Old Lover's And Mind Earaser's (Salvatore sister)

Chapter 5: What are you?

“Tihki this one’s yours.” Bonnie says when a red beat up car drives up with the paint shipped off. She scrunches up her nose in disgust as a boy who owned the car comes out from it.

“Why do I always get the homely one?” She comments and turns towards the boy who owned the car. “Ugh. Just to be clear, your cars a POS. I mean we can wash it but it’s still a POS.” She says snottily. 

“You don’t have to be rude.” Bonnie snaps glaring at her.

“No, rude is uglying up the rode with that Junker.” She reply’s and the boy threw his keys in the car walking away while glaring at Tihki. She bends down and puts the hose into the bucket filling it with water Bonnie glaring at her the whole time. She looked like she’s concentrating and then the whole bucket of water splashes into her face and the hose goes crazy, Tihki squealing the whole time. 

Bonnie smiles at her humiliation and Matt runs up to her with a towel trying to help. “Wow hey!” and once he said that Bonnie’s trance was broken and she took a sharp breath. Matt finally got the hose and handed Tihki the towel saying. “Wet and wild T.” grinning in amusement.

Bonnie looked confused and caught me staring at her in shock and curiosity. Once Bonnie saw me looking at her she shook her head and looked down. Chris was no longer beside me because he got dragged off by a little brunette who obviously liked to show way to much skin.

 “Hey Bonnie. I’m just going to walk around, you know explore the school.” I explain wanting to talk to Stefan about something that I just can’t get out of my head. She nods and smiles as a goodbye I do the same to her and Matt and walk over to Stefan who is washing one of the cars and I could hear Elena talking about his ring then walking away to get towels so I take my chance and jog up to him. 

“Stefan we need to talk…” I trail putting a hand on his shoulder to get him to turn around which he does.

“About what?” he asks confused and leans on the car. 

“Look I just don’t feel right about this! Damon’s our brother! And I know he can change we just have to work together and maybe he will turn around!” I ramble pacing while he frowns at my worrying self.

“Ashlyn, he won’t change. This is not like some earth project where you all get together to make the world a better place. The world will be a better place if he’s not part of It.” he states still frowning at me.

“But he’s still our brother.” I say and add almost a whisper. “The only other family we have left that won’t die. I can’t just lose him Stefan.” I plead tears coming to my eyes. I could see this broke his heart seeing me like this since he was the one who killed our father leaving me to find his bloodied body and only a mother. 

“I’m sorry Ash… but we can’t let him go.” He says walking away before he gives in and lets Damon go. I could always get what I wanted from anyone; before my brothers were turned I was only 8 so all I had to do was pout and I got what I wanted. No one could resist a cute face, and apparently I wasn’t the bratty type though. Stefan and Damon says that I always played with my dolls and trying to act grown up, like putting on high heels and going to the balls.

I sigh puffing out my cheeks, Stefan walked over to Elena and she started asking questions that I could tell was hard for Stefan to answer. “Hey.” A husky voice says getting my attention. 

I turn around to see Christopher with a bunch of girls checking him out, he had taken off his shirt while he was gone and I could see his 6 pack abs that looked so delicious. I shake my head and I could see him smirk a little bit. “Hey, what’s up? Finally got away from your fan club?” I joke and he chuckles.

“It wasn’t easy. I had to practically run away from Stacy.” He says and I laugh as he shudders grossed out, I tilt my head to the side obviously showing my confusion. 

“Who’s Stacy?” I ask, we had started walking and I could see Jenna and that dick of a news reporter Logan Fell.

“The girl who needs and real bathing suit.” He explains and I laugh again nodding. 

“Oh, yeah. Was it just me or was she practically humping you?” I comment.

“Well there are pros and cons about being so handsome.” He says smirking, the kind of smirk that makes you want to jump him where he stands. 

“I’m going home so I guess I’ll see you later?” I ask walking towards my car.

“I’ll go with you.” He says causing a smile to make its way onto my face. 

“Okay. So you wana race?” I ask my smile spreading into a grin.

“Hell yeah! First one to the house wins.” He says and we both run at human speed to our cars hopping in and flooring it to the Salvatore Boarding house. He won again. 

“It’s not fair!” I whine stomping my foot after parking behind him and getting out.

“Your car is just slow.” He says laughing at my childness. 

“No it is not! Your car is just to fucking awesome!” I say drooling over the car he smirks and I hit him arm. “You should remember this because I don’t say anything is awesome besides me.” I inform him and his smirk gets wider.

“You know it’s weird.” He says not explaining more. 

“What is?” I ask him as we start to walk up to the boarding house.

“That your head didn’t explode yet after getting so big.” He explains and I roll my eyes. 

“Touché.” I purse my lips smiling a bit. He was about to answer back but I the closer we got the more we could smell blood, I looked at him then ran to the house as fast as I could rushing through the door that was already open, Christopher doing the same. The first thing I did was listen for a heartbeat but I didn’t find any.

“Ashlyn.” Chris whispers and I turn to him and see him looking at the floor so I do the same and see a crow with its stomach open and blood sucked out of it. I turn around to see that the sun is gone and has been gone for almost an hour now. 

“Zach!” I yell, eyes going wide and run at vampire speed down stairs to the basement Chris right behind me. Once I got down stairs I saw Zach dead, with his neck cracked, pale skin, and his lifeless eyes staring at the stone wall.

My hand shot to my mouth as a cry escaped it and I nearly fell to my nees but Chris kept me up by wrapping his arms around my waste. I would have probably enjoyed it but at the moment it didn’t matter. Chris lowered us to the ground and held me in his arms like I was a fragile child. Which at the time I felt like I was. Tears were streaming down my face by the time Stefan ran into the room, his face filled with confusion, sympathy for me and anger for Damon. 

“Zach.” He whispers going over to the body while Chris tries to calm me down.  Stefan walks over to me tear pricking his eyes and gathers me up in his arms just like a big brother would do.

I didn’t cry just for Zach, I also cried for Damon who I honestly thought was better than this. But hey trust and hope can bite someone in the ass. 

Stefan held me as we both cried for our dead “uncle”, but I could tell Stefan was trying to be strong for me and I tried to do the same but I just couldn’t, I loved too many people and lost all of them. I thought that maybe, just maybe if I was nice and a good person that good things would happen to me.

Well fuck that, this isn’t a damn fairy tale. I wiped my eyes and me and Stefan got up but he seemed to have something else on his mind. I followed both Chris and Stefan through a hall that led to a bunch of shelves and on one was a box that he went straight to opening it and taking out a stake while Chris got another one from the top shelf. 

“What are you doing?” I ask my eyes going wide at their pissed off faces.

“What does it look like?” he ask walking passed me and running upstairs, Chris all the while didn’t say anything just glared ahead of him. They ran upstairs and Stefan nearly ripped off the door revealing a pissed off Elena Gilbert.

“What. Are. You?” she asks a little breathless and scared, all our eyes go wide and we freeze in our spots.
