The Girl Who Restored My Humanity Sequel (A Vampire Diaries FanFiction)

Chapter 13 - Numb.

~Damon's POV;~

It was early morning, and I was wide awake.

Once I had returned home last night from my 'bite to eat', the house was silent. The atmosphere felt dark, now that Ally had left. When I did return home, everything came flooding back to me, and knowing that Ally was gone, killed me all over again. I had walked upstairs and stayed by Ally's side all night, just holding her cold hand, in both of mine.

And I was still sitting here, holding Ally's hand. I glanced down at her and moved the strand of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. A part of me was glad she wasn't in pain anymore. But the selfish part of me wanted her back. I wanted Ally back. I loved how she unexplainably lit up the room and how stubborn and annoying she was, I loved her. She had copied my traits and always stood by me, when noone else would. She saw behind my darkness, and was the only one to do that.

I ignored the pain in my heart and slowly took my hand from out of hers, leaving her on my bed I walked away and stepped into the shower, letting the hot water rinse my body, trying to wash my worries away. I ran my hand through my wet black hair and heard the news come on, catching my immediate attention.

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist before walking into my bedroom. I looked at my TV on the wall and turned up the volume as the news reporter said "The authorities believe last night’s assailant may also be related to the missing campers and Park ranger who have yet to be found as well as 25 year old Jessica Koenig, who was reported missing this morning. The sheriff department says investigations are pending and no further comment will be made." I felt guilt rising inside of me but I immediately turned off the guilt then turned off the TV.

I turned to Ally's body and thought of what to do with her, I couldn't bury her, the thought of that was too painful. I would leave her here for today and figure something out later. I walked over to the doorframe to leave my room, as I quickly glanced at Ally, lying, unmoving, gone.

I frowned and quickly looked away from her, unable to see her like that. I knew it had affected Stefan, and it must have affected Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie, Caroline. All I knew was that I couldn't let this get to me, people couldn't see my weakness. But the painful thing was, I wanted Ally back.

~Elena's POV;~

I had woken up this morning, feeling an emptiness in my heart. A part was missing.

Ally.

I immediately regretted thinking of her, knowing it ached my heart and made tears build up behind my eyes. It was unexplainable, the pain of losing her, the missing piece to my life, she was practically my sister, she was my best friend. We had always promised eachother when we were young that we would die together, old and grey. She was taken from me, in an awful way and way too early. I was supposed to die with her. We were supposed to grow up together, be godmother's to one anothers kids, and be best friends for the rest of our lives. That was ripped away from me, along with a piece of my heart.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked in the mirror, putting on a brave smile as I looked at the framed photo of Ally and I in our cheerleading outfits, when Ally could still be bothered to go, when we were happy. As soon as Ally started bunking from cheerleading I found the fun of it all drift away, I had only joined because of Ally.

I wiped the tears away again and exhaled slowly, I had to keep strong for Ally. Ally's words rang through my ears "you need to fight, you need to keep strong for the others, they'll need you." I nodded and walked away from my bedroom, I had to be there for the others, I had to do this for Ally.
