Vervain {Damon Salvatore}

6. Halloween Party

"Do you know where Vicki is?" Matt asks walking into my room.
"No. I never know where she is." I say. He sighs and walks out.

A couple minutes go by before Stefan calls me.
"Elise, you need to get to my place now." He says.
"Why what's going on?" I ask.
"It's Vicki."
"Shit."

I run out and Matt's not home. I look out the window and the car is gone.

"Fuck, Matt took the car." I say starting to worry. I can hear someone talking in the background. "Damon's picking you up." He says.
"Okay." I hang up.

A couple minutes go by and I hear a car.

I run out and get in.

"What happened?" I ask.
"You can't get mad at me." He says.

My mind starts racing. Did he kill her?

"What did you do?"
"She's in the process of turning."
"What?"
"She died with my blood in her system. She has to drink human blood for her to turn."
"What if she doesn't?"
"She dies."

I feel my heart sink.

"She has to feed then."
"Tell that to dearest Stefan."

We get to the house and I run in.
"Vic." I whisper looking at her.
"It hurts. My head hurts." She says. I step closer to her.

Stefan grabs my arm.
"Don't. You'll tempt her." He says.

I look at her carefully.
"I want to go home." She says.
"I know."
"It hurts. Everything hurts."

I glance over at Stefan.
"She needs to feed. I'm not going to let her die." I say. He tries to say something.

"Here, come on." Damon says grabbing my arm pulling me.
"I'll be back, Vic."  I say before walking out.

I look up at him.
"Damon, I can't lose her." I whisper.
"I know." He says putting his hand on my arm.

"Can you drop me off at Elena's?" I ask. He nods and takes me to her house.

I just sit and try to think of anything but the fact that my sister either becomes a vampire or dies.

Jeremy keeps asking about her and I have to lie.

Elena makes us food when there's a knock at the door.

It's Damon.
"Jeremy, go upstairs." Elena says. He does.
"Can I come in? Oh yeah, I've been invited in." He says walking in. Elena's scared of him.

"Damon, what's going on?" I ask.
"Where's Stefan?" He asks.
"Where's Vicki?" I ask worried. If Damon's not with her, and Stefan is wherever, where is Vicki?

"Go away." Elena says looking at him.
"Tell my brother I'm looking for him."
"Damon, what happened?" I ask grabbing his arm.
"Vicki's gone." He says before walking out.

"Fuck." I mutter sitting down.

I go home and just lay in bed. After a bit Elena calls me.
"Yes?" I ask.
"She fed." She says.
"Shit." I mutter.
"Stefan lost her. She ran off."
"Oh shit."
"It'll be okay."
"Bye Elena." I say hanging up.

In the morning Matt tells me there's a search party for her. I ask to go with but he tells me to go to school. I don't push it.

I get a call from Vicki.
"Hey." I say.
"Hi. I'm okay. Just please don't let Matt worry about me."
"He's worried, Vic."
"I know but please."
"Okay." I sigh.
"You're an amazing sister, Elise."
"I love you, Vic." I whisper.

"Elise." Elena says to me.
"Yeah?"
"You wanna come with? I'm going to Stefan's."
"Yeah." I say needing to see her.

We go over and Damon opens the door.
"Is Stefan here?" She asks.
"Yes."
"Where is he?"
"Hello to you too."
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything you've done?"
"And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?" He asks.
"Cut it out." I say walking in past him.
