Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 50

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Elena, Caroline and Bonnie stared at Megan's dead body when Bonnie suddenly screamed.

"What are you doing?" Caroline growled through gritted teeth.

"What any normal sane person would do, because there's no hiding this." Bonnie whispered. "You're not supposed to be vampires, you're meant to be, so act human. Look scared, shocked, you know, as if this is something you've never seen before." she said.

"She's right Caroline." Elena agreed. "Oh my god. Oh my god." she suddenly began to panic loudly.

"Help...help..." Caroline shouted as people came running across to look at the body.

"I'm calling the police." a voice said.

"We should give her some space. And not let anyone get near her until the police arrive." Caroline said in her compulsion voice, to as many people as possible. She knew it was possible to compel multiple people at once, but she wasn't sure how many she was capable of compelling so Elena decided to join in.

"I agree." she said looking at a group of five people. "We need to give her space and make sure nobody goes near the body until the police arrive." she said.

About nine people over all helped them clear the space around Megan while they waited for the police, who were surprisingly quick, taking only about five minutes to arrive. Once they got to the scene, the police cleared away the gawking crowd which surrounded the body, including Elena, Caroline and Bonnie.

"What is happening?" Elena shook her head. "Our roommate is dead, there was a vampire at the party..." she tailed off thoughtfully.

"We don't know what she knew or who she told." Caroline shrugged. "We should get out of here."

Elena's eyes widened with horror. "Caroline, I left that message on her voicemail!" she said in a panicked voice.

"Don't worry, I took her phone." Caroline assured her.

"What?" Elena cried as a policewoman approached them.

"Hey, girls? I'm Dianne Freeman, I'm head of Campus Security." Dianne introduced herself. "Are you girls okay?" she asked.

"Um..I think so." Elena nodded.

"Yeah, I guess." Bonnie replied while Caroline simply nodded.

"I understand Megan was your roommate." Dianne looked to them as they all nodded to confirm her assessment. "I'm so sorry you had to find her like this." she said sadly.

"Do you know what happened?" Caroline asked.

"We found a note." Dianne told them. "Apparently she was struggling with severe depression." she said.

"Wait, what do you mean you found a note?" Elena turned to Bonnie and Caroline, looking at them suspiciously.

"Your roommate took her own life." Dianne told them.

"You think this was a suicide?" Caroline raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"She didn't seem depressed." Bonnie narrowed her eyes.

"We're convinced it was a suicide." Dianne insisted. "But we can't seem to find her cell phone. Have you seen it?" she asked.

"No." Caroline shook her head.

"Okay. If it turns up, let us know?" Dianne asked as they simply nodded, before Dianne walked away.

"What is going on?" Elena whispered.
