alejandro's pov

"i did everything right.." mattia mumbled, drinking his bourbon in front of the fireplace. 

i sigh. "it's better this way. for all us. she was nothing but trouble." mattia doesnt say anything. "what you did to trinity was fucked up."

"you think i care?" he scoffs. 

"right, course you don't." i walk upstairs to my bedroom and go to bed. 

the next day, almost evening

mattia's pov

there was no more reason for me to stay here anymore. i'll search all over the world until i can find a witch to open that tomb-- to free cassandra. anything it takes. 

and that's when i felt sharp pain in my neck. someone was injecting me with vervain. before i could turn around and see who it was.. everything went black.

-

"finally, you're awake," i hear a voice say. 

i sit up and see logan fell standing in front of me in some warehouse. "huh, thought i killed you. oh well, i'll do it again." i super speed towards him but he shot me with wooden bullets, making me fall. "ow."

"plenty more where that came from," he grins. "now i'm gonna ask you some questions and if you dont answer them, i'll keep shooting you until you die." 

"answer my question first," i groan. "who turned you into a vampire?"

"that's not how this works." he shoots me. 

"son of a bitch," i scream. "you dont wanna get on my bad side.."

"how do you people live? i'm hungry all the time. there's just bodies piled up over there." logan points to the back where there was dead bodies on top of each other. "i can't stop drinking blood. all i can think about is how i wanna rip my ex girlfriend's artery apart even though i love her."

"oh boo woo," i say loudly, resulting to him shooting me again. "can you stop doing that? and you mean stella?" logan nods. "well it's because you love which is why you wanna kill her. the lust turns into hunger so... might wanna stay away from her."

"fine. next question, why can't i get inside my house?" he asks. 

"you gotta be invited in by the owner."

"so my dad.. great." he shakes his head. "how do you and alejandro walk in the sun?"

"cause we're cool and you're not," i laugh. logan shoot's me four more times. "ow! this is why you aren't cool." 

"answer me," he shouts. 

"fine," i yell. "step 1: lose that ugly tie and maybe you'll be a little bit cooler."

he shoots me again. "i'm getting no where with you."

"who turned you?" i ask again.

"i dont fucking know," he replies. "i'm tryna find out too." 

i roll my eyes but my entire body was in pain. 

logan looks at his watch. "it's getting dark and i gotta go to career day at the high school. but imma need a head start." he must've shot me 10 fucking times. "anyway, have fun getting those bullets out." 

"fuck you," i flip him off and fall on my back. 

skylar's pov

i was walking about looking at the different booths there were but my legs took me to the writer's booth. my mom always wanted me to be a writer, she said i had the talent for it. 

"knew i'd find you here."

i turn around and saw blake. "hey blake."

"being a writer was all you talked about last year," he chuckles.

"i'm not so sure that's what i want anymore," i whisper. 

"cause your mom died huh?"

i nod. "writing was our  thing. now it just feels wrong."

"your mom would want you to become a writer-- for her."

"you think so?"

blake smiles. "all of your talent going to waste? she definitely wouldn't want that." i chuckle. "how's uh alejandro?"

"it's a little bit complicated right now." ale said he would be here but so far i didnt see him. 

"you can always talk to me-- i mean i know it's weird because i'm your ex boyfriend but i'm here for you," blake assures me. 

i smile at him and then see alejandro walking towards us. "hey skylar.."

"anddd.. that's my cue. i'll see you later." blake waves to us and walks off. 

"alejandro hey, you came."

before he could say anything, my aunt stella ran up to us. 

"hide me from the town's asshole please," she grits through her teeth. 

alejandro and i turn around and saw logan fell talking to all the students and parents. he sees us and then winks.  

"uhh," i saw hum. "mr. saltzman." 

my history teacher stops walking and sees me. "skylar diamond, hi."

"stella, this is my history teacher, mr. saltzman. you guys can talk about me and connor okay?" i grab alejandro's arm and yank him to the back so we can figure out a plan for logan.
