The Reason I'm Alive Today

Chapter Seven: Another Broken Promise and a Forgotten Name

()

This week was a hard one, Ric was worried about me and my relationship with Damon but I was worried about the school finding out that I was sleeping at his house. Along with that I went with Bonnie, Jeremy and Damon to the witch house only for Damon to be kicked out however I began to hear whispering, He's here. Don't let him complete the ritual. He'll betray you. I was confused, What did they mean by that? That night I spent it in the witch house hoping to find some answers. I did in a way when I fell asleep. I had awoken again in my home in eighteen eighty four. I was shocked but as I walked around I saw Emily again. "Emily." I said her name hoping she was real. She smiled at me then said, "Hello, my old friend." I hugged her happily as she hugged back. She quickly became serious telling me, "Listen Vita, a man is here to cure his curse. Don't let him! Death, lies, and betrayal follows him where he goes." "Who is he?" I asked confused as she told me, "You know him but not anymore." I now awoke with gasp. I looked around to see I was back in the witch house and I had a blanket on. I slowly took some breaths to calm down then made my way to Ric's apartment but i accidentally bumped into him, "Sorry." I apologized quickly as he said, "No it was my fault." "No, I didn't tell you I was coming. Anyways, are you okay?" "Hanging in there." He told me as I sighed, "Me too." "Why?" I was confused but quickly thought it must have been because he didn't know about my dream or the witch house. "Sorry, I forgot to call you last night." "It's okay did you went home?" "No, I told him sadly but before I could finish we were at his car. "I'll tell you later." I told him, then went off to catch the bus. When I came to school Mr. Saltzman seemed a bit out of it. I was worried that the school found out that I was staying at his house. I tried to talk to him but the bell rang. I managed to catch him after school he told me that my brothers were having a meeting O was a bit unsettled because Damon would be there but I wanted to talk to Bonnie about my dream as well as be there for Stefan so I went. Ric and I were a bit late but we heard the jist of it, Klaus had made his move and Bonnie was going to kill him. I was worried about her, "Hey, are you can do this?" "Yes i'm sure, why?" "I'm just worried." I told her nervously she then sighed, "I'm fine, Vita." "Alright bonnie, I believe you. I said with a smile, Oh I need to asked you something." "What is it?" "Yesterday while we were at the witch I heard whispering I spent the night but I had a dream I was in my house from the eighteen hundreds. As I walked a bit I saw my friend Emily. As I told her this I smiled sadly, She told me that a man's here to cure his curse and will betray me." After I told her this she had a look of supection but said, "I'll see what I can do." I smiled, "Thanks Bonnie." After that I went to my room in the boarding house to get ready I decided not to dress up and just to go in something somewhat formal. Once I was done, I met up with Stefan and Elena and we headed to the dance. Once there, a girl read out a shout out for Elena from Klaus, Asking her to save her the last dance but I was scared, What if he takes Elena or hurts Bonnie? I quickly went to Mr. Saltzman for advice but I heard him tell Elena and Bonnie that Jeremy was in trouble so I quickly followed them only to find out that he's being possessed by Klaus. I quickly went to protect Elena however she wasn't who he was after, "Bonnie!" I cried as I fought I tried to protect her however I was flung to the floor, I tried to get up but I had to get up slowly since her powers are so strong. As I was struggling to get up I heard my brothers and Elena cry out to her to stop or she'll die. No! I thought as I made my way to her, quickly blocking klaus, "Bonnie stop! You're going to kill yourself!" I begged as flung me away I heard a sickening crack as she collapsed. My eyes wide in in fear as I cried out, "No!" I tried to make my was to her but I suddenly felt dizzy I fell over trying to get up. Suddenly the room started spinning before I passed I heard Klaus say, "Thanks for the protection, Miss Vicario." When I woke up in my room I quickly went to talk to Stefan because i've still haven't forgiven Damon yet." "Stefan, I need to talk to you." "What is it?" He asked as Damon said, "And the forgotten sister returns." "Leave her alone, Damon." He defended as Damon started, "Aw come on! You're still ignoring me!?" "What did you do?" "Nothing." He told Stefan as I told them, "He knows my name." "He knows all of our names not any new information." Damon said as I added, "My real name." "How the hell does he know that?" "I don't know?" "Did you tell Alric?" "No, I didn't tell anyone." I told him as he said, "We'll try to figure it out in the meantime keep your guard up." Okay." I said then left however I heard something in the basement.
