Elijah's son

Chapter 15: It's all my fault

I pushed through the doors and yelled,"Mom, Dad."

"What's going on," Mom said as she came into view.

"Who's that," she said, pointing to Alex.

"A friend. She knocked her head and I don't know what to do. Please," I said, on the verge of tears.

"Take her upstairs to one of the guest rooms. I'll call Freya and we'll figure something out," she said and I nodded.

I walked past her and was about to walk up the stairs when Dad stopped me.

"Who's that," Uncle Nik said and I quickly said,"A friend."

I walked all the way upstairs and to the guestrooms because I was now a little scared of using vamp speed.

What if she gets hurt from it?

I laid her on the bed and cleared the hair that was on her face just as Mom came in with a blonde lady.

"Who are you," I asked as the lady started to lay things on the table.

"Daniel, this is your Aunt Freya. She's a very powerful witch. She'll help her," Mom said as I tore my gaze away from whatever my "Aunt" was doing and looked at her.

"Please. Help her. It's my fault. If I," I was saying before I heard Alina's scream.

"Go," she said and I nodded.

I vampsped downstairs and saw Alina against the wall with Travis holding her there, choking her.

I pulled him off her and he said,"What now."

"Don't touch her," I said simply before turning to look at Alina.

"How is she," she asked and I shook my head,"I don't know. My mom said that they could heal her but."

"Wait, where's Jeremy," Iasked and she said,"Driving."

Just as she said that I heard an engine shut off and a knock on the door.

Apparently, Dad opened it because he walked into the main room with a confused Jeremy.

He looked at me and I shook my head.

"Maybe you should change," he said and I took in my appearence.

My jeans were dirty from kneeling on the floor, my shirt was dirty, too, and I had dried blood on my hand from how hard I punched the football player.

"Yeah. Um. Do you guys want something to eat or," I siad trailing off.

Alina put her hand on my shoulder and said,"It's okay. This isn't your fault and she will wake up."

I nodded my head and she whispered,"Go."

I changed my clothes and splashed some water on my face.

I walked downstairs and saw that Alina was asleep on the couch, leaning on Jeremy.

He tried to get up when he saw me but I stopped him.

"She fell asleep as soon as she sat down," he said and I nodded.

"You can put her in one of the guest rooms," I said and he nodded.

He scooped her up in his arms and I led him to one of the guest rooms.

He put her down and I pulled the sheets over her.

"Are you okay," he asked as soon as I shut the door.

"What," I asked him.

"Sorry. Let me rephrase that. You almost knocked a guy unconsious less than 24 hours ago and Alex is fighting for her life. What's up with you," he said sarcastically.

"I feel like this is my fault. If I hadn't left her alone and handled this better, she wouldn't," I said and turned myself so I was facing the wall.

"Look, dude. I'm your bestfriend. Have been for quite a while, now. You would never intentionally hurt her," he said and Inodded.

"Come on, let's eat," he said but I shook my head.

"I'm not hungry. I can't eat, not while," I said but he stopped me.

"She wouldn't want you beating yourself over it," he said and I nodded.

"Come on," he whispered and we both made our ways downstairs.

I was drinking a glass of blood and Jeremy was drinking some juice.

We were talking about the new football season but my mind kept wondering back to Alex.

We both went out to the living room when Dad called my name.

I saw the sheriff and the football player Ipunched standing there.

We both looked at each other and then back at them.
