Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

16 • Dangerous Animal Has Been Caught

Aliona's P.O.V

It was getting too much. Everywhere I looked a different pulse was pounding in a different persons neck. It was sending my hunger into overdrive and I knew I wouldn't be able to do the cheer routine without ripping someone's throat open if I didn't have a blood bag fast.

"Care I'm just quickly going to the bathroom." I mumbled as she huffed and rolled her eyes.

"You're really good at timing aren't you Ali." She sighed as I just ignored her and ran out to the car park. I walked swiftly over to my car but two familiar voices stopped me.

"Let me guess, vervain in the neckless." Damon said, I whirled around to see him talking to an annoyed looking Stefan. "Where did you get it?" He asked as Stefan started to walk away, by this time I'd walked over to back up Stefan.

"It doesn't matter." Stefan shrugged and shook his head at me, telling me to stay out of it.

"I guess I could just seduce her the old fashioned way." Damon shrugged causing Stefan to scoff and me to narrow my eyes at our annoying brother. "Or you know... just eat her." This made Stefan stop walking immediately and I knew Damon had gone to far. "If Ali doesn't beat me to it." Damon smirked and gestured to me, the hunger and anger fusing together in a raging fire inside me.

"No, you're not going to hurt her Damon. Because deep down somewhere inside of you, you do care for her. I was worried that any shred of humanity was gone in you, that you'd become the monster that you pretend to be-"

"Who's pretending?" Damon fired back.

"Then kill me." Stefan spoke as I gasped.

"What? No." I interrupted as Damon laughed slightly.

"Well I'm tempted." He shrugged as I stepped forward, trying to break this up.

"No, no you're not. You've had lifetimes to do it and yet here I am, I'm still alive and then there you are. You're still haunting me, after 145 years. Katherine is dead. And you hate me because you loved her, and you torture me because you still do." Stefan spoke quieter as Damon seemed stunned, so was I. "And that, my brother, is your humanity."

"Salvatore! What the hell we've got a game to play!" A voice called and Tanner came into view. "Forster? Shouldn't you be with the cheer squad?"

"If that's my humanity, then what's this?" Damon cocked his head to the side as we both frowned at him, he walked past Stefan and I knew what he was going to do.

"No!" I called out as Damon attacked Tanner's neck, I could see blood spurting out as Stefan shouted too.

Damon pulled away, the dark veins under his eyes creating a demon like face. Tanner's body fell limp to the floor as Damon stood looking amused. The sudden waft of fresh blood greeted my nostril and I felt my eyes tingle, the veins appearing under mine.

"Anyone, any time and any place." Damon smirked as Stefan looked shocked. "You might want to get Ali out of here." He laughed sickeningly as Stefan turned to look at me, his eyes widening.

"He's right you need to go." Stefan urged, I didn't look back and ran to my car. I ripped open a blood bag and gorged on the addictive metallic liquid. After I'd drank the last drop of my small stash, I composed myself and got out of the car. People were walking around and flashing lights on animal control vehicles cordoned off an area.

"Bonnie what's going on?" I asked as she stood crying, I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a reassuring hug. "Shhh it's okay." I whispered as she cried, I knew what was happening. Someone had found Tanner's body and they think it's another animal attack.
