WHAT AM I? -- 3

Damon and Elena have gone to carnival after hearing of a dead body, Laila stays at the salvatore house, I mean could you imagine if people saw Elena, with a blonde version of herself? They'd think their crazy. So whilst Elena and Damon are gone. Laila gets a few books, she has no idea why she's never looked for what she really is.

She grabs a few books about supernatural creatures. She's sits down, looking through the first of the three books she could find. She reads through the pages, the only things in here are the usuals, basically half of the book is about werewolves and vampires, a few things about witches.

She sighs and places the book back down on the table, the next book had things like, gemini witches, sirens, original vampires. She sighs and puts the book down, after finding nothing but random species.

She picks up the last book, praying silently to herself that she finds something out in here, she's been reading for two whole hours. She flicks through the pages about witches, even philosiphers, any immortal being. She flicks through a page. She reads the words, "vetitum angelum lapsum" it's in Latin. She sighs and grabs her phone to take a picture to translate it, before Damon comes barging through the door.

She quickly puts her phone in her pocket, leaving the book open on the page, forgetting about it as she sees Damon carrying Rose inside.

[Oh Laila... if you had just looked at the picture. There sits a drawn picture of a woman, wearing a long white dress with wings on her back.]

She forgets about the book and helps Damon get Rose settled into bed. Laial sits alone in the corridor, thinking. Listening to Rose in pain whilst Elena helps her.

She swallows deeply, she's not supposed to care. At all. Laila always wants revenge. And Rose killed her. But Laila winces as Rose yells in pain. Begging for it to stop.

It takes her back to the moment her and Rose met. With Trevor. They were running. And that was the first time she'd ever thought to help someone. So she helped them run, making sure they were safe for a minute. Happy. Until Laila left.

That's when she hears Rose grunt slightly. Damon and put her out of her misery. Rose was Lailas first friend. And she should've been there to help her. A small tear rolls down Lailas face, she shakes her head quickly and wipes the tear away.

She sits in the living room, a few hours later. After Roses body has been dealt with. She sits alone. Staring into space. Tuning out Elena and Damons converstaion. Rose is gone, Laila shouldn't care. She's the girl who wants revenge. Always.

Yet she can't bring herself to be happy. She swallows her feelings down. Her head turning to Damon, who's being hugged by Elena. Tears threatening to spill from his eyes. Elena pulls back, "goodnight Damon." She then leaves.

Damon stands there for a moment. Laila turns to him, she puts her drink down and stands up. "You don't have to keep me here. I'll go if I have to, but I need somewhere to stay."

Damon snaps out of his small trance, "and I should do this why? Your full of hatred and revenge. You've only just become nicer. Who's to say that you won't kill me in my sleep?"

Laila walks closer to him, "because Rose was my friend too! I fact my first ever friend. And I left her and Trevor behind because I was scared. I come back and she's been bitten by a werewolf. Fatal to her. And she's dead. And I could've helped. And I'm 800 years old, and I can protect the one thing you want protected the most."

Damons head perks up, "and what is the one thing I want protect the most them hm?"

Laila shakes her head, swallowing. "Precious human Elena."
