Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

35 • I Have Control!

Aliona's P.O.V

I ran with Stefan and Elena over to Jeremy, Stefan gave him some blood to heal the cut on his arm.

"He'll be okay." Stefan spoke as Jeremy groaned, Elena sighed in relief. Damon stood by some trees up ahead, looking around and not knowing what to do with himself. If he wasn't such a dick, I probably would have felt sorry for him. But this was Katherine we were talking about.

Elena got up and walked over to where Damon stood, I watched silently next to Stefan as she pulled Damon in for a hug.

"I'm sorry." She breathed out, I glanced at Stefan who's jaw was tightened in annoyance.

It really was Katherine all over again.

A week had passed since that night, things were getting back to as normal as normal goes. Except for the fact that Sheila had passed away, Bonnie had moved out of town to her aunts and Damon was...coping...

"What do you mean he's coping?" I frowned as Stefan led me into one of the large rooms of the boarding house; the loud music, the stench of alcohol and blood rising through the air as we neared. I frowned at the sight in front of me, three girls that were half naked were dancing around and covered in bite marks.

"Okay that's not coping." I stood and awkwardly looked at Stefan as Damon noticed us in the room.

"It's Billy Buzzkill and the annoying sister." Damon groaned as Stefan turned off the music. "Greetings."

"Can we talk?" Stefan asked. "Not in front of the tri-delts." He gestured to the three girls around Damon.

"Anything you can stay to me, you can say to them." Damon smirked, the one on the far right seemed to be glaring at me. However Stefan didn't move, eventually Damon detangled himself from the girls and made his way over to us.

"You guys are worried about me, how nice." He smiled sarcastically. "Well don't worry I'm fine, I'm great! I spent the last 145 years with one goal: get in that tomb. I was successful." Damon slurred as he reeked of alcohol. "Granted Katherine wasn't in the tomb but let's not dwell." He shrugged and I was extremely confused as to why he was so fine. "It's fine I can do whatever I want now."

"Yeah that's what we're afraid of." Stefan sighed.

"Relax! I haven't killed anyone in too long." Damon spoke, my nose was twitching from all of the blood in the room. This morning I hadn't managed to have a blood bag, so the stench coming from the girls wasn't helping. "Not sure the same can be said for Ali." Damon smirked and noticed how I was staring at the bloody wounds on the girls necks.

"Damon shut up." I spoke deadpan as he smirked again.

"Why? You thirsty?" He questioned as I glared up at him, a sudden wave of the smell of blood causing the veins to appear under my eyes. "Damn you have less control than Stefan don't you?" Damon laughed as both Stefan and I glared at him.

"I have control!" I snapped as Damon seemed to want to challenge it.

"Well go and feed from one of them then, and don't kill them." Damon spoke as Stefan shook his head.

"Ali you don't have-"

"You guys seriously don't think I can do that? Well I can." I spoke before walking over and grabbing one of the girls, compelling her to stay still.

I sunk my fangs into her neck and relished in the taste of warm fresh human blood, it had been so long since I'd last tasted it fresh from the vein. It was so much better compared to those blood bags. I suddenly remembered Damon's challenge, but I just couldn't pull away from her neck. I didn't want to. I wanted to have every last drop.

"She's not stopping." Damon spoke in a teasing tone as I groaned, not interested in his pettiness. I didn't care about proving the point anymore, I was just hungry. Very hungry.

I felt her body start to give way and pulled away, watching as she fell lifelessly to the ground.

"Well you got half of it right, I did say to feed on her. The alive part...meh needs some work." Damon shrugged as I looked down, feeling like an idiot. It was the most essential part of being what I am and I couldn't even control it.

"I-I have to go." I shook my head and walked back over to my brother's. "I used to have control, I knew someone that helped me. I just have to go away for a bit." I spoke, trying to convince myself.

"What no? I'll help you." Stefan spoke but I shook my head. "No offence but you seem a bit preoccupied with everything else. "Ali I can make time for you."

"And how many more people in this town have to die until then?" I snapped. "I have friends who can help me, they've done it before and we can do it again. I don't need you guys. I've never needed you guys. I spent a whole century on my own so don't think for a second that I'm that timid girl that you left behind in 1864, I grew up and I've survived!" I shouted, angry at them and angry at myself as I wiped the blood from my mouth. "I just need to get control over it again." I spoke quieter and brushed past them, leaving the boarding house for the last time in a while.

I had to get out of this town. Now.

I drove back to Matt's house as fast as I could, rushing inside and stopping at the sight in front of me. Matt was trying to make a drunken woman stay lying down on the sofa.

"Ali! This is my mom, she's come back." Matt spoke with an embarrassed half smile, I nodded but didn't say anything. Instead I ran upstairs and gathered my things, packing as much as I could in as little time as possible. "Ali what are you doing?" Matt asked as I came back downstairs with three full bags.

"I'm leaving town for a bit Matt, I can't stay. I'll be back but don't worry you don't have to keep that room for me, your mom looks like she needs it more. Thanks so much Matty for letting me stay, I promise I'll come back some time soon." I smiled to him as he looked at me in shock, but before he could say anything else I turned and went out of the door.

Swiftly placing my bags in the boot and getting in the car, pulling away from the drive and I was off. Out of this town and free to go somewhere new. Start again for a few months and if I can get my hunger under control, then maybe -just maybe- I could return home soon.
