The Reason I'm Alive Today

Chapter Fifteen: Old life, New People

()

That night, I went to the only person I could trust. After I knocked on his door I heard the shocked repley of my name, "Vita?" "Hi Ric." "What are you doing here?" "I'm sorry but can I come in?" "Yeah sure are you okay? Did Damon do this?" "No, I told him while shaking my head, It was Stefan." "I'm sorry, Vita. He told me as I cried in the morning I awoken to find Ric leaving, "Hey." "Oh sorry if I woke you up. "No, it's fine where are you it's too early for school." "Elena wants me to teach her how to kill vampires. I was a bit worried until he told me, She just wants to protect herself." "Do you mind if I come? I don't but why? I only want to watch. I told him shyly as he nodded his head we met Elena in the woods where Ric started teacher her how to stake a vampire Elena was a bit unsure of herself but Ric was sure she would do fine. I smiled a bit when she took a break we started talking she told me about what was going on here while I told here about my summer in the end I learned that Damon and Elena we're friends now, Ric and Damon had a falling out and Caroline's father tried to "cure" her of being a vampire. I was upset at that but we soon went to school where I saw my brother harassing Elena, "Stefan! Just leave her alone!" I said as he smirked, "Really Vita? Do you really think you can stand up to me? Especially after that warning I gave you last night?" I felt a shiver go down my spine but quickly told him, "I'm not afraid of you." "Really? Well then I guess you won't mind moving back in with me?" I started to feel myself shake again but said, "Of course not." "Good, I'll see you soon then." He then left as Elena apologize but I just gave her a weak smile, "It's okay Elena, it's not your fault." but I was still scared of what hole I had just dug myself into. Later that day, I learned that Rebekah was in my literacy arts class and after school she tried out for the cheerleading team. Caroline told me that she even tried to show her off but I think the worst of it was the fact that Tyler abused his abilities to cut his practice so his friends could get wasted. I frowned id disapproval before leaving to Ric's house. "I don't know what to do." I said after finish telling Ric about my day, "Don't listen to him. You don't have to go unless you want to." "I know but i'm not-i'm not bothering you am I?" "No, Of course not." He told he with a smile suddenly his phone rang, he then told me, "I'm sorry Vita but I have a meeting to go to." "I understand." He smiled a bit then told me, "I'll be back soon." I sighed then made my way to the cemetery to see my friend's tombstone, Emily Bennett. I sighed sadly before saying, "Hi Emily, I'm sorry I haven't visited but haven't been in Mystic Falls for a while. I really need to talk to you, Stefan's a ripper again, Tyler's a hybrid and I don't know what's he's capital of, Klaus is gone but his sister Rebekah is here, everything is just, I sighed, I don't know scary? I just wish you were here. I wish I could've died that day." I muttered sadly when I heard a voice say, "Come now, no day is that hard." I quickly stood up to see a woman's figure approaching me, "W-Who are you?" I asked nervously as she just smiled telling me in a foreign accent, "Do not be afraid. I'm simply a friend you don't know." "So a stranger?" I asked as she laughed, "In a way yes." I smiled a bit relaxed now while asking her, "Are you visiting?" "Not really but I am here to talk to you." She answered leaving me confused so I asked, "What about?" "Tell me, what are you going to do when a situation becomes more drastic then it is now?" "I don't know." I told her as she sighed then told me before leaving, "I'll come back when you're ready." I tried to stop her but immediately awoken on the front porch of the boarding house. I was confused of how I got here but quickly ran inside when I heard a familiar scream however I wasn't prepared for what I saw next.
