ch. 7: Haunted

Vampire Vicki wasn't hard to track.

And Stefan, Damon and I were all on the case to track down the vampire newbie.

Especially when we saw her try to kill a kid named Tyler Lockwood, her ex-boyfriend and Matt's best friend.

"Vicki! What's wrong with you? Vic!"

Tyler fell out of his car as Vicki mounted him, tilting his head to the side and about to drink when I grabbed her by her waist, pulling her off of him. "Let go of me!" Vicki growled.

"Sure thing," I said simply, pushing her into Stefan's arms as Tyler scurried off the ground, trying to run when Damon was blocking his way.

He looked back at Stefan, Vicki and me. "What's going on here, Stefan? Kaylin, what's wrong with her?"

"You don't talk," Damon said.

Tyler looked back at him. "Screw you, dude."

I tried not to laugh.

"'Dude'? Really? 'Dude'?" Damon asked.

"Damon, don't," Stefan warned.

"Oh, come on. Who's gonna miss this idiot?"

"I can name a few," I said. For one, Matt, Vicki . . . I couldn't come up with anyone else.

Then I watched as Tyler swung his arm back, punching him straight to his face.

When Damon gave him a look that was meant to kill, Vicki growled, "Oh! Don't you hurt him!"

Gripping Tyler by his throat, Damon started his compulsion. "Forget what you saw here tonight. None of us were here."

As Damon threw Tyler over his own car, all of us disappeared before he even hit the ground, and I knew he wouldn't remember a thing.

Damon, Vicki, Stefan and I were all up in Stefan's room as I sat down next to her on a chair, Stefan sitting across from us and Damon sittimg at Stefan's desk behind us, and I handed her the phone. "Here, call Matt and tell him you're okay."

"What's with you?" Vicki asked.

"High on power that she's not used to," Damon answered for me, holding the pocketwatch/vampire compass Logan Fell had yesterday that had originally belonged to Johnathan Gilbert back in 1864, and reading the newspaper. "Blood from the vein is a lot more powerful than the blood bags she drinks. And killing someone, taking it all in one dose?" Damon shook his head tauntingly. "Phew."

"Thanks, Damon," I said sarcastically. I looked back at Vicki. "Just call Matt."

She nodded, already dialing the number and putting it to her ear.

"Yeah?" Matt answered.

Was it bad that my heart jumped?

"Matty?" Vicki asked.

"Vicki, where are you? Are you okay?"

She nodded even though he couldn't see her. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"Tell me where you are and I'll come get you."

"No. Matty, I just need some time to figure things out. Just know that I'm okay, okay? Please don't worry about me." She disconnected the line and looked at Stefan. "I don't understand why I have to stay cooped up here. Why can't I just go home?"

"Because you're changing, Vicki, and it's not something you wanna do alone," Stefan said.

"There's nothing about that Logan guy Kaylin killed in here, not a word," Damon said, still holding the newspaper as he picked up the pocketwatch vampire compass. "Someone's covering it up."
