Chapter 4- Temper, Temper

Disclaimer- I only own the plot and my OC Roxanne.

The feeling of dread crept into Roxanne as she watched the looks Elena and Jeremy were sharing, she knew that look and that was enough for her breath caught in her throat as tears gathered in her eyes however, she refused to let them fall. How, how could this have happened? What happened to her? And why didn't she know, why didn't anyone try to contact her? That last thought caused Roxanne's eyes to harden and her mouth to press into a firm line. Nobody had even tried to contact her to tell her that Jenna was gone and that was enough for rage to take over the dread and sadness.

Her arm moved before her mind fully caught up and sent her plate flying across the room where it smashed into pieces against the wall closest to her siblings. Roxanne's sudden action caused Elena and Jeremy to flinch and stare at her with wide eyes but she didn't want to look at them, she couldn't, not without completely losing her tempter.

Roxanne jumped off of the counter and turned so that she was facing the wall, holding onto the edges so though they could keep her grounded. The sound of her heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard in the silent house, no one moved or spoke they were all too lost in thought.

"When?" Roxanne's question was met with silence which only caused her rage to grow.

"I swear to God if one of you don't tell me what the hell happened to her." She didn't need to finish her sentence for them to understand her underlying threat.

They both knew exactly how serious Roxanne was which is exactly why they told her the truth, well Jeremy decided to tell her

"It happened almost six months ago...she was murdered" He finished with a whisper

Roxanne whipped around so fast that for a split second, if Jeremy and Elena didn't know any better they'd have said she moved with vampire speed however they couldn't dwell on those thoughts for too long because Roxanne erupted.

"SIX MONTHS!? SIX FUCKING MONTHS! SHE'S BEEN DEAD FOR HALF A YEAR AND NO ONE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME!"

Angry didn't even begin to describe what Roxanne was feeling when she heard those three words uttered by her brother, they kept repeating over and over again in her head. Six months...Murdered...Murdered.

"Murdered" Her voice was barely above a whisper as the word hit her full force before she spoke with a clearer, steadier voice "Who?"

Elena shot Jeremy a small glare for letting that detail slip but he responded with a pointed look and a shrug as if to say 'what was I supposed to tell her. I'm not going to lie to her, it's Roxanne'

"We, we don't know" Elena decided to reply this time, lying through her teeth.

Roxanne still couldn't look at them and just kept her gaze on the worktop. "So you're telling me that our aunt was murdered and not only didn't anyone try to contact me but that the bastard that did it hasn't been caught" with a nod of her head "Ok then" she spun around and strode towards the front door, her sibling calling and hurrying after her.

"Roxanne!"

"Roxy wait!"

However, she paid them no attention as she reached for the door handle. She had one destination in mind and not even her sibling would be able to talk her out of it. Roxanne paused when she felt a small feminine hand grab her elbow.

"You two need to stop." She took a deep breath "You both need to leave me alone right now because I am barely holding myself back from lashing out at you so you really need to let go"
