When I come to I realize I'm in a room. Stefans room. I get off the bed and head to the mirror. My eyes are all red and puffy from crying. I notice a note on the mirror and I read it.
Stefan: There's food in the kitchen, eat something.
Suddenly realizing that Damon was lose and god knows where, I start to panic again. I dash downstairs and run out the front door. I quickly jump in my car and gun it. Not bothering to stop at the stop signs.
On the way over I called the doctor, told him to start refilling my prescription. Pills. I took them to help with the insomnia I was sure about to start up again. He asked why and I lied, saying the animal attacks were what was affecting me, in a way they were.
I called Tyler and asked them to pick them up for me, and drop them off at home. I didn't want to ask Matt, I didn't want him to know. I accidentally crash into the garbage can as I pull into the garage.
I fumble with the key at the knob, when it finally opens I burst through the door and rush inside like a woman on a mission. I rush to Matt's room. He wasn't there. I get frantic and stumble to pull my phone out. "Come on, pick up, pick up" I mutter.
"Matt!" I yell when he answers. "What's wrong?" He asks. "Where are you?" I ask, frantic.
"The mystic grill. Why?" I breath a sigh of relief. "Nothing, nothing" I say as I make my way to Vicki's room. Her bed is empty.
"Is Vicki working a shift?"
"No, she's not here" "Right, okay. I got to go" I say and cut the call. I call Vicki and pray for her to answer. She doesn't, of-of course she doesn't answer! God forbid the day I need someone to answer the damn phone is when they don't answer!
After my little meltdown, I do the next best thing and call Stefan.
"Hello?" Stefan doesn't answer, Elena does. "Elena. Um" I scratch my head to think of an answer. Crap, Crap, Crap what the hell do I say?!
"Uh, can I, um. Talk to Stefan, please?" I fumble. "Why? We're kind of busy right-" I cut her off. "Elena! Pass me Stefan!" I yell.
"Ariel? What's going on?"
"It's Vicki, Stefan. I don't know where she is. She's not answering the phone and I-I what if Damon, got to her? What if she's dead somewhere?" I say, frantic running a hand through my hair.
"Calm down, Ariel. I'm on my way right now, I just got to drop Elena off. Stay indoors, I'll be there soon" I nod, but there is not way I'm actually staying inside and do nothing.
"Be careful" I nod. I cut the call and it rings again, this time it's Matt. "What is it?" I ask as I drink down my coffee, shakily.
"Jeremy called. He says Vicki showed up over there. And that something's wrong"
"Say no more"

"Where is she!" I yell when Jeremy opens the door. "What's she on?" Matt asks as Jeremy leads us both inside to the kitchen.
Where Vicki sits on the ground eating. Away from the sun. "I don't know" Jeremy replies baffled. "Hey Vicki. How you feeling?" Matt asks as he kneels down and removes her shades.
"Not good. I hurt" she replies in a whiny voice.
"Where does it hurt?" I ask kneeling down beside Matt. "My Gum- there's something in my gums, and it hurts" She whines touching her jaw.
Her jaws hurt? Oh no. "Ok well-"
"No, just leave me alone" She whines. "Come on vic. Don't be like that. Let's get you home" Matt says and reaches out to her.
"Just turn it off!" She yells. "Turn what off?" Jeremy asks, confused. "The talking. The chatter. Just turn it off" She yells as she gets up.
She stood in front of the living room where the news is playing. Logan Fell was the one talking. I get the controller and lift the volume up. They said they found 3 bodies, a drug deal gone bad.
Drug deal gone bad my ass.
"That's where we were last night" Jeremy exclaims in shock. "What happened Vic?" I ask whirling around to her. She shakes her head.
"Alright I'm calling the cops" Matt declares. "No don't!" Vicki yells.
"What happened after I left last night Vick?" Jeremy asks her. In response she pushes him away making him crash into the couch. "Jer are you alright?" I ask as Matt goes to help him up. "I'm fine" He yells angry as he gets to his feet.
"What's going on?" Elena asks, upon seeing all of us. Stefan is behind her, I met his eyes with a worried glance. "She's really messed up" Matt replies, Stefan goes to Vicki and puts a hand on her, making her look at him.
"Vicki, look at me. Focus. You're gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine" He turns to Matt. "Take her upstairs, shut the blinds, she's gonna be fine" He says, Matt grabs Vicki and Jermey follows.
"What's happening to her?" I ask him, unaware that Elena is still there. "She's transitioning" I gasp.
"Wait. You know?" Elena asks. I spin to her, eyes widening. We both turn to Stefan and yell.
"SHE KNOWS?!"
Stefan looks up the stairs, wondering if the boys heard anything. Elena turns to me, angry. "You knew, about Vampires! You knew about Stefan and Damon! How long?" I bit back my bottom lip and cross my arms.
"For awhile now. Since the comet" Her eyes bulge. "That was weeks ago! You knew about Caroline! The bite marks on her. Why didn't you do anything" I want to laugh but instead I yell.
"What did you want me to do! I'm human Elena! And Damon is a vampire! Did you want me to tell Liz, do you know what he would have done? He would have either compelled her to leave and forget about what I said and kill me. Or killed her and then killed me! I didn't see an option"
"But you could have told me!"
"I couldn't Elena! I'm sorry I don't revolve around you like everyone else! I'm sorry for not revolving around you like the sun you are!
You aren't the only one dealing with shit Elena! I just found out my mother died at the hands of a vampire. I don't even remember what the vampire looked like or who it was cause they compelled me to forget!
And now I lost the only parental figure in my life at the hands of another vampire. So excuse me for not following protocol!" I yell, my voice breaking at the end. She stares at me, widening in shock.
I don't even realize I'm crying till I taste the salt on my lips. I look away from her and wipe my tears with my sleeve. I turn to Stefan.
"How-how does she finish her transition?" I ask. He sighs and takes a step closer.
"She has to feed on human blood"
"And what if she doesn't?" I ask weary of the answer. "
