Lion Rose - Night Light [1] (A Gilbert twin story)

Hunted - Fall Out

Eve couldn't take her eyes off of her bloody hands, everything was spinning around her and she was vaguely aware of Jeremy and Elena calling her name but everything seemed too far away.

When she finally looks up she's meeting with Vicki panting heavily in front of her. Her eyes were blood red and surrounded by black veins. Eve's heart start's to beat faster and Vicki growls in response, exposing her fangs. Fear runs trough Evangeline's body as she tries to move only to be overwhelmed by a sharp pain that spreads through her body numbing her.

"Aaahhh" she whimpers falling forward. Her bloody hands fall flat on the concrete, preventing her from dropping to the cold ground

Vicki growls louder, sending cold chills trough everyone there. Jeremy is quick to intervene despite his fear "Vicki, no" he shouts grabbing her and stopping her from attacking his sister.

The new vampire his taken aback for a second but rapidly thrown Jeremy against one of the yellow busses that where caging them.

Only seconds went by but for Evangeline it seemed like hours, the time was just dragging out like a sick joke. She wanted to move, she wanted to scream, she wanted to do something but she just couldn't, her body doesn't seemed hers anymore and she was never more terrified. Eve knew that Vicki was coming for her and that was it for her

"Eve" Leo's voice breaks through all the chaos and, to Evangeline that was the most beautiful sound in the world

Leo kneels down next to Evangeline putting a protecting arm around her while Stefan slammed Vicki against the bus "are you alright?" Leo asks worried. The smell of her blood was strong around him but he couldn't see the wound

Eve shakes her head weakly "I have a problem" she says trying to sound casual but her voice is low and weak.

Leo gently pushes her up leaning her against his chest, she winces moving her hands to her blood stain shirt "oh my god" Leo let's out when he sees the piece of wood stuck in her stomach

"That bad ah?" Eve jokes weakly turning her head slightly on Leo's shoulder to look at him

He gently brushes her hair out of her face "you're going to be alright" he reassures

"Eve" Jeremy calls kneeling next to his sister "I'm so sorry" he murmurs between the tears

"Take her out of here" Stefan demands in Leo's direction, struggling to keep Vicki from moving

"We have to go" Leo says to Eve

Jeremy looks between them "go where?" he asks

"Jeremy I'm going to be fine, don't worry" she tries to reassure in her weak voice "trust me" she adds giving him the best smile that she could manage at the moment

Jeremy nods, still in shock and, Leo carefully takes Eve in his arms lifting her up slowly. She clutches his shirt tightly, fighting the pain

In that moment Vicky shoves Stefan away from her and disappears.
