Chapter 21: Vicki Problem
At Mystic Falls High, Tyler is walking out to his car.

Tyler: All right, later, man.
Man: See you, bro!

Tyler gets in his car. Vicki is there.

Vicki: Hi, Ty.
Tyler: Whoa, Vicki? Everyone's looking for you!
Vicki: I know.
Tyler: What's wrong, Vick?
Vicki: I'm so cold.
Tyler: You're on drugs!? Everyone thinks you're off on a bender.
Vicki: (whispers) I wish.
Tyler: What happened in those woods, Vicki? Those kids that were killed. What did you see?
Vicki: I'm so scared.
Tyler: Come here. It's okay. I'll take you home.
Vicki: I can't control it.
Tyler: Control what?
Vicki: I am so hungry, Ty. And it won't go away.
Tyler: What are you on? What drugs did you take?
Vicki: I want it. I am so hungry, Ty.
Tyler: Okay look, I'll get you something to eat. Just sit back. Look, let's just get you home, okay? Whoa! Vicki! what is wrong with you?!

Vicki attacks Tyler. Stefan pulls her off of him in time.

Vicki: Aah! Let go of me!

Damon appears.

Tyler: What's going on here, Stefan? What's wrong with her?
Damon: You don't talk.
Tyler: Screw you, dude.
Damon: "Dude"? Really? "Dude"?
Stefan: Damon, don't!
Damon: Oh come on. Who's gonna miss this idiot?

Tyler hits Damon.

Vicki: Ooh! Don't you hurt him.

Damon grabs Tyler by the throat and compels him.

Damon: Forget what you saw here tonight. None of us were here.

He throws Tyler. Tyler gets up and all of them are gone.

Gilbert Residence, Elena wakes up and goes into the bathroom.

Elena: Sorry.
Jeremy: Oh, no, it's cool, I'm done.
Elena: You're up early. Where are you going?
Jeremy: Police station. They're organizing the search party for Vicki, so...
Elena: Wait. Shouldn't you be going to school?
Jeremy: What? You're kidding me, right?
Elena: You shouldn't skip school. If they find her, we'll know. That's what cellphones are for.
Jeremy: Yeah, your lips keep movin'. I don't know why.

At the Mystic Falls High, Matt's phone rings.

Matt: Yeah?
Vicki: Matty?
Matt: Vicki, where are you? Are you okay?
Vicki: Yeah. I'm okay.
Matt: Tell me where you are, and I'll come get you.
Vicki: No. Matty, I just need some time to figure things out. Just know that I am okay, okay? Please don't worry about me. [hangs up on him.]

At the Salvatore Boarding House with Vicki, Stefan, Damon, Giselle and Vicki.

Vicki: I don't understand why I have to stay cooped up here. Why can't I just go home?

Giselle: cause your a vampire now and you need to learn to control yourself

Vicki: I didn't ask you Salvatore
Giselle: (grabs her by neck) I'm 158 year old vampire, I'm faster, stronger and more experience then you, so don't tempt me to kill you because I have no problem putting a stake right through your heart
Vicki: (gasp) then why don't you just do it then?
Giselle: you would want that would you
Stefan: alright Giselle enough. And I thought Damon told you to be quiet
Giselle: but she...

Stefan raise eyebrow at her, and she sigh defeated and sat down angrily with her arm cross glaring at the floor.

Stefan: will talk about your behavior today later, do you understand me young lady

Giselle: (mumbles) yes sir
Stefan: out little girl
Giselle: (sighs) yes Stefan
Stefan: thank you (to Vicki) to answer your question, Giselle is right, you're changing, Vicki, and it's not something you wanna do alone.
Damon: There's nothin' about that Logan guy I killed in here. Not a word. Someone's covering it up.
Vicki: What is that?
Damon: This is a very special, very old compass. What was Logan Fell doing with it? Aren't you curious?
Stefan: Well, if you're so worried that somebody's onto you, why don't you just leave town, Damon?
Damon: We should all be worried.
Vicki: Hey, um, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?
Stefan: Here.
