A party filled with drunken teenagers and I'm the only responsible adult here... This can't go down well. A beautiful woman with dark hair started making her way towards me. 'Ah, finally someone over twenty.' I laughed at this insanely amazing person. 'Personal chaperones are huddled around the burger bar'
'And you're a vegetarian?' I asked as more of a statement.
'I don't eat red meat, I look at blood all day' what. Was she a vampire too? No of course not. Still what? She finally explained that she worked at the medical centre which I responded with relieved laughter. She introduced herself as Jo. She then insulted my job and asked for a drink from my flask of blood... oh god ummm what do I say. I nervously covered the flask in my hands and said 'oh I'm actually a germaphobe' that's the only way to recover. I then excused myself to make a phone call to which she said 'why?'
'What do you mean?' I asked with utter confusion obvious in my voice.
'Do you honestly not remember your wife' she said in the meanest tone. Why was this random woman I met giving me a hard time, she's obviously the one that's insane.
'My wife?' I asked in shock and laughed nervously.
She looked at me until I realised. 'Jo!' I exclaimed. Oh my god she was here she was real. I grabbed her face getting ready to kiss her when she pushed me away and said 'Alaric what's happening?'
Blood started to appear on her top.
'Jo, no, what's happening?!' I said as panic took over. She fell to the ground and I knelt down to hold her head 'no, stay with me!' I begged, fighting back tears. She muttered something under her breath which I didn't here so I asked her 'what?'
'This is all your fault' she said once again. I looked at her not knowing how to reply.
She continued. 'You're the one with the bad luck, first your wife, then jenna, then Damon, me... And now Elena. You're bad news. Everyone you care about dies Alaric, why would you do this to them?'
No this couldn't be my fault but it was. This is all my fault this is all my fault. I held Jo in my arms as she took her last breaths 'no!' I screamed 'you don't get to die on me.'
I broke down in tears and started repeatedly yelling 'this is all my fault!' That's when I heard someone say 'Alaric?' What.

My eyes took a while to adjust. I was in my house. What. 'It was just a dream' a familiar voice Said sincerely. I finally had my bearings 'Damon?' I look at the pile of books around me 'I fell asleep whilst reading.' I observed. Damon put on his worried face before saying 'I told you you don't have to look through Jo's stuff'
Jo.
'No, it's fine, I want to help.' I said whilst rubbing the sleep away from my eyes. Caroline was also here but I had only just noticed her she smiled at me and said 'sorry it took so long for me to come round but.. I had to get this guy' she said laughing and pointing towards Damon. He rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the books on my desk. 'Lets get to work' he said and picked up a random book and started scanning the pages. Caroline quickly followed. I was still a bit dizzy from sleep and had to remind myself, it was only a dream.
