Ch. 22: Founder's Day

Two cheerleaders led the parade with a banner, the Marching Band following behind as Mrs. Carol Lockwood said, "Let's give a big hand for the Mystic Falls High School Marching Band."

 

"And for a little local history, Mr. Saltzman's students have recreated Virginia's Battle of Willow Creek." Jeremy was on that, Confederate soliders as Tyler pretended to shoot Jeremy and Jeremy pretended to die.

"Landies and gentlemen, please welcome our stunning Mystic Falls Court and their handsome escorts." Elena and Stefan, Caroline and Matt. Ouch. "This is Caroline Forbes, Miss Mystic Falls. Aren't they beautiful?"

I saw Elena waving to Bonnie, and Damon stepped in the way, right before talking to Bonnie.

The last float to go was the football players, four cheerleaders surrounding them. "Let's cheer for the Mystic Falls High School football team."

That was how the parade ended.

I hadn't seen much of anyone since the parade until night and I saw Anna. "You're still around?"

"There's something you need to know," Anna told me. "The vampires from the tomb are planning to attack tonight."

"How do you know this?" I asked.

"We went to them," Anna answered. "They think we're with them but we're not. They want the Founding Families dead."

"When is all this supposed to happen?" I asked. 

"When the fireworks start," Anna answered.

I sighed at the long pause as I told her, "John Gilbert wants to use the invention on them."

"Then we can't be here!" Anna said.

"It doesn't work. It's been deactivated."

"Well, then a lot of people are gonna die."

"Where are they right now?" I asked.

"They're already here, Kaylin," Anna answered.

Damn it.

In Town Square, I saw Alaric and walked toward him. "Ric!"

"Yeah?" Alaric asked.

"You keep those nifty little vampire darts in the car?" I asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Alaric asked.

"Because this square is crawling with tomb vampires," I answered. "I think we might need a stake or two."

"Yeah, I got it."

He was already going toward the car as I saw Damon, strode quickly toward him when I saw Stefan and Elena too, grabbing Damon's collar and pulled him with me toward Stefan and Elena.

"Kaylin, what the hell are you doing?" Damon asked as I pulled us to a stop in front of Stefan and Elena.

I looked at Elena. "Saving her life." I looked over all of them. "Fifteen words or less . . . Tomb vamps are here, Founding Families are their target."

"That's only nine," Damon said. "I can say the last six." He looked at Stefan, talking about Elena. "Get her out of here, now."

Both Damon and I started to leave as Stefan called, "Wait, what are you doing?"
