Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

15 • Vervain

Aliona's P.O.V

I quickly explained to the girls that I had to use the bathroom before jogging off and into the school, they still seemed bothered about the fact that I was with Stefan before. I shook it off and splashed some cold water on my face, knowing this would be a long day.

The hunger was already nagging away in my mind as I struggle to suppress the urge, I was being strict and only allowed myself to have a blood bag every few hours.

I headed back outside and saw Elena talking with Stefan, I know it's rude but I couldn't help listening in.

"I hope you don't think this is too soon or too weird, but I wanted you to have this." Stefan retrieved a small box from his pocket, and as soon as he opened it Elena's face lit it.

"It's beautiful." She marvelled at it, smiling in amazement.

"It's something that I've had forever and I've never wanted to give it to anyone." Stefan shrugged as she took it out of the box, revealing a silver neckless with a large pendant on the end. "Until now. Will you where it for me, for good luck?" He asks and she nods, still smiling.

"Is that rose?" She asked whilst smelling it.

"No it's a herb." He replies and I immediately knew what it was.

Vervain.

He was protecting her from Damon, it was a smart move. I just wish I could see Damon's face when he tries to compel her and it doesn't work.

I saw Elena lean in and knew what was was coming, I carried on walking so that I didn't see them kiss.

Later that evening, the pep rally began and Tanner walked onto the stage to deliver a motivational speech. I stood next to Bonnie in our cheerleader uniforms and waved our pom -poms around whilst laughing like mad people. It was a good way for me to distract my hunger and focus on something else. Although I'd already had 4 blood bags today.

They weren't helping, but I knew that it was better than killing people.

I suddenly heard some glass getting smashed and turned to see a fight going on beyond the crowd of people, Tyler had gone and Stefan seemed to have noticed too. The commotion was attracting more and more people as I walked over to see Tyler punching Jeremy, who lay on the floor. Finally Stefan stood in, grabbing Tyler's arm. I ran over to get Jeremy.

"Are you okay?" I asked as Jeremy shrugged away from my arm, I was only trying to help him steady on his feet. "Jer look at me." I ordered but he yelled and lunged for Tyler, a broken glass bottle in hand. Instead he missed and cut Stefan's hand with the glass.

Everybody stopped and things seemed to move in slow motion, I could smell the blood on Jeremy's cut and bruised face. He walked off thankfully and Matt walked away with Tyler. I feared that if Jeremy hadn't have left, then I could have easily killed him. The fact that such a small amount of blood can get such a strong reaction from my hunger scared me to death.

Elena rushed over to Stefan to see his hand, which had already healed leaving her confused.

"I'm not going mad right Ali?" Elena asked as she walked over to me. "You saw the cut on Stefan's hand?" She questioned as I panicked.

"Ugh well not really, I was trying to hold back Jeremy so..."

"So you think I'm going mad?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No it probably just missed him, it could have just been the light." I shrugged as Elena narrowed her eyes before walking off.

I went over to where Caroline stood with the rest of the cheer squad.

"Thanks for showing up Ali." Caroline rolled her eyes as I narrowed mine at her. Since she'd been seeing Damon, she'd become a lot more bitchier.

I took my place by the banner and began to warm up, stretching out my limbs as I spotted Damon walking through the crowd.
