Some Say Ice

Annie

For the first time in a while i woke up peacefully. I worked another later shift today so I had time to kill. I got up and did my normal morning routine without a change of clothes and then went to my kitchen to make myself some cereal for breakfast. After Im done I go back to my painting that i didn't finish last night. His expression looked like his heart was breaking like the dream I had the night before. I picked up where I left off with the painting and started mixing colors to get his skin tone again and start painting his neck. I added some shading and a few beauty marks i noticed he has. I start to paint a white shirt on him shading it and putting folds in the fabric where they would be to make it more realistic. I looked at my progress so far and decided to let it dry for a few minutes before attempting to add in a background. After a few minutes of deciding what I wanted to put i settled on doing the forest that he was at in the dream that I am painting him from with the full moon peaking from behind Nik. After I finished the whole painting going back in on other parts and putting other details making it as perfect as I like, something was still off. My eyes kept looking at the moon I had painted on and the rest of the painting. I picked up a brush and some red water color paint and without putting much more thought into it I added a red shadow to the moon. The painting was perfect now.

I got ready for work after the painting and cleaning my place up a bit. I wore light washed ripped jeans , a nude spaghetti strapped top with nude heels and a pair of gold earrings and some matching gold rings on my fingers. I put on some lip gloss and mascara before leaving my place and locking the door and getting into my car to go to work. I get to The Grill and remembered a live performance was happening today to draw in more buissness and park my car around the back and walk in and go greet Annie first. "Hey Annie." I said going up to her as she was giving Matt a plate of food to serve to a table. "Hey Donovan." I said once i saw he was there. "Hey Ally." He said with a small smile before taking the order to its table. "Hello sweetie you look gorgeous." Annie said hugging me. "Thanks i decided to dress up a bit today. Who knows might get me more tips?" I said with a smile. Annie laughed before excusing herself to go back to work and i left to clock in and go to the bar to start my bar tending shift.

I put my red waves in a high ponytail and put on my half apron that just goes around my waist. I walk over to the bar and see the bartender that was working before me there, Sarah. "Hey Sarah, I'm here you can escape now." i said jokingly. "Thanks Ally see you next time." she says letting her hair down and grabbing her purse to clock out. "Alright who needs a refill?" I asked and started getting to work. I gave a few very drunk people watered down versions of their drinks so they don't get too crazy and pass out at my bar and i called a cab for an older gentleman with a low tolerance. I listen to the band who is pretty good but then the music stops so they can take a break and i hear Caroline's voice through the speakers. "Give it up for the band everybody!" She says enthusiastically. I start clapping as i prepare for what she could possibly do next. I see Jenna Elena and Bonnie looking at their friend. "You know there's this guy..." Caroline starts rambling while looking at the crowd then to Matt. The lead guy in the band tries to interrupt her but she swiftly compels him to go along with it and she starts singing to Matt. Everyone starts going along with it because its really good. I starts shouting and whooing as Matt runs up and starts kissing her on stage.  Everyone erupts in clapping and shouts for the scene before it all returns to normal hanging out and people congratulating her as they got off stage.

I continue work making shots for other workers to carry on trays so random people can grab and go as they please in the crowd. I make more shots for the people at my bar as well. A man walks into the grill that Bonnie seems to recognize and starts to talk to then suddenly he turns and the stage lights explode. Then lights everywhere start to do the same. "Bonnie!" I said and left my station running over to her. People start evacuating then a bottle at my bar breaks and sets the bar on fire. The guy spells Bonnie and knocks her out but Matt finds her and grabs her so I go after the guy. "Hey!" I yell and he stops and turns to me. "Doctor Martin!" Elena yells and he looks to her. "I am so sorry about Luka. We never wanted that to happen, at least let us help you get your daughter back." The man shakes his head in denial. "Only Elijah can do that." He says. "You don't need Elijah." Elena says. This made him angry and he made the flames at the bar higher and spread. Caroline jumped on him and tried to bite him but he gave her an aneurysm. Matt tried to help but he stabbed him in the neck.
