. I would have to tell Damon about this, what did he have in his hand? Was he planning on killing me? Why would he even want to do that?

Does he know something the rest of us don't?

It took me a long while to fall back asleep again, but eventually my eyes closed and I fell into a restless dream. A part of my mind was now on edge, waiting for him to try and get back in again.

'Come to my class. ASAP'

The message from Alaric popped up on my phone, causing me to furrow my brows. I got into my car and drove down to the high school, feeling weird as I walked in through the doors of the school I no longer went to.

"Hey." I turned my head at Damon's voice as he came up beside me.

"Hi" I mused, sending Damon a small smile.

We walked up to Alaric's classroom door. Damon reached for the door hand and opened it, beckoning for me to go first. I gave him a grateful smile as I stepped into the classroom. Damon stepped through behind me and closed the door.

"Damon. Althea, thanks for coming." Alaric said. I noted that both Elena and Stefan were already here.

"Sorry I'm late, my dog ate my, uh...never mind." Damon said

I looked over at my sister to see she had a shocked expression on her face. She was staring ahead of her but I could tell she wasn't really looking at anything. I furrowed my brows at her, wondering what was wrong.

"What's with all the furrowed brows?" Damon asked

"I saw Isobel last night." Alaric said

"What?" I asked with wide eyes

"Isobel's here?" Damon asked

Alaric nodded wordlessly. "In town?" Damon asked again. He then looked over his shoulder at Elena.

I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder, trying to offer comfort to her. Alaric filled Damon and I in on his conversation with Isobel.

"Did you ask about uncle John? Are they working together?" Damon asked. My heart jolted slightly at the mention of him.

"No." Alaric said

"No, they're not?" Damon asked for clarification

"No, I didn't ask." Alaric said
