Emily Ashworth is just getting settled into college, making new friends, when all of sudden her entire life changes. Who would have thought, the town sociopath would be the one to help her through everything when she needed it most...

The girls were all ready to go out and have fun. There was no denying all four of them looked amazing.
"Selfie!" Caroline shrieked before holding her phone above them all, huge smiles all round.
The girls put the last few touches to their makeup and left the dorm to meet the boys at the club.
They were inside the club now, propping up the bar, still waiting for the Salvatore brothers to arrive.
"What on earth are they doing?! I thought us girls took a while to get ready" Caroline was getting annoyed and kept looking at her phone.
"I'm sure they'll be here soon. Why don't we go have a dance while we're waiting Care?" Emily grabbed the blonde girls hand and was about to head to the dance floor when she had a sudden thought. "First! 4 shots of your best tequila please!" she smiled at the bartender, holding 4 fingers up as the music was so loud she wasn't sure he'd heard her properly. 'Tequila? Oh Em.... why are you doing this to us?" Bonnie sighed, but still took the glass of tequila when the barman deposited it onto the tray.
"3-2-1" With that the 4 girls downed their shot of tequila and ran towards the dance floor.
The music was thumping through their bodies as they danced around, having the most fun any of them had had in a long time. Emily couldn't help feeling like she was free for once. Like she didn't have anything to worry about. Not college, not her brother, not being some crazy vampire, witch hybrid who had absolutely no control over her magic whatsoever.... Oh. Reality hit her suddenly. She was having fun now, but tomorrow morning she would wake up, probably with a headache, and still as a Heretic. George. How would she tell her little brother what she was? Could she ever tell him what she was?
"Hey sweet cheeks. Why so glum?" She felt a hand on her hip as she turned to face the person behind her. He was a handsome guy. Probably about her age. Dark blonde hair swept over to the side and a beautiful smile. She smiled up at him and threw her arms round his neck smiling "I'm not anymore" she said. His hands drifting downwards until they stopped at her arse. "Hey. Hands up dude!" He smirked and moved them up slightly, his fingers still grazing her lower back.
They danced for a while until Emilys feet started to hurt. She looked around to see her friends dancing close by, Caroline winking at her. "Hey, I think I need to grab a drink" "Sure" he said as he guided her off the dance floor towards the bar. "What would you like? My treat" "Uh. Just a water please!" She was already starting to feel dehydrated from the dancing. "Hey, I need to just head to the bathroom quickly. I'll be back in a minute" "Sure thing. I'll be right here beautiful" He gave her a dazzling smile as she headed in the direction of the ladies.
She touched up her makeup in the mirror and smiled at herself. She was feeling pretty good about herself tonight. Despite everything that had been happening, she felt like just a normal person in this moment.
As she walked towards the bar, she saw the guy she'd been dancing with standing there, a glass of water in one hand a two shots in the other. "I got you a shot to chase that water with!" He grinned. "Oh, okay, thanks! Hey, what's your name?" She said, taking both drinks from him, sipping her water before throwing back the shot. The heat hit the back of her throat making her cough slightly. "I'm Shaun. You?" he put his hand out for her "Emily" She smiled and shook his hand.
The brothers still hadn't arrived at this point, but she could still see her friends dancing away on the dance floor. "Do you want to grab a seat? Rest those feet of yours?" He said with a kind smile on his face. "Sure, that sounds like a very good idea!"
They walked to the other side of the club where there were several tables and chairs, and found an empty one. She slumped down in the comfy seat and let out a big sigh.
"My feet are killing me already" She huffed, undoing the straps on her heels. Shaun sat beside her and shifted close to her, putting an arm behind her shoulders. She was starting to feel quite drunk already, even though she'd only had two shots and a couple of small drinks before they left for the club. "I'm not feeling so good" she said as her head started to swim.
"Hey, lets go out and get some fresh air? That may help?" He was so kind. It had been a while since anyone had shown Emily kindness like this. She did her heels back up and stood up, her legs feeling very wobbly. He slung an arm around her waist to support her and they made their way to the back door. As they stepped outside the cold air hit her face and for a moment, she felt a bit better. Then it hit her again.
Everything felt so weird and hazy. She'd been drunk many times before, but she'd never felt like this. Shaun walked with her for a minute then she stopped to lean against a wall in the alley behind the club "I'm really not feeling great" she said, swaying slightly.
"Its okay, I've got you" He was standing right in front of her now. One hand on the wall beside her head, the other on her waist. She could feel his hand sliding downwards to the hem of her skirt, the cold air against her skin as he lifted it up. "Shaun.. I... don't..." she could barely get the words out. in fact she could hardly feel anything at that moment, just the cold on her skin. His fingers drifted up her thighs and grazed across her panties. "You want this. I could tell from the second you saw me you wanted this" he breathed against her neck, the smell of alcohol strong.
She tried to move her hand to push his away but she could barely lift it. She felt like she was frozen like a statue. She felt him pull her underwear down and his cold fingers graze across her skin roughly. "You like that" "No!" she squeaked. But he didn't want to listen. She could feel a ball of energy building up inside her as he started to unzip his jeans. The fear was so intense she wanted to cry out at the top of her voice but she couldn't.
Suddenly she felt a burst of energy and she screamed out "I SAID NO!!!!!" With that there was an ear bursting bang and a huge flash of light and Shaun was sent flying across the alleyway, smashing into the wall on the other side.
She felt her legs begin to give way and just before she hit the ground she felt two strong arms catch her and a muffled voice in her ear. She could just about make out who's voice it was, then her eyes closed and it was black.
