The Gilbert Witch 4

The Five

Woods

I know it's crazy but I almost killed Matt last night. Damon had to rip me off of him and then compel him to forget. Call it "Doppelgänger curse" or whatever, but I can't drink animal blood. I can't drink from a blood bag, I can only drink from the vein. "I explained.

I dodge an arrow that Stefan shoots at me.
It sticks into the tree behind me.

A little slow. I almost got you. "He said.
Not really feeling it today. "I said sighing.

I take the arrow out of the tree and throw back at him, he dodges it as well.
I smile.

What about Caroline? She's a genius at self-control. "Stefan suggested.
She's too good. She doesn't understand how hard it is and you...well, I know what being around too much blood does to you, so...I can't put you through that. "I told him.

He rushes towards me and grabs me from behind, pointing an arrow at my heart.

So I guess that leaves Damon, huh? "He asked.

I flip him over me and he lands on the ground.
I sit down on top of him and place the arrow against his neck.

Calm down. I wish it could be you but I really don't want to put you through that. "I told him.
Fine, you wish it could be me. "He said sighing.

He sits up and I sit next to him.

We're crashing Bonnie's trip to Whitmore College. Elena is going to come to make sure nothing goes wrong. The professor that took over Bonnie's Grams' classes, he invited her. Listen to me. You are the one who's getting me through this, no matter who teaches me how to feed. "I told him.

Okay. "He said.

He superspeeds us into a tree.

Just be careful, okay? The blood, the feed...It's easy to get caught up in it. "He said.

I switched our positions.

I will. I promise. "I told him softly.

We hug each other for a while.

Whitmore College

We're Outside the college, Me, Damon, Elena, and Bonnie pull up to the front of the school and we get out of Damon's car.

Are you sure that you're okay with this? "I asked Bonnie.
If I could spell you out of wanting blood, I would, but I can't, so better you learn this now than at freshmen orientation. "She said.

Something tells me that college isn't in her future anymore. "Elena said.

Hey! "I said offended.
Oh, stop with the pity party. If I can go to college, she can go to college. "Damon said.
You went to college? "Bonnie asked him in disbelief.
Sure, plenty of times. I always had a thing for sorority girls. "He said smirking.

You're disgusting. "She told him.
I know. "He responded.

I rolled my eyes.

Me, Elena and Bonnie walk off.
Damon follows behind us.

Professor Shane's Classroom

When I say the word "witch", what pops into your head? "Prof. Shane asked.

Me, Elena, Bonnie, and Damon walk into the classroom.

Halloween costume? Villain of a fairy tale? Maybe an ex-girlfriend? Well, whatever image it is it's probably not "Flips to another slide." Tanyell Soso of Montego, Cameroon. "Prof. Shane said.

We all sit down.
Me, Elena and Bonnie stare down at Professor Shane.

Is that him? "Elena asked.
Yeah. "Bonnie answered.
He's kind of... "I started.
