Little Witch

After School Special

--

I laid in my bed as I sobbed into my pillow, the door bell rang but I ignored it as I cried more and more. A hand was laid on my back as I heard, "Aaliyah?" I turned seeing April as she smiled softly at me. She wiped me tears and hugged me making me cry harder. "I got you." she whispered.

When I calmed down, April and I laid against my headboard of my bed, as she squeezed my hand. "I need to tell you something, and I don't want you to freak out." she says and i turned to her. "Remember when dad used to fill our heads with stories about vampires? Well they're real." I nod and clear my throat. "April. I need to tell you the truth." I tell her and she looked at me weirdly.

I looked around and grabbed an extra pillow before ripping it open. "What are you doing?" she asked, but I shushed her. I held my hand over the pile of feathers before lifting it higher and a feather followed. "Whoa." she mumbled before the feathers scattered around the room floating at different heights around us. "I'm a witch, and there are a lot more than Vampires out there." I tell her revealing the truth. "Got that right." We hear and turn seeing Rebekah, "Bex?" I asked and she smirked, "Thank you for removing my dagger." She tells April and I grew confused. Rebekah then turned to me "Now, I need your help, finding the cure, or she dies"

A memorial service for Carol Lockwood is underway in the gym of the high school. The students are lighting candles in glass cups as part of the service. Liz is speaking at a podium in front of the stand. "Carol Lockwood always said that togetherness in times of tragedy leads to healing, that one community is stronger than a thousand of its members. But how does a community stay strong after losing its leader? And Carol was so much more than a leader; she was an open-minded friend and a concerned mother, taken from us too soon by a terrible accident."

Tyler is among the students, silent but looking on edge. "Screw this." He snaps and passes by me but I rush out after him, "What? Tyler? Tyler?" I call out and follow him. "This is your fault you know." I snap and he turned to me, "Klaus killed mom, Aaliyah. How is this my fault?" He snapped raising his voice at me. "Because you and your marry band of dead hybrids went after him, me, Caroline, and Stefan. I'm tired of this manifesto you're trying to pull. Pull your head out of your ass before you loose me to." I snapped and push him back.

Except when I turned to leave, Tyler grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. It knocked the wind out of me, and I opened my eyes to see his ember ones. "Kill me, or well try." I said coldly. I held my hand on his chest and he flinched holding his head. "Maybe you're the one who needs a time out Tyler." I snapped as he held his head yelling in pain.

"Aaliyah!" Caroline yelled but I never took my hands off my brother. I quickly twisted my hand making a fist and Tyler was knocked out. "Take him home. I have things to do." I snapped and stalked off.

I pulled up at the Gilbert lake house and walked up to Matt who greeted me with a hug. "How's April?" he asked, "I told her, she took it better then I thought." I shrugged, "And you?" He asked but I walked past him. "D. Jer." I say and smile as I sit on the table. Damon eyed me but I ignored him as I watched Jeremy put bullets in a gun. He hands the gun to Damon. Damon removes the bullets.

"Good. Now, do it like your life depends on it, 'cause it does." Damon says, "Don't act like you care about my life. You care about the hunter's mark and curing Elena so she's not sired to your ass." Jeremy snapped, "Both require you to be alive. Which is why I updated our relationship status to 'it's complicated.' Have you talked to her at all? Elena?" Damon asked, "Maybe. Why? Running out of voicemails to listen to?" Jeemy snapped."I'm sorry. Did I interrupt play time?" Klaus appears "What the hell are you doing here?" Jeremy asked as I bit my lip.
